‘Bob Marley: One Love’ Movie Review: Kingsley Ben-Adir & Lashana Lynch Shines in the Late Reggae Music Legend’s Biopic

Hey good peope! Ralph here. It’s been a while since I’ve written my last post on my blog. I’ve been super busy with my boxing and personal training, nutrition coaching, teaching my boxing classes, preparing to launch a new podcast. I’ll let you guys know when I go I live with it. As far as getting back in the swing of things with my blog, I’m going to be a little more consistent with my posts. With that being said, let me get to the main subject matter at hand for this particular post. I know the “Bob Marley Purists” out there will have their reservations about the accuracy or lack of significant events in the new biopic film, ‘Bob Marley: One Love’; however, I was deeply moved by the film and I highly recommend seeing it.

Boxing Fitness Motivation: What Will Decide Year 2021 for You? Luck or Fortune?

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to my blog! I hope you all are in the best of health, especially dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected us on so many levels. 2020 is finally over.

A Perspective on ‘Black Panther’ and James Brown Star Chadwick Boseman (RIP)

“Purpose crosses disciplines. Purpose is an essential element of you. It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history.” — Chadwick Boseman (Nov. 29, 1976 – Aug. 28, 2020)

I know it’s been asked countless times already, but hasn’t the year 2020 been something else? I’m putting it very modestly. The passing of Los Angeles Lakers great, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the other seven passengers who died in the helicopter crash. The killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Tony McDade. I definitely can’t fail to mention the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that continues to wreak havoc on the world. Now it’s Chadwick Boseman, who starred as King T’Challa in Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther,” died at the age of 43 following a four-year battle with colon cancer.

My Thoughts on NYC Gyms and Fitness Clubs Reopenings. Will It Be Safe to Return During COVID-19?

Hello all! Ralph “The Perennial Aesthete” is here. I hope everyone is doing well—spiritually, mentally and physically. I wanted to touch upon New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo’s recent announcement on gym openings in New York City. I know many of my fellow New Yorkers are anxious to get back in the gym. Do I miss being there? You bet! However, I honestly have mixed feelings about it. The time of the COVID-19 pandemic has truly exposed the paradox of our world. The empathy and compassion of strangers and communities efforts and dedication for the most vulnerable. For the other side, the shameless greed of corporations that has no filter.
