Double-O-Seven

Mr Bond has become a little more violent with time.
I get the feeling we will no longer be seeing the James Bond of old.
The suave 007. Classy, Charismatic Mr Bond
The romantic Bond that gets women in trouble and then rescues them from the bad guy in the end.

Roger Moore is still my favorite and I miss Pierce Brosnan.

Good thing I have Shirley Frimpong Manso's movies to look forward to.

Bullying

Bullying today is what Sexual harrasment was in the 1990's.
It is being discussed in the open, and people are speaking up.
That is a good thing.

I found it interesting how the word "bully" has evolved (according to dictionary.com). From sweetheart to quarrelsome?

I Finally Got One Too

I get jealous when some people in a certain country get 3-day weekends practically every month. Well, it is so frequent, it sure seems like they get public holidays once a month.
I finally got a 3-day weekend at the beginning of the month and didn't know how to handle myself.
That short week sure is making this week feel long already.

Have a sweet nice and short week.

Baby Arrivals & "Stories"

Funny how people(I didn't say women) make so much effort to keep their first pregnancy a secret from extended family and friends.
A married friend of mine is pregnant but won't tell her Dad because he will let the whole world know. Her mom and siblings know but when baby comes they all will tell dad "we didn't know either".

I teased her and said I thought we were all good christians that don't lie.
LoL. Hard to live without a lie slipping out. I know I tried.
But there has got to be a way to live lie-free. Right?

Pediatric Gangstas

I am doing some work in the pediatrics department of a hospital and some of the kids coming through here are making me laugh.
Of course they are with their mothers.
Kids with tattos.
Looking like gangstas.
Acting all grown-up.

Meanwhile they are not old enough to see a grown-folks-doctor.
That right there is funny.

Not That Free

Freedom by its definition sounds like the best thing every living thing must have.
Anyone with any kind of freedom will be quick to recommend "you better get some too".
Yet the more freedom we have, the more restricted we are.

If you are reading this, you probably have a job. That's one of the signs of Progress we've bought into. However, you are not free to do with your day, whatever you choose.
We have freedom yet can't afford to do whatever we want.

I doubt that freedom is what we should be chasing in life.
I'd prefer Respect over Freedom anyday.
Respect my life. Respect my mind.
Do you put Freedom above everything?
