Audible recommendation #1: The NYPD RED series (#1-4)

     So, let me say I could recommend a couple hundred audio books that would have you just staring off into space in wonder for hours. This series is just fun and fast paced with a great narrator who keeps your attention. I have yet to listen to book 4, as it might be very new. But the other 3 were good in their own ways. Zach Jordan, Detective Zach Jordan is partnered up with his old, but still in love with her, love interest, Kylie MacDonald. Through each case they navigate their strained relationship while being shot at, put in the middle of political games, and hunt down sadistic killers! 

     NYPD RED is for someone who wants to listen to a great book but when its over, life goes on. My mind numbing recommendations come later.

    The Ambien is kicking in. Enjoy your new found book series, YOU'RE WELCOME!" :)

      Gotta Go...Chaz OUT!

Season 2 The Flash finale!

     Okay, let me start by saying ***Spoiler Alert*** Don't read this if you watch The Flash and haven't seen the finale! Seriously, go watch it then come back.

     ***Waits a few hours*** We good? Okay, so the finale! If you've seen the cartoon movie "Flashpoint Paradox", you know the consequences of Barry going back and saving his mother, and in turn completely erasing the last two seasons is no good. But is it all bad? To me, in my opinion, no. Obviously, the characters can't be used, like Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, etc. But the general idea behind the consequences of his actions could totally fuel an entire season. We spent an entire season watching Barry and his crew chase the reverse Flash for an entire half season, then chase Zoom, which was basically the same idea done twice. So dont tell me this completely new idea can't work haters! 

     That being said, what will the third season bring. Some Flash/Arrow alternate timeline. Oliver's(Arrow) dad lives, while Oliver dies, so his father becomes a version of Arrow, for a limited time of course, so as not to upset the balance of that show on its own. *I reached out to Stephen Amell aka Arrow/Oliver Queen, but haven't heard back. If I do, I will have a follow up blog/interview to go with this. 

     There are so many characters in the CW's arsenal that could help catapult season 3 forward to match up somewhat with Flashpoint Paradox's plotline. And the season will obviously end with Barry realizing he has to let his mother die so everything can return to normal and make the 1st two seasons relevant again. No harm, no foul. Air date for season 3 TBD. So bear with me. When I know, you'll know.

     And just as a side note, my blog may start leaning toward tv shows, movies I watched, Audible books Ive listened to and recommend. I may crank out a few tonight since I dont work tomorrow. But let me know what you think. What should my next blog be about, even if its not entertainment based.

     Well, Gotta go....Chaz OUT!

I Hate Everything...Mostly! Vol.1

     Happy Friday all! For my second blog/rant of the new year, Im pretty much just going to be all over the place in this one! For people that know me, you know Im loud and obnoxious in everyday conversation. And I dont just step over the line of personal opinion, I double dutch that fool and leave a boot print on its face. So, now that Ive painted a pretty good mental picture of who I am as a person, lets do this.

     Internet Trolls! Hi, its everyone else. We hate you. Now, Ive done my bit of internet bashing of celebrities and topics that people take way too seriously just to stir the pot. But a real troll just jumps into a subject with their stupid opinion that is way off in left field but just want people to know they are there if anyone needs to know how they feel about Obama or #BlackLivesMatter. I get it. But when I jab at something, its just that, a playful jab to annoy the people taking a Nancy Grace video seriously. "What about the babies?!" Then I see a troll just stroll in and start picking apart my Facebook page, which is super creepy. That is a troll standard. "I don't have an opinion based on anything solid, let me talk about how the dude is wearing a suit in his photo. I'm super clever. Where'd you get that suit...the suit store?" Yeah, actually I did. And its tailored. I win.
     Look, trolls. You can have opinions. But please do some research so when we debate a topic, its not just you putting up Hillary Clinton meme's or that picture of MJ eating popcorn, "Im just here for the comments." CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING! Or just stay silent, drink your Juicy Juice and ask your mom where your blanky is so you can go night night. Back to your bridge with you!

     Public breastfeeding! I could go on all day about how much this bothers me. More than it should really. But its just one of those things that gets under my skin and lives there til I die. But here are my reasons I find it annoying. Its 20 something moms who have no sense of decency. Don't say, "How else am I supposed to feed my baby?" or "Breasts are a natural thing...blah blah blah." Its 2016! Nudity has been, ironically, super sexualized. So an exposed breast in an Olive Garden is going to make some folks uncomfortable. I was a baby once. NEVER BREASTFED and I survived. I understand that some, SOME, babies will only take nourishment that way and some dont. But they invented bottles for a reason. "What? Am I supposed to prepare a bottle everytime I want to go out in public just because it makes you uncomfortable?" Um, yeah. You had a kid, not me. I dont want to see that. Im no prude, but I do like my meal or social event without a weird fetish happening in my eye line. Or do the cover thing. And I know mothers are looking at this yelling at the screen. "You want me to take my baby...a tiny person...into a bathroom, like a homeless person and feed them in there?" Its a bathroom. Im not saying dunk the kid's head in the toilet and mop the floor with him/her. But being in the bathroom, if you dont want to cover up, is just being courteous to everyone around you. Because, you had the baby, not all of us. We dont want to be apart of your feeding ritual. Thank you and bottles are available in stores now!

     Men today! Fellas, look at yourself right now. If you have lotion on your hands and skinny jeans are on you or in a drawer, pay attention. Hi, I'm your new life coach. Stop doing chick stuff. Man up! Most of my clothes have oil, grease, dirt, grass, etc. stains on them. Because at the drop of a hat, I can be out at a nice gathering, all fancy and boom! Something breaks, say a pipe in a friends house or a car starts making a noise. I'm not afraid to get dirty. And I also know how to fix things. If I hand you a wrench or a hammer, I expect any man in the room to be able to assist me in my on the spot project. I don't know what a millenial is, but I want to throw blunt objects at one and see what happens. *Millenials will be a future topic of discussion!* But guys, don't let me down. Cast off ye skinny jeans and strap on a toolbelt! Its time to get to work!

     Okay, I think I've stirred the pot enough with this one. Talk amongst y'selves! Chaz OUT!

***And I will be going back and editing my blogs to include pics and little funny blurbs/quotes to add to the quality of my blogs, but for now its just the facts ma'am!***

   
   

My take on "Making A Murderer"

Let me start by saying, I have no evidence to support anything Im saying, nor am I a lawyer or anyone of any importance in this case. But I have an opinion and I will share it with you. Fact: Steven Avery was falsely imprisoned for a sexual assault committed by another man, who was later convicted of that crime, setting Avery free. And for a time Avery lived a normal life with his then girlfriend Jodi Stachowski. The documentary is edited in a way that makes Avery out to be an angel, so that when he is later arrested for suspicion of murder, you and me as the viewer are left like, "Whaaaaaaat? No Way! Nuh Uh!" But the documentary leaves out alot of details about his past and little instances that make the possibility that he could committ murder a little bit more believable. The documentary was made and sent out through Netflix, so the only feed back you can get is from armchair lawyers and detectives.

 Oh, and if you haven't watched it yet...SPOILERS...SERIOUSLY SPOILERS!!! But a little background on me. Im a great person to watch whodunit mysteries with or a Dateline mystery with, because I can usually peg the killer and the reason after the first couple commercial roll through. This case, purely from the documentary, left me saying, "He's innocent. The police set him up."

 But after seeing some later interviews and the interview tonight with the same gf I've already mentioned may shed some more light on his professed "innocence" or guilt. There are many early stories of Averys behavior with people and small animals that would sway a jury to believe he has the capability to commit a murder. Then you look at the crime scene and there are things that dont make sense and may never make sense. Like the police saying he's a mastermind of murder, although leaving evidence scattered all over the junkyard would suggest otherwise. And also where the initial attack occured in the bedroom. Blood should have been everywhere. On the walls, the carpet, soaked in the sheets and mattress. And if it was cleaned up there would be evidence to suggest that someone had in fact cleaned the area to cover up that blood had ever been there.

Then there is a Sheriffs Dept. hell bent on putting Avery behind bars because of the big money lawsuit he's got against them that he eventually settles to afford a lawyer. And the magic key that isnt in the Avery trailer one day, but it is when the Sheriffs Dept goes in the next time. Or the odd conversation over the missing photographers car and license plate. Almost as if the officer is standing, looking at the license plate when he's talking to the dispatcher.

There is so much wrong with this case and we will never know. But one thing that is certain, Avery is involved, whether he killed her himself or helped dispose of her body. And law enforcement muddied the waters of the case by planting evidence to ensure Avery got convicted. I believe that is grounds for a mistrial of some sort. But if Avery is a monster and murdered that woman in cold blood, do the ends justify the means? Food for thought. Have a good night all. Chaz OUT!!!
