1- I haven't drank in awhile and my 2nd glass of wine I am already feeling it and it's magical 😁 Highly recommend laying off for a while and then the whole wow of it returns and it's better than I remember it. 2- While watching Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) realized a couple things. Keri Russell is just as stunning as I remember her from 8 Days a Week (1997). As well as the fear and unwillingness to accept another culture (people or apes) leads to all of the death and destruction. Also it's very easy to persuade people to what you want them to believe. More on 2a- Keri Russell is this stunning neighbor to the kid next door. Let me tell you, that was my dream girl growing up. It is really a very entertaining movie if you like the over obvious comedy and I recommend watching it. Most people I talk to haven't ever heard of it and I think it is an amazing movie. Check it out! More on 2b - This is an issue we are still dealing with in today's culture and time. Why are so many afraid of others because they are different? Isn't that what we all strive for as an individual is to be our own person and differentiate ourselves from the crowd in some way? I mean c'mon, why else is that cute blonde going to pick you over the other guys out there? If you offer something unique it is more than likely, if not too strange, to be a deciding factor. This goes for girls and guys, we are all looking for someone with some unique things that we find appealing. Back to the discussion at hand... Why do people fear the different? I have no idea, but find it intriguing and interesting to see why people fear others. Any thoughts let me know! More on 2c - Why are people, in large masses, so easily manipulated to a certain action or idea? As individuals I find it often times hard to change someone's idea or position on something when talking to them 1 on 1. But if you watch/listen to anything in the news somehow people reach these masses of people to get them to follow their ideas or beliefs or to take their actions. Why are people in large numbers so dumb? For instance... If I asked you to go out onto a highway to stop traffic in support of some idea I have every single person I know would say that's ridiculous. Even strangers if I asked them 1 by 1 would never agree. It's dumb to walk out to stop traffic on a highway. Some how these politicians and other groups get people to do it all the time. All I want to know is what does that accomplish??? All you have done is make everyone you are stopping extremely irritated and pissed off. Anytime I see these things, even if I agree in principle of what their cause is, I can't support and find them to be competent useless as a group. All you did was keep all of here other people from getting to work or the hospital or home or wherever they were going. You will probably get on the news but all that SHOULD DO is show everyone watching the news what a dumb group of people that is. I don't understand how people GAIN support from these actions. Where are all my logical and common sense people at????

Day 0 - A New Chapter

After an up and down last couple years my 1st lady-love of California and I have ended it. No last chances, one more times, what ifs, when this, when that, if this or if that's. Done. Done. As much as I have dreaded this day and hoped it would never come, today it has. I was sad this morning, thinking of all the happy memories and how certain things would never happen again. No more sky diving weekends, road trips to Mexico, weekend trips to another city, beach days, pool lounges with booze, home cooked meals, or anything else that is escaping my brain at the moment. Even though we were both in agreement that it was not working and neither of us were getting what we wanted out of the relationship; or that our lives within our relationship were not where we really wanted it is still a heartbreaking realization. Someone you thought you could spend the rest of your life with is suddenly now someone that will be a stranger in a couple months. It can be very overwhelming when all of those thoughts flood your brain. Now as it sits later in the day and I did what anyone does when they are heartbroken... Absolutely as little as possible and ate as much unhealthy food as I could stomach... I am hopeful of a brighter tomorrow. So I decided today is Day 0. Today is the end of one chapter and the start of another all in one. When reading a book a new chapter always has the promise of new excitement and new wonders to come around. The same with life is true, the day is always darkest before the dawn so tomorrow is the start of a new sunrise. Looking forward to sharing new adventures and excitement with you! -Ryan 👍🏻☀️
