I finally watched the rest of this. I'm taking that hiatus seriously. I already tripped up and watched Monday Night RAW on Labor Day, but I wasn't necessarily in control of the TV and it was fun to have my brother to shit on the product with. This time around, spoilers weren't so unavoidable, however … Continue reading The Mae Young Classic Classic Episodes 5-9

#InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 3: Human Nature
Sorry, this ain't about the song written by the Honorable St. Michael Joseph, of the Gary, Indiana Jacksons, First of His Name, Last of His Kind, Walker of the Moon, Ruler of the Neverland Realm. Instead, we are visiting another song with the same name by the Honorable Madonna of House Mononym, Appropriatress of Vogue, … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 3: Human Nature
#InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 2: Virtual Insanity
This is the song that predicted all of this shit. Tell me, I challenge you, that we are not living in a world of virtual insanity. Granted, Jay Kay, the lead singer of the funk/acid Jazz band Jamiroquai wasn't really getting into cell phones and computers and all of the goodness that we enjoy today, … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 2: Virtual Insanity
The Mae Young Classic Episodes 1-4
I've been on a wrestling hiatus. I say wrestling because although I've been actively avoiding WWE, there are five episodes of Lucha Underground that are sitting in my DVR, including the much anticipated bout between Rey Mysterio (who has slowly gotten back into my good graces) and Johnny Mundo (who has improved tremendously since leaving … Continue reading The Mae Young Classic Episodes 1-4
In the Shadows of Performance
I've made it no secret that my mind can be my own worst enemy. Ever since I was a child I wanted my stream of consciousness to be quiet; I even asked my father of all people if it was something that I could shut off and his answer, to make a short story shorter, … Continue reading In the Shadows of Performance
A Not Quite Defense of Inconsideration
Earlier this year, yet again, iconic musician Ms. Lauryn Hill as she insists on being called was late to a show. Two hours to be precise. This time, she left us with a reason, and that reason was, as it was posted on Facebook, as follows: I don't show up late to shows because I … Continue reading A Not Quite Defense of Inconsideration
How To Watch an Empire Fall
The narrative usually says that tragedy turns into triumph. An individual or an organization overcomes some tragedy and either in the midst of or after facing a period of grieving, they come back better than ever, stronger, you know that corny type of stuff. This entire month so far has been filled with tragedy, the … Continue reading How To Watch an Empire Fall
#InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 1: Sledgehammer
If you're looking for Rihanna or Fifth Harmony, you need to leave, because they're not here. With that out of the way, once upon a time, music videos were my life. My brother and oldest sister were in middle school and high school when I was but a wee lass, empire being the farthest thing … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 1: Sledgehammer
I Don’t Have the Answers
You know, it's wild, I thought I had a post lined up for today and I didn't. Maybe that was a stroke of creative luck because I have something to say that I didn't plan on saying. I found out about Alton Sterling's murder in Baton Rouge, Louisiana last night before I went to bed. … Continue reading I Don’t Have the Answers
I Almost Had to Throw Captain America to the Bushes
Warning: I'm giving y'all a spoiler alert just in case many of y'all haven't seen it. I won't go too much into it, but if you really know what lead up to the Marvel Civil War prior to this film even being made, this may not be an issue for you. Even still, out of … Continue reading I Almost Had to Throw Captain America to the Bushes
