WHAT IF THE APPLE WAS YOUR OYSTER ?

You’re an emerging  talent and you’ve just been offered a Job by Steve Jobs, You will be working with you allot.

Do you take the job?

Could you deal with it?

What would it do to you?

Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography of Jobs offers a revealing look at what the author has called "good Steve" and "bad Steve." Good Steve was brilliant, charismatic, a champion for excellence, an alchemist who turned a moribund computer company into gold. Bad Steve was petulant, rude, spiteful, and controlling, a man who thought nothing of publicly humiliating employees, hogging the credit for work he hadn't done, throwing tantrums when he didn't get his way, or parking his Mercedes in handicapped spots. For several years, he even denied the paternity of his daughter so that the child and her mother had to live on welfare.

Could you have dealt with Steve Jobs?

Some writers are born, some become great  and others are thrust into greatness?

How do you see it?

Can you tell the difference ?

Do you have examples?

Or just talk about it.

THE RUM FACTORY

Amber & smoke,

crystal glasses & Rum,

Pirates tells & the fading oranges and violets.

White beaches & beautiful blues,

calm, 

whispering ocean breaze,

soft stories,

resonating,

warm liqueur ,

and Jamaican drums.

Autumn has just settled in ,

I was out walking in the light rain,

and it was perfect.

Autumn colors and black,

it felt good!

I bought steak,

Cabernet red wine a Jewish bread,

I'm having a feast and listening to this song. 

Thinking of people far away now,

hoping they are doing well.

DOORS AND MONSTERS



In Lewis Caroll’s  Jabberwocky, her creates a great monster/

“ The Jabberwocky, to lend an air of nonsense, but with that nonsense comes fear. We are afraid of things we cannot sense.”

“What makes Carroll’s description masterful is how much he leaves out. That way, the reader makes up most of the image, and it’s always more horrid and terrifying that way.”

It’s been said, anxiety and fear steam from two main sources , what we don’t understand and what we can’t control.

In sum, confusion, delusion and vulnerability .

These are often mercurial and nebulous  , shape shifters who in away know what you are not; in other words, they live in the void, our unknowns, our ultimate enemy death.

They are  doors.

 Doors, that is tricky and hard to find. AS if we live in a sort of Winchester house , a mansion  of countless , crazy doors, with demons and ghost are native two.

What if we muster the courage , find the right combination to our souls and flip on the light switch and take possession of this mansion ?

What if it’s as simple a key that dangles from your neck?

What’s so incredibly obvious  and yet so illusive ?

What if it is really you, your dark-side haunting you?

Machiavellian Wet Dream

In essence, this can be boiled down to a contemporary family of Machiavelli the philosopher of power and all it’s lovely trimmings.

The lovely house of Borgia notably Cesare Borgia the Sociopathic killer. A cross between the main character in Scarface and Sonny in the God father. The Borgia where an Italian family like the family in the Godfather on steroids . When they ween’t murdering other people, they were murdering each other.

So when I say a Machiavellian Wet Dream, we are talking about such a families or opportunities that people like Machiavelli drool over and even have wet dreams thinking of !

Fred :

Well Tad, the Cardashians are not quite a Machiavellian Wet Dream yet, but at the rate they are going, they are going to get their.

Tad:

I wonder if they watch the Sopranos .

Fred :

Dude, aren’t they from New Jersey?

Tad:

oh, yeAH!

Fred :

I wonder if your sister has already invited  Cesare over to meet your dad?

Tad:

I don't think so, but I know she's working on it!
