this pisses me off

I guess I’m really irritated because on the first of the month I can go to the wharf here in DC and see tons of people who contribute NOTHING to this country, who don’t even WANT to get a job,  using food stamps to purchase  expensive seafood while men and women who fight for our freedom are given a bunch of nonsense when trying to seek the assistance that they have more than earned. I can’t stand stories like this.

Read this.

i’ve been to the movies three times over the past two weeks. i feel like i’m playing catch up since prior to now, its been AGES since i’ve been to the movies. A brief recap of my selections.

I am a fan of horror films. I’m even a fan of the movies that try to market excessive gore as horror films ( the rest of the Saw franchise, Hostel, etc). This movie SUCKED. It wasn’t scary. It wasn’t gory. ( Seriously, even the autopsy scene at the beginning was boring. The only thing slightly amusing was the fact that the cameraman felt the need to pan in to the coroner’s table by way of jigsaw’s splayed legs so that we got a full view of his recently deceased old man body parts. I reallly hope they end the franchise now. It was embarassing how bad this movie was.

Do y’all know that at this point in my life I would pay about $20 to sit in a theatre and watch Denzel just walk across the screen for two hours? I mean literally. He could walk back and forth and not say word one and I’d go see it about 5 times. I.LOVE.THIS.MAN.  Seriously, have you seen him walk? Like my girl Creole would say, that stride is stank as hell. OMG. Hell, now I’m distracted and I can’t even remember the dang movie….oh yea. This movie was every bit as good as folks say it is. Every bit times two. Most two plus hour movies are very laborious and you are extremely conscious of how much time you’re spending just sitting on your azz watching the screen. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed when it was all said and done. Hell, I was sad to see it end. I am dead set against drugs and everyone involved in that whole little underworld, but I found myself rooting for Frank throughout the movie. Russell Crowe was awesome as usual. This brother here, who I personally think has one of the sexiest set of lips ever, is an INCREDIBLE actor and I’m really glad that he’s getting the exposure he is. The casting was great ( man, TI is tiny as HELL!!!) the story was compelling and I cannot wait to add this to my DVD collection.

and last night, I saw THIS:

OMG. First of all I loove vampire movies. I LOOOVE them. Typically, vampires in Hollywood are glamorized. They are all beautiful, slinking around being sexy, rich, and seemingly bored with their whole existence.  This movie, HERE? Nah. Ain’t ISH sexy about this movie but Josh Hartnett and even he was a little shaky in this one. How unsexy is it? the movie takes place in Alaska, in a small town where the sun doesn’t shine for 30 days straight. I was uncomfortable from jump seeing as how I just don’t do cold, don’t do snow and this movie was over my comfort level in both departments. Once the action got started though…I have to say, its one of the better recent vampire flicks I’ve seen. I really liked it. Josh Hartnett is really coming into his own. His intensity level reminds me of a young Tommy Lee Jones. I really like him and his film choices are always interesting. He did an awesome job in this one. If you’re ok with a LOT of gore, try to check this one out. Its definitely worth it.

the randomness of it all

 

* i was behind an elderly lady in Trader Joe’s yesterday.Chick behind the cash register was giving her dirty looks, as to say “o god not her”. before i even got a chance to be offended on behalf of this sweet little lady, I glanced in her cart. It was OVERFLOWING. She started talking to the cashier and said ” i only got 72 (seventy two) cans of tuna, I think you’re out. I’m going to need you to count them to make sure you charge me the correct amount because you didn’t last time. can you send someone back to see if you have anymore? and this can…see..its dented…i want this one free”. a HOT MESS.

* i’m SO EXCITED ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS!! its been a rough year for me and i’m looking forward to a little peace and a lot of love this holiday season. can’t wait to pick out my tree, can’t wait to decorate.. WHEEE!

*even though i complain ALL the time about my job, i finally got a little recognition last week in the form of an appreciation award. it came with a little cash bonus that i must say is RIGHT ON TIME. feeling appreciated makes it easier to get up every morning, i gotta tell you.

* i do believe in second chances. thats all i have to say about that.

*i LOVE LOVE LOVE my friends. I love my friends so much I even love their ignant imaginary friends. how bout that??

I am a fan of old music. My Pandora stations has artists like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Nancy Wilson, and Lena Horne and this is the music I generally listen to during the day at work. I have added a new favorite station to this list. I love this girl’s voice! It took me a minute to catch on but her voice has that same flava of the old school divas that I could listen to all day long. I have to remember to download this album the second I get home.

omg

i hate hate hate their dance instructor!!!!!!!!
