Arroe Collins Like Its Live Unplugged And Totally Uncut

Five new movies make their way into our world this weekend.  In theaters and on television.  Ryan Jay Reviews them all starting with Kajillionaire.  Not to be a review spoiler but lets just say this film even with Deborah Winger is a total swing and a miss.  You won't be getting your time back.  The same is true with Disney+'s Secret Society Of Second Born Royals.  Bu...

September 25, 2020 I am amazed at how something as simple as a passing tropical storm plays out in our moment of Now. Especially when it marches through the city long before sunrise. We decide to either make it a great day or take on the image of the heavy dark gray wet clouds. Maybe it’s because it’s 2020. Everything that comes into play seems to carry weight. A squirrel drops his acorn and it fe...

While washing in the bathroom I utter these words, "Please Lord wash yesterday from my hands and face."  I was doing this long before Covid-19.  Eight months into this pandemic and I feel like a sandstone.  More and more of us are being washed away and we're being introduced to shapes that we no longer recognize.  We aren't blind.  We can see ourselves in the mirror. &nbsp...

September 24, 2020 I’m that person that’s bothered by clutter. A house can look lived in but it can’t come across as being cluttered. Yet! I find fuel in chaos. I’m huge on time management and will still figure out ways to stuff more things onto my Google calendar. I’ll get in long deep conversations that bring chaos to the decisions being made then laugh about it when we break free. Clutter versu...

I often wonder if we mutter to ourselves.  That little sound we almost want to be clear but hold off because what's being shared is more of a smart alec's approach to reacting.  Muttering isn't always a safe place.  Not even with a best friend because somehow someway its going to be replayed.

September 23, 2020 I’m far from being a wordsmith. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be in love with words. I love to look them up in the dictionary. To study their history while looking for newer ways to use them. Words! Every morning at 4:30. The very second my eyes pop open I hear a word. It becomes my word of the day. I have no idea why it was placed in my thoughts but let’s run with it. My word t...

Multiple layers of thought.  Each breath carrying its own decision.  Being present is the only guide.  Aware of what's headed in our direction.  While maintaining a clear conscious on what's already been lived.  But is it natural or by design?  Is there anything wrong with either?  We are gifted with a daily choice.  How we activate it fuels the next expecta...

September 22, 2020 We can learn a lot from a tree. The first lesson would be patience. It’s a one hundred year old plant. Imagine facing the daily grind of having to stand there and never move your roots. The multiple storms it faces during the seasons. A tree can’t run inside while a tropical storm is passing. A tree can’t torch up the leaves on the forest floor to keep itself warm during the win...

Can we please stop asking why?  It's such a powerful word but only if the answer can be trusted.  Any news story today is crafted to fit into a targeted audience.  If you don't agree with the story then you'll find someone you trust.  I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Chris Cuomo.  Why?  I love their completely opposite and points of view.  I love talking with preach...
