On a Hill

Why you didn’t tell me ‘City on a Hill’ was back? Not just back but two episodes in? I blame myself because I wasn’t keeping up with if it had even been renewed for season two. But in my defense COVID happened and everything got pushed to a corner of my mind. So I need to get Showtime back, because I need to watch each episode as it is released.

Sidenote, Why am I so obsessed with Boston television? Actors?

If you haven’t had the pleasure of watching ‘City on a Hill’ its pretty much Boston in the early 90’s, where violence and corruption lived in bed together at City Hall. The New DA, a black man, Decourcy Ward played by Aldis Hodge, forms an unconventional bond with Jackie Rohr, played by Kevin Bacon, who is intent on keeping Boston exactly the way it is. I initially watched because of K.Bacon, but he’s a POS! However he plays his character brilliantly, you’ll feel all the feels.

Let me know how you enjoy it? I think I’ll watch from the beginning.

Watch.

Have y’all seen ‘The Watch’? Its one of my favorite comedies. Vince Vaughn is hilarious! I truly wonder what its like to be a real life friend of his, because I’m sure some of his lines are improved, they have to be! Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade rounds out the rest of the cast. Basically they form the ‘neighborhood watch’, which not even the Police takes seriously. However they are as serious as an Alien Attack!

Its currently on HBOMax, so watch it, this weekend then we can laugh about it together on Monday. Deal?

Weird Question to ask but …

Do you have a set playlist when its time to pleasure yourself? I was just thinking about the time we set aside for selfceare, and the ritual that follows. Which naturally got me thinking about myself, and who I listen to when I take the time to practice my own sexual self care. My Go to usually is Rico Love, but it has to be his ‘Even Kings Die’ Album.

SideNote; Its an incredible album!

Concrete Cowboy

In a book to film adaption, I have found myself wanting to watch it again, but to read the book to see where the holes I have can be filled. “Ghetto Cowboy” by Gregory Neri, ‘A street smart tale about a displaced teen who learns to defend what’s right-the cowboy way’. Featuring Idris Elba, and Caleb Mclaughlin, as a son estranged from his father, but it sent to live with him, after his mother has reached her limit. You can feel her frustration with the current affairs of not only her son, but that isn’t able to reach him in a way, that encourages him to change his behavior.

Not going to spoil it anymore than I have, but for me, even though when absolutely needed, the father was there, it was ONLY when he was absolutely needed.

It saddens me, but tough love is nothing without soft love as well. You can’t believe a person is going to be balanced, when only receiving tough love. Nothing is ever good enough love, nah. Tough love is successfully ONLY when paired with soft love, the cycle can never be broken by doing what was done to you.

Crashing Weddings

Legit, the funniest movie I’ve seen in a while, Wedding Crashers. I know I’ve seen it before, or at least I thought I had but I was in tears the whole movie. I’m dying laughing writing this, spoiler, the part where they are all at the dinner table, and the father is like I’ve seen you dancing, and Vince Vaughn hits Owen Wilson with his legs, OMG! For me, that is the funniest part! I probably could watch it repeatedly and still laugh. Its such an oldie but I know y’all have seen it … and if not, well do yourself a favor!

Also, do men really crash weddings to be able to sleep with single women? I put nothing past a man, but lord that just screams desperate.

PS. Its currently on Hulu and HboMax

Carnival ’21

As we all know, Carnival was cancelled this year, but that hasn’t stopped me from listening, no BLASTING Soca and other traditional carnival music! Spotify has a mix, probably has plenty of mixes, but this Carnival mix makes me forget who and where I am at times. Yall know I be rocking on the train, but Chicago trains are a bit more conservative than NYC in terms of dancing. There’s no showtime ever!

My obsessive personality has me listening to the same song, about forty times in a row. “Fallin” by KES the band. So when people say, this summer they are going to summer like they’ve never summered before … well this will be my theme song!

Please Listen!

Legend

Earlier this week I watched “I am Legend” with Will Smith. Its one of the few Will Smith, I’d watch again … I can’t watch Seven Pounds. Dogs really are the most amazing creatures on this planet! Shout out to Sam. That scene always makes me tear up, she was fighting them rabid ass dogs for her owner, even at the expense of her own life. When he had to put her down, I have to pause it, and give her the respect. Unfortunately with work, I wouldn’t be able to own a pet, especially not a dog, but I really wish I could!

I don’t know If I could go three years, without seeing or talking to another human. Its incredible he didn’t lose his damn mind but he was on a mission. A Mission to save humanity. Although the movie finishes with the cure being found, I wonder, there had to be other scientist/doctors who was working on the cure as well. Were they unsuccessful, as well? Was the one vial of blood enough to truly create more of the cure? Guess we’ll never know!

Feelin Pretty

Have you watched the movie “I feel Pretty” with Amy Schumer?

Well, you need to! Such a good film! Such a feel good, hilarious film about self confidence, at its core. To have all the confidence in the World, it only took for the main character to have a severe head injury! If only women could feel that way, without having to receive a concussion first! If I’m giving away spoilers, I apologize but the movie has been out for forever. I enjoyed, it also highlights men feeling the exact same way as women, although in actual society, its not as discussed. I kept thinking it would be more “Devil wears Prada” but I was pleasantly surprised.

Go Watch!
