Thanks for being my blogging pals. If i say something screwy let me know. Life is too short to lose people to misunderstandings. Communication can solve a lot of issues before they become issues. Think about how many relationships have been sunk due to people saying something that was not understood in the right spirit. We all need to take a minute to listen and offer a chance for someone to clarify their words. Peace is still needed in our world and its our friendships where it can start first.
Amy Schumer is a star now and this movie that she wrote is further proof of that. This was our date night movie and it made us laugh because of how much it is relatable and real. Bill Hader was fabulous as a leading man and he will be seen on the silver screen many times in the future. For couples there were moments that made you laugh because you had been through them in real life. Singles can get something out of it because of the search for love that seems never ending. For families the struggle with the care of a parent is a theme we all identify with.
The movie was loaded with appearances of Saturday Night Live cast members past and present and where there is one there must be more. The pro athletes in the movie were really talented and helped make this movie even better. My friends if you can stand a little language and the naked butt of pro wrestler John Cena then you won’t be disappointed.
I forgot to wish everyone a happy Friday, so HAPPY FRIDAY!
This week seemed to go by fairly quickly except for a couple of days there that seemed to go on forever. I will be on the road on Saturday going to an alumni meeting at Hiwassee College and back home to chill for the evening. Sunday it’s church and I have to work for about 3 hours which is not bad and is giving me some overtime which is coming in handy.
Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope its fun. Of course there will be moments for blogging. I am confident there is plenty out there to inspire you to post about. Rock on good people!
Call me old fashioned but I believe in respecting authority. We all have people who are above us in some form whether it be a parent or a boss or elected officials. Those people have been charged with leadership and maintaining order in our families and society.
I am not saying one has to agree with those in authority but sometimes they see the bigger picture. Leadership involves serving those who are led. My philosophy is to do the thing that I am leading others in doing. Being bossy and ordering people around just doesn’t work today. Setting an example for everyone will say more than any words you can speak. Asking people works too. I also think that taking advantage of people is not leadership that is something different all together. Respecting authority must come with respecting people and vice versa.
A lot of bloggers write about narcissism. Admittedly I don’t know much about the issue other than it’s a issue where someone holds a higher view of themselves which causes other behavior issues. I can see there are people whose ego and self-worth can be a serious issue on many different levels. We see many people in the culture who are narcissists and those people need to put themselves on a level above the average person. We see people who have a difficulty relating to others because of their view of themselves.
It makes me wonder if those who blog about themselves or posts selfies are just wanting to share their lives or perhaps it is something more. Under the definition of what narcissism is I could be a narcissist or is there something different here? Those who write about the subject seem to have experiences that have deeply impacted their lives. It is a subject I honestly didn’t think much about until I started seeing it written about extensively on blogs I read.
We take a look in our culture and its pretty obvious who is stuck on themselves and they cannot see the condition and lives of others. Maybe those people need some course correction and to have their mirrors taken away. Life is too short to be stuck on ourselves. Maybe life experience from another person would help a narcissist come to terms with their behavior. There are some folks who enjoy being stuck on themselves. It’s all strange and curious. Once again I don’t know much. I just hope I don’t fit the definition.
