Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/12/19


3 Up

1. Mother's Day - Happy Mother's to all of the amazing moms out there who do amazing things every single day. Of course, as a new dad, I now not only understand this as a child, but having a front seat in watching my wife do the same. Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there!

2. Kendrick Castillo - I struggled with this. Because this story is so incredibly sad. But, you know what? What Kendrick did for his friends, classmates, and school in the midst of a shooting is epitome of courage and character. I never met him, but this kid's name should NEVER be forgotten.

With that said, how many innocent kids have to die like this just to protect the right to bear arms?

3. Mike Fiers - Some great never pitch a no-hitter. Mike Fiers has now thrown TWO. Kudos to the dude for tossing an awesome game.

3 Down

1. Colorado School Shooting - SMH. I don't even know what to say regarding mass shootings anymore. It's just so...tiring.

2. Burkino Faso Church Attack - If the world wasn't wicked enough, we get the story of many dying in churches for simply worshipping their God. I just can't this week...not on the same weekend as Mother's Day.

3. Sports Talking Heads - Is it me, or has "sports talk" - on TV or the Radio - reached a level of absolute absurdity. Thank goodness for podcasts. 

1 Wow

1. Kawhi Leonard Game-Winning Shot - If you thought Dame Lillard's series winning shot was awesome against OKC, Leonard pretty much said, "Hold my beer". Crazy shot. Awesome moment. Spectacular game 7.

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/11/19

3 Up 1. Eva Ramon Gallegos Cure HPV - Could Cervical Cancer be a thing of the past? It very much looks like it as after twenty years of work, Gallegos has found a cure that completely eliminates the cancer. This is remarkable work, and it's pretty awesome to see the Mexican Medical community come together proudly in this achievement. 2. "This is America" Grammy - Finally!! Childish Gambino got some national love for the work he did on this great song, and even more so, on the overall art/video that was "This is America". Of course, he wasn't there to pick it up as the Grammys and their long standing issue with the hip-hop community continues... 3. Women at SOTU - Women continue to be bad ass in the current age. Their solidarity within the Capitol for the President's SOTU was a great sight to see. 3 Down 1. Venezuela Crisis - The country of Venezuela is in absolute shambles right now as they tussle over leadership, and really, a move toward d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/3/22

3 Up 1. Bill Limiting Cost of Insulin - Kudos to the House of Reps who passed a bill to cap the price of insulin under private health insurance and Medicare. I just don't think a drug that is relatively cheap everywhere else in the world should be at insane levels here so Big Pharma can make a bigger profit. Just my opinion... 2. Jon Batiste - I didn't see the Grammys (It's Wrestlemania Weekend, sorry!), but my guy Batiste cleaned up with some hardware tonight, including album of the year. Awesome stuff and well deserved.  3. Wrestlemania Weekend - Ah yes, it was a great show. And for any older millennial or Gen X individual, there was a lot of nostalgia to enjoy. Check out my review of both nights.  3a. The Undertaker's HOF Speech - Much love to Mark Calloway, the man behind The Undertaker persona. Over 30 years of entertaining us all, he's got his rightful place in the Hall of Fame. Also, a tremendous speech on Friday night during the induction.  3 Down 1. Sacram...
