Celebrity Friend

I have met my touch of celebrities but not enough to call anyone a friend which begs the question how does one deal with a celebrity friend?  For if they treat them as if they are “a celebrity” instead of a friend then after awhile it might become quite awkward and even annoying as it relates to friendship. Yet if you treat your celebrity friend as if she/he’s just one of your buddies then they might seek a friendship elsewhere where it appears the world is their oyster. I guess having a celebrity friend can be more difficult then not having one which is the one excuse I like to give myself for not having any.

Jerry Lewis a comedic genius and a great philanthropist has left us with many laughs as well as a more charitable nation.  For those of the later generations that might have missed his laughs and charitable works thank G-D for youtube.com which will enable others to laugh and care for generations to come even if he has moved on to a better brighter stage.

Mellow Moment

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Uncategorized - No Comments

Chill Out 1 Chill Out

In today’s world environment how do you chill out when it’s time to cool down? With the world hyping you up it’s important to find a way to mellow down.  Here are a few techniques (below) that work with me.

(1) COMEDY- Listen to some slapstick comedy that makes everyone fall down with laughter.

(2) MUSIC- The sounds that calm a beast can actually even work on a type A person.

(3) LAKE- When people say why don’t you jump in a lake I surely will do and watch the water release all my tension.

(4) LONGER SHOWER- If the lake isn’t hot enough the shower will do.

(5) ADULT ACTIVITIES- Can take your mind off anything.

(6) MASSAGE- A great massage will force you to keep still while others have to work

(7) SHABBOS- Forcing my body and mind away from the work experiences helps mellow me enough to make it through another week of chaos.

Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon departure from the White House could spell deeper trouble for the President from his populist front or might be just the right move to strengthen it.  If he doesn’t replace with Bannon with some populist person or message his strongest coalition could be moving elsewhere unless…Mr. Bannon really believes he could build that coalition better from the outside then from the inside.  This coalition could mobilize forces to make sure the Presidency agenda gets the people power behind it or at least him.

Wayward Son

Glutton 3 drunken 1

One of the most difficult passages to read in the bible is what to do with a “wayward son”, for I’m one who hasn’t even picked up a rod let alone a stone.  To think that the bible calls upon one to have their son stoned (not the Colorado way) if both parents agree and bring it the higher authorities that their son is drunken and a glutton.  The key points are both parents and bringing this information to others.  I believe these strong terms are used because we must instead take strong actions to help our children when they are down and this must come from both parents in love as well,compassion and strength.  No parent should give up hope that things will change for the better if they really make a greater effort to seek to help their children even if it’s through “tough love”.  G-D uses such as direct harsh language to touch on our emotions so that we can never become so cold that our loved one is just a stone throw away from truly leaving us.

National Sister’s Day?

Sister's Day 2 Boy & Sister

“National Sister’s Day” was yesterday. really? There is a big to do about Mother’s, Father’s and even Donut Day day but where is the notice in advance for sister’s and their siblings. For I have the best sister in the world and I still didn’t receive information about this important date. I would have at least got her a card and probably a present or two but another “Sister’s Day” I didn’t even we were celebrating. The good news is my sister probably didn’t know as well. So maybe we should forget this day even exists an replace it with ‘National Brother’s Day” and see if she would remember.

WHEN … Child abuse

When we use the word “child abuse” we assume that the parent is abusing a child but what happens when it’s in the opposite path? Now a days there are many ways that children can be abusive to there parents but the parents are limited by societal “norms” and even laws that regulate what their response can be.  A parent should be “big enough” to take the abusive language that comes out of the mouth of their children but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t hurt.  There was a day and a time not so foregone when most children wouldn’t utter such words and or tone in front of parents and if such an occurrence would happen it would be met by a swift apology now a days that is truly rare.  Abuse can come from both sides and we must acknowledge that it can hurts as much as even a stick or stone.

The Chosen- Screenwriter’s Horror

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

Barry Jay must feel his script was stolen and literally ripped apart as he watched what they did with “The Chosen”.  For an interesting concept is produced with little acting talent and lines that come across as if spoken by mummies. .  Yet I continued to watch although Mr. Jay’s writing talent lead to a predictable end, maybe because I love a good horror film or any horror film with even a few different twists.  The concept that 6 must die within 6 days without you actually pulling the “trigger” is interesting enough but adding a biblical concept to it drew me in  Let us hope screenwriters “Barry Jay” next work is treated with more respect and doesn’t suffer such a deadening effect on the viewers.

**   The concept drew the stars and you can add a 1/2 if you’re easily scared.

Brave New Jersey- Independently Brilliant

Posted by Bruce - in arts and entertainment, Blog, Uncategorized - No Comments

Brave New Jersey Friar's Club

Brave New Jersey is a brilliant independent film that I was brave enough to watch at the world renowned Friar’s Club last night. The film was loads of fun with better character development then most of the “big studio” films and laughs that I broadcast as far as even New Jersey.  The world might have appeared to end for many of the characters in the film but it was alive for the audience throughout it’s 90 minute running time.  “Brave New Jersey” is a well made comedy/drama that allows the whole family to laugh together without car-tune characters  and that is brave in today’s film market.

Born Hated

It’s 1933 and your family doesn’t follow politics too much so why not name their new son after the new leader of the country Adolf of course with the last name Hitler you’re damaged for life. Yet being named Oscar … Simpson can’t help if you live in Nicole’s neighborhood. It’s hard to be born hated especially when it’s truly your parents fault. Imagine trying to get a break in Wall Street if your last name happens to be Madoff.  Of course you can change your name at a later date but if someone finds the original birth certificate forget about being elected … dog catcher. Sometimes being just another Smith isn’t as bad as it really could be.
