Random Things   ~ Jaden Smith in a dress: Okay, this sounds like a joke, but it isn't. For some reason, Jaden decided to wear a dress for a stupid promotional for Louis Vuitton. I am not sure if this is supposed to be a statement or just shitty way to get people talking about their brand. It should also be noted that Vuitton has permission to use FF character Lightening. Anyway, when your family is connected to a few cults, your son in a dress isn't that special. What the f' does all this mean?   ~Captain America one: Okay, this movie really holds up. While I think Captain America 2 is a way better film, the first movie does stand up. It is clearly a tribute to those WWII movies from the 60s. And, Tommy Lee Jones is great as the tough leading officer. And, I like that Captain 2 works on the threads from the first movie. I also like that Cap always has a team with him no matter what. (now, it is the Avengers)  ~ Bill Cosby Arrested : I am...

2016, Welcome, and have a seat.   2016, please be good to me.   2015 was one of the worst years of my life. My body turned in on itself and I ended up in the hospital. I am still recovering. Then I lost two family members to cancer and lost a very close uncle. One of my former writing friends lost his wife to cancer. I can't seem to comprehend why people celebrate the end and beginning of a year. At this point, I just want 2016 not to be shitty. It just feels like this year is going to be bad too. 

You're Fat and Ugly Card Hey, I want someone to hand me one of these things . However, given that I am a tall big black man, I am almost certain one of these hipster douche bags will not give me one.  A young lady in the UK got this card while on the subway, (not the restaurant). (Now, it does seem strange that this card was handed to a young lady that is in way fat, which seems odd) I guess these hipsters have been giving out these “cards against fat” all over the place. From Sean K on twitter, (( Young man just got on train at Oxford Circus, gave printed card saying YOU'RE FAT to overweight girl. He jumped off. She read it, & cried. )) I at first thought this was just real life trolling. However. you see, this feels like an extreme leftist thing that goes beyond the fat-shaming trend, but leans so far left into “Food Shaming”. Because you eat so much food, you're shaming those that can't afford to get fat like you. I still get a kick out of...

 It seems this cartoon is causing a bit of an outcry... You know what? I actually find this cartoon rather amusing and true. There is no way I'd give my children a BB gun due to the fact they are likely to get shot by some overzealous cops. Besides, this is parody, relax, PD . It's referencing A Christmas Story, but with a twist. And, I am not even sure any kid would get a BB gun these days.   And, you're only going to cause trouble with a BB gun.  

  Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Part 2 of 3) As I wrote before, JJ and the other writers went out of their way to make the new characters as interesting as possible. I really couldn't find one boring or stupid character out of the new batch. Even the smaller villains have something interesting traits right down to some of the Stormtroopers. I think these new characters fit into the newer environment with ease. Remember this is set 30 odd years after ep6. So, the universe they live in is much different. The old cast is just great in their old roles. Each old character gets a “Hey remember me moment.” I love seeing these old friends I grew up watching finally come back. Plus, there are nice interactions between the old and new cast members. And, I love every minute of these interactions. BB-8: I truly love this character a lot. He is one of my favorite characters from the new cast. He has as much personally as R2-D2, but completely different. This robot has ...

 ST. Matthews Mall riot? Because I am totally out of the loop about local things, I only heard about this incident from a rider I drove from the airport. They were out of town and heard about it in that city they were in. They mentioned it to me and I had no idea what had happened. They couldn't believe the news stated that 2 thousand teenagers ran amok in the east-end of a Louisville Mall. Now, I could say ST. Matthews isn't part of Louisville, because it has its own police force, but it is a part of Louisville. Jeffersontown, ST. Matthews and Louisville PD had to come in to calm things down. When I see news reports, I keep seeing black teens running pass the camera and people aren't really addressing it. Remember, we had an incident on the waterfront were a mob of black teens went on a rampage attacking people,cars and stores. Again, people didn't address this factor in reporting it. We had another incident happen in Memphis where a bunch of t...

Break into a Taco Joint become viral I love the humor these owners have over a horrible thing that happened. And, who breaks into a closed taco place? That seems like a crackhead thing to do to me. I also like how they make this into ad for their store as well. I am willing to go to this place just because of the clever ad. BTW, the taco joint receives really good reviews . And, the cash boxes they stole didn't have any money in them . What a bunch of stupid people. 

Do people still use Machinima? I remember a bunch of partners leaving the network after all the bullshit that came out about them. Are they even as strong as they were before? I just haven't heard about them in years.  

“Back in high school, you and I wouldn't have gotten along very well.” I said this statement to a guy I was friendly with at work. He was a bit dismayed by that statement, but it was true. He was a sports guy that generally had a lot of girlfriends in school and was very popular. I wasn't trying to be mean, but we would have never gotten along in high school due to the social structure during the 90s. Now, given the way geek-culture has become popular, I actually get along with people that I would have otherwise hated and been jealous of back in the day. Things have changed. Because of the new Star Wars movie, I seeing people who otherwise would beat the shit out of the kid that wore or played with Star Wars merchandise. And, it sort of got me upset because these are the same people that would tease and beat the shit out of these nerds and geeks, and now they fully embrace it. Heck, you have “normal” folks talking about geeky things like Marvel's civil war...
