SNL’s “What still works” cracks my imagination opened e.g. Congresswoman Green casual ice-breaking: ” would you like to have a gun”, yes, a gun, not gum…( a scene came to mind, that of “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest , toward the end, when our native hero tried to be social ‘ wanna a juicy…

War end saw me re-situated at Penn State. Then, while in Grad School, after an educational film job, I read about Boat People. Their braving the odds at seas compelled me to “do” something. That something was a short detour from my Communication pursuit – “front-ending” my giving (time and energy as opposed to wealth…

Of the 35 places they said we most frequent (and now should be avoided for fear of contracting the virus), none listed our inner space. Like a character in Steven King’s The Shinning, we are all bored to tears, having self-isolated for the whole damn year. Paranoid, apprehension, compassion fatigue and self-deprecation (from survivor’s guilt…

Gate this, gate that e.g. Watergate, Pizzagate…now Capitol Gate. They like to break in to the Democratic National Headquarter. Not once, but twice. Each time, the perpetrator gets impeached. Nixon smells better in light of what has just happened (his “Plumbers” prosecuted and jailed, but at least no one died near Crystal City). Leaders stand…

It all started with anger turned inward. Angry at lost opportunities, at myself for making the wrong choices, taking the wrong turns and blaming the wrong people – anyone but myself. In short, self-implosion. I am addicted to winning, to be better than others, to never quit, to not lose. Getting pushed from behind, pulled…

It feels as though a thousand pounds have just been lifted from my chest as I hear fireworks and even gun shots (Texas) marking 2021 arrival. Like an approaching train that is finally here. The beginning of the beginning. The Big Reset. Well, I even re-started my laptop. And I shed some old skin and…

Of course I want to know what’s going on, where to find fish and where to avoid the lions. Thanks to those cave-paintings. It must have been painstaking to carve into rocks for instructions’ sakes. From oral tradition to print tradition (Silk-Road written contracts), from electronics communication to digital communication, we want to get out…

I should just leave this blog blank. That way, you, the reader can just “read-into” it, before a single line is penned. Such is the nature of pre-judging (a priori). All men are mortal alright. But it is also true, all men/women carry a set of pre-conceived notions and expectations about life and its potential.…

First the disease. Then the vaccine. Finally the rush to spend to line people up for a jab. Who are we going to enlist? Dead Presidents? X-Presidents? Or Presley (Elvis). It’s called “pair-association”. The “Like” factor i.e. if I like Lady Gaga, I am more likely to buy VOCE VIVA. Entertainment (pleasant) and Medicine (unpleasant)…

Whatever happened will soon be behind us. A long dark night!. Death tolls… sadness and sorrow. Urban and rural, college campuses and on-line courses. Vaccines are shipped. We got our proverbial email notice: “Help is on the way”. Good morning. To you, brother and sister. To those who are home-bound and bed-bound. Today is the…
