Sunday Sundown Rundown

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 10/23/22

3 Up

1. Hearing Aids Over Counter - This is pretty cool even though we expected this. Sure, we can go into a deeper (more negative) discussion on the American healthcare system, but let's keep it positive. It is innovations and access like this that will help SO many in a significant way. Oh, the possibilities!

Yes, that was some sarcasm.

2. Emmett Till Statue - Much like above, there is a deeper discussion on Emmett Till, however, the positive is that a statue of Till is now present in Mississippi. We should NEVER forget Till and everything his death represents in the history and the fabric within the thread of our country's existence.

3. Philadelphia Phillies - They barely qualified for the playoffs, and here they are as 2022 National League Champions. Who had this predicted?!

Shout out to Bryce Harper finally getting to this stage and delivering in a big way.

3 Down

1. Kanye West - Okay, yes, this week West gets the top "down" spot. He's been consistent enough, right? West continues an ever-winding story about an individual - himself - that we've never seen before. What a turn of events...

Also, in the present, the dude just flat-out says some awful things. All in the name of "free speech".

1A. Adidas - Hey, are you guys going to do anything? Probably not.

2. Liz Truss Resignation - Apparently no one wants to be in charge of the United Kingdom.

3. Yankees Fans - Yes, the ALCS has been probably the toughest series to endure that I can remember since 2012 (against the Tigers). But the current complaining and outright rants come off as whiny, complaining, and spoiled more than an educated fanbase upset with recent performance.

There is a difference.

3 Interesting

1. Midterm Elections - From what I'm reading, most of America feels more confident with selecting Republicans moving forward. Honestly, I can't blame them as Democrats have really led a lackluster ship since 2020. Just thoughts from this independent voter.

2. Student Debt Relief Plan - Biden's Debt Relief plan was blocked by the Supreme Court. Honestly, I'm not sure I understand the viewpoint of those who oppose this bill.

3. Trump Subpoenaed Jan 6th - That says it all...

Stay tuned this week, I guess.

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...
