Harold and Maude
Harold and Maude, directed by Hal Ashby, is a grim yet mildly humorous black comedy about a suicidal young man, Harold (Bud Cort) who seems to suffer the ill effects of a schizoid personality disorder. Harold's flat, lifeless, emotionless demeanor is offset by his dark obsession with death, his bizarre, faked "suicides" (it is never quite explained how he manages to do this, but we must assume since he continually "kills himself" in front of his mother, who maintains a blase attitude about it, that he is either daydreaming or using some special effects props), and the fact that he attends funerals for pleasure. Outwardly, he's an attractive cyborg.

Omar's Diary to 31st October 2022
Words would fail me if I tried to tell you how absolutely thrilled I was to have won first prize with this photograph in a local village show. The brief in the show schedule was for a "Woodland Glade". I just wonder how many of the demographic of Burley village defined as "blue rinses" or "silver seniors" noticed the cheeky activity in the lower right-hand corner of the shot?

What exactly is a limited company?
A limited company is a legal business structure that is formed and registered with Companies House, the Registrar of Companies in the United Kingdom. When a business is formed through Companies House, it legally becomes an individual. As a result, because it is accountable for its own activities, finances, and responsibilities, a limited corporation is a wholly independent individual from its owners.

Cromulent Comparisons
The unacceptable cromulent tactics of manipulative meaningless conversation pieces are the building blocks to unprovoked tension and drama; which could very easily be useful and beneficial to everyone if proper communication was attempted.

Socialism and Capitalism VS Concentrated Wealth/Power
Voters on the liberal side of the aisle genuinely despise the fact that our so-called free market, capitalist economy has resulted in so much wealth/power being concentrated in the hands of so few at the expense of so many. They contend that you can’t have a political democracy when 1% of the population owns and controls the Senate, the House, the Presidency, State Legislatures, as well as the mainstream media, whether on the left or the right. That’s not a democracy. It’s an oligarchy, a plutocracy, a government of the people, by the wealthy and for the wealthy!

Greetings, fellow Rogues. Time for another “diary” entry. I had the pleasure of turning on my laptop after a very interesting and somewhat challenging week. I was feeling a bit down lately.

Things to do Before You Die - part 2
11- Try To Teach The Lessons To Your Children That You Learnt At The Age of 40 Usually, people hold their adolescents unaware of the lessons that they research later in their life. At that stage, they suppose that they have to have discovered it early in life. But when it comes to their children, they leave this on the time to educate them.

The Guilt Consumes
The guilt over whelms consumes the light. I as a mother mourn for my son's place in this Fake world full of Lies. As a mother to not see the Vanity and moronic choices we make or are we covertly subjected into believing we are free to only open our eyes and see the chains the slavery. Blind slavery you fight or you die to your self .Death is easy it happens even when we are still breathing ,if you do not open your mind to see all the falsity, the spirit of this World not the Earth .False Blessings False happiness just cursed in this reality. Ripples of water from the rocks small crevices -little ripples from the wind coming off the roaring waves relentlessly beating us into submission. I look up into the pretend clouds with eyes to see the trail of chemicals

What is success? - part 1
Success is a state Success is a state, reflected inside and out. Success means knowing the personal qualities and trusting them which is directly proportional to the work done and the passion for achieving it. Success can be in the hands of any person if it is desired, sought, and consistently pursued, if the opportunities offered are exploited regardless of obstacles. His superficiality is his enemy, as is his distrust or hope of acquiring it only by luck. Those who get it are those who do not believe in a closed-door, and if they can’t open it from the first attempt, they don’t give up, they come a second time, more prepared and with the key to them. Some see a new chance every day, those who know how to appreciate every success, no matter how small, turning it into a step towards the top. A peak looked at with wide eyes, a trained mind, and sincerity.
