‎"Pessoas com vidas interessantes não têm fricote. Elas TROCAM de cidade. INVESTEM em projetos sem garantia. Interessam-se por gente que é o OPOSTO delas. Pedem demissão sem ter outro emprego em vista. ACEITAM um convite para fazer o que nunca fizeram. Estão DISPOSTAS a mudar de cor preferida, de prato predileto. COMEÇAM do zero inúmeras vezes. Não se assustam com a passagem do tempo. SOBEM no palco, tosam o cabelo, fazem loucuras por AMOR e compram passagens só de ida..." Martha Medeiros

Comedy Connoisseurs,

Just wanted to reach out before FALL officially begins and bring you all up to speed on what's been going on with me! First off, I am a married man. I don't know why people say that marriage is hard - I've been doing it for three weeks and this is easy! I'm not going to lie, it was an amazing experience and it has truly been a growing process for me and my career. So if you haven't seen me lately, do yourself the favor and come on out to show.

I know tons of my fans on the East Coast have been asking me when I'm coming back to New York to do a show. I'm happy to report that I'm currently working on that, so stay tuned for more info. In the meantime, you can check my website at erikrivera.com for current LA and traveling dates.

I am fortunate to have so many GREAT things happening - just check out the NEWSLETTER below. Huge thanks to all of you for your continued support and laughs!

LAUGH IT UP,
Erik Rivera

Pessoas Frustradas

Existem pessoas que realmente carregam consigo uma enorme frustração em sua vida. E nem mesmo são capazes de dizer o porquê desse estranho sentimento. Simplesmente sentem-se frustradas e nem sabem explicar com o quê.
A parte mais triste é que alguém assim não se limita a carregar sua frustração pela vida, pois além de viver amargurado, deseja que o mundo todo também o seja. Não suporta ver pessoas bem-sucedidas na vida. Não consegue tolerar que outros obtenham sucesso. Faz-lhe mal saber que alguns têm competência, têm capacidades e fazem coisas que ele gostaria de fazer, mas falta-lhe capacidade para tanto e muito mais, falta-lhe força de vontade para mudar seu jeito mesquinho de viver.
Em vez de procurar fazer algo de bom em sua vida, limita-se a criticar tudo o que os outros fazem. Claro, é muito mais fácil criticar, apontar presumíveis erros no trabalho alheio, do que fazer a coisa certa. E assim, avoca-se esse direito. O de tecer críticas e comentários desairosos contra tudo o que os outros fazem.
Ora, se tem essa competência toda, se conhece tudo sobre a vida, se sabe apontar todos os erros cometidos, por que não procura fazer a coisa certa, em vez de se limitar a dizer que o mundo está errado?
É fácil afirmar que ninguém sabe fazer as coisas como devem ser feitas. Apenas ele, o supra sumo da capacidade e inteligência o sabe. Sabe, mas não faz. Aliás, nada faz para comprovar a assertiva de suas críticas. Limita-se a dizer que todos são incompetentes e burros.
Pessoas assim acabam se isolando do mundo, não conseguindo fazer amigos, salvo pessoas que compartilhem de suas ideias, que pensem da mesma maneira tacanha e passam a vida apenas destilando a peçonha de suas palavras. Tanto criticam, tanto ofendem, tanto magoam pessoas, que caem em descrédito total. Todos se cansam de sua amargura e terminam por não mais dar atenção, deixando-os falar sozinhos.
Devemos viver de uma maneira construtiva. É lícito ajudar outrem a corrigir seus erros, desde que a ajuda seja solicitada. Se percebermos que alguém está fazendo algo de uma maneira errada, podemos particularmente procurar apontar-lhe as falhas. Mas nunca procurar expor em público que não sabe fazer a coisa certa.
Criticar construtivamente é uma ajuda por vezes inestimável, mas fazê-lo destrutivamente, apenas provoca revolta. Existem diferentes maneiras para dizer que algo está errado e devemos fazê-lo de maneira a não ferir susceptibilidades. É muito mais agradável ouvir um agradecimento por uma correcção feita do que perceber que magoamos alguém.
Ninguém gosta de ser chamado burro ou incompetente em público. Mesmo que o seja, nada ganhamos ofendendo-o.
Assim, para essas pessoas frustradas, cabe um ligeiro aconselhamento, sem criticar suas atitudes. Apenas recomendar uma reavaliação de suas atitudes. Procurar mostrar quantas inimizades já deixou em seu caminho e o que ganhou com isso. Quantas reacções negativas já conseguiu com seus desmandos. E, principalmente, que pense bem. A melhor maneira de vencer suas frustrações é fazer algo de construtivo. E principalmente que causa muito maior satisfação íntima espalhar amizades do que inimizades nestes mares da vida.
Vamos procurar amar mais a vida adoçando-a com carinhos e boas atitudes do que a amargando com a mesquinhez de críticas destrutivas.

Por Marcial Salaverry.

"A verdadeira lei do progresso moral é a caridade."





We're about to change the way Americans engage with President Obama and his Administration by launching a new way for you to join with fellow Americans to petition the federal government on a range of issues. 
It's called We the People and you can learn more about it, and sign up to be the first to know when it's live here:
President Obama believes that government should be open and accountable to its citizens, and that's the goal of We the People. This online platform gives Americans a direct line to the White House on the issues and concerns that matter most to them.
Soon, anyone will be able to create or sign a petition at WhiteHouse.gov seeking action from the federal government on a range of issues. If a petition gathers enough signatures, the White House staff will review it, make sure it gets to Obama Administration policy experts, and issue an official response. President Obama will even answer a few himself.
While this is a big change for the White House's website, the idea is actually written into our founding documents. Throughout our history, Americans have used petitions to organize around issues they care about. We the People gives you a new way to join together with others to ask your government to address a problem, change a policy, or take action on a range of issues.
We the People will be launching very soon so start thinking about the issues that matter to you and the people you'll ask to join you.
We're looking forward to hearing from you.

A vida me ensinou...
A dizer adeus às pessoas que amo, sem tirá-las do meu coração;
Sorrir às pessoas que não gostam de mim,para mostrá-las que sou diferente do que elas pensam;
Fazer de conta que tudo está bem quando isso não é verdade, para que eu possa acreditar que tudo vai mudar;
Calar-me para ouvir; aprender com meus erros.Afinal eu posso ser sempre melhor.A lutar contra as injustiças; 
sorrir quando o que mais desejo é gritar todas as minhas dores para o mundo.
A ser forte quando os que amo estão com problemas;
Ser carinhoso com todos que precisam do meu carinho;Ouvir a todos que só precisam desabafar;
Amar aos que me machucam ou querem fazer de mim depósito de suas frustrações e desafetos;
Perdoar incondicionalmente, pois já precisei desse perdão;Amar incondicionalmente, pois também preciso desse amor;A alegrar a quem precisa;
A pedir perdão;A sonhar acordado;A acordar para a realidade A aproveitar cada instante de felicidade;A chorar
de saudade sem vergonha de demonstrar;
Me ensinou a ter olhos para "ver e ouvir estrelas", embora nem sempre consiga entendê-las;
A ver o encanto do pôr-do-sol;A sentir a dor do adeus e do que se acaba, sempre lutando para preservar tudo o que é importante para a felicidade do meu ser;
A abrir minhas janelas para o amor;
A não temer o futuro;
Me ensinou e está me ensinando a aproveitar o presente,como um presente que da vida recebi, e usá-lo como um diamante que eu mesmo tenha que lapidar, lhe dando forma da maneira que eu escolher...

NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH 

Childern Are NOT the Future (At this rate)  
      

School is back in session which means the Freshman fifteen begins!
The Freshman fifteen refers to an amount of weight (average 15 pound hence "15") often gained during a student's first year at a college or high school.  Well it seems like the Freshman are getting fresher or younger and younger. We now have preteen 15 &  toddler 15!

Childhood obesity is at epidemic proportions. Way back in the day (the 90's and before) it was unheard of that young kids developed diabetes. Now it's on the rise due to an abundance of sugary foods & snacks, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, fruit juices, processed foods, uncontrolled portion sizes, etc. With an over consumption of sugar comes a spike in your insulin levels which can send your system into shock, which is the breeding ground for obesity related illnesses.
 
My friend Toni's niece is only 9 years old and has acid reflux from drinking soda, snacks & a love for vienna sausages -yeah those little franks in cans (I didn't think people actually ate that stuff).

Due to the recession, many public schools are no longer offering physical education (P.E.) so now kids are more inactive! You know they're not working out or playing at home because they're playing video games or on the Internet getting persuaded by pedophiles. I remember I used to come home dirty, tired, and sweaty from playing a game of Freeze Tag, or Catch & Kiss, or Hide & Seek, or Red Light Green Light 1-2-3, or Hot Peas & Butter! So this school year send your kids off to school with more healthier snacks in their backpacks.

   
 
TOP 10 SNACKS TO PACK
-Fruit/Veggie Kabobs
-Unsweetened apple sauce or fruit without added sugar
-Baby carrots, celery sticks, or apple slices with dips made from yogurt or low fat sour cream
-Baked chips or pretzels are a better choice than high-fat potato chips or cheese snacks
-Drinks made from water with a splash of cranberry, peach, grape, or other fruit juice are healthier than sodas.
-Air-popped popcorn
-seedless grapes
-Cold strips of grilled chicken with honey mustard dip
-Dried cranberries or cherries are a sweet alternative for kids bored with raisins
-Peanut butter and vegetables or crackers
-Almonds or cashews
  
If they can't get P.E. in school then make them get it at home!  
TOP 5 HOME ACTIVITIES TO GET YOU KIDS GOING  
-Dance with kids
-Musical chairs with your kids
-Jump rope with your kids
-Bike ride with your kids
-During the commercials breaks, opening credits & closing credits of a TV show get up and dance with your kids.
-Wii (if you have to play video games then only exercise & dance games)
-Hold Home Competitions: Hula-Hoop Comp, Dance Comp, Jumping Jack, Jumping On the Bed, etc.

Notice I said do these "with your kids" because kids do what they see NOT what you say and chances are the apple don't fall far from the pig's mouth.
Allow the kids to cook and clean.  Have them assist you when doing tasks around the house like making dinner, doing laundry, or other household chores.




Instill good habits in your children NOW:
Example -Have them do 10 to 15 minutes of exercises right before bed. A workout will put them right to sleep instead of them playing sleep when really, they're using their blankets to cover the light from the T.V.!  
 

We have to reshape the future!


***(fine print stuff) Always check with a doctor/physician before doing this or exercise. I tried this and it worked for ME, so I'm simply relaying.

When in doubt - laughter is the best medicine!
