Educational Television: River Monsters on Animal Planet

Okay, so I watch some of the weirdest stuff on television. While others are watching Grey's Anatomy, Lost, 24, and those other shows. I can usually be found watching shows on my fave channels Discovery, TLC, The History Channel, Animal Planet, PBS, and etc.

One of my absolute fave shows is called River Monsters, hosted by this man named Jeremy Wade.

Now one thing about Mr. Wade is that he is completely nuts, but for this show, it's actually a good thing because without him there would be no show. He basically travels all around the world looking for big ass monster looking fish.

The fish creatures this man catches and wrestles to the ground often times look like things that are out of the freakin' X-Files, but that's why I love the show so much; because it teaches you that there is more to the world and its animals than we think.

Check out River Monsters every Sunday at 10pm e/p on Animal Planet!

Impeccable Audio: [Power] Kanye West

First off, yes...I am aware that I am late with posting about this song, but who are you to judge me?

Anyway, back to the matter at hand...now for the past few months I have been asking myself where in the world is Kanye?! I felt like maybe I needed to put his face on the back of a milk carton and begin a mass search, but just before I contacted the authorities... POWER dropped.

Yeezy never disappoints me. He always brings that new-new. Yes I am a fan. Yes, I dig the power and my taste is impeccable.

50 Cent: Is that You?!


So, I was on one of my fave blogs NecoleBitchie and I was floored by pictures that I saw of 50 Cent...yes...the rapper. When I saw the pictures I was thinking to myself, now what in the Sam Hill has this man gotten himself into? As I read on though, I learned that he lost a boat load of weight for a new movie he's doing called, Things Fall Apart. The film centers around a football player who is diagnosed with cancer...hence, 50's sickly lookin' appearance. He now weighs about 160 lbs. and it took him 9 weeks to get down to that weight.

I mean I'm for dedication to ones craft, but can I keep it real? His acting better be some of the most fantastic acting that we've ever freakin' seen, because if it's not and he doesn't get nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe, or whatever else awards that are out there for acting, then all this weight loss...son...son...ya'll know what I'm trying to say.


I mean Tom Hanks lost weight to look like an AIDS patient for Philadelphia...but then again he's freakin' Tom Hanks.

I loved 50 in Get Rich or Die Tryin, I really hope 50 does his thing in this movie.


Jesus be a fence. Please.

I'm Convinced...the [Energy Drink] Edition

I think I'm going to add a new segment to Industry*Kirs entitled [I'm Convinced], because there are just so many things I foresee a problem with in the future.

My first topic has to do with the ever changing, highly marketable, and most of the time some weird ass color that can't be good for you product...the "energy drink".

Now, I know that if I polled some of you addictive asses folk you'd be able to name me every energy drink that is on the shelf right now. Me personally, I can only name like 3 off top and here they are in no particular order, Monster, Amp'd, and Red Bull. Now, I know there are more but these are all I know and see people drink the most of.

My problem with these potions, concoctions, mystery liquids "drinks" is that they are not really natural. Most of them are filled with caffeine out the ass and once you drink them you're good for a few hours and then you CRASH. So, in order to prohibit the CRASH...most folk just well drink another can full.

It's always funny to see people who are addicted to their "drank" because the minute they don't think they're going to be able to obtain their vice...they go into hysterics. I've told several people they should try to ween themselves off "that stuff" and they look at me like a crack head needing a fix and say, "I know...I know...girl I just need it. I'm going to give them up one day."

You'll never catch me drinking one of those liquid addictions. If I need energy...I take a nap...or just fall asleep where I'm at like normal people.

Besides, I'm convinced...that in 10 years...they're going to tell us that it turns your insides blue and I don't need anymore problems. I've got student loans to pay back.
