Growing up Southern, I've gotten mocked for not sounding Black Enough, sounding too white. #ChrisEubanks as a Tennis Pro is able to pivot from the Court to a broadcasting role in large part b/c of his communication skills.Self Marginalization is a huge impediment in the Community

Tuesday's has been Movie Night but given the unified dump on #TheRunningMan, skipping it. Edgar Wright's project but Glenn Powell should've had more say on the final script-it's his career.
They went through several treatments of Blade Runner 2049 b/f Harrison Ford signed on.

We celebrate Sport, in this Case Tennis b/c it seemingly reps meritocracy. Hard work, sweat, sacrifice = success.
But being Black,& coming from the working class adds a dynamic.
#ChrisEubank’s retirement announcement hits differently b/c he lived my childhood dreams. #TennisTalk

Between Vince Gilligan's Pluribus,& Yargos Lanthimos's #Bugonia I truly believe we're moving closer to our initial contact with our inter-dimensional Counter Parts.
Priming our collective psyche for this next phase of Human History feels near Jungian.

Don't know where #Showtime is in the Era of streaming, assuming absorbed into Paramounts Platform? In the era of Trump's seemingly unraveling, #TheTudors(Henry Cavill, Jonathan Reese-Myers)is worth a revisit
Henry the VIII is always a great overview on the perils of Monarchies.

Talking heads will have a take on the deeper meaning of Gilligan's #Pluribus. But being Black, raised Southern but who played junior Tennis in my Teens, listening to Rock/Metal Bands 'non-traditional AA Cultural Idioms', I think the overt commentary is on conformity,& its safety.

Given what television has meant for so many since the invention you wish Vince Gilligan's(Breaking Bad) would've produced #Pluribus for a mainstream Network. But the sophistication of the plot, harkening to The Invasion (2015), this series has to be on a streamer like Apple T.V.

Going out last night to feed a litter of Cats a/c from the Crypto Arena. Living in a fenced unfinished construction site.
Square footage led me to believe I couldn't find them, their hunger found Me-sad that we're so indifferent to others suffering, Human,& non human. #ObserveLA

Listening to a bit of #BadBrains #TheYouthAreGettingRestless, knowing the Impact they’ve had on Bands like Rage, No Doubt, Sublime, 311, to name a few,& them Not being in Rock’s Hall of Fame is Shameful.

Seeing a litter of kittens/Cats living at an unfinished Construction site last night, wanting to know who can help those guys get away from peril? Cars, Starvation.
Any Non-lethal remedies are appreciated. #ObserveLA

Going to see The Mars Volta towards the end of End of the Month, how are #KingCrimson not in the Rock,& Roll Hall of Fame?
The Godfather’s of Prog Rock, just underscores how stilted,& political the Institute is. @rockhall

Yargos Lanthimos’s #Bugonia, didn’t think the Script was as good as my favorite from him(that I’ve seen), ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ but the performances were Award worthy.
It’s great that Artists of his Caliber have created a unique lane for Viewers.

Inspired to listen to #Soundgarden’s ‘#SuperUnknown’ on a short fall day.
Both 90’s Peers STP,& Alice In Chains chose to cont’ on with a Replacement Front Man.
Props to Kim, Ben,& Matt Cameron in saying Chris Cornell’s irreplaceable.

Have few limitations of what I listen to-Black Music is the backbone, extrapolating that Soulfulness to other genres.
But in the Gym, Rock/Metal is the go to.
Discovering #ChadGray’s Brilliance late.
#Mudvayne’s L.D. 50, ‘The End of..’, #HellYeah, guy deserves his flowers.

Homer's #Illiad, although the gods choose to allow these Armies to go to war, they decide not to intervene. But w/ the adaptation of #Troy, We should've at least seen them.
Nolan's #TheOdessey? without the Greek's arcing mythos, these narratives are made to feel like history?

#AHouseOfDynamite did a great job of allowing you the viewer to use your own imagination as to what takes place.

Usher bumping at a Waffle House in Rural Alabama in 2025, my Mom spoke on how the R&B of James Brown’s Era broke down racial barriers.
The human condition, irrespective of race, creed is united through the Power of Music.

Watching this review of the upcoming Yargos Lanthimos project #Bugonia, the heir apparent to David Lynch, makes me wonder what happened to Charlie Kaufman, writer of Adaptation,& Eternal Sunshine is the Spotless Mind? Not enough room for the Weird in Hollywood?

#FrancisTiafoe splitting w/ his team so soon after parting with Wayne Ferreira is sad to see. Many of these Pro's look for an unlock from the box, it's his limitations technically that's the real culprit. Can't see him ever hitting the Top 10 again as he gets older. #TennisTalk

Listening to #Deftones latest for the nth-tenth time. You gotta give Chino Moreno his Props. Gwen Stephanie, Alabama Shakes’s Brittany Howard, Lionel Richie are small examples of Vocalists who took Solo paths upon achieving celebrity. #PrivateMusic
