BANG BANG GORILLA DAY

MIND

Matt Damon 1970

http://www.dailyedge.ie/matt-damon-reddit-ama-1305010-Feb2014/

Don’t wait for things to happen, make them happen.

Damon and Ben Affleck were struggling to find a place for themselves in the film industry so they decided to write themselves in. Literally.

… it’s just looking for creative ways to break in. If you just sit on your hands it’s never gonna happen, its just too competitive.

They penned a little film by the name of Good Will Hunting and, well, we all know how that worked out, don’t we?

https://www.foxmovies.com/movies/the-martian

Matt has long been devoted to environmental and social issues. Learning about the immense challenges of accessing safe water and sanitation in Sub-Saharan Africa, Matt was inspired to create the H20 Africa Foundation. In 2009, he teamed up with Gary White to merge their organizations and launch Water.org.

https://water.org/

*Make your life happen. Write yourself into the script.

You’ve already watched Good Will Hunting on Robin Williams’ birthday. If you want to watch another Matt Damon movie, watch him in The Martian and go home tonight, put your arms around the people you love and hold them tight. Tell them what they mean to you, and how empty and meaningless your life would be without them.

Life changes in an instant – for the good and the bad. Don’t live a life filled with unsaid words and regret.

Also, think of donating to water.org

Sigourney Weaver 1949

http://themanyfacesof.com/sigourney-weaver/

Aliens, demigods, Carpathians, and reptilian humanoid warlords all cower in her presence. She’s been possessed, impregnated, beamed up, and imprisoned, but has never given up. She’s the undisputed toughest, most badass actor in all of science fiction history. She’s Sigourney f#@king Weaver.

http://www.onlycelebritydiets.com/sigourney-weaver-diet-work-out-plan/

“As lovely as it is drinking champagne and having sumptuous food, your body needs to recover from these excesses. The body is an amazing instrument with great self-healing properties, and things like acupuncture and massage help the body regain strength and health. I’d much rather that than pump my body full of chemicals.”

https://www.amazon.com/Aliens-Sigourney-Weaver/dp/B001609SQA

*Watch Aliens (1986) and then get acupuncture and a massage to relieve the stress.

Jesse Jackson 1941

http://rainbowpush.org/pages/jackson_bio

“If Dr. King and our civil rights movement have taught us anything, it’s the fundamental principle that all people deserve equal protection under the law. LGBT people deserve equal rights — including marriage equality. Discrimination against one group of people is discrimination against all of us.

http://ideas.time.com/2012/05/17/what-the-rev-jesse-jackson-has-to-say-about-gay-marriage/

*Discrimination against one group of people is discrimination against us all. Everyone has the right to be miserable in a marriage.

Travis Pastrana 1983

https://www.phillyvoice.com/travis-pastrana-interview-transcript/

Speaking of being responsible for the lives’ of others, you have two daughters now. What will you tell them if they want to follow in your footsteps?

“For me, I definitely think their mom is more passionate in hoping they take up the action sports lifestyle, but I hope they take the action sports mentality. Wake up every morning with a passion. Do what you do because you love it; there’s no amount of money worth risking your life for. But if you’re so passionate about it — and just to grow up around this Nitro Circus crew, where every single person is just full of life and passion and wakes up every day with a big smile on their face. I hope [my daughters] take that and realize that — if you like desk jobs or you like art museums or horses or whatever — if you love it, that’s what you should be doing.”

*If you love it, that’s what you should be doing.

ENTERTAINMENT

Bruno Mars 1985

http://www.brunomars.com/

Bruno Mars is one of the world’s biggest music stars and he’s one of the most driven people we’ve ever seen. Just 31, he’s the product of what he calls a “school of rock” education — a working class life of experiences that have taught him the music business. None of it came easily. He’s been broke, busted and nearly homeless. But this week, following the release of his first album in four years, he’s on top of the music world.

Chevy Chase 1943 – lamb fries

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/lifestyle/chevy-chase-cant-change/?utm_term=.6ff781424c3b

Chase is a key piece of SNL’s history, whether establishing “Weekend Update” or pioneering the path from Studio 8H to Hollywood stardom. When asked what he thinks of the current show, he doesn’t hold back, delivering a foul-mouthed appraisal that’s as unforgiving as his critics. “First of all, between you and me and a lamppost, jeez, I don’t want to put down Lorne or the cast, but I’ll just say, maybe off the record, I’m amazed that Lorne has gone so low. I had to watch a little of it, and I just couldn’t f—— believe it.”

https://deadline.com/2018/09/chevy-chase-saturday-night-live-washington-post-will-ferrell-tina-fey-dan-aykroyd-1202467741/

THE DINER: Andy Farmer (Chevy Chase), a New York City sportswriter who has moved to rural Vermont to work on his novel

THE SETTING: Dining with his wife at a local café, he’s served multiple helpings of “lamb fries”—and consumes them with great levels of wide-eyed Chase-ian gusto. “Now there’s a man who knows he’s got something good in his mouth!,” observes a much-impressed onlooker.

Yo-Yo Ma 1955

http://www.yo-yoma.com/

Do you regret choices you’ve made?

I remember 20 years of having unbelievable children at home and falling asleep reading stories to them. I remember being impatient with my family members because I was so tired and stressed out. If I were to do it over again I would seriously look at the quality of decisions made during those years.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/10/booming/yo-yo-ma-and-the-mind-game-of-music.html

*Listen to Yo-Yo Ma as you think about the quality of decisions that you are making. Are you too tired to spend quality time with your family? If yes, then you have life backwards.

Charles Woodson 1976

Take a Class

The easiest way to get into boxing is to take a boxing class like Woodson did. This means you don’t have to fight anyone or take any punches.

Forgiveness

Breaking the cycle of violence also includes forgiving. Once the cycle is interrupted through openhearted invitation and apology, the circle of transformation is completed by forgiveness.

*Forgive someone today. Break the cycle through openhearted invitation and an apology. Welcome someone back into your life today.

Simon Cowell 1959

https://twitter.com/simoncowell?lang=en

Don’t get stressed

Easy for a multi-millionaire to say, maybe, but Cowell’s love of the Cartoon Network, American Spirit cigarettes, Sapporo beer and Barbados holidays all serve one purpose: keeping him happy. “If you’re going to cut one thing out of your life, cut out stress,” he says. “It’s the cause of cancer, heart attacks, diseases. If you’re stressed, you’re going to get ill.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/11063184/15-life-lessons-all-men-can-learn-from-Simon-Cowell.html

DOWNLOAD YOUR STRESS

Make a physical list of what you’re stressed about — whatever’s been ruminating in your brain in the wee hours of the night, Molitor says. “You’ll feel better just writing it down because you’re downloading all of those negative thoughts, taking it out of a space where it’s taking up a lot of energy.”

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/business/how-stop-stressing-over-money-so-it-doesn-t-hurt-ncna874791

John Mellencamp 1951

https://www.mellencamp.com/

John has said many times in interviews that you will never meet anyone luckier than John Mellencamp. He is grateful for the support of those who have enjoyed his work and career over the years. If he has any advice to offer, it is to be tenacious: John’s found that far too many people quit too soon in the face of early disappointment. While his own early efforts may have been faltering, he stayed with it–and that tenacity has been rewarded with the successes that continue to the present.

With a streak of success, both commercial and critical, Mellencamp finally reclaimed his name. When 1991’s Whenever We Wanted hit record store shelves, it bore the actual name of the man who made it: John Mellencamp.

Vladimir Putin 1952 – porridge, quail eggs and fruit juice

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Vladimir-Putin

Well, for all the macho posturing and shirtless horseback photo shoots, he begins his day quite leisurely indeed. In fact, he wakes up late enough that breakfast is served at noon, which is the sort of routine usually reserved only for college students and writers.

On the menu tends to be a large omelet or a bowl of porridge, with quail eggs and a glass of fruit juice on the side. The ingredients are shipped over from the Patriarch Kirill’s own farmland estates too, so you know he’s getting the good stuff. All very nice, but it’s not salmon caught by hand from the stream, or fruit wrenched from the jaws of a mountain bear, is it?

https://www.myrecipes.com/extracrispy/kasha-is-russian-soul-food

1. Russian Standard Gold, 40%: £22 for 70cl, Waitrose 

Bling bling! You’re going to need your sunglasses for all the light reflecting off this glitzy bottle. Russian Standard Gold is made with winter wheat and is inspired by an ancient Siberian vodka recipe. How does it differ from the regular Russian Standard vodka? Well, Gold uses extracts of Siberian ginseng, which add caramel notes initially, and then a pepperiness that really lingers – we’re in tingly tongue territory here. And again, there’s that soft mouth feel and creamy finish. We love the embossed bottle, which makes it pretty giftable, too.

https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/food-drink/spirits/best-russian-vodka-brands-beluga-good-real-top-premium-a7979156.html

*Sleep in and have a Putin type breakfast around noon. You’ll still have plenty of time to interfere in an election afterwards. Wash it down with some Russian Standard Gold vodka.

Bruno Sammartino 1935

https://www.wwe.com/superstars/bruno-sammartino

During the height of your wrestling career during the ’60s and ‘70s, what was your training like?
I was working out three, sometime three and a half, hours a day with weights. I would work out in the morning because I wanted to be very rested up for the wrestling matches at night. So I would do a workout, then have a light breakfast, and then I would go to bed for a few hours. I would eat an early dinner no later than 3:00 so that it would be fully digested by the time I went in the ring. So yeah, I worked out very hard and heavy, but I always used to try and take a couple hours nap afterward just to recoup and rest up.

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Dungy asked. “If football is your entire life, and you don’t have a relationship with the Lord, you’re going to be messed up, no matter how your life turns out. Even if you achieve fame and riches, if you forfeit your soul, it won’t profit you.”

George Westinghouse 1846

http://www.westinghousenuclear.com/About/History

The scope of his financial empire was easy to overlook, as he named many of his companies not for himself but for his employees, the inventors and engineers who designed the assorted dynamos, meters, voltage regulators, and transformers that kept electricity humming. He offered employees a pension plan and relatively good wages, with sick leave and paid recuperation time after on-the-job accidents when neither was required by law. Andrew Carnegie once said that “Westinghouse could have made a lot more money during his lifetime if he hadn’t treated his workers so well”.

Neil deGrasse Tyson attempts to live his life by following the advice of a 19th Century American politician and teacher, Horace Mann: “Be ashamed to die until you’ve scored some victory for humanity.”

http://www.physics-astronomy.com/2015/04/3-life-lessons-neil-degrasse-tyson.html#.Wjuil9-nHcs

It’s important to create meaning for ourselves and make sure we’re constantly bringing ourselves a little bit closer to knowing everything there is to know. “If I live a day and I don’t know a little more that day than the day before,” he explains, “I think I wasted that day.”

Lemieux wasn’t letting anything stop his athletic career – not even Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

He eventually returned, in record time, and continued to dominate the game for several years. Now that’s an inspirational story.

THE READER (2008)
On her sixth Oscar nomination, Winslet was finally able to take home the prize but her win remains one of the strangest in Academy history. This film features Winslet as a woman who has an affair during WWII with a young man and then is later tried for Nazi war crimes. In order to not compete with herself, Winslet was campaigned as lead for “Revolutionary Road” and supporting for “The Reader”, even though she is clearly giving a lead performance.

https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Kate-Winslet/dp/B001PPLJIQ

In a world full of size 1 starlets, the voluptuous Winslet is delightful, outspoken, and centered. “I’m happy with the way I am,” she said, “I’m not like American film stars. I’m naturally curvy.”

Rutherford B. Hayes 1822

https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/rutherford-b-hayes/

In Rutherford B. Hayes’ hometown of Delaware, Ohio, there’s a memorial to the late U.S. president; it’s a plaque that marks his birthplace, which is now a gas station. In Paraguay, people might find this fact horribly offensive. Perhaps that’s because the country is littered with Hayes memorials—from statues to schools to streets named in his honor. There’s even a city in Paraguay called Villa Hayes, which lies in the middle of a province called Presidente Hayes, which is roughly the size of South Carolina.

Problems at work? Don’t make excuses for your under par performance – employ a creative/humorous/arrogant metaphor to explain why you have failed to do precisely anything your boss asked you to do.

Like Zlatan at Barcelona.

“When you buy me, you are buying a Ferrari. If you drive a Ferrari you put premium fuel in the tank, you drive on to the motorway and you floor the accelerator.

Fortunately for Mr. Sharpton and others who owe taxes, the IRS isn’t too efficient. In fact, a recent government report says the IRS flubs 57% of tax collections.

One other big lesson from Mr. Sharpton? Records.

Keeping good records can help you in a tax controversy. In fact, good records can help keep you out of tax trouble in the first place. Does the IRS care about record keeping? Yes.

If there was any early obstacle, it may have been Alicia’s coloring: She is not the ice sculpture that Hollywood often imagines for its Nordics. Again and again, she has been asked to wear long sleeves and SPF 100 in order to help the makeup department conjure the desired pallor. “Two years of films where I had to be white as a ghost,” she says now, laughing. “But I’m a real Swede!

DeLuca co-founded the hugely successfully chain at 17 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with Peter Buck in 1965. Since then, Subway has grown to over 42,000 outlets worldwide.

Groucho Marx 1890

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comedy/comedians/groucho-marx-profile-things-you-might-not-know/

GROUCHO DANCED ON HITLER’S BUNKER
In 1964, Groucho went to East Berlin with a group that included his radio show director Robert Dwan and his 16-year-old daughter Judith Dwan Hallet. They visited the village of Dornum, where his mother Minnie had been born. and discovered that all the Jewish graves there had been obliterated by the Nazis. Groucho hired a car with a chauffeur, and told the driver to take the group to the bunker where Adolf Hitler was said to have committed suicide. Wearing his trademark beret he climbed the debris and then launched himself, unsmiling, into a frenetic Charleston dance routine. The dance on Hitler’s supposed grave lasted a couple of minutes. “Nobody applauded,” Hallet recalled. “Nobody laughed.”

“I would never be a member of any club that would have me as a member.”- Groucho Marx

The most important thing about building self-esteem is to remember that it is self esteem. Your opinion of yourself matters above all else. Stop being a spectator to your own life, viewing yourself and judging yourself as if you were somebody else looking for flaws. Get out of your head and into some positive actions. Reward yourself for these efforts. You are as good as you tell yourself you are.

Specifically, Lipton asked Sting about his infamous quote regarding “tantric sex,” in which he said he and his wife Trudie Styler allegedly had eight-hour lovemaking sessions. Sting has since backpedaled, saying the whole thing was a joke.

“If we had seven hours, I would demonstrate,” Sting said, to huge laughs and cheers. “Maybe not. But there is some truth to it. The idea of tantric sex is a spiritual act. I don’t know any purer and better way of expressing a love for another individual than sharing that wonderful, I call it, ‘sacrament.’ I would stand by it. Not seven hours, but the idea.”

He then quipped, “Seven hours includes movie and dinner,” getting another round of laughs.

Harris reached deeper, his “classic Jesuit” education in evidence. “Did you ever read Pope John XXIII’s ‘Journal of the Soul’? He was one of the truly great popes and a great spiritual man. He says he would find faith maybe four times a week and then it would leave him. And he’d spend the rest of the day praying to get that faith back. And we thought the pope has faith 24 hours a day. No he doesn’t! He’s in doubt as well. But that’s religion. That’s the beauty of it. The doubt is as important as the certainty.”

Julie Andrews 1935

Andrews’ father, Wells, was a very important person in her life. She remembered in her 2009 memoir, Home (via the LA Times), “He treated me and my siblings as his beloved companions, never dismissing or talking down to us.”

But at the young age of 14, Andrews learned shocking news that her father wasn’t the man she called her dad. In the same memoir, Home (via Daily Mail), Andrews recalls an evening in 1949 when she was performing at the house of a family friend. She described, “After I had sung, the owner of the house approached me…That evening the man came and sat on the couch next to me. I remember feeling an electricity between us that I couldn’t explain.” Later that evening, her mother asked her about the man and then proceeded to share, “That man is your father.”

www.thelist.com/73049/fascinating-untold-life-julie-andrews/?utm_campaign=clip

In the late ‘90s, Andrews was the victim of a failed vocal chord surgery that resulted in the loss of her singing voice. That would have been devastating for anyone, but especially a performer whose livelihood had been built on her famous voice. Instead of giving up, Andrews picked herself up, refocused and continued developing her career by throwing her energy into other projects.

Truman Capote 1924

Truman Capote has a natural gift that makes him a great guest at a dinner party: he is always interested in whomever he’s talking to. For one thing, he really looks at the person he is with. Most of us see outlines of one another, but Truman is noting skin texture, voice tone, details of clothing.

One of the reasons that Truman is always interested in people is that he won’t allow himself to be bored. He told me that when he meets a truly crashing bore he asks himself, “Why am I so bored? What is it about this person that is making me yawn?” He ponders, “What should this person do that he hasn’t done? What does he lack that might intrigue me?”

There was the time he drove up to Graceland, drunk on liquor and high on pills, with a gun on his dashboard, demanding that Elvis come down from the house on the hill to prove who the real king was.

“I said, ‘Elvis, I’m going to ask you one thing before we part company here. If you die, do you think you’d go to heaven or hell?’ And he got real red in the face, and then he got real white in the face, and he said, ‘Jerry Lee, don’t you ever say that to me agin.’

But Elvis wasn’t the only one who thought about hell? Lewis nods. “I was always worried whether I was going to heaven or hell,” he concedes. “I still am. I worry about it before I go to bed; it’s a very serious situation. I mean you worry, when you breathe your last breath, where are you going to go?”

Maybe it wasn’t the music itself but the lifestyle he thought was ungodly. “Well, I don’t know, I done the best I could,” Lewis says.
