Another day, Another dollar

 Of course our stars get the most attention. They shine bright and high up in the media.

They should not have to apologize for being  at the right place at the right time.

Mark's story is he was walking the streets as a pedestrian and a producer walking by

asked him if he had interest in movies because of his looks. He went on to make history.


Heard are complaints about being too wealthy and taking Martial Arts. Supposedly paying

for rank instead of putting in the time and grind. No one mentions the expenses Dojo

owners and promoters or " opportunity costs."  The hidden cost of not study or work

instead of attending a tournament. Some participate and do not get renumerated-at first.


Betcha guys like Norris would rather teach a group of bright eyed children eager for their

first belt knowing the first is the most exciting. Like the first bite of ice cream. Later ones

start to lose flavor. Same can be said for belts or ranking.


George Lucus (Star Wars) got an award. He was reminded that the group that sponsored it 

were connected with Steven Spielberg. George said. "Yes! George and I give each other awards

all the time. "

Another day, another dollar.
