Jurassic World and Guardians Of The Galaxy Star Chris Pratt shares the best nine important lessons ever

While accepting the Generation Award at the recent MTV Movie And TV Awards, Chris Pratt (a.k.a Star Lord) gave a standout speech that I couldn't help but share.

Why do i feel the need of posting this? I use to have a picture of Pratt in my head that screamed "Bad Boy." But seeing this, especially learning that he's Godly and wants other people to know, I am awed.

He started off funny - if he didn't, he wouldn't be Chris Pratt, would he?
I've learnt a lot off this... you should.

"This being the Generation Award, I’m
going to cut to the chase and I am going
to speak to you, the next generation." he started off after thanking his loved ones. "I
accept the responsibility as your elder.
So, listen up."

"Nine Rules from Chris Pratt, Generation Award Winner"

(1) "Breathe. If you don’t, you will
suffocate."

(2) "You have a soul. Be careful with it."

(3) "Don’t be a turd. If you are strong, be
a protector. If you are smart, be a
humble influencer. Strength and
intelligence can be weapons, so do not
wield them against the weak. That makes
you a bully. Be bigger than that."

(4) "When giving a dog medicine, put the
medicine in a little piece of hamburger
and they won't even know they're eating
medicine."

(5) "It doesn't matter what it is. Earn it.
A good deed. Reach out to someone in
pain. Be of service. It feels good and it's
good for your soul."

(6) "God is real. God loves you, God
wants the best for you. Believe that, I
do."

(7) "If you have to poop at a party, but
you're embarrassed because you're going
to stink up the bathroom, just do what I
do. Lock the door, sit down, get all of the
pee out first. And then, once all the pee
is done, poop, flush, boom! You
minimize the amount of time that the
poop's touching the air.

"Because if you poop first, it takes you
longer to pee and then you're peeing on
top of it, stirring up the poop particles,
create a cloud, goes out, then everyone at
the party will know that you pooped. Just
trust me, it's science."

(8) "Learn to pray. It's easy, and it is so
good for your soul."

(9) "Nobody is perfect. People will tell
you that you are perfect just the way that
you are, you are not! You are imperfect.
You always will be, but there is a
powerful force that designed you that
way, and if you are willing to accept
that, you will have grace."
"And grace is a gift. Like the freedom
that we enjoy in this country, that grace
was paid for with somebody else's blood.
Do not forget that. Don't take that for
granted."

Number 3 and 9 (and 4) did it for me but that was an awesome list. Ratings will surely spike if we have more this and less political jibberish.

Thank you, my favourite Chris.

Who's your favorite Chris?

The Aquaman Experience

Image
The name Aquaman means different things to different people. To some people, it's one of the new December movies they should go see with their family. To some, it's the type of movie they should see because they don't do Nollywood. To people like me, it's the movie we hope we have been waiting for – the movie that saves the DC Cinematic Universe. The first two batch possibly don't even know what the last batch is talking about– they just wanna see a movie. But guess what? Aquaman makes the grade of all– of everyone who sat in the dark room staring at the giant screen with different expectations, Aquaman delivered. From the director of "Furious 7" and "The Conjuring" franchise comes ANOTHER superhero movie following a long list of other major tentpoles that have destroyed box office records and the hearts of movie-goers in a good way. But Aquaman seeks to standout and it does because who knows Aquaman? "Batman, we know. Superman,

NBC's Timeless, DC's Legends Of Tomorrow: Two sides Of The Same Coin... for now.

The time team on both shows are immensely committed to preserving history. While Legends have done that using different plotlines each season, our friends on Timeless have been chasing an evil organization called Rittenhouse, that is bent on turning history in their favour. That summarizes the plan of every Legends' big bad. With time travel shows, having intertwined plotline shouldn't raise eyebrows. Both shows have meddled with past presidents' younger selves, history shapers and also music legends. The newest episode of Timeless(S02E06) titled "The King of Delta Blues" definitely made Legends fans nostalgic(sort of.) Rittenhouse travelled back in time to San Antonio, 1936, to stop Robert Johnson and Don Law from recording an album and the team wants to make sure the album is made. Robert Johnson is the King of Delta Blues and Father of Rock 'n' Roll. Not recording that album means there is no modern blues music, "no rock n roll, none of y

The Great War: A Game Of Thrones Story

"Fall back!" Jon yelled. "Forget them, capture the White Walker." Brienne sheathed her sword and took hold of the d ragonglass lurcher that has been dangling on her back. She arranged the metal atop the wood the way Gendry had taught them. The White Walker was coming for her. Why Me? The White Walker moved towards her still, advancing; leaving a trail of dead men in his wake. She hadn't used the l urcher today... she loathes the sound it makes when fired; she couldn't afford going deaf for any period of time in the middle of a battle. Jon had earlier exhausted his on the wights. The way he used them, sometimes, she thought he enjoyed it. But the White Walker kept coming for her... and she fired. She saw the moulded glass bore a hole in his chest. Then he stopped and slouched. "It didn't work." She tried to yell above the clanging of swords and shouts of fighting men, "It doesn't work on them." The White

Three Shows That Shouldn't Be Cancelled.

Image
In the past week, it was bloodshed on the small screen as both Cable and Network broadcasters decided which shows they will be bringing back for the 2018/2019 season. You can find the cancelled list of shows  here Some shows are still hanging on a thread but there are three special(sort of) cases that shouldn't be given the red card. The thing is, the studios are holding back these announcements because these shows are wrapping up their 2017/2018 seasons and they want the finale ratings to roll in for cconsideration. And also, to find a way to easily drop the announcements without massive outrage. Actually, there is no easy way to tell me my favorite show has been cancelled. Timeless Timeless got cancelled after its first season last year and fans were enraged. A protest began on social media and the fans probably took to the streets too. In less than two days, NBC was forced to renew it for a second season which is the incredibly massive season we are all enjoying t
