"Life" deserves a better rotten tomatoes rating
Unlike B.A.P.S, there was a film called "Life", a 1999 film that starred comics Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence in a comedy buddy film about two men wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. While they were in prison, they befriended each other and other inmates in prison as well. This film received 52% rotten tomatoes. I watched the film for the first time and honestly, the rating could've been better. Here's why.....Now this isn't the first film Eddie and Martin worked on the two comic duos had worked on Boomerang.

Sweet Doggie . Content Warning.
Never in my entire life have I ever thought about doing revenge on someone or anyone for that matter, but there's something I did so terribly awful that I did to a guy I had dated for a while. This is an unbelievable story about the time I got revenge on my ex-boyfriend Mike. Warning: very comedic and vile. Please don’t do it!!!!!

Something About Carlee Russell
I could be wrong but I don't want to believe that this is another kidnapping hoax. A 25-year-old Hoover woman was kidnapped after saving a toddler in the middle of a highway she was snatched by an unknown person after she was on the phone with a family member and heard her screaming until the phone cut off. Two days after her "kidnapped", she was found alive at the footsteps of her parents' house and was taken to the hospital. As grateful as we are that she is alive and safe, I noticed something about this case doesn't seem to add up like if she was really kidnapped or she faked the whole thing. Hmmmm. Here's what happened time.

Hampton University, Morgan State University, or possibly University of Maryland
If I didn’t have my son, I would have been a student at Hampton University, Morgan State University, or possibly the University of Maryland. When I was in my junior year of high school, I had planned to go to an HBCU college or University of Maryland aka UMD or maybe go on to MC (Montgomery College) a two-year college then transfer to a four-year college but then a change of plans happened when I became a college teen mother and barely went back to college. These three universities were close to being my future college while I was in high school and that's coming from young seventeen-year-old me who had dreams and wishes she would have ended up at these universities and not be a stay-at-home mom watching her dreams fade away but anyways these are the three universities that I wanted to go to other than MC.
