I have many friends who are Democrats and hate President Donald Trump. They hate him so much, they would vote for a rock rather then him and watch the country fall and burn. 🔥

I understand they hate him and his nonsensical narcissistic rhetoric. I find it funny. I see it coming. It doesn’t bother me.

When he was President nothing bad happened. He had to deal with a daily lynch mob while doing job as President of the United States. No wars, economy was great, everything was fine.

Sometimes you have to eat Broccoli 🥦 and Brussel Sprouts to stay healthy.

Yes, drinks with High Fructose Corn Syrup, junk food and fast food taste better to some but are really bad for you now and especially in the long haul.

Kamala Harris is part of the last four years of governance in the USA. She was in control of the Southern Border. She doesn’t have a clue.

Look at the Sanctuary Cities. Look at the illegals taking over neighborhoods by force. She wants to give them more money and housing.

Tim Walz, as governor of Minnesota, watched cities being taken over and burned to the ground by Antifa and BLM. He sat by and didn’t do a thing but smile.

He took away rights from parents to make medical decisions for their children.

He also signed into law the right for school districts to put menstruation products into boys bathroom if they wanted, starting at fourth grade.

These are who the DNC put forth.

The DNC stole the election in 2016 and 2020 from Bernie Sanders. He would have fucked up their money pipeline.

After that battle was won by cheating, the corrupt Bush Family joined with the other corrupt Republicans, the Clintons, Obamas and DNC to stop President Donald Trump.

Then after two years of saying President Joe Biden wasn’t senile and he was sharp as a tack, the DNC and Hollywood elite sic Lizard Eyes Nancy Pelosi on him, making him step down and hand the gig over to Kamala Harris without a single primary vote and against the voice of the majority of Democrats. This is the real definition of the destruction of democracy.

This is why, I’m voting for Donald J. Trump in November.

The Mockingbird song bellowed until it didn’t and the quietness rules higher than the branch he was sitting on

The wind blew throughout the sky pushing the Mockingbird to a new song

And the tortoise was still there.

This flower that blossomed

was unhappy that day

As it’s pedal fell to the ground

Screaming a sound of silence

The pedal floating down

Hell bound

No more

Because life wasn’t wasted.

As it will nourish in Neo-vintage.

On Friday afternoon I took my son to go and see, The Bikeriders. I haven’t been to the movies since the trash movie Cocaine Bear.

Nothing has excited me enough to pull out $20.00 – $25.00 plus dollars a ticket. Then add another $40.00 for snacks.

This is the first movie I’ve seen in 2024. As a Harley-Davidson rider, the trailers got me excited about what might be a great film.

It’s a narrative seen through the eyes of the biker Benny’s wife, Kathy (Jodie Comer) as she tells the story to a photo journalist named Danny (Mike Faust).

I would have preferred no narrative and use that time to get deeper into the lives of the bikers. I didn’t need her interpretation of the events.

It’s very choppy and you never really get to the meat of any of the lead characters. It’s lost.

Johnny, the Vandals creator and President, played by Tom Hardy should have been the main focus but he’s not, Kathy is. I wanted to see more scenes with him.

Benny (Austin Butler) is a young psychopath who we never get to know either. He never exuded bad ass. I found him to be flat and boring.

There are a cast of characters, Zipco (Michael Shannon) and Funny Sonny (Norman Reedus) to name two that I wanted to see more of. Great character acting.

The ending was crap.

The Bikeriders was entertaining and also disappointing. A great topic, during a time in history that was full of interesting stories, controversy and great music.

I walked out of the theatre unscathed and unsatisfied.

It didn’t make me think or feel anything when it was over.

Like a great steak cooked well done. It’s still steak but not how it should be eaten.

Recently, I watched the Andrew McCarthy documentary, Brats and wasn’t impressed. The trailer was more exciting.

Then I find out he wrote a book a few years ago about the same subject. For a person upset by the original article in the New York Magazine that created the term, “Brat Pack” in the mid eighties, he certainly has been using it in recent times to keep himself relevant.

The problem is he blames the article and term Brat Pack for his inability to get work as an actor post 1980’s rather than he was a one trick pony, alcoholic, pothead and not very good at the craft.

He says he was thrown out of NYU and talks about never going to class but rather preferred smoking weed and watching the Rockford Files. Did he ever go back to classes in his craft? He should be happy for the career he actually had.

In the original article the documentary is based, one of the New York–based actors in St. Elmo’s Fire, a co-star says of Andrew, “He plays all his roles with too much of the same intensity. I don’t think he’ll make it.” And that’s the only time Andrew McCarthy’s name is mentioned, toward the end.

Many others from the “Brat Pack”moniker still had flourishing careers post 1980’s and continue to. He should rejoice that he was included with actors as, Robert Downey Jr., Sean Penn, Tom Cruise, Matthew Broderick, Demi Moore and Nicolas Cage. But he doesn’t seem to and just comes off envious and needy.

I was a teenager when the “Brat Pack” films began and remember them fondly. I introduced my kids to them and still watch them today.

As a movie goer and fan of these films, I was expecting more from this documentary and was disappointed with it. It seemed to be more about him.

Maybe that is Andrew McCarthy’s problem. Humility isn’t easy for some.

The universe is not controlled by any preconceived theories or expectations made by humans.

It operates independently and is vast by any conception and can destroy us at a moment notice at anytime.

The notion of human power has no bearing on the universe.

Those that think they are king are merely fools to believe so.

Those who think they are Gods are even more delusional.

The universe operates according to its own laws and principles, indifferent to human constructs.

We have no conception of its rules and fundamentals.

Only that in which we believe we see through the murky looking glass made of shifting sand.

Do we understand the intricacies of the hazardous force of radiation on our survival?

The universe is a force created within our psyche. As we are just cogs.

Not a slight insight but that which we are told by our science.

We are given time to live, by the universe.

We know nothing.

Be grateful and say thank you.

If I say, close your eyes and picture a rose, what do you see?

The rose you conjure up isn’t going to look like the rose I imagine.

Whether it be color or size, long stem or short, thorny or not, the choice becomes yours.

This is your mind at work, creating a perspective personal to you.

We are not all the same.

A unique snowflake falling from the sky is like no other.

However, when it melts, it becomes a reflection of what it is.

A grain of sand is unique to itself.

However on a beach of sand, it blends in.

Cognitive richness adds depth and complexity to our personal experiences and interpretations.

This only applies when one realizes there is always much to learn and incorporates it into their daily lives by excepting their own transparency.

Be curious and open minded to others perspectives.

Something just might click and become fulfilling, leading to something incredibly satisfying.

As you move toward the light, many may try to pull you back into the darkness. Like a vine that wraps around its victim to pull it down and away from the light.

You must stay strong and keep growing upward. Breaking the grip of the vine.

Light is fuel. Soak it up.
