Richard Sherman is Wreck It Ralph


"Richard Sherman reminds me of Wreck It Ralph because people think they are both bad [guys]...but they are both really [good] guys. They are both nice...and really smart. Richard [Sherman] is smart...he went to a good [school] and studies football...Wreck It Ralph is smart...he saved Sugar Rush [and] saved the day...Richard Sherman is nice...[he] visits sick kids and is nice to [them]...Ralph is nice to Venelope. Like they said in Ralph, just because [people] think you are a bad guy doesn't mean you are a [bad guy]. I love Richard Sherman and Ralph."- Nickolas 

            A lot of people gave Seahawks player Richard Sherman crap for being too overwhelming in a postgame interview. Six year old Nickolas from Seattle wrote the letter above to his hero, Richard. He saw that Sherman is actually an amazing guy he was just caught up in the moment. The fact that a six year old understood him is beyond me. It goes to show that children aren’t tainted by the world and are very smart with no question. I applaud this young boy to make such an accurate comparison with so much compassion. On the most recent episode of Queen Latifa, she had Sherman on as a special guest and surprised Nickolas and another fan by having them talk to him and he gave them signed footballs and hats. Check it out!

The Amazing Spider-man

We all know what Spider-Man is about so there is no need for an introduction, but, this film specifically is different from the original characters we know and love.Going into this movie I had very high standards because I loved the first three hits staring Tobey Maguire. I wasn't actually planning on seeing this new franchise of Spider-Man but I did hear great things about it. This past weekend I was looking to pass sometime so I hit up the movie channels and this looked like the best thing that was on. Like I said I had high expectations and I think this movie exceeded them for sure. Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker was a nice input because he brought youth to the character and knew how to play the part. I also liked that Peter was with Gwen instead of Mary Jane so it wouldn't be completely the same as the last series. Dr. Connors/lizard isn't my favorite villain of all time but he was a good introduction villain against Spider-Man. Another thing the was very clever, visually, was making Spider-Man see in first person. Doing this made the audience feel as if they were swinging from building to building themselves. Overall I would give this film a 7.5 out of 10. I will be seeing the second film and hopefully it's as good, if not better than this one.

Naked Vegas

Naked Vegas

            Naked Vegas is a TV series on Syfy about a team of artist that do naked body painting based on a theme a client gives them. They are given models or the actual client to paint and they have to get it done in a certain amount of time regardless of changes the client throws at them. The team consists of, four, very talented and different artists, including a past contestant of the Syfy show Face Off, Nix (I am also obsessed with this show!). I’m very fascinated with this show because the works that they create are absolutely incredible. They’ve painted themes such as extraterrestrials, trains, devil pirates, and several more. They even did body painting for the masked dance crew, Jabbawockeez. They painted seven dancers with the illusion of a mask. I would really recommend this show even if you’re not into art because it’s just such an interesting show. Hopefully oyu check it out, it’s worth it! Check out some of their work below.
