Movies the Honest Man Loves - Menace II Society

1994. Senior Year High School. Summertime in da SC. While I'm waiting to embark on one of my greatest rides at Morehouse, I'm at home just killin' time. One way I killed time was renting movies, especially after the family hooked me up with the TV/VCR combo for college. So the first movie I rented was one I had been waiting to watch for a year...Menace II Society.

If you've never seen Menace, shame on you. I personally think it's better than the more celebrated Boyz in the Hood. I mean after watching this, I truly thought I was hard :-). Out there walking the suburbs, quoting O dawg "What'chu say about my mama?" over and over. And it only got worse when I did start college, met D-Lo, and learned he was just as big as a fan. Me and him damn near watched this shit over and over every day. It was so bad, we knew EVERY line word for word. That's how much I loved this movie.

If you've never seen it, no fear, I've posted one of my favorite scenes below. It's the infamous "faggot ass Chauncey decides to educate white folks" scene. CLASSIC. Trust me, the rest of the movie is just as good. So go rent this movie...FOR HAROLD!!!

Tomorrow is never promised

Hey folks! Yep, it's been 2 weeks since a post. And that has happened for bunch of reasons. The primary one is the Honest Wife has suffered 2 deaths over that time and I've been supportive of her. If you've been reading the blog this year, you know between the missus and myself we've had a lot of setbacks this year on the family front (8 deaths in 2010, 9 total since November 2009).

Honestly, that takes a toll on you. It didn't help that the recent ones happened in November and even worse during Thanksgiving week. So I zoned out. Just stepped away from everything to one help my wife out as she's the one who's dealing with emotional pain from the recent deaths. And then also just to reflect on everything that's happened and remember what I should be blessed to have.

Tomorrow is not promised readers. Live your life to the fullest. And if you have loved ones, make sure you are telling them that whenever possible. Because you just never know.....

Your weekly inspiration - You're the Best!

Is there any child of the 80s that is NOT a fan of the "Karate Kid"? And I mean the original one with Ralph Macchio, not the remake with Big Willie Style's kiddo. For that matter do any of the Generation Yers know who Ralph Macchio is? For shame I say if you never saw this movie. It has all the elements of those "classic" 80s bully movies. New kid in school that has "problems" making friends. New kid makes quick enemies by trying to get with the school bully's girl (in this case ex-girl). New kid gets his ass kicked on a daily basis. New kid gets a "mentor". New kid fights back. And new kid ultimately fights for respect from the bullies and for the love of the girl. You indeed New Kid are the best! Don't believe me, peep one of the greatest cheesiest songs that is Ultimate 80s
