No Seriously..what the French


I have just spent the better part of the last two hours scrolling/flipping/tracking forward through several series. I have one question, “who the heaven writes this stuff and why the heck do they get paid?”

But also, “ what sort of retard actually enjoys these things and thinks they have anything worthwhile to ingest?” or do they just need something to keep their brains tuned awash in silly goo as they take in their daily dose of stupid.

Then why do people go to the US. That’s where everything goes to die. Most of their music is crap. So is their art. The architecture is punctuated with excess and absolute Picasso style abstractness that is good for nothing except perhaps as an icon for the proper targeting ICCBMs.

Sorry. I did not mean to questions why people go to us. We all know why they do….i think.

But I really meant why do all these show go to the US or come from there?

But I have scrolled through a couple of series and one that I started out liking was an American version of a british show “Sherlock” and it was named rather deviously “elementary”. It was great, the first few, okay the first three episodes then they just started dragging us through the usual American drama and same old same old clichéd tired worn out story lines and I was like…click…on to the next.

The came, “last Resort” which I will not bother with here except to say it was a military coup in paradise with the usual shadowy enemies manipulating government and we a small band of heroic honourable soldiers are here to save it. Yeah, I know, BORING. I intend to share this with other people at which point I shall promptly delete it afterwards.

“Newsroom” on the other hand does not seem so bad. The first episode is pretty explosive and its about…you guessed it…journalist…or newspeople. So far its funny. I like it. But that’s just the first episode. Ask me after I have watched a couple more episode.

P.S. this is a tirade and your usual programming shall resume shortly.

Proud to be a man...


I am tired of apologising for being a man. I am honestly tired of defending my sex before women who do more to damage their own standing in life and squander the years of good their forebears have brought them.
But this is not about women. So I shall conspicuously ignore them.

I recently stumbled upon a facebook page called Dads on Duty that shares pictures and storied of fathers around the world but mostly the USA who are defying all the stereotypes of men all over the net and more.
These pictures stir my heart; they encourage me on the journey I am taking towards a fuller manhood and maybe someday fatherhood. They tell me that the situation may be dire but I am not alone in the ideals that I espouse and that I have companions on this road that is many times lonely and filled with despair. I salute them. I guess its extra encouraging that most pics on this page are posed by mothers, sisters and wives. Granted a picture is not a full story but you will not deny the emotions that wells in your heart when you read the captions on each picture. Check it out here
Message from Holly Hermida-Lopez:My girls have the BEST DAD there is (part II)... Francis Lopez also does nails, hair and all the other things a little girl may want their Daddy to do for them... I may be a lucky woman but they have a one-in-a-million DAD...

The other thing that has caught my eye is the military and the sacrifices these men take for our safety and security. I have loved the military and on many occasions I almost joined the forces only for my mom’s instructions never to step in her house or even talk to her if I joined up.

I have watched countless movies and read many books and real life accounts plus articles on soldiers and why they do what they do. The closest I have come to that level of camaraderie is as part of a sports team. You become naturally a band of brothers where team work and the pride of the man next to you becomes bigger than winning, which dulls in comparison and is just the bonus of what you all went through on the pitch. I understand why grown men weep when something goes wrong with the team, cause that loss is a subtle judgement on the team and hence its members. It tells him that there is something wrong, lacking; that his brotherhood is ill and in need of help.

I respect these men, who take my rhetoric step further and take up arms to defend that which is sacred against enemies equally passionate or worse with no moral code and fight with absolute disregard for the “rules of war”.
. Members of The Old Guard have guarded the Tomb every second, of every day regardless of weather or holidays since April 6, 1948.

"This is the best job in the Army because each one of us has given our best to provide the Unknowns the proper dignity and respect they deserve..."


And so every day, I steel my face to the world, adorn my best soldier face and go out resolved to fight my battles to the bitter end and not flinch or Blanche at responsibility or shy away from standing up for the truth or defend the weak.

(All suggestions came from my facebook friends gracious outpouring to my predicament. And no their identities have not been hidden because if this stuff fails I am coming back to chew the hell out of them when I am zombified.)

Prossy Bnk 1. Avoid being the black guy. Black guy always dies first(currently too late so maybe bleach?)
2. Always keep one bullet on your person for the easy way out
3. Become an adroid/robot
4. Get amnesia. This will become handy as you recall some tight ninja skills as you discover you were tested with the virus and instead discovered superhuman powers
5. If all else fails, set off an atomic bomb

Prossy Bnk Ongom, they use smell and taste, apparently. They would smell you out, even if you looked like them

Anonimity


Do you remember that guy who did that thing that really changed lives and altered the way we lived? NO? How about that guy who made that thing that has really made work easier around here? Not him either. How about that guy who wrote that song/book that just inspired you when you are feeling down and blue? Well I am not sure who he is but I think they call him anonymous.

I would like to live this just as it is but I wonder if perhaps it shall not speak as it should. There are days I wonder what the sum of my life on earth will be? I wonder if I shall actually make it to the heights that people allude to. I don’t want to just have existed; I want to have lived a life that made a difference.

I don’t want to be forgotten but I am not sure I want to chase after those things that make one memorable or famous or have like a zillion hits on the internet. I guess what I am saying is that I want my deeds to live on just like that quote that has made the rounds but the writer still remains anonymous. That is the kind of “fame” that I want.

I would that my deeds, words and writings live longer than I do. That the memory of the point I made shall endure long after the memory of me has but that the idea lives on without the taint of me on it.
This brings another dimension to the things we do. Why do we do them? If they would never attribute them to us, and there was no thank you card or ball thrown in your honour or no money to be made or anointing to be had would we do it?

I wonder, “I would do it?”

Anonymous.
