So, a while back I posted a video on my Youtube page of my family getting a Nintendo Wii U for Christmas.  My 2 little ones flipped out, my wife filmed and laughed hysterically in the background and I got the dad of the year award (according to my kids).  It made for a great Kodak moment and Nintendo loved it.  They loved it so much they flew my entire family out on an all expense paid trip to their Headquarters in Seattle WA.  Let me start off by saying the place was amazing and they treated my family like royalty.  We were surrounded by great people who just so happened to work for the company who’s created so many childhood memories for most of us.  The place was locked down like the CIA so a lot was off-limits. Just know Nintendo is planning to take over the world and maybe my family will have a little something to do with it.  Maybe.

There was a photo floating around that was supposed to be the cover but THIS is the official album cover for Alicia Keys new album. She said she named it “Girl On Fire” because she felt like she was a lion trapped in a cage. I am a HUGE fan of hers and cannot wait until this new album drops. Her & her hubby, Swizz Beats, released “New Day” not that long ago & i can admit it is a good song, very anxious to see what the rest of her album is going to sound like. A lot has changed since her last album with her being a new mommy & what not.

What do you guys think of this album cover?

Big Ups to my bro MGK. It’s always good to see the underdog get their shine. Make sure you pick up his latest EP “Half Naked and Almost Famous” on iTunes.  Check out a past Interview I did with the homey Machine Gun Kelly here.
