My son doodles during homeschooling. If he is getting the work done, who am I to curb his creativity? After a few days, I always make sure he didn't forget to turn something in to his teacher. I looked and found this gem the other day. Note: He has never seen the movie! I approached him with picture in hand. I said, "Buddy is...." he stopped me dead. He replied "Isn't it funny it's RAINBOW instead of Rambo..." and just belly laughed. If you were wondering, where I get it from. He is 8.
Today is Dave Grohl's Birthday and I'll peel the layers of how much there is going on in his world. You probably have caught him everywhere during the pandemic. Livestreams, dropping in on parties, Grohl A-thons, Nandie Bushnell the 10 year old and him had a drum war, The 8 Night Hanukkah Series... The list goes on and on... The Foo Fighters New Album is due out February 5th it is called "Medicine at Midnight". It contains Shame, Shame, No Son of Mine and Waiting on a War... Oh and it has apparently been completed for a year. To celebrate…
As you are probably well aware we have missed a lot of great events. Dr. Fauci said the other day that "concert venues and theaters could open Fall 2021." We are all looking for little victories, that light at the end of the tunnel... To stand up like Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carey) in Dumb and Dumber... "One in a million. So you're telling me there's a chance." St. Patricks Day doesn't look like that light or chance. Cleveland St. Patrick's Parade and Akron's St. Patrick's Parade were both canceled. We did get some good news this week. The Cities of…
Last week, I noticed Panic! At The Disco Singer Brendon Urie was getting some major shade. As an outsider I would say the reasons of blame could be easily proved wrong. But that did not stop the blame game from happening on Twitter. We love you Brendon even if you are the root of all people's problems! Read the blame game by Clicking Here.
I guess this is better than stepping on them... How long do you think it took to make this Lego Train?
If you are of a certain age. You may remember, Michael Knight of Knightrider Fame had a talking car named 'KITT'. It is a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and is being auctioned off. This one doesn't talk or have boosters or anything. It was 'The Hoffs'. Right now the bid sits at $375,000 with a max of $950,000. If you can't afford the car there is plenty of David's Memorabilia from America's Got Talent, Baywatch and Baywatch... There is also a Doppelganger or should I say 'Hoff'elganger that is 15 feet long. It was used for the SpongeBob Movie. …
If you are like most. Your alcohol intake is up and your community output is lacking. Mainly, because it's a pandemic. I love music! Especially live music. My final show before 2020 hit was "The Yawpers" at The Beachland. Since the world has closed down and started to reopen. Music Venues like Beachland Ballroom, Grog Shop, Mahall's and Happy Dog have been struggling due to guidelines. How can you help? 1. Well a donation can always be made. 2. These venues are running events when able which you can support and purchase whatever they are offering. 3. Some have even…
Ringing in the New Year never hit just right. This New Guiness World Record will have everyone saying "I Do"! I would say this ring with 12,638 diamonds is highly desired. This ring earned it's name the 'Ring of Prosperity'. Click here to see this monster. What happened to the old mantra of spending a month or two worth of paychecks?

Click here to see for yourself.

Have you ever wanted to interview Snoop Dogg? Most people would say, yes. Naturally you would ask him about his "extracurricular" activities... Since Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper were knockin' back tequila shots on their New Year's Eve Special... Things went exactly that way. Anderson Cooper's laugh is definitely a "High"-Lite of this one.
As you look to 2021 for a new normal... realize that resolutions are just wishes and prayers. It takes determination and a real "will" to change. Sure this past year was horrible, to say the least. We lost family, friends, members of our community in Northeast Ohio and beyond. These dark times may have enlightened us to things we have been doing wrong or need to address. 1. Remember, to take one day at a time. 2. Set attainable goals. And if this past year has taken us anywhere (but our homes)... it is out of our comfort zone. 3.…
As if 2020 couldn't get any worse for Cleveland. Well Here's JOHNNY "Football"!!!! Yes, Johnny Manziel will be flashing money signs in the FCF League. No Joke. The Fan Controlled Football is a 7 on 7 team playing on a 50 yard field with 10 yard endzones. The Fans pick the uniforms, logos and plays. The teams are made up of former college players, arena/canadian league and XFL'ers. The league kicks off February 13th if you want to send Johnny a good luck present. Oh, and there is some star power as Quavo, Mike Tyson, Marshawn Lynch and more own…
The Browns are in a Win and In Situation in NFL Playoffs. Pittsburgh has announced that Mason Rudolph will start the final week of the season. Remember the last time what happened. I think Myles has incentive enough in the game. The NFL is starting an initiative to grow their brand with kids. The Main Problem is Kids Can Do WEEKLY Pick'ems which is gambling.Click Here for More Details It will look like this on Nickelodeon. (I like the SpongeBob FG Posts and Slime obviously!)
