Introducing a commentary commentary


August 2, 2016
Well, if truth be told
Time to be bold and force myself to admit that "A Commentary" was taken.  What was I thinking?  How would a blog host service, the pre-eminent one created by GOOGLE, not have a blog called "A Commentary".

Yuck, dumbness 101
So, stuck in the middle between my more businessy and social media brainfart resides on my optioneerJM.blogspot.ca .... which in the past few months has been inkling my inklings:: why would GOOGLE swap out my blog from a .com to a .ca?  

Sneaky devils
Just when I wasn't looking, too preoccupied by writing, or blogging as they say, I hadn't noticed that my blog was not set up as a .com one.  Really not a smart move.  Maybe there was no choice.  

Gathered intelligence
Even back then, wasn't as informative as it is now.  You can glide an ad in front of the exact demographic you pre-select defined by online habits (reading, what you look at, what you search for, what you write, what you write about, what you blog, who are your followers, where do your followers come from, how trusting are your followers now they've gotten to know you?

Richter Scale
If you hit the bar and lift it high above, these piranhas of paranoia demonstrate that there is nothing to fear, but fear itself (heard it at one of the American Nomination Conventions but can't remember who the quote should be attributed to.  The nomads of information gathering and sharing start to draw in like a magnet to those that have a high trust worthiness.  

Integrity & Honesty
Can be examined, dissected (thank you GOOGLE for helping me spell dissected when there are so many different ways you can spell it the wrong way).  A person who is above reproof in actions, activity, and influence (likelihood to click).



Likelihood to be Liked
Is a phenomena to be understood and uphold.  It doesn't mean never ever NOT controversial, yet often more intellectual.  Like a lioness protecting her young, she can stand up and be heard the very few times she'd roar.  

Roar rarely
Is a true craft that so many grasp.  You are NOT on an imaginary soapbox and people do NOT care about what you are ranting about, usually, typically.  The true grind is when it is so unbelievable, to be human you cannot but summon rage at the extreme, disappointment would be too dull.  

There is room
For new voices, new vision to soar.  Above the "cloud" free from the "web" of deceit, corruption, exploitation, ruination that so many fall under or into a deep well, or catch themselves midway during the free fall.

Champion
Mentor talent, create fame, share brilliance, recognize excellence in others for all the right reasons, not self-serving motivated.  Be a cheerleader, with a vibrant personality that becomes known to be positive, inspiring, uplifting and optimistic.  Held dearly the belief that a gift of art, music, beauty, entertainment, literature, writing can rise and be known for exuding the greatest appreciation of the talent by others.



Curation
By curating and sharing magnificent art, photography, writings, teachings, ambassadors to making the world a better place, more optimistic, peaceful.  

Beliefs
Those are the beliefs that should unfold.  Not the tyranny of attempting to trick or promote radicalness, violence, unwholesomeness, evil or greed (which equals EGO in my opinion).

Vision
The capacity and habit of looking forward more than backwards.  Who can latch on to something that could be the start of a big curve (remember when I wrote about how Adult Coloring books were going to bust open the rafters?)

Dream
Your dreams with your goals nestled safely within.  Make yourself actionable.  Do what you say you will do.

Commitment
Share the #bestofeverything as a voice of the populace not what the media wants to shape what it is the populace wants.

A long dark tunnel

As my chest tightens I battle the thoughts trying to invade me.  Which is worse?  The memories or the fear of the future? Watching a wedding yesterday torpedos me back to memories on how I ended up marrying him.  After years of uncertainty, we seem to blend and melt into a family plot of four children from the other's previous marriages.  Symbols of failure which expound so much joy, proving that the cup is really half full.   Feeling failure is probably not unique to the mid life crisis era of those begotten to be forgotten.  Yet there are so many others who can expell and expand into the world as one of the greats.   It doesn't seem like any of the greats didn't feel failure.  That chest heavy, air sucking the wind out of you until you're almost breathless, while the brain churns.  That is probably a really good description of the feeling of failure. Watching the kids all have a great time, the parents still symbols of a period where manners overruled

The interview police

There are so many great websites, blogs, articles, books out there that capture the interest of job hunters or career seekers.  You are given advice on your resume, your attitude and how to behave at the interview. Yet while there are so many of these sites that offer interviewers advice, where are the interview police?  Well, I guess between Google searches, Linked In and other sources, one can easily find out a lot about a prospective employer.   Distaste can be quick and immediate if one has a poor interview experience.  That being that the interview was unprofessional, disrespectful and disengaged. I don't think that many companies assess what they are doing about their hiring practices and how they may be treating prospective employees.  That is likely a major oversight that only is rectified when the job market switches positions:  from a buyers market perspective of employee recruiting to a sellers market from those seeking employment. What are organizations doing

Testing ... reDEFINING

Postings on the Edge a twist of words as reference to Postcards from the Edge.   Kindred spirits join the journey.  But first, you need to begin with me firstly by watching "Bright Lights" with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds  Take in the poignant moment when Carrie visits her dying father, Eddie Fisher, with more forgiveness than any one I've ever known. Compassionate creatures  enveloped from the vessels of "Singing in the Rain" fame, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher who wrote "Postcards from the Edge" starring Shirley McClain and young upstart Merle Streep.  I watched this  this afternoon after taking the HUNKster's suggestion of HBO's "Bright Lights" last night when we returned home after sharing a hearty dinner with great friends.   Quality overpowers time every time Suggesting quality is not defined by length of time spent together, but in the value and peaceful-ness
