Sammy & Family will Not turn a blinds eye to animal cruelty going on around the world

We don't turn a blinds eye to animal cruelty going on around the world

Good evening everyone. We have a lot of new friends in the Everybody Loves Sammy community and also now with “The Good News Channel” — We are happy and positive people in today’s times.  With that said, I want to say that Sammy & Family will never turns a blinds eye to the animal cruelty we see around the world.

We will Never forgive or forget what is going on with Pilot Whales in the‪#‎FaroeIslands‬, Dolphins in ‪#‎TaijiJapan‬, Dogs and Cats in ‪#‎YulinChina‬, Harp Seals in ‪#‎Canada, Bulls in ‪#‎Spain‬ and so on and so and so on and so on.

I will further the point by saying the people who participate in these horrors are equally as guilty as the people and groups that organize them.

My name is Scott Smith, a man of no real importance. While i am in this life I will make sure these acts of evil are called what they really are. These animals and marine life are experiencing a 21 Century Holocaust right here, right now.

Shame on the policy makers of these countries for allowing such atrocities to take place. Money is important, we all know that. But its not this important. There was a time where is seemed acceptable to exterminate Jewish people, or to have black people as slaves and treat them like cattle, or genocides in Rwanda and the slaughtering of American Indians. But it was Not OK, it never was OK and never will be OK.

We look back on those events now and say we can’t believe people could be so vicious and cruel, and yet they’re doing it again ten times worse to animals.

Let me close with two quotes from Dr. Harp Seal.

1. “The path to a better world flows through the humane treatment of all animals.”

2. “Animal equality, a tireless journey, there will be no retreat”

Sincerely, Scott Evan Smith

The Vice Principal Story and My Father — Look Out

Vice Principal of Junior High and My father Good evening friends.  So tonight by the populous vote I am going to share the story of my late fatheand my Vice Principal of Junior High School in 1982 when I was 12 years old.

As i have mentioned many times, school and education was not my thing.  I also have mentioned that my father had a different grading system for school than school did.  If you got an “F” you are were “Funny” — When you got a “D” it stood for “Dandy” — When you got a “C” it stood for “Courageous” —  If you got a “B” you were a “Bastard” — and if you got an “A” you were an “_sshole”

Now I know that sounds crazy, but that was his grading system and that’s all we gave a _hit about. Nonetheless this was obviously a contradiction to the Junior high’s grading system.  I have mentioned many times I was not a good student throughout grade school, meaning all grade schools.  The funny thing is though, I was not a trouble maker, I was a nice kid who did poorly in school.

And yes, The Vice Principal and my fatherwhen I was 11, 12 and 13 I would run through the hallways squeezing girl’s boobies.  Come on, cut a kid a break, there are worse things a kid could do.  Anyway I had many run ins with the Dean and Vice Principal of Junior High School, not so much for the boobies phase, but more cause i was never in classes, was learning nothing,  and was the most hyper person on all of long island.

So the Vice principal calls me in one day to his office which was like the the tenth time at this point.  I said to him; “What did i do now?”  He said to me; “Its not what you did, it’s what you don’t do or won’t do. What am i going to do with you?”  I said to him; “As long as I’m Not hurting anyone or disturbing classes while  they are going on, does it really matter?”  This is when it got ugly. The Vice Principal was an ex Physical Education teacher, I think that is the case for a lot of them around the country to be honest.  Nonetheless, he was 6 feet 4 inches, ripped like a brick wall and about 50 years old.  So he responded to my rhetorical question with a question; “Are you being a wise guy with me?”  I said; “No, I’m not, I’m being serious, I’m not bothering anyone, so I really don’t see a problem here”

Friends I don’t know if you ever saw the movie Scanners from 30 years ago about the guy who’s head spins around when he gets mad, but this was the scene that I found myself in.  He grabbed my shirt or sweatshirt from each side with each hand, slammed me against the wall.  Now again, this guy was 6 feet tall and 4 inches.  I was 4 feet and 11 inches and looked that guy “Tattoo” from the show “Fantasy Island”  back in the late 1970’s, early 1980’s.  Anyway the vice principal did not take it further than that and I eventually left unharmed.

When I got home my father realized I looked white as a ghost.  He asked me what happened at school today ?  I said; “Nothing really, I just had a tough day”  — He then asked me again which meant, “spill the beans or pay the price”

So I told him what happened.  The next morning which happen to fall on a Wednesday he drove me to school.  He parked the car and walked me into school.  I said; ‘ Thanks for the ride dad, I will see you later”  — He said; “Take me the Vice Principal’s Office, I want to talk to him”  — This was a lose lose for me at this point.  So I took him the Vice Principal’s Office and the secretary immediately got up from her desk and said; “he is busy on a conference call.”  — My father completely ignored her and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me directly into his office.

The Vice Principal was on the phone and kind of smiled and waved us off as if he will be with us in 5 minutes or so.  While he continued to talk on the phone my father grabbed one of the two chairs on the other side of the desk that visitors would normally sit in, and he placed one of them under the doorknob so nobody can re-enter the room including his secretary.

Next thing you know the Vice Principal looked up from the phone call he was on in complete shock.  He said to the person on the other end of the phone; “I’m going to have to call you back”  — He said to my father; “Is there a reason you locked us inside this room?”

So he grabbed my arm dragging me right in from of his desk and threw me into the other chair that was still there from the one he locked the door with and said to the Vice Principal; ” I want you to slam my kid against the wall like you did yesterday.”  — The Vice Principal said, ” look, it was just a little altercation and everything is OK now” — My father said, “It not OK with me” — My father then proceeded from the visiting side of his desk to grab him from the tie on the other side of the desk, and pulled him onto our side right over the desk.

Friends at this point, I honestly thought the SWAT team was going to come slamming through the windows and kill both of us.  Once my father had him on our side of his desk, he said:” I am going to ask you to grab him like you did yesterday for the last time. If you don’t, I am going to slam my own kid up against the wall as if you did it and take it out on you anyway”  — The Vice Principal was about have a heart attack.  So he apologized profusely over and over again.  My father said; “Apology Not accepted, and Scott will be out of school today which was a Wednesday, plus Thursday and Friday,  and I don’t want to hear any shit either”   — The VP was like; ‘No problem Mr. Smith, its always a good thing to take time off and relax.”  My father was so pissed, he said; “Who said anything about relaxing, my company has back to back softball games in Central Park against competing real estate companies and we want Scott to place for us.”

Friends the Vice Principal was looking around like as if he were inside a nightmare and could not wake up, or if he was now actually living in the “Twilight Zone”  —  Needless to say, he never bothered me again and I continued a string of grades called “Dandy’s”

So friends, that is the story of my father and my Vice Principal in Junior High.  Over the next two weeks I will share the story of my father and his girlfriend while he was at college in Alabama, and then I will share the story of when he caught me smoking Pot in 1983. #NightmareOnSmithStreet.

Welcome to the weekend on Friday July 24th, 2015

Saturday Morning love with the munchkins

Good evening friends.  It’s great to be here with everyone.  Friday showed up right on time as it always it does. We hope everyone had a great week.  If you didn’t, try it to let go. You can always pick the war back up on Monday.  The weekends are to rejuvenate not to ruminate, but to rejuvenate.

My motto years ago was if the week ended poorly, make sure to ruin the weekend.  So when Monday came around again, i would say to myself; “Thank God its Monday” so I can correct the way last week ended.  That is a Perfect example of blurred mental vision.  I bring this up in case anyone is caught in that kind of thinking, its totally false.  Its the complete opposite.  If Life or work kicked your butt last week, you better soak up some joy on the weekend and level the playing field in your favor.

OK, let’s kick tonight off with two positive notions.

1. Its important to say what you mean and mean what you say.  Otherwise don’t say it because it sends out mixed signals and you end up with the short side of the stick.

2. “What counts in the ring is what you can do after you’re exhausted.”  — Muhammad Ali —   #TheGreatest

Hydration

Hydration

Good morning friends.  Another gift today on July 24th, 2015.  Good, bad or indifferent its great to be alive today. And besides, its Friday, that’s a win right there in itself.

Sammy came by to wish everyone a great today and to remind everyone to stay hydrated.  Drinking water is so easy and yet I personally am always challenged to stay hydrated.  Its like showering, I know i have to do it, but i hate it, lol.

OK, lets kick this Friday off with two positive notions;

1. After a long week of work it can be nice to rest on a Friday night. There is no obligation with the universe to beat the hell out of yourself on a Friday night. Took me many many years to learn that one. In fact ou never have to beat the hell out of yourself. Took me a couple of more years to learn that one too.

2. Rescuing a dog, cat and / or pet is the most rewarding thing individuals or families can do on any given day and at any given time. Your life will instantly have a higher sense of purpose. You will be saving a life, and they will bring immediate happiness to your life.  Win – Win

Have a great Friday everyone.  Day 194 here in Puerto Rico.  See you tonight.  I have reluctantly go take a shower now :)

Sincerely, Scott Evan Smith

Keeping Dreams intact and eradicating false pretenses

Keep your dreams intact and eradicate false pretenses

Good evening friends. We hope y’all had a great day today. It was great to be alive on July 23st, 2015. It could’ve easily played out differently, thank God that it didn’t.

My dream remains intact. I want to hand out frozen snickers on the beach for free to complete strangers talking about light, dumb and breezy stuff, the dumber the better.

Let close with two positive notions and one direct hit.

1. Nobody is perfect. To judge yourself for imperfections is not the path to peace and happiness. Give up the pursuit of perfection, and invite just being you back into your life.

2. Eradicate the pretenses that you have to get what you want before you’re willing to be happy. Its upside down. The right upside up pretense is to be enjoy the ride and give it your best and let the cards fall where they may. If they don’t fall in your favor, don’t take it personal, because its not personal, its just life.

Lastly the next time you ask someone how they are and they respond with;”Same _hit, different day” — Just respond with this; “Well at least you’re not dead” — Its usually a game changer for that person’s day, you’ll will throw them in a state of gratitude.

OK, that’s a wrap. Signing off from Puerto Rico on day 193, Dr. Harp Seal for Sammy & Family.
