“It is our job to state our thoughts and feelings clearly and to make responsible decisions that are congruent with our values and beliefs. It [...]
His name is Mark, he works as a Security Guard, and what he said is not necessary amazing, but it stuck in my mind, it made me remember him.

“I am not that intellectual. I [...]
The film “Chinatown” is a “film noir” because its subject matter revolves about fatality and futility of will, and this theme is supported by very effective visual techniques. No matter how hard the charactres try, they are powerless to overcome the obstacltes and unwritten rules. The main character, Jake Gittes, tries to protect his reputation, [...]
Film Noir (literally, black cinema) is a style defined primarily in terms of light – or the lack of it. This style typified a variety of American genres in the 1940s and early 1950s.

I often ask the question “What is your sign?” Most people assume that I ask for an zodiac sign. Here it comes — “Power of Assumption”. I assume and other people assume, our assumptions rarely coincide and here it comes – miscommunication. Or call it Mis – Assumption. Take your pick.
