Hell's Fury ( A poem about Hurricane Helene, one year later)
Hell's Fury came to Appalachia. In such a way us mountain folk have never seen before. Sure, we have lived through earthquakes and other stronger... Read More
My Wyldeflower ( A poem about creativity)
The spelling is intentional, I have had this stylized in my mind for a while. My beautiful lady, do you not see what you are capable of? An... Read More
Thank you for being a friend, Happy 40th anniversary to The Golden Girls.
Forty years ago today on September 14,1985 one of the greatest sitcoms of all time debuted on NBC. The show featured Beatrice Arthur as Dorthy, a sarcastic quick witted substitute teacher. Rue Mclanahan as Blanche, the sultry bed hopping flirt, Betty White as Rose, the sweet dimwitted lady you'd...
So I saw the new snow white movie and honestly….. it wasn’t that bad.
Yes I have heard of the controversy about this film. But quite frankly, it wasn’t a bad movie. It wasn’t great, but it was good for what it was. Many people criticized the role of Snow White being casted to a Latina actress Rachel Ziegler, however I feel like she did a fine job, and Gal Gadot...
Was our Childhood all a lie? The Nickelodeon Scandal.
The 90's was considered one of the best times to be a kid, if you were growing up in that era. Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network were red hot with children's programming. Getting Slimed on Double Dare was a dream for many just like going to Disneyland or on a cruise ship. Every kid wanted...
Five performers I would like to see in next year's halftime show
This year's Superbowl Halftime show with Usher, Alicia Keys, HER, Ludacris, Little John, and others was pretty good. But, here are five artists the NFL should consider in my opinion. Paramore This would be a good show for them, considering how last night's halftime show catered to millennials...
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" is still the best Christmas special almost 60 years later.
Picture the time, It's 1965 and a new Christmas Special is being advertised. However, this special was "special". This was the first time the Peanuts gang whom had been in the newspaper comics since 1950, was getting a chance to air on TV. The biggest problem was, they only had a six month...
King of the Hill is the best animated sitcom in history
An animated sitcom as American as apple pie and Texas. King of The Hill debuted in 1997 off the heels of creator Mike Judge's other show, "Beavis and Butt-Head," which was canceled by MTV. Mike Judge used much influence from Beavis and Butt-head for King of The Hill. He based the main character...
Some of my favorite 1970's jams
The seventies were one of the best decades in all of music. Although I was born in the 90's I would put the 70's as one of my favorite decades in music. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jwy4eIUBDvE https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XfmHyG8y-g https://www.youtube.com/embed/1sEDV3uSyx8...
Bluey is a really comforting show, and a training manual for parents (And parents to be)
Many good things have come out of Australia, such as Kangaroos, Vegemite, Steve Irwin, and The Wiggles. But have you heard of Australia's newest export? It's the hit preschool kids' cartoon called Bluey. This series is about a six-year-old Australian Blue Heeler named Bluey, her four-year-old...
HBO Max's new series Velma is pretty much an animated Riverdale/ Teen movie parody
In 1969, Scooby Doo first premiered on TV screens. It was considered at the time to be a sort of a ripoff of Archie. Going full circle 55 years later, Riverdale is now a teen/ young adult modernization of Archie, and Velma is the same treatment for Scooby Doo. Except, there is no Scooby-Doo, and...
My review of the Showtime series "George & Tammy"
(TW: Drug Use, Mental Illness, Electroshock therapy, alcoholism, domestic violence, premature birth, gaslighting, and manipulation) The year is 1965. Tammy Wynette (Real name Virginia Pugh) moves to Nashville, Tennessee, with her new husband, Don Chappel. This came after leaving her first...
"The Thanksgiving Table": A Thanksgiving poem by me
The cherry oak table is all adorned with a leaf pattern tablecloth. White crystal goblets sit at the head of fine China plates. A cornucopia of apples, grapes, and pears is set in the middle of the table. Pumpkin-scented candles at each end lit flicker their orangish glow. Mom is standing at the...
"Blue Ridge Fall," A poem about Fall in Appalachia
The autumn wind embraces the trees. A change in color blooms like "The Wizard of Oz" coming out of sepia tones The leaves crunch on the ground as footsteps tread over Make a big pile and jump on in Chilly nights and football lights take over the Carolina weather The harvest is almost ready for...
The new Fairly OddParents sitcom is... FAIRLY STUPID!!!
I am a huge fan of the original Fairly OddParents. At least the first couple seasons before Poof. But, the new sitcom is a bunch of hot sick ass. The plot is Timmy Turner's cousin and her stepbrother have to share Cosmo and Wanda (gee where have I seen this before?). We have also had live action...
How could Britain embrace a pedophile for fifty plus years?
I watched a Netflix documentary on Jimmy Saville, a man unknown to most Americans or anyone outside the UK/Ireland. From 1964 to 2012 Jimmy Saville was a well known DJ and entertainer in British culture. He was the host of "Top of the Pops", "Jim'll Fix It", and many other BBC shows. He also had...
"Last Night in Soho" is a swinging 60's psychological thrill ride.
Imagine a trip back to 60's England. The Beatles are on top of the charts, The British invasion is sweeping across the globe, Go Go dancers and mod fashion everywhere you go. Sounds like a James Bond or Austin Powers film doesn't it? Well, this isn't the case here. Here we have a full fledged,...
"Dark Fathoms of Lake Superior"- The story of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald
She was affectionately nicknamed " The Fitz" or " The Pride of the American side" . The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was a huge iron ore freighter that floated on Lake Superior from her docks in Superior, Wisconsin to other ports such as Duluth, Minnesota, Detroit, Michigan. Cleveland, Ohio, and Sault...
"The Con Game" Three things I love about comic cons!
When most people think of Comic Cons they think of comic books, superheroes, and cosplay. While they aren't wrong, it is so much more. I'm personally not a comic book guy myself, but I love the atmosphere of Comic Con. It's a place where one can let their nerdy side out without judgement or fear...
Stephen Reviews: "Cruella"
"Cruella DeVil, Cruella DeVil, If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will". True words of an iconic Disney villain song. In "101 Dalmations" she is the most feared villain to ever (dis) grace Disney. In the spirit of Disney's current live-action adaptation and origin story craze, they remade...
