Marlon Brando’s Unforgettable Performance in Apocalypse Now: A Masterclass in Acting
In the annals of cinematic history, few performances have been as enigmatic, as haunting, and as profoundly impactful as Marlon Brando’s portrayal of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 masterpiece, “Apocalypse Now.” Brando’s performance, though limited in screen time, is a testament to the power of method acting and the indelible mark it can leave on an audience.
Confession of the Day
I have been with my GF for a little over a year now. We both have a kinky side to us and have an active sex life. Early on in the relationship, we talked about our kinks and whatnot. She said she was into toys (dildos and vibrators) among other things (porn, spanking, etc). This was music to my ears as i tend to suffer from premature ejaculation and incorporating toys is another way to make sure a girl can get off. So, I offered to go to the nearest adult store and pick out a couple of things. She suggested we could go together one day, but in the meantime, we can use the few she already has.

Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy

We live in a world where we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. This causes us stress, anxiety, and conditions of worth. As someone who used to often fall victim to the toxic comparison culture of today’s world, it took me a long time to overcome this flaw and to develop a healthier approach. Here are some things that have helped me when it comes to comparing myself with others:

Was It Ever Possible For Germany To Win World War 2?
Yes. In fact, in the 1939-40 war against the original allies of France, Poland and Great Britain, Germany did win.
Today, we see these victories as inevitabilities. To the world in 1940, they were nothing short of unimaginable. These victories are not just tactical:
-Poland ceases to exist;
-France’s Third Republic is replaced by the Nazi collaborationist Vichy government;
-Great Britain’s forces are pushed off the continent, barely clinging to survival.
By the summer of 1940, Hitler’s stage-by-stage plan (‘Stufenplan’) as dreamed in the 1920’s is coming to fruition:]\
– Austria, Bohemia and Poland are now part of Greater Germany.
– France and the Treaty of Versailles are neutralized.
– The British, Hitler believes, are finished and will soon negotiate.

The world’s first gym machines designed by Dr. Gustav Zander, 1892
The use of mechanical means for the application of exercise in therapeutics was first systematized and employed in a complete way by Dr, Gustav Zander, of Stockholm, about 1857. Zander’s vision of regular exertion using machines to honor health and well-being was certainly a novel idea in an age when the rising industrialization and mechanization moved millions of people into a more sedentary life.
How To Stop Eating Out And Save Money
Holy shit at the money people spend on food!
And I was the exact same way when I landed my first job out of college. You know what I’m talking about–biscuit and Starbucks on the way to work, lunch out with coworkers and pizza and beer at the local tavern for dinner! Every night! All week! Professional money spender! And more beers and dinners on the weekends! Woohoo!
Wait. Where did all my money go? And how the hell did I gain 40 pounds in six months? If you’re nodding your head you’ve fallen into the brand-new-job-big-salary-eat-out-because-I-can trap. And you have to stop it. It’s killing your bank account, it’s killing your financial freedom and it’s killing you. (Literally–I was on the edge of type 2 diabetes and had hyperglycemia during routine physicals.)
