Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Thursday’s essay is called, "Christmas Jokes." I decided to compose a different kind of essay to celebrate Christmas this year. Here, then, I have listed some of my favorite Christmas jokes. Although some of the jokes are clearly better than others; however, there is no order in their presentation here. Some are a little more sophisticated than others, but most are quite silly. I begin with one that fits the “silly” category very well—and I apologize in advance.
Christmas Jokes
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Three men die in a car accident Christmas Eve. They all find themselves at the pearly gates waiting to enter Heaven. On entering they must present something relating or associated with Christmas.
The first man searches his pocket, and finds some Mistletoe, so he is allowed in.
The second man presents a cracker, so he is also allowed in.
The third man pulls out a pair of stockings.
Confused at this last gesture, St. Peter asks, "How do these represent Christmas?"
The third man answers, "They're Carol's."
Find lot's more jokes and a joke every Friday at Laugh... And Then Some!

Thursday’s essay is called, "How do you deal with people different from you?" Sometimes in a new communication situation with a person different from us, we may interpret the other person as abnormal, weird, or simply different. It is important to learn to control the human tendency to translate “different from me” into “less than me.” Rather, we need to raise questions. Are there effective ways of dealing with different kinds of people? Can I develop a repertoire of five or six approaches that will help me reach others in real and meaningful ways? I will discuss seven different ways taken from the book, Communicating Effectively by Hybels and Weaver.
How do you deal with people different from you?
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
How you learn to deal with people who are different from you depends entirely on your willingness to seek, discover, and experience. Today, the Internet is one of the most important influences on the knowledge and information at our disposal. We are increasingly linked together across the globe, and we can connect with people on the other side of the world as quickly as we do with friends and family at home. You will quickly find out that the knowledge and understanding you gain is well worth any effort you put forth.

Thursday’s essay is called, “People don’t want to know how to live a responsible, accountable, mature life—and they don’t care." Most people watch the no-brainer, lackluster, uninspired, dull, and unimaginative entertainment provided on television or the big screen because of their own slovenly inertia. They become immersed in video games, text messaging, chat rooms, e-mail messaging, Internet surfing and other mindless pursuits to fill their boring, nothing lives. People don’t want to know how to live a responsible, accountable, mature life—and they don’t care.
People don't want to know how to live a responsible, accountable, mature life---and they don't care."
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Despite the way I conducted my courses, and despite the basic philosophies I believed in that guided my behavior, I may have over estimated my audience. How did I arrive at this conclusion? I discovered it when reading a book, The Healthy Guide to Unhealthy Living: How to Survive Your Bad Habits (Simon & Schuster, 2006), by Dr. David J. Clayton. Clayton is a medical doctor who is a graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He has an undergraduate degree in chemical biology with honors from Stevens Institute of Technology. He trained in internal medicine at Boston University and the Scripps Clinic and Research Institute in La Jolla, California.

It's time for William Shakespeare!
Our new videos series is Who Wrote Shakespeare, Part 1 by Edgar E. Willis. Edgar explains in this introduction that throughout the world William Shakespeare's works have received more translations than any other work except the Bible. The towering reputation is based on two narrative poems, Venus and Adonis and The rape of Lucrece, 154 sonnets that are unsurpassed in their craftsmanship, and some 37 plays. The author told wonderful stories that created characters of such depth and richness that they exist in our minds as real people. He wrote passage after passage of such transcendent brilliance that absolutely takes your breath away. When you read one of these passages as Edgar has on many occasions, and thought, "it couldn't possibly have been said better." After centuries, the question of whether William Shakespeare actually wrote these works is still being debated? Edgar asks, "Who wrote Shakespeare?" He helps you decide for yourself.
[Video goes here] OOPS! Not yet... we will post another blog post with, Who wrote William Shakespeare, by Edgar E. Willis.

Masculinity and a Shakespeare Video
And Then Some Publishing News
-----
Hello folks... let's get you up-to-date!
The new video page at AndThenSomePublishing.com is finished for now. Sure there are more updates soon since we are releasing more videos later this week. (More on that in a second.) We continue to update our websites and our recent efforts haven statistically proven we are on the right track.
Thanks for being fans and thank you for your support.
Edgar E. Willis' video on Shakespeare will be released later this week. We were hoping it would be ready for this post, but due to some technical difficulties we've decided to delay the release so we make sure you get what you want. It's Shakespeare and this must presented with respect... and we want to get this one right. Nothing is rotten in the state of Denmark... a little patience is definitely worth the wait.

Thursday’s essay is called, “The tyranny of masculinity: Stop trying to be a man; start trying to be yourself." Men, in general—not all men—can be criticized for being too addicted to cultural definitions of masculinity and for lacking a critical perspective about those definitions. If you don't believe it, read about it in Thursday's essay.
The tyranny of masculinity: Stop trying to be a man; start trying to be yourself
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
It is true that most men feel pressured to act masculine. Why can’t men, instead, emulate people like the Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King, Jr., or Gandhi—men who were both gentle and competent? These are male culture heroes and icons of highly accomplished masculinity. Why is it that most men hold as heroes athletes, lawyers, businessmen, and generals? The answer is: because we live in a speedy, competitive, hyper-masculine culture—a culture that focuses upon and idealizes the most problematic aspects of the male gender role. If I could give men just one message, it would be: Stop trying to be a man; start trying to be yourself. If that includes elements that are considered feminine, so be it.

Shakespeare and Assholes?
And Then Some Publishing News
-----
This week we will be finishing the updates to all of our And Then Some Publishing websites. As we have found out it takes longer to update and remove old information than it is to implement and install the new information. The idea of the updates is to make easier and more efficient with our updates and getting new material to you faster. We expect to have AndThenSomePublishing.com updated by the end of the week so watch for our new updates.
Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Thursday’s essay is called, “Assholes at work." Who am I talking about? I’m talking here about people who quickly, and often thoughtlessly, throw out personal insults, invade our personal space, make uninvited physical contact, use verbal and nonverbal means to threaten and intimidate, use unwanted sarcastic jokes, offer-up withering e-mail flames, inject rude interruptions into conversations, appear two-faced—one face cordial and accommodating, the other face condemning, vilifying, and attacking—ready to give dirty looks (in Hawaii they call it “stink-eye”) at a moment’s displeasure, and treating others as if they are invisible. The essay is based on Robert I. Sutton's book, The No Asshole Rule, and I am indebted to him for the ideas in this essay.
Assholes at Work
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
One problem with assholes is the residual effect they can have on your mind, mentality, and memory. Just writing this essay, for example, brings back memories I would rather not entertain. Forgiving and forgetting is a great thought, but sometimes doesn’t serve to purge such experiences. Although Sutton discusses both revenge and calling their bluff, I have seldom seen these tactics work well. There are some tactics that work and that are discussed above, and they may be all you have. Fortunately, assholes make up a small percentage of the population!
