My therapist gave me a nice compliment the other day. She said, ” Rich, You’re more than just your bipolar one.” What a relief.
I spent some time at the Emerson Spa and Resort last week. It is a great place to hide and quiet the mind.
I haven’t met the mind I want to spend eternity with. That includes my own.
I am sure there are a variety of reasons people take their own lives. My guess is Anthony Bourdain made a conscious choice, that for him, it was time.
Anthony Bourdain had been a heroin addict, yet hanged himself. Even in death pride is sometimes hanging around.
Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade may have known there is something better beyond. They loved, and were loved……. it wasn’t enough?
For a chef from Jersey, who was thrown out of Vassar College, he climbed to heights beyond any of his wildest dreams. I can only imagine how frightened he must have been.
To decide the exact moment you die is another way of saying, “I’ve had enough, I am making the last move.” If his mind is still working I would very much like to have a conversation with him.
I am becoming convinced there may be something after this life. Still, I am not changing my strategy.
Yes, words are important and powerful. But, I was taught, actions speak louder than words.
Keep fighting, focus on saying things that make sense, find humor in all situations, and keep calculating. With your brain, not a computer.
I aimed for happiness but settled for success. Well, it sounds good.
Sometimes I think Trump is uniting the world against him. Russia was thrown out of the G-8 after the annexation of Crimea and Ukraine and Trump wants them back in.
Trump may be many bad things, but lazy isn’t one of them. I slept more last week than he has in a lifetime.
Our president has watched the Godfather far too many times. He keeps his friends close, and his enemies far too close.
The first Ali-Frazier fight was far more exhilarating than Trump-Kim.
North Korea represents one of the Districts in the Hunger Games. Thank God we live in the capital.
Kim and Trump are making peace? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
If there were no missiles, there would be no summit. Kim Jong-Un’s family may be cruel fascist fools, but they are definitely not stupid.
It is nothing to be proud of, but I have thought my smoke and mirror show was pretty good. Then, I started watching the president’s.
A message to James Comey: When you claim to be the most honest guy in the room, the people in the room are betting a lot of money that you are not.
Do have a voice inside your head telling you “not to”? If so, please contact me and tell me where I can purchase that voice.
There comes a time in your life when you must choose to turn the page, write another book, or simply close it. For me the time is here again.
As long as you keep focusing on what you did not get, that’s all you’re going to get…everything you don’t want.
“I can’t just engage, I’ve gotta compete. I can’t merely compete, I’ve gotta win. And a win isn’t a win unless it is a kill.” OK……I said something close to that once.
A female person was caught on video shaving her legs poolside. Think of the poor little kids trying to pee in peace.
As I get up in years I am surprised at how some simple stuff rises in importance and clarity. On the other hand, I am taken aback by how wrong my younger self was in his thinking.
The super-rich are famous for being some of the cheapest people in the world. At least that is what I’ve heard.
I do enjoy watching NFL football on television. I do not enjoy the on going debate regarding the part that has nothing to do with the game.
In my opinion the players in the NFL should be more concerned about dealing with their peers who have incurred traumatic brain injury then standing or kneeling during the National Anthem. That might be a more important issue, don’t you think?
I understand others are more comfortable when they have the upper hand. But for me, I prefer to go toe to toe every time.
The greatest stories are about people who fell, were considered finished, done, then who suddenly appear on the ladder next to you. Those are the tales I want to hear and write about.
Life is a lot more than just showing up, no matter what the experts claim. Take a good long look at the people around you, and then grab a mirror.
Winning and losing are not my priority anymore. It is all about the next move.
