As the half way mark approaches on the Robin Roberts book giveaway contest, I want to mention that there is still time to get in. There has been a lot of activity so far but there is always a chance of winning a copy. Winners will be selected on the 10th so tell your friends.
In other update news, the current status of the online poll choosing which Presidential candidate should be the President in 2008 continues to be a close one. According to the poll on this site, 34% are looking for Senator Obama to win. Senator Obama is closely followed by Senator Clinton with 26%, and then Senator McCain with 16%, and Mr. Giuliani at 13%. There are your front runners. I may update the poll (which will require a restart) to include Mr. Fred Thompson, and other candidates of both parties. If you go by Rasmussen Reports the current leaders are Mr. Rudy Giuliani (60% for Republican) and Senator Obama (58% for Democrat). Keep voting until the real vote comes. Every vote counts!
In less serious thoughts, and this really can’t be too serious, the preparations for a He-man movie are moving along. Yes, the most laughable cartoon series of the 80’s is being made into a movie. Why? I think all original thought in Hollywood has been dead for quite some time. That could be the only reason. I mean He-man? Cartoons may be funny but this show wasn’t trying to be. Plots may not be a major part of children’s anime in the U.S. but this one was over the top by any standard. And the art sucked. That does not include the fact that some have issue with the probably most homosexual character on television. You think that teletubbie with the bag was gay, He-man just takes the award. She-ra probably takes 2nd place. [Being gay is not an issue to me. But I hardly think these 2 characters are the poster child of a positive image for anyone.]
Moving on with possibly a less serious item than the one above, Mr. Jay Jenkins (Young Jezzy – where do rappers get these names?) was recently arrested. Another rapper being arrested is no surprise, most I feel would serve the public better in a jail cell but that is my opinion, except that in this case the arrest had nothing to do with a gun, physical violence or any other weapon. Amazing as it is, this was merely a very heated verbal confrontation. No drugs were found on Mr. Jenkins, or his entourage, which really amazes me.
The part that seriously trips me out though is the fact that Mr. Jenkins sister was on the scene at the time of the altercation. It’s weird when you realize this happened in a strip club. Some people may enjoy drinking and hanging out with their siblings, no big deal. Arguments happen from time to time in any establishment open to the public. But what guy brings his sister to a strip club? It makes me get an impression of a low class style of life [money does not make low class actions better]. Perhaps I’m harsh, but I respect my sisters enough to not take them to a place like that.
This is what I think, what do you think?
