If I’m alone I can only watch comedies or romantic comedies etc. Scary movies and horror or shows with vivid violence and vulgar bloody scenes are really not for me. I find that I dwell on them long after I’ve watch them. When I will go over my best friends house we would watch the series called “The Boys ”in the beginning it was OK it was interesting I liked the theme the whole storyline it made sense. However the more we watched the more vulgar violence in bloody scenes appeared and overwhelmed the show and it just wasn’t for me. Not while I was alone anyhow. I was so hesitant to watch it by myself but I was at home bored one evening with nothing else to do so I thought I would build up courage and watch it so I turned on the show “The Boys” and in the beginning of this particular episode they were it was Frenchy and two of his friends were talking about how he loved the golden girls which had to be a gift from the gods because that’s all I needed to hear before I was on a quest to find the Golden girls myself . I was like the hell with this show I’m going to watch the Golden girls so I found the Golden girls and I was hooked. I mean literally I can watch the show all day all night. I would be laughing literally for hours, I just really genuinely enjoyed it. My favorite character was the mom Sophia she was so before her time all of her jokes and punchlines were hilarious; to me she made the show. I love the fact that the show was funny and it was based on women empowerment and friendship and trails we go through. One could actually learn so much from the show, I was surprised on risky it was regarding some topics to where I could remember my grandmother watching the show and the theme music playing and everything and her just laughing watching it but I was so young at the time I guess I never really understood what the show was really about. Once I realize everything they talked about surprisingly... I even asked myself my grandmother watch this ? I was shocked to find out that they touched on the basis of sex on the basis of women having multiple partners about older senior women not being married just they cover the whole broad aspect of topics that I felt like wow and amazed it was definitely before their time. I was shocked to find out that they touched on the basis of sex on the basis of women having multiple partners about older senior women not being married just they cover the whole broad aspect of topics. I guess all this played a part in why the show was on air for so long.Blanche she was so nice and lovely she is like the southern hospitality woman and the promiscuous one of them all and she brought a lot to the table she was spoiled she was the woman that could get any man that she wanted and she was determined to get what she wanted. She was just empowering overall no matter they sent her way
Rose was more of the mid western ditzy blonde her character was more out of them she really didn’t fit in and she was really playing the part that she didn’t know a lot but she really knew more than they are gave her character credit for. I loved her; her blonde roll was so funny and would have me laughing numerous of times while watching episode after episode . I know you’re probably thinking how is this old show binge worthy? but because of the topics and the theme of the show you would want to watch it more and more and more I mean it wasn’t the episode that I watch that I did not laugh crying my tears out it’s just so funny.The show is so relatable especially to women and the hardships we have to go through an even senior women single senior women and just being older as a woman and losing your husband being a widow or even just being alone. Definitely had me thinking about where I’m going to stand when I’m a senior citizen and wow you know things to think about that I never even imagine as a senior woman would be a concern . I believe this played a huge part in why the show was on from 1985 -1992. despite their differences the women will always come together at the end of the day and have a slice of cheesecake one would run off I’ll get the ice cream! I’ll get the whip cream! I’ll get the cheesecake it was sad to said that during the run of the show over 100 cheesecakes were consumed. I really love the show so much that it makes me wanna eat cheesecake whenever I’m down hasn’t actually happened yet but definitely a thought.In spite of the show touching on very various topics Sophia who played the mother refuse to joke about gays and domestic violence this just goes to show how serious and personal they took the rolls. I’m glad I gave up the boys for the Golden girls it was definitely worth it and for people who just heard the theme song which the theme of alone is very inspiring and motivating am just a good vibe energy the theme song alone gives off .or heard their grandmother laughing to it they should definitely consider to watch the show the Golden girls because it is definitely binge worthy I love it I think I’m gonna watch it now.

No exception to the rule
All your life you have been learning something new. From home to school, teachers and parents, basically any adult influences in your life; you can admit someone has always tried to teach you something. From birth, life is a constant series of lessons for you to learn on your way to own your independence. What they don’t teach you is that learning is of a universal law that applies to every aspect of life, including you. You are no exception to the rule of learning. Meaning as an independent adult you have to learn who you truly are. Who are you? The masses are overwhelmed by their tedious routine or constantly distracted by meaningless decoys and useless social outlets. These things become the main focus of peoples lives as they never second guess its true impact . The consumption of these things detach us from self. As a child many things are taught to you for a specific outcome. The adults in your life taught you what they felt you needed to learn according to their individual standards. We are taught these things to behave, act, respond in a certain way that will accommodate the adults in our lives at that time. Things are taught to us with expected outcome. If these expected outcomes are not displayed then you were punished or received an unpleasant response. This is because the basis of the standards taught to us as children were of power and control some even claim for protection. The adults in our lives needed us to follow their rules and standards for one purpose; to make their lives easier. If these rules and standards were not made or followed, many lives would be unbalanced and chaotic. Therefore as a child we are taught what others decide we should learn. However they fail to teach us in order to become the unique individual human you are being; as an adult you have to teach you to yourself. In everything you learn, you are no exception to the rules. In order to live up to your beings full potential and fulfill a truly authentic life being you; first you have to know who you are. In order to do this you have to spend time with yourself learning yourself. Some call this soul searching or self awareness. Majority of people are overwhelmed by the tedious repetition of life. Never thinking twice of the possibility to reevaluate who they really are. The masses are constantly distracted by meaningless decoys and useless outlets that consumes and clutters their mind that they’ll never grasp the fact of self awareness. Many are often bored with this fact and some convince their self that there is no time for that and they have more important things to do. What could possibly be more important than you to you? As social media reflects many are followers just following what they see, the next trend, what they believe is cool or will make them cool. Attempting to fit in with the in crowd and trying to please everyone but their self. The blind leading the blind is easy because the blue print is easily accessed. No one feels they have time for themselves anymore, with twenty four hours in a day how many hours to you spend getting to know you? It’s been said it takes a lifetime to truly get to know someone. I like to say especially if they don’t know who they are. If it takes a life time to get to know someone else imagine how long it takes to know your self if you’ve never given yourself the time of day. There comes a point in your adult life where you have to make your own choices and the first choice should be to get to know who you are authentically. You have to take our time to listen to your mind your heart. The beauty of life is our gift of feeedom of choice. Everything in life has a choice and inevitably a decision has to be made. You are where you’re at in life because of a series of decisions you made in the past. Every decision played a part to get you exactly where you now. Whether or not you are where you want to be or not you made some choice on the road to now. Now I want you to make a choice and decide to get to know who you are. You are definitely a late bloomer but it’s never to late. Often we second guess ourselves and doubt the thoughts in our mind. We never give ourselves credit because we have yet to even know who we are. The good thing is that once you start to learn more about yourself the learning process from then on is a piece of cake. It becomes second nature or I’d like to call it first nature. Imagine a neglected you inside of you; lonely, helpless and crying for attention and love. I’m often amazed at how many people are so eager to neglect themselves just to follow the next person or attempting to love someone that is constantly rejecting their love or just taking advantage of them because of lack of self worth. It’s sad at how many people settle with unacceptable treatment simply because they don’t know who they are enough to realize or care to know what is really happening to them. Meanwhile the inside you is hurt broken lonely and bruised; still crying out waiting for you to hear. It’s amazing once you meet yourself and see how much pain and neglect you’ve been putting yourself through, you will wonder how you went on so long without acknowledging the fact. You’ll even question your self esteem. Once you become acquainted with yourself and reflect on life without you, questions will arise: “how did I put myself through that?” “Why did it take so long for me to see inside of me” “did I have low self esteem?” “Did I not value myself” “did I not love myself?” “did I hate myself?” All these questions are normal because it natural to feel this way when you haven’t been intuned with what’s inside you. When you connect to yourself inside you become whole, you have a new perspective on life you start to see things authentically and all these things contribute to a new way of thinking, new way of living and a new peace of mind. They say treat people the way you want to be treated, but how is that possible when you don’t know yourself enough to know how you want to be treated. I firmly believe that it is a universal law that everything starts within. How can you expect to be loved if you don’t know how to love yourself. Start with you, apply that to any aspect of your life. You first, why? Because without you, you wouldn’t be alive. You are all there is at the end of the day. It is mandatory for you to be there for yourself in every way possible. You have been a stranger to self long enough, your heart and soul is crying out to be complete.

Marvel Zombie
The last entry into our 2025 superhero projects catalogue is Marvel Zombies. This was a show that was anticipated by absolutely no one and it disappeared from the public consciousness as quickly as it was released. There was nothing special about the project that made it a must see, or a must remember. In fact if anything it's a must forget.

Book Review: "Madness Explained" by Richard P. Bentall
Some books take longer than others, and for me that means any books where there is a lot of in-depth science terminology. This book took me a while and so, instead of taking it around with me, I left it on my bedside table and read a few chapters here and there if I didn't have a headache. I had to go back and forth to an online dictionary sometimes and yes, there are tables and graphs in this book. BUT atop of all of this, I got through it and now here we are, with more knowledge and more understanding of the history of mental illness, and what that means for humanity.
