My Favorite TV Shows

My Favorite TV shows

        1). Legends of Tomorrow- this scifi show features several superheroes traveling 
     through time and fighting villains along the way. It is one of the CW shows that I 
     can tolerate. 

      2). Bob's Burgers- this animated sitcom features the Belcher family running their
     burger diner along with their precocious kids (Tina, Louise and Gene). 
  
      3). South Park- This show is about the residents of the town and 4 bratty kids. 
     Despite this show having lost its charm since it debuted in the 90's, it still has 
     biting social commentary.

      4). AEW Dynamite- Looking for an alternative to WWE? look no further than 
    AEW. This wrestling show on TNT features many popular wrestlers who have
    made names for themselves on social media as well as the indies. My favorite
    wrestlers are Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin.

     5). Robot Chicken- Stop motion skit show on Adult Swim. 

RIP Kobe Bryant (1978-2020)

Kobe Bryant (1978-2020)

          It is with heavy heart that retired the retired NBA superstar along with his daughter
   Gigi have passed away in a helicopter crash. Since being drafted in the 1997, Kobe's rise
   to super stardom began when he took his Lakers team to dominance in the 2000's and 
   creating a dynasty. 
          Kobe's career was tarnished by a scandal in 2003 when he was accused of rape by 
    a young groupie looking to get famous. Although the case was later dropped, Kobe
    also had a feud with fellow teammate Shaq.
          He not only was great player but also inspired a generation of younger players for 
   an unquenchable fire and grit.

Life Hacks 3

Life Hacks 3

     1. If your chap-stick is melted, stick in the fridge for a couple hours so it reforms

     3. Wrap a wet paper towel around a bottle and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes,
        take it out and it will be cold

     4. Use a muffin tin to serve condiments 

     5. Take a picture of your fridge to remember what you need to get

Marvel Director Leaves

Marvel Director Leaves

      It was recently announced that director Scott Derrickson has left Dr Strange 2 due to
   creative differences. It was rumored that he was going to take the sequel in a scarier 
   direction than previous Marvel movies. 

     Frankly, I don't blame Scott one bit. MCU chief Kevin Feige wanted to water down
   his movie to appeal to the masses. Why should the director have his vision comprimsed
    under the name of the almighty dollar.

       Scott was right right in leaving and much better off making his own movies the way
    he wants to. Unfortunately that means Marvel will hire someone that will answer to 
    them without disputes and the quality of Dr. Strange 2 will suffer because of it.

49ers: Playoff Edition

Image result for 49ers


      
         The 49ers are back in the playoffs for the first time since Jim Harbaugh was coach. 
    They will faceoff against Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings at Levis Stadium.
    Even though the 49ers are #1 seed, I see them barely eking out a win since they had 
    trouble against the dreaded Seahawks.
        Star tight end George Kittle should be deadly in the passing game as long as Jimmy 
   G gets rid of the ball faster in the pocket. Jimmy has Deebo Samuel to throw to.
         On the defensive side, end Dee Ford and linebacker Kwon Alexander return from
    being out for most of the season. Personally I think the 9ers are rushing them back 
    since the body needs time to heal.
        Luckily star rookie Nick Bosa will pressure Cousins into throwing the ball away
    and causing interceptions for Richard Sherman.
