Woofr

I haven’t heard this much barking in like ever. Our Cody dog who is a lab mix had to share what was on his mind last night and kept us wide awake. He is quite the barker. While some in the world were communicating on Twitter we got to be in the reality of Woofr the dog version. I hope for sleep tonight, I really need it. I don’t think the dog’s have come up with hashtags.

Zumba Night In Red Bank

Zumba after a long day at work and little sleep the night before is going to be interesting. I am so tired but I skipped last week so I am a must go tonight.

The Color Of A Hero

I don’t understand why it’s always a pretty white gal and guy who are in the movie to save the day? To me it seems like diversity is a strength and there are many capable actors and actresses of color who can be the super hero. It really doesn’t send a good message when its all about the brave and the beautiful. Can the brave be average looking? Is there a rule that the hero has to be a hunk or the heroine supposed to be hot? Also do the heroes have to be always slender, like they might need to eat a sandwich or something.

I really don’t mean to be judgemental like I mentioned in my previous post but this is a real world problem that spills out into the cinema and on TV. We could say it’s the writers who make this happen but just think if Harry Potter was of Asian heritage or if Katniss Everdeen were African American. Maybe there needs to be a change in how the world is looked at. Heroes come in all packages and shapes and colors. It’s kind of how we were made. Just saying.
