Binge watch weekend

To all my my fellow nerds, fans of great animation and superhero content do I have a special gem for you to watch this weekend. If you are looking for something new to watch with great brutal action, something that you can somewhat enjoy a chuckle or two and get lost in a great story and listen to a great voice cast well your in luck. A comic book series that has been around since the early 2000s and is now getting its own show on Amazon Prime, I present to you

The premise: 17 year old Mark Greyson(voiced by the talented Steven Yeun) is not your average, sure to his friends he is your average teenager going to highschool and going through the issues that every teen would but behind closed doors he is the son to the most powerful superhero in the world “Omni-Man”. Voiced by the very talented (J. K. Simmons). As the world is full of turmoil, super villians and the epic loss of “Guardians of The Globe” the world is at a loss and now Mark Greyson who starts developing his powers knows that its time to step and become a superhero who is being trained by his father Onmi Man himself. He now becomes “Invincible”. As he trains he goes on adventures along with other superhero’s. As time as hero goes on it also casuses issues in his social life as a highschooler. Also something is very off about his father.

Overall I loves this show and I hope there will be a season 2. Now be warned to parents around my age with young kids. This defiantly not a show for the young ones but if you are a parent that allows young kids to watch content like this well you’re cool in my book. There is alot of blood and guts in this. The death toll is up there but if that is your thing then this show is for you. But there to this show then just action. The show and comic book honors the traditon of comic book storytelling. The chemistry between the characters is on point and the animation is just beautiful.

There is alot of great adult humor that is not forced. This isnt your Mcu formula show so dont expect a joke the end of every fight scene. The voicing talent is incredible. You got to love J.K. Simmons as Omni- Man, he knocks it out of the park in my opinion. The show has so much going on for it, I hope it continues for years and if you are a fan of this show, I say thank you and the reason why I say that is the more support it gets then we will get more seasons. Now I don’t know much about the history of this character or story but I am going to give it a shot and learn more.

The villians are amazing on this, but the main one, well if you havent watched it yet I am not going to be the one to spoil it but you find out real early.

Overall grade I give this show a 10/10. I have no complaints except for when I had to wait a week for the next episode but thats okay because now all 8 episodes are out for your enjoyment. So if you have no plans this upcoming weekend and need something to watch then give Invincible a shot. And if you are dissapointed then you have no pulse. I am just joking but please enjoy and have a great and safe weekend.

My experience after taking the Pfizer vaccine.

So last weekend the misses and I were scheduled to get our 2nd dosage and it was quick and easy but of course we had to wait 30 minutes but after that everything was all good. It was a nice sunny day, around 90 degrees and my mother was nice enough to babysit our 2 year old. We decided it would be a nice evening to enjoy some margarita’s.

Of course before all of that a couple of buddies of mine at the gym warned me that I would suffer some symptoms. But my hard headed self was like “naw im good”. But they looked at me sideways and decided to make bets on my illness. Sure enough the next morning after installing my ac units in my house and get everything finished so I can have a nice relaxing evening and enjoy some NHL playoffs in peace. To my not suprised I was feeling quite well, so well I cocky and decided to take the misses out for some brunch before picking the kiddo up.

Here comes the pain. During our brunch before we got our food, suddenly my wife started getting the chills, she was complaining about being very achy and she told me “its from the shot”. My hard head didnt want to believe her because I was feeling good still. After our breakfast we pick up our daughter and go back home and she is out of it. She had a high fever, she was cold then hot, then cold then hot all day. I had my daughter with me for a while and I let her watch her dinosaurs then all of the sudden I start to feel it. First thing I thought was “the guys at the gym are going to laugh about this”. My body was aching like crazy. I came down with a fever and couldnt eat anything and this thing lingered on me for two days straight while my wife only had it for a day. Missed the playoff games because I slept through the games. I was just happy my wife recovered. With the lack of energy I wasnt really able to help much.

Now I know some of yall arent believers in the vaccanation or covid and thats fine believe what you want i am not here to convince you. But i would warn people to be aware that your body will go though these symptons and if you dont, congratulations you are an X-men. But on the serious note please prepare yourself better than we did. If you have young kids, plan on having a sitter or somebody to watch over them while you are out of it. Treat this like you would treat the flu. Get plenty of rest, drink your fluids and prepare to bing watch one of your favorite shows or movies.

Overall i am happy to get it over with and do my part so we can get everything back to normal. Now back in the gym not having to wear a mask and go to stores without wearing a mask but of course I can feel the eyes and judgment on me now but life goes on. I hope my experience helps you in going through this process. I am not going to pass judgment on you if you dont get vaccinated thats your choice. I hope everybody stays safe and enjoys their days. Be well my friends.

Binge Watch Weekend.

Good morning today is the first for my blog. Every friday i will recommend a show to check out if you are stuck at home for the weekend. If you are one of those people who binge shows at rapid fire pace or just like to take your time and enjoy the show when you actually get the time due to a busy schedule. Well today i have a very highly recommended show and this show will not dissapoint if you are into brutal action, historic events, great story, great acting and overall just being glued to the screen. Well the show is called

As a life long fan of martial arts and also into historic shows, this was a dynamic i could not turn off. One episode with the wife every night after a long day made our evening complete. The show is based off the late great Bruce Lee before his passing.

The premise: A young chinese by the name of Ah Sahm (played by Andrew Koji) man travels the across the seas to San Francisco, CA in the late 1800s in order find his sister and also to escape a life that he really had no choice but to escape. When he makes it to San Francisco, well things do not turn out the way he really wanted. Dealing with gangsters, rascism, cops, and a differnt world that is not very accepting of him and his people. Chinatown becomes his home that he has to go through various battles, adventures.

The cast is amazing overall with Jason Tobin playing the young hot headed gangster playing (young Jun). Joe Taslim from “The Raid” and “The swordsmen” plays the wise but deadly (Li Yong). And many more great actors and characters fill this show with awesome entertainment. Andrew Koji seems to channel the energy and Bruce Lee in his character very well, from his attitude, fighting style, his energy, and his intensity in the heat of the fight scenes along with his swagger and confidence.

And to all the readers and fans of this show, if you have not heard, WE ARE GETTING A THIRD SEASON!!! on Hbo Max. Do not when it is coming out but all i know is those petitons finally paid off. Overall score i give the show a ten out of ten. Most entertaining show out there next to “Invincible”. I hope you enjoy the show and if you are not a martial arts fan there is other elimantes to this show that i think will help you keep your interest. So have this weekend and enjoy the show. Be safe and have fun my friends.

Clout chasing Issue

What are you willing to sacrifice for the price of fame. Your dignity, your freedom, friends, family or just the respect for your name? It will come at a cost that is for sure and the rewards may you get you a couple of thousand followers but is it really worth it? I can remember a time when the popular didnt have sacrifice much in order to gain that status now its a whole new ball game out there. From people licking ice cream in stores, to socalites making fun if cancer patients and then getting their moment on the Dr Phil show. We even have close to 30 year olds trying to pretend to be high school student for their instgram status to grow. We even have people out there recording fake bomb threats and climbing on bridges and recording it. Will this trend stop probably not. Im not going to blame social media because you still have good people on there using it for good causes but this trend right here, “The clout chasing disease” will continue to spread.

Its scary to me because you never know when it will happen and or a loved ine can be caught in the cross hairs of this foolishness. I even seen a mad man in store pouring milk on himself and screaming like a maniac all for the clout. But their is only so far they can go with this because at the end there is no fame and fourtune, there is no hollywood knocking ageng knocking on the door or a phone call, the only thing waiting is embarrasment but not for them but for friends, family and ask yourself clout chaser, is it really worth it. Now i am not going to name these people or show of their videos because the virus has spread enough. And i do apoligize for using that word for this issue. I wish i could tell you just ignore it when you see it or if you do see it in public but i feel its imprortant for parents to warn their kids on this type of behaviour and show them there is no star in hollywood at the end.

Now is there any positive clout chasing, maybe. I have seen some social media sites use their clout to give money to the homless but that is all that i have really seen, for all that i know it could be fake, which i hope it isnt. I am not going to blame this on thr younger generation since i have seen people around my age group do alot clout chasing themselves and i know alot of teens in my family that do not use social media. So at the end i beileve the cause of this is of course people being toxic and they strive of it. I challenge the clout fame cloust chasers to use their abilities for good. Maybe show the ones that are influenced by there fame that this not the route to go. But that is just me keeping hope. Maybe i am the wrong person to talk on this topic but something needs to get off my chest and this one of them out of the million issues have with many things going on in this world. Hope everybody enjoys there day and hopefully it is peaceful for you. Enjoy your day my friends.

Maskless Karen….

Just the other while i was standing in line i witnessed the wrath of a maskless Karen. Now i am not here to lecture people on wearing masks. “Do you” is usually my attitude towards peoples beliefs. Anyway while at the store with my 2 year old we finally got my 2 year old to wear her little dinosaur mask only because she thinks she is a dinosaur with it on. While getting groceries we noticed a woman in a heated debate with another woman about masks. The woman of the topic decided to leceture everybody about how stupid we were for not wearing a mask. She also wanted everybody to know how she suffered from anxiety and other symptons.

Then she pointed her attention to me with my daugher and i was like “lord here we go”. She decided to tell me how i was abusing my daughter and wanted to tell me about her symptons. At first i wanted to ignore her until she wanted to come near my daughter trying to take of my mask. To me thats crossing the line and i stepped in the way. I wish had my phone on me to record this situation but i have a bad habit of not carrying my phone. So then we get into it and i tell her. “Look heres the thing about me i am over 300 lbs whos a suffers from asthma and has anxiety. I have suffered from these symptons since i was a kid but i also workout everyday, jog and weightlift with a mask on”. She looked dumbfounded and shocked and then moved on.

So this is my warning to you maskless karens who want to push their beliefs on me, the best suggestion is just plain “dont do it. Because i am not on your side when it comes to this. I train everyday and sometimes have my panic attacks but i stop, focus on my breathing and take a couple of minutes to gain my composure. And then take a hit off my inhaler and take another moment then go back to my workout because i am staying commited to losing this weight, not letting covid defeat me again and not letting these symptons defeat. So please, maskless karens do not ever preach to me about your issues because we are not teamates and leave people alone and never cross the line of ever approaching another persons child because not everybody has the patience i have.

Working myself back up.

For the past couple of weeks everything has been opening back up and trust me we are very happy about this. For the past year we have been going through just like everybody else. But now we are enjoying our time again. Just to be able go to restaruant again is simply amazing. Trust me all these little things i am not taking for granted. But also my mind is trying to catch up to the times now. I am still working on what you and cant do now. Trust me i am not an “anti-masker” but have ran into a couple of them since being back out. The world is very differnt and trying to adjust to it is a little harder then you think. I use to be able to just walk in peace and mind my business but now there is always that one person who just has to stop you and comments about you wearing a mask. Or somebody jusy losing their mind over the little things. Its crazy to me but i still take the time and tell myself “the world is not the same”. So now its up to me to adjust to this new crazy world we are living in now. And its a working process like everything else. It should be fun….

There is nothing weak about apoligizing.

I will be the first to admit i am a very stubborn person, from a scale to 1 and 10 i rate myself at a 10. I am set in my ways like a lot of people our but for me it takes me a certain ammount of time to realize that i am wrong. The one thing that i hate to admit. But when i start to think and process everything from a arument or a dissagrement and think to myslef and then realize that i was wrong. From fact checking or just to realize that maybe my argument didnt lead up to what i was hoping. Over the years as i studied, read and just listen to others i found myself admitting when i was wrong made me a stonger person. Admitting your wrongs does not make you a weak person it makes you a more understanding person. I am a working progress just like everybody else with his faults and thats okay. What is not okay for me is let my stubborness get the best of me. I continue to focus on my mental health and enjoy new studies and new methods of challenging myself in my way thinking. Finding being wrong is not always a bad thing but not taking ownership and letting your stubborness get the best is the problem. We all have our time periods of coming to the conclusion of this but at the end as long as as you see when you are in the wrong and can admit that helps you in the long run imo.

Toxic Surroundings

Sometimes being surrounded by toxic people, toxic surroundings could help you build a stronger mental health. Being battle tested, more experience on how to deal with a toxic enviorment. We all have been there and we know a lot about it. Knowing the best way to get out of it and cleanse yourself. Now its never a quick fix, it takes time. Sometimes you have that really good friend who always puts you down for wanting to try new things and eventually you learn that their toxic negativity is effecting your friendship with them, its tough trust me i am going through it and it sucks but i also progress and work through it. I have worked through a lot over the years and the work will continue. As for the toxic surroundings just remember you always have a choice. Stay around it and or steer away from it. And also remember it takes work. If you feel that your enviroment has been taken over by negativity and its effecting your mental health. Take the time and think it over and work on yourself instead of falling into the trap. There is so many ways of doing it. Find new hobbies, find new challenges for yourself. If you have new ideas, go for them. Keep yourslelf busy and then you will find yourself having less time for the toxic surroundings and toxic friends.

Keeping busy

I found myself in a very deep depression, feeling alone, nobody to really talk to. Social media was getting worst for me every day. I ate more and more and let myself to ballon up to a weight that i am not use to. I couldnt keep myself away from toxic energy. But one day, one day i look at myself in the mirror and told myself i am done. I am done and decided it was time for me to fix myself. I have a beautiful family and i needed to do something for myslef so i can actually be there them. I decided to take on new tasks, new journeys in life. I decided to get busy for myself, for my sanity, for my family. I decided to get back into weight training, drop this massive weight gain. I decided to focus on my writing career again by writing a book and write multiple screenplays. I even picked up cooking and found out i am actually not half bad at it. I am alot happier since i have made the changes. I still have my battles just like everyone else but keeping busy has been a very great gift. Keep busy my friends…..

Checking in

A couple of words can go along way, especially for somebody that is having a hard time during this pandemic. A friendly “whats up” or “how have you been”? You never know what a person is going through. So just a reminder check in on friends and family and remind them that you are thinking of them. There is a lot of lonely people out there who needs that right now. And as for the people reading this i just want to let you know, even though i may not know you, this is me checking in on you to see, how are you doing?
