i watched the movie for the first time tonite, i think it may be my new favorite movie (well let me not get ahead of myself, among the favorites). i looked up the word atonement because i always like to make up what i think words mean based on how it feels to me.
i love the movie because of its silence. in the moments where things werent being said i could still feel the message of the movie. the silence was inspiring. i wonder if there could ever be a black film that was just beautiful all the way through. im sure there are movies people will think have already accomplished that, and there maybe some. but off the top of my head i cant think of one. i would say that Josephine Baker's Story had that appeal for me, but its been awhile since i watched the film.
the film was beautiful to say the least, not totally the story i expected.

Tour

i didnt want to write about my weekend since it looks as if i have posted a lot of words lately with the absence of my computer. so here goes.



i went to my high school football game on friday..i havent been there in four years! Since i left school they decided to remodel...and all of sudden they have this new building.




friends of the family were there for the opposing team MLK. but my high school won in the end. I would have to agree with MLK we did cheat. and i will have to say, MLK won for the most support and chants of any fans i have seen. they were ready to fight after the game was over.



then saturday i had a day full of plans



kirbs and i headed to peters st. to have a little lunch at 255.




i called myself taking a picture of us...but i kinda dig it.


it worked out better with someone else doing it, i guess





then we headed over to a bridal shower for a friend Sherry's cousin (mouth full)). and they had the cutest little cocktails.





i ended the night at 300 without a single picture of us bowling; thats because all the girls met up there and not a single one us put on those silly bowling shoes.


that concludes this tour. i hope it was(nt) too long, but provided enough details. the football game provided my weekend with the most unexpectant fun. i ran into a person that is to remain unmentioned...but deserved to be mentioned. because since that run in my mind has done all sorts of unmentionable things to this unmentionable person. and i will stop right here.

**toodles. oodles. and noodles.

*it was later mentioned to me that everywhere i went on saturday involved numbers. I began the day at 225 on peters st., the bridal shower at the twelve, and ended the night at 300 bowling alley...hmmm?

Why

.
Why do people always tell me:
“I bet you can eat anything you want to”.

Last time I checked just about everyone could eat whatever they wanted to, and how am I suppose to respond to that question?
Today I actually had a man say that to me, and it totally took be aback, I mean women say that to me all the time, but never men.
So I reply to him,
“are you jealous, or something”

and he responds back,
“Nah, because when I take you shopping you will look nice in everything.”

All I could do was laugh…

And why do people always say to me:
“you are so little, like you are so skinny. You are like the littlest thing in the building.”

And what the heck am I suppose to say to that. Especially when the people saying this are nowhere as small as I am…
I don’t get to walk around and say:
“You are fat as hell, omg you are so big. How come you are so big?”

Nor do I even think that’s appropriate to say to anyone, and I never even have those thoughts. If I cant say that to you, don’t say it to me.
At one point when I was a lot younger I had a problem being so skinny, and I actually wanted to be a lot bigger. So whenever someone pointed this out it made me very uncomfortable. I have gotten over that, and I am comfortable in my own skin..but I still don’t need the commentary about my body. Physical appearances really really aren’t that serious to me..so I hope this doesn’t come off as being condescending.

I also understand that what people say have more to do with their feelings, than it does with me as a person. I just had to vent. Thanks for the outlet.

Let's Give Her A Handclap

Sarah Palin DELIVERED a good speech. BUT it was not the speech she needed to be giving.

For one the speech didnt have much validity to it...the attacks she made don't and won't hold up outside of that venue in which she was speaking in last night. She was speaking directly to the Republicans in that building, and if you arent a Republican I think her speech left much to be desired. She tried to attack Obama by saying he hasnt written any reforms while in the Senate. Totally not true. He has worked in ethics reforms; the same thing she has claimed to have done, but happened to not share any of those reforms she put in place. The night was suppose to be about her has VP, not about Obama. They have until November to attack Obama. I think she failed.
This is someone whose name I have never heard before last week, so I need to know who you are and what platform you stand upon. I need to know what you are gonna do for this country as the vice president, and potentially the president. Let's face it John McCain isnt the healthiest or youngest chip off the block.
For this to be one of her first moments with the public she had a very negative tone to her speech. So the whole time im watching her like where are you coming from with all of this, you have so much anger for someone who just started in the race a week ago.

So with that being said good job Sarah Palin, but good enough . Try again.

i dont want to get long winded on this, so ill just end here. <<Watch for yourself>>.



**or maybe it should be a slap.

i can paint when i wanna

since my only faithful lover (the lap-top) went out on me...time has to be spent else where.
