Am I special?  There are over 8 billion people existing at this time what makes my heartbeat any more significant?  I can say it’s because the tribe I belong to feels we have a significant rode to redemptions but what if they have just a different path? Yet could it be the ancestors that literally gave it all in someway so that I can exist today that makes me “special”? Maybe it’s those who never had the chance to exist outside the womb or lived a moment or two after that should make me appreciate this beat a bit more? I just think I’m special because I was able in some way to impact you and in so that evolved around this world one special person at a time.

The world looks a whole lot different from this perspective.  No longer am I worried what others say I have or don’t but live in the moment. My perspective is open to all that is around me not closed to what others believe I should have based on my age and/or status in life.  1+1 can equal 2 but it’s possible that these clouds just added to one and as such that horse actually ate a hot dog. It’s a new journey I’ve just started walking and boy is it beautiful.

FOOTNOTE-  Ellen Langer has allowed me to start on this journey.

Living is a place for those that might have a few gray hairs but don’t want to feel like it. It is place that brings you back to those years of fun as you attend classes go on field trips and have responsibilities/work. As the years go by one doesn’t have to feel that way. Living is a center with mindfulness at it’s cure and a new beginning not a long drawn out ending.  Who knows this time around you might even date the prom queen?

I’m on my own Frieda McFadden challenge where I intend to read all her books before there is another new one in my Kindle account and/or she is on my podcast. The characters and mind-blowing twists and turns lead me to believe that I will win but one never knows how this could end up especially with Frieda. My challenge to Y-O-U is a bit more difficult start reading one of her books and stop reading them before your actually done.

I wonder if they already built an Ark for it never stopped. At this point I don’t even know if it was days or weeks as I never saw another bit of sunshine and days folded into another.  They say there is a rainbow at the end of the clouds but when will those clouds stop multiplying? Rain, rain go away and come back another day unless that day was actually my last and this is my new permanent reality six feet under?

As a writer and public speaker, I thought my last words could leave a deeper meaning then “please pass the mustard”.  Well, at least I said please before my sudden condition left me unable to speak or even write. I had so many more books and stories to tell and now I just want to be able to speak one word on my own. There is so much still occurring within me but now my words truly fall on deaf ears.  Nobody knows when the words will finally come to an end so trust me be careful what you say and what you leave unsaid.

A good film will take you into a world you would never go and still make you feel for the characters that move down this path. “Public Enemy” is able to do that with John Dillinger without lessoning the crimes he’s committed.  Yes, the emotional toll of his victims is truly never taken into account but the brutality of some of his acts are and yet you still have a certain amount of empathy for this character. This film even accomplishes this without flashbacks to the innocence of his youth. Yet most importantly to the viewer is this film is entertaining to the point of wanting to rediscover their ending even if you know the history in that sense has a certain Titanic vibe to it.

*** 1/2 – Enjoyable, entertaining and just a fun dangerous ride.

If you’re like me you’ve missed this event (below) that changes your day on a daily basis. So, here’s your chance to enjoy it today just in case your alarm clock didn’t go off. Tomorrow G-D willing you’ll see it in real time but if not just come back and watch the video.

Breakups are never good but maybe if one plays this song right after it occurs the blow will be with a pillow not a brick. The lyrics and tone of this song allow one to move on without feeling the hate that was left behind. Songs can help one with difficult moments in ones life and G-D willing this song can do just that for many who are suffering.

INT. POLICE STATION 

POLICE CHIEF-  I don’t think you’ll break him. He hasn’t said really a word since he’s been here. His lawyer though keeps asking for water and honestly this whole case stinks.

DETECTIVE SPADE-  Is Homes already in there.

POLICE CHIEF-  Yes.

DETECTIVE SPADE-  Then I’m confident will get a confession

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM- DAY

DETECTIVE SPADE-  We have the surveillance tape and the testimony. So you decide if you want to spend 30 years up the river or rather just confess and go for some leniency.

DETECTIVE HOLMES-  Listen, I know what you’ve been through and we just want to here your side of the story so.

DETECTIVE SPADE-   I think we’re wasting our time with this punk we might as well.

DETECTIVE HOLMES-  Ha, ha stop it!!

DETECTIVE SPADE-   Are you insane! This is a police station and your attacking my partner right here!! I should

DETECTIVE HOLMES –  It’s okay. I think we’re being a bit hard on the fellow. Isn’t he cute.

DETECTIVE SPADE-  Holmes what do you think you’re doing ? !!!

DETECTIVE HOLMES-   I’m breaking him out of this joint and taking him for a walk. Good dog.
