* 1/2  Vita Organic Goji Chocolate is one of the worst premium chocolates I’ve had. The chocolate flavor has a flowery taste with too much of any emphasis on the Goji and not enough on producing a quality product.  Too insure that my mood (below) didn’t have an impact on the review I had a piece of Divine Dark Chocolate and thoroughly enjoyed that flavor

** 1/2 MY MOOD- Last night my stomach hurt and it was a difficult day at the office.  Upon my return home though everything fell back in order. There is a possibility that  there was some residual effects from my earlier experiences but not enough to truly effect my review.

A Just Critic

It may not be the art the critic is reviewing but the mood of the critic that determines the review.   Many times it’s hard to separate your personal emotions from the emotions that you feel when you’re experiencing a piece of art and therefore a review might be tainted by those feelings.  Furthermore affections or disdain for the artists might make your review subject to that bias as well.  Health conditions can also affect how someone see’s a particular piece of art for examine can you imagine reviewing a concert with a headache or sinuses.  Therefore for a reviewer to be perfectly honest they must take note of their emotional biases and tell those who would read such a review if there is any chance that this might affect their true feelings of this piece of art … (see my next blog)

Anger 1st!

When I was a waiter in camp we came back much later then our curfew but instead of feeling bad for what we did our leader told us to act angry for what had occurred. This anger through our counselor off guard and we got away without being punished.  Today many people use that technique when they appear late for work or even absent. We’ve also seen government officials yell “What difference does it make!” when they obviously know it makes a difference.  Hillary Clinton today appears indignant about even the thought of allowing her server to be independently inspected by a third party when many just want to find out the truth. Could this anger help to throw us off the real target of finding the truth?  Angry 1st is a technique that works in many cases because we are so confused by the reaction of the guilty party that we assume they must be innocent because normally people would feel contrite.  Therefore we must be careful to examine who uses Anger 1st and whether that anger is real or utilized to get us off their backs.

5 Minutes More..

Image result for 5 minutes more

If only I had taken 5 minutes more to listen, look, laugh & to think how much better would my words appear?  Would I have been more persuasive if  instead of putting up a defensive wall I opened that wall to listen to those with differing views and used their own thoughts and ideas in my argument? Would the world appeared more vibrant with colors if I had looked a bit deeper at a picture or listen to a song a few minutes longer?   Most importantly would my loved ones feel that love as I listened more carefully to their own words and thoughts and took 5 minutes more to laugh and enjoy time with them.

Dumb TV Shows

A CLASSIC DUMB SHOW

 

Let’s face it there are some shows geared to those that aren’t brain surgeon’s or don’t want to practicing surgery this night.  They have simple black & white characters with taped laughs and/or action that starts from the opening scene.   T.V Producers realize there is a demographics of dumb people or one’s who act that way when watching television. These shows are not  made  to make you think but to kill some time and keep you off the streets and your brain. Yes they are silly and stupid but there are times when it’s best to escape to “Gilligan’s Island” or any reality show (except for Shark Tank(s)).  To escape such feelings of guilt while watching these shows I recommend watching them upside down, seeing them with closed eyes, counting how many taped laughs occur and/or counting the amount of nice cars demolished,  doing your homework or a crossword puzzle while they occur. If all else fails pretend your sleep while watching because rest assured your brain will be getting some shut eye.

No Anger!

What would happen if you didn’t have the ability to angry? You probably wouldn’t act out in fit of anger that destroyed your life but would your motivation for change by stymied as well.  Would you work those long extra hours to see that things move forward or would you take an extra long coffee break in-between? It is said it’s best not to get to angry because that anger only boils up and erupts in destruction or makes it more difficult to move ahead but sometimes slight anger is the steam that moves the railroad of progress.  To conclude it’s best to have some anger in your heart to injustice but not to the point that it overwhelms and consumes yet just enough to help you keep moving ahead.

I realize that many people are tired of the news that effects others that could come to their corner they instead want to know what is occurring in those corners of culture.  It might not be my look I’m drawn too but here are the stories (below) that hit our cultural button.

(1) Leica Camera- continues to be successful with a retro looking camera that works with modern digital technology.

(2) Seinfeld episodes are the latest rerun that Hulu, Amazon.Com, & Yahoo appear to be paying big bucks for (up to$ 500,000 per episode).

(3) Sugar Prices have hit a six year low so watch how sugar is the new additive to make a comeback.

(4) Apes appear to be into fads as well as observed with the leaf in the ear look.

(5) Bassem Yousef the John Stewart of Egypt has moved to Boston and is looking to continue his artistic endeavors in the United States.

(6) Cities across America are offering unique food fads that the big cities haven’t kept up with.

(7) Dominoes’ Restaurant’s continue to be a growth stock as they keep up with new technology to reach expanded audiences and to continue to speed up services.

 

Best Billionaire

Image result for billionaire

I would be the best billionaire  or even multi-millionaire.  For I don’t desire a fancy car, jet, or house… well maybe one or two couldn’t hurt. Excuse me I have a have billionaire dollars remember.  My personal possessions wouldn’t be the driving force but the desire to create more wealth for those around me by creating and building new business opportunities for them as well as bringer innovation to the marketplace. As these individuals from all backgrounds, creeds and faiths earned higher incomes they would also have to perform within a certain morale code based on strict Jude0-Christian values.   I would also start charities where those that worked there would have incentives to see that positive changes continued to occur until their good works weren’t needed for society and then they would receive a huge bonus.  The wealth I gained as a billionaire would benefit me but far from the extent it would benefit society as a whole.

No Television

I sat looking at a blank screen eager to bring it to life but still staring at it’s darkness. Of course many days I couldn’t watch television because I worked to long or was traveling somewhere but never out of choice but yesterday was such a day.  I was busy writing and looking for missing items but there was time to get a little boob action maybe just a quick laugh or some action scene but no I let this drug take a day off from me.  It’s strange how this whole day evolved it wasn’t long ago (maybe for some) that I would wait all day for my favorite shows to go on and watch for hours this was the before DVR and even Beta were invented.   Do I feel better, I’m not sure I just feel different but it appears that I’ve survived and the world has as well maybe feeling different every once in awhile isn’t so bad after all.

Miracles!

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Faith, Philosophy - No Comments

MIRACLE    

   If after you prayed a miracle occurred would you link your personal prayer to the miracle? How would you know if your divine words changed G-D’s heart or whether someone’s else’s prayers or deeds were the reason this occurred.  Yet if your prayers were the reason G-D intervened and you didn’t take any notice of his answer would G-D intervene again or move on to someone else who noticed his deeds?  This is a extremely difficult thought to process because you want others to see the actions that G-D can play in their lives through prayer but you don’t want them to pray to you.   I believe the answer resides in balance for all though  G-D pays special attention to those who live their lives trying to serve him he still answers the prayers of all of us.  These individuals may acknowledge that their prayers have been answered but it’s just as likely that this occurred  because of the prayers of others then just the prayers of them. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?
