Christianity Doesn’t Absolve You From Following All The Rules Others Do

Ok, show of hands, who the hell knew who Bobbi Storm was before this week? I’m going to be blunt with all Christian figures. No one really cares about your faith other than you. No one wants you to tell us about your love of Jesus and God. No one wants to try to makeContinue reading “Christianity Doesn’t Absolve You From Following All The Rules Others Do”

How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?

I’m going to be brutally honest. I’m getting very tired of how bad things are getting. And while this might offend some, I think people need to quit letting their faith and religion dictate how things should work. Why can’t people just go to church on Sunday and be the usual hypocrites they were whenContinue reading “How Much Worse Does It Have To Get Before It Gets Better?”

We’re Not Making The Same Mistakes Again, But We’re Making All New Ones

Today is Jeff Goldblum’s 71st birthday. And while I wish the actor a happy birthday, I remember the line between him and Sir Richard Attenborough in The Lost World: Jurassic Park where Attenborough’s John Hammond says, “Don’t worry, we’re not making the same mistakes again” to which Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm says, “You’re making allContinue reading “We’re Not Making The Same Mistakes Again, But We’re Making All New Ones”

How Piper Laurie Gave Horror Movies One Of Its Greatest Villains

By the time, Piper Laurie accepted the role of Margaret White in Brian DePalma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, she hadn’t appeared in a movie for almost 15 years since her Oscar-nominated performance in The Hustler. She had been doing TV work up until the mid-1960s before she took time off for about a decade.Continue reading “How Piper Laurie Gave Horror Movies One Of Its Greatest Villains”

This Is Isreal’s War, Not Ours

Let me start by saying, I find it horrible to hear of the attacks by the terrorist organization Hamas against the people of Isreal. I can’t begin to think what the people there are going through of their family elsewhere who have to watch in horror. A young woman I follow on social media wasContinue reading “This Is Isreal’s War, Not Ours”

Please Help If You Can, This Family Really Needs Any And All Help

I know many of you are spread out throughout the world. I appreciate you all being subscribers and I hope you share my posts when you can. Earlier this month, I heard some sad news. My step-niece’s son, Ryder Reamy, passed away following an accident. He was my step-niece’s youngest and the second son sheContinue reading “Please Help If You Can, This Family Really Needs Any And All Help”

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

After college, I took a job working as a reporter for the Americus Times-Recorder in Americus, Ga. The town was located in southwest Georgia maybe about 10 miles from Plains, where former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, live to this day. It was your typical small town in the south with the fewContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Mr. President!”

‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance

A movie like Se7en, or just Seven as it’s sometimes shown, is quite possibly one of the most profound, unusually disturbing but provocative movies Hollywood has churned out in his history. The fact that it contains a rising heartthrob like Brad Pitt alongside a revered actor like Morgan Freeman and is so dark and unsettlingContinue reading “‘Se7en’ Is A Commentary On Human Cruelty, Apathy And Vengeance”

Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime

Ok, show of hands – who hasn’t watched the news the last few weeks with a certain malaise that you kinda expected all this. Jimmy Fallon, who spent years, making us believe he was a squeaky-clean cornfed white-boy comic may be a drunk who spent the last nine years making The Tonight Show a toxicContinue reading “Hypocrisy Is Becoming America’s New Pasttime”

You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump

I’ve often said that if Al Gore had been president, 9/11 or something like it would’ve still happened. It may not have happened on this day. It would’ve been March 23 or Nov. 17. And they may not have struck in New York City or The Pentagon. But a phantom menace was brewing in theContinue reading “You’re Disrespecting 9/11 Victims By Continuing To Support Trump”
