Thanks J.Stokes!

this is a video one of my really close friends jasmine showed me one day that her cousin showed to her. it's really funny and believe it or not i find myself watching it sometimes to make me laugh or just lighten up my mood!

Lesson Learned : Forgiveness.

We had Chinese food last night for dinner. My mom gets it when she has to work that night and is too tired too cook. I love the fortune cookies. I don't know why, it's definitely not the taste that gets me. I guess it's just interesting to read the fortune inside. They're sometimes really funny or just coincidentally on point. Mine said: "A new friend helps you break out of an old routine." And sure enough, that's just what an old but kind of new friend has been helping me do. I am grateful for him caring and appreciate all his advice and being there to listen. He's helping me to understand that sooner or later this story I keep finding myself having to tell has to be put on the shelf sooner or later ... for good. And that its best for me to just pick up a new one ... and move on. I can't live my life based on empty promises. I have to let it go... and forgive. =)
LOL!. I was thinking just that when I read it. ; )

AT&T Sucks.

• touchscreen, check.
  
• qwerty keyboard, check.
  
• slider, check.
  
• GREEN!, heck yes.
  
• Mp3, check.
  
• in my hand? i wish.

at&t is majorly b.s'n right about now. I ordered this phone last month from the official AT&T website on the 20th and a week later got an e-mail saying it was out of stock. Messed up, right? Why would they let me order a phone that was out of stock? strangely enough it is STILL listed on the website as available. I was still told that it would be shipped to me when the item becomes available and here it is on the !17th! and I am still new-phoneless. We even called and wanted to cancel the order but was told that wasn't possible and that I would just have to wait until it ships... whenever that is! They don't even know. SMFH. Somethin' ain't right.

I saw "Precious" with my cousins last month during thanksgiving break. It was so real and touching and raw. You know I had to drop a tear or two.. or three... or THIRTY! Cuz I'm a waterhead lol. Anyway the story is about a 17 year old girl who has been sexually and physically aboused by her parents since she was a baby. Most scenes are very painful to watch but overall it was a very well produced and effective movie. It was effective in portaying Sapphires vision; the author of the book "Push" on which the movie is based. The end of the movie seemed to be a cliffhanger and I still had many questions about the character "Precious" and decided to read the book. I am still workin' on it and will tell you how it is, but so far it is very different from the movie concerning the characterization of the characters mostly. If you have a chance or are interested, you should definitely pick it up.

The most impressive part of this "experience" for me was the actress playing Precious Jones, Gabourey Sidibe. She is a 26 year old student from Harlem and has attended several colleges in New York. In interviews and in everyday life she is the complete opposite of her character, expectedly; after all, she is just playing a role. She is well spoken, confident and has a pretty, bubbly vibe. She has a glow. She has it. She also, surprsingly had had no acting experience prior to this movie. She was not a trained actor at the time of her audition and it wasn't her dream. She auditioned on a whim at the urging of her friends... and she got the role!
If Mo'nique deserves an award for playing her mother, Mary Jones in the movie, so does she. Sidibe had to take herself to a painful place that she had never known. She had to think negative thoughts about herself to psycologically prepare for the role. And she rocked it. She is an inspiration and I applaud her for her excellent performance as a rookie in her very first movie, "Precious". I hope and believe that she will win an award for this one. =)

Hurt me in the middle of December
Cuz by the time spring comes around, i won't remember
the cold
will numb me.
your love had spun me into a winter-wonderland
My name is Alice, take my hand
(he) squeezed it with malice then began,
to let
me go
Down into the rabbbit hole.
Couldn't see nothing but dark
Couldn't feel nothing but cold; his heart.
only the warm, art of spring's masterpiece
could tame me, my heart
and in the awe of its beauty,

. . .

I can't remember your name.
