Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/19/26


Louisiana Mass Shooting 

The details are horrific. Eight children dead. A father - say, what?! - killing them all, including seven of his own. One surviving child in the incident now carries this trauma and weight with them for the rest of their lives. 

There's so much to unpack. What are we doing as men? What are we doing as a country? Another day, another shooting. Where are our morals? Our appreciation for life? 

I also think about the men and women in uniform investigating this incident. The visuals and scenes their intaking...say a prayer for their mental health and well-being. 

It's stories like this that just make you wonder about how we're lifting each other up...


Church Reckons with Government

The resident posting A.I. images to his account depicting himself as a healing Jesus is the kind of thing that is so 2026. The President is also in a war of words with the Pope. Yes, that, too, is so 2026. 

Even talking heads, who are so tied to their political identity, are now throwing down their religion for their political party. 

The entire week has been such a conflicting connection of faith and politics in the news, and the fallout of it all has been a complex one for so many who never found conflict in the space. Many Americans, specifically those who voted for the current President, are finding themselves wrestling with identities and beliefs that may force a choice between the two in some form. 

Wild Times.


Wrestlemania - Night Two Only, Please. And Thank You.

Yeah, we're not including Wrestlemania Saturday night on this rundown - whatever that was on Saturday night. 

Luckily, night two felt like Wrestlemania and very much delivered in that way. From Brock Lesnar retiring(?!) to the door opening for new stars, all the way to a timeless main event that will be watched for years to come, the Jekyll-Hyde feel to this year's event will spur plenty of conversation on what was already a highly controversial and polarizing event. 

Please, someone in the WWE, stop the advertisements on events?!!!

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...

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/22/26

Airports, TSA, and Safety We all get frustrated with work. Whatever your work environment is, or whatever it is you do for a living, there is always a time or something that bothers you.  This week I'm thinking about TSA agents. They deal with people - come on now, they deal with the same people we people watch and shake our heads to at the airport - every single day. And for the last couple of weeks, they haven't been paid. How's that for frustrated and unfair?  And if the situation wasn't weird enough, ICE agents will begin working at airports tomorrow as part of their enforcement duties.  Travel just got more weird. My heart is with so many of the working TSA agents - be kind to them, ya'll. And airports have just become the most politicized places in the country.  What a time... "I Believe in You" My favorite part about March Madness (and, sports, really) is the stories behind the moments. Call me a sucker, but I still love those moments where an indiv...
