High Prices,3D IMax & Bad Remakes...Your new night at the Movies?!

Another day another issue is what my counselor in college used to say around this time of the year, but thankfully I'm not in

college around this time of the year. So with that said I want to thank each and every one of you for the feed back that you've

given me on my blog post as well as the support that you've shown me, and with that said its time to get down to business!

Movie theaters as we know it are changing dramatically by what seems like the day. So you thinking about going out on a

date or just going out with some friends to check out the newest blockbuster staring (insert name here) be prepared to dig

deep!

After standing on the long lines inside the lobbies that include everything from crying ass babies, teenagers, old people, pan

handlers and occasional drunk people,





you make it to the ticket window and as for two tickets, now depending on the the type of movie that your trying to see

(either Imax or not) your about empty half of your wallet



an

Now its like this if your going to see a regular movie, single ticket your looking at $13.50 and if your on a date your looking

at $27.00 damn dollars now really who they think want to pay that damn much for a movie ticket?! really? but then its gets

worse. lets say you want to see a movie in IMAX, now I haven't been to any IMAX theaters yet just for the simple fact I am not

looking forward to paying 14.50 and in some special cases $16.00 damn dollars for one movie tickets and don't let me get

Started on the price for two IMAX tickets.

So with that said me move onto the the over priced concession stand and I do mean over priced concession stand the

pictures speak for themselves







and this is just the popcorn and the fountain drinks, we haven't even looked at the over priced candy and bottle water.

So I'll say this the smart thing to do in this situation is sneak your snacks in! and why not? it saves you extra money

and the time and hassle of dealing with long lines.

So Now we move on to my next topic of discussion, IMAX and 3D movie



While this may sound like a good edition to the newest way to watch a movie along with the invention to the Bluray

(whoever invented that needs a Nobel peace prize A.S.A.P) Why does everything have to be in 3D? seriously!




What am I gonna get blood on my face from the movie prop? is Shrek gonna jump out at me? really?!





And why does the volume have to be so damn loud? can you imagine if this IMAX thing was around, when

movies such as Die Hard, Lethal weapon, Terminators and the Matrix's were out in theaters? Do you have any idea how def

and hearing impaired some of us would be by now? Not only do we get to leave the theater with severe migraine headaches

but we also get to leave with loss of hearing also (your thinking it, I'm just saying it).

And now to my final topic of discussion, some body should really tell Hollywood that they are about to destroy classic movies

from the 80's as we know it, take these two movies for example








We all know the plot, we all know the characters we've seen all of the sequels (some were good some were bad) and we all

well maybe some of us own the entire collection on DVD. So why does Hollywood Keep trying to trash classic movies like

these? Just makes no sense for good movies to be remade into trash! that's right I said it TRASH! (your thinking it I'm saying it!)

So with that said somebody tell these people to STOP IT!!!! go trash up movies that we really don't care about like Free Willy.....

Oh wait they are remaking Free Willy! smh BlackBerry straight Face

Til Next time...Leave ya Comments on the page and please tell a friend to tell a friend!

Part 2 Mohawks,Skinny saggin jeans, ACG & Polo boots

Its rare that i get inspired to write as much as I've been doing lately, let me start off by saying thanks to every one for the

feed back that you gave me on part 1, and now its time for part 2 just as i promised that I would.

Like I've been saying before the 80's are trying to make a come back with a vengeance! its the year 2010 and the world is

seeing various signs of things that occurred in the 80s making a reoccurring role in today's society, the different style of music

videos (check Rhianna rude boy video to any 80s pop video) to TV shows being turned into movies (see the A team movie)

we've recently been seeing fashion as I've been mentioned in part 1 being brought back, most recently the Mohawk.



This trend is sweeping the world every where these days, you've seen this on guys as well as girls, regular people



as well as celebrities.








While I'm not the type of person to bash people about their choice of fashion I will say this, when I was younger if you sat in

a barber chair and told him you wanted a Mohawk you were snapped on and laughed out of the chair and the shop

and to walk around in the street with this insane hair cut was just society suicide.

(in other words people laughed and pointed finger at you everywhere you went)


But I will say this, with all the fashions that we've seen come and go so far when are they bringing back

The shearling coats, flatops and Gumpy hair styles? ( do any of you young kids know about this?)











And with that said its time to move on to my next topic of discussion. In what was dubbed the worse trend of the 90s and is

still be used by today's youth, ladies and gentlemen the pants sagging trend.




While I'll admit as a youth and away from my moms I would sag my pants

( i made sure to pull them shits up before i got home) just to fit in with my classmates at the time, but then something

happened I grew up early and realized that i hated pulling up my damn pants every 2 damn minutes! from that point on I made

sure that I didn't leave the house with out a belt on, which brings me to todays youth, pull ya damn pants up young man!

we don't wanna see your boxers and in some cases nasty ass!!

If you've never been witness to this trend then obviously you've been living under a rock for god knows how long? here's a

little chart of this whole pants sagging trend.



From the sagging trend a offspring was born in what may be the secound or third (depending on how you rate it) worse trend

of America, known as the tight jean era aka Skinny jeans.



I think this trend might have started with the rock stars who some how inspired future rappers (insert name here) who in

turn inspired todays youth, now I dont know about about some of you but as a person of a certain age I like my pants to

fit on my ass right, not tight, not baggie but just right! besides as a guy I walk around with too much in my pockets to wear

skinny jeans (keys, wallet, phone...).

Not only has this trend become a must wear fashion in todays society

(i dont think any man of a certain age should be following this by the way) but it has some how linked back with its

predecessor of the past the saggin pants trend, so as it stands in todays society

Skinny Jeans + sagging = this



I can go on forever on what's wrong with this picture but I can't so I'll simply say it like this, I'll be glad when this trend is

DONE!

Now with that said its time to move on to my last topic of discussion ACG and Polo boots







I'll admit I am not a fan of either of these thing, not only do they both cost too damn much

(unless u can afford them and pay your phone bill in the same month) but they are simply just ugly! plain and simple as that

these thing look like hiking boots! but yet people of different ages are wearing them and I just won't ....unless im going

hiking in the woods..lol

With that said leave ya comments on the page dont be a stranger!

Til next time

Butt cleavage,Lip rings, half shaved heads and Uggs boots..The new Trends of the Future? part 1

Before I begin writing this new blog i would like to thank every one who tune in and read my works and thanks for the feed

back,

I don't write things to bash people I simply just write things that i witness in the ever changing world that we live in, and for

my new readers be sure to check out my past writings just to catch up and please everybody leave your comments on the

page, I love to hear your feed back.

Now to start This new blog, this will be part one of a two part blog, as you can see from the title there are somethings that

need to be discussed, how about we start off with this thing called butt cleavage that is constantly displayed in our faces





Sure we all like a nice female ass rather they be small, large, medium or in some cases apple bottom but who gave the green

light for the whole butt cleavage style? and why is it that females (some not all) refuse to wear belts these days?


(I'll get to males issues in part 2 bare with me for now)



Now this is just my opinion and maybe some of you might agree with me on this, but what the point of not wearing a belt all

day when you know your going to be pulling sliding pants up all day?



how can a female get offended when she catches a guy looking at her butt cleavage? My answer is she cant because its her

fault in the first place if people are looking down at her butt cleavage. Wear a damn belt lady if you don't want that type of

attention to begin with. Butt cleavage in my opinion (you can either agree or don't) is a issue that should be tackled just like

pants sagging is, if the pants sagging era was too much this shirt says enough for butt cleavage.




so with that said it time to move on to my next topic, the lip ring.



Like many of you I too discovered this trend last summer when the young girls every where begin to wear them, just like

some of you I assumed that it meant that girls were turning into lesbians, but then again in this day and age who are we to

judge people? so with out starting any type of outrageous debate about this topic I'll keep it as PG as i can.

For a while now I've been trying to figure out what the symbol or secret to this lip ring trend , i mean it seems like

everybody and they momma and i do mean momma cause I've seen some mommas





wearing one these days, so what does this mean? well I'm a guy so I can only take a slight guess, i figure that its just a new

fashion trend that was picked up some where across seas

(cause that's where all the fashions trends seem to start, either there or in Harlem) and some how that trend found its way to

the United states.



And before we knew it everybody had them, both females and males

(I still cant figure out why any guy would want to have a ring over or under his lip to begin with)

while I'll admit this trend doesn't bother me as much as the butt cleavage trend I will say this, Why does a pretty girl think

she has to have all that damn metal on her face all at once? eyebrow, nose ring, double lip ring (side, top, bottom) and the

newest addition, the cheek rings....with all that metal on her face, she looks like a walking pin cushion!.


So now we move on to the next trend that seems to be the must have these days for females of all ages



That's right the half shaved head look, is it just me or does it seem like every girl in the world seen this girl with this hair cut

and all ran out at the same time to get it done? yeah i thought so, while I'll admit I've seen some good ones and some bad one

I've see short one and shorter ones (pause that),







But why does every girl need to have the punk rocker looks? what ever happend to being original? and why does your line

up gotta look better than mines?!

how ever as original as this style may seem, it too was done again, waaaaay back in the the 80s







If i didnt know any better I would think the 80s was trying to come back with a vengence! what do you think?

And for my last topic, This has to be the most hated trend around right now, the introduction of Uggs Boots aka space

boots.



I call these thing space boots because they look just like the boots that astronaunts wear in space, these boots can be seen

on the feet of women of all ages, lets be for real now, ya mother, my mother every female and they momma's have a pair of

these things. but what makes these the most hated trend you ask?

well lets see....they never take them off! women will wear these space lookin boots in all seasons and some if not all of us

have witnessed this, fall, spring, summer...






thats right i said summer and you know i'm not B.S ing you about this




What I don't understand and what many of you probably don't undertstand either, is what is the obession with these boots?

and why are women and girls wearing them in 90 degree weather? and in some cases the clubs too? while Im simply lost for

words on this topic (don't get used to these moments) I'll simply say this, there comes a time in a persons life when you have

to change it up...in other words, change ya damn shoe once in a while! and stop wearing the same one in all seasons and

expect people not to say some thing, cause we all are looking at you,

some of us are laughing at you! there i said it its done.

Hope you all enjoy reading this edition of my blogg part 2 will be coming real soon, mean while leave ya comments and your

thought how else will i know if you read the blogg, tell a friends to tell a friend!

For The Sake Of HIPHOP...START IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Its the year 2010 and the genre that we all once knew and grew up to is now dead..well maybe not dead but more like in a

retirement home. Hip-Hop as we once called it is nothing but a shadow of what it once was sort of like an athlete past his

prime who refuses to leave the game because he thinks he's got one more good game left in him, that's where hip-hop is at

this point.

what was once a way to express your self through spoken word, fashion as well as dance has now been taken over

by the mainstream masses, "music ain't the same!" is what people all round say, what's the problem with Hip-hop? well there's

numerous problems, the over done remixes (5 people from the south and 4 usual suspects from the east) the manufactured

acts as well as novelty acts and then we cant forget the "they'll give anybody a damn contract" fake ass rappers.

Believe it or not Hip Hop wasn't always like this. It was 1987 when my god sister introduced me to Hip Hop,

(might go back further for some of you readers) it was during this time when rappers such as Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh just

to name a few had the radios and cars stereos on fire.









When names such as Heavy D and the Boyz was a house hold name

( do any of you young readers know who Heavy D and The Boyz are?)




Not only were the male rappers repping Hip-Hop to the fullest we also had the females doing their thing on the mic,

Salt N Pepa,



Queen Latifah




and MC Lyte just to name a few.



It was also during this time when a sound known back then as "The new jack swing" came into hip hop, songs that would

go on to become classics were all produced by super producer of the 80's late 90s Teddy Riley



Call him the "puff daddy" of the 80s, while hip hop was a fresh sound there would also be may groups who would leave

their mark in the game, groups such Kid N Play,





New edition



, Guy



and TLC (whom was just starting out at the time) just to name a few.




As the years would past many artist both male and females would appear and leave their marks in Hip hop music





that

would began to shape what was yet to come.



While many would agree that the 90s was a great time for hip-hop despite the loss of two legends in the Notorious BIG and

Tupac,( if Hip Hop was an athlete he was in his prime), The millennium would see a tidal wave of south artist joining Hip-Hop

names such as Ludacris and T.I







And then there were guys like soulja Boy and Lil Wayne






whom would capatilize on the online market and explode into television as well as the mass media.

By 2010 Hip Hop is in need of a quick death and reincarnation all in once


what was once fresh and new is now old and recycled





Its also when where things we've seen in past come back as a new image (no direct comparison, just making a point)













While I didn't write this blog to bash any of these artist or even make any type of comparison to any one, I'm just simply

saying what every one of us who knows good music when they hear it and who grew up listening to what we now consider

classic'sis thinking, Hip Hop needs to be restarted over again well maybe rejuvenated again is more like it....

Besides when little girls start singing the lyrics to this girls song




You gonna say "we have a problem!" then?
