The Book of Eli on DVD

Over the weekend I decided to just keep my bohunkus (per my daughter) home and chill with the kids. It was the first time that I have done that in a while and it was great. It felt good to stop and just chill.

With that, I had some time to watch a few movies.

Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler was just another romantic comedy, and as much as I love romantic comedies, this one was just regular. I cannot say to stay away from it because it was entertaining but it is not really a must see. If you like Jennifer then see it. If you like Gerard Butler than see it. If you do not care for either of them, you can pass.

The Spy Next Door with Jackie Chan is another one that I can wait to watch on television. I have to say that my kids liked it. I thought it was cute but again not a must see. It was just okay for me.

The Book of Eli with Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman is a definite must see for so many reasons. First off, Gary Oldman is freaken awesome. He does justice to villains. This is not a movie to watch with the kiddos though because the killing is quite undelicate (lol); there are body parts flying all over. What is so great about this movie for me was the message of hope and change and what it means when people who have lost hope have a chance to get it back. Help others more than you help yourself was what Eli took away from his experience.

The acting was where it should be with a cast of that caliber. Denzel delivered as well as Gary Oldman and the supporting cast. Definitely a must see.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner. By building up a lactic acid tolerance, muscles become stronger while building up someone's endurance. When applying this kind of aerobic training to the human body, the pyramid system is a base model for the workout routine.
