I Can’t Believe

Perhaps, it is because I am:

BOOK OF THE WEEK

I’m not sure, but I tend to classify Buddhism as a philosophy, because it does not involve worshipping a supernatural entity. 

Even if you are of the Middle Eastern faiths (Jewish, Christian, or Muslim), I believe you can still find something in this book that you can use.

I found this an easy to read and informative book about a philosophy that goes back 2,500 years ago.

Essential Buddhism

By Jacky Sach

MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Not the best movie; but, this Netflix film was entertaining.

The Out-Laws (2023)

MUSIC OF THE WEEK

By Talking Heads

Add’l Info

“Once in a Lifetime” [was] inspired by Afrobeat musicians. David Byrne’s vocals were inspired by preachers delivering sermons, with lyrics addressing existential crisis and the unconscious. The music video, directed by Byrne and Toni Basil, has Byrne dancing erratically over footage of religious rituals.

ART  OF THE WEEK

This one is titled Mona Coffee

EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK

Chef Ronaldo 

The World Famous Chef, who has shared so many of his recipes as well as some philosophy on this blog.

For instance, summer is the time for backyard barbecues. 

The kind hearted Chef realizes that some folks may not be able to afford a grill, so he came up with this idea for those folks.

  1. “Exhaustipated,” hahaha! The hubster and I watched a fabulous movie Friday called, “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.” If nothing else, the antique cars are spectacular! (It’s set in the 1950s.)

    • Yes, I recall seeing “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”. When it comes to cars in films, Poirot, with David Suchet is set in the art deco 30’s and the cars in the 13 seasons are fantastic. As always, thank you for commenting Vera

  2. Talking Heads – a firm favourite and this is a great song. Tom Hanks used this as the title song for his movie A Hologram For The King, which I quite enjoyed. Not a blockbuster by any means, but made some very salient points about life.
