Summary

Lance “Tut Almighty” Foster generates much interest in the new year of 2012. TUT Almighty is not your average stereotypical hip hop artist. Originally from the state of Florida, Lance adopted the name “TUT” when he began his quest into the “rap battling” freestyle contests. Rap battling refers to when to two “MC’s” aka rap battlers face off by taking turns using their extensive rhyming and vocabulary to pick on the opposing battlers demeanor or look. Usually the audience judges the rap battlers on their techniques and flow. When Lance is not playing his rap alter ego character TUT Almighty, he can be found working at NASA Aerospace utilizing his degree in engineering. For this reason alone, he is “The World’s Most Interesting Negro” as he states as his twitter description at http://twitter.com/TUTALMIGHTY .

The video for TUT ALMIGHTY featuring Qnice called “What You Want” was produced in 2011 for heavy rotation in 2012. The video above was executive produced by Nap Gang Empire and taking the producer credit is Marlowe Taylor from Studio 76 in Cleveland, Ohio. The video was directed by John Lorince of Capture Motion Publishing (Yours Truly).

Even though the weather let loose with its first barrage of snow in the Cleveland, Ohio area, the early screening visitors were not to be upheld by mother nature. There was a full house of patrons at the Regal Cinema Movie theater in Richmond Heights, Ohio.

This was my first trip to see an early screening of a film courtesy of Paramount Studios and www.Gofobo.com. The Adventurers of TinTin became the perfect movie to treat my close friends to during the hectic season of holiday shopping.

Synopsis

TinTin is a animated 3d movie about a character named TinTin and his trusty dog Snowy that purchase a model treasure boat at a market and find out that there are many people that want this boat in their own possession. TinTin and his pup find out that the boat has a secret document enclosed in the boats that lead to a treasure.

The movies animation is created beautifully making the characters so realistic and the environments super life like. I am personally in awe of the professionalism of today’s animators using 3d technology. The marriage of animated movies and 3d technology will be something that we should see for some time to come.

The character TinTin (Jamie Bell) for me was a character that I learned to like early on, with his adult like demeanor and his child like spirit you rooted for him right away. And his dog Snowy was very funny the way he interacted with TinTin and his mannerisms were extremely life like.Andy Serkis’s character Captain Haddock is the original heir to the treasure being hunted by TinTin and his pup. Captain Haddock’s character is compelling in that he is battling alcoholism in his pursuit of helping TinTin find the treasure and battling Sakharine (Daniel Craig) and his cronies. The Thomson brothers are the comic relief for me played by Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. They played cops that were brothers that appear to be twins trying to the keep the town safe and become a supporting characters to TinTin in his quest to find the missing treasure.

Conclusion

Great movie to take your kids to see if they can follow action and a story line well. If your a fan of animation I feel this is a must see for I have not seen environments and characters made more real by 3d animation.

Astrology and Me

I have had interests in Astrology ever since my early twenties. I am not going to go into the history of Astrology here, but I must mention that Astrologers have been highly regarded in societies that date back to the beginnings at Mesopotamia. However, most school systems did not add this bit of information to their history books, at least not for a high school education.

As of recently I had been compelled to learn more about the subject as I had scraped the surface in the past. But now I wanted to really know all the workings of its ancient study and language. So I was searching around the internet using keywords such as metaphysical, metaphysical studies, knowing yourself through the planets, and I landed upon the web site of Brian A. Hill.

Brian A. Hill – Humanistic Astrologer

At first glance the site was pleasing enough to the eye for me to start reading the text on the page. And this is where I found the best explanation of Astrology that I had heard from somebody other than the racket that was going on inside of my head.Brian A. Hill’s explanation of astrology, the heavens, and their ancient wisdom had intrigued me to contact him about a reading.A link to Brian’s Web site is http://brianahillsrq.wordpress.com/.

The Reading

Brian and I had exchanged a couple emails and I gave him my birth information and had arranged a call for the following Monday or Tuesday. Brian was very pleasant on the phone and we talked about my wants in this world and we had discussed my moon sign ( Capricorn ) and my Sun Sign ( Aquarius ). Brian gave me a good impression of knowing his craft for I had studied briefly and he had passed my tests quite simply. I liked his approach in which he calls “humanistic astrology” where he focused on what will make you happy as an individual in this lifetime and uses some practical steps to begin to achieve those goals. I do recommend him to anyone looking for some clarity on why you may be feeling a certain way about something, and hearing your thoughts being presented back to you can be a healing vibration. Or perhaps you are a person that feels they are not living their life to their expectations or wants. I do look forward to more conversations and or readings with Mr.Brian A. Hill my humanistic friend.
