Month: September 2019

Growing up I remember watching the all the sitcoms. Sometimes they would air a “special episode.” That episode dealt with a very serious topic or subject matter. Once on “Saved By The Bell”, we learned about the dangers of caffeine pills.

That episode saved my life. Seeing what Jessie Spano went through was heartwrenching. Because of this show, I never once experimented with caffeine pills. There were also “After School Specials” that dealt with hard-hitting issues as well. Those shows inspired me to write about one of the biggest threats to humans everywhere right now. A threat you may not even be know about right now. I’m talking about vaping.

Vaping is DANGEROUS and it has now claimed the lives of 12 people. Do you understand people are dying out here!!! Rightfully so, our elected leaders are working on plans to deal with the public health emergency. They’re talking about banning some of these vaping products in order to keep us safe. Let’s do it I’m all for it.

But while doing some research, I discovered we don’t need to stop there. I’ve discovered a laundry list of other stuff that needs to be banned too. Because they too are killing people.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS need to go. They are responsible for 2,000 deaths a year.

FALLING COCONUTS are also deadly, they kill 150 people a year.

MOSQUITOS kill about 800,000 people a year.

HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE FOOTBALL kills around 12 people a year.

CHAMPAGNE CORKS kill around 24 people a year. This will make you think twice about popping bottles.

TRIPPING is also deadly, about 6,000 people die from falls each year.

EATING can kill you too. 3,000 people die each year from choking.

RAW MEAT takes out about 5,000 people each year.

COWS kill about 20 people a year.

WIND is responsible for sending 104 people to the “Crossroads” every year. RIP Uncle Charles.

BEES kill around 100 people a year.

THE COLD cause a lot of slow singing and flower bringing. That’s because it’s responsible for 600 US deaths per year.

AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATION believe it or not, kills about 1,000 people each year. WTF????

So I think we need to start banning all of this stuff, from the traffic lights to bees and even the wind and cold. I wanna live in a world where Champagne Corks and Falling Coconuts can’t hurt me. LET’S BAN IT ALL!!!!

Also, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just say no to “Autoerotic Asphyxiation.” In the words of Too Short, ” If you don’t listen its not my fault. I’ll be getting paid and you’ll be paying the cost.”

This is my review of the Power Season 6 Episode 3 titled, “Forgot About Dre.” Which is also the name of an Eminem song featuring Rapper Dr. Dre. I want to warn you this contains toooooonnnnnns of spoilers.

The first thing I noticed is that the old Power theme/intro song is back from the dead. Power fans went crazy AF when the new season started and the song had been changed. Joe had been replaced with Trey Songz. The streets didn’t like the new version. So “50” changed it back.

The episode starts off banging. You remember Dre, he and his daughter were inside a Fed Safehouse. The agents were just about to take him to a court appearance. When out of nowhere, dudes with guns came out of the woodwork and start shooting up the place. When the smoke clears Donovan, Dre and his daughter are the last people standing. However, Donovan gets hit in the process. But instead of helping the guy get some medical attention; Dre picks up a gun and shoots him. Donovan took a bullet protecting Dre and that’s how he repaid that man. Dre didn’t even say thank you. After the shootout, Dre took off with his daughter.

But he doesn’t get far and the Feds track him down, at what looks like a bus or train station. They took him back to headquarters, unaware that he killed Donovan. They believe he and the other agents were killed by the assassins. Dre is shook and doesn’t want to testify anymore. However, the Feds tell him he has no choice. They say he has to testify against his old boss or he’ll go to jail.

Next, we see Rashard smashing one of his campaign staffers. He answers the phone mid-stroke and the DNC tells him they believe he can become the next governor. So they agree to send him more resources. When Rashard goes back to his campaign headquarters, we learn that the chick he was smashing; is the girlfriend of the guy he beat down in the previous episode.

So Rashard beat the brakes off dude and he beat the brakes off dudes girl’s (you know what). Wow, this dude is taking “L’s” left and right. The DNC sends in hand-picked, experienced campaign staffers. The lady in charge walks thru the door and fires a bunch of Rashard’s people. She basically let everyone know that she’s in charge.

Jason decides to make both Tommy and Ghost go after the leader of the Jimenez Cartel. Who happens to be Jason’s rival. She’s in jail and Dre is set to testify against her. Jason wants either Tommy or Ghost to break her out of jail and bring her to him. Tommy puts together a plan and is somehow able to do it. He pulled it off, by getting help from his crew and his girlfriend Keisha. I still have my doubts about her. She’s trying to be Tasha, but she’s not. Keisha is just not about the drug dealer girlfriend life.

Speaking of Tasha, she’s gone from the penthouse to the outhouse. She’s now trying to find her next “come up.” Tariq comes home to re-up on his drug supply. He’s started his own business at his boarding school. He and Tasha get into it and when Ghost shows up, they all get into an argument. Tasha was like “not today” and she kicks both of them out. Ghost and Tariq later share a moment. But you can see Tariq is just playing on his dad’s emotions. That boy still needs his A** WHOOPED.

Before Tommy and Ghost went after the cartel chick, they both went to Proctor for help with the jailbreak. Proctor doesn’t know it, but the Feds have his daughter’s backpack bugged. I’m not sure if the backpack recorded anything because the daughter took it to another room; while her dad was talking business.

Ghost meets the chick that is now running Rashard’s campaign and they hit it off. So you def know they’ll hook up in the next episode. She invites him and Tasha to be the surrogates for Rashard’s campaign. Tasha agrees but wants some help opening up a daycare.

Once Tommy got the cartel chick, he took her back to Jason’s spot. And that’s when Jason killed her. So now Dre is off the hook. While Tommy and Ghost were trying to kidnap her, they spotted each other. Ghost later called Tommy and told him, they needed to squash the beef. He said they needed to work together to kill Jason. Tommy says hell no. Ghost then confronts Proctor about helping Tommy get the cartel woman. Proctor basically tells Ghost, Tommy is crazy and he had no choice. He advises Ghost to reach out to an old business partner, for cash. Because now Jason wants Ghost to pay him off, for not kidnapping the cartel chick. Ghost also owes Jason for mistakenly killing one of Jason’s guys. But in his defense, he was trying to kill Tommy tho.

I saved the best for last. Yaz is back. That baby didn’t get Judy Winslowed lol. She was also in multple scenes. I was so shocked to see her. The show ended with Tommy saying his signature line. He said he was going to cancel Christmas on Ghost. This has been an awesome season so far, let’s see what happens next week.
