Good time Charlie got the blues
Good time Chavez got the blues
No, He didn’t lose the election. He rigged that. He didn’t lose his power, or his macho — well, until he died.
Hugo Chavez died March 5, 2013 of cancer. He was 58 years old.
Good time Chavez gotta lose.
So what about Hugo Chavez.

Good time Charlie
got the blues…
Carlos Irwin Estévez at the moment is not singing the blues, for he is up now. Not down and out.
He has a new successful show. He plays a similar role: himself, a rascal, you got to love.
“Anger Management is Charlie Sheen doing what Charlie Sheen does—on-screen. It’s not artful, it’s not elegant … It will likely give his fans what they want. And if there are enough of them to trigger the order for the extra 90 episodes, then FX, Helford and everyone else will feel justified in taking another chance on the guy, despite what happened in the past.”
Forgotten is forgiven

It was three o’clock in morning, a cold winter day in New York City, he had left the Jazz club, and turned on the radio in his car.
He scanned the radio stations, listening. Then he heard it.
It was something new.
He knew natural talent when he heard it.
His ear was incomparable and he knew who and how to promote them.
From Billie Holiday to Bennie Goodman to Pete Seeger to Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen: generations of musicians. The Ultimate HIP.
But he looked like a square.

The summer of the movie nerd sadly is long gone my friends and so Cloud Atlas, Skyfall, Lincoln and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will have to suffice for the holiday season. Skyfall specifically is lookin pretty bossy though especially in this new trailer:
After 50 years of the franchise, Skyfall is already being called the ‘best Bond yet’. Daniel Craig is said to have truly stepped into his role as a more nitty-gritty James Bond, and Academy Award Winner Javier Bardem is said to shine in his role as unhinged arch-criminal Silva.
Something tells me he loses though. And Bond wins. Just a hunch. Why does Bond win all the time? Well I guess some people are just born that way. Bond seems to find out though, as we all do: that life’s greatest gift, can sometimes be a curse. Let’s take a look.

…there is no other shelter hereabout:
misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.
I will here shroud till the
dregs of the storm be past.
– Shakespeare
They couldn’t be stranger bedfellows.
They couldn’t be more different — in Temperament and upbringing.
But there they were. Bound together in tragedy and purpose, at this point in time.
They needed each other, and they wanted each other’s help.

She attempted to have the book censored or banned in the United States.
No, she wasn’t your socially conservative female.
Yes, in 1962 it was viewed as a scandalous book: Sex and the Single Girl advocated having sex before marriage, and gave advice on how to have an affair.
And she was married.

It was really an impossible task for anybody. Especially for Jack.
Except for him.
There he was in the small room — secret service keeping him there, he, not knowing what was happening.
Jack had essentially had cut him off from power for three years.
Powerless. A Fox on a Leash.
The first Vice President, had described it as “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”
But then one of Kennedy’s aides, came to him in that small hospital room, and said with some solemnity — “Mr President..“

“We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story. What is bravery, and what is bravado?”
“My answer then, and now, was that it is worth it.”
She did know the risk.
And she still took the risk.
Finally lost this time — and she was the story. The story was..

As they walked along the shore, two very competitive guys: both “filthy rich” by anyone’s standard, both had disrupted established giant corporations, and created their own companies, changing the world significantly.
“Larry, this is why it’s really important that I’m your friend. You don’t need any more money.”
Both were kind of inventors, but they were different in Temperament, and completely different goals in life. Larry is a Promoter Artisan and he keeps score by money: his interest was in winning. He loved the fact that he used IBM’s own research to beat them in database software, making himself fabulously wealthy.
For Steve, he was competitive in a completely different way. It wasn’t about the money or the winning. Rather, it was about his legacy: his company.
He hadn’t changed his passion. Long ago, he had seen a way to start making cool things, inventions, that were useful, that he wanted to use — like he had started several decades before with another friend, the Woz.

Latin intro – vert: to turn within
“My daughter is not an introvert,
— she’s pretty”An anonymous mother’s exclamation
One Babe had a problem. She was an introvert – she was what they call shy — but she wanted to be an actress.
This Babe was lucky. At 17, she encountered “the most unforgettable character I’ve ever met.” The rest is history: for he, Salvatore, her unforgettable character, was not “intro-verted” — in fact he was far more gregarious than shy, or, in Latinized German jargon, he was “extro-verted.” He had wiggled himself into the Los Angeles music scene; he had paid his dues as a gofer and backup singer for Phil Spector’s record company.
She had said: “For better or worse, I never plan my life. I focus on today. I love spontaneity. That is what has put me in some strange and wonderful places in my life.”
So how did this shy but ambitious teenager, a high school dropout, once one of Warren Beatty’s uncountable hook-ups, with no plans, become The Diva of Rock?
