I'm Taking A Break From Coolness Is Timeless!

I had wanted to do this post to celebrate one of my favorite holidays, Halloween. I don't have a lot to celebrate right now. My computer died last night. I'm using my cousin's computer to write this message. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm going to see if my laptop can be fixed inexpensively. If not, I'm going to have to get a new one before I start back in college the first of the year. I really didn't need this new expense. I'm not going to be able to be online much right now since I don't have my own computer. I'm going to have to take a break from the blogging world. This will be my last post for right now. I'm not going to be able to check out your blogs either for awhile. I'm so sorry about everything. I'll miss you guys so much. I'm hoping to be back as soon as I can. Take care. I wish you all the best.

André Benjamin Is One Of A Kind

André Benjamin, also known by his stage name of André 3000, is one of my favorite entertainers out there today. He's half of my one of my favorite hip hop acts, OutKast. Their hit singles include Ms. Jackson and Hey Ya!. He's also an actor, appearing in films like Be Cool and Four Brothers. André has his own clothing label called Benjamin Bixby. I'm always intrigued to see what André will be wearing. He's definitely one of my favorite style icons of today. He's one of a kind. I love his sense of style. He has so many wonderful looks. André is his own man. He doesn't try to conform to the standards of others. That's a good thing in my book. I hope you enjoy these photos of André in action. Let me know what you think.






















P.S. Do you enjoy those Dos Equis commercials featuring The Most Interesting Man In The World? I know that I sure do. I did a post featuring a lot of those commercials last year on the blog. Check out that post here. There have been some more commercials since then. I wanted to post those now. I hope you enjoy them.







P.S. I had another post put up here, but the videos in it were acting up. I took it off and went with this one instead right now. I've got to check the videos in the other one. I hate it when videos disappear. I do hope you will enjoy this post here.

Terrence Howard Is A Man Of Many Talents

I am a big fan of Terrence Howard. The actor's credits include Crash, Four Brothers, Hustle & Flow, Idlewild, The Brave One, Iron Man, etc. He also released an album called Shine Through It a couple of years ago. He's a talented man. Plus I think he's got really cool style. Here are some photos (by Peggy Sirota) from GQ back in 2007 that I wanted to share with you. I hope you like them. Let me know what you think.













Here is the video for Terrence's song Sanctuary. Enjoy!



P.S. I'm seeking some advice. I know I've mentioned this before, but I wanted to get some help if I can. I really want to revamp both my blogs. The main thing is that I want to switch up to a three column template. I've looked around, but it's like I can't really find the right code. I see people around with some really cool looking blogs that have three columns. I'd love to still be able to use a blog header like the one I've got on this and my other blog. All the templates I find don't seem to let me use a header at all. Anybody have any suggestions at all? Do you know of or have a template code that I could use on this and my other blog? I would greatly appreciate any help at all. I'm not a tech whiz at all so I usually have trouble with this sort of thing. Thanks so much. You're the best.

007 On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Plus Poll Results

One of my favorite James Bond films is On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This 1969 movie was the only one to star George Lazenby as 007. I've seen so much mixed reaction over the years about Lazenby and this film in general. Personally I love it. I think it would have been hard for any man to step into the shoes of Sean Connery. It didn't matter who the actor would have been. I thought Lazenby did a good job though. I loved the chemistry between him and Diana Rigg (who played Tracy, the woman Bond fell in love with and married). Telly Savalas is my favorite actor to have played archvillain Blofeld. The setting for the movie was so beautiful. I really enjoyed both the ski chase and car chase sequeneces. I also loved the music for the movie, whether it was the instrumental theme song or the love theme by Louis Armstrong. Here are some photos from this Bond movie. Have any of you ever seen it? If so, do you like it or not? Let me know what you think.





































P.S. The James Bond poll is now closed. And the winner is ...? Sean Connery! I don't think that would be any surprise to anybody. It sure wasn't to me.

Here are the results:

Sean Connery (53% with 24 votes), Daniel Craig (15% with 7 votes), Roger Moore (11% with 5 votes), Pierce Brosnan (11% with 5 votes), Timothy Dalton (4% with 2 votes) & George Lazenby (4% with 2 votes).

Sean Connery was an overwhelming winner. Daniel Craig as in second place. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan tied. Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby tied for last place.

These Cool Cats Have Urban Swagger

These are some of the modern entertainers that I feel have great style. They look fantastic whether they are dressed in suits or in more casual wear. I'm always interested to see what they are wearing next. These cool cats definitely have urban swagger. Enjoy these music videos from each one of them.

Black Dynamite Is Super Bad

I recently saw Black Dynamite. This is a movie that I had really wanted to see since I first heard about it. I am a huge fan of the blaxploitation genre. Even though Black Dynamite is a new film, it looks and feels like something straight outta the 1970's. I loved it.

Michael Jai White plays Black Dynamite, a former CIA agent, who vows revenge after the murder of his brother. "The Man" not only was behind his brother's death, but is also feeling the streets with drugs and malt liquor. I don't want to give away anymore than that. This movie is so over the top. It totally captures what made blaxploitation movies so ultra cool in my opinion.

So has anybody else seen it? What did you think of it?

























P.S. I hope everybody had a great weekend. It was a holiday weekend here in the United States so I had a three day weekend. Being that yesterday was Memorial Day, I did not do a blog post. I am posting today instead. This will be my only post on this blog this week. I should have my next post up on Monday. I'm going to head around to your blogs now. Take care. Have a fantastic week.
