The Smartest Man Since Jesus Walked The Earth

When I saw Al Pacino completely transform into Michael Corleone in the first two Godfather movies, I never thought I would see a greater acting performance. Al Pacino's Michael Corleone started off as a mild-mannered man who didn't want to take any part in his family's illegal mafia activities. However, after his father is attacked by a rival gang, Michael Corleone reluctantly takes it upon himself to avenge him. He kills both Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo, who initiated the attack, and the corrupt police captain Mark McCluskey in a fine Italian restaurant (I wonder if that place is still in business) -- I heard the veal was the best in town.  Michael Corleone initially flees to Sicily to escape the authorities, but when his older bother Sonny Corleone is killed as retribution for his actions, Michael Corleone comes back and takes over as the Don of the family. His father, Vito Corleone, dies of a sudden heart attack -- but not before giving him final instructions on

The tide is finally starting to turn on COVID-19. He was kicking our asses for a whole year, and he had us on the ropes, but in this war of attrition the momentum has shifted to our side. There are still many imbeciles who are refusing to get vaccinated -- and there are many morons who are not wearing masks in indoor public places -- but despite all these fools, COVID-19's days are numbered.                                                                     *** *Author's note*: The Delta variant of COVID-19 is starting to scare me. It's like in the original Sonic Adventure when that Chaos liquid monster could evolve into a greater form. I pray that COVID-19 doesn't have a perfect form. If it does, then the only way we can defeat Coronavirus is if we gather all seven Chaos Emeralds + the Master Emerald and let Sonic the Hedgehog transform into Super Sonic and fight COVID head on -- with an awesome song like "Live and Learn" or "Open Your Heart" by C

It's no secret that I'm a gay man. I support the LGBTQ+ community whenever I get the chance. I go to rallies, go to pride parades, attend support meetings, and do whatever I can to help my fellow brothers and sisters in this marginalized community.  One of the biggest things I do is support LGBTQ athletes, artists, authors and musicians. I attend a lot of concerts where one or more members of the band are LGBTQ. Even if the artist is already dead, I still do whatever I can to make sure their legacy never fades away.  I'm a huge Queen fan. I believe that Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer who ever lived. One of the greatest regrets of my life was that I never got to see this man live. In the 70s and 80s, when Queen was in their heyday, I regrettably refused to attend their shows.  For many years I repressed my homosexuality. For a huge chunk of my life I was a fundamentalist religious nut. Even though I knew I was gay, I tried to repress my desires and live in accordance

 The greatest moment in cartoon history, in my opinion, was when Spongebob and Squidward delivered the very first Krusty Krab Pizza. After going through hell and high water to get the pizza to the guy's house, Spongebob shook his ass gleefully and said, "I can't wait to see the look on the customer's face!" Spongebob rang the doorbell cheerfully, and the customer, who was some species of fish, immediately answered. Spongebob triumphantly announced that his Krusty Krab Pizza had finally arrived. The fish's mouth started to salivate with delightful anticipation, and he said, "Thanks, I've been dying for one of these!"  But then suddenly the fish's happy face turned into a frown.  "Where's my drink?" He inquired.   "What drink?" Spongebob asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice. The customer got irritated, and his blood pressure started to rise.  "MY DRINK! MY DIET DR. KELP! DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT MY DRINK!&

 *Note*: The discussion of this blog regarding Eddie Carr - the field equipment expert from The Lost World -  is exclusively referring to the film's version of events. Eddie Carr suffered a different fate in Michael Crichton's novel. However, when talking about the first Jurassic Park,  I'm discussing details from both the film and novel to help make things extra clear.  My favorite film scene of all time is from The Lost World . It's the thrilling scene where animal behaviorist Dr. Sarah Harding and photographer Nick Van Owen bring the injured infant Tyrannosaurus Rex to the communications trailer - in an attempt to fix its broken leg. The baby T-Rex's leg was injured by Roland Tembo, the leader of InGen's expedition team to capture a bunch of dinosaurs and bring them back to San Diego.  Before we delve into this scene, it's very important that we go over some vital background information: * The bioengineering company InGen was in financial ruin after the e

I was completely mortified when I heard the news that the Boston Red Sox cheated during their 2018 World Championship season. I had been a Red Sox fan my entire life and I always believed that they were a paragon of virtue. Whether they won or lost, I believed that they always played the game the right way and never cheated. Yes, every Baseball team uses little tricks to try to get a slight edge, but I never thought that the Red Sox would stoop so low as to use electronic devices to steal signs from the opposing team.  When the batter knows what pitch is coming, it makes a huge difference. I have first-hand experience with this. When I was in Little League, I struck out every at-bat.  I would flail away and look like a complete clown. I always swung late at Fastballs. I always swung too early at Changeups. I always missed by a mile at Curves, Sliders, and Knuckleballs. Eventually some opposing pitchers took pity on me and told me that they were going to lob an easy one over the plate
