The Emotional Tail Of A Friend For 50 Years Having A Heart Attack

When I was younger, I found a friend that I knew was special. We got to know each other, and we had disagreements, and even got into a fistacoff once. But because we had that fight, we learned a lot about our friendship. We learned that we are 2 different individuals, because we had thoughts about the same subject, but understood that values doesn't only go one way. From that point on, we both said we are sorry, because when it comes down to it, a friendship is worth more, then anything else. We played in little league together for 4 years. I was the pitcher, and he was my catcher. It was something special, as he was my battery mait. He even catched a perfect game I threw, when I was 10 years old. We continued our friendship , and ende up working at the same place in Brooklyn, at a local delicatesson. We had so much fun, as at the end of the night, when we stocked out the pickles, we just was zany, as we  had pickle fights, and throwing at each other. We made enough money doing this for 2 years, when we both decided to visit Florida for the first time. I was 17 and he was 16. I forgot to tell you, that his birthday is the same day as mine. One year  later, we decided for the summer, to be Camp Counselors at a sleep away camp upstate New York. We helped children have a wonderful summer, and we were both appreciated for our work, and to show all a friendship, that is truely special. That summer, my best friend met a woman called Leslie, and I kept our friendship close as possible, as he got involved with her, and got married seven years later at the age of 25. I got involved with a few other friends I met from the camp, and sadly my best friend and I parted ways for 2 years. We met one day at a bowling alley, and I told him I am sorry for feeling jealous of his marriage. He also told me he was sorry, as he was as much to blame for our friendship not being close,during those 2 years apart. We rekindled our friendship from that point forward, and never looked back. I ended up getting married to my first wife a few years later, and he was my best man. I moved to Florida in 1980, and stayed married for 18 years, until my values as a husband was not there any more. I wasen't happy as my first wife didn't care about being a mother to my first child called Melanie. Today this brilliant girl, lives in Washington DC, as the copywriter to Dow Jones.. Well it was a bitter divorce, as my first wife was to negative, and she wanted to commit suicide, and leave her own daughter. She said I am not a mother. Well she is still alive, but we don't talk about our daughter. Moving along, as we had visits from my best friend Harvey every few years, and we went to Disney World  a few times together in the ages. We talk baseball, and hockey over the phone every few weeks, and he came down to Florida and met my new wife Elizabeth. This may, my new marriage is going on 15 years, and I understood at that point, what a true friend meant. We are still friends going on our 51st year, and this friendship, despite all conditions, is staying as close, as any friendship could be.

One week ago, I got a call from Harvey's wife, and told me that Harvey had a heart attack, and is in ICU. When I heard this devastating news, I cried for hours, as part of me was being torn away from my heart. The next day, I took a flight, despite not having funds, and went to the airport to plead with them to let me go. Out of the blue, I got a call from my friends brother Bruce. He knew my situation was very bad, not only because of my Parkinson Disease I have since 2007, but because of my heart and soul meant so much for his brother, on our friendship, and th desire to always be there for each other, regardless of all obstacles that crossed our path. I thanked him so much, and he said what I did for you, was for a friendship that was made by God, and we don't want to take something away from either of us. He picked me up at the airport and drove me right to the hospital, and when I saw Harvey, it was hard, as I started crying again, and had to step out of the room. His Mother came over to me to comfort me, as she is as important to us, as she kept us together as well. He was in a Coma, which he was for 3 days. When all of a sudden, he heard my voice, and he woke up crying, as I was there for him, in time of need. Everyone was happy, and Leslie came over to me to hug me, because even his doctor told me, that it was a miracle, as thy didn't know if he was going to survive. I went down to my knees, and cried and prayed to god to thank him, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing him to wake up. He was coherent, and we hugged each other for a few minutes, and we both looked up at the same moment, to thank God once again, for allowing our dearest friendship to go on. It was 3 days later, that I had to go back home to Florida

, and we knew we felt in our heart, that our lifes and friendship together will go on.I thanked his brother and mother and his wife, for llowing me to come, and allowed me to sleep somewhere, and fed me as well.   The miracle of my friendship, will be deep in my soul, because God had let me live and for me to be where I had to be, when it was more important, then anything in my life, at the very deepest time in my life.

The Art of Seduction

Don Juan is recognized as one of the greatest lovers of all time. In all probability his love life centered on his charm and ability to seduce the women he desired. It was an act of tremendous finesse bordering on art itself and certainly is something which a lot many men would like to emulate. Seduction of women has been going on from time immemorial. It is something that has never been defined and is not something tangible. In fact it has a lot to do with the mind and emotion. A man would like to only seduce a woman who he likes or fancies. In that respect it is a part of sex and desire as well. Thus as desire has no bounds, seduction also has no set rules. Bear in mind that seduction is not gender oriented and a woman may also seduce the man she likes. However in case you do desire a woman and you know her well, it will be a good idea to get to know the background of the person concerned. A little home work would hold you in good stead. Thus do a little snooping and get to know her place of stay/residence, the members of her family as well as her routine of work and leisure. A very important point is getting a whiff of her interests and likings. If possible in conversations try and get to something intangible like her dreams and fantasies. Once you have the necessary details about the object of your desire, you can now proceed to the next step. Remember that coercion or other forms like spiked drinks and food need to be completely eschewed. The entrance of such elements will make the act criminal and can invite a charge of rape. More over it is not something a genuine lover will relish. Follow up by talking regularly to the woman. Make it a point to gift chocolates and flowers. Learn what she likes and offer to be her escort.Take her to a restaurent or for shopping. In short you must build up trust. Once you have built up trust the next step will flow naturally. The woman may even accompany you to your apartment or invite you to hers. Above all tell her that you love her. It should be the beginning of a romance. That is one ingredient that is essential to move forward. Seduction is an art that deserves a lot of finesse and tact. It is important that one keeps the susceptibilities of the woman or man in mind. Do not force any thing and let the act flow like the river Ganges, slowly and surely in a tranquil manner. Read more: http://www.bukisa.com/articles/344663_the-art-of-seduction#ixzz2vSiG48rv

Review of Mickey Spillane's Novel "I the Jury"

It’s 2011 and I went into  my  old college library and asked the librarian and old friend whether I could get Mickey Spillane’s book ‘I the Jury’.  It was my way of paying tribute to a man who set up the genre of the action novel.He rummaged and brought me an old dog-eared book. It was a 1953 edition and I signed for the book and took it home.

I read it in one sitting and mind you I was reading the book after almost 3 decades. I am convinced this book is the best Mickey Spillane ever wrote. It’s a pity he died in 2006 and not much was heard about him even at that time.

Mickey Spillane was a master of the art of creating a pot pourie of sex, love, revenge, murder and violence. He created a character in Mike Hammer, who in real terms was a sledge and a hammer himself. For the reader let me recap the story. It’s a simple tale of a man going out to avenge the death of his close buddy Jack who has been brutally murdered. Incidentally Jack had lost his arm in trying to save Mike Hammer during the Pacific war against the Japs. So Mike is all out for revenge and he starts from the last party Jack had attended. He hunts to death each of the attendees of that party with fiendish glee.

The killer is also hunting Mike and it has all the makings of a thriller par excellence. This novel is Mickey’s forte as he creates a heady cocktail of revenge and sex. We talk of Harold Robins now, but man you can’t beat Mickey Spillane. Can you imagine the book sold 20 million copies and created a character in Mike Hammer, who is hard as nails and loves with a macho’s gusto?

I the Jury is I feel the best book Mickey wrote. It was also made into a movie and millions read this book. The prose is simple and the language earthy. Yes, there is very little finesse in it and the critics will pan him for it, but in I the jury he creates a thrilling tale and one can agree with Mike Hammer that crime does not pay.  How many know that it was the first bookwith the character Mike Hammer .

The book is now out of print and that is sad. Maybe people have outgrown the brand of sex and violence as brought out by Mickey. But who can forget that he was the man who launched a new era in the field of fiction. I think the best tribute to Mickey is that he was a writer who brought the period of guns, molls and crime so prevalent in America after the war alive for the reader. He mirrored society and created a man in Mike Hammer who I don’t think will die away. Not in the genre of Sherlock Holmes, but something more earthy, a hood who could tame a bigger hood.

English girl in Hindi Cinema: A New Beginning

Indian cinema is going global. Strange things are happening that have never happened before. Indian cinema never had heroines entering the screen from England and the USA, but that is happening now and the latest girl to make an entry in the world of Tamil and Hindi cinema is Amy Jackson. Here is a pure white blooded English girl, wearing Indian dresses and making it good in the world of Indian cinema.

Amy Louise Jackson was born in 1990 in the Isle of Man in England. Her father was working with the BBC. She won the ‘Teen Princess’ award in 2008 and came in the lime light. Immediately she landed a modeling contract for $20,000 that took her to the USA. She narrowly missed getting the Miss England award after being crowned Miss Liverpool.

In 2009, some Indian film producers saw her on a model website and invited her for a screen test. She passed the test and got the role of British Governor’s daughter in the Tamil film Madrasapattinam(1947: A Love Story), opposite actor Arya. The film was released in 2010 and was a commercial success. This prompted the producers to cast hr in Mumbai Hindi film. She has now debuted in the Hindi film Ek Deewana tha opposite Prateik, son of actress Smita Patil and Raj Babbar. In this film she plays a Malyali Christian and is a remake of a Tamil film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. The film appears to be a commercial success. Credit must go to producer Gautham Menon who cast her in this role

Amy Jackson is perhaps one of the first British girls to make it good in Hindi cinema after a success in Tamil films. She is also well educated and attended Edwards College. She has 2 Tamil films on the sets.

Amy Jackson in the Mumbai film carries herself with aplomb and looks fetching in the sari. She has some lovely love scenes with Prateik in the film, which are an aesthetic delight

The globalization of Hindi cinema is complete with the coming of a British girl in Indian Cinema. This is certainly a challenge to Indian girls to make it good in Hollywood. A beginning is made by Malika Sherawat and Frieda Pinto

The Pros and Cons of a War with Iran

The Scene around Iran

Some time back the U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta made a significant observation. He stated that Iran was close to acquiring nuclear weapons. Obviously Leon Panetta is a knowledgeable person and knows what he is talking about. The stage is thus set for a conflict. Western and Middle East intelligence experts suspect that Iran needs these Nuclear weapons for the furtherance of the Iranian brand of Islam and domination in its region. The Iranian aims possibly are

1) Destroy the state of Israel;

2) Spread the Iranian form of Islam (Shia) all over the Middle East

3) Destroy the USA which is considered as the great Satan and establish Iran’s leadership in the Middle East and the rest of the world.

It was anticipated that the main target of Iran, the state of Israel would launch a pre-emptive strike to stop Iran from achieving nuclear status. The USA was to provide the logistics for the operation and also keep the Strait of Hormuz navigable. Iran’s plan to choke to Strait of Hormuz that transports some 15 million barrels of oil everyday was to be negated by the US Navy. But this has not happened so far and as such one of the cardinals Principle of war, decisive and early action is not followed.

There are many writers who have been talking of a war with Iran and its eventual defeat as a biblical prophecy. This is arrant nonsense and the fact is that the conflict with Iran will not be decided by any Biblical prophecy. Israel on its own will not be able to subdue Iran. However efficient the Israel defense forces are, the numbers are heavily stacked against them. In addition Israel is in hostile lands with not a single friend to rely on in the Middle East. Egypt and Turkey have also forsaken Israel. Thus Israel has to bank on Uncle Sam and the NATO to subdue Iran. Here is the catch, will the USA intervene? Obama is a prudent man, who had opposed the Iraq war. Will he get into the war zone as the drum beats get louder?

There is also the question of Russia. But I suspect the Russians are not too happy with a nuclear armed Iran and may just shut their eyes for a short duration. The war with Iran has to be swift. Speed is of essence and no time can be lost. The Principles of Clausewitz must be followed in case victory is to be achieved over Iran.

What is the purpose of a Selfie unless someone has to be vain about REALITY and only show there side and not other sides

Ever since I started writing on Bubblews, I have never been afraid of speaking my mind, when it is relevant, to a post.  I shoot from the hip,and go forward,because I am never going to not go over the line,when it is important to all of us,as life is a true identity on a  belief, that means more then the post. An earlier post was asked about Selfies, and do you like to take selfies. Well maybe I am from old school thinking, but I also believe in life, to respect, and not show ones pride, is better then another human being. The respect of oneself to me falls by the waist side, as we are never to put our self above another living being. Society is about being committed to joining our cultures, our beliefs, and our values. So when somebody needs to show a selfie, it means to be, that someone has to be above the rest. We are a melting pot across the world, to join our approach to humanity. One has to approach a meaning, that is objective always. Now I am not against SELFIES,but what I am, is against not being objective, as a writer must always be objective, or they should never write, because it shows a one way path. So to regards to selfies and a post, it should be  looked up to be objective with both side of the fences, and not only a one way tract. That is the true meaning of a post.

Whats the difference between a one sided post and a two sided post

Let me start out by saying that there is a big difference between a one sided post and a two sided post. When somebody posts an article online,like Bubblews, most of the time it is a one sided post. Lets think about this first. What does it mean only a one sided post? The answer is that the person who is putting it online, is telling us his side of the post, and what it means to him, on the details that he wants to show relevance on.  Now a two sided post, is a post, when someone wants to show relevance on both sides,so that an understanding can be more relevant. You see, when a writer, and I mean a writer like me,tells a story to have you understand the perspective on the person it involves the story is about, and the objective to that side. A true writer to me, and it should even be more clearly to all on  Bubblews, is why write a story, showing one side only. The story is being discounted, with less material that should be in the story. To be an OBJECTIVE writer, you have to show your audience what is meant from the persons perspective on who they are talking about, and your side in regards why their is a difference. So my question to all, is how can a story be either factorial, or show true meaning, if you don't express both sides. This is a true objective post, and to be a writer with value, you have to have your audience, an understanding, that to come to an educated decision, you always !!!! have to show both sides. This is the point, of why there is a difference, and I hope by what I expressed here, in this post,makes it clearer, to help you write a better article for all.
