Not since February? This is getting ridiculous.

I’m done saying “I’m going to try to be more consistent” because... well, apparently that’s not going to happen. I don’t get paid for this (could you tell?) and my real job has me pretty busy as of late. A few songs have been written, tattoos gotten, and a lot of life has been lived.  I hope this post finds you guys in good health, if my two readers are still around haha. Have I told you about my church? I am blessed to be a part of the Passion City Church house.  w o w  g u y s . Let me tell you what, best eight-hour work day of my week. “Eight hours?!” you may say, and yes. I GET to wake up at 4:45am so that I can make it to church by 5:30am and help prepare the house ready for the gathering. We rent the Howard Theatre in DC and get there early so that we can, not only load in all our equipment, but also clean up from whatever event happened the night before. It’s a blast. Is it a saying that  “work is only as fun as the people you work with”?  Well, it should be, because this day of work doesn’t feel like it. Not even at 14-1430 when I get home not even needing a nap. The song says it so well “Greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done in the city.” (God of this City, artist). God is moving in DC people, and I am so thankful to be along for the ride. If you ever in the DC area on a Sunday, stop by! The gathering (the Passion City word for ‘service’— you’ll have to come to find out why) starts at 10:30am, but doors open at 9:45am! 

I am going to call this next section “A little late to the party” because, well, you’ll see...

The year is already so close to being over. There is so much that I have not written about that I probably should have at some point. I mean, it feels like just yesterday was A Quiet Place. Anyone? I only saw it once in theaters because, honestly, I don’t think I could have handled any more times. As a rule, I don’t care for horror movies, but oh. my. gosh. Masterpiece. Speaking of shock, I’m not going to talk in detail about how I feel in regards to Infinity War except to say that I was for sure in stunned by the ending (familiarity with the comics still doesn’t prepare you for that). Oh, one more thing, they probably should have killed off far fewer characters that have more movies coming out because after the initial “what. the. heck?” moment that the audience is left in, any reasonable person knows that (excepting Bucky, Falcon, Vision, and Scarlet Witch) every one of those characters is coming back for part two or three of their own trilogies. Ant-man delivered again and I think that it was, as far as sequels go, definitely one of their best— maybe even better than the original. Speaking of sequels, did anyone else feel that Incredibles II hit a little below the mark? Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but generally, Disney•Pixar delivers sequels that are  equal to, if not better than, the original (Toy Story 2, Monsters University, TOY STORY 3) not to mention it was Brad Bird! Still, D•P has failed us a couple times before (I mean, Brave? Need I say more?) and this wasn’t a failure of that caliber— let me rephrase that, this wasn’t a failure. Just... sub-Parr (I’m trying, guys). 

In keeping with the “Late to the Party” theme, I recently saw “Shutter Island” for the first time and, man, talk about tragic. Another first, “The Prestige.” I’ve gotta say, not a fan. Also, “No Country for Old Men,” not a fan. “I Can Only Imagine,” sobbed my eyes out. “Case for Christ”? ehhh. True story or not, the plot felt disjointed. I love the book though. 

Speaking of books,  I reread “This Present Darkness” and “Piercing the Darkness” again and is it just me, or would those make great thirteen part Netflix shows? I hope it’s not just me because, as long as they were executed properly, I would for sure buy those. Now, to segue into more books or Netflix? We’ll stick with Netflix because the book tangent will be its own post later. Has anyone watched TrollHunters? Sure, it’s a kid’s show, but don’t let that reason shy you away from this gem. For starters, it’s Anton Yelchin’s final work (Yelchin was killed in a tragic car accident a few years ago, he recorded seasons one and two for his character but had to be replaced by Emile Hirsch for season three), but don’t let that be the only reason! It’s a del Toro work of art full of intrigue and mystery, dark (but again, geared towards children, so not too dark) but with a rich story that shouldn’t be left to the kids. Luke Cage’s second set was a step above its already well-done pilot season, and season two of Iron Fist was light years better than it’s maiden thirteen, amiright? I have high hopes for Daredevil Season 3, especially seeing as how the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen has been the best of the Defenders on Netflix. Agree? Disagree?

I think that’s going to wrap up this extended look into my mind from the past few months. If you have any comments or questions, leave it for me down below and I’ll be sure to get back to you. Thanks for reading all the way through!
