Public Confessions from Secret Admirer Page 2
By Anthony Douglas Gere
In the first two editions, it shows Sly Stallone’s character staying true to his roots and
foundation. Respecting the very morals and ethics that can lift a normal man, to heights he can
only imagine. His love for God, family, career, heritage and country, kept him balanced and
deterred any outside distractions from penetrating his nucleus for living, not surviving. As many
around him tried to sway him away from his initial purpose, his personal purpose revolved
around his simple, almost mono behavioral patterns. These important, yet forgotten qualities
that were based on his priorities and perspectives on what is truly important to him, are what
bring many of us down. As you enter into the third movie, you start to see him steering his roots
upward, instead of further downward. In exposing his foundation to the now starving public that
cosmetically desired his simplistic values, he gets caught up in the hype, and loses focus on
what and who he really is. What many forget in my opinion, nothing in life is real, unless you
truly believe in it. If you really look at Rocky’s character, his genius was his stupidity. His basic
belief system, allowed him to gain and harness his responsibilities into reaching out to bring
close his priorities. All of the glitz and glamour is not why he fought. His desire to provide for
himself the best way he believed he could was. It was his pregnant wife, not the
commercials, celebrity life or now interested big-breasted blonde bombshells. It was his
admiration for his trainer, not the statue that was built in his honor outside of the arena he
fought in. It wasn’t the Lamborghini that drove him to the top, it was his heart, and that was
in the absolute right place, before he allowed it to be moved. Sly Stallone is a true
champion in finding a way to bring his abilities to life in these movies. After being a
has-been actor that never really got started, he wrote, starred and directed the series of
Rocky and Rambo movies. This man didn’t allow the stereotypes, so called experts or
outside distractions deter him. One can judge or measure ones abilities, but you can
never measure a persons heart, desire, passion and drive to succeed. In growing up
needing to want more out of myself, watching Rocky, Wall Street, Meet Joe Black, The
Notebook, Rudy and even Al Bundy or Chevy Chase in those vacation movies, brought
upon a feeling of sheer gratitude. The basic principles in remembering where you
came from, and how important it is to never lose focus on where you are trying to go, is
much more rewarding. This is life to me, and that, if nothing else, is why I feel I am now
depositing much more into my account, than just money.
So now as I am confessing my thoughts and visualizing my views and visions, I’m
feeling empowered by a new and improved way of living. If I may quote a phrase from
the great singer-songwriter Tim McGraw, “ In the past I was a real bad boy, but now I’m
a real good man”, in my opinion (smile). I’m nowhere near the person I w ant and
need to be, but I’m putting distance on the person I was and didn’t want to be and like
being. I’m at a point where I will sell my soul, to fill someone else’s heart. I’m not in
complete desperation, but I am desperately seeking an internal fulfillment. In a
approach to leave more to my love ones here and not yet conceived, I want to be
remembered for more than just the norm. This isn’t about leaving behind just
tangible things, money, materialistic objects or writings like these. This is about
leaving them something that they can give to someone else in spirit, knowledge and
passion. Faith, hope, belief, support and desire, are also part of the ingredients I
wish for them to use to bake their cake. This goes as far as it starts, and will never
end up, and giving or providing the main entree in between the appetizer and dessert
at each meal or moment. This displays the journey through the peaks and valleys, not
just the depths and pinnacles. I’ve become teary eyed as I give away all that I have
gained to wipe my face, as I pour out my soul to you and everyone else that now knows
how empty and bankrupt my soul is. I often write and talk about the things that love and
hate can do, but rarely do I communicate the pitfalls and penthouses that are built in its
aftermath. Some have said that my writings are too lengthy, me, too self absorbed and
others many more things I don’t want to bore you with. But I can’t tailor them to anyone’s
liking, for I don’t like some of the things I feel and write about myself. I’m cleansing my
soul, releasing my demons and putting myself out there, to hopefully gain a better
understanding about the world. There are those that think I write for money, exposure or
fame.
