I Sh*t My Pants Again and So Did You
Author: Rick Chowdry
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662476035
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The world has become a very odd place to live in the last few decades, and it seems that there is incessant chaos coming at us from nearly every direction. Regardless of where we tune our televisions or our smartphones, there is no shortage of people anxious to drag us into an agreement with their opinions about all that is wrong and, by extension, how their position on a given issue is the correct one that all of us should subscribe to. Politicians, the media, the clergy, our neighbors, our friends, and our enemies all have something that needs adoption, and if we would just apologize and change our view, the world would be a better place. This book is an attempt by an average guy to cut through all of the crap that we are bombarded by to find the underlying problems that drive the chaos along with a simple solution that might change the world. The book is deliberately short, simple, and a little crude just like the human condition.

Death on the Small Screen
Author: Jonathan F. Bassett
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147668801X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Mortality remains a taboo topic in much of Western society, but death and violence continue to be staples of popular television. We can better understand the appeal of violence by investigating psychological theories surrounding anxiety about death and the defenses we use to manage that anxiety. This book examines five recent television series--Game of Thrones,The Punisher, Jessica Jones, Sons of Anarchy and Hannibal--and shows how fictional characters' motivations teach viewers about both the constructive and destructive ways we try to deal with our own mortality. Instead of dismissing violent television as harmless entertainment or completely condemning it as a dangerous trigger of hostile behavior, this book shows its effects on viewers in a more nuanced manner. It provides a new perspective on the enjoyment of violent television, enhancing fans' appreciation and sparking ongoing discussions about their value to both the individual and society.

Animal Stars
Author: Robin Ganzert, PhD,
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608682641
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
When cameras roll and directors call, “Action,” some of the most dependable, funniest, and most enthusiastic actors stand poised on four legs, with ears alert. From Joey in War Horse to the wolves in Game of Thrones, what we see on screen is the result of meticulous preparation and professional teamwork. The eye-popping, heartwarming stories in these pages reveal the trainers, actors, directors, and, of course, dogs, cats, horses, penguins, deer, and other animals in all their behind-the-scenes glory. You’ll discover that some animal actors have diva tendencies and others have rags-to-riches backstories. American Humane Association certified animal safety representatives work carefully to ensure that no animals are harmed, as they have been doing for decades. Animal stars have done it all — convinced us to eat more tacos, broken our hearts in war dramas, inspired us with enduring love and loyalty, kept us at the edge of our seats as they snarled in the shadows, mirrored human antics to make us roar with laughter, and, like Uggie (from The Artist), stolen the show on the red carpet. Who besides a monkey named Crystal could impress a brilliant comedian like Robin Williams in Night at the Museum? And animal stars will work for food, including only KFC original recipe for Casey the bear — no other fried chicken will do! These charming and sometimes hilarious stories will give you a new appreciation for the skill and patience it takes to teach nonhuman actors to perform on camera. Training tips from the pros and personal recollections of celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Hailee Steinfeld, and Steven Spielberg make this insider’s look at the lives and work of these incomparable stars as irresistible as the animals themselves. A portion of the publisher’s proceeds from this book will aid American Humane Association.

Not Always Serious
Author: Denis Liljedahl
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1468528904
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This book is a collection or compilation of poems and short stories that I mostly made up over many years, usually when Ive been drinking. That should answer many of the questions about the content of some of the material contained within. My wife thinks Im goofy and is amazed that any publishing company would even consider wasting the soy ink to print it, I am too. Im a midwest guy (Twin Cities) only because my great grandparents thought that this area reminded them of home, stupid Swedes and Germans. To me, that wouldve been a good reason to keep moving on. Maybe to the West coast, Colorado, Northern Arizona, or Utah. Furthermore, Ive never tried lutefisk and I dont like headcheese. I do, however, like sauerkraut and pork chops with garlic mashed potatoes and rutabagas. I retired from the USPS and left my disgruntled ways and a few mangled bodies behind me. For that reason I decided against having a picture of me on this back cover. I shouldve used an alias, dammit!
