Group Blog

I’m starting a group blog.
I’ve been narrowing down some bloggers who I believe would be able to contribute greatly to this project. It’s not something I want to see continue indefinetly.

But I do want to try and put it together. At least try some dedicated blogging for at least six months. Maybe start by [...]

I Suffer From….Bruxism

Teeth grinding.

Shrek The Third

** out of five stars.
I was not impressed with this latest Sherk film. Frankly it fell flat on both a comical level as well as a “kid-friendly” type level. “Shrek the third,” was a terrible attempt to keep the Shrek series alive and well. I can recall maybe five (5) times I laughed throughout [...]

Now my stance on “shock jocks” is that they are just what they are described to be. Radio hosts whose main job is to shock [...]

Yolanda King Died

The (eldest) daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and Coretta Scott King, passed away yesterday, Tuesday May 15 in California.
