Admit it, you know the scene… Meg Ryan.
Ok, another hint.

Making fun of the foibles of human relations, was her forte. Taking a jocular look at sensitive subjects. Real issues.

The Prize
No, she hasn’t won it, yet.
The prize she has worked for much of her life.
No, not the Nobel Peace Prize.
She finally was able to accept that prize: Saturday, June 16, 2012 in Oslo Norway. She was awarded the prize in 1991, but couldn’t accept personally, she wouldn’t be able to get back into Burma.
The prize she has worked for most of her life is: free speech, democracy, and peace in Burma. However, she says that are still prisoners of conscience, and as long as there is one prisoner of conscience, despite that she has been released, one too many.
No, her work is not done. There is no peace, free speech, and democracy in Burma — but things are progressing, slowly.
She can’t rest on her laurels. But then Aung San Sui Kyi, the Iron Butterfly, Counselor Idealist, Diplomatic Contender, has her eyes firmly focused on the REAL PRIZE, and she will not be turned away from her impossible dream, fame or no fame. She has no a-gati.

Strategic Bloodthirst
The brutal yet delightful showdown between Marvel and DC rages on as Warner Bros. execs are scrambling to make some moves seeing as they have to sit back and watch The Avengers become a worldwide box office juggernaut (1.4$ billion) while it boasts a formidable critical reception(93%). Warner Bros. president and CEO Jeff Robinov and company have their work cut our for them as sources say they are currently spit-balling ferociously to figure out how to put a successful and high-caliber Justice League of America franchise together. A major factor in accomplishing such a feat involves wooing and recruiting big boss-man randy savage Christopher Nolan to spearhead what would essentially be a “JLA initiative” — re-invigorating Warner Bros’ stake in Hollywood.
High ups in the Warner Brother roster even openly admitted that Marvel/Disney is doing a much better job than they are:
Sources indicate that the execs now realize they need to hire creatives that genuinely understand the characters the way Joss Whedon was comfortable with The Avengers
If these people just knew what was up with the Four Basic Personality Types, maybe they’d have a viable Super-quad right now.
DC/ Warner Bros. however is still in the fight as it has yet to unleash the epic dope sauce-ee-ness that will be The Dark Knight Rises. Other than that though, they indeed better start making some moves, as Marvel/Disney continues to put itself in a position to dominate Hollywood’s lucrative box-office.
Speaking of Hollywood dominance for those of you silly gooses who aren’t well-versed, the The Avengers Easter Egg post-credits scene revealed that the next major villain for Earth’s Mightiest hero’s will be none other than the Mad Titan himself, Thanos the Overmaster. A Bloodthirsty Intergalactic General on a mission to rid the universe of existence, if Thanos is conceived and casted correctly; he could serve as Marvel’s ultimate supervillain.
Who is Marvel’s God of War you ask? A character based off of the Greek God of Death? Let’s take a look.

“Be your own self. Love what YOU love.”
There is a story about him that illustrates him.
No, it isn’t one of thousands of his stories.
It is short story illustrating his enthusiasm for the future, and his celebration of the accomplishments of man.
For he was “himself” and he loved what he loved, until the day he died.
They’re Nuts
We have Armageddon.
Want to make money?
Yes?!
No, I have yet to meet personally an individual who wants to make money.
Everybody that I know, wants to spend money — admit it, you do too. Making money is work.
Well — he will demonstrate how to make money — If you watch and listen, and learn.
He loves making money — it’s fun for him: it’s a way of keeping score. Who is a winner?
American Temperament
“There are strong minds in every walk of life that will rise superior to the disadvantages of situation, and will command the tribute due to their merit, not only from the classes to which they particularly belong, but from the society in general.”
So wrote Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Paper #36, one the founding articles of the United States of America.
If this is not one of the best arguments for the importance of Temperament in the Human Wealth of Nations, then I don’t know what would be.

Supplying the Cool
It’s cool daddy-o.
Have you heard the expression? If you have, when?
If you haven’t, it says something about you. Maybe your age and where you were born.
He had heard it, and really had a subtle influence on the lingo as the 50s and 60s as they progressed.
As the host of the television after-school dance program “American Bandstand” he made an ideal surrogate chaperone: a wholesome, polite, honorary adolescent. Although he was 27 when the program was first broadcast nationally on Aug. 5, 1957, he could have passed for 17. At the time he seemed the sort of mild-mannered superannuated boy who might once have served on the school safety patrol and been elected class treasurer. In fact he had been the president of his high school student council in Mount Vernon, N.Y. [Wikipedia]
Tactician’s Swagger
Yes. I used the word swagger. The next James Bond film entitled Skyfall is now up and running and currently filming in Shanghai after a slight budget debacle involving MGM studios filing for bankruptcy. Those silly suds seem to have gotten back on track however as Skyfall is slated for an November 9, 2012 release date. Daniel Craig will reprise his role as the world’s best secret agent, with Academy Award winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) at the helm, academy award winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) playing the primary villain, and equally not-terrible actors Ralph Phiennes and Albert Finney cast in unspecified roles. The 23rd installment of the world’s longest running movie franchise will see “MI6 come under attack, revealing M’s (Judi Dench) dark past and testing 007’s (Daniel Craig) loyalty to her as he goes after the threat no matter the cost”. Who is Bond… James Bond? The ultimate Promoter Artisan.
Angry Young Man
The Voice is unmistakable.
You know the music.
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man.
It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. And, it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the …
