Curb Your Enthusiasm

Seen this show? I love it. I feel like Larry David sometimes. I feel like HBO. CYE is an excellent name for a semi-spoof street skate video too BTW. Have an older guy between scenes with a bald head and a Jewish tongue, pissing people off. Rumor has it that my mom's mom was Jewish, or partly so. Used to be a bad thing you know, in America, in the south, kept secret at times. Was Penn ever a Jewish name? I could research that one. Assuming that was her real name. Sean and Michael Penn are Jewish right?

But really, to the point, I don't get pissed too much anymore. Really! I've been nasty and foul tongued before yes. I found a lot of pointlessness in the fish bowl of human life when it comes to anger. It uses up too much energy. And I have a tendency to be a little lazy so...well there you go. It's not because I repel it, it's because I understand it. I don't know why I do, maybe I'm getting older, whatever. It's how you work with it, not how you avoid it. Conflict is gonna be there till death. I can see why people get pissed though. They're all wrong, and their all right. Anger is a symptom of a human falling under the control of ego rather than using their wisdom capacity. We could all be wisemen. Once you see that wisdom is really not matter of rank you become wise. It's just sitting there on the shelf waiting to be used by everyone.

Well, I really set myself up this time didn't I? Mr. Wiseman eh? I'm sure it will happen. I'm gonna say something stupid. It hasn't happened yet though. So far I'm spot-on. I'm flawless. I dare you. :)

Beg to differ? Then do so. If I'm wrong - factually, opinion-wise, or grammatically (i employ poetic license a lot obviously), please dig in. Throw me your dirt. See how I do. See if I can stand up. I do not use comment moderation, nor will I ever. I welcome all comments...well I will consider all comments, if your talking about something ridiculous like violence then that's not really welcome, but I'll deal with it. It won't be deleted or censored. You'll just be making yourself look foolish.

But really I'm not out to make anger. I hope only that I might entertain and/or offer an alternate perspective on stuff. Have some fun really. Pleasure. I only regret that this post (in essence) is the result of a comment I made on another post and not from something I said in my actual blog. To me that would be great! Get it going. Let's not be so placid. Praise or Raze each other. You can only be a victim if you let someone victimize you.

  1. Thanks for you're enthusiasm and nice comments, you have an intresting Blog to, i notice. I had no idea Sean Penn was Jewish, he's a good actor.
    My fave is Malkovich.
    I have a jewish background, its kinda something i never really embraced but the mysicism side of it is amazing and really quite intresting, however most jews don't know about it.
    I am a huge fan of The Church, in case you had not noticed, i have been into them for a long time, about 25 years and although i had come close to meeting them always shyed away, sometimes it's better not to meet your heroes. However the last 3 years i found myself meeting steve and marty around town and at various church events and i have to say, i was not disappointed, they are lovely guys, really funny and talented. It's a shame the Moon Maidens are not recorded as they really are unique, Marty keeps it all live and is one of the few musicians who encourages home taping / burning / ripping. But i do hope one day they release their own album, they really are fantastic.
    Anyways I look forwards to reading more from you.
