Mikey O'Hearn On Aging Gracefully


The #1 myth in this world..
It’s the myth of: “You get worse with age”
A bunch of B.S..
The truth is, age is another word for time⏳.
It tells us how much time somebody has been exposed to.
Now think of time as an element, and when exposed to this element you naturally decay...not just your health, but your relationships your skills, your money (inflation)... everything.
And this element is something you’re exposed to 24/7/365, you can’t run from it.
Now this is a rule for everything on this planet, not just humans.
But humans are unique.
We have the ability to use time to our advantage. We do this by taking the time, investing it into an activity and in turn we grow.
The more you train the more you grow. The more money you invest the more it grows. The more time you spend on your relationship the more it grows etc...
I just told you the secret to success in life.
It’s an equation: Take Time (T) + Action (A) + consistency (C) and you get Growth (G) T+A+C=G
That’s the long game. You Trade time for growth and success will come.
This is one of the most important rules to life. And the people who don’t follow always wish they had.
Everyday I interact with highly successful people and I can tell you for a FACT that 100% of them followed this equation.
And one of those people is Actor/Model (Old school kind of modeling) Antonio Sabato Jr.
He’s consistently investing his time into growth activities and lives a fulfilling live most dream of because of it.
I brought him onto my podcast, Mornings With Titan, and we went deep on this topic.

Stay vigilant. Don’t lighten up, TITAN UP!⁣

Ladies Bring Your A Game


This is inspiration for all women feeling oppressed by sexism. Say "hell no" to the limiting thoughts within. If you want something and don't go after it, you know the result. If you are brave enough to pursue your dreams, success is in the realm of possibility. Here's to females breaking barriers.

Lifting Your Mother On High


The story of Richard Branson is very grandiose. This video letter to his mum and how her life influenced and directed the trajectory of his life is very beautiful. 

Don't forget to lift your mother on high and show respect to her if she is still alive or to her memory if she is no longer alive. Even if your childhood was not picture perfect or your relationship with your mother was or is not ideal, remember that she may have experienced hardships that affected who she was or became. Maybe she did the best she could with what she had. Or maybe she made mistakes because she is not perfect or didn't know better. Be aware that even a difficult situation can have a positive influence on your life if you open your heart and mind to the message the universe is sending to you. So whether your relationship with your mother is strong, weak or non-existent, never forget that through her body you were created and breathed life. And that is the most spiritual connection you will ever have with another human being.

Nanny Faye Chrisley Sending Love To The Haters


Nanny Faye Chrisley telling it like it is. Improper as this sentiment may be, sometimes this is what it is. It might not be appropriate to express it, but sometimes as human beings this is how we feel if we are being honest. If you have ever been used, abused, disrespected, demeaned, devalued, mistreated, misrepresented, treated unfairly, lied on, lied about... this is what the sentiment can be and usually is. And even though it is not socially acceptable to express this sentiment, sometimes we feel this way but cannot express it.

Learning From The Past And Moving Forward


Society at large paid a heavy price with long-lasting consequences by not being informed and taking preventative measures. Let's do some forecasting and stay ahead of the game. Knowledge is key.

Discrimination And Mistreatment Of Disparate Groups Of People


For years there has been discrimination and mistreatment of disparate groups of people (i.e., Italians, Hispanic people, Jewish people, Asian people, black people, homosexuals, transgenders, LPs (i.e., little people), overweight people,  the elderly, the impoverished, etc.). This is simply unacceptable. We cannot rewrite history and we cannot erase hatred but we can educate the ignorant and lead by example. Be an example and do not perpetuate ignorance.

Mama June Rocking The House


June Shannon, aka Mama June, is in the house! Mama June started off as a hillbilly welfare mother who came on the scene through the TV show Toddlers and Tiaras with her then young daughter Alana Thompson who she use to enter in pageants to earn extra money. Unbeknownst to Mama June this simple act would be the vehicle through which she and her family would be discovered and offered a TV show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." This was a simple, silly show about their redneck, hillbilly lifestyle which at the time was exploding on the reality TV scene. With success of the show came the trappings of money, fame and opportunists looking to capitalize off that money and fame. Soon thereafter came the downfall that mixing with the wrong people usually brings causing that show to be cancelled indefinitely. Luckily for Mama June and her family, Hollywood came knocking again for the second chance at a show "Mama June From Not To Hot" which showcased the road to her physical transformation. Then came the second downfall through her boyfriend Geno Doak which was drug use, addiction, reckless financial decisions and yes legal problems which included jail. Then came a spinoff "Mama June Road To Redemption" which captured, you guessed it, her road to redemption wherein Mama June conquered her drug addiction and escaped a prison sentence for her drug charges. Now cut to today... Mama June is thriving. I love a good come back story. To quote the Jersey Shore's Mike Sorrentino who also successfully emerged from a downward spiral (i.e., addiction and jail)... "the comeback is greater than the setback."

So, if you are struggling and have made some ugly mistakes, remember that you can always turn it around if you learn from those mistakes and make a concerted effort to have a better life. Out of the darkness emerges the light. The light always shines through the darkness.

It's Alright To Feel Lost Sometimes


Heed the message in this story which stopped Simon Cowell in his tracks. The message may be different for each one of you as we all experience and view life from our own unique perspectives. What pulled at my heart strings was the message in the song being beautifully sung by this frail young woman who obviously was, and still is, very ill with the real possibility of death before her. At any moment of any given time this could be anyone of us. If you are healthy, be thankful and empathetic towards those who are not well. If you are ill, be hopeful and pray that God be merciful with the gift that is your life.

Treat Me Right


I don't agree with anyone being mistreated. I don't agree with anyone being treated as less than. We are all human beings and deserve to live with dignity. We can agree to disagree but let's live and let live. Let's try to be decent human beings and treat others as we wish to be treated.

Renown California Attorney Tom Girardi Has Been Disbarred

Erika Jayne, wife of Los Angeles based attorney Tom Girardi, has been flaunting her supposed wealth on the TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for several years now. On the show she flagrantly displays her opulent lifestyle and often boasts of her husband's legal skills. The web of lies that was Erika Jayne's and Tom Girardi's seemingly perfect life has now been exposed as a result of the State Bar of California taking legal action against Girardi for having allegedly embezzled millions upon millions of dollars from his clients to whom he owed a fiduciary duty. Here is what the California State Bar is currently saying about the now disgraced attorney:

And here is a related post of Erika Jayne and the now disgraced Tom Girardi with former Los Angeles Police Department Police Chief Charlie Beck: https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2016/01/lapd-chief-charlie-beck-on-real.html. It is noteworthy that Erika Jayne's son is an LAPD officer which begs the question of what favors, if any, the Girardi's received from the LAPD.

Prince Harry In The Me You Can't See


This is a powerful docuseries with a very creative title. People often wear a social veneer to conform to societal norms in a quest for acceptance when in reality they are masking deep internal pain which eventually manifests in destructive ways (e.g., addiction, depression, suicide, abnormal aggression, violence against others, murder, etc.). Mental health issues stem from a variety of sources such as psychological trauma or genetic disorders; some of which are hereditary. We need to stop referring to people with mental health issues and disorders in a derogatory fashion. How many times have you described someone as a psycho or told someone they were crazy as a put down? You need only to watch the evening news to understand that there is a mental health crisis going on in the world (e.g., the harming of helpless animals, the torturing, rape and/or murder of innocent children, violent attacks on the homeless, arsonists starting destructive fires, freeway shootings, mass shootings, etc.). We can only begin to tackle this monster by addressing the underlying issue of mental illness in an intelligent, constructive manner. And this all starts with a frank, non-judgmental discussion. The stakes are too high to ignore this any further.

Have A Nice Life


My handsome Dutch friend Jesse Meester enjoying life to the fullest. We can all learn from a page in the book of his life. Although it is not possible for everyone to travel the world to enjoy beautiful experiences, you can still seize the day by interjecting one of more things you love into your day. Sometimes this is a nap at dusk, a great meal, your favorite cup of tea, a good TV show, listening to nice music, having a good conversation with someone you like or spending time alone after midnight reading, writing or just resting. 

Sometimes people say "have a nice life" when they want you to fuck off and never contact them again. I mean it sincerely though when I say have a nice life. No matter what your circumstances, don't forget to enjoy your life.

When You Know Better You Do Better


Self-esteem and self-love are very important. So stop beating yourself up. People, and society at large, expect you to be perfect. You will never be perfect nor will the people who expect you to be. In general when you know better you do better. Most of us are evolving. Regardless of whether you are evolving or have digressed, you must forgive yourself for your mistakes in order to evolve or to continue evolving. You're not a loser... only on the weekends. Just kidding!

And remember to be forgiving if you want forgiveness from God and others. It first starts, however, with forgiving yourself. God bless and be well.

The Ugly Truth About LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson (Serial No. 32645)

I waited a long time before I decided to post this letter that I received from LAPD Lieutenant Nicholas Sinibaldi in regards to LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson who I had a personal relationship with until he exercised poor judgement and decided to threaten me because he wasn't getting what he was persistently pursuing. Lt. Sinibaldi is one of the very few sworn personnel of the LAPD that I have interacted with who has integrity; and I have interacted with a lot. Little did Lt. Sinibaldi know at the time he wrote this that years later it would become an evidentiary document that would catch several sworn personnel of the LAPD (including Gibson himself and his former commanding officer Deputy Chief Peter Zarcone) making false statements, manufacturing content in official government documents (including in e-files) then generating further false and misleading documentation to cover up the later. Zarcone was also my brother Frank's commanding officer when he made false statements of a significant nature in a now evidentiary document to cover up an incident related to my father's untimely death as a consequence of the negligence and dereliction of duty of Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa (Serial No. 33196). https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2016/07/lapd-sergeant-joel-sydanmaa-on-job.html The incident with my brother was just one of numerous incidents relating to his aggressive harassment of me in retaliation for me having reported his personal and financial involvement with convicted felon and federal prisoner Colin Nathanson of South Africa to the LAPD. https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2020/05/societal-entropy-and-decay.html This was an issue that the LAPD, including Captain Brian Thomas of the LAPD's Internal Affairs Criminal Investigations Division, remained and continues to remain complicit on. Why am I posting this now? I am doing it because I was an innocent victim of the LAPD's culture of depravity, of LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson and  of my brother Frank who incessantly harmed my life by invoking police officer privilege while the LAPD ignored my pleas for protection. https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2015/12/my-pastdetective-jerry-gibson-lapd.html Look below at the outrageous entanglement Detective Jerry Gibson dragged me into with the audacity years later to lie about it after I honorably shielded him from professional harm. I am also posting this now because the public has a right to know. This is what every civilian fears... cops telling lies verbally, in their databases, in documentation and ultimately in court. This is a very dangerous situation as these are the unethical actions that can land an innocent person in jail.

Ms Sebiane: 

The letter you received is one of a handful of form letters that could be sent out after a complaint is adjudicated.  Unfortunately, the wording in these letters is prescribed based one of a few possible adjudications.  We have no leeway in changing the wording they contain.  In some cases, the letters people receive from the police department may seem at odds with what they expected, but that is often because the letters are not allowed to be customized to suit every situation.  So, the letter which comes closest to describing the police department's findings is what is sent out to people who have made complaints.  

In this case, you made it clear you wished no action to be taken against Detective Gibson.  Therefore, the letter was the best one to accommodate your strongly expressed wish that the matter not affect him or his career.  If the letter had said he was guilty of something specific, that would have had a serious impact on his career.  Recall that you called me to insist that nothing happen to him.  Classifying the complaint as "Unfounded" satisfies your request that nothing happen to him. 

Please be assured that Gibson's record accurately reflects everything that you said (it was all on tape).  It was all fully documented and thoroughly reviewed starting with two police lieutenant's, then to his Captain, and all the way up to the level of a Deputy Chief.   There has not been anything that wasn't examined.  The police department spent several weeks working on your complaint.  Believe me, a lot of work already went into this. 

Gibson has been ordered not to ever contact you again, so please do not expect an apology from him.  Let me apologize on his and the Department's behalf.  We are all sorry this ever happened. 

As to the letter being detrimental to you, that is not the case.  The letter is confidential and has not, and will not be seen by anyone other than yourself, the person who signed it, and the clerk who filed it away.  We process thousands of these letters and have an unblemished record when it comes to their confidentiality.

There is nothing I can do beyond explaining the process, so I hope this was helpful.  If you have any more questions, please let me know..  

I hope this helps..

Thanks

Acknowledging Our Law Enforcement Officers


Let's remember to show support for our law enforcement officers who are providing service in these very volatile, dangerous times. Let us not ever forget those who died in the line of duty. Don't confuse the important issues plaguing law enforcement agencies (e.g., racial profiling, corruption, cover-ups, excessive use of force, etc.) with the brave human beings providing service on a daily basis. Law enforcement is a vital function and those providing service deserve respect.

Ask Not What's Wrong With You But Rather What Happened To You


As a UCLA graduate in the discipline of Psychology, I am am a firm believer in the importance of not just knowing but also in acknowledging and understanding what happened to you particularly in early life and how it has affected you. One of the things I admire most about Oprah Winfrey is her advocacy for victims of psychological trauma and how she uses her fame and platform to help people in pain. Together with renowned brain development and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry, Oprah has co-written a book about trauma and healing. The healing part is critical to personal fulfillment in your journey of life.

Educating Yourself On Diversity


I am very thankful that throughout most of my life I had the privilege of living in racially mixed neighborhoods, going to racially mixed schools and working at racially mixed companies and law firms. And throughout the journey of my life, I have had many different close friends, male and female, of different ethnicities (i.e., White, English, Irish, Italian, German, Austrian, Australian, Dutch, American Indian, Jewish, Spanish, Persian, Samoan, Japanese, Filipino, African American, etc.). This molded me into a well-rounded, open-minded person sensitive to all cultures and to all ethnicities. My wish for all of humanity is that people can learn to see others through that unique lens.

Cops' Lives Matter


Let's remember to treat our police officers with dignity and respect. They are not just a badge; they are human beings just like the civilians they serve and protect. My sincere prayers go out to NYPD Police Officer Mundy's family. Rest his soul.

Let's also remember to be responsible and vigilant in the fight against this horrific virus. Be safe and be well. God bless.

My Sexy Friend Jesse Meester On Inspiration


Ask yourself this question: do I feel good or bad when I am around or engage with this certain person or group of people? Are you better or worse after having had that interaction or experience? If you feel bad or are worse, you should eliminate that person or group of people from your life. If you are in a toxic environment or situation (e.g., such as a hostile work environment or unhealthy relationship), politely bow out as soon as is reasonably possible. Know your worth. Only surround yourself with people who uplift you, inspire you and make you better. Your life has a value. Go out and flourish.

Advocating For The Underdog


Ever since I was a little girl I have always advocated for the underdog. I have always defended those being bullied. I have always stood up for those being mistreated. I have always leant an ear to those who have needed to talk. I have always been friendly to the friendless. I have always been attentive to children and compassionate to the elderly. My empathy for others comes from being mistreated as a child by my older siblings who were jealous of me because I was the baby and my parents' favorite child. I was treated with a lot of hatred by my siblings just because I was alive. One sibling in particular, Liz Sebiane, was so mean to me that she was actually dangerous and my father was afraid to leave me alone with her when we were children. And all throughout my life that sibling was fixated on me and incessantly harassed me and tried to damage my life to the point that it became a serious legal matter. Remember the jealous sister in the movie The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston who wanted Whitney's character (i.e., Rachel Marron) dead? It has been just like that. 

In the face of hatred throughout my childhood, however, the opposite happened to me. I learned to be kind, loving, respectful, sensitive to people's feelings and empathetic towards others. 

Enjoy this sweet video about a literal underdog whose circumstances changed for the better despite his imperfection.
