the investment fund at the center of the scandal is owned by the government of malaysia , whose prime minister najib razak has been implicated in the scandal involving large sums of money . the 1mdb state investment fund was established in 2009 in part as an effort to build up financial infrastructure in kuala lumpur .

' sesame street ' has always been written on two levels , for the child and adult . we use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co - viewing with a parent or caregiver . . . . in light of the feedback we ' ve received on the katy perry music video , which was released on youtube only , we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of ' sesame street , ' which is aimed at preschoolers .

piper jaffray analyst kevin barker wrote in a note to clients friday entitled
here we go again ?
i think this film is up there with ken loach’s best . it’s powerful and raw , and of all his work i don’t know if i’ve watched something with such an emotional punch . it’s a searingly honest and brutal portrayal of ordinary people living on the breadline . i really admire how un - showy it is : it’s very simplistic in its storytelling and i think that’s the film’s power . i think no other film - maker would want to make a film about these characters . you’d pass daniel blake in the street and not notice him , and yet ken loach has turned the camera round and moved me to tears with it , and made me angry .

it was the fish that gave me hope . when poor daniel blake’s possessions were being carted off for sale ( whoops , spoiler ) to save him from starvation after he fell foul of the benefits system , the secondhand trader spotted daniel’s handmade fish mobile in the window . “i’ll give you a few quid for them , ” he said . “no ! ” said daniel . “they’re not for sale . ” ( sentimental value you see ; not everything has a cash value . ) this was the point at which i thought things might change for poor db . he’s discovered that something he likes doing – woodwork ; he’s a carpenter , after all – has monetary value ; he has a saleable skill . he could flog his fish to the secondhand shop , or maybe sell them on the street , the way his neighbour does stolen trainers , maybe diversifying into noah’s arks . and perhaps he could use a bit of child labour , courtesy of the displaced london children he befriends . but nope ; the moment passes , just like it does when one of the men he gave his cv to offers him a job . might it have been possible for him to say that , sorry , he can’t do heavy lifting , but he can do a bit of woodwork , or stuff that doesn’t involve hard labour ? he doesn’t , even though he’s just finished a nice bookshelf for his london friend . for daniel , it’s a building site or bust .

markets fairly valued with room for growth , says pro . here ' s what the experts see
before the 2016 presidential election , a longtime republican opposition researcher mounted an independent campaign to obtain emails he believed were stolen from hillary clinton’s private server , likely by russian hackers .
in conversations with members of his circle and with others he tried to recruit to help him , the gop operative , peter w . smith , implied he was working with retired lt . gen . mike flynn , at the time a senior adviser to then - candidate donald trump .
“he said , ‘i’m talking to michael flynn about this—if you find anything , can you let me know ? ’” said eric york , a computer - security expert from atlanta who searched hacker forums on mr . smith’s behalf for people who might have access to the emails .
emails written by mr . smith and one of his associates show that his small group considered mr . flynn and his consulting company , flynn intel group , to be allies in their quest .
a trump campaign official said that mr . smith didn’t work for the campaign , and that if mr . flynn coordinated with him in any way , it would have been in his capacity as a private individual . the white house declined to comment .

complaints about katy perry ' s cleavage - flaunting dress caused the singer ' s guest appearance to be cancelled .
but this isn ' t the first time the popular pbs children ' s show has gotten bad press .
the show ' s 43 - year history has been riddled with scandals , ranging from the more recent katy perry appearance debacle to the long - time rumors about bert and ernie ' s sexual orientation .
according to an npr interview with the week ' s dale hrabi in 2009 , original episodes from 1969 to the early ' 70s are labeled
adult only
upon purchase and were meant to reflect the era .
in the 80s , the show was forced to address mr . hooper ' s death .
after 9 / 11 , bert was featured in a placard next to bin laden .
poor bert just can ' t get a break . in 2001 , only weeks after the september 11 attacks , a placard featuring bert next to osama bin laden was circulated during a bangladeshi rally .
the image made it appear as if bert had joined the taliban . rally members got the image from the now - defunct website
bert is evil ,
that showed bert as the criminal behind such acts as jfk ' s assassination .
brad fitzgerald , who created the now - infamous picture , made the bin laden - bert image to joke that the muppet had involvement with various acts of terrorism . according to abc news ,
a bangladeshi poster shop didn ' t realize the image was a joke when they printed up 2 , 000 posters for anti - american protesters .
in 2002 , kami joined the cast as the world ' s first hiv - positive puppet .
in this video , president bill clinton and kami appear in a psa about hiv / aids .
tensions have long existed in israel between the jewish and arab communities , where arabs make up about one - fifth of the population but complain about being treated as inferior to the rest of the country ' s citizens .
in 2009 , grouchy news network ( gnn ) and pox news mocked cnn and fox .
according to the week , after fox complained , a pbs representative said that although the parody was
too good to resist , it should have been resisted .
then in 2010 , katy perry ' s guest appearance was cut due to her semi - revealing dress .
britain’s best - loved soap was plunged into mayhem last week when the popular actor was unmasked as the rapper behind hate - filled rape lyrics .
his sacking is just the latest in a long line of problems to plague the cobbles following the arrests of william roache , 81 , and michael le vell , 48 , over allegations of child abuse which they vigorously deny .
stars were also rocked when michelle collins , 51 , said she was leaving . and four female cast members have come under scrutiny after being uncovered by channel 4 for breaching advertising standards authority guidelines .
now corrie bosses have told all cast members to be on their best behaviour as they introduce a zero tolerance policy .
a source on the soap said : “chris’ sacking couldn’t have come at a worse time for the show .
“the last 12 months have seen more problems for the corrie cast in real life than has been seen by viewers on screen . a crisis meeting was called by senior itv executives after chris’ unveiling and the cast have now been warned to shape up or ship out .
“bosses are desperate to rescue the soap’s ruined reputation and have told cast members to be on their best behaviour . ”
the source added : “chris wasn’t just sacked for his own actions but to show the rest of the cast that bad behaviour won’t be tolerated in any way .
“everyone has been made aware that no one character is more important than the soap or its reputation .
in the last year , roache’s character ken barlow and le vell’s part playing kevin webster have been written out following the allegations of sex offences .
“on screen the show is going from strength to strength , thanks mainly to some wonderful storylines . but behind the scenes it’s in complete crisis”
a “deeply ashamed” fountain has admitted bosses had no option but to fire him .
it continues to be britain’s most - watched soap , increasing its lead over its main rival eastenders .
the source added : “on screen the show is going from strength to strength , thanks mainly to some wonderful storylines .

the master and his wolf  ( currently a working title ) is being produced through lerner’s london - based roast beef productions banner and has already completed its filming in malaysia , interviewing many of those who , against an aggressive clampdown on free speech , called for the parliamentary inquiry into the state fund 1mdb and reports that more than $ 1 billion found its way into razak ' s personal accounts .
the doc ' s producers , who began their investigations in 2015 , are now extending the shoot to the u . s . , switzerland , luxembourg , hong kong , singapore and abu dhabi , where probes into 1mdb’s finances have since been opened . last year , the fbi and the u . s . department of justice began examining goldman sachs’ role in the affair . in february , according to bloomberg , u . s . investigators subpoenaed the bank ' s recently departed partner who handled deals for the fund .
in the master and his wolf , we have a gripping story with a cast of fantastical characters , movie stars , prime ministers and a system of money laundering , with direct links between malaysia via saudi and abu dhabi companies which goes right to the heart of hollywood’s elite , ” lerner told the hollywood reporter .
low , who received a
special thanks
in the film’s credits , has been missing since the inquiry opened into his dealings with 1mdb and is reported to be in taiwan ( one of the few countries that doesn’t have extradition arrangements with the u . s . or malaysia ) .
lerner’s roast beef has a considerable track record in backing films that dive right into the heart of contentious and contemporary subject matters .
to hell and back again , directed by war photographer - turned - filmmaker danfung dennis , picked up two sundance awards and an academy award nomination in 2011 for chronicling the emotional and difficult transition of a badly injured u . s marine from the battlefield of afghanistan back to civilian life . two years later , another oscar nomination — alongside three emmys and the ida ' s best feature award — went to the square , jehane noujaim ' s netflix doc chronicling egypt ' s turbulent recent history as told through the eyes of those on the streets during the deadly uprisings in 2011 and 2013 . and pussy riot : a punk prayer , co - directed by lerner and maxim pozdorovkin , told the story of the russian feminist protest rock band amid their controversial trial and conviction in 2012 , winning a sundance special jury award .
it was revealed last year that roast beef was working with noujaim on a doc lifting the lid on the 2014 cyberattack that resulted in sony ' s amy pascal stepping down .
given its development at a time when u . s . law enforcers are potentially closing in , master and his wolf may well offer a behind - the - scenes examination of an event that could have a seismic impact from asia to hollywood .
“because of this historically massive corruption , the malaysian government is on the brink of disaster while two suspicious murders with alleged links to the fraud remain shrouded in secrecy ,
added lerner .
and all for what ? greed , celebrity obsession and the ambition to stand on a red carpet . stories don ' t get much bigger .

from left , tim goodman , joe weisberg , joel fields , keri russell and matthew rhys at sunday ' s panel discussion .
keri russell , matthew rhys and co - showrunners joel fields and joe weisberg revealed the story behind a vein - popping scene in a dramatic fight between russell ' s elizabeth and daughter paige in season four .
with just two seasons left of the americans , fans of the fx series about cold war - era soviet espionage are eager to know how it will end .
co - showrunners joel fields and joe weisberg remained tight - lipped about specific developments planned for seasons five and six during the hollywood reporter ' s tv talks panel discussion with chief tv critic tim goodman but they did discuss , in broad terms , how they were approaching the end of the critically acclaimed show ( which earned its first emmy nominations in major categories this year ) . and star matthew rhys was full of humorous suggestions for a dramatic finale .
i think the last scene is [ the couple ' s fbi agent neighbor ] stan beeman ( noah emmerich ) going , ' wait . they were what ? ' ,
rhys quipped .
russell also prompted rhys to reveal his other idea , which involves a connection between the couple ' s teenage daughter paige ( holly taylor ) to one of the most famous political sex scandals of the late ' 90s .
paige changes her name to monica lewinsky ,
rhys said to laughs and murmuring from the audience .
in all seriousness , fields revealed that they were currently shooting the first two episodes in season five , which is set to air in 2017 , and have written scripts for that season ' s first seven episodes as well as the next two full stories and have everything sketched out for the rest of that season in great detail . he and weisberg also said that the fifth season is a fresh start in some ways .
we talk about this almost every day that we ' ve been working on season five that there is a feeling that we ' re starting over ,
weisberg said .
not really with you guys [ to russell and rhys ] and the family , but with a lot of the operations you ' ve run , that those paid off in season four , so we started building those fresh .
fields added that the fifth season
feels a bit different .
we ' re leaning into this longer storytelling and there is an element of that that feels so fresh and liberating ,
he said .
even characters in the same story , there are new beginnings for that .
later he said that the fact that they ' d already mapped out all of season five allows them the freedom to rearrange the timing of certain plot points .
because we write so far in advance , we actually have the opportunity to be more improvisatory and that may sound bizarre ,
fields explained .
what that allows us to do is be rewriting all of that simultaneously , so if a better idea comes up for episode eight that could be set up effectively in episode two , we can go ahead and do that and make it look like we planned it .
indeed , fields and weisberg , who ' ve made it clear in recent interviews that they have a sense of how the show will wrap up , reiterated that they ' ve had
ideas about how [ the show ] would end
and started talking to fx about those . but , they were appreciative of the fact that the network would let them end the show the way they want .
weisberg also offered a vague but detailed tease for an upcoming setting , explaining that they ' re building a set indoors in brooklyn for an outdoor action scene with rhys and russell ' s characters , with giant styrofoam pieces that were about a third of the height of the ceiling being painted and assembled to look like something different . what that backdrop will be remains unknown but rhys went for another political joke , quipping ,
you would believe you were in the rose garden of the white house .
the writers and stars also revealed the story behind a key scene in a dramatic fight between russell ' s elizabeth jennings and paige in season four . furious with paige for not seeming to recognize the dangerous situation she created for her family , elizabeth makes the peril they ' re in clear as she orders paige to do everything she can to prevent disaster from occurring . during the scene , in a close - up on russell ' s face , a vein can be seen popping out of her forehead , something that both fields and russell were glad was left in the final cut .
rhys , who directed that episode , said that his editor and another producer , both women , suggested they digitally remove the vein from that scene but fields insisted they not do that .
i felt very passionately because we really , really try not to do cgi on actors ' faces and to let them look how they look ,
fields explained .
it seems like maybe not the best thing to send our daughters and other women images that aren ' t real . in this case also the performance was extraordinary and deep and rich ,
he added .
ultimately rhys was told to ask russell what she wanted to do but they decided to just drop it and leave the vein in there .
i think we dealt with this , uncharacteristically , by never talking about it again ,
fields explained . but it turns out that russell would ' ve wanted the vein in the shot anyway .
he added ,
keri came in to do some adr and as i recall , [ to her ] you said , ' oh , i love the vein in that scene . that looks really great . '
like why wouldn ' t you want ? you ' re mad . when you ' re mad , your face gets crazy ,
russell said .
why would i want to be a pretty version of that ? ' i want to be mad but pretty . '
russell and rhys displayed an ease with one another that the real - life couple , who recently welcomed their first son , often exhibits .
joking of the aforementioned fight scene , rhys said ,
that was a very simple scene to direct because keri was pregnant at the time , so i just said pretend like you ' re talking to me .
and when russell reiterated what she ' s often said about how she ' s most fascinated by the marital themes in the show , rhys merely added ,
i agree .
that ' s the mark of a marriage — a successful one ,
he offered as an explanation for his agreeable response .

one of things that will make caillou ' s holiday movie appealing to younger viewers is that caillou is a realistic four - year - old , whose experiences and feelings are easy to relate to . when you ' re only four years old , everything is new and exciting , whether it ' s going to the post office to mail a christmas card , or playing in the snow outside . caillou ' s holiday movie captures that very well . caillou does have some
difficult
moments , like when he has the idea to play in the snow before breakfast , and is disappointed when his parents tell him that he has to wait ; for a four - year - old , a few minutes can seem like an eternity . another very true - to - life moment is when caillou and his mom bring some old toys to the fire station to be donated . when one of the firefighters repairs caillou ' s broken toy truck , caillou suddenly doesn ' t want to give it up any more .

kids love this movie - they ' ve watched it again and again . better than barbie .

in fact , all of caillou ' s holiday movie is imbued with positive messages . one of the most important is the idea that learning new things is fun and exciting : caillou eagerly anticipates hearing about christmas in other countries , and learns how to say
merry christmas
in spanish . he also practices counting , helps with making christmas cookies , and learns about how a post office works .

my 2 1 / 2 year - old daughter absolutely loves caillou , so she was very excited to get this to watch during the holiday season . she ' s already watched it nearly 10 times , and i ' m sure she will watch it year - round . it is a great movie that children can really relate to , and teaches children about different cultures , customs , traditions , having good values , strong families , and friendships . i would recommend this movie .
rosie ( french name : mousseline ) - caillou ' s little sister . a redhead with a tinge of mischief , she sometimes gets caillou into trouble , but is a good girl . rosie is about two years younger than caillou . in later seasons of the series , she becomes more talkative and independent .
mr . washington - a bus driver . apparently the same driver that drove the bus caillou ' s dad rode to school many years ago .

in french , caillou usually means
pebble
or
stone
, but it can also mean
bald head
, which was most likely the writer ' s intention . the official caillou website answers the common question
why is caillou bald ?
by explaining that the original storybook character of caillou was much younger than the television character , and like many very young children , had no hair .
at an hour and 15 minutes , caillou ' s holiday movie can be watched either in one sitting or in several segments , depending on the attention span of the kids in the audience . the one drawback from an adult point of view is the lack of a stronger storyline : the basic premise of
caillou ' s experiences at christmas time
will undoubtedly interest four - and five - year - olds more than their parents . even so , it ' s still fun to watch : the animated characters are extremely charming , the story ' s message is positive , and the music is cute and catchy . parents should consider this dvd to be highly recommended .

“caillou’s holiday movie” : honestly ? i don’t get the appeal of caillou . i’ve heard all the arguments for the little guy . primary colors . morality lessons about everything from how to treat others to how not to run in the park wearing sandals ( okay , so the latter isn’t really a morality lesson ; it’s more of a common sense one , i . e . what idiot runs in sandals ? ) . music . short episodes to mirror the short attention span of toddlers , preschoolers et al . teachers praise it . cara loves it . and natalie already recognizes it . but “caillou’s holiday movie” is an exercise in excess . i can take one , two or even three vignettes at a time . but a full length movie made up of a dozen of them , all tied together by a singular , flimsy thread , i . e . caillou’s desire for santa to bring him a toy space station ? come on . it’s too much . and the songs in it ? sadly infectious . they pollute your brain like a virus until one morning , when you’re getting ready for work , you find yourself humming “bent and tiny christmas tree” to yourself in the shower . a lesser man would hang himself as soon as that happened but me ? i persevered . that’s not to say i didn’t want to off myself when it happened . i simply chose not to .
a few special features are included here , evidently designed for the young viewer rather than his parents . the songs

it ' s a very special holiday for caillou when he learns about christmas traditions around the world and the importance of giving and sharing . when caillou wonders just how many days there are left until christmas , his daddy gives him a christmas calendar featuring holiday traditions from countries around the world in every window . caillou also goes tobogganing , learns how to ski and plays hanukah games with his good friend leo . caillou also gives away some of his toys when he learns about children around the world that are in need of toys such as his old ones he no longer plays with . caillou ' s little sister rosie also gets in on the christmas fun . when mommy offers to help rosie with making gifts , rosie decides to try it on her own , with hilarious results . featuring several songs performed by the cast of the movie ( including

the writers and animators seem to have been successful and the result is a great story with beautiful musical interludes that kids will enjoy watching . there ' s a lot to be learned about holiday traditions from around the world , much of it coming from a twelve days of christmas calendar that caillou receives as present from daddy . although there are no puppet segments , most of the best characters are present in the story , including some favorite guest characters that are nice references to past stories . fans of rosie will also enjoy the movie and the special way in which she surprises everyone in caillou ' s family .
s off as cloying and forced , despite having days upon animated days to anecdotally explain holiday traditions from around the world , as well as the biblical inspiration behind christmas / nativity story . and while that ' s all grand and swell , it results in
caillou ' s holiday movie
boasting a plot arc over the span of a month ' s time . yes folks . . . caillou gets up , he has breakfast , goes to school , has a conflict or learns a lesson , comes home , and learns a new historical or traditional fact , every day , for the entire advent season , all in a 90 minute film ! doesn ' t that sound exciting ? ! the routine is perhaps comforting to preschoolers and small children , but to parents . . . we already live a routine that looks a lot like this , don ' t we ? when we watch movies , or go on dates , when we take a vacation or go camping , it ' s all about escapism isn ' t it ? ? and yes , i fully realize
caillou ' s movie
is not aimed at my cynical adult heart , but let ' s face it , who ' s watching and hopefully guiding alongside our kids every day ? all that being said , your son or daughter will enjoy . it ' s certainly not painful in the way that say ,
thomas and the magic railroad
was ( worst . kids . movie . ever ! ) , but it is definitely unengaging , repetitive fodder that your children likely won ' t be able to sit through more than twice .
we have lots of children ' s movies in our home . . . lots . . . and a pre - schooler who ' s a huge caillou fan ( just ask what i ' m doing on ebay at present . . .
oh , you know . . . shopping for obscure items to complete a caillou birthday party !
) . so chances are , if you ' re looking for this flick , you already know the drill : unelegant animation with a sweet - if - annoying protagonist , often with the
valuable / practical life lesson
underlying each episode . and really , that ' s what you ' ll get in
caillou ' s holiday movie .
if your child enjoys christmas / hannukah ( do you know any who don ' t ? ) and * loves * caillou , chances they ' ll likely be thrilled ( which honestly is the important part ) . but you will not . why ? because the format for caillou works best in 10 - minute increments , not a feature - length film . it come
caillou was designed primarily for toddlers aged between 2–6 years old and was created by child developmental psychologists .
when winter comes to caillou ' s house , this curious 4 - year - old tackles all kinds of big boy activities like helping daddy shovel snow , making holiday presents for his family and even discovering how other little boys and girls around the world celebrate the season ! filled with magical moments seen through a small child ' s eyes , this delightful story will enchant your entire family .

the puppet segments are used only on the pbs telecasts of caillou , in order to fill the show ' s time slot . while caillou has slots for commercials , and the english teletoon shows ads during the breaks , pbs does not show paid advertising during the program . some newer shows do not include puppet segments .
three soundtracks are available for caillou ' s holiday movie , each in dolby 2 . 0 : the default english , the original french , and a spanish track . the dvd handles the different language tracks very well . the language can be changed through the options menu or on the fly , and changing the language choice converts all the menus to that language as well . overall , i was pleased with the english voice acting , although the original french narrator is a bit better ( the english narrator has a slightly condescending tone ) .
these are all fantastic new releases and are available at stores near you or online now ! click the picture of each movie to be taken directly to an online site to purchase . as i’ve told you before , we often use new kids movie releases as rewards for our kids at the end of the week when they’ve filled their chore charts up ! we pop popcorn , eat candy and watch a great family movie together . these are all great family friendly picks for the week !

caillou is a children ' s television show based on the books by christine l ' heureux and illustrator hélène desputeaux . many of the stories in the animated version begin with a grandmother ( who is also the show ' s narrator ) introducing the story to her grandchildren , then reading the story out of the book . caillou first aired on canada ' s teletoon channel in 1998 ; it later made its us debut on pbs on september 4 , 2000 . the action of the story takes place in canada , though that is never explicitly referenced in the dialogue .
this is the first time in which caillou is voiced by annie bovaird since his previous voice actor jaclyn litensky died in a car crash .
when caillou was naming whose christmas cards were whose , he didn ' t mention his best friend leo , likely because leo is jewish .
incidentally , the above avi file is a scene from the movie “puss in boots . ” “puss in boots” is one of cara’s favorite flicks , currently . it ranks up there with “tangled” and “caillou’s holiday movie” as one of her own , personal all time greats . if you haven’t seen it yet , i highly recommend it . even if you , like me , couldn’t stand the “shrek” movies . talk about ideas based solely on excessive flatulence and bo ( with a little fairy tale mash - up thrown in for good measure ) . imo , the “shrek” movies represent a nadir in the animated feature film that has blessedly been redeemed in recent years by movies like “how to train your dragon” and “the princess and the frog . ” not to mention “toy story 3” and “brave , ” the latter of which was not perfect , but was definitely better than anything in the “shrek” franchise . i’m hoping that trend continues with “monsters university” this summer , the sequel to another of cara’s most requested movies .

any hour long “dora the explorer” special : it could be “dora and the enchanted forest part one , ” “part two” or “part infinity . ” it could be “dora and the snow princess . ” if it’s more than 28 minutes long it’s automatically one of her favorite movies . unless it’s “dora rocks” or “dora’s fantastic gymnastics . ” both are only 30 minutes long and both are repeated viewing in the marsh household .

as i sit here tonight with the soundtrack to an incredible movie playing in the background ( hans zimmer is so very , very good for the soul ) i type these words with a sly grin upon my face beneath my bushy , salt and pepper beard . why ? because i’m at peace . it’s nothing concrete… substantial . like i said , my life isn’t much different than it was a year ago . but i feel it . i felt it at my daughter’s thanksgiving feast today and i felt it as i watched my girls play in the snow outside this afternoon . i felt it when i closed my eyes and took a brief , half hour nap this afternoon and when i woke up and started baking for thanksgiving tomorrow–pumpkin bread and corn bread from scratch ; i accept no substitute . i felt it watching “caillou’s holiday movie” for the first of many times this season earlier and i felt it when i read my girls their nightly story , tucked them in , kissed them on their respective foreheads , told them “goodnight , ” “sleep tight” and “i love you . ” it was gul’darned serendipitous , friends . like now as the composition “stay” soars .

“puss in boots” : next to “finding nemo , ” this is my favorite of her favorites . how many of you reading this saw “django unchained ? ” think an old - school , modernized western like “django” but without the excessive use of the n - word , a blood splattered plantation or leo dicaprio’s totally underrated performance ( not that i minded the academy giving the oscar to christoph waltz but seriously ? dicaprio and sam jackson were both better in their respective roles ) . less violence , too . that’s “puss in boots . ” it’s worth it , if only for the dance battle . trust me : you’ll understand better when you see it .

and that , guys ? that’s about all i’ve got for today . i’d like to thank “random musings of a pseudo - madman version 2 . 0” for giving me an outlet to write that is only loosely linked to
billy - billy is clementine ' s older brother . he is usually seen playing in a band with his friends or playing in sports . his age is unknown , but he appears to be at least 12 years old .
i could type a laundry list of the things i’m thankful for this year . i could . but i won’t . because really ? there’s only one way to explain it without filling up kilobytes upon megabytes of text here on wordpress . i think i’ve mentioned this before and if i have , sorry for repeating myself . yet if i haven’t ? well heck , now’s as good a time as any . i’ll admit : i’ve been stymied on children of endworld lately . again , not for lack of wanting to work on it . life , man . it just gets in the way sometimes . but there’s the scene in children that i’ve always looked forward to writing . i call it “the thanksgiving scene . ” it happens around page 300 of 400 or so and without giving anything away , it’s the scene where my hero , william macnuff is reunited with his brethren in totality for the first time . past , present and future : all intermingled , as some in endworld would say . all one .
okay , so i edited it down a bit . there were a few “tells” in the passage and i don’t want to give away what’s coming . but that statement ? “i’m thankful for now ? ” that’s really the crux of it for me . let’s face it , gang : you never know what tomorrow will hold . carpe diem , baby . i’d like to think that i’ll be here in the morning to see my wife off to work and watch the thanksgiving day parade with my minions . i’d like to think that i’ll be eating store bought turkey at my mom’s house tomorrow afternoon and thereafter watching the eagles beat the stuffing ( pun intended ) out of the cowboys . but who knows ? anything is possible . if life has taught me anything over the last 39 plus years it’s to expect the unexpected . and if the world ends sometime between now and when i wake up on thanksgiving morning to a snow - bleached world and a bright , blue sky at least i’ll be able to say that i did . i lived for now . i’d urge you all to do the same . that , friends , is my thanksgiving wish for you . seize your respective days and make them your b * tches and b * stards . booyakasha . respect .
“finding nemo” : who doesn’t love this movie ? lovable characters ? check . adventure ? check . a completely unheralded , burgeoning romance between marlin and dory ? check , check , check - skee . oh , come on . you didn’t see that when you watched it ? i’m sorry if i ruined your childhood . me , personally ? i’m holding out hope that the forthcoming sequel , “finding dory” ends with her and marlin tying the knot . maybe in a ceremony presided over by bruce the shark . remember , “fish are friends , not food . ”

that i’ve forgotten what it feels like to write about something other than it . that’s no reflection on my state of mind with regards to it , i . e . i’m not exacerbated with it . quite the contrary : i’m quite pleased with how it’s doing so far , and the reception that it’s gotten . mind you , it’s only received one review ( booyakasha , anonymous ; respect ) –a positive one , i should add–and i have no idea what all the other people that have bought it and are reading it think of it . but i’m optimistic . i’ve always been pleased with it , even back when it was a 200 page ( and some change ; i think the original draft was 207 pages ) , fictional autobiography of my life . will others be ? that remains the ten thousand dollar question , guys . pleased or not , i did my part . my “due diligence ” if you will . regardless of the reception it gets , i published what i felt was a good novel . i’m planning on writing two more . and some other stuff , too , but that “stuff ? ” i’m not going to show that hand yet . as philip henslowe said in “shakespeare in love” :

good evening , afternoon or morning , fellow sh * theads . happy thanksgiving eve to all of my fellow denizens of this side of the proverbial wormhole of existence . it’s been a while since i last wrote… almost too long . for those of you that have been waiting patiently for a new blog entry i’m sorry . thank you for your tolerance of me and my inconsistency as a writer , lately . as before , i assure you that it’s not for lack of wanting . i want to write every day . but sometimes , life gets in the way and this aspect of me has to take a backseat to other aspects of me . husband , father , friend and working stiff . not to mention laundry , chores , homework and playing princesses with my minions . birthday parties , holidays… you name it . i do what i must . but tonight ? tonight it’s me , my trusty old laptop , the soundtrack to “interstellar” and a blank page . and it wouldn’t be thanksgiving without another of my yearly “what thanksgiving means to me” entries .
