I am part Cherokee, and part Choctaw, according to my Mother, my ancestors were Cowboys and Indians, I am very much American, including having Native American Indian ancestors. Eventually I will do the DNA test with Ancestry.com.

Salute,

With this new year I want to find a girlfriend and I want to make some money. I do not want to grow old poor and alone. I want to find a good woman, and I want to make some good money.

I want to publish my poetry book, and I want to get my movie script made into a movie, and I want to find a good girlfriend who shares my same interests and who wants to do the same things that I want to do.

The best place to meet new people is at Chapman film school, I need to go there and check the place out, and I need to get involved with activities at the film school. And I can find a good woman who wants to write and produce television shows and movies with me. It would also be good to find a woman who wants to own and operate a night club in Rome with me, etc, and maybe buy a winery in Tuscany, etc. And I can act in student films at the film school, etc, and we will see if I am able to do any acting.

Also, we have Fullerton community college close to where I live, and the community college is going to have a French film festival in March, so I will go to the French film festival and I can meet new people there who are into cinema.

We have great schools here, and the schools are a great place to meet new people. That is my best chance to meet new people this new year is to go to Chapman film school to activities there, and also to the Fullerton community college to activities there.

Salute,

Tony V.

In the USA we believe that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.

No man is any more of a man than any other man, all men are created equal.

No man is entitled to special benefits based on race in my opinion, every race needs to be equal in America.

So, if I do a dna test, then it does not matter what the results are, I will still be the same man, and I will still have equal rights just like everyone else.

It will not change who I am when I do my dna test and when my test proves that I have Native American Indian ancestors in my family tree, I will still be the same man who I am now, and I will still have equal human rights with all Americans.

And you do not have to be Indigenous to open a casino, in Nevada we can all open casinos, anyone could open a casino in Nevada, it is just all about money and connections. The White men can open casinos in Nevada, just as easily as anyone else.

My human rights will not change when I do my dna test for Ancestry.com.

Salute,

Tony V.

I have always felt that I have the same good human rights as all other men in the USA, no one has better human rights than any other man, we are all equal.

When I worked at Universal Studios some of the people who I worked with wanted for me to buy the studio someday, and I felt like they were training me to be a future owner of Universal Studios, I ate lunch with Lew Wasserman, etc, and I felt like they were teaching me the whole time that I worked at Universal.

I feel like I have the same right to own a movie studio here in the USA as anyone else. So, when my fellow employees were telling me to own the studio someday, I actually considered the idea. And you never know, I might buy Universal someday.

Salute,

Haven't been able to find love yet?
Re-invent yourself, *everybody* else is.
Circulate...
Mingle more...
Poetry club?
Social clubs?
Climate change protest groups?

Be charming, polite always, well-groomed always, happy always, a perfect gentleman always.
There will always be women looking for a "nice man".
A non-smoking, non-drinking(or not drinking much) man.

Not rich?
Don't drive a Ferrari?
No worries, 'gold-diggers' are not genuine.
Online dating is popular...post an up to date, genuine photo of yourself.
Not too much info, just the basics.
"Good man seeks relationship with nice woman".
"Likes movies, walks on beach, cooking (can't cook, learn how), music, etc.
Nothing weird.
Only meet for coffee on first date.
Some young women on Youtube say they go on dates "for free food".
Don't talk too much, let the woman do the talking..and listen intently....women like to talk.
Put your phone way.
If the woman leaves after a short time, or goes to the bathroom and disappears,  no worries...you're only out a cup of coffee.

The story of Universal is a great American success story, Carl Laemmle came from Bavaria, Germany, to the USA, and he first started with a five and dime in Chicago, which became successful with nickelodian movies, so Laemmle came to Hollywood to make movies for his nickelodian movie machines. Universal became a huge success story. And they made a lot of money from monster movies, and from westerns.

When I worked at Universal, we had Lew Wasserman as our boss, and we had Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg who were there making movies. I watched Ron Howard as he made "Apollo 13" on the Universal lot.

Thanks Bambu, I will find a wife, I just need to get out and meet her. Beautiful women come to Hollywood from all over the world to make movies, I just need to go meet the women, the film school, and the community college, are both good places to meet women. The schools are great places to meet the women. And for sure I will meet women at the French film festival, etc. I just need to get out of my apartment and I need to go to where the women are at. The women are at the schools.

Salute,

If Universal wants to make some money quickly, on a low budget, then they can do the Slocum Westerns...

https://tinyurl.com/bp8k7vvt

And they can make a mini series of "The Count of Monte Cristo."

And they can do some Shakespeare, including making "King Lear" with Robert DeNiro.

Salute,

Tony V.

I just watched a news segment on television about a new program in Long Beach that brings in little girls from the Girl Scouts to read books to the stray dogs and cats at the animal shelter. It was a very cool news segment which shows the good side of humanity, where we love even the stray animals in the shelters.

Children are natural at loving, and that is the side of humanity which we need to nurture. And the Cub Scouts, and the Girl Scouts, and Youth For Christ, etc, and other groups which get the children to do service out of love for other people, are very important. We need to have a warm and loving society where we care about each other and where we love each other. And if we love each other, then the whole world will get better.

We are not going to win the hearts and minds of people with just soldiers and police and prison guards, etc, but a child reading a book to a little old lady at a nursing home WILL win the hearts and minds of people. Being civilized is about loving each other and about helping each other, and about having a community.

And you can win the hearts and minds of people with loving movies like "It's A Wonderful Life" and other good movies like that. Frank Capra was an expert at winning the hearts and minds of the American public.

We need to stop the gang violence, and the illegal drug dealing, and we also need to help the homeless, etc, and we need for people to be more loving and caring, instead of promoting the violence.

And we lost in Afghanistan because we failed to win the hearts and minds of the people of Afghanistan, you cannot win the hearts and minds of people with guns and soldiers. The teachers, and the poets, and the filmmakers, and the clubs such as the Cub Scouts, can win the hearts and minds of the people, along with the Christians and the missionaries, etc.

Of note, rich guys like Rick Caruso can help the homeless without being in politics, he can help communities to improve with his vast resources.

And Churches such as the 7th Day Adventists, and Mormons, and Catholics, and Jews, and Baptists, etc, etc, etc, can win the hearts and minds of people by helping the poor and the needy and the homeless and by helping the senior citizens, etc. You can win the hearts and minds of people by helping to house the homeless, and by feeding the poor, and by children reading books to the senior citizens in the nursing homes, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Here is a video of Sammy Hagar doing a song with some girls from Afghanistan...

https://ultimateclassicrock.com/sammy-hagar-fly-like-an-eagle/

That is how one can win the hearts and minds of the people of Afghanistan. Sammy is winning hearts and minds with his guitar and a song.

Dolly Parton can win hearts and minds, the world loves Dolly Parton. What if Dolly did a song of hope and freedom for the people of Afghanistan? Dolly can win the hearts and minds more than a soldier and a gun could ever do.

Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, they were great at winning hearts and minds. American music helped to win the Cold War, and American music can still serve the world.

No one can beat the the Afghans...all shown in Rambo 3.
Not Gengis Khan, not Britain, not Russia, not US-led Coalition Of the Willing.
US/COW kinda won, got bin Laden and all his computers and files.
Aussie troops were sent to Afghanistan to fight and kill the enemy. They did so, now some in high places wanna charge some of them with war crimes and want to strip *all* of them of their Service medals.
Good luck trying to get anyone to go next time.

Some were sent on a night raid. They copped serious fire from a house. They fired back very seriously, killed *all* inside...including women and children, from memory.
Some boss in Army back home intended to charge them with murder.
No 1 radio host found out and went off his brain about it. His vast Conservative audience did the same.
No charges were laid. And rightly so.

Sad that No 1 radio host has retired...things are very different now without him.
