Valentines Day: Hearts, Cupids, Love And A Word From The Boss

Valentines Day is here soon. (In two days as I write this)

Here is this Holiday's  history from  History.com.

If you are like me you are now repeating a thought-loop: Don't forget to order those roses. And on those roses there is always either (on that small Heart-splattered card) or on one of those  metallic (Frequently heart-shaped) balloons, at least one Cupid.

And it goes without saying that Valentines day cards themselves are crammed with Cupids and Hearts.

Ten theories on why all the Hearts from ListServe here.


And as for the chubby cherub? Holiday Insights has a great overview on Cupid here.

Valentines Day is a holiday that celebrates Love of course but a very special kind of Love-Eros.



From Snipview here is a diagram of the Greek Types of Love:

In the realm of this kind of Romantic Love there are many theories on how it works:
Here are how five different Psychologists look at it.

And to top off this post on Valentines Day, A special Heart-warming Message from everybody's favorite Boss From Hell: Nightmare Boss:





Happy Valentines Day!

The Strife Pack Commune: An Alternative Way to Live or The Kingdom of Rikki?

Rikki "Alpha" Strife

Cori "Alpha" Strife

Over the centuries there have been many attempts to live in a "New Way."
Many of us have felt at times that the way things are are not quite right. We speak of the Rat Race and the Hamster Wheel. Certainly there are pressures in society as well as the burdens of  thousands of individual decisions.
But is there another way?
Can an individual absorb him or herself into a group and find true freedom?
Can this be done without the destruction of personality?
Can individuals band together without one emerging as the absolute ruler?
Can a group community evolve without devolving to a Cult?
It was with these questions that I traveled to New Mexico with my producing partner James Quattrochi to spend some time with "The Strife Pack Commune," with the goal of developing a Reality show.
The experience was both fascinating and terrifying for me.

This short documentary will bring you into a whole new world.

I'm a big fan of this show.
Steven Van Zandt is terrific as Frank Tagliano. 
So I'm excited that Season Three starts today (Nov 21st) on Netflix. At least that's what the Billboard said on LaBrea-
Of course that means the whole season appears magically on my Roku all at once.

The Strange Drowning of Elisa Lam

Enhanced Security Cam Footage of Elisa Lam's final moments

It's been almost two years since the  body of Elisa Lam was discovered in the rooftop water tank of a Los Angeles hotel that had seen better days.

The Story is shocking:
A young Canadian woman tragically dead-
A hotel with a serial killer and suicide-laden history-
The consumption of human remains-
A malfunctioning elevator-
Apparent strange behavior-
There has been much speculation online, much of it focused on the possibility of her being murdered by a ghost or some kind of malevolent force.
from Ghost Diaries.
 and Art Bell
Vigilant Citizen

Others focus on the genuine and down-to-earth Human tragedy.

Elisa Lam just before her death.

More:
From the LA Times
And USA Today.

We'll probably never know the specifics of what happened. But what we do know is that  this young woman's life was cut tragically short. And her family has suffered a loss from which they will never fully recover.
Rest In Peace Elisa.
