Democrat who supports the second amendment

 I am sure there are other democrats who believe in our right to bear arms. I would like to hear from some. Anyone out there? I feel so alone.

 So by episode 5 of KNIGHT  Rider I was done. Enough. Moving on.

To another disappointment. The Book of Boba Fett. None of it is interesting or makes sense. Possibly I need to understand the backstory. I am on episode 3 and still don't care what happens to Boba Fett. There is not a character that I find interesting and the music is awful. I keep comparing it to the Mandalorian. That is such a great show. I was hooked a few minutes into the first episode and could not wait for the following week. Boba seems to have two facial expressions,  mouth open or mouth closed. Otherwise his face never changes.  I am going to keep watching because I refuse to believe that all episodes will be so bad with all the talent behind it. 

KNIGHT RIDER

 On NETFIX. Knight Rider is on Netflix. Ha ha. I never really watched it when it was on TV. And I can see why I never watched it before. But now I am hooked. No bad language. Lots of car action. Mild comedy. Tall good looking guy with an easy smile and good manners. What is not to like. Besides bad scripts and uneven acting. There were shows on every day with the same formula and I never thought I would miss it.  I watched high action gritty stuff.  Now I am tired of all the bad language and grisly violence and people acting badly. Maybe in my old age I like to believe people can be decent to one another and don't need to put one another down to lift themselves up.  The good guy can win.  See for yourself. Sit down with a cold bottle of coke and potato chips on your favorite comfy chair and watch Michael save, if not the world, then at least a small part of it.  We are all safer because of it.

RAGNAROK ON NETFLIX

 Hello. Anyone into Norse mythology, beautiful scenery and old giants, or maybe they are old gods. In any case they are worth watching.  The show is in Netflix and has subtitles and dubbed in English as the language spoken is actually Norwegian. Get past that and it is intriguing. The plot is good, the rise of Thor in modern times. A large bulky teenage boy, brave but not academically inclined, moves to town and transformes into something he was not  expecting. Only one old lady knows what is going on and she is not being helpful. Of course in order to keep the mystery going Magne (Thor in the making) does not ask a lot of questions of her. He is the strong and silent type. You should see what he does with his new found strength. Outstanding. Not going to say anymore.  I am on episode 5 now of season 1. Going to stop now so I can watch.

Broken hearted

Today a 9 year loses faith in people. She is a girl who may or may not be transgender. She wears her brother's shorts and shirts at school and plays mostly with boys. She is sweet and has the biggest heart of any kid I ever met. She loves animals and takes care of everyone. She is intelligent and curious and beautiful inside and out. And she lost another friend today because the friends parents won't let them play with her. How sad is that.  

How can we move forward as a society when there are so many people who cannot see beyond their own prejudice? What are they teaching their children and this sweet 9 year old? I can hardly type this for the tears.

What horrible thing do they expect will happen to their children if they play with her? She is fun and interesting and great company. She is a great friend. They would be lucky to have her as a friend. Blast their intolerance and I hope the kids are saddened by their parent's decision and confused enough to challenge or at least doubt the wisdom. This could be that point in a child's life when they realize that their parents are not always right and start looking beyond them for guidance and answers.  A lot for a 9 year old to process. 

A little girl will cry herself to sleep tonight. 

 She is strong and determined to be what she is in spite of any obstacles.  She is awesome just as she is and anyone who knows her knows that.  

Please, think before you break someone's heart.

 Hello. This post is about the "whatever" part of the post's name. It does not involve movies or TV shows, I just wanted to add my 2 cents to the ruckus over our country's emotional climate.  I am disappointed in the state of this country to say the least.

Where is it written that Democrats must hate Republicans and vice versa, conservatives cannot be in the same room with a liberal. Different viewpoints are essential to finding the correct path, going in one direction or the other exclusively will cause imbalance.  I am a registered Democrat but do not agree with 100% of the Democratic agenda.  I reserve the right to disagree with the Democrats, or anyone else, if I believe they are wrong.  I do not hate Republicans, or moderates, or mixed race individuals, or bible thumpers, or tree huggers, or surfer dudes, or Playboy bunnies.  I dislike (not hate) people who do not respect my right to have my own opinion, even if it disagrees with yours.  My opinion is based on my individual belief system, values and life experiences which are completely different than yours and as valid as yours.  I do not blow up buildings or kill people to get my point across.  That route seems to cause the majority of people to devalue the opinions and goals of the people who caused the destruction.  

The country needs to take a deep breathe and relax.  The Republicans did not destroy the country during the Bush or Trump era and the Democrats did not destroy the country during the Clinton or Obama administrations.  We survived it all and will do it again if everyone can keep a clear head.  Republicans keep the Dems in check and the Dems keep the Reps in check and that is how it should be.  That is how the political system in this country is supposed to operate. That is what makes America great.

 Hello. I am working my way thru NETFLIX Top 10 shows. I found this useful and interesting, I have seen shows that i would not have considered.  Some of those are below:

Previous:  

The Queen's Gambit.  I really liked it even though no one got killed and there were no car chases. Guess I am maturing?  Strange thing is that I would have like it better if it was based on true characters, the ending would have been more dramatic and less Hollywood.  History does have examples of women chess players but they never attained the height that she did during that period of time.  Good bit of film making.

Today:

Behind Her Eyes. No 1 on the Hit Parade and it should be. Another great limited series with an unexpected ending. DO NOT try to determine the last few twists, it is better seen than known before hand.  Great characters and acting, slow in parts for my taste but well worth the time.

Firefly Lane.  It is not mine to review as I did not get past the first episode. Apparently it is No 5 in the TOP 10 right now so someone is finding it interesting.  If you view it and like it please let me know why.

The CREW. No 6 and I despair for America's viewing habits.  This is reminiscent of the network "comedies" that were so popular years ago.  It can't touch Married with Children and that show is as low as I am willing to go to.  That being said, it will probably do well.

No 3, 7 and 8 are teenage shows or baby shows which are unwatchable for any thinking adult.  Must be bedtime.

The SINNER.  No 9 on the HIT PARADE.  I have tried to get into it, Bill Pullman is a good watch and Matt Boomer is easy on the eyes.  It is nice to see Matt Bomer take on a more meaty role and not just a slick handsome playboy type.  A little gray in the beard is nice. And his character drives a Prius. I knew I liked him for a reason. 

Bridgerton.  Have an aversion to this show although I have only seen the previews.  Maybe too many period dramas?  Has good ratings, should try it out.  Is there a reason I should?
