Style VS Substance

Donald Trump Vs Barrack Obama

As a Donald Trump supporter I must admit that Barrack Obama has more style. He looks good in front of the camera, is great with delivering lines from the teleprompter and really presents a great image for our country… that is if you ignore the substance or policy decisions which come from his mouth/ pen.  I can understand how those who aren’t big fans of the Donald “feel” with his less then artful style so far. Yet a President must be more then look good he/she must put together policies that make the American people feel good as well.  Donald Trump has run on issues that will make our country great again and soon it will be time to deliver on that substance.  Yet we can see that substance even before he has taken office (Carrier, Ford GM, etc) .  I ask that the American people give the Trump Administration a chance to deal with substance, for we have had too many Emperor(s) that looked fine initially but were truly wearing no clothes.

Inauguration(s)

George W Bush Inauguration Ronald Reagan Inauguration Donald Trump Inauguration Donald Trump Inauguration.jpg 3

As I embark on the latest Inauguration it is quite striking how different each event is in my life.  The first Inauguration I intended was for Ronald Reagan but the weather was too cold and therefore it was held inside with private guests. I got to enjoy the rest of the festivities though including a youth Inaugural ball which featured acts such Chaka Khan and watching President Reagan and Nancy dancing.  It was one of the most amazing times of my youth.  At the 2nd Inauguration I intended with my wife and children as well as their Au Pair in lieu for George W Bush.  At this one I went all out seeing the Inauguration and attending the NY State Dinner as well as a Black Tie Inaugural Ball. I learned that watching the balls on T.V. could be more fun then actually attending the event.  We picked up some amazing souvenirs which I still own today from this inauguration and had loads of family fun.   Today I embark on the Inauguration of Donald J Trump with my wife. This is going to be the mellowest of the 3 as I hope to go to the concert tonight and just attend the Inauguration refraining from the parties since it will be Shabbas when they occur. Who knows the excitement, fun and craziest that will occur with this trip all I can say is it adds another page to my book at the inaugurations.

Eat Fine Chocolate

Raaka Chocolates 1  Fine Chocolate 2

When eating fine chocolates (ex above) you eat with precision not gluttony. Small pieces should be broken off the bar and carefully melted in your mouth. The pieces should be no larger then 1″ with minutes passing by before absorbing the next portion if at all.  It might sound a bit snobbish but as a Chocolate Snob. These are  rules and if you are to break them so will you destroy the incredible experience of nirvana.   It’s your choice eat or enjoy/absorb but don’t say you that you weren’t warned.

 

Biopolar Days

Bipolar days

Sometimes days appear very cold and hot where really great things appear to be happening in one moment and annoying/bad things in the next.  It is amazing how out of the darkness of a day suddenly sun will appear out of know where and fade away before you get your sunglasses on.  Today was such a day where things were rolling faster then a roller coaster but thank G-D the dips weren’t deep enough that I couldn’t  pull up to the next height which included learning great talents of loved ones and exploring new ventures.  Tomorrow I’m hoping to wear those sunglasses as an exciting journey awaits…

Ma thematic Phenomenon

Mathematic equation

I had one of these moments (above) on my own board and it was truly a phenomenon.  I went to buy 4 items at one cost (see below) and 3 items at a totally different price yet the totals came out to be exactly the same to the penny.  What is the odds that this equation would occur in the real world without any thought to what was happening in the real time?  Life is more of a mystery then we make think and who knows where our numbers might just come up.

EACH                                  TOTAL

4- Mop Buckets                    38.13                                    152.52

4- Garbage Cans                  50.84                                    152.52

Scream Rules

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Screaming 1 Screaming 2

I try not to raise my voice unless it meets specific criteria/rules (below) and when I don’t follow these rules my screams only hurt my own voice. It is a tough act to follow but here are the basic conditions when the steam must come out.

(1) WORKS- The scream should have a definitive effect on changing some behavior that is causing the steam to rise.

(2) NEUTRAL RELEASE- It won’t effect your standing with the community but needs to get out anyway.

(3) PASSION- This is the best scream of all reserved for ballparks, concerts and even some adult behavior.

(4) LAST RESORT- Whether you’re in that dark alley way which suddenly someone else appears in or you will break your straws instead of give them hot air there is a time for this scream.

George H. W. Bush- Feel Better for yourself & our Country

George H. W. Bush

Whatever you might have thought of George H. W. Bush politics let’s all wish him a speedy recovery from his latest hospital stay for not only himself but our country as a whole. In times when we appear more divided then ever George H. W. Bush just by being with us, provides some extra dignity and unity. He has always showed respect for those after he left office and especially for the offices he held in a way our current crop of leaders should emulate.  There were no boycotts of official governmental events he attended, while still having respect for others who strongly disagreed with him. George H.W. Bush may G-D grant you a speedy recovery for the good of yourself and the country which still needs your style and grace.

Clemency Chelsea Manning- President Obama’s game

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

President Obama Chess

As President Obama pawns are being knocked down after the loss of Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump he is trying to build a legacy with his leftist friends. Clemency to Chelsea Manning is another extraordinary example of these actions as he let out of prison not because he deserves it but because radical activist in the leftist community are pushing it.  His stabbing of our greatest ally Israel  and stopping freedom loving people from Cuba from gaining citizenship in our country, are two other examples.  He assumes by pleasing the most liberal wings in our country that they will control what the  history books will write about his legacy.  The sad truth is Obama is probably right, unless the Trump administration is given a chance to rewrite it. This will be a tower order to fill with the media the way it is. Yet they haven’t seen the Trumps newest sky scraper in D.C and the hands he brings to the D.C chess Table

Irrational Thoughts-How to Treat Loved One’s- PLEASE SHARE

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Health - No Comments

Anxiety Disorder Mental Health Stress

Dealing with a loved one who is having “irrational thoughts” is extremely difficult. I know the pain you can go through trying to find a way to explain to them how illogical their thoughts are.  As painful as it might be you can’t use logic on those who are beyond this concept.  After years of study and understanding here are a few things you can do that might help you and your loved one should an episode occur.

(1) CREATE A PLACEBO- Usually some tea’s with anti-anxiety homeopathic remedies as well as other tea bags can help the individual suffering by taking their mind off the irrational thought. Yes, it’s true you might have to twist the truth when telling them how this will help but once they believe it’s an extraordinary temporary cure.

(2) AGREE WITH THEM- As irrational and difficult as it is agree with their pain and suffering even if you can’t agree with their irrational thoughts. Comfort and tenderness helps more then we can imagine.

(3) CHANGE- Do anything else that could help divert their thoughts whether it be through entertainment or challenging mind games try to divert their attention.

(4) SPACE- It’s fine to go out and good for both of you to get some space from the individual, when it’s getting too hot. Always remember you forgot the Milk even if you have one in the refrigerator. You can’t help someone if you’re started to feel sick and tired.

(5) OUTSIDE HELP- When it gets too difficult, get the advise of a professional that has better knowledge on treating such individuals and can help you stay healthy as well.  If they appear to becoming a threat to themselves or others it’s time to call for more serious intervention.

Brilliant! Extraordinary! Life Changing!

This blog piece would have been all 3 but my computer decided it didn’t want to be on the internet. So now you’ll have to wait for that brilliant, extraordinary, life changing moment to come back in my brain and/or fingers. Until then what could have been or could be we may never know until we meet again or my computer decides to work. Oh well at least it was there or was it I can’t remember?
