This is as simple as the “Pet Rock”

KEURIG

No I’m not talking about this wonderful machine but a simple dial they could add that would make them millions. It would enable Keurig to sell numerous more machines then ever before!! It’s simple dial that would enable the consumer to change the water temperature from hot to cold therefore allowing the consumer to get hot and cold drinks from the same machine. You could have hot coffee while Sally(she loves cold drinks) could have cold ice tea. When Keurig comes out with this wonderful invention remember you heard here first and ask them to send me a small check.

Should this be a sport?

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

Figure Skating

I know they are incredibly talented and I can’t imagine the hours they put into their performance but should figure skating be considered a sport. Figure skaters are judged by their performance like a dancer. not on their actual abilities. Most other sports do have judges that make decisions on if an athlete broke a rule not if they have performed well.   I also believe that if the common viewer can’t tell the difference between why someone wins and someone loses without commentary then this should be an artistic pursuit rather then a sport. This is why I believe that talented dancers are wonderful artists and can compete in artistic competitions but shouldn’t compete in athletic pursuits.  Of course if others enjoy it and consider it a sport then so be it. Therefore I will not mount any political campaign against figure skating I’ll probably just turn the channel to NASCAR. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE AND WHY?

no comment

There are so many people in life that go through life without commenting on what they see and/or absorb.  They can see the “finest movie” and eat at the “worst restaurant” but will keep their thoughts inside. It will take pliers to get their true thoughts on a subject and then it’s usually “it was okay”.  Many of these individuals are afraid to give their opinions because of negative past experiences, lack the confidence to state their thoughts, and/or afraid of starting a conflict. I believe some of the greatest opinions can come from such individuals because some of the greatest treasures are deeply hidden.  We must hear such precious voices by listening deeper, not passing judgment and facilitating conversation because you never where the brilliance will come from.

Super question?

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

Superman

I don’t know why my mind went into this direction, maybe it was the way the Seahawks flew over the Broncos but now I know why Superman always appeared as  cartune character in the movies …. doctors.  Superman is one of the few super heroes’ that is born living an ordinary live but that would mean he would go to a doctor for a check up. If he went to a Doctor for this check-up or any treatment they would see that his blood count would be a bit unusual. Doctors would also have trouble giving him his vaccines  because he has veins of steel. Can you imagine his dentist visit as a child who needs a cavity filled?  The other thing filled would be the dentist mouth with blood.   Here is how (below) this and other problems in this story would be solved.

(1) Lex Luther’s Father-Ax  (I like the name) would be having an affair with Superman’s mother.

(2) Ax would believe Superman was his child and support him financially and with other means.

(3)This was create great envy with Lex Luther as he would see Superman receiving his fathers love as well as see Superman continued to excel in school sports and girls.

(4) We would realize very early on that Ax knew the true identity of Superman and has been paying off doctors (or killing them) to keep his identity secret.

(5) Ax would also be a billionaire who develops new technological advances including glasses that change your appearance.

(6) Ax will appear to die and leave his wealth to Lex Luther unless he reveals the true identity of Superman. Every time Lex Luther comes close to revealing that identity bad things happen to him.

IT HURTS MY HEAD

I don’t have a clue how to read my Electrical or Water bill.  I graduated Cum Laude at Bryant University but still can’t through the first page of any of these bills. I feel like I need an engineering degree just to even come to some conclusion. After studying these bills for hours upon hours (sounds good) I came to some profound thoughts. Are you ready…. “They are way to high”.  I could either stop drinking water, stink, or become Amish (they don’t use electricity).  I guess I’ll just cut back on puppy bones don’t tell my puppy.

Ow that hurts!

IT’S A BIT LOWER

Recently because of an addition to my family another member had to go for surgery.  A surgery that I was told would prevent a certain type of Cancer in that member and insure that his legacy would end with him.  This member of my family was not that active and I felt we could use the new addition to our family so I agreed with the procedure. Yet every time I look at him I say to myself “Ow that hurts”.  For all the doctors recommendations and family pressure   I still feel bad that I went through with it.

If you haven’t figured it out by now I agreed to have one of my dog neutered.  I didn’t think he was going to meet anyone special because he is really just a house dog who loves my wife and she’s taken. Yet I feel he’s missing a part of himself, the part that bounces up and down. The dog shelter said if we didn’t agree to have our other dog neutered they wouldn’t give us Cinnamon our new dog. To make matters the “Dog Big Brother” would would check to see if we had the procedure.  We were saving a dogs life by taking this dog from being euthanized yet we had destroy another’s dog love life to get her.  Where is the dog justice!

I guess Justice isn’t for all dogs.

How I observe the Sabbath?

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

Sabbath Rest

How to observe that day of rest called the “Sabbath”? One of the most significant commandments in the Torah/Bible not only because it’s mentioned so many times but because it’s in the 10 Commandments. The Commandments that Hash-m spoke directly to the entire Jewish people if not the world. Yet still today there are many discussions on what you can and can’t do even among those that are traditional let alone those that aren’t.  I have my own way of observing this day. HOW DO YOU OBSERVE IT AND WHY?

(1) One day of the week we should take a break from our daily work. Traditional this occurs on Friday night and there is much written on why this should occur then. I follow this tradition today but in all truth have not followed this day of the week in the past.  I end my work day at 5:30PM and therefore begin my Sabbath at 5:30PM and end it at 5:30PM

(2) You shall not kindle a fire. I believe this is the act of lighting a fire in traditional means to keep warm. This differs from my traditional brothers and sisters who have prohibited the use of cars and turning on lights or electricity.

(3) You shall not pick up Manna.  I interrupt this to mean this is a day I should not go food shopping or out to eat.

(4) You shall stay in your own dwelling. I go to my Shul and stay around the house during the Sabbath or at least stay with my close family and friends.

(5) Finally I try to break away from thinking about business during this one day of the week.  This gives me time to slow down and think about my relationship with family, friends and most importantly Hash-m.

Marco Rubio-2016

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Political, Uncategorized - No Comments

 

I know it appears way to early to discuss the Presidential Election of 2016 but I believe that if we are stop the Hillary Express we must build up a strong candidate that has all the characteristics to win such a fight. I believe that candidate is Marco Rubio because he is a principled conservative with an image unlike many in leadership today. First let me say that we have plenty of qualified candidates of principal that could lead such a battle but I believe that Senator Rubio gives us our best chance to win this race without selling our soul.  Many fellow Conservatives disagree with Senator Rubio’s stand on the immigration bill but it was a principled stand based on a clear logic.  I also believe if you agree on 95% of the issues with someone then that should be sufficient.

First I will suggest why others aren’t as good as choice as Senator Rubio and then will explain why Rubio is the best choice.

(1) I love Rand Paul’s  libertarian streak but his isolationist policies will be difficult obstacle for him to overcome.

(2) Chris Christie has a way to communicate basic philosophical arguments to the common man but his liberal positions on key issues, his virulent attack on fellow Conservatives, and now traffic gate will make it difficult to get him the  nomination.

(3) Ted Cruz has shown character and strength in his fight against Obamacare but the media’s biased description of the shut down he led, will be extremely difficult for him to overcome.

_______________________________________________________

1. Marco Rubio- has the values and principles we generally agree on.

2. Senator Rubio has taken a strong stand on these key issues without looking like a bully.

3. Marco can communicate to the people ideas in a way that touch the soul and heart.

4. Senator Rubio’s  background and growth will inspire others.

5. Marco has a great look- Young- Family Man-

6. Senator Rubio has taken on the establishment to earn the Senate seat he occupies today

7. Marco Rubio is Hispanic and can communicate effectively to those of Hispanic backgrounds.

8. Senator Rubio has not forgotten his roots even when there is a disagreement. He’ll present his views on Fox News, Sean Hannaty, etc.

9. Can you imagine his fresh warm face against an angry Hillary Clinton.

Now for his Vice Presidential Nominee hint she’s a woman Governor.

Let’s demand reliability first

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

reliable

I don’t know about you but I’m getting tired of people that are unreliable.  I’m sick and tired of giving some people opportunities that they just squander. These individuals destroy my productivity, create problems with associates and lower the positive attitude I bring to each day. I’d rather hear the truth about your skills and ability from the start then hear the excuses and complaints later.

We need to work harder to  insure we value those who are reliable even if they lack other characteristics.  They may not be the most friendly but who truly needs a friendly “Dry Cleaner” what we need is our clothes cleaned.  It’s great if we can get both but from now on reliability is going to my key to deciding whether you get my business.  How about you?

I might once in awhile get suckered in by a good smile though.
