Happy Mother's Day

You cannot honestly believe you are not important to me. You are the most important part of my life. When my life was in turmoil, it was your love and support that helped guide me through. I tease you, yes, and I get exasperated sometimes at you, yes, but never doubt my love and thanks for you. It is true you and I are different, but one cannot learn from another when they are the same and we are here to learn. You are strong in every way I am weak and I have much to learn from you, just as I am strong in places you are weak and there is much you can learn from me. Parents and children are put together so that they both can grow; it is the ultimate relationship and the strongest bond there can be.

I get frustrated by you sometimes, but that is only because it is important to me what you think, you don't believe that, but it is true. You are one of the few people on this planet who I never want to disappoint. Never doubt my love and respect for you because you gave me my best traits and the parts of me loved by others are the parts of me I got from you. Happy Mother's Day and I love you.

Second Post to be Posted without a Title

Welcome to another Friday. I missed last Friday, but that was because it was a "Good Friday" and we were closed. Last week was a magical alignment of our faiths that doesn't happen very often, and makes this year a special year for religious harmony if we want it to be. Christian and Jewish biblical stories coincided to where Jews celebrated Passover on the same night Jesus had his last supper for Good Friday to be that Friday and Easter to be that Sunday. It is kind of like a spiritual reboot for the problems plaguing the world today and it is up to us to recognize it and make it happen.

Happy Weekend to you all.

Does Hannity Really Not Understand History?

I was just listening to Hannity and a liberal caller called in to argue the "tea party" and Hannity justified the tea party by asking if the caller understood how much the tax increase the founders were protesting when they did the first one, but that is a misrepresentation of what the Founding Fathers did and why.

The cry of "no taxation without representation" was not about paying taxes and it was not over tea taxes. The cry was about being held to a governmental system that did not allow you a voice. The cry was about paying into a system that was against your freedom, not about not wanting to pay taxes. The tea was dumped because, just like today, drinking tea is pretty much an English thing and tea is a good symbol for the British Empire.

Hannity, you either have no understanding of history and therefore should keep your mouth shut, or you are purposely distorting history for political reasons and therefore should keep your mouth shut. Lesson over.

Forgot to Title This

I think people peruse psychology as a profession so they always know where to find a good shrink; I really do. Most people in that profession I know or have to deal with tend to need to visit one of their peers really badly. I am dealing with one right now due to work and he is slowly driving me insane. Every conversation I have with him, it is as if we never spoke before and I have to go over everything again. He asks questions as if I did not just get done answering them and talks down to me as if he deserves respect without giving any. I call him "Dr" every time I deal with him, but he feels like he can call me "Brad" anytime he wishes. No more! I am "Mr. Schader" and will demand to be called as such or else I am going familiar on him and calling him by his first name! His age means nothing to me until he decides to start acting it. Anyone who starts a conversation off by saying to me "you have a lot of G-d damned nerve..." is not going to have a good conversation with me. I don't let my family or employers speak to me that way, so I will certainly not let a fat shrink talk to me like that.

Venting is nice. I doubt I will follow through with any of the above, but it feels damn good to say it.

A Little Sweeny with your Friday, Mr. Todd?

It is Friday and I am a little late, but considering I live in Miami, let’s just call it “on Cuban time” and leave it at that. I am feeling so much better today; as if weights have been lifted off my cliché. I feel lighter too, but that could be due to the ever famous “depression diet.” My painful jaw has moved up into my ear, so now I hear a click with most jaw movements, but it goes away with slight massage and I feel that means it is an improvement over deterioration: bothersome to eat somewhat though.

This weekend’s homework for you is to watch Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street starring Johnny Depp and tell me what you think of it. I watched it on my insane day and I just cannot decide if it was awesome or really bad and I was blinded by the style over substance. Be warned: it is a musical that is directed by Tim “Nightmare Before Christmas” Burton, so bizarre does not totally cover it, but it is a friendly kind of bizarre. More than once this movie made me think of Edward Scissorhands, which does not sound weird considering it also starred Depp and was directed by Burton, but the two of them have made some seven movies together and this is the first time I have thought of a previous collaboration between them to compare. That is either a good thing (a return to form) or a bad thing (running out of new ideas) and I go back and forth between the two. Tell me what you come up with.

Thank you and have a great weekend.
