Paul Newman: A Great Actor, a Great Man

A Brief Commemorative Writing for the Late Great Paul NewmanIn our society there are many different things that influence our culture. One of the biggest influences on our culture is that of the media. And for more than five decades Paul Newman was one of the greatest actors that our media has ever seen. From starting his career in small supporting roles, to starring in and directing his own box office hits, Paul Newman was one of the biggest things to ever happen to America’s film industry.Although Newman had an expansive career on Broadway and other off camera performances, his biggest accomplishments and most amazing performances were seen on the big screen. Newman’s first hit movie was called “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” in which he portrayed a very complex character and impressed audiences and film critics with his great acting ability. Not only did he give a good performance but also received his first academy award nomination for this film. He would go on to start in many great movies and be nominated for a number of other awards. Some of his greatest movies include “Cool Hand Luke” in which Newman played an antihero who was a prisoner in a work camp trying to escape, and in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” he acted alongside Robert Redford in the Western about two outlaws belonging to the ‘Hole in the Wall gang’.One of Newman’s best played roles and arguably his most influential film was called “Hud” in which he played a young man who was by himself against the world and his own parents. Many say that this was his best performance and one of the very best of that decade. Newman’s acting career was scattered with reviews like that and it would not end until he quit acting. And he never quit acting.

Dating Advice for the Professional Single Parent

When It’s Time for ME After Years of THEM Dating has always been a ‘bad’ word in our small family. With two girls and a boy, the word dating was equivalent to ‘step-dad’ or ‘dad’s substitute’. Listening to Dr. Laura, I had an image of myself with a cane, quivering over to the bar to meet a soul mate once the children were grown
 and in college. “It’s not their fault you couldn’t get along with your spouse”… No, it really isn’t.I separated in 1999. My husband’s ‘voices’ in his head told him that if he didn’t leave, I’d have a heart attack. I was sure glad they told him that, at the time. I was eager to have a peaceful home, full of the normalcy I once enjoyed, instead of the daily criticism and finger pointing that seemed to consume my daily life. He resorted to alchemy and creating gold out of air, while I submitted resumes for jobs, and small tutoring jobs to bring some food to our tables. The children were afraid and started having nightmares about his stories of spirits and other dimensions. I felt that getting out of it was ‘saving our family’ so-to-speak. Regardless of the situation, the guilt remained. It took me a three years to decide that it was OK to have a little fun, go out to a movie, a dance, a class on an evening with friends, or by myself. If we don’t take care of our own emotional well-being, how will we arrive home in a mood to face all the dirty dishes and clothes all over the place? Dating begins with being able to enjoy ourselves, with friends, and alone. Single parents should begin with creating a social network where they are able to be adults, with other adults, having adult conversation, and adult fun. By adult, I basically mean the ability to talk about the next presidential debate instead of which character on Twilight is the hottest, or sitting at a 21 and over bar with an expensive margarita instead of the Back-To-School night function eating In N Out Burgers and shakes.

Single Parents: Getting Back into Dating

Dating Tips for Single ParentsThe most important thing I realized when I was a single parent trying to start dating again was that honesty is the best policy. Before accepting a date invitation, or even a phone number, be sure that s/he is aware that you have children.Being honest about having children up front tackles a few things. First, if s/he runs, makes a snide remark, or even makes a strange face, you will know before ever going on the first date how they feel about your parental status. Alternately, if they start asking for names, ages, and
 possibly even interests, you will know immediately what to expect when s/he meets your child(ren) for the first time.Second, some people may feel that you lied by omission if you were not completely honest up front about having children. This may cause future issues if the relationship seems to be heading to the next level.Third, being honest right from the start about your child(ren) starts the future relationship on a higher level of trust than doing the opposite. We all know that without trust, there is not going to be a good relationship. Honesty builds trust.Introducing your child(ren) to the person you are dating does not have to be rushed. I always told my children that I met someone, this is his name, and this is what I think of our friendship thus far. I did not introduce anyone to my children too soon. The reasons to hold off the introductions are many, but mine were few.As a single mother, my children had already had heartache. Children often feel as though they have done something wrong when their parents split up, or even a sense that one of the parents abandoned them by moving out of the family home. Introducing a new man or woman to your child(ren) too soon may have the same effect if the relationship does not work out.The first time my children met someone I was dating would be at a public place they loved to visit, such as a pool, park, or a playground. Rather than introduce the ‘mystery man’ as the guy I have been seeing, I introduced him by name, and with the title of a friend.
