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!
