This Kid is No Hero or Victim

Image
What happen to him was wrong. But he is no victim and no hero, and he certainely shouldn't have been invited on stage to celebrate  with the Sydney Football team after they won the FFA. What he did was passive aggressive, what he was obnoxious, annoying and inconsiderate, what he did also showed he has some sort of sense of entitlement. Basically this is the Kid, who was a ball boy during the FFA cup final game between Sydney and Adelaide, the game had gone into extra time, minutes left, Adelaide was down by a goal, the ball went out, the Adelaide player spotted a player was on the break so wanted a quick throw in. He asked the kid for the ball, the kid held on to it, the player then went up the kid and asked him again, the kid turned his back on the player and cradle the ball so the player couldnt get it, the player then  wrapped his arms around the kid to get the ball, the kid fell over all hell broke loose. The kid made himself out to be a victim, that he was done wrong, after t

Shameful.

Chris Martin, What are you doing here at a Closet Company in LA?

It's Mental! Modern Family which is one my fav shows of my life time, may have jumped the shark or at least been pranked by Chris Martin. Thru it's first four seasons, I would've put Modern Family up there with the all time greats, MASH, Seinfeld and the Office (Both UK and US Versions) The next two seasons saw a drop in quality, the two seasons after that were literally quite poor, but this season, the show has bounced back. Until now, where it was announced that Chris Martin is visiting the Dunphy's. As soon as this was announced, comparison with Ricky Gervais's extras, came to light. The episode where Ricky Gervais was making a  point that having a celeb guest star in a sitcom is a sign that the sitcom has Jumped the Shark. I'm not sure how Modern Family will play his appearance, if it's a ode to Extras, or even handled in a different way than a sitcoms usual  "Guest Star playing himself" then it might work, but unfortunately it would seem, it m

Garth Brooks win Entertainer of the Year at the 51st CMA's

Once again Garth Brooks has made music History. Winning his sixth Entertainer of the year award at the  51st  CMA's. No one from any genre had a bigger tour, played more dates, created more energy, the amount of shows he played the past 12 month was beyond belief. Then there was Studio G, a personal sincere chat with his fans every Monday on facebook, which also aired on Sirius radio. It's quite unbelievable really,  a man who's been entertaining since 1989, being on top of his game for a staggering 28 years, and as the old saying goes, like a wine age, he gets better with age. Not sure what is left for Garth in the music industry, 2018 he will once again leave North America and tour the world, like he did in 1994. He will bring the same energy  to these shows that he has done in the USA and Canada, and he will do it by keeping the music country and not watering it down or remixing it, trying to make it like pop music. So congrats to Mr Brooks, you deserve to have this and

Stranger Things

1980's, Best Decade Ever for kids. This is why Stranger Things is so damn popular. People my age can look back at our own childhood and teen years and identify with the show.  The Duffer brothers have got this down pact. Everything about the show takes me back. It's like a show that was made  for me in mind. I was a kid who got into Stephen King's short stories in the 80's and loved them because he wrote  10-17 year old's so well.  Even if the Duffer brothers themselves hadn't came out and said they were heavily influenced by King, you can tell. The arcade scenes from season 2 were brilliant, I remember playing those games, and hoping one day, my name would make the high score list, which I did once!!!  My crowning life  achievement. The Kid's like in IT, (Finn is amazing again) speak like kids spoke in 1980's, but it was also a more innocent time when it came to members of the oppostie sex,  no sexting back them. If I had just one small gripe with the s
