Top 10 Albums of 2013 (No particular order)

Image
A Great Year For Music!! Random Access Memories - Daft Punk Released May 17, 2013 If the cover art doesn't already catch your attention, than their Hit Single "Get Lucky" ft. Pharrell definitely will. The smooth classic sounds are what made Random Access Memories probably the best album of 2013. This Vevo audio alone has over 150 million views on Youtube. The lead single "Get Lucky" became an international success, peaking in the top 10 in 32 countries. Random Access Memories garnered three Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, while "Get Lucky" received two nominations, including Record of the Year. Certified Platinum album. Yeezus - Kanye West Released June 18, 2013 Yes, Yeezus makes the list, for all of the viewers that disagree with Kanye's latest album. Although Yeezus peaked at number 1 likely because of all the controversy behind the album, Yeezus sales declined from the first week being out sold by J....

Is Brian Griffin Returning to Family Guy Soon?

Image
Good news, everyone. The beloved family dog of the Griffin family, Brian, could be making his return sooner than expected.  On December 15th, the Family Guy episode "Christmas Guy" is set to drop. The plot's description reads,  "Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas."While that isn't full blown proof of a return for the son of a bitch,  Entertainment Weekly  has reported that he will make a return, but it is not yet known how that will take place.  There has been speculation of Brian Griffin's return ever since his death. In the episode, "Life of Brian" (the kill-off eppy), Stewie and Brian are traveling through time. When they returned to the present, Stewie opts to destroy the time machine. Brian is rightfully skeptical, but Stewie insists that they do things differently and be more active. At the junkyard where they destroy the time machine, Stewie and Bryan find a hockey net a...

How Long Can You Go Without Sex

Image
Recently with the rise in sexual propaganda I've had to experience unusual information, leaving me flustered and scratching my scalp. My little sister is 11 years old and her bestfriend is dating, DATING. Meanwhile she just learned how babies were made 2 weeks before she decided she wanted to be courted. The grand parents of our generation are affixed on the idea that our generation is more corrupt, sexual, deviant and all of the above. If you ask me they are more skilled in judgment than in leadership. Anyway, how would I take sexual advice from my grandfather he got my grandmother pregnant when she was 14 and he was 24. I look at him like and say this, ( all in my head of course lol ) Bruh you are a PEDAFILE lol, but since it wasn't a crime back then, our generation is now considered "fast". I think the one variable is technology flooding the youth with information sexual and non-sexual. Causing them to grow up extremely fast and bring adult experiences faster than ...

Why You're As Much of a 'Genius' as Jay Z

Image
I hear a lot of people call the "God MC"/rap mogul/business mogul Jay Z a genius. As understandable as it is that you would call him that, given his business ventures and great success, I must disagree. What exactly is it that Jay-Z has done that you yourself cannot accomplish? The answer is "nothing".  It does not take a genius to become successful. It takes someone that is driven and willing to  work  for whatever it is that he/she wants. The success that you attain is solely dependent on the time and effort you decide to put into it. Are you willing to make connections? Are you willing to step outside of the box? Jay Z was. From selling crack cocaine in the streets of Brooklyn, NY--a story you probably are familiar with ( click here  if you aren't)--Jay managed to work his way onto not only the rap scene, but later the Forbes List.  His rise to success was sparked by his lack of complacency. He had no interest in falling into mediocrity and limit...

Balance: The Key to Your Relationship.

Image
Nearly everyone is interested in relationships. You are either in one, been in one, or want to know how to get in and maintain one. If none are the case, you may genuinely enjoy being alone. Regardless of which one applies to you, you probably want to find a way to relate the complexities of relationships to YOUR relationships. Among all of the ins-and-outs of these partnerships, the most important key is probably moderation and balance. Sounds pretty basic, right? Well, it was equally as basic when you read the title and opened the page. Peep. Being in a relationship requires one to have patience and never do too much of one thing. Doing too much of one thing can drive your partner crazy at any given moment, hence the cliche that exists that I don't have to type for you to know. With that, you have to be understanding of it and balance things out. For example, men tend to stay away from women that are overly-clingy. Imagine leaving your phone in your room while you...

Breaking Bad: The Alternate Ending

Image
When I saw that my favorite show of all time "Breaking Bad" had an alternate ending, I stopped what I was doing to peep it. I tried my best to avoid any articles about it so that I wouldn't get spoiled before seeing it. Now that I have seen it, I want to share it with you all. A lot of "Breaking Bad" fanatics wanted to see some kind of off the wall alternate ending. An alternate ending that somehow connected both of Bryan Cranston's characters from "Breaking Bad" and "Malcolm in the Middle" (Walter White and Hal). Well, that is exactly what you get here. Cranston's character Hal wakes up in the middle of the night distraught from the dream he had just had. He explains to his "Malcolm in the Middle" wife (Jane Kaczmarek) how he dreamt of being a king pen meth lord named Heisenberg. He fully describes to her the characters of "Breaking Bad", also.  What makes this interesting is the connection between...

Get Real: Jason Collins Isn't A Free Agent Because of His Sexuality

Image
As we all know,  on April 13, NBA supers...player Jason Collins came out as an openly gay individual. This was said to be revolutionary since he is the first openly gay ACTIVE NBA player. However, since coming out, he has yet to see the paint on the walls of an NBA locker room. As a result, gay rights advocates, among others, are making the case that he is deliberately discriminated against because of the fact that he is indeed gay. Now, as much sense as that makes, that couldn't be any further from the truth. Let's be realistic here. Looking at Jason's stats ( which can be viewed in full here ), I would "discriminate" against him, too. If Superman himself was fresh off of a 1.1 PPG season in 2012-2013, I'm not picking him up either. Jason Collins literally averaged one free throw per game this year (plus an extra tenth of a point). I don't know about you, but that's a waste of cap space, and a spot on my bench. Collins also, as a Center, av...

What Exactly Is Offensive About Being Called A "Female"?

Image
As of late, I have noticed a growth in the disdain towards the word "female". Before I continue writing, I would like to make it known that I am not a misogynist, nor am I one of the pseudo-oblivious men that SOME women accuse every man of being that doesn't understand them. I am merely speaking based off of my observations as of late while trying to gain understanding of them. Before Understanding: I am aware of the feminism movement and what they are trying to accomplish. They desire equality among women and men. They want to abolish double-standards, eliminate the idea of patriarchy, get paid equally for the same jobs as men, and ultimately escape oppression (although it sometimes seem as if they desire superiority. Different story, though). Am I right? Cool. However, I need help understanding how the world "female" is oppressive. Don't get me wrong, if you wish to not be called it, that can be done. I just want to understand. When you fill o...

Hip-Hop and the Prison Industrial Complex.

Image
When Hip-Hop came first came into existence, it was a completely different genre than it is today. The music had a much different message. A once bright culture, filled with having fun, dancing, and empowering music has become something completely opposite. In today's Hip-Hop culture, violence, drug usage, and criminality are promoted heavily in the mainstream. Although Hip-Hop was not much of a mainstream genre prior to the late 80s & early 90s, the face of the then sub-genre was not a face of such negativity. However, there is a reason for this... In 1991, somewhere near Los Angeles, a meeting was held to determine the new direction of Hip-Hop. At that time Hip-Hop had not fully developed into a mainstream genre, but was still growing rather quickly with popularity. As mentioned before, Hip-Hop was more about fun, culture, and empowerment...among other things. This was no more. Over 20 years later, and anonymous individual decided to write a letter to speak out about ...
