Take Some Time To Smell The Roses

I had intended to write up a post of Cobra Kai‘s first half of their sixth and final season today. But I overestimated the amount of work I can do on my body even with the nice 80-something degree temperatures. I ran some errands earlier today and went swimming doing some exercises but after showeringContinue reading “Take Some Time To Smell The Roses”

Biden’s Dropping Out Might Be The Queen’s Sacrifice No One Saw Coming

Republicans never think ahead. Even Project 2025 or Agenda 47 or whatever they call it, will do more damage in the long run. But they don’t care. All they want is to remain in power. Last week might have started off great for the 45th President with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissing the federalContinue reading “Biden’s Dropping Out Might Be The Queen’s Sacrifice No One Saw Coming”

‘Death Wish’ At 50 Still Touches On Topics Open For Much Debate Today

When it was released in July of 1974, Death Wish struck a nerve with audiences. By the 1970s, the war on drugs seemed to have created more crime in metropolitan areas. Brian Garfield had wrote the novel after his wife’s purse was stolen. Last House on the Left had been released the same year asContinue reading “‘Death Wish’ At 50 Still Touches On Topics Open For Much Debate Today”

We Need To Talk About Our Judicial Court System

In the past week, America has seen two of the biggest problems with the American Judicial Court System. But the biggest problem is one that it shouldn’t be – biased. On Friday, July 12, Alec Baldwin went to court on a trial on one felony charge of involuntary manslaughter in Sante Fe County, N.M. forContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Our Judicial Court System”

Richard Simmons Was An Inspiration

Richard Simmons was what happened when you crossed Slim Goodbody’s appearance with the energetic attitude of Robin Williams and the ever-loving sentiment of Fred Rogers. Some people just manage to take advantage of growing trends and run with it. By the time Simmons, born Milton Teague, moved to the Los Angeles area in the 1970s,Continue reading “Richard Simmons Was An Inspiration”

Trump Brought This Upon Himself

Twenty years ago when the Republican National Convention was held, delegates mocked then Democrat President nominee John Kerry by wearing heart-covered bandages. They were criticizing Kerry who had served in Vietnam War and gotten wounded thus receiving the Purple Heart. He actually received three Purple Hearts. The tasteless side of the Republican Party didn’t startContinue reading “Trump Brought This Upon Himself”

We Need To Talk About Project 2025

If you’ve been living under a rock on Mars with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears, all you’ve heard about for the past two weeks is whether President Joe Biden is too old to run for re-election and should he step down. However, there’s been little discussion on why a major politicalContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Project 2025”

Shelley Duvall Shined Bright

When I first saw The Shining many, many years ago, I really hated Shelley Duvall’s performance. I had known her mostly as Olive Oyl in the live-adaptation musical Popeye. At 5-foot-8, she was slightly taller than other actresses and her thin waifish body made her the best to play the role. She had rose toContinue reading “Shelley Duvall Shined Bright”
