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

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"?

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.

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
