Tabitha Brown and her husband Chance have been going strong for 17 years and are proof that when you’re happy in your marriage, time seems to almost come to a standstill. The 41-year-old vegan social media influencer and her entrepreneur hubby took a break from their weekly “Fridays with Tab & Chance” IGTV series to share a fly throwback image with their followers. In the five-year-old photo, the lovebirds are hugged up and all smiles. Tab’s printed leggings, fringe boots and tank were upstaged by her drastically different ‘do. The actress’ now-signature curly ‘fro, which she lovingly refers to as Donna, is straightened and dyed in the pic — a stark contrast to her dark brown color that fans are used to seeing. “Fridays with Tab&Chance will be back next Friday, so I’m gonna leave y’all with a little throwback from a about 5 years ago!” Brown captioned the post. “The more things change, the more they stay the same❤. Love you babe @teamchancebasketball #tabandchance #22years” The “first encounter” for Tabitha and Chance was in fifth grade when the two had an altercation at a recreation center. They began dating in eighth grade, broke up in ninth grade, got back together in college, got married at 24, and have been together ever since. Between the couple’s radiant love, apparent agelessness and Tabitha’s throwback appearance, fans couldn’t get enough of the photo. “Oh they are definitely washing with that soap from 17 again” “Look at Donna showing out all laid back” “Wow . You two look like teenagers in love! ” “Look at Donna get into her” “5 years ago?! Not aging at all!!” A few fans also admitted that they had to do a double take because of the resemblance to her daughter, Choyce. “I thought that was Choyce ” “Lord I thought that was Choyce too cute” “You and your daughter are twins. I thought that was her” In addition to being social media darlings, the Browns also are parents to two children, 18-year-old daughter, Choyce, and eight-year-old son, Queston (aka Quest). Chance is father to an older daughter, 24-year-old Ty-Leah Hampton, from a previous relationship. The Digital Ink Spot. The Gorelets Omnibus collects all the bloody little bits of Michael Arnzen's poetry written in the past 10 years into one big volume. From the contents of the original Gorelets chapbook and his classic "refrigerator of the damned" online magnetic poetry experiment, to Arnzen's latest flash fiction and brand new Zombie Haikruel series, this collection chronicles his revolutionary vision for the horror short form. He even received a Bram Stoker Award for Alternative Forms for some of the work included in this book. As one of the first writers to recognize the creative capacity of handheld devices, Arnzen's pioneering work to deliver gory entertainment in as few characters as possible is still eminently relevant today. Thus, a "casebook of criticism"-a collection of scholarly analyses of Arnzen's unique approach to the genre-is included alongside the poetry. This is most definitely an experiment in poetry. These poems were specifically designed to me read on a PDA screen and now brought into the modern age and available for the Kindle and Kindle apps. Each one poem was purposefully constructed to fit in the screen. Every word is important. All that being said, these are horror poems that will repulse and horrify. Some of Arnzen work is down right hopeless. There are no happy endings here. There's no room. Every poem jumps you right into the muck, the guts and the gore. The book also includes micro poems that were published on Twitter from 2009 to 2011. These are very interesting. It's great to see an artist overcome a 140 character limit. Included are a few examples of flash fiction. These are great examples of Arnzen's ability to tell a story in short form. Also included are essays of criticism on the Gorelet experiment. These are great examples of insight on what others think of Arnzen's poetry. If you are not a fan of Arnzen, this is a wonderful introduction and for those fans of Arnzen's writings, this is a must have. And feel free to share this post via your social network of choice. Let's help these authors get the word out to other readers. Double-take Tales by Donna Brown. I recently ran across a smart little e-book consisting of three short stories, and I must say, the title intrigued me. However, I’m such a picky reader that I wasn’t sure if the stories would hold my interest. I’m happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised. Double-take Tales by Donna Brown, is an interesting read. Hmmm… Or rather, three interesting reads. This book contains three unrelated short stories– Round Trip , Poison , and C’est la vie . Three dark, sardonic short stories that will have you expecting the unexpected:In “Poison,” a psychologically abused wife discovers that her husband’s nut allergy may be the solution to all her problems.In “Round Trip,” a five pound note passes through desperate hands, greedy hands and tired hands before coming full circle…accompanied by a big surprise. In “Ç’est La Vie,” the police bungle a murder investigation under the watchful eye of someone uncomfortably close to the killing. Win With eBooks! Yep!

Thanks for reading! eBook or Print – Which do you fancy? I’ve been an avid book reader all of my life, and reading has truly been my solace. I never really got into small or pocket-sized paperbacks. They just feel uncomfortable to me. Larger were always my thing, especially hardbacks. Nothing beats the feeling of cuddling up in my favorite chair, or getting all comfy in my bed, to prepare to be swept away by a great mystery or thriller. Well, times have changed, but they haven’t really changed me. I still prefer to curl up with a great printed book, open it to my bookmark, and start flipping pages. There’s just something about having an actual book in my hands. Yeah… I’m old school! The Cleveland Show. Cleveland's ex-wife Loretta, has finalized her divorce with him and has taken custody of the house, forcing him to move out of Quahog, to go live in Stoolbend, with his son, Cleveland Junior. They plan on moving to California and pursuing their dreams there, but on their way, they take a stop by Cleveland's hometown, Stoolbend, of East Virginia. There, Cleveland is reunited with his high school, sweetheart, Donna Tubbs, who is now a single mother, bringing up two kids, Roberta Tubbs and Rallo Tubbs, after divorcing her nasty, ex-husband, Robert, who stole her from Cleveland, back when they were still in high school. Now that Cleveland is back with Donna again, he is ready to give her the husband she needs in order to support her dysfunctional family. However, he has a bit of competition, as Robert has the nerve to come back and try to win her over again. Cleveland eventually wins the fight and marries Donna, bringing the Brown and Tubbs family together as one, and making them settle for a life in Virginia, as opposed to California. Now all that needs to be focused on is the wild and crazy adventures of Cleveland Brown, living in Stoolbend, and supporting two ungrateful stepchildren, with no respect for him, and a crazy bear, who lives next door. On the date of May 19, 2013, The Cleveland Show had been officially cancelled, due to unspecified reasons, though most believe that it was due to a decrease in ratings and lack of interest. Following it's cancellation, production for the series was shut down entirely, meaning that there was no proper series finale episode. However, the story arc continued, when Cleveland returned to Quahog in the Family Guy episode "He's Bla-ack!", an episode of the season of Family Guy that aired the year after The Cleveland Show's final season. Cleveland, Donna, Junior, Roberta, Rallo, are now minor characters, who are neighbors on Spooner Street.

    Postmodernism: The American T.V. Show, 'Family Guy, As a Politically Incorrect Document Tyron Tyson Smith1; Ajit Duara2* 1Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, Maharashtra, India. 2*Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, Maharashtra, India. 2*[email protected] Abstract Postmodernism is a movement that grew out of modernism. Movements in art, literature, and cinema focused on a particular stance. The visual artists who created entertainment focused on expressing the creator herself/himself beginning from German expressionism to modernism, surrealism, cubism, etc. These art movements played an important part in what an artist (literature, art, and visual) portrayed to his or her audience. As perspectives played an important part, an understanding of what the artist needed to portray was critical. Modernism dealt with this portrayal, which came about due to the changes taking place in society. In terms of the industry, where the overall product dealt with features like individualism, experimentation and absurdity, modernism dealt with a need to overthrow past notions of what painting, literature, and the visual arts needed to be. "After World War II, the focus moved from Europe to the United States, and abstract expressionism (led by Jackson Pollock) continued the movement's momentum, followed by movements such as geometric abstractions, minimalism, process art, pop art, and pop music." Postmodernism helped do away with these shortcomings. An understanding of postmodernism is explored in this paper. The main point which sets it apart is concepts like pastiche, intersexuality, and spectacle. Concerning pop culture, an understanding of referencing is a constant trait used by postmodern art.

After seeing the brief pilot, Fox ex- ecutives green-lighted the series. Says Sandy Grushow, president of 20th Century Fox Television, “Th at the network ordered a series off of eight minutes of fi lm is just testimony to how powerful those eight minutes were. Th ere are very few people in their early 20’s who have ever created a television series.”20 Family Guy made its debut on network television on January 31, 1999—right after Fox’s telecast of the Super Bowl. Th e show import- ed the Life of Larry and Larry & Steve dynamic of a bumbling dog owner and his pet (renamed Peter Griffi n and Brian, respectively) and expanded the supporting family to include wife, Lois; older sis- ter, Meg; middle child, Chris; and baby, Stewie.

Given the size of the audience, Fox believed MacFarlane had produced a hit and off ered him $1 million a year to continue production.
