Happy Monday

Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Tomorrow (and each one thereafter), we should honor Martin Luther King Jr. by bringing his powerful and inspiring words of hope and equality into our daily lives.

Yes, there’s a holiday named after Dr. King. However, first, there was the man himself.

How will you add a step, small or large, towards equality?

Happy Monday

Mondays begin with the most frustrating alarm ring. That blasting sound from our alarm clock, whether from a smartphone or an actual clock, feels like a cold splash in the face.

In other words, a cold open.

If only there was a so-called “cold open” that could inspire us instead of dreading Monday mornings…

That cold open to the Golden Globes was, as Justin Timberlake might say (as Jimmy Fallon), “so great, so great!”

And he would be correct. Now that’s a great way to start the workweek on a positive, uplifting note.

Well, there’s also such a thing as comfort nostalgia.

When things don’t go as planned, it can be a very trying experience to wrap one’s head around the situation. What? Why did this have to happen? I absolutely should have done that instead! What now…?

Worth a shot.

Any follower of this blog knows that That ’70s Show is a favorite at Jimmy’s Daily Planet. I’ve also always personally related to Kelso…that’s a joke, ladies and gentlemen. Eric Forman/Me: You’re up.

(I saw a taping of That ’70s Show after Topher Grace left and a couple of people who worked on the show walked by afterwards, saw me and said, “Hey, doesn’t he look like Topher?”).

*The specific backstory or conversation of the following scene is irrelevant, but rather that sometimes we need to realize that when things don’t go the way we expect or want, we just need to deal with it…sometimes in unorthodox ways.  

This moment is partly why we love (and need) sitcoms.

Have a Better Week than Last Week. 

Happy Monday!

As the week gets closer to Christmas, the blog posts will reflect this celebration of all celebrations.

For now…

Ladies and gentlemen, science-fiction movie fans and (curious film buffs) were treated to a special teaser trailer today. The beloved 1982 science-fiction fan favorite Blade Runner, which originally starred Harrison Ford, has finished its highly-anticipated sequel. The first film depicted a dystopian future with a serious problem of dangerous human replicants living among humans. The sequel appears to recruit a character portrayed by Ryan Gosling to…

Just take a look.

Blade Runner 2049 should have no trouble replicating the enthusiasm from the first film.

Have an Inspired Week!
