Crocodile Tears
Good morning all!
Well, it's been 24 hours since my doctor told me to stay away from Facebook and hear I am....stressing again! ( I must be addicted to Facebook!)
This time I'm going to stick my two cents in where it probably doesn't belong but it's an issue that I feel I need to address!
A brief history. I was an actor. Obviously not a great actor otherwise I'd still be "An Actor" but for reasons beyond my control, I am no longer an actor. I am school trained in the arts; college, theatre school, actual experience and real life situations. But this is not about me. It's about knowing and understanding emotions.
There are two types of actors: Those that ACT and those that BELIEVE. To quote from Charles McGraw, Acting is Believing! You can tell the difference if you look hard enough. And again, this is NOT about me and I'm not bashing anyone, just setting examples. Actors that believe, become the character they are portraying. Watching their characterizations you don't see the actor, you see the character. You know the people that I mean, THE BELIEVERS: Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Gary Oldman, Robert De Niro, Sally Field and the list goes on but I'm sure you understand.
Then, there are the celebrities and finally, there are those that ACT. Again, I'm not bashing, just trying to show the difference. The ACTORS you'll see in low budget made for cable movies. Entertaining, but just short of really believable.
So why this Expository about Acting and Actors? Because I saw something that bothered and embarrassed me the other day and I need to put my thoughts out there for you to think about and give me your feedback.......
And there it is: In seven plus years of his presidency, I have never, never seen any emotion from this man whatever. All that I've ever seen is a pompous, arrogant, dictatorial stance that makes me believe he suffers from visions of self-grandeur. But now, his reign is coming close to an end and he's pulling out the stops to push his agenda through and try to relate to the very people that he is trying to oppress......US, YOU & ME, The Citizens of the United States of America.....
I watched his speech, saw his Crocodile Tears and saw there was NO EMOTION behind those tears at all......I was embarrassed that he would make such an failed attempt to tug at our heartstrings. You could see how he hesitated, trying to bring the tears to his eyes........OMG! How stupid does he think we are? Did you fall for it, did you see it as controlling, am I just a hypocritical, pompous ass like I believe he is? Please tell me. I need to know......
Once again I thank you for reading my POSTS FROM MY HEART

Good Evening Friends, relatives and total strangers......This is today's exciting (?) episode of Sobie's Internal Conflicts. Or, words from a totally demented mind!
As I reported earlier, I've been depressed and wrestling with my conflicts, which apparently is starting an episode of physical conflicts as well.
I made an appointment with my Doctor today to discuss what the hell is going on now. Among other things (don't want to bore you with details, God knows you're probably bored with me already). Seems my depression is rearing it's ugly head, so after discussing what's going on in my world that may be contributing to my state of mind, the prescription given me by my doctor is simple: Don't go on Facebook anymore. Things you are worrying about will never happen so just "Chill"!
See, that's part of my delema, stick my head in the sand and live my life like everything is wonderful and wake up one morning under Sharia rule or pay attention, figure out a way I can help to make the changes that we so desperately need and continue to be stressed & depressed?
So, I haven't been on Facebook all day and now I'm worrying about what's going on that I'm not aware of!
Seems I can't win. Any opinions or advise would be accepted, listened to and weighed in.
Thanks,
That's all for today,
More words from the heart! Today, Wednesday, January 6,

Hello everyone. Just want to start off by wishing all a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! Apologies out to everyone as well for my allowing my blog to collect dust over the past year. I always have such great intentions and then, life happens.
Well, live has been happening a lot again. Not to spend too much time on personal matters but my health was really in question 2015. Too many issues and still not 100%. But I am working on it and very confident that 2016 will be a much healthier year for me.
Moving right along. Facebook has been killing me lately. It's not as much fun any more because of all the unrest in the world today. I start of spending a few minutes online and end up spending hours and getting extremely depressed. I'm not a big fan of the news, ever since the 60's and Viet Nam I avoid the news at all costs but Facebook has given me a wake up call and I realize that it's time to take a stand. If I, and we (the American Public) don't start reacting, we will lose everything we have. Obummer, (I've lost all respect for this man) has been destroying our Constitution and our Country a piece at a time and I'm sick of it. At this point all I can do is keep a watchful eye on things and vent my feelings online hoping that I can gain support and together, we can take the stand we need to take and take back our country!
I'm hoping that by doing this, the little that I can, I can make a difference. Please support me, follow me and share me. Up next is two posting I made on Facebook to catch up on things:
