Kids Corner : Halloween Sweetness

by Patricia Britt


This is a night of ghosts, goblins, grimlins, and things that go bump in the night.



This is a week of keeping children's tender hearts safe while they trick, or treat at downtown business sponsored events, and the brisk streets with crunchy orange, tan, and brown autumn leaves.



Thirty years ago kids could trick or treat on Halloween by themselves without parents watchful eyes bringing home pillow cases full of sweet goodies like tootsie rolls, and sweet tarts. Even then it was the dawn of twisted malicious minds putting razor blades, and pins in candy for innocents to consume.



Now with the watchful eyes of police, and parents, kids can still have fun playing dress up as angels, fairies, warlocks, and superheroes one spooky week each year.


Song

Double Dutch Bus by Frankie Smith

Quotes

Ignacio Estrada If a child can't learn the way we teach,

Poem 

A Child's Light

Children are the light of the world.
Kids make you smile,
And act so wild.
From ga ga goo goo,
To I love you.

Monopoly,
Go Fish,
Operation,
And Play Doe,
Baseballs,
Basketballs, 
Soccer, 
Checkers,
Tennis,
Kites,
Merry go rounds,
Swings & Things.

Roller Skating,
Dancing,
Music, 
Cards,
Boomerangs, 
Bikes, 
Puppies, 
Merry Go Rounds,
And Frizbees in the park.

Sing along songs,
Campfires,
Beaches,
Hula Hoops,
And Summer fun,
Are a kids arena,
In a kids dream,
To be sure,
To keep you forever young.

Reading until the sun goes down.
A child's light makes you feel shiny,
And new through,
And through.

Modern Women : The Marilyn Complex

by Patricia Britt

Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Carmen De Lavallade, Audrey Hepburn, Gladys Knight, Barbara McNair, Demi Moore, Beverly Johnson, Iman,  Tia Carrere, Halle Berry, Jennifer Hudson, Tyra Banks, Angela Bassett, Sophia Loren, Sheila E, Mel B, Leona Lewis, and the Kardashian girls are testaments to brunette power, however it's been said blondes have more fun. Now that changing the color of your hair from, green to blue to honey blonde, or platinum is at every woman's command like changing your shoes ... Women of today are not confined by any barriers beyond the equality of the dollar, and their quintessential strength. Income equality is still out of reach for the majority of women, although it's getting better, and better with time.

Most modern female entertainers have mastered the soft feminity of Marilyn Monroe in a cat suit, packed with Charo's "Gucci Gucci" excitement. Translating to a percentage of every day women who compete as a given necessity in this century for men's attention, and a chance at the female Superbowl ring. Entertainers know the easiest way to launch a bank account is by being a blonde boom boom glitter girl, with razzamatazz for days. With the advent of Bravo television reality shows about self absorbed women, and spin offs across network platforms have some everyday women thinking, not to be outdone are adopting a flashy strategy to keep their man from getting lost in various platforms of virtual reality, and taking them for granted in the real world, or keeping their distance for fear of a selfish vs selfless woman to settle down with.

Some women like men, are saying whatever it takes to get to the next level of love, or business is a practical step whether it is a conscious, or sub conscious decision in many cases with their children in mind. Women are jewels to be cherished whether quiet, or bold.

If a woman walks down the street in a bikini she's still in a protected class, and no means no. She's similar in that case to young black men with saggy pants. They think they're being fashionable, so they follow the crowd, and wear what suits them, even if it means McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell, Subway, or Burger King might be the only place willing to hire them. We live in times when a woman can dress any way she pleases, whether it's like an entertainer on stage, uniquely, or like Dianne Keaton in the public sphere, and it's all acceptable. Women's opinions are on many levels about femininity, style, and assertiveness, some women keep the goodies hidden, and others display them 24/7, just weekends, or every now, and then. It's all a matter of choice up to the individual woman, based on her confidence level, sensitivity level, and profession.

Yesterdays songs were filled with supreme love, and angst. Today's tracks are telling each other what we won't accept as women, while men are telling us what they desire with a dash of romance still around.

Perhaps 2016 will be the year of love creating the bronze age of hollywood.

Quote by Mae West: When I'm good I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

Movie ~ The Statistical Price of Fame


by Patricia Britt

Will Smith. Mr. Summertime Independence Day is so wise. He chose a good woman to be by his side, built a family, and an empire. Concussion is due out Christmas. Lets support this Academy award contenderhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt3322364/ by supporting him you support a loving family. Muhammad Ali's the only guy who's got anything on the Fresh Prince's lessons in perseverance.
With this critical time in sports rules modification you will undoubtedly think about the price star athletes like Tony Dorsett paid, even though he got paid tremendous amounts of money to be the best.
As a woman I get more excited to see those guys run for yards than getting tackled. Ouch! Google Tony Dorsett's 99 yard touchdown to see the glory days in Internet infinity. Unnecessary roughness will inevitably be a thing of the past. I have to believe this movie being made at this time is in part a tribute to the Tony Dorsett's of the world who gave us many Sundays of thrilling smiles.
Give the gift that keeps on giving dignity, with a sense of humour is the essence of the Fresh Prince legacy. He's won lucky guy. If getting into rap was a lark, it worked out well.

2015 CNN Democratic Debate

by Patricia Britt


The 2015 Democratic debate on CNN as compared with the Republican debate.

The majority of the second Republican debate was about war, and rumours of war.

The Democratic debate was about people.

Bernie Sanders showed he was a gentleman defending Hillary Clinton on the email controversy, and let the voters know the Republican campaign superpacs are funded by the fossil fuel industry, therefore clean air, and climate change is not a Republican priority. Look out for some "Superstorms" on the horizon if there's a party change.

Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, and Bernie Sanders last two minutes was the best summation of what they stand for.
