POPSStanley Kubrick's files -New archives reveal the film-maker's public and private worlds "... My main interest lies along these broad areas naturally assuming great plot and character. 1. The reasons for believing in the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. 2. The impact (and perhaps even lack on impact in some quarters) such discovery would have on earth in the near future. 3. A space probe with a landing and exploration of the Moon and Mars. Would you consider coming sooner with a view to a meeting, the purpose of which would be to determine whether an idea might exist or arise which could sufficiently interest both of us enough to want to collaborate on a screenplay?”

POPSLIFE in a nut shell This speaks to much about what I have said in previous clipmarks, especially, the last one on "Intuition". If only we could learn from others experience, I speak to my own kind here. I do believe however that with age comes, (some) of the wisdom to be teachable, teachable to the things in life that really matter. In my case having a life in which was, self-will run riot I embrace age, (late 30's). I am finally able to live in the moment, and slow down enough to see the beauty around me so to speak!

POPSIntuition I feel this speaks to the intuitive side of one's nature. When a given situation arises, where I have to make a choice/decision and it does not immediatley hit me in the gut, (negativley) I usually go with it. I believe that every action we take, (via our choice/decisions) leads us to a bountiful result, providing that we have indeed listened to our instincts, these results might be unseen at this particular time, but all choices play into the integral web of life, that will lead somewhere wonderful, if you just use your imagination, and let your gut be your guide. To summerize every decision is like a drop of water in the big ocean of life.

POPS"Power of Intention"
The power of intention tells us to eliminate the bad, and think on the good, meaning whenever a bad thought comes into your mind, one such as listed, go to your " Happy Place" as one would call it. I myself think daily, (it is part of my morning ritual) of a different so called "Happy Place" it can be someone I would like eminate in the realms of their qualities, such as Mother Theresa, her wonderful, beautiful aspects, or Martin Luther King Jr. his qualities that he brought into this world that were so profound, to make a positive change. Also I will focus on something, in which I wish to ATTRACT, it can be something as small as the lights turning green as I go about my business, or have it be, that the people I have close encounters with this day are of like mind. Another attitude adjuster, or you could call it ( The Law of Attraction) might be, that a teacher will appear, a teacher in which can be of long standing, or one of briefness, that is there to teach me, what I would want

POPSWhatever the history of Desiderata, the Ehrmann's prose is inspirational, and offers a simple positive credo for life. The common myth is that the Desiderata poem was found in a Baltimore church in 1692 and is centuries old, of unknown origin. Desiderata was in fact written around 1920 (although some say as early as 1906), and certainly copyrighted in 1927, by lawyer Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) based in Terre Haute, Indiana. The Desiderata myth began after Reverend Frederick Kates reproduced the Desiderata poem in a collection of inspirational works for his congregation in 1959 on church notepaper, headed: 'The Old St Paul's Church, Baltimore, AD 1692' (the year the church was founded). Copies of the Desiderata page were circulated among friends, and the myth grew, accelerated particularly when a copy of the erroneously attributed Desiderata was found at the bedside of deceased Democratic politician Aidlai Stevenson in 1965.

POPSPANGEA DAY A WONDERFUL SUCCESS It was a wonderful program--to see excerpts or a replay see the link above--WELL WORTH THE TIME! "We have the capacity and tendency to separate 'us' from 'them.' Once established, we're more tolerant to those we call 'us' and more brutal toward 'them.' But increasingly, science shows there's no limit to who we define as 'us.' Eventually, someday, there might not be any more 'thems.'" - Psychologist Robert Kurzban "How can films change the world? They can't, but the people who watch them can. By changing minds, we change the world." - Actress Cameron Diaz

POPSHillary's Bitter Victory Is there any relief in sight? When will this thing end? The short answer to this question is no, there isn't. Watching this scene, I was struck suddenly by the genius of the Clinton campaign — and also felt myself beginning to understand why this Obama-Clinton contest may yet prove to be one of those defining cultural clashes that come along once a generation or so, like Bryan-Darrow or Ali-Frazier. what we have in Hillary Clinton: a once-in-a-generation political pugilist who, like her much smoother adversary, is amazingly capable of turning weakness into strength. Pitted against physical beauty and inspirational rhetoric, Hillary made herself the champion of everything stylistically ordinary, superficially unimpressive and ignored. And while her opponent won all the attention and admiration, all the teen-idol gushings of the beautiful people, she went for something deeper — resentment at the lack of those same things.
