My thoughts on Roseanne
The series Roseanne really jumped the shark. After a few seasons of the show that represented nostalgia and the 80’s. John Goodman who starred as the iconic Dan Conner and patriarch of the Conner family saved the show for me. Unfortunately, the series is depressing and soul draining at best and energy draining. I know that the show is about a blue collar and working class family in the Midwest but still with too much of a slice of life can become depressing because the message that that sends is that nothing is going to get better and there is nothing that you can do make things better you can try but you’re screwed.

My favourite characters on The Simpsons
Moe Syzlak the bartender and underdog on the Simpsons is one of my favourite characters on the series. Everyone has an inner Moe Syzlak in themselves and i know that i do too and i have always seen a part of myself in this character who is voiced by Hank Azaria. Moe’s backstory is a very interesting one at that from following the series I learned that he was a actor in a fictional little rascal type show and then his career as an actor when according to Moe an alfalfa type had stolen his shtick of looking into a exhaust pipe and getting soot on his face so Moe in the show had killed the actor. Moe and his tavern contribute alot to the Simpsons show since many of the adults and people of the town of Springfield like to hang out at his bar and drink and i know that it is a long way to go just to say that a majority of the shows stories are set there. Before Moe became a bartender he was also an amateur boxer and his family as it was revealed in one episode that his family were the owners of a successful mattress franchise. The patriarch of the shows namesake the Simpsons that being well known to be Homer is always at Moe’s, no matter what happens at some point in the show Homer always says if the episode calls for it “I’ll be at Moe’s”.

Fock This
Fock this Enough is enough with meeting the Fockers and we met the parents, enough! I watched these movies because family members watched them but I never laughed once if anything it was cringe and really douchy. Ben Stiller should know better I mean his parents are the legendary comedy duo of Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller. Robert De Niro couldn’t even save this movie franchise I mean damn he committed career suicide along time ago and not even his roles in Mafia classics could save him. Legendary movie icons should have an unspoken rule that specifically says that after they make their iconic films that is if they are lucky enough to land the roles in question and that goes for Dustin Hoffman and Bette Midler who were the hippie parents of Greg Focker. Another thing is we get it their last name is a joke about the f-word still no laughter here but the sound of crickets in the distance.Watching these films if that is what you could call them I would sit and wish I was else where and doing something else other than sitting watching that just to be polite the best part of these movies was when they were over. The way this movie franchise was forced down our throats we have permission to take 2 fingers and regurgitate this out of our system. Another thing I want to address it is cruel when they kill the family pet for no other reason than a laugh, animal cruelty is not needed I mean this is satanic Hollywood where it is some type of sacrifice.

Hot Topic
Hot Topic has had a great evolution in its existence period it began as a heavy metal store that catered to the heavy metal set in its Inception and then as musical trends went on it became something else period hence the name I think that’s why the name of the store is Hot Topic because it always stays current andAnd yes it goes along with Trends but still in a good way. That’s how you stay successful in business you go along with Trends and you stay current but all the while you stay true to who you are and what your originalBusiness model had been.

some time ago I had seen a brilliant series that I enjoyed immensely and had seen called “The Maravelous Mrs. Maisel" on Amazon premium.
some time ago I had seen a brilliant series that I enjoyed immensely and had seen called “The Maravelous Mrs. Maisel" on Amazon premium. I loved the series! It’s about Midge Maisel who we see as a nice Jewish girl from uptown New York City. She married Joel Maisel who initially had the aspirations of becoming a comedian himself instead of her. So Joel and Midge would go to the Gaslight comic night club so that he could hone his craft. In the beginning Midge had it all a husband who loved her and a family until he said he wanted out of the marriage and so this is what inspired Midge. So she wandered back down to the Gaslight in her night gown and just started ranting about what Joel had done and then this gave way to Midge becoming a comic and also her manager Suzie was there that night and the two had initially met when Joel was there trying to be a comic and so that is how Suzie became her manager.

Spencer's Gifts
You know I never understood why I found Spencer Gifts to be such a cool place to go when I went to the mall but I still think so and now upon doing a little bit more research for this article so I have a good base as to what I’m going to be talking about in this article it really is a pretty cool novelty store that sells shirts and and posters and what not and it looking back in retrospect as I do this paragraph here and after the little bit of research that I did and sing it in real life it really is one of the coolest novelty storesIf not the only novelty story that I’ve ever seen in my whole life and that’s saying something. not only that it also sells pretty cool jewelryAnd also there’s like a sex shop it’s part sex shop tooThere I said it I mean youSex is considered a novelty I guess in some area so you know just to drive the point of being a novelty store home that’s whatYou get in Spencer giftsPeriodTruthfully when I was in elementary school the first that’s the first time I ever went to a Spencer gifts and thereMy grandmother bought me a pretty cool Yin Yang necklaceAnd in a lot of other I’m pretty cool necklaces that’s for a while there that was one of my go-to placesFor necklacesAnd things of that nature. I also bought a pentagram necklace as well as one of those seeing eye rings that they used to have and that was pretty cool too and now every time when I do go to Spencer gifts I don’t necessarily buy anything because I some weird happened to my skin through the years but I still love to go to the jewelry Corner and just check out what they have to offer and on display and what not . I bought a pretty cool Ozzy Osbourne wallet holder there and one of those pretty cool wallet chains that I always like the look of and so I bought him and what else did I buy there I bought a whole bunch of other stuff too pretty cool I’d say.

The Cosplays That Never Made Their Convention Debuts
Last month, I returned to TikTok for the first time since February. I posted a video explaining to everyone that I would no longer post any cosplay videos or share any cosplay throwback videos on the platform. However, I would be available if anyone needs some cosplay advice or tips. I've done over 20 cosplays with some of them I debuted at cons. I'm still enjoying my post-cosplay retirement life and have no plans to return to the craft anytime soon. The following cosplays on this list are those that I came close to debuting online and at cons. Note, I won't be featuring mashup cosplays, as that will be reserved for a future story.

Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons 3
The Challenge has had 2 previous "Battle of the Seasons" themes. The first aired in 2002, and the sequel aired in 2012. I think it's time to bring back this iconic season but put a little spin on it. It will be teams of 4 like Battle of the Seasons (2012) but there will be ten teams for a total of 40 competitors like Battle of the Eras.
