Everything&Nothing: A Collection of Thoughts

Someone commented on one of my promo pictures on Instagram. It's just a picture of me that says follow me on and has the links to my social media accounts. The comment reads as follows: "Why? So you can ratio and unfollow 99% of the people you use to follow? Pass. I don’t know what happened to you but it’s sad. And very disheartening." This comment really bothered me because I didn't unfollow people to make my account look my popular. I did it because I was going to delete my account. I was feeling really badly about myself and part of the reason was because I felt like the more vocal I got about real life, the more people started unfollowing me.  Ever since George Floyd died, I have been a lot more vocal about politics and a lot of my jokes have been politically charged. I started tweeting more about the injustices people are facing and how the government's response to the pandemic has been poor. The more I tweeted about these things, the more I noticed my number...

  I have always been a huge Johnny Depp fan; to me the man is the epitome of cool. He has this swagger about him and I think for me when I watched Pirates of Caribbean for the first time it is when I really saw how cool he was. I mean, to be able to go from Edward Scissors hands to Jack the Pumpkin King to Jack Sparrow was just this awesome transformation through some of my favorite characters and then he was a freaking pirate! It's like how much cooler can this guy get?? You could almost go so far as to say I have a man crush on him. The dude is fashionable, trendy, a rock star, and a phenomenal actor, who doesn't have a crush on the man?? (You're a liar if you say you don't and I'll no discussion about it.)  "Alright, but what does that have to do with anything???" Right, glad you asked. I woke up this morning and I was lying in bed scrolling through my news feed when I saw an article about how the Animaniacs new season had a joke in there about Johnny D...

  I love stand-up comedy and Kevin Hart is one of my favorites, but last few specials kind of missed the mark for me. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a great stand-up comedian but his last few specials were kind of flat and while they were entertaining because it is after all Kevin Hart, they weren't as funny as some of his earlier stand-up specials.  I can't say I was overly excited to hear that Kevin Hart had a new special on Netflix, but within the first few minutes of the special, I could this one was different. The first thing you can tell is that he is a lot more comfortable which he attributes to doing the show in his home versus some large venue. That smaller more imitate feel really helped his storying telling and confidence. In some of his prior shows I felt like he was trying too hard to retool some of his older jokes to make them a little bit more broad audience friendly but in this special he actually takes time to address the changing relationship between fa...
