I Wonder When, Just Saying

I wonder when there will be a time where we love our neighbor as ourselves and stop listening to those who give that commandment lip service. Too many believers are listening to politicians and pundits who espouse paranoia and hate. I think its time to turn weapons into plowshares, to end constant war to live in peace. We should should think of arms of love instead of arms of destruction.

Status Update

I am off to the doctor this morning for my 3 month checkup and to have a problem with my hearing looked at as well as my right arm which I think I have pulled something. If it’s not one thing its another. Then I go into work. A busy day for me.

LA LA Land, The City of Stars

I am late to the party on this movie but its truly amazing. Fantastic dialogue, music and dancing. A modern musical made awesome. Emma Stone and Ryan Gossling are electric together. We need more meet-cute romantic flicks like this that are throwbacks to an earlier time. Movies should say something and this one does. It’s all about The City of Stars.

Pro Tip 071817

Inspire people to do their best. Don’t destroy their spirit in your desperation. Human beings need to know their value and their possibilities to do great things. Don’t use a wrecking ball in any situation.
