Time Magazine Cover


Time Magazine's latest cover picture has people talking.

What is shocking to me is that people still buy magazines.  I mean, really?  Who reads print anymore?  I admit that I subscribe to both newspapers in my city, but, sometimes I think I do so just so I can complain about the paper carrier.  It is beyond my control.  It is genetic.  I get it from my father.  He was the nicest, most forgiving man ever, except when it came to his paper carrier.  He was unforgiving.  I am not as bad as he is, but the paper assures me that it will be delivered by 5:30 am.  I just expect that the commitment will be honoured.  When I call customer service, and I press 1, press 2, press 3, etc, when I type in my phone number associated with my account, I literally get a message that says, "Oh, you are one of our special subscribers, please wait for our Supervisor on duty to talk to."  Anyway, I digress.......

So, Time Magazine's latest cover picture is a picture of Trump looking in the mirror and in the reflection, he has a crown on his head.  It means he views himself as a King/Dictator/Evil Maniacal Tyrant/you pick what best suits this in your mind.  He views himself as all of the above.

Ironically, I attended an Adult Sleep Class yesterday.  I have been an insomniac most of my life.  People were sharing the reasons they are losing sleep.  Many have complex medical conditions.  Some have environmental issues preventing them from getting sleep.  Others are worried about their marriages, their debt, or their job security.  I was too embarrassed to admit that I am losing sleep over Trump as President.  However, I am really worried about the planet as long as he occupies the White House.

I wish I could be more like Michelle Wolf.  Well, except for her annoying screeching voice which really can be heard best by dogs.  I think she is very funny but I just can't tolerate listening to her.  She needs to start smoking or something.  Anyway, the reason that I wish I could be more like Michelle Wolf is that she says she hates doing jokes about Donald Trump.  She feels they are just too easy to do and they write themselves so it is not challenging her as a comedian to make fun of him so she ignores him rather than be tempted to do Trump jokes.

I really wish I could ignore him.  I do view him as a joke.  I wish all serious media would also ignore him.  He will look at Time magazine and be happy with it and think, "finally, someone gets me."

Meanwhile, I'm still losing sleep.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

Image
I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
