In June the much anticipated 2Pac
biopic All Eyez on Me was released.
The critics were brutal and a number of fans had mixed reviews as well. As a
2Pac fan, I enjoyed the film. While there were scenes in the movie that seemed
rushed, overall, it was well done. Having a glimpse inside the life of 2Pac was
incredible. He was a creative genius, activist, and poet, easy on the eyes,
bold, and outspoken, all of which All
Eyez on Me portrayed well. Prior to the release of the biopic, I was
already familiar with his music and a number of his films (specifically Juice and Poetic Justice) both being films where you could see his star
rising. His portrayal as Bishop in Juice
was terrifying in the best kind of way. He owned the part masterfully. And in
his role as Lucky in Poetic Justice,
you could still see the street side of him, with a chill and likeable vibe. What’s
incredible about 2Pac is the fact that his legacy still remains and not just
because of the release of All Eyez on Me,
but more so because of the meaningful art he created through his music.
Sure, he made some mistakes in his life, but to get a glimpse of what his
journey was like was real. And regardless of the negative reviews from the
critics, All Eyez on Me was great. If
you haven’t seen it, I recommend checking it out. It’s dope.
Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About six to be exact. · The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. · The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
