‘Fences’

  Woo… The movie adaptation of August Wilson’s ‘Fences’ is fantastic.  Debatably the most well known play in the ten play cycle, Denzel directs the film version with virtually the entire cast in tact from the Broadway version that won him a Tony. ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ came to mind a lot while I watched […]

Song of the Day – ‘Hay’

  How long has it been since I’ve posted something of pure fun? This came through the playlist this week.  I can’t hear this song without thinking of the summer Inroads parties back home (Kansas City).  As a hip hop kid, this song always makes me think of ‘home’… Walking into the party, Greeks (which […]

Song of the Day – ‘Hallejuah’

  If you want to argue SNL has their fair share of blood on their hands for bringing the President-Elect into ‘normalcy’, I have no counter. I picked today’s song out of respect for Leonard Cohen, and to again ask the question: HOW TALENTED IS KATE MCKINNON?!?  

My Heroes

  Many thoughts still, but as of this writing, we still have at least eight years to cover that. In the meantime, you most likely knew I’d start this week with a sketch from last night’s SNL.  It was just a matter of which one. I still have to pick my spots with the interwebs […]

  So it’s the weekend. But truthfully… The silliness hasn’t really come back to me yet.  The timing isn’t right to be publicly lustful. So I leave you with this clip from Star Wars Rebels.  Read into it whatever you like. Have a good weekend.  

To Thunderous Applause

Where do I begin? Consoling my mother who thought she would vote a woman into the Oval Office in her lifetime? Trying to find something to say other than ‘I’m sorry’ to my friends who have children and have to try to explain to them (especially the girls) what happened and why? Pretending I have […]

One Last History Lesson…

  The gallows humor has begun! As we approach Judgment Day (literally), there’s been more ‘jokes’ in my tribe about how soon President Trump will deport us, and where we’ll go if we we’re given a choice. (Assuming he doesn’t just send me ‘back to where I came from’, I have thought about what it […]
