The ladies of "FOCUS" discuss Captain Kirk...

Last night I was a guest on the the very funny improv show "FOCUS", which is a parody of "The View". The ladies all had great characters, and chatted, bitched, and interviewed their guests. All of this hilarity took place at the Magnet Theatre in New York City

First was "Sarah", who was an American Idol contestant, and she sang a very cool original song all about wimpy guys. It was a perfect segue for me and:

CAPTAIN KIRK'S GUIDE TO WOMEN- How to Romance Any Woman In The Galaxy.

I demonstrated my Trek-Knowledge to the audience, made some jokes, and gave away some books. The interview surrounded Captain James T. Kirk and his Plasma-Powered Playboy self, but also took some tangents into the world of TV host scandals and such.

A great time had by all!

Forbidden Kingdom

This movie was awesome. Forget everybody who went to this movie looking to see "remains of the day" or something. The movie gave exactly what it promised, which was a fantasy story, with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. It's basically a "Wizard of Oz" remake for boys who want to kick kung-fu ass.

Which is me.

The story starts in our world and then takes us to a great mythical world where Jackie gets to bring back his classic drunken master character. Jet li even smiles a lot. I would recommend this movie to ANYONE who would want to see it.

What I mean by that is that it IS as cool as it looks- the "please don't suck" prayer is unneeded.

I gave it a 9 because it proposes a certain story, tells it well, and fulfills each of it's promises. I thoroughly enjoyed 90% of it, so it gets a 90 from me!

125th and Martin Luther King Blvd...

After going to Rick and Meital's Passover Seder this weekend, and then watching the finale of "The Big Give", I decided that this week would be "Benevolence week".

I went to 125th and MLK in Manhattan to hand out "TooProudForTheNword.com" buttons to passers by. I figured (correctly), that I would find a better concentration of African-Americans there than on my own Columbus and 97th street.

Although many people ignored me as I tried to hand them a button, there were far more who took one, and more importantly, several people gave me a "Thanks Brutha!", which I really appreciated. In fact, I noticed that I got more attention from someone when I called them "brutha or sista", so "Here ya go Brutha- too proud for the N word?" became the opener.

I handed out 2 per person, and after a bit, an older gentleman was so into the movement, he took a bag and started handing them out with me. I felt SOOO proud that this older man (he was at least 65) with a little limp and white hair would stand out there with me handing them out. He gave short lectures and chased people down if they didn't take a button- especially the pretty women! No matter what happens after today (as I've now given out all 2500 buttons that I started with), I can feel like I really did something.

Some people asked if I would come to their school and talk or something, and I figured "sure". The message is all the same.

Now, we'll see if any of the 2500 buttons make it to the website and some more are created...
