A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words..how much is a word worth?

So...I tried to not blog yesterday so I wouldn't become one of those blog obsessed people, but whatever...get it while the getting is good. Blog while I'm excited about it I guess.

So here goes.

I didn't want to comment on the idiotic comments that Slim Thug made recently...but I'm sorry I must. If not just a little bit.

-He's stupid.

That's all the energy I have in my mind, body, and soul to comment on such statements that he made about black women.

I think this article does great justice to how I feel about it. (BTW...I love Essence, I will be on it's cover someday...SPEAK IT!)
Just saying.

On to the next.
A happier subject.

I watched Dear John last night...the movie...with Channing Tatum, oh my! And I actually don't like Nicholas Sparks movies (A Walk to Remember was ok...eh Mandy Moore. And The Notebook made me, a hopeless romantic gag!) But I found this one enjoyable. So, I've been riding with Channing since his role in She's The Man but we had a fight after Step Up and I didn't see Fighting. But anyway, my love for him grew exponentially after this movie. I think he did a great job...and here's why:

1. He's gorgeous (it's easier and faster to love a beautiful man)

2. He made me feel like I was the woman in the film. I don't even remember her that much, I mean I saw her but I really saw myself with him...he drew me in. That's what a great actor does.

3. His emotional connect with his opposite character (although not so much with his father, there was one scene where all I saw where inappropriate hands going every which way on his face and it made me uncomfortable). But the range of emotion that he had with his female co-star was truly inspiring.

4. It was the little things he did. Like the way he touched her hair and the forehead kisses that I remember this morning. Not necessarily everything that he said, but just the small things that a man does when he's in love with a woman. And it was evident in the way he touched her in the movie.

The young lady in the film did a good job, although her name escapes me right now...let me look it up. Amanda Seyfried, sorry girl, I hope people don't forget me too! That was awful! I will do better. Overall the film mad me happy and sad and emotional (no tears tho and it was full of tears) and I'm glad I've seen it. Doesn't make me want to buy it and I'm not sure that I want to watch it again, well maybe, but it was good.

Going to the screening of Children of God tonight to support my friend Stephen Tyrone www.stephentyrone.com. I'm uber excited!

Happy Thursday everyone!

  1. On the topic of "Slim Thugs comments to Essence re: Black Women". Even though most of his comments lack very much any merits and sounded like a man beyond low intelligence. The comment I think would have been remotely true was "It's hard to trust a Black woman [sometimes] because a lot of Black women's mind frame is that the man gotta do everything for her -- he gotta pay for this, he gotta pay for that..." In my opinion I think he is getting a bad rap from the backlash of said comments. By him specifying a particular ethnic group made this a false statement. He needed to Generalize the statement by saying “Its hard to trust most women” or even “Its hard to trust women in this Industry”. You cannot attack him for stating something like that because of women like Buffie Carruth A.K.A. Buffy the Body or Karrine Steffans A.K.A. Super Head. Women that he runs into on a daily bases that are there to see what they can get from him. It is a well known fact that when you’re a Pro Athlete or Raper you are not only a target for the media, law enforcement, but even from women that want to sleep with you for you to take care of them by getting pregnant but now by suing you if you sleep with them and not pay them off i.e Kobe Bryant, Ben Roethlessberger and The Duke Lacrosse Team. In conclusion if you have a negative opinion pertaining to a certain ethnic group or culture it is best kept to yourself i.e John Rocker then a member of the Atlanta Braves.
