Biden Administration / Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

You are a roly-poly bug with less personality and a bigger carbon footprint.

I tried the personality thing, talk with strangers/friends of the brides and grooms at weddings and people at parties.
It didn't work out, my conversations were mocked.
Seeming not high-powered enough, or seemingly boring...maybe not Leftist/PC enough.
I would rather not have been there anyway, so now I don't go to social functions if I can possibly avoid them. If forced to go I just eat the food, compliment the hosts and others, then look at my phone all day/night.
Or I let people come to me, they initiating conversation.
My most successful conversations are with people under 5 and over 80...oh and dogs.

The secret at parties is to simply be a good listener.

I had a teacher in high school who was an actor, and he taught us how to behave at Hollywood parties. He was friends with Ricardo Mantalban, and Michael Landon, and with other stars, and they used to have parties every weekend for charity for and other reasons and just for fun because Hollywood loves to party. My teacher told us that the secret at Hollywood parties is to be a good listener, and if all that you do is listen then at the end of the night everyone will talk about what a great Guy you are. I was lucky to have teachers who taught me how to behave at Hollywood parties.

Salute,

Tony V.

I now weigh 187 lbs.
5'7" short.
Hand to hand combat is out of the question...so best I have guns.
Not allowed to have guns, no wonder I "jump at shadows".
Not allowed to carry knives, swords, crossbows, long bows, nail rods, etc, anything that can be used as a weapon.
A sitting duck I surely am.
The bad people seem to sleep all day and come out after dark.
So after dark I run inside and shut all the windows and doors, shut all the blinds and curtains, switch on the outside sensor lights...and hope for the best.
Going to night footy game in Sydney is "traumatic", the roads out after dark are dim, dark and dingey, lonely if you break down, and cold, misty, raining 'often' and eerie in winter.
I have top shelf auto club membership, so they'll come and get me/us...sitting in the car by the side of the road for an hour would be a nightmare..."exit the ar and move to a safer place" or "stay in the car and risk being smashed into by crazy truck drivers"...not much of a choice.
If only I could carry guns.
Guns are great...for self defence, in the dark and cold when broken diwn beside highways and backroads.

You need to have a community of people who work together as a team to make your neighborhood nice and safe for all of you, and you need to have a Neighborhood Watch program, etc.

And like when I lived in beautiful expensive mansions which were used as group homes, we had to all work together as a team to make it safe so that we could enjoy having a beautiful expensive house to live in. It was a beautiful house with a rose garden, etc, and they were feeding everyone great food, we simply had to work together as a team to keep it safe so that we could enjoy living there. And it is the same with this apartment complex, we have over 100 people here in this complex and we work together to keep it safe. And I live right by City Hall and I feel like we have a community here in Anaheim. And we have a great police department, etc.

God wants for us to have a community of Christians and for us to work together as a team. Christians can feed the hungry, and house the homeless, and people can also work together to form Neighborhood Watch programs, etc. There can also be more Wellness Centers, and Mental Health Associations, etc. And Crisis Intervention Specialists can assist the cities, etc.

My community has an old protection gang that used to protect the farm workers, etc, La Fabrica, and they still work together to watch over the neighborhoods. The community also has a good representative at City Hall and we have a good Mayor, and a good police department.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hollywood also creates a lot of good jobs in Canada and in New Zealand and in Australia and for the British. And we need to be more involved at Cinecitta in Rome, and at the Victorine Studio in Nice, France, etc. Hollywood creates jobs all around the world. I am sure everyone will be happy when Hollywood goes back to work.

Many Hallmark movies seem to be made in Canada.
Girl  meets handsome guy, they fall in love, and live happily ever after.
Maybe it's time for not-so-handsome guys to be featured, ones with 'nice personalities'.

My Mother loves the Hallmark movies, and when I go to visit her we drink expensive gourmet coffee and we watch Hallmark movies. And she loves the Classics. She has good memories of watching the Classics with her Grandmother who used to take her to the movie theatres when she was a child. Her Grandmother used to take her to Olvera Street in Los Angeles, and to the zoo, and to the movies, etc. Her Grandmother owned a restaurant in San Bernardino, she was successful and she gave a lot of money to charity, and she used to spend a lot of time with my Mother, she was a good influence on my Mother. Anyhow, the Hallmark films are great, and they bring a lot of joy to my Mother.

Salute,

They could use your help too, Tony, if you have the time.

Very cool. Looks like a good program.

When Hollywood opens back up then Job Corps needs to connect with Hollywood to create jobs for the youth. And Hollywood creates jobs in more places than just here in California, Hollywood also creates jobs in Georgia, and Hollywood is going to create more jobs in Florida, and in New York, and in Michigan, and new studios are being built in Nevada, etc. So, when the Entertainment Industry goes back to work then a lot of opportunities will be created. And Show Business jobs are the kind of jobs that the youth want, they all want to work in Show Business.

SAG/AFTRA, and the WGA, and the DGA, and the Producers Guild, etc, etc, etc, they can all have apprenticeships for the Youth, and Internships, etc.

And of course the community colleges all need to teach acting, and film, and writing, etc.

We need to have a bridge connecting our youth with the jobs in the Entertainment Industry.

Of note, Fullerton Community College is training people for jobs with Disney, the youth go right to work for Disney when they graduate. It is wonderful, the youth are going right to work with a good company when they graduate.

We need to hook the Foster Youth up with the Unions to be apprentices, etc, and to learn how to make an honest living when they grow up and are on their own.

CASA can be hooked up with the Unions, etc.

https://www.californiacasa.org/

And then there is also community college, but the youth need to have a home and money, they cannot be living in their cars while they go to community college. So, there is the issue of cheap group homes for the students, etc, and good paying side jobs that the students can work while they study. The Unions and CASA and the community colleges can all work together as a team to serve the foster youth.

The Unions can reach out to the homeless teens, and to the poor and at risk teens, and the unions can hire the boys as apprentices, etc, and they can help the boys to learn how to earn an honest living.

https://teamsters2010.org/

We need to teach the youth how to make an honest living so that they do not have to be homeless and so they do not become criminals.

Poverty is the father of revolution and crime. We need to help the poor youth to get started on a good path.

As the sports teams from Oakland all move to Las Vegas, the Raiders, and the Athletics, then it is great for Vegas, Vegas is doing fantastic, but what about poor Oakland? Oakland is a bad ghetto now, even worse than San Francisco.

https://www.oaklandca.gov/topics/oaklands-advantages

Education is important, schools are important, and libraries, and community colleges, etc. We can expand after school programs for the children, and we can teach the high school boys how to install sound systems in cars, etc. ( I have a friend who can install a sound system in a Ferrari and he is doing very well, and he teaches the high school kids. ) We need to teach the kids how to make an honest living, so that they do not have to resort to crime.

Wellness Centers are also important, and Mental Health Associations, and Sober Living Homes are important, etc.

They need hostels where they can get a bed and a shower for $15 per night.

Vegas is doing great, but it is not so great in Oakland, and San Francisco is also having problems.

Salute,

Tony V.

Every star should have some good investments, including restaurants, like Danny Trejo with his Tacos, Trejos Tacos is a very popular restaurant for tourists, he owns a few restaurants now in the Hollywood area.

Tori Spelling can have an ice cream shop like Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, and I picture Tori Spelling selling gourmet cupcakes, she can have a shop on Melrose Ave in Hollywood, and also on Rodeo in Beverly Hills. And she needs good agents and managers to guide her and she needs helpers, etc.

2 new movie studios are being built in Nevada, and lots of new tax breaks are being proposed to help to start a film and television industry in Nevada.

https://www.fox5vegas.com/2023/06/01/one-step-closer-movie-studios-being-built-southern-nevada/

They can make Westerns, such as making a series of films from the Slocum series of Westerns by Jake Logan.

I have some ideas for a few Westerns, one idea is for a Lawyer in the Wild West, like a mix between Clint Eastwood and Perry Mason, fast with a gun and smart with the law.

There is also an old series of books about Casey the stagecoach driver, and other old books.

Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey, etc, are also good writers but have already been over-done in Western movies. I think the Slocum Westerns could be more fun for today's audience.

Bible movies can also be made in Nevada. Lots of stuff can happen in Nevada.

Las Vegas was my Grandmother's favorite city, she wanted to open a 24 hour dog kennel and dog grooming shop in Las Vegas. My Grandfather loved The Golden Nugget and he named his favorite race horse "Golden Nugget" and then we had "Golden Nugget Jr." they were beautiful race horses.

The Australia Rugby team might like the Golden Niugget...

https://www.goldennugget.com/las-vegas/

And it is like in Spain, they have dinner at 10:00 pm and they party all night. In Battle Mountain, Nevada, I worked at the casino from !0:00 pm to 6:00 am. And Nevada is full of Basques, they live a lot like the culture in Spain. Elko, Nevada, even runs with the bulls every year.

Nevada is a fun state, the Rugby players will have fun in Nevada.

Grand Announcement;

"It's 'Australia Week' in Vegas next March!

Part of the week will be 4 Rugby League teams from the NRL playing their first game of the 2024 season in Vegas.
Not exhibition matches, these games will be for competition points and therefore very seriously contested.
Like NFL...but different.

Does it snow in Vegas in March?
Rain is ok, they play in the rain.

Vegas has nice weather, rare snow. Normally the weather in Vegas is real nice. Hot in the summer, with nice pools and air conditioned rooms, and a 24 hour schedule so people work at night, the casinos are all busiest at night. Should be nice in March. Vegas is nice.

Salute,

Ventura County Star

Somis Ranch Apartments will begin leasing the first of its 360 apartments in November to farmworkers.

---------

Good to see new apartments being built for the farmworkers, and Ventura is nice, the workers can go surfing after work, etc. Lots of good strawberries come from Ventura, and other good food, we all win as they build new housing for the farmworkers in Ventura.

The Mental Health Association in Santa Ana is very wealthy, and there is no need for anyone to be homeless in Orange County anymore.

But, we need to look out for each other. Here is a story... I was living in a beautiful house with about 10 rooms and the lady who owned and ran the house was feeding us wonderful food, it was great, but the people had to work together to keep it safe. There was a mentally ill white guy who was going to stab a black guy from Ghana, and I had to save the black guy. I told the mentally ill white guy that the only voice that mattered was mine, and that the voices in his head did not mean shit, and I made him give me the knife. It was a nice house, with good food, and it was way better than being homeless, but we had to look out for each other to keep it safe, it took teamwork to keep it safe.

Tori Spelling could simply show up at the Mental Health Association in Santa Ana and they will help her and her family. Then, after she gets back on her feet then she can help the next guy, when Tori is rich again then she could help the next homeless family.

Poor Hawaii.

We cannot save what is already lost, but we can rebuild, and Hawaii can rise from the ashes.

The best pot I ever smoked was from Hawaii. My cousin had a friend who owned a yacht in Hawaii where he lived, and he owned the "U.S. Bong Company" and he grew pot in Hawaii and he sold his pot to San Francisco, and to Hollywood, and to San Diego, etc. They were selling a strain of weed named Puna Electric and it was the best pot in the world. That was what everyone was smoking in Hollywood back when "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" came out at the Drive In.

Hawaii can sell pot to San Francisco, and to Los Angeles, and to San Diego, etc, and to whoever wants the best pot in the world.

Hawaii can use the money from the pot to rebuild Hawaii.

Salute,

Tony V.
