Steve Jobs was an aspiring cowboy hitchhiker
Steve Jobs is often described a eccentric artist, hippie rebel and enlightenment seeker. His work was reflective of these contradictory aspects. He was multifaceted in his personality. His biography is a fascinating study of the man's life. For those who admire Apple’s unusual combination of talent, eccentricity and genius, this biography is essential reading.
The first story about Jobs comes from his early years. Reed College's rigorous course requirements disillusioned him as a kid. He wanted to be able to choose classes that suited his interests. He was also unsure of what direction he wanted his life to take. He felt like his parents were wasting their money. He quit, but he knew he would make it work.
FAQ
Is there an Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. As far as we know, the names aren't even known. But, here's why it matters.
The secret reason is that directors and actors who are on the blacklist would not be able to find employment. This would result in studios losing money as the actors and directors would have to go out on their own. That would result in a reduction in spending on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. This would make them bankrupt.
This could eventually lead to more victims.
A contract may be required to agree to not speak against employers if someone attempts to make an Oscar winning movie. Producers and directors who want to be nominated are subject to the same restrictions.
You hear stories of directors being pressured to remove scenes from films. Directors may threaten to quit projects that don’t align with their vision.
This is why Hollywood has a blacklist. Negative comments about your employer will most likely lead to you being unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
There are many people who have been falsely accused. They have had to fight for their freedom.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. Everybody should be able to freely express themselves.
We must get rid of the Hollywood blacklist.
What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
The heart pumps out approximately 5 liters of blood per minute. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
Blood flows throughout the heart 24 hours per day, 365 Days a Year. While you sleep, your heart beats almost 100 times per minute.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These tiny vessels transport blood from the larger blood vessels to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. Doctors will insert a needle under the skin to access the vein near the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is full secret societies. Some are cult-like groups where members follow strict rules and rituals, while others are simply clubs for those who share common interests.
Some of the most powerful organizations in the industry are even more dangerous. There are companies like the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), who sets film ratings and the RIAA, which sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It doesn't matter how secretive a group might seem, someone somewhere knows what they are doing. But we don't have to fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they offer us information that can help us make better decision.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They help us make decisions about what we will buy, watch, listen to, or read.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
Observe why they are important.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors are usually very talented, meaning they can make a living almost anywhere. Actors don't really care about making money. Actors love to act and tell stories. If you are an actor, you will most likely put yourself out there.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. It happens all the times.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes they ask for you to sound like a male or female. Most times, though, they want you to sound better.
To ignore criticisms is the best way to respond. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
Blacklisting can happen for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the entire world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. But there's also nothing worse than seeing them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We have all heard of celebrities who overdosed on drugs and alcohol. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. We found ourselves in that situation last week.
After a long and successful career, Heath Ledger finally succumbed to his demons. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and close friends had difficulty accepting his death. The media took to him publically.
Heath was once considered one of the most talented actors working today. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath did more than act. He also directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball and Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He started to use drugs and drink heavily. He ended up in rehab and became clean.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. It was supposed that it would be released this year but it won't make its debut in theaters until next.
Heath tried unsuccessfully to get into Hollywood again, but nothing happened. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We're not saying Heath should have been allowed back into show business. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath’s tale will be a wakeup call to anyone who may believe that they can still have all.
