More Movie Fun

Posted on by Paul In The Buff

Check this out! Last September I got to be an extra in a Lifetime movie named Staged Killer –  these movies are either Merry Christmas or Murder Characters. There’s no in between. But even as an extra I got some quality face-time with the camera. Enough that I’m even in the trailer six times!  Two are pretty obvious. See if you can find the others.  Heck, let’s make it a contest! Find me, and list the times I’m on screen, I’ll figure out a cool prize for the person who gives me the right answer first!

Weigh-In Wednesday – Going to Heck

Posted on by Paul In The Buff

…in western cultures particularly, we have this perspective on monetary wealth, and prestige where we place those with money, and titles as being, in our minds, as more important. Hence, the wealthy can easily be forgiven in society for their transgressions. Catholic priests aren’t prosecuted for molesting children, because they hold some mystical prestige on our society’s mind, so they just get “relocated” while the church covers up  their transgressions. 

Friday Writing Challenge – For What It’s Worth

Posted on by Paul In The Buff

We set these ideals that we fail to achieve
Expecting of others what we won’t even give
The understanding, and forgiveness
For just being flawed humans
Wanting acceptance
But offering judgement
Demanding passion
But living within our walls
Holding tight to our comfort zones
And later regretting our inaction

Weigh-In Wednesday – Burnout Is So Lit

Posted on by Paul In The Buff

The inherent truth behind this statement is a spirit crushing reflection on our society. We praise those who work themselves to death. We don’t take our vacation days, or call-in sick, and have water-cooler conversations about how much PTO we’ve accumulated as if it were a badge of honor. We hand out awards for perfect attendance, but don’t recognize how showing up while sick isn’t productive, or may have had even more significant negative impacts to productivity because you shared what was making you ill. We brag about making it to work through that horrendous blizzard, scoff at those who played it safe, and stayed home, and then pity the ones who die in their car because they tried, and didn’t make it.

Weigh-In Wednesday – January 2, 2019

In all I see this as a disastrous change for the city. Those who live in the city, it doesn’t impact nearly as much as the population who doesn’t live in the city. With a city center of about 350,000 people, and a surrounding population closer to 700,000, it’s an imbalance that this policy doesn’t solve, or even address, but assured, a tremendous amount of the revenues generated by businesses in Buffalo come from suburban residents, and much of it after 5:00PM.

Weigh-In Wednesday – Closing Out 2018

Posted on by Paul In The Buff

The concept of that things will change based on a random location of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun seems kind of silly, doesn’t it? Aside from financial expectations created by the government, and banking institutions, what truly changes on January 1st? Not much. So don’t look for resolutions here. I’m going to continue on my personal growth paths, and do my best to keep myself in line with what I am trying to achieve.

Weigh-In Wednesday – Sporting Sporty Sports Edition

High jinks was a popular 18th century drinking game in Scotland. The game involved throwing a die, and if the caster got a bad score, they had to choose between drinking more alcohol or performing an undignified task.
