Ben Affleck is Batman.
It's been confirmed that Ben Affleck will be the Dark Knight in the Man of Steel sequel. Unfortunately, the comic book nerds are pissed off and the main reason for some reason is his role from the Marvel meltdown Daredevil. For those who don't follow or have a life, Daredevil is a blind vigilante who took up his arms against evil much like Batman when he lost his father to street violence. Only real difference besides the blind part is Daredevil isn't rich, during the day he's a lawyer by the name of Matt Murdock. The movie was a bomb and that's the main reason fans are irate over the selection.
This is nothing more than a sad case of Bale on the brain by fans of the Batman franchise. When someone like Christan Bale plays a role so well it's just so hard to see someone else playing that role. It's like Rodger Moore playing James Bond after Sean Connery all over again only this time it's with an American icon instead of a British spy. Let's not forget that Daredevil was a long time ago and since then Ben Affleck has grown to become an award winning actor and director, something Mr. Bale doesn't have. I'm a Superman fan and I have to say it's sad that I'm giving Affleck more of a chance than dedicated Batman fans.
The Warner Bros flop Batman and Robin is still considered one of the worst superhero movies ever right next to Steel and Catwoman so how can Affleck do worse with successful director Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan at the helm? I ask tonight that the people please wait to see what Affleck will at least look in the suit. We know nothing of the plot or who is the main villain if not Batman or Lex Luthor. So as I close this entry I would like to stand proud and say congratulations to Ben Affleck and I hope he does a good job with this version of Batman. I anxiously hope it starts a chain that will lead to the much anticipated Justice League movie.

The Wall is available for free on Amazon!
There is a secret society known to many as The Wall. For
some, people who are working behind the scenes to maintain order when the law
fails those that depend on the system for security. To others, a ruthless group
of vigilantes that are taking the laws into their hands and destroying the very
image of Justice. A eager reporter gains the opportunity to interview a leader
of a Wall cell and during the interview, he listens to tales of members that are
seperate but come together for a disturbing conclusion. In a country where not
everyone can get justice because of reasons outside of their control, there is a
place to go.
When criminals break the laws and are freed on technicalities and cracks in the system, they soon find that there are no technicalities or no cracks when they face The Wall. Nobody can hide behind a flawed system that protects the rights of those who don't deserve them. The guilty may appear innocent but with resources provided by unknown sources, they all break when they go head on with a society of vigilantes. When the system that's meant to protect the people it serves fails them, how do criminals not expect the people to fight back?
This is my first screenplay that I've written because I like to test my skills and take them to a new level. Everyone loves a person who works outside the lines but let us see how the world reacts when it's a whole society. Could we handle the possibility that there are people who forget about "systems" and "rights" for the "greater good?" Is it worth the risk of falling down the "slippery slope" that we are afraid is going to happen? Buy this ebook and decide for yourself and thank you for your time, until the next is written.

Egypt, Young, Aliens, and the L.A. Kiss.
This week has been nothing short of incredible with all the wild news with some being heartbreaking, others terrifying, and some that you just don't know how to feel about. First we have to start with what I must consider the most important news and that's Egypt. This country can't get a break with removing leaders and civil unrest. This week alone has claimed the lives of over 700 people and more violence is to be expected later in the week. Over 700 individuals fighting for what they believe in are now dead all because they believe an injustice was committed.
Now whatever you believe is up to you and I'm not writing to dispute it but what I would like to say is that there should be no reason over 700 people should be dead over a dispute. This is going to end up like Syria all over again and could possibly be worse. I don't know all the facts so I don't really know whose right or wrong but I would like people to please pray for those whom were lost this week. I hope peace and a compromise can be found between both parties because there has been too much death as is. Egypt is one of the most historic countries on the planet and it's terrifying to see such a place fall into Civil War.
Over here in America, a lot has happened that has shaken grounds and turned heads such as Darren Young. Darren Young is an up and coming rising star in the professional wrestling industry and has officially become the first openly gay man in wrestling. This is huge because of the impact it will have on the industry, while Young's peers seem to be showing support, ultimately it's going to be the fans that really matter. I like to personally congratulate Darren Young for his courage and hope that this doesn't negatively affect his career. Speaking of shaken up the industry, the rock and roll band KISS is bring an arena football team to the Arena Football League, The L.A. Kiss.
KISS will be bringing L.A. what it's wanted for a long time and that's a football team but the only problem, its for a second rate football league. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley bought and are naming a football team after the famous band. The reaction seems to be mix with L.A. happy to have a football team but the other have want that team to be where the big boys play. Overall, this seems to be a legit attempt to bring attention to the L.A. area and hopefully, The L.A. KISS will be something we hear of later next year.
Finally, UFO nuts are rejoicing over the recent announcement that the Central Intelligence Agency has acknowledged and revealed the location of the famous, Area 51. The area where we are suppose to be keeping aliens and flying saucers but in the end it seems to be just a base. Some have said that this is a publicity stunt put in place to hid the public from the real Area 51. Others believe that the only reason they revealed it was because they moved everything to a new secret base, maybe Area 52? Whatever you believe, the base does exists and people who believe in UFOs have a reason to restore their hope.
Personally, I'll believe it when it actually happens. This week has been full of milestones for several reasons. A country is on the verge of Civil War and more innocent lives are going to be caught in the crossfire. A young man took a risk and because the first openly gay wrestler in a sport that has never come across this sensitive subject. Los Angeles is finally getting a football team and an old American myth is finally coming to light. This has truly been an historic week and once again I like all my reader to please pray for Egypt and hope that a resolution comes to the table.

Poetry from my ebook, Madness in a Recession on Amazon and Barnes and Noble!
The Greatest
Pleasure
After years of sleeping
in a box of metal and stone,
I’m free.
Free to indulge in pleasures.
but there is only one pleasure I want.
It’s the greatest pleasure of all.
Will I get a decent hot meal?
Even though it is an upgrade
from the gruel and meatless meatloaf?
No.
Will I sleep outside under the stars?
That for me is like a blind man at an art show.
I wouldn’t know the Pegasus from the Dippers.
The only thing I would appreciate is the extra space.
No.
What about making love to a beautiful woman?
To have my hands on a pair of firm breasts
and be between the smoothest thighs a woman can have.
To be squeezed by them as I dance between them.
Oh, that is indeed a great pleasure,
but not the one I speak of.
The illusions in prison quenched my thirst for lust.
This is not the pleasure I speak of.
The pleasure I speak of
is the only way I could get to a hot meal,
or sleep outside under the stars,
or find the love of a beautiful woman.
The greatest pleasure of all is this.
Now that I am released,
I will go to a motel and get a room.
Then, for the next couple of hours,
I will keep opening and closing my door.

Adam Mack...The Miami Marvel
I was surfing the Facebook web looking for ways to advertise my ebooks and I came across a great entertainer by the name of Adam Mack. A singer and performer who asked me to review his videos so this is what I have to say. Adam Mack has a very talented voice that captures the ears at the first word of any verse. He recently released a music video of his version of Clarity by Zedd ft. Foxes and I have to say Zedd would've been proud of how this young talent delivered the song. With the help of friend and fellow entertainer Kevin Reynaldo, the video is worth your time if your a fan of the song or music in general.
The music video is very simple and focuses solely on him which is what a music video should be, just about the performer. No fancy imagery or designs, just words and music is what it's all about. Adam Mack proves he's a Miami Marvel with his work and I sincerely hope that this young man keeps following his dream. This isn't his first video, all can be found on his website, twitter account and on his facebook page. I will definitely be rooting for this man's breakthrough because he does have the "it" factor and just needs that one spark.
If anyone is interested in my review, Adam Mack has his own page on Facebook and has other videos on YouTube. If anyone needs a good director or producer then the same can be said about Kevin Reynaldo. Both deserve a job well done and again I want to wish them both the best in all of their futures. I hope we can all meet again in the near future. Until the next is written.

A Murder for A Murder: September 11th 2026 is available for free on Amazon.
Here is the description!
A day of remembrance turns into a dark déjà vu as once again there is a terrorist attack on the silver anniversary of September 11th. A group of civilians, including the Mayor of New York are being held hostage. Threatened by a group of terrorists that have been plotting the attack for years with deadly intentions in mind. Being held for a ransom, the President of the United States will be forced to make a choice. Will he give in to the demands of a murderer or do something so radical, it would change the very image of what America stands for.
The events of this date will bring back feelings from the first 9/11 attacks like anger and sorrow as well as desires for revenge and retribution. But will the United States repeat history and once again restart a circle of chaos or will the actions of the president change the course of history. How will the world respond to these actions and most importantly, will it strengthen or weaken the nation he’s sworn to protect? Who will rise with the sun on September 12th when the deadline is met? Policies will be challenged, people will be conflicted, and a nation will remember that terrorism only needs a time, a place, and the most important thing of all…casualties.
This is my first prose ebook to help start a long and hopefully successful career. I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading this story as I have creating it. It's always fascinating to wonder "what if" in the case of historical events and it's my wish that this book reminds people the most important truth we learn, especially here in the United States. Freedom isn't free. If you purchase this ebook I would like to give an early thank you and I hope you enjoy my other works, until the next is written.
