Good deeds challenge
There's a quote from the first Captain America movie where Steve Rogers says to Bucky about wanting to join the War; "Bucky, come on! There are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That's what you don't understand". Now granted I haven't done anything that drastic, but the last portion specifically of ".. I got no right to do any less.." has always resonated with me. I was never the most physically or mentally gifted. I wasn't born into a super wealthy family. However, life had privileged me with very good health, two parents who were incredibly hard workers, and the ability to live my life on my terms. Not very many people can say they have those gifts. And who am I to abuse those gifts through negligence, selfishness, and pure laziness. I've done as much charity work as I can, I'm a registered organ donor for when it's my time, I've donated money to various charities over the years. Anything and everything I can do to spread some positivity and warmth to the world. However specifically for this article I'll be talking about blood donations, and more specifically my years donating blood. As well as why you should donate blood too, if you can.

Ready Player One and The Big Bang Theory
Let me start of by saying you're always entitled to your opinion, and if you happen to like one or the other or even both that's okay. I just personally have a huge problem with both "Ready Player One" and "The Big Bang Theory" (from here on out they will be abbreviated as RPO and TBBT). The very brief explanation as to why; is they're both the exact opposite message you want to send to the general public about nerd culture. So much selfishness and self-righteousness because you happen to know painfully obscure facts about nerd culture. Seriously, let's take a look.

Lagavulin
For fellow fans of the show "Parks and Recreation" this drink may ring a bell. Lagavulin is not only Ron Swanson's favorite drink but he also ends up becoming a majority owner of the Lagavulin Distillery. Funny enough, Nick Offerman himself was a huge fan of Lagavulin in his personal life long before the show ever aired. This caused the writers of "Park's and Recreation" to write Lagavulin into Ron's character. Now let us see if this drink is worth the hype or not. Spoiler alert, it most definitely is worth the hype and let me explain why.

My favorite wrestling heels
For those of you unfamiliar with professional wrestling lingo, to be a heel means you're the bad guy in the story. To be a heel; you do bad things. You can cheat, you can talk bad about the crowd or the good guy wrestler, or even set up fake alliances and betray your partner. Then worst of all, if you're in the WWE you can join the Authority and side with "the man". Let's take a look at some of my favorite wrestling heels.

Vegas Golden Knights 2021 season predictions
Hockey finally is back! For those of you unaware, I was born and raised in Vegas and I still live here. I do not foresee myself leaving Las Vegas any time soon. So obviously this article will be incredibly bias. Here are my predictions for my Vegas Golden Knights this upcoming 2020/2021 NHL season. And yes I'm aware this season didn't start until 2021, so it really should be called the 2021 season, but who cares? I'm sticking with tradition.

Greatest sporting events in the modern era we never got to see
No matter the sport, I absolutely love sports. Minus soccer, I'm sorry but I never can appreciate soccer no matter how hard I try. It's just not for me. Again, I'm sorry. Anyways throughout history there are some crazy matches that for one reason or another we were robbed of. Now let me explain which events I will be including, very simply these athletes would have needed to be active during these hypothetical events. So, for example I will not be discussing Bill Russell vs Shaq to see who the better center is. Or like, Mohammad Ali vs Tyson Fury. However, I will bring out the time machine for a future article if this article gets some good feedback.

Worst films I've seen part 2
Even though the first film article isn't my most read article; it has the most hearts. So I figured, why not give my readers some more movies I absolutely hate. As previously stated in my first article I will not be including films where their goal was to just be shocking or controversial for clout. If you do not see a film you think should be on this list, please refer to my first list. Also a quick heads up if this article does get some more hearts just as my first one did, I will continue this trend of just trash talking films. Also how fitting the cover photo for this article is an empty movie theater, as they probably were when these films came out. First film aside since this movie had a lot of hype behind its' release.

They're pushing this guy?
For those of you unaware of what a push is in the professional wrestling world, a push is very simply when management in professional wrestling says we're going to give you the spotlight. Now go make us some money. This is primarily done with the use of various championship belts in professional wrestling. A push is usually, but not exclusive to, wrestlers on the rise. Also a push usually results in more airtime, both on the weekly showings and pay per views. Next you could have feuds with established wrestlers, that way when you beat them you'll get more notoriety. This is just a few ways a push is done. Now, a push can sadly also be manipulated by management due to varying different reasons, but more often that not once a push is started we as fans get to decide how we're going to respond. Below I've listed 3 wrestlers that really did not deserve the crazy pushes they've gotten in their history. Just a very quick disclaimer. Although all of these men were multi time champions, I won't bother bringing up their acolytes because they should not have gotten those belts if you ask me.

What if I won the lottery
Living in Las Vegas, my family and I would play the lottery in Primm, Nevada at least once a month. We all know the odds of winning the grand prize are monumentally against us, but what can you say? We have all fantasized at least once or twice about what we would do with hundreds of millions of dollars if not a billion dollars won over night and it is incredibly fun. Nowadays though, instead of just playing the state lottery. I very recently opened a savings account with Yotta savings. For those of you unfamiliar with Yotta, every $25 you have deposited in their savings account will earn you one ticket to their weekly lottery. However unlike the regular lottery, you don't lose any money. The funds you have held in their savings account will stay there until you decide to withdrawal them. Also I am not sponsored by Yotta savings in anyway shape or form. I just wanted to get that out there. Back to the topic at hand though. Today I want to talk about both my responsible side, and my irresponsible side with those winnings.

B+ films
There are plenty of films in my opinion that were right there, they could've been absolute classics but they missed the mark for one reason or another. These "flaws" or "miscues" or what ever you want to call it could be thanks to poor directing, major plot-holes, subpar acting, subpar script writing. It really doesn't matter exactly what the flaw(s) are/is.

John Constantine
Constantine 2005 I absolutely loved the Keanu Reeves Constantine film and although Matt Ryan is doing an amazing job with the character as we speak, we can never have too much John Constantine. My biggest gripe with the film other than the obvious of John and Chaz not being British, I felt like the film was a little limited being most of the supernatural revolved around just Christian mythology. However I do understand since the main plot of the film revolves around the spawn of the devil and The Spear of Destiny. I did love all the visual effects and the casting was superb. Here's my take on what I'd like to see in a John Constantine film.
