Compression Movie - Review

Compression - 2024

This movie was made back in 2024. My good friend and actor Kevin Roach has been talking about this movie for last several years and now you can watch it too!

 Compression Trailer

GO WATCH IT HERE!

You can watch on Amazon, and also Fandango.

This movie is about an girl that does a show. Her name is Hazel. She is severely agoraphobic. She works from home and studies true crime stories. Because of her a girl was saved. Throughout this movie she faces a lot of fears and memories and it can be quite intense.

She is drinking a lot. She has a therapist she talks to. She has a sister and is missing her boyfriend. Without giving too much away, you can see through the eyes of Hazel that she struggles with her past, she struggles with living. She has been through intense trauma.

A friend of hers gives her some magic mushrooms to go out and try to get an out of body experience and maybe get through some of her insecurities.

She decided to take everything and goes on a lifechanging trip.

Anyhow, this movie was very good. It keeps you on your toes and has a great ending that kinda ties it all together and makes total sense.

A bit horror, a bit psychological and very intense.

A must see!

2 thumbs up!

Kevin, I love it so much!!!

Need A Computer Upgrade or Repair???

This gal has been busy! I just finished a custom build for a friend. He wanted a gaming PC. Not just a bunch of bells and whistles, just functional and great storage and it flies.

It might not look like much finished but its super sweet. He gave me a budget of $1100. I ended up completing the build for $1048.

What we used

Zachs Custom Build

I checked out many sites and saved him a lot. If you look at the current price of the build as it stands right now, this is his tower that I built. This price doesn't include the shipping and taxes. My final price above is after shipping and taxes. So I saved him a lot.

I also ended up getting him a larger hard drive as well.

Here are the pics.

Now here is something to think about. There are options for interior lighting, extra fans and cooling, multiple hard drives, and slots for so much additional expansion however, he would like later on.

Spring Lawnmower Wake up!

So it is spring. How many of you have lawnmowers?

So I have 2 and I was working on mine today and it had been flooding. So I was going through it and see what was what. So here is a reminder for spring. Clean out the gas tank. Change the oil!  Put non ethanol gas in it. Clean your carb and check for my issue...see if it is flooding. If so you need a needle and seal and possibly a new float if its metal.  So, I was about to just order those parts for $8.99 but on amazon for $19.99 I found the ENTIRE kit. Air filter, full carb, seals, gas lines, spark plug and more. I was like well even if I only need the seal and needle...The whole kit is a better buy. So if you have a mower, check that first before you waste extra money.

Briggs and Stratton Tune Up Kit

This is what my mower takes, check your mower model first before you purchase. I just thought I would put a PSA out there for those looking to get your mowers woke up for spring and summer.

Anyhow, hope you all are well. Happy Spring!

I got the repair done today!

Treat Spot Review - COBA The Hojicha Bar Review

 

Hi! I had a chance to try the new COBA The Hojicha Bar.

So this bar kinda blew my mind. If you like not super sugary matcha latte...this really hits the spot. Its only 2 ingredients. Hojicha and white chocolate make up this little bar.  I was a bit surprised by the flavor. On first appearance I thought it would taste like milk chocolate based on color but no...it is very green tea matcha forward. It is not bitter but also not super sweet. One bar is equivalent to one cup of tea.  If you are watching carbs, this one bar has 7. This bar is 80 calories.  If you are a fan of more traditional green tea matcha, this flavor profile gets it right in the first bite.  

So I personally like it. Both of my daughters liked it. My oldest loves matcha latte. My youngest was a bit confused at first but then was like...oh I get it now.

Overall, Id probably purchase them depending on the price point. Im not a huge chocolate eater in general unless I get a craving for it occasionally and even then I go for sugar free things because im diabetic. These are not sugar free but also not super high in sugar for the size.

I like the clean ingredients. I like the simple packaging. Im glad I got to test these.  This sample was provided to me via treat spot.

Deadly Wars - By Amber Allee - Book Review

Hi everyone!

Amber Allee Author

I recently go a chance to read Deadly Wars!

This book is pretty intense. The main character is a major badass boss. He's the President of a Motorcycle club.. Stone is the ruler of the roost. So he calls all the shots. People come to him if they are on the run and he gives them jobs working for him as maids or other services in order for them to stay safe.

He is a very touch her and die kinda guy. Fiercly protective and stands up for his troupe and family and relationships.

Reagan has come back to town. She thought things would be different and meets Stone. She has a clear mind and speaks it very well. She also is full of piss and vinegar. Shes a very FAFO type of woman and I think that is what the main appeal to Stone is of her.

I don't want to let too much out but I will say this. The chemistry is intense as is the story. You will be hooked into it from about page 3 and not want to put it down. If you like MC romance. If you like serious alpha male men and women that can kick ass you will love this combo.

Don't gatekeep on this author!

You can purchase it here!

Teacher Raises in Oklahoma...What is Really Happening Here?

 So today I came across a post about teachers in Oklahoma getting a raise of $2500. That sounds amazing right? But it comes with several red flags.

To receive this money they have to work an additional 15 days a year. They will not receive the daily rate they are due for those extra days meaning they are losing over $1800. That to me sounds awful enough. But here is the kicker....That money is coming out of the TEACHERS retirement fund.

This is money each and every Oklahoma teacher has placed money into for their entire careers and now the state wants to take that money to pay for these "raises" and upgrades to schools and scholarships for students to enroll in private school.

So what can we do?

First go check into this for yourself.

Do you know a teacher? Are you a teacher? We need to fight this before anyone can let it fall through the cracks.

Another Source

I have done unclassifed teaching in the past and the pay is not great. Even with my bachelors degree it's not great. Teachers already barely make ends meet. I know many that work a 2nd job over the summer just to be able to keep their bills paid. I cannot comprehend how this is allowed. These men and women spend countless years making sure our children learn and succeed.

So how can we help this no happen? We need to contact our Oklahoma State Representatives

Oklahoma Department Of Education

Please reach out! These funds should not be coming from our teachers pockets. This needs to be addressed from state or federal funding. Not from the very people that do the most for our children and education in this state!
