Last Chance Harvey

Jeremih was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1987. He performed tunes since he was just a small child and had the capability of playing drums, guitar, bass, squad and saxophone. He explained singing was just not a leisure activity, however, it was his way of life.

“I wouldn’t say I was forced into music, but while other kids were getting video games and toys for Christmas, I was given musical instruments. Mom worked hard to make sure I had all the tools available to develop a talent she saw in me even then. Within no time I had all the essentials of a band,” he said upon remembering his youth and reflecting about how he was introduced to instruments by his mom.
Although he lacked any qualified coach who could train him the ways of being a musician, Jeremih developed a stunning vocal potential. “I listened to the radio and I learned to play by ear. I tried to take classes but the teacher would always yell at me because I wouldn’t read the music. I would close my eyes and feel it and that’s how I taught myself,” he explained about how he had begun to develop his musical skills.
Jeremih wasn’t only a tremendous artist, but in addition he was also a scholar, having an outstanding educational track record. He skipped his junior season and finished high school, graduating when he was only 16. The future was bright for young Jeremih with so much going for him from different sides of life.

He shared one of his most meaningful experiences which became one of the biggest stepping stones leading him to the music industry; “I was set to perform in a talent show where I had to be Stevie Wonder. Being that his music has had such a strong influence on me, I knew I had to kill it, sort of as a tribute to Stevie.”
When Jeremih was studying at Columbia College he hit homemade facilities with developer Mick Schultz and recorded a demo with him. Their initial tune obtaining radio airplay was entitled “My Ride” which in turn was played in the radio’s regular rotation. In the month of February of 2009, Jeremih traveled to New York to highlight his expertise before Island Def Jam President L.A. Reid and govt. second in command of A&R Karen Kwak. Right after finishing his performance, he was promptly signed with the giant recording corporation.
Jeremih then labored for his debut recording Jeremih. Getting back together with his longtime buddy Mike Schultz, he dropped the album in the United States on June 30, 2009. The lead single through the album was “Birthday Sex” which actually peaked at number four on Billboard Hot 100 and secured the most notable spot on Billboard Hot Hip-Hop/R&B Tunes chart. From his childhood he had a great thirst for music. The music was in his blood. The tunes were in his heart. The fine tunes and melodies had a great effect all over his life. His addiction in music eventually peaked at such a level he felt he had discovered the true meaning of life. Hard labor, addiction, love, and passion for music made him one of the glowing stars in the sky of music.  Find more great entertainment options at www.tvdonewright.com.

Once Upon a Time usually likes to keep their spoilers under wraps, especially when it comes to what they have planned for future episodes. But Victoria Smurfit recently revealed two things on Twitter (before hastily deleting, of course!) that the writers of the show probably wanted to keep under wraps for at least a little while longer: not only is the actress joining the show in season 4, but she will be playing Cruella de Vil! The show’s writers hinted that there would be a new villain in the second half of season 4, and it seems that the villain will be none other than the animal-hating, cruelty-loving Cruella.

Victoria Smurfit may be familiar to viewers who watched the ill-fated NBC series, Dracula. She played a mysterious and talented vampire hunter who fell in love, unknowingly, with Dracula and was ultimately killed by him. And given her ‘Dracula’ character’s spiky nature, Smurfit may be just the perfect fit for Cruella.

Although we do know who she is playing, the writers of Once Upon a Time have not yet revealed what connection—if any—Cruella may have to the current residents of Storybrooke. Given past precedent on the show, however, it’s more than likely that she will have a connection to either the Charmings, Regina, or Rumpelstiltskin. Some fan theories have suggested that perhaps Cruella will be the “other” aunt of Elsa and Anna, who disappeared during their parent’s childhood. This does seem plausible, although Once Upon a Time does not usually like to drag its story arcs past a half season, and making Cruella the “other” sister might require Elsa and Anna to stick around for longer.

Other theories created by fans are suggesting that Cruella may be a vindictive and power-hungry seamstress who will do anything it takes to get that “perfect” material for a coat, even if “whatever it takes” means hurting other people. This theory seems plausible at the outset, but it’s unlikely the writers will make a “big bad” have such a simple desire.

Another popular theory was brought up by fans who noticed the fact that Jiminy Cricket has a dog named Pongo in Storybrooke. Although the name was likely just a nod to the Disney film initially, the writers may decide to incorporate Pongo into Cruella’s story or even incorporate Pongo’s owner, Jiminy Cricket, into the fray. Learn more right over here.

Are You Afraid of the Dark, which aired from 1991 to 2000, spanned a total of 7 seasons and entertained viewers young and old with some thrills, chills—and, yes, even some cheesiness. Although not every episode of this 90s horror anthology show has stood the test of time, there are still many episodes which can scare the pants off kids, kids at heart, and just plain old adults. Which episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark? We will have you answering with a resounding “YES!”? Let’s take a look!

	The Tale of Apartment 214 This episode may not seem scary in its synopsis: a lonely girl befriends a lonely old woman named Madeline, only to break a promise to meet her one afternoon to hang out with new friends her own age, which results in Madeline (who is, of course, a ghost) becoming angry with her. What’s so scary about an old woman, even a ghostly one? In short: everything! The character of Madeleine might be sweet when she’s happy, but once you get her mad? You’ll be cringing behind your blankets at how terrifying she can be! Thankfully, this episode does have a happy ending… as long as Madeline is never angered again.
	The Tale of the Quicksilver You’ll never look at the letter “Q” the same way again. In this particularly creepy tale, a demon haunts the home of a newly-moved in family, seeking the souls (and lives) of the children inside. What is particularly creepy about this episode is the effectiveness of the demon’s make-up, and the fact that his evil presence is always preceded by something so simple… a “Q” on the wall. This episode will make you want to skip from “P” right to “R!”
	The Tale of the Crimson Clown This episode was a real nightmare for anyone with even a passing anxiety about clowns. This particularly dark episode tells the story of two brothers, one of whom (who, it must be admitted, was a total brat) is terrified by a sinister clown doll that wants to teach him a deadly lesson about being terrible to his family. The lesson is learned, but not enough can be said about the absolutely creepiness of this small, purple haired clown doll, who behaves and looks like he belongs more in it than a children’s show.

I miss the 80’s sometimes.  I miss that most TV shows during this time had theme songs with actual lyrics.  They were fun and fast and entertaining.  Some even had a run on the Top 40 Pop Charts.  Not all were record setters, however, but they all had to be catchy and light-hearted.

The Facts of Life had that type of theme song.  I can hear it in my head whenever I happen to think about the show.  That’s not often but it makes me smile when it happens.  It doesn’t seem like much of guy show since it took place at an all female boarding school in New York State but I had to kind of watch what my older sister was watching and once we got into it, we always seemed to watch it when it was on.

The characters were well defined on The Facts of Life.  A spin-off of the highly successful Diff’rent Strokes, they had to have some solid tie to that show so they had it feature Mrs. Garret, the housekeeper from there.  She became the housemother of a dormitory of a private girl’s school.  The show centered around several of the girls living there and over the course of 9 seasons and 209 episodes, many different stories and characters were featured.

The main girls featured for much of its run were Blair, the stuck up rich girl, Jo, the tomboy tough one, Natalie, the chubby heavy set girl with a sweet personality and Tootie, played by Kim Fields.  The latter’s character was also seen in more episodes of Diff-rent Strokes than the other girls.  I liked that cross over with the other show.  It was exciting when they all appeared in different episodes.

Juggling that many characters and plotlines was difficult at first and after the first season, they cut most of the other girls down until we got those four main ones.  And Mrs. Garrett of course.  She was backbone of the show, the wise old mother that kept everyone in line and listened to them when they needed to vent or gave them advice when they needed that. Click right here for information about getting cable television so you can watch reruns of this great show.
