Popcorn Please


OK,

I know, I know, I haven't posted a review on a movie in a few days and your wondering why.

One reason is that I'm just being lazy and are currently posting things that are fresh in my mind, and the second reason is that I honestly haven't been wowed by any of the movies I've seen lately.

I mean I have a Blockbuster worth of films that people could easily rent and I would still have another 100+ movies to peep.

It's an obsession.

Along with the amount of shoes I have, but I'll save that topic for another post.

No, I really will, it's gotten bad, really bad.

Anyways the movies that I've seen have been so so.

Lat night I rented Babylon A.D. and The Uninvited.

Yup yup.

Hey RedBox was slacking and ya'll know I'm down for horror and sci-fi anytime.

Star Trek anybody??

On to the movies...

Babylon A.D. stars Vin Disel.(plz excuse the Russian pic.LOL!!!)



**Insert Side Eye**

And plays a mercenary who takes a job transporting a young girl and her keeper to America from Russia. He wants the guap, and she's worth every penny. Along the way however, he realizes that she has a sick gift of never experiencing a damn thing in her life but posses unimaginable amounts of memory of both the past and future.

Overall, movie was OK, not one of my favorites, but it's def great on a cloudy/rainy Sunday afternoon.

I mean, Vin can only play two roles to a "T", and Shakespeare ain't one of them.

As for the rest of the movies I've seen thus far,

I swear I'll do a day of posts dedicated to just them.

Saturday sounds nice.

See ya then folks.

Miss X is wondering about this blog that I recently began to follow.

Tales From A Groupie

Hey, I'll admit that it's juicy fictitious stories are great to read during a boring work day, but what gets me going are not the stories but the comments that people leave.

For instance, there was some rapper that I've never heard of on this side of the pond and the story teller was saying how wack he was in bed and so forth.

So she decides to only keep in contact with him for monetary means.

Question: WTF is wrong with women and getting money from niccas????

I'm beyond baffled on women who are proud to announce niccas give them money and they don't have to do anything to get it.

Maybe it's me, but I don't want any man giving me money unless it's for two reasons.

Reason # 1:

He and I are putting our money together to put a down payment on a house, car, or college fund for our peanut. Our being the optimal word.

Reason # 2:

Oh wait, reason # 1 covers all gamuts.

I'm getting infuriated day by day with every new story these broads like to divulge about a nicca doing this and a nicca doing that.

Yet I never hear about what the f-ck they're doing themselves.

Ladies, you want to know why women are constantly degraded, Black women in particular, it's because we seemly like to play the role of a doting gold digger.

Yes, I said it, GOLD...TO...THE...DIGGER!!!!

Women of all nations and creeds need to stop this mentality that men are our only monetary resources.

Men are not a side hustle and certainly not a side job. So stop trying to collect
$200 after you reach GO.

That 'ish is so sicken beyond belief.

And lastly, if you think that being to financially independent will scare a nicca off, then you need to reevaluate your meaning of being a Lady.

Peace.

Try to Steal my Sunshine...You will Get Slapped


Who in their life has not one day or another been a Debbie Downer?

There are days that I like to sulk and expect all those around me to suffer the misery I must feel, but those days are far and few.

I usually take out pent up aggression in more constructive ways.

In light of all this I realized that Debbie Downers serve a true purpose, they truly have a calling....

That calling is to ruin every extraordinary moment that takes place in your life.

They're the ones who are out there to destroy your flow of creativity.

They're the ones who always see the glass half empty and feel it completely necessary to sway your way of thinking.

They're the ones to big you up, only to critique you when you fall.

And most importantly they're, you and me.

People please stop the belittling of others. Stop the hating of others. Stop the violation of others. And stop the discrimination of others.

If you do not understand, learn.

Envy and fear begets themselves and multiply into hatred of one's self and others.

If I see something I like, I don't hate, I marvel and take note on what someone is wearing or doing.

If I bare witness to greatness, I listen and interpret.

Please folk do the same.

Lawd only knows that ur spot shall be taken by a much more humble oblivious person.

Come Braid my Hair....


I'm really stuck on the hair issue that I've been debating about lately.

Ok, so we established yesterday that I wanted a weave just to try it out.

We have also established that I have locs.

And lastly, we established that hair don't mean a damn thing to moi!!!!

In my life time I've rocked long and short hair .

And hands down, I prefer short hair.

I know what some of ya'll are saying.

Hair is an important part of being a woman.

And her length is of the utmost importance. It symbolizes femininity to enth degree....BLAH BLAH BLAH.

I had long hair and still knew I was a woman. I know so because I wash my vajayjay everyday.

Real Talk,

this long hair short hair debacle is erking me.

I would like to see everyone at one point in their life rock a short do and tell me how liberating that $hit is.

You'll be ozzing sex appeal all over the place, trust.

Chicks got a new wig, I mean Gig



So recently I re chopped my locs off because I was starting to look like the cat lady from the Simpsons, except with dreads.

Not a good look Miss X, not at all.

And I was pleased with the new cut, especially the length that it grew since I originally cut it.

Excitement all day everyday.....

But as of recent, I'm just watching every chick fly by and find myself wondering is their hair real?

Don't get me wrong, to each is their own and if you buy the hair, although you weren't born with it, it's yours.

It's not that I'm knocking those who track up their hair, I just feel much envy for those who can suddenly have change of heart and have short hair on Monday and long hair on Saturday.

Teetering on bangs or no bangs.

Asymmetrical or symmetrical.

You feel me?

Dammit, I believe that you should try everything at least once in your life. Minus the obvious things you should neva try; crack cocaine ring a bell?

But ya'll know what I mean.

I want my weave and I want my Indian Virgin Hair NOW!!!!

Remi is preferred!!!!

Bossy....

One last video for the road.

Hilarity at it's best.

The Lonely Island does it again.

LMAO!!!!!

Sea Shore, Sea Whore

Honestly,

I just had to post this video by The Lonely Island

"I got my flippy floppies...."

SMH!!!!!

How can you not love this song or this video.

High Places...


I peeped this movie back last year on DVD, but I haven't watched it recently.

It just caught my attention like most DVD's do.

Who's in it and what does the cover look like.

Like I've mentioned in the past, that DVD cover might as well be blank, that how I buy.

None of the that overwhelming $hit.

Any way, "Half Nelson" stars Ryan Gosling.

He's a base head teacher battling his drug addiction and teaching history to the inner city youths.

Eventually that addiction catches up to him. He gets sloppy and one of his brightest kids in his class catches him on the floor high as hell.

Considering her up bringing, she can spot an addict a mile away.

She takes a liking to him. He takes a liking to her. And this builds a friendship unlike any other.

Sunny Days


Woke up.

Went for a swim.

Killed 10 laps or so in the pool.

Showered...

Changed.

Got Dressed.

Walked out the Y

Plugged the I-pod

Asher Roth in heavy rotation

Asleep in The Bread Aisle.

Cop that ish....

Come See the Circus Act....


I said to myself I would not comment.

But this is exactly what Cassie aka "Assie" wants us bloggers to do.

I see she's using that good old reverse psychology.

$hit I'd do it to if all I eva was an industry hole with no talent.

But you must give it to her, she's smart enough to use the same people who clown her to sit and blog about her dumba$$ness.

Great hustle Assie, great hustle.

Well either way the point I'm trying to make is, it's cool when
Kesh
decides to shave the side of her locs, but when you start swagger jackin like you invented something new, that's when I say pls stop.

I'm saying at least if you're gonna shave ur friggin head, COMMIT do it on Amber Rose status...DAMN!!!!


And lastly,

U all know she secretly reminds you of the DC comic character Harvey Two Face from Batman


Let me stop before I get some hate mail. LMAO!!!!

Houston I Think We have a Problem...



I've been slacking on this blog and feel like I've neglected all those who actually enjoy my company during a boring work day.

If that's the case, I want to take the time to say I'm sorry and that I will try to meet your needs.

I have watched movies and have much to say about them.

I have witnessed nonsense and for sure will blog about that as well.

I have also reconnected with some truly amazing people.

I've been to the mountains and back and got a whole new jawn.

I'm pumped for this summer.

I'm pumped for putting my ideas on to paper and masterfully woven into your subconscious.

Naw, I'm just f-cking with 'cha.

Please excuse the Ebonics.

I haven't fully taken to my education. Lmao!!!!

No, but seriously, I promise that blogging will be a priority amongst others.

Let me know what you want me to discuss. I'm up for ideas....

I'm on a Million Trillion...


I'm getting lazy and coming apart by the seams.

I stopped caring for a lot of things now a days.

One being school. That place is taking my mind body and soul and I want that $hit back!!!!!!

Work leaves me tired and compliant. Not kosher. Not kosher at all.

And all I eva dream of is getting more sleep and relaxation to boot up again.

But there's hope.

I'll let you know when I hit it.

The illest manifesto I've read in a while.

Can't We all Just get Along????


I had the distinct pleasure of meeting up with an old college friend.

I say old, because I've been out of college for almost four years now. Plus and minus a few months.

It was someone who I haven't seen for a while, but def got back in touch with and was thrilled with the reunion.

The topic of compassion came up.

Although, I suggested compassion for another, I to am victim to some times lacking compassion myself.

And I ask why?

There are those who can easily have my heart and undivided attention and there are those who will never have it at all.

What differentiates the two types????

Memories Past and Present

So, this morning the car wouldn't start.

Battery was dead.

It's old.

I had to take the train and bus, which ain't so bad. But my Ipod has the same 758 songs on it from like three months ago.

I need some new music...or maybe I just need some oldies.

Michael Jackson...

Two of my favorite songs and favorite videos.

Unsolved Mysteries...



Correction, I purchased five new movies. Well two are no longer new because I finished them last night.

I've drawn conclusions on what I like and what I don't and, I'm pretty confident that these flicks were up my alley.

"Quid Pro Quo" and "Elegy"

Elegy tells the story of David Kepesh, an older gentleman whom has a taste for his students. He comes across a beauty that he's never encountered before, Consuela Castillo who renders him senseless and they start a love affair with an age difference of 33 years. She loves him, he loves her, but he realizes it too late in the game.

Quid Pro Quo, tells a tale about Issac Knott, a semi-paralyzed radio reporter, inquiring into a lead involving a man walking in to a hospital and demanding his perfectly healthy legs be cut off. Issac finds himself chasing after a subculture of wannabe paraplegics with the help of his lead, Fiona.

Both films centered around coming to terms with internal issues.

Whether it was David and his philandering ways or Fiona and her obsession with one day become a paraplegic.

Each story was told with awkward silences. In moments you thought something should be said, you fill the gaps of muteness with despair and agony.

You see acting differently. Facial composure or lack there of is the backbone of both films. Such acting is rare an often sought after by casting directors who want you to deliver emotion with few to little words.

And only a select actors can pull off such a sublime thing.

Gift from the Gods


OMG moment. I've gone DVD hunting again and will post soon about each and everyone of them.

I purchased 4 new flicks. Yeah, you heard correctly, FOUR!!!!

The excitement is just oozing out of my veins and $hit.

Anywho, I'm looking forward to the end of this work day. I'm tired and cranky!!!!
