2/8/15-NOW!!!!

HI!!!!!!!!


I don't even know where to start. Its been a week of love and tomfoolery. Politics and shenanigans. Overreactions and overdoses... 

But, we're only human, right (#onlyhumanbythehumanleagueismyfavoritesong)?  Things will happen.  It is what we do that defines who we are as humans. How do our reactions go? Let's see...

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY
Trump won for the Republican side. This proves only one thing... People in NH are really REALLY stoned. Its not like there's anything else to do up there. If you don't have a maple/chocolate/beer making business, all you can do is ski. If you don't ski/snowboard/ski-doo, the only option after is to get high. New Hampshire offers some of the best weed on the eastern seaboard. Get into it.
Winning the primary DOES NOT guarantee winning the "Primary Primary" or the election, however, as I've said before it does give you a head start. Plus, Trump will never win the "Primary Primary".  I think the American people know the difference between what's good for the country and a turbo rich demagogue.  He will not win. That's my word.

Bernie Sanders won for the Democrat side. I (for one) have absolutely no problem with that. Not only is he ADORABLE but he's also the man. His views seem radical but that's what we need right now and I "Feel The Bern".

I'm still voting for Hilary.

In spite of the Sanders vs Clinton meme:

But, going back to Bernie Sanders, that was sexist but, moving on, he's hit a milestone already. He's the first Jew to ever win a Presidential Primary.  That's us coming a long way.  I've always been pro-racial equality and that is for every race.

DMX "Overdose"

 Rapper DMX was found unresponsive on the ground in a parking lot in Yonkers (a part of The Bronx)last Wednesday evening. His team said he had an asthma attack however TMZ says differently. They reported that he was given Narcan which is administered to prevent Heroin overdoses. I don't know what's going on with DMX but my prayers go out to him.  Its always a shame to see such talent go to waste.  Sure, he's getting up there in age but he has enough hits that he can do shows for the rest of his professional life. Not only is he a great MC but he's also a very gifted actor. I really hope that he gets through the slump he's in a returns to being the X we all know and love.

And Now... MORE SEQUELS!!!
I've been talking about sequels forever (just the past few weeks) and 2016 is the year for it. However, there are some things in the works that indicate that the future is bright on the regurgitated Hollywood front (I say that because nothing is original that comes from Hollywood. If they really wanted originality they'd read one of my screenplays but that's neither here nor there). First up, the announcement of Bad Boys 3. That's right! Will Smith and Marin Lawrence are back and ready to do what they do best: Be funny, blow up stuff and hopefully have another Will Smith slow motion running with his shirt open scene. There are also rumors of a Bad Boys 4 to follow but, I guess we'll have to see if that claim holds its validity. Also, break out the Roman numerals because Saw 8 is in the works. Jigsaw might have died in Saw 3 but his ideology obviously will continue to live on in what is to be known as "Saw: Legacy". Its stated to be a sequel and not a concluding chapter. What does this mean for the franchise? I'm not too sure but come 2017, I will be most excited to find out.
Speaking of sequels... I'm not sure if this counts but I'll mention anyway that Harry Potter part 8 will be published this summer.

"Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" deals with Harry who is all grown up and dealing with a magical son of his own.  July 31st will be a day that muggles everywhere will be rejoicing at their local Barnes & Nobles.
Plus: (This is not a sequel but its worthy of mentioning because I still can't believe its happening)The reboot of Cabin Fever is in theaters this week. The Eli Roth cult classic is reported to have the almost the same script yet different actors making it a pretty easy job. This reboot is reported to be pretty much the same movie but a million times better. I thoroughly enjoy the "Horror Porn" that Eli Roth provides along with the original Cabin Fever (and not just because it had Rider Strong who I LOVE) so, if they're saying that this film is better, I'm beyond down to check it out. You can see the trailer here:

Oh, yeah... I'm super excited right now.

Fake Doogie Howser Arrested For Posing as a Doctor (SMFH)
When I was in my late teens-early 20s, I knew quite a few hustlers. However, this kid, totally takes the cake.  Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested by West Palm Beach Police (that lasted almost two weeks)for practicing medicine without a license after an investigation that lasted almost two weeks. The 18 year old (who claimed to be 25 on his HealthGrades.com profile) claims that although there's a "Dr." in front of his name, he never claimed to be an "M.D.". That explanation wasn't worth a damn to police after an undercover officer went to the teen's "practice" where Love-Robinson proceeded to give him a physical, provided medical advice and offered to treat him. What makes this more unbelievable is that this isn't the first time he's been in hot water over this. He was served with a ceae-and-desist order in October after a tip came in that he was practicing medicine without a license. Now... After that, how he was able to start the New Birth New Life Medical Center (where he was arrested) is beyond me. If you claim that you never stated that you're a medical doctor, why in the Sam Hill are you a "Doctor" that's the head of a medical center, performing physicals and giving MEDICAL advice??? You can see the website for the "medical center" here: http://www.nbnlmedicalcenter.com/staff.html
That link is to the "Staff" page. I wanted you to see that page in particular (You can check out the rest of the site which is bootleg, tragic and just plain BS) because I wanted you to see a photo of "Dr." Malachi Love-Robinson "PhD, HHP-C, AMP-C".

DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A 25 YEAR OLD DOCTOR TO YOU?!?!?!?!? Please. If you don't practice medicine, why in the hell do you have a stethoscope around your neck?  The "HHP-C" title is given to those who practices home health/personal care (key word being "HEALTH").  "AMP-C" isn't even a medical title (unless he's an active metallic photonic crystal or a class C betalactamse)!   The "staff" also has two other members with descriptions that sound just as shady as the kid's (aside from making no sense and having misspelled words galore).  One thing I will say is that this kid is probably one of the most inventive, original and straight up ballsy criminals I've seen so far this year. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how things play out.

Well... That's it. I hate closing on a sad note but I have to say a big Rest In Peace to my girl (in my head) Big Ang.

Seriously... Who doesn't love Big Ang?

She was truly the best thing to ever hit reality TV and the best thing to come out of Staten Island since Wu-Tang. Angela "Big Ang" Raiola lost her battle with cancer early yesterday morning at the age of 55.  I love all of the Mob Wives but she was definitely my favorite out of the cast.  Her speech was uncensored, she was fun loving and a peace-maker. The world won't be the same without her and my prayers go out to her family and friend. Hopefully, the rest of the Mob Wives crew acts right towards each other because life is too short to be fighting over little nonsense.

That's all for this week, kids. Please share, comment, read, comment some more and then share again. Talk to you in a few days.

BYEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

BACK AGAIN!!!

Hello!

Its been a while since I've been writing in public but I'm very happy to be writing my first post on my new blog (YAY!). To tell you a bit about me, I'm a Bostonian that has been a writer since I was 8 years old. Teachers would assign me book reports and I would turn in college level essays. I moved to NYC 9 years ago to pursue dreams of being a screenwriter. Unfortunately, being a starving artist isn't as romantic as portrayed in the movies so I had to make my mark in the Real Estate and Automotive industries. But, I kept writing. After reading some of my work, one critic (my mother) told me "You've been pushing the envelope since you were a child. Why don't you just stick to what you were born to do?".  One could only surmise just from that statement alone that I'm a born writer.  That person surmising would be absolutely correct. Mix that fact with a spoonful of tenacity, a cup of intelligence, two tablespoons of quick wit, a dash of love for a good laugh... Bring to a boil and serve while hot-- This is a recipe for AWESOMENESS. This is what I hope to deliver to you on a weekly basis. I'll be commenting on the week's top political and entertainment news. As a citizen of this country (The U S of A), I feel that we all have a voice and should express our opinions. Good or bad. Pretty or ugly. Dirty or grimy. I'm hear to speak my mind and share my thoughts. Thank you so much for taking some time out of your day to chill with me. Now... Let's get started.

POLITICS
This presidential race has been an ugly one particularly on the Republican side. The only thing happening with the democrats is what's up with Hillary's emails (who cares) and is Bernie going to continue to be the indie raging bull he has been. Seriously... Who cares about Hillary's emails. They say it goes to her credibility. I'll tell you this... If you watch any big, scary alien attack movie and some officials say "Let's not tell the American people what's going on because they'll freak out" that's because its true. We will freak out. That's what happened with Benghazi and that's what's happening now. Americans don't need to know what's going on because Americans are stupid (Shut up, they are) and will fly off the handle with the fuel fired media and run amuck. No one needs that. This is for your own good so, to speak plainly, fall back.

Then there is Ben Carson. Usually, if there's a Black guy running for politics we, as African Americans, are usually all behind him. After all his shenanigans, I'm voting for the White guy (or most likely WOMAN).

And now onto "The Don" Donald Trump. His hair isn't real, BTW.  He's talking about Ted Cruz, Rubio, Christie, Mexicans... When will everyone realize that this is all for publicity and to shift your focus from what's really important. And, when I say what's really important, I mean EVERYTHING ELSE!  How do you (the media) devote days (even weeks) to debunking or invalidating Trump's accusations. This is the same man who said Putin is a good guy. Am I taking crazy pills?!? Is anyone but me seeing how ass-backwards this is?!? Trump is good for ratings and definitely for laughs. I mean... That comb-over is not his real hair. Its not. But, I will tell you this, Donald Trump will not make the Republican Primary. If he does...

REPENT NOW!!!

THE END IS NEAR!!!

And, that's all I have to say about that.

Moving on...

ENTERTAINMENT
There were a few amazing developments in the entertainment world last week. Star Wars: The Force Awakens has beaten Avatar as the biggest movie of all time. This is, of course, until James Cameron drops Avatar 2 next year. This will be the second Avatar movie in what is rumored to be a four film series. We'll see how this battle plays out with 2 more Star Wars episodes written and ready to go in the coming years. I've got popcorn ready.

Adam Sandler's Netflix comedy "The Ridiculous Six" has had the most streams in 30 days of release in Netflix history since premiering just last month. Most were definitely not expecting this kind of response with all of the negative reviews the movie had received. However, the crew over at Happy Madison is definitely getting the last laugh. "The Ridiculous Six" is the first of four original movies coming to Netflix from Sandler after signing a huge deal with the streaming company last year. "The Ridiculous Six", a spoof of the Western "The Magnificent Seven", is absolutely hysterical. And, if that's not enough, it has a side-splitting star-studded cast including the usually ridiculously hot Taylor Lautner as a buck-toothed halfwit. Absolutely spectacular (in my opinion) and definitely a must see if you're in the mood to laugh your ass off.

The fashion house of Louis Vuitton has released a short film showcasing its 2016 Spring/Summer campaign entitled "The Heroine"in which a group of girls model the house's best pret-a-porter. The short also stars Jaden Smith who is also modeling LV women's wear.

Apparently, this has people in an uproar. Why? I'm not necessarily sure. One person I spoke to said that it was because Jaden is modeling women's clothes. What kind of close-minded nonsense is that? It is 2016. People can love who ever they want. People can pretty much do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I'm assuming that includes them wearing whatever they want, as well. When I was in high school, I hung out with  lot of punk rock kids. One of those kids wore a kilt. He was not considered effeminate. He was actually pretty bad ass. Years later, Kanye and Lil' Wayne also wore skirts. They were bad ass too. However, its my opinion that Kanye and Lil' Wayne received more scrutiny because they're members of the Hip Hop community which has always held their men to a high standard of "Machismo".  I'm glad that we as a society are moving (slowly but surely) into a direction of acceptance for all but we all need to get with the program. There are so many bigger issues to be concerned with than who is wearing what. If someone (man or woman) wants to bedizen themselves in some grand "Hunger Games" style, who cares??? If they are not hurting anyone, I say, go for it.

I hate to close on a sad note but I can't complete this post without saying rest in peace to the legendary creative genius, David Bowie. My prayers go out to his family and equally legendary wife, Iman.

Today is Monday, January 11th. Just an FYI, I will be posting on Fridays. This was an off week so, sorry about that. But, I appreciate the love and any comments you may have and we'll talk again in a few days!
