Ayyyyyy, guess who's back? Welcome back to AaronPlease.com, the coolest, flyest, & Most Marvelous website in the World. I know my post the other date (below) was rather blue, but I was just in my feelings tbh. Doing all of this work to seemingly no avail is an unreal amount of draining. While running this website, I've been challenged in ways that are so unimaginable to someone who has been handed all of their opportunities. For some reason throughout my life, I've either had to make my own opportunities or work harder than others for the chance to even get an opportunity @ doing certain things. Yes, I've also had my fair share of given opportunities, & to that I'm extremely grateful. The other day just felt like one of those days where the mountain was just too steep to climb, but I'm already climbing it so I might as well just finish. There has to be another side to all the work I've put into this website, my art, & my contributions to the World. I know there's a bigger picture for all of this. Sometimes, it's just hard to wait & see what the purpose of everything is but if we knew that information, I guess the entire journey wouldn't be as fun. Like I said in my last post, I'm going to ride out the rest of my contract w/ Wix & see where I go from there. To be completely honest, I haven't been completely happy about how things are going with Wix. After a situation involving a website domain name voucher being reneged, I got an extremely sour taste in my mouth for Wix. Once that happened, other things I realized about my 5 years w/ Wix began to arise. Maybe later on in the year I'll have more to say, but I don't want to bash the company that gave me the platform to create your favorite website, www.AaronPlease.com. I deeply appreciate this platform, but when you're dissatisfied with a service that you know could do better, you have to speak up for yourself. The only way any problem can be solved is if the problem is acknowledged. If you refuse to acknowledge a problem, it will only get bigger & cause more problems. You already know I'm speaking up if I have an issue. I already know how bad an issue can get if not addressed. Anyways, I say all that to say that on this journey of creating, there have definitely been some ups & downs, but I'm grateful to be doing this & I love doing this. Has it been monetarily & experientially worth it? Not really but for some reason, I still enjoy the fact that I'm building this. My vision for this website is bigger than the pain I've experienced creating it, but I really just want this all to be worth it. If it's not, then I can walk away with my head held high knowing that I attempted to make my vision a real thing. So many people never get that far into their goals, so I'm just grateful to have gotten to where I'm at. Anyways, there's a few things I've been wanting to write about so settle down & lock in!

​

Alright so since January, I've been saying that I wanted to write about "Anora" & "Wicked" because I saw them in the movie theaters, & I never really do that tbh. Going to the movies these days are definitely not the vibe that it used to be. The snacks are way more expensive, the popcorn isn't as fresh, & the seats are icky as fuck. However, watching a movie on a massive screen will always be the vibe of all vibes. In a modern, well taken care of, & exciting movie theater, the movie-going experience is something #special. Were the movie-going experiences I had the best ever? Definitely not, but I still had a great time watching these films in that environment. Both matinée showings, I saw "Anora" @ the AMC in Times Square & I saw "Wicked" in a completely empty theater, which was something I've never done before. Both times were great tbh, @ I'm happy I made a day out of seeing both of those movies. So let's celebrate the end of Women's History Month by celebrating these amazing women-led movies.

Let me start of with "Wicked", which is just the prequel to The Wizard of Oz, a movie I've loved since I was 7. Going into this movie, I had never seen the "Wicked" stageplay on Broadway, or even knew anything about it. I just knew that this was what came before. So I'm already knowing what the opening scene was about. Of course they were celebrating Elphaba, "the witch", being dead but for some reason, I just felt like something was off. Like in the Wizard of Oz, I understood celebrating the witch being dead, but I got an evil vibe from Glinda, the "good" witch in Wicked's celebration of the witch's death. However, I let that feeling go & allowed the movie to progress. Then, we see more about Elphaba's life, & how she became a social outcast. Then, we fast-forward to her taking her sister to college, meeting Glinda, & accidentally working her magic in front of everyone. This results in her being admitted into Shiz University, where she's been accepted into an exceptional witch program, led by the headmaster of Shiz. After an awkward encounter earlier, Glinda, who is a clear opportunist, positioned herself to be adjacent to Elphaba in order to get in the good graces of the headmaster, which leads to Glinda & Elphaba being roommates. Being polar opposites of each other, as the popular girl & the black sheep, Glinda & Elphaba obviously bump heads constantly. Then, Glinda meets Fiyero, a Mr. Bitches character, who catches the fancy of Glinda. He invited the whole school to a dance party, to which Glinda, being an opp, sabotages Elphaba's entire outfit for this party, which was Elphaba's very first party ever. Assuming that Glinda gave her some shitty hat in good faith, Elphaba shows up to the party & everyone stops dancing & having fun to watch Elphaba be herself. Elphaba, just wanting to dance & have fun too, decided to just do what she came to do. At this point in the movie, I was over how they were treating Elphaba & I started tearing up. I hate watching people get bullied & not being able to do anything about it. It was so upsetting to me. However, Glinda felt guilty & started dancing w/ Elphaba, which ultimately led to them becoming friends, as well as Elphaba becoming popular too. Personally, I still saw Glinda as fake because I've seen things like this happen irl. Being able to stand alone is something extremely powerful & sometimes, people will see you in that power & align with you to be a part of whatever you're doing, & disguising it as pity to uplift themselves. In this case, Glinda wanted to be a part of the witch program that Elphaba was enrolled in w/ the headmaster. After a few weeks of them being friends, Elphaba helps Glinda get into that program. As the movie progress, Elphaba continues to grow, & even briefly swipes Fiyero away from Glinda. Fiyero & Elphaba went on a lil mission to preserve the equality between animals & humans in Oz, & they have a lil "we shouldn't be doing this" moment; you can't just turn off being Mr. Bitches until the right girl comes along & that might've been Elphaba. We'll never know because Miss Popular was way too deep in their mix. Anyways, in Elphaba's attempt at human/animal equality, she gets invited to see the Wizard of Oz & decides to bring Glinda along. They end up learning about the prophecy of Oz & speaking to the Wizard, who is infamously a fraud. During this meeting, they find out that Elphaba is the witch chosen to fulfill the prophecy of Oz. However, this prophecy worsens the wellbeing of animals in Oz, leading Elphaba to run away with a special spellbook. Her & Glinda break apart as Elphaba escapes the Wizard of Oz & his flying monkeys, ending the movie on an amazing cliffhanger. I enjoyed this movie so much because it gave me a completely different view of a movie that I've loved since I was a child. I always thought Glinda was a positive figure in Oz, but now I know what type of fraud she is. Not only is she an industry plant witch, but she's also a fake friend. Like if I knew she was like that originally, I wouldn't have liked her for so long. I used to think Glinda was this magical figure, but she's simply just #2 behind Elphaba, which made the movie's intro that much more sinister to me. Also, why did she send Dorothy to the Wizard of Oz if she knew he was a fraud too? Like minds? I think so. Glinda is a part of Big Witchcraft, & I refuse to support someone so willing to adhere to these frauds that wanted to kill her best "friend". Anyways, I WILL be seated for "Wicked: Part 2" because I need more plot to this storyline. This is like the ultimate underdog story & obviously, I'm emotionally connected to these character. Shoutout to Jon M. Chiu & the entire cast of "Wicked" because they made a #banger movie.

​

Now on to probably my favorite movie I've seen in years, "Anora". This wonderful movie is about a sex worker meeting a customer who ends up selling her a dream. Anora meets Ivan, the son of a Russian oligarch, @ the strip club she works at. After the strip club, she goes to Ivan's house, where he pays her for private services (& lowballs her). Then, Ivan invites her to a New Years Party, they have fun, & reconvene privately again. After this session, Ivan asks her to be his girlfriend for a week for $15,000​, another lowball to which she could've asked for at least $20,000. To me, him lowballing & her accepting the lowball was my first red flag in their relationship. Anora not knowing her worth throughout this film was a constant issue that led to Anora being in the situations that she found herself in. Anyways, during this week-long business relationship, Anora & Ivan end up losing themselves in their moment & got married in Las Vegas. Ivan wanted a green card & Anora wanted to maintain a rich lifestyle. Unfortunately, neither of them knew anything about money & began to live a fantasy life. Anora quits her stripping job & Ivan continues to deceive Anora about the positioning of his financial freedom. One day while playing video games, Ivan gets a call from his handler & he is forced to tell them that he's married to Anora. Anora, not knowing that Ivan has handlers, is obviously spooked when she thinks "their" house is being invaded by them. Ivan ends up running away from his handlers instead of standing on business because he's ultimately a child, which leaves Anora alone with these Russian goons, who have to tie her up to avoid getting beat up by her, the main goon being Igor. Igor was a respectable henchman-like Russian dude who just seemed to find himself in the middle of all of this. Anora, Igor, & the other Russian goons look all over Brooklyn & Manhattan for Ivan. They find him in the strip club he met Anora in, getting a private dance from Anora's thotty opp. They dragged Ivan out of that club & into an annulment meeting in NYC but since they got married in Vegas, they needed to go back there. On that trip, Anora meets Ivan's parents, who have already deemed her as unworthy for their childish & idiotic son. After they offer Anora $10,000 (another lowball; should've went $30,000) for the annulment, she insists that her & Ivan are in love (lol). However, she ends up getting the annulment & goes back to NYC with Igor, where they hang out at Ivan's house. During this hangout & after some sexual tension, Anora calls Igor "a pussy" w/ "rape eyes" & then goes to bed. Then the next morning, Igor gets Anora her lowballed $10,000 & drops her home. Then Anora, I guess not wanting to let go of the entire dream, fucks Igor in his car. During this encounter, Anora & Igor have a deep moment where both of their traumas intersect. Then, the movie ends. When I tell you 10/10 movie, I fucking mean it. My synopsis does the movie little justice. Everyone who can see that movie should go & see it. One thing that stood out to me during that entire movie was how Anora just couldn't see her worth in the situation. Her not knowing her worth kept leading her into situations that weren't worth her time. Also, Anora hadn't experienced a certain lifestyle enough to know what was real & what was fake. Both Ivan & Anora had no idea about what taking care of yourself actually meant. Neither of them knew who they were past their superficial desires. That's why Ivan married a stripper & she said yes; they were looking for themselves in one another. They both wanted to fill that hole left inside of them with the other one, but the pieces weren't meant to fit. To handle a girl like Anora, you need to be a different type of secure, monetarily & mentally. If this marriage would've continued, Anora would've inevitably done some grimy shit that Ivan wasn't ready for. Let's think about this realistically: Anora was a sex worker in NYC & Ivan was a trustfund kid from Russia who never really grew up. Eventually, Anora would've ran thru him w/ a guy who actually knows wassup. Then, Ivan would've been stuck paying for Anora's escapades because he has yet to learn about boundaries. Luckily, this marriage never got that far because in real life, that type of marriage could end very badly. With Russian oligarch money, Anora could've disappeared without a trace. Idk, I kept thinking about how if Anora had a platonic guy friend (NOT A PIMP), he would've helped make her life easier. She would've been able to ask him about Ivan's reasonings, & he would've told her immediately that he was a duck. Overall, "Anora" is a fantastic movie & I'm definitely watching it again in the future.

​

Personally, "Anora" opened my eyes to what it could be like if I dated a stripper. I would do a lot differently than Ivan, but this is definitely not the time, nor place, to say what I would've done differently. I would definitely date a stripper if she was cool though. Also, she would have to actually fw me. I've been to strip clubs & I understand the dynamic. Although hot, a sex worker is a very tough girl to date. There's A LOT you need to take into consideration. Your girl's intimacy is for sale, so you need to have something else in between y'all to make shit solid. Also, you need to have an understanding of what's going on & what could happen. She's dancing on other men, practically naked. That type of thing can fw your head if you aren't ready to deal with that. That's why if I dated a stripper, I'm tapping in with the security to keep an eye on everything. You gotta understand what game you're playing while dating a sex worker. If your end goal is marriage, which I personally don't see anything wrong with marrying a stripper if you can handle that, then you need to lock in & have a plan of becoming legit. If not, don't even do that to yourself. Again, I'd only date a stripper if she was cool. I've definitely been to strip clubs & knew I would never lock in w/ some of those girls, but the fine & funny ones??? Yeah, they're tough to not dream about, but that's why God gave us willpower & free will. We gotta use that wisely!

​

Alrighty, I just wanted to close out this epic Women's History Month with acknowledgement of these two wonderful women-led movies. I've been wanting to talk about these films since January, but now was the perfect time to really do it. Both movies deserved all of the success that they've received. It's posts like these that help me enjoy what I'm doing with www.AaronPlease.com. I'll be back next month with some more content. April is my birthday month, so expect a few things. I have a few things in the chamber, ready to burst. I've been working, like always, & I said that if this is going to be my last year, I'm going out w/ a bang. Well, find your nearest bomb shelter because I'm dropping... 💣😏

Just Stay Tuned,
