Sons of Anarchy…how come nobody told me about this show?! I’ve spent the better part of the week catching up on the series. My observations:
Katey Sagel is phenomenal The character she plays, Gemma Teller is a bad “shut-your-mouth!”
I want a Harley.
All of the bikers looks like they smell of oil, stale cigarettes, booze, and overall funk.
This week:
Stay in Your Lane
The Basketball Diaries
Hooping it Up
The Boy decided to join the basketball team.
I resisted for the longest because I feel like every time you see a young man of color, a basketball is nearby. Chris Rock once said he went to a “Black” mall and all he saw were baby stores and sports shops as if all blacks want to do is “run and f*ck.” That’s how I feel about basketball. A casual drive through my neighborhood and it seems that you can’t go past a street without seeing some kids playing ball. I didn’t want him to fall into the stereotype of a ball player. But he begged and got on my last nerve one Saturday so I let him go to practice.
As he listened to Couch P’s instruction then played in a scrimmage I realized basketball is not about a shoe endorsement or the large life. It’s about teamwork.
For now I’ll let him continue to be a part of the team. I’m still wishing for Atlanta 2020 and the 4×400 relay.
Mind…Your Own Business
The Mister and I were discussing our days and both of us have the same problem. We have co-workers who think it’s THEIR job to keep tabs on what we’re doing or not doing. Even with the kids I have always wondered WHY people make someone else’s business their business. If I told The Teen to clean her room and she isn’t, The Boy does not need to tell me. I will find out when I go to inspect her room. I’ve noticed that when he is telling on his sister, most likely his own room is still a disaster zone.
As I have opined on more than one occasion “Stay in Your Lane!”
What I do is not your concern.
Tomorrow I unveil a new feature! Stay tuned.
I think it’s a fantastic story! I love Gemma Teller. She can call someone a “stupid b*tch” and make it sound like a love note!
Sons of Anarchy – I like the story line the characters, the acting. It is such a good show.
