wheni met his son noel in like1990 he was justas cool as his dad..and
loved myson Tommy as he had no kids...we went back to hamburg hamlet as
i told mel next time itwa my treat,,however mel pased away by then..so
noel said my friend would love to meet and talk to you bu hes out of
town..curious i said whos the friend..he said KIrk Douglas.... my moms
was from Bermuda and so was kirks wife and micahel was born there..so we
had a link...
inthe 40 years ive been doing this crazy biz..its ben the most
incredible jorney i could ever imagibne...as i was expelled from
scjhoolat age 15 fordrawingapic of led zepplin, had no father to show
me anything.and ironicallya man named Mel eshenburg was my 1st
mentor..mystepgrandfatherwho taught me uke,,at age like 7...so im
bewildered ive been allowed to do anything..as mostwas a single mom ,who
didnt evendrive,,my grandmother raised me while mom was at worka sec
fora ad agency..and then a quality control personinthelab at general
mills...
Ive met all kinds inshow biz myex wifes famiy was swedish and sicilian
so part is in Howard beach nyc and funeral directors and by Gotti...so
ive heard many wild storys andforsome reason as my dad was also sicilian
from Rochester ny..and pa...and a us sgtmariane corp in Korea...yet he
met my mom in Toledo..she was a arthur murry dance teacher,,,lol use
your imagination..the college pres told him to take dance lessons to
stay out of trouble....lol..
so i just rekoned i must have been ona journey to prove i was useful and
could be liked and do something as kids who are abandoned get
complexes..so the many show biz people that have helped me where all
mentors..and its almost likewizard of oz as each offered me wisdom..i
just posted one Edward lowe..who on dec 24 1993 called me and said dont
give up ona tademark lawsuit..and he and a inventor bernie cousino
whowas at theedison institue wanted to help this kid out and berine was
92 -94 whose counting..well we siuceeded in defending the mark and gota
settlement as you said most dont go to tril but i was ready with like5
steamer trunks of eveidence...looking back it taught me how to gather
data and ifyou are honest with people you dont have to lie as how these
things fall apart is people build the who thing on lies...so the more i
looked at the papertaril it supported what i thoughtanayways as it hard
to remeberwhat you did last week,,but the pieces come together ina odd
way...i basically jus asked God for help..anditwas magical ,,the
opposingside started toinfuightwitheach other...recentlya guy contaced
me about my 1st home before my shop that we did the mail order in..and t
was funny as i had a flye and bank statements i saved from then and
wheni 1st started i had done it as a sideline to my booking agency so
itwas over 40 years ago...who keeps reaocrds likethat??? i even saved
catalog requests withenvelops..not to prove my business..because i was
so happy hat peopel wanted to buy my stuff i saved them...so wheni neede
evidence..we proved we aere around 5 years prior to the others and even
had ups dhipping records and date stampted envelopes to prove it...and
ads..etc,,,so thats why i believ in miracles and gods always there....so
allthe paralegal showed me how to organize as ina case...most sides use
omission and sandbag,,but if you meetsolid peple that are fair and
honest they pierce the viel ofdeception..and i hope to help others do
that also..
we won the case on the oint torfeasor theaory,,ad pierced the
corpveil..becaise officers knew they infringed and didnt disclose
it..whenwe wereawarded settlement they tryed to bankrupt so they didnt
have to apy,,but we made sure they coud not do shell games unless they
paid the judgement,,yes itwas stres,,yess it was scarey and took from 93
-97 but if you hang inthere and dont give up thats the thing god teaches
us..and all the people that helped me..likeMel Blanc, Capra, Lowe,
Schwarseezenneger,, and countless others...many mopo people...my fave
movie alltime is =Its awonderful life,,1946.. i felt Frank shook my hand
inspirit,,,the film has litlle mesages..likei just heard wainright say
the plastics factory would be built inRochester..and my left ear is deaf
like George bailys..and they were set to go toBermuda and sacrificed the
money to save the bank,,and he didntsell out to gred and potter..and yet
he wasnted to die,give up and so clerence saved him by showing people
needed his help also....Zuzu -karaling Grimes is on my facebook and
shered my post so she also had much loss in life,,so she gets it..the
ones with loss get me the ones that never lost dont...also jimmy was
from Pa...and i even spoke to Linwood dunn who did special effects on
the film...so thats my life ina way as it is the same thing,,one last
thing was the book Tom sawyer by samuall clemmons aka. Mark Twain..my
great grandmother used to have tea with him in Bermuda...so kind a see
the connections?? and so in the end of film you see the book-Tom Sawyer-
and its says: " no mans a failure who has friends"..and itwas the love
ofall the friends that he met inall life that cam to the rescue and
stopped potter from taking over thabank and loan...i feel thatway..as
many of my friends did well and made money and are stronger then i ever
was.andits not thati deserve help or earned it ,but because god s graece
and friendship is the ultimate lessons ive learned...
.when i considere all my blunders and i seem to hold the title of king
blunder man..its been friendships that have helped me not my net worth,
or smarts or anything really its totally grace inaction as so many have
suffered more then me..but i see and relate from 40 year
ofexperiences...so im not bitter atanyone or feel owed..actually i am
hopeing to pay it forward as all myteachers aught me and help others..so
if god wills iti will and ill dowaht he wants not me..as i think i just
make jejsus laugh whenhe sees me post on mope ortry my hairbrained
ideas...butat same time..i think god uses eveybody to help each other as
this is a group kindergarten.effort...
my 2nd movie that really hits me is "CINEMA Paradisio",,,, i am
basically toto,,and was like that kid as a small boy so if you want to
know me..thats me..and had a mentor my grandfather and step grandfather
who showed me stuff like Tommy theres "a place fr everything and
everything in its place" ,,,, and my grandmother when i was shy i had no
good clothes she would say "Boy what are they buying the man or his
clothes."..and when i was in a fight with neighbor bully kids and scared
and getting beat up she woud sy..get back in there and dont give up...
the flms shows unrequited love and i experienced that also and yet the
saying its better to loe and lose then never love at all is true ,,same
with business,,,it we never take risjks nothing would ever get done..as
its hard to try new ideas...and most do fail..but edison said when
asked,,how he felt failing to make a light bulb,,he said sir i didnt
fail 10k experiments i found 10k ways not to make a lightbulbs..i have
failed so many times i lost count but thats how we learn ,,thats why i
am not afraid to fail as so many brighter then me more resourced and all
fail also,,and some just by luck of the draw get a lotto ticket and
win..so go figure...most thou take years to build there venture..i look
at adversity as a nothertoolinthe toolbox as a company of business is a
series of risks and much is purely without reason..however if you
really love what your doing and your mission is to help others build
bridges and friends.. to me that the entire mission of what god
wants-SERVICE us to learn,,,anything else is folly,,and grasping for
the wind..and vaniy,,,,my hardest lesson is to forgive as i get upset
when people hurt others or abuse , and hurt but so did jesus..and so i
pointed my fingers at many as i saw thier issues then said wait i have
the same issues and temptation as the others..so thats why the ones that
are crooks and what some owould all corupt are also my friends like show
biz people magicians, promoters,agents, movie guys, collectors, and all
as we all make mistake and some sure keep doing it but some learn and
try to also pay it forward so thats why i wont give up and thats why
those movies inspired me ...i am not sure ill get my bucket list however
its kinda fun likedisney said doing the impossible...i just hope i can
leave more positive memories behind then negative ones...hope that
answered you...the fact youra mel...is kinda funny ..i learned uke on
Mel Bay song books...LOL:) happy 2018 to all MOPO and god bless your
familys and best wish and health..
I'll start. I was an attorney for 20 years and definitely agree that
"My Cousin Vinny" is the funniest movie about lawyering. It is not
realistic in one sense: Most attorneys never try cases, contrary to
popular belief, because the vast majority settle or are dismissed.
(Likewise, in criminal cases, 95% of the time the defendant plea
bargains.)
I actually did second-chair one jury case. We represented the wife who
was suing for divorce, child custody, and $$$$. I could write a
screen-play about that crazy case! The husband owned the only porn
store in the county and had ALLEGEDLY buried mountains of untaxed cash
proceeds from the store. We presented lots of sleazy witnesses who
described his shenanigans. Our client was cosmetically "enhanced" to
the max and had received $100K in jewelry from husband. When
questioned, she admitted she had condoned and benefitted from the
shenanigans but could not quit working for the store because "I was
the world's best vibrator salesperson!" Eventually, both parties
became convinced the FBI was monitoring the trial and agreed to settle
after four days of trial before they got arrested!

Your turn!

If your profession is discussed, do you agree with the chosen film
and why? What other films are good choices for your profession?
If your profession is excluded, do "profess" the best film about it!
