Jessica Kylie Speaks On Getting Deleted From Instagram 3 Times, Wild DMs, & Snapchats (Video)

You saw Jessica Kylie in the title and rushed right in to witness her thickness, right? I know. Yeeez! Read the titel will ya? I worked hard on it (then gave up and threw something up, haaa)!

Okay…So she is NOT anywhere near half-naked on this post. Sorry. But wait, she IS in the raw, VERY raw! This post is extremely worthwhile because, instead of the sexy pictures and videos, we learn more about her personality, experiences, and views in general than ever before… certainly more than we would in a thick-girl-in-bikini-with-music vid. Watch and understand how hard it was to pick a unique title that would cover all or most of what she talks about in here.

Very interesting!

Meet A Muslim (Video)

It’s high time for tolerance folks! Hug someone different than you… today (with permission)! I know I am preaching to the choir, because you are on here. Shout to our visitors, extended fam, because y’all “get” a lot of what’s posted here (and it’s still love when you don’t). And I know you’ll get this… I got a li’l choked up right from the start of this… When the lady said, “I am a human. I am a mom.”

Man. My mom is my HEART! Okay…

Yes, this “Meet A Muslim” is all that you’d expect. You probably know and celebrate some or all this in yourselves and in/with your Muslim friends and associates. But maybe play this within earshot of folks who may not ‘get it’ like you do. This is bound to soften a heart and/or open an eye or three. Great short video!

Raise Up: The World is Our Gym (Trailer)

You know the crazy pull-ups and push-ups, frontwards and reversed, with acrobatics and flair thrown in there, that you’ve seen them on movie screens and Internet spots? Well, those are street calisthenics… and they have become a movement and a movie. Check it.

An underground urban fitness movement risks losing its identity as a social tool as it rapidly becomes a new international sport.
Rain Bennett

What you should take away: Parallels to Hip-Hop. Something else comes up from the streets, lives around the way, gets blown up and goes worldwide (good) and commercial (not so good in some ways); and the culture is worried that its true and best self (e.g. its essence) will be lost.

Watch the trailer.

The Rap Music Generation Gap Debate (Teaser Trailer)

Interesting convo here… Maybe enough room for everyone to get their views appreciated and get mad during the course of it. Great look to have Scarface in there as a student of the game AND an O.G.

Rappers from 90’s go head to head with new rappers to talk about the state of music. The panel discusses whether current artists should be students of “the game” and study the older generation and respect what came before them. They also talk about how to stay financially-secure because not all artists stay “hot” their whole career. Find out their thoughts on the state of Hip-Hop.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (Teaser Trailer #1)

Haa! Looks like some fun for the family, esp. if you have young’uns in your movie viewing audience. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul” is set to hit theaters right as kids are getting set to hit the schoolhouse doors for the summer. Trailer #1 in the tagline implies that there will be a Trailer #2… hopefully meaning the movie is so loaded with zaniness that the funny is not poured just into snips in the teasers.

Greg convinces his family to take a road trip to attend his great grandmother’s 90th birthday as a cover for what he really wants: to attend a nearby gamer convention. Unsurprisingly, things do not go according to plan and Heffley family antics ensue.
– Movieclips Trailers

Interesting note for folks in Metro Atlanta, esp. on the east side. The moviemakers filmed all around Stone Mountain. Peep and see if you recognize some spots in the trailer spot above.
