iWatch is right on time....

If this is the future I'm really really feeling it. This is just a "concept" watch.

Grand verbalizer what time is it?

Sometimes You Have to Change the Channel

I'm thinking out loud as I often do and I have come to this conclusion, I enjoy meeting knew people with fresh ideas and energy. They help me re-center myself and refocus my attention on the ever changing list of priorities. I wear many hats and I have come to appreciate the challenges set before me. I also enjoy the sweet taste of victory or freeing up some money for a quick retreat with the family. Here at home it feels like we are watching CHANNEL ZERO with each day serving as a bland rerun. So with that observation I vow to change the channel and get out....... Of the Country! Follow me through the stages of planning and preparation as I plan a trip out of the USA. Stay Tuned.

Prince Hates iTunes, Says 'Internet Is Completely Over'

Prince has announced that the internet is "over". The siner-songwriter will give away his new album 20Ten with copies of The Mirror and Daily Record on July 10. The album will not be available to download. Prince told The Mirror: "The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it." "The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you." Of the title of his new album, he added: "I just think it's a year that really matters. These are very trying times." -source-popeater.com

Dr. Manwine says, "I think Prince is right, the internet is dead. It's over populated and redundent and if in the wrong hands can be a big waste of time. But on the other hand the www is a great place to stumble upon new ideas or to further your mental reach as far as the world is concerned. I reccommend wikipedia and http://www.stumbleupon.com/ to randomly broaden your horizons. As far as music put on your hard hat and get ready to dig because the good stuff is buried deep beneath the surface."

Tears of a Clown? (Chris Brown)

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry step right up to the greatest show on earth! Don't forget your peanuts. Your popcorn. Your KLEENEX? Yes, last week we had the pleasure of witnessing a fairly decent BET awards show. There was the very preggo Alycia Keys and the Prince Liftime Achievment Award. But the side show didn't begin until Chris Breezy hopped on stage with a "riveting" Michael Jackson tribute cast behind a giant white screen. The silloutte moved like Mike and even grabbed his crotch like the King of Pop but when it was time to....Hand me my mirrror Jerome!... Chris brown broke down like a 1998 Ford Taurus on I-95 during a hot Memorial Day weekend- while singing Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror". When I saw it I was like "Wait for it, waaait for it" and then there you have it public sympothy (Just add water). I have been behind the scenes on a reality show and saw how the producers lead you into emotional situations to boost ratings after all Chris is worth more selling hot records than being the bad guy forever. For what its worth Rihanna made the most of the unfortunate situation and took her non singing ass to the top of the charts thanks to some free pub compliments of an ass whooping (Which is still uncalled for none the less). Chris, well, he wasn't so lucky. So in a room somewhere in L.A. the suits said we need to get this boy back on top, get him generating cash flow, have him smiling on a bottle of Snapple Mango Madness. So during rehersal they cleared out the Shrine Auditorium and pulled old Breezy to the side and said "Boy you better cry like Terry Crews just smacked the living Shiznitt outta ya so we can get this revenue flowing again. Hey, I don't blame Chris if he embelished on the weepage so he could win the fans back. He made a mistake, He apologized now let's move on. We should be more concerned about helping young men deal with violent tendencies instead of disowning them when they go out of control. I really like Chris Brown. I want to tell my son "See Chris is a real dude. He messed up, did some soul searching and came back stronger. Isn't that a LIFE lesson?

Just Saying!

Towed You So (The Dance of Sharks)

Today was the day that reality smacked me in the jawbone and changed my perspective for now. My wife and I was in Downtown Silver Spring for an important transaction with a client when we realized we needed to make change so we dashed into the Rite Aid for a quick in and out. As we returned to our vehicle 3.5 minutes later all hell broke out. As we got closer to our car we saw the "Shark", sharp metal teeth salivating over the prey it was soon to snare. This shark was a 6,000 pound tow truck backing up to devour our vehicle a long with our pocket books. As we ran towards the carefully orchestrated confusion two other dudes yelled out to warn the "Shark" that we were approaching which caused him to back up faster slamming into our car and hoisting it up in victory. When we approached the "Shark" he stated the OBVIOUS, "Ya'll Aint Sposed To Park Here!". We pleaded with the "shark" until it decide to show mercy...Ha Ha I'm saying that to be facetious. We paid him $40 to lower our car 2 feet... A got dang DROP FEE!!! Are you serious? Then it hit me, everybody is looking for a come up and we go freely along with the flow. Change perspectives for a second. Gas prices go up $4 and we complain as we reach into our pockets and PAY. The information  is out there but as long as the chain is broken we are exposed and unprotected. So in nature we learn to adapt we learn to extract what is not necessary in order to survive. We desire not be exploited. Sure we illegally parked for 3.5 minutes-The tow truck driver is forced to aggressively scour the parking lots for the desperate- The economy is in the can and it just plain sucked to be me at that moment.

Lesson: If you expose yourself to outside forces expect to be exploited. If you can prevent exploitation expect be satisfied.

To Bump or Shake that is the Question?

Okay Okay Okay I have had it with the confusion and this awkward reach with hands clinched and then open, and then clinched again only to meet in a tangled handshake. For me it all started with the swine flu epidemic when people started to opt for the "bump" stating it helped prevent the transfer of germs. Okay I can kinda see that, not a problem. But gosh some folks didn't get the memo. I lean in with a bump they lean in with a shake, I switch to shake mode they condense their hand to a fist for the salutation. Then it just looks very awkward and takes all the feeling out of a what used to be such a simple gesture. You might be saying "Doc" you are crazy for this one but this is becoming an epidemic. A silent thief stealing our moment of confirmation. This may be more for my male readers as women are more of the hugging type so if you are a female please continue to read because you are guaranteed a laugh at this end of this one. Anyway so let's decide right now fellas what is it going to be? For me it's simple, the bump is for my boys or after hours. I can't see myself doing the bump with the Deputy Director at my job although it would definately be cool if he got it right and did the little explosion with his hand afterwards. The handshake is a classic and it helps you determine who you are dealing with in some ways. For example if the handshake is weak and limp either the person despises you, has carpal tunnel or is one of those english blokes that is so self absorbed that touching common folks his beneath him. Then there is the vice grip handshake which usually indicates low self esteem, too much Red Bull and Creatine, overcompisation for losing too many slap boxing confrontations as a kid or just a plain sadistic person who likes to see your eyes bulge out from unexpected torment. Finally there is the firm 2 second shake. It has an equal departure and let's you know hey I'm a nice guy, I respect you, I WILL pay you back that $10 I borrowed on time and without excuses, I wash my hands regurlarly, I pay my taxes on time and life is swell......LOL No but seriously get your handshake game plan together fellas let's unite under one united front. Okay? Let's shake on it.

Peace!

I Fought the Bald and the Bald won

Okay I'm going to lay it on the line when I say I'm not a natural bald dude but a dude that was forced into the bald club for men. It all started 4 years ago when my barber said, "Yea man I give you like a year and you are gonna have a bald spot right here". I can remember his pointer finger coldly circling the top of my head like a Sergeant in the war room circling the area of attack on a huge map of the free world. I was in denial of course until one day while at the mall trying on some shirts I stood in one of those 3 sided mirrors where you can see all angles and..... WTF! I was looking at a George Jefferson starter kit on the top of my dome! I felt like I had been going through life with my zipper down all this time. I had a nice shape up and well groomed haircut but on the top i was missing the full head of hair I was so used to having. But what the heck I accepted the cards I was dealt and said okay it's time to go bald MANUALLY. So I cut it off and actually was quite comfortable with the look. But then it made me notice so many other men who for whatever reason just couldn't let go. Some had the wavy or curly hair and probably got attached to the compliments of having "good" hair. Others were probably caught up in the corporate make up where being bald is seen as threating or too much like a skin head if you're Caucasian. This is B.S. I see the worst comb overs, hair implants and toupees on public transportation. I'ts like they feel as though 6 1/2 strands of hair can cover the void that used to house lush fields of filamentous biomaterial. I won't even lie I have had vivid dreams of having long hair and wake up like damn, it was all a dream LOL. We are a very swollen headed society and due that fact company's prey on our lack of self love. So that translates into more Rogain being pumped into the oceans due to our mass consumption of Minoxidil and other hair products. Now everyone may not agree and some may even wish that we lost armpit hair or that needless hair from our butt cracks before our hairlines recede and our bald spots proliferate but hey it's genetics. Live with or without it. If your going bald get Tupac on'm and shave it all off. Steve Harvey had to come out of the Hair Closet after years of wearing a perfectly formed top piece. This is just a thought off the top of my head, bald is the new ________.




Peace Out!
Doc
