I just have this feeling that the movie “Precious” is going to do  well tonight….Mo’Nique is a shoe in, she has cleaned up all the other awards, why not “The Oscar”…..I don’t think Avatar is going to win best Picture, even though it’s the odds on choice for most…… “Precious” has a chance…Lee Daniels has a chance….Geoffrey Fletcher has a chance for Best Adapted Screenplay…

I would not be surprised if this movie is the surprise of the night

 

Break a Leg...!!

Congrats Mo’Nique, and Geoffrey

HAPPY NEW ….DECADE!!

HAPPY NEW DECADE……cool I survived the (00’s)…..so now I have the 90’s…80’s…..and about 84% of the 70’s under my belt…..resolutions….yea I’ll make some…….use my creativity more…..read 1 book a month……and the typical stuff like save some $$ and eat right…..I really want to get my daughter inspired to get an activity and stick with it….expand her mind a little….I want to cook  meals that I’ve never cooked before….I want to hear some good music…..some really good music…….well those really aren’t   resoultions…..but I would like to experience those things this decade….believe me I’m quite sure I ‘ll think of more…..but for now those would really make me happy

The feeling is back….

….aolt of my writing is inspired by music….I don’t aways write about music , but music helps to inspire my thoughts….and I can honestly say that music just hasn’t been the same since M.J.died this past summer…..I haven’t really been listening to the radio, haven’t really watched any music videos….I haven’t read about any up and coming new acts…I kind of shut down on the music side……but have you ever heard a song so good it stays on your mind…..you find yourself singing it….next thing ya know you say I’m buying that album…..well I’m actually going to buy an album because I love this certain song……..it’s by Melanie Fiona the song is called “It Kills Me”……and I just really like this song…..no particular reason……it’s just a damn good song….. and I just had to tell somebody…….the album is called “The Bridge” by the way…..look her up…you tube…Google

I got that feeling.....

T.G.I.F….I feel good today!!

….it’s Friday three day weekend for most….so get out and enjoy it….here’s a little something to make ya feel good today!!

so what are they going to say next…..

…..alright damn enough come on leave Mike alone….you heard him the first time when he made the song…..I have heard so many stories that it really proves that the media is way out of control…..why release stories that aren’t even true…they like to use the word speculate….so in way that creates doubt in ones head ….just because you speculatesomething doesn’t even mean it’s true….ahh but I heard it on the news….I thought for sure the internet would be worse but so far there has been plenty of fan support….and even people who aren’t fans they all feel the same way….leave the guy alone…….and if one more person comes up to me at work and says …did ya hear about Micheal Jackson??!..?… I have actually had to tell people I am not interested in hearing anything negative or any other wild rumors you may have overheard…..granted the biggest star in the world is going to be the most talked about person the world but damn….and to all the magazines & 30 minute tabloid shows they aren’t helping either, now I know they are getting huge ratings because people are curious and want to her the latest….these are usually the people who are coming up to you at work…..now the world is waiting to hear the final toxicology reports….the media will get another several weeks just off of that….so I’m just wondering….. what are they going to say about Mike now…….
