In High school I would call my friends on a daily and just talk for hours. I think that's a contributing factor that explains why we're so close now. We talked about nothing and everything, all that is important to a teenage girl. We talked about boyfriends or lack there of, sex, people at school who were awful and so on. Some of the best times of my life were spent on the phone. I fell asleep on the phone many times wit my friends, met boyfriends on the phone (I know, don't remind me). My life was centered around it and that life was good.

Our pranks are still hilarious today and still notorious amongst us. At the time we didn't all have computers or internet (dial up = BOOOOO!) And so our main means of communication was through the phone. To this day was still yack it up on the phone any chance we get that's what we grew up on, what we are most comfortable using. So spending sometime talking to my friend talking about nothing really brings me back to the days we would have a 6 person conference and everybody talking at once.

'Ok so u call me then hang up and ill call u, then u call A and let A call B I will conference C...Go!'

Wow am I old. Lol. I kinda miss it but we had to grow up sometime right? Restricted phone access was fine by me because as you get older there will come a time when you need your own space. When you've fleshed out who you are behind that mouthpiece is when you end the call and hang up the phone.

Not more than myself just all of me

Thanks so much for the feedback guys...Axela and Irrek *LOVE* *LOVE*

Writing in this blog is such a process though. Sometimes things come to me and sometimes they don't. I try to write when something hits me and when it's at the fore front of my mind so that I can immerse myself and just continue writing without stop or fail.I never censor the things I say...Ok sometimes I do but very few times and only because I don't want to hurt anyone. So mostly all you see is me. Me being random, me being quirky and weird and unhappy and ecstatic. Not more than myself just all of me.

LOLz!

Funny story. At my first Christmas party at my workplace I went with my friend Akimat. Fun right? I was new so I knew only a few people from work so I spent most of the time with my friend just walking around laughing and getting drunk. Good Times. Sometime during the night though a young man from work, i think he was walking with his girlfriend, I don't know my glasses were foggy, came up to me said 'Hi', so I say 'Hi' back but not knowing him real well my friend and I kinda slink off to the food because damn were we hungry. I asked my friend if it was rude for us to just walk away like that without saying anything because he did look poised to say something just before we left she laughed and said she didn't care and to bring on the mojitos. Again..Good Times!!

Whats funny about this is he obviously took it as a snub because in the days following the party when I saw him at work I said 'Good Morning/Afternoon/Shower' and this nigga turned his back and said shit aka nothing. At the time I LOLd like a mofo and told Akimat who did the same. It's been almost a year and a half and everytime I see him I extend greetings (not because I want this nut bucket to like me but because you never know who's packing an uzi and just may spare your life because of a good morning) and this nigga still snubs. To this day it gives me the Lolz...Oh Snubbed you make my damn day. I sat beside him today thats why I remember.

I know I've been delinquent on this blog I love so but something's messed up on the BBerry that's not allowing me to post what and when i need to. I have written a couple things that i think I'm going to post.

So when she mentioned that her husband would die for her and how cute he was I started thinking DAMN when can I get me some of that? Everyday I think about
what my experiences would be like if there were someone with whom I could share some semblance of a realness with. I'm so closed off I'm trying hard not to
panic daily. I'm very optimistic about my life and the things I want to do with
it. I keep saying it'll happen and I truly believe it. Maybe that's all I
need,that belief. I believe.

A lady said something to me at work and that's how what she said developed in my mind. I had to write it down.

I knew at the time that what he wanted wasn't to talk to me about school, being
as young as I was it should have been, but it wouldn't have been about that and
I wasn't fucking stupid and at the time maybe that's what I wanted most. I just
wanted him to see me and not cringe possibly make me feel as if I were wanted at least that one time but I chickened out because I knew I was too young, too
everything wasn't ready and I know I wasn't because it was so easy for me to
leave I just made one of my all time favorite impulsive decisions. I wondered if
he even cared that I'd left I didn't get a call until I'd reached home. I laugh
now thinking about him running around searching for my big ass.

I wrote the above remembering when I was 14 years old and going to meet my 'boyfriend' who at that time was 20 years old. Oh the young and stupid.

Eric Jerome Dickey always makes you think, even when you search for the easy way out what you get is a way out. No map, no GPS. Just a way out and its a choice you have whether you want to take that out or just see it as a lost caused. On a few occasions I've taken the way he's shown. I've not always liked the
destination but the journey has always been worth it. This book gave me a hard
hit to the arm, it jarred me but I was still standing, other books have left me
flat on my ass wishing I'd never laid eyes on it. I'm happy I read it because I
can now cross it from my list. I liked Billie but my fave was Destiny because
she was so tragic and typical human in me I steer towards the tragic. The plots
were too tidy, the entwining of the characters hurt the plot for me and again
the most developed of the characters was the 15 year old. More dynamic than the others, Billie was too nice, I mean WTF is keeping you with this dog ass nigga? It can't be love that's bullshit. I don't get passion, don't get any part of it
and so I can't understand women like Billie or Livvy or any of the characters in
Between Lovers I'm always thinking that the shit can be solved in a logical
fashion but everybody's just thinking 'fuck logic'. I can't process it. I need
some heartache. For educational purposes of course.

I wrote the above after reading 'Chasing Destiny' by Eric Jerome Dickey...need I say more?

I tried to take a breath,
the air wasn't clear,
breathless,
or so it seemed,
that's how you left me,
my
falsetto flattened,
my soprano stalled,
breathless,
my mind a blank I could only stare,
I wondered if we'd
fit,
you were so big,
anatomically,
personality,
grandeur,
beauty,
breathless,
dreaming you saw the same qualities
of shared realities in me,
as breathless as I,
dreaming as I.

No idea who the above poem is for but I guess I was feeling someone.

A
Bear

Down
Everest
Frowning
'Go'
He

Jostling
Kicking,

This poem was written in my "I'm crazy and idle" phase but it's one of my favorites

Again thanks so much for visiting, reading whatevering. I do have a treat for you ladies and some gents... !!Hot Guy of this Day!! Today's treat is Columbus Short, Hot Guy of September 19, 1982...

Columbus - The boy's name Columbus \c(o)-lu-mbus\. Variant of the Latin word meaning "dove". Made famous by Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who discovered America.

Weekend!

Had a great weekend in Ocho Rios where I swam for the first time in years. I forgot how amazing it is to just submerge yourself in water or to swim across a pool and feel weightelss. One of the better weekends of my life and it was shockingly not as expensive as I would have originally thought. I stayed at this great place called Chrisanns Beach Resort. The room was amazing and inexpensive and it was just truly a great weekend. VAAJ strikes again.

Tied

I've spoken about my love/hate relationship with my workplace. Today is another day that exacerbates the hate part of that relationship. I'm tired of these people making decisions for me. As someone rightly said, during the training session I'm currently doing, they decide when I piss, when I eat lunch if I'm sick enough to home... They run my life. Sure work isn't usually a pleasurable experience and certainly I need the fucking money if I don't want to live on the street but to have to make the decision to either have my head explode while at work due to a migraine or to sleep on the street seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me and that was not in the job description.

I am a slave working to support massa and his overseers. I do a shitload of work everyday, I come in on time, I leave after the time they've dictated and yet I still get minimum. Minimum benefits, minimum pay, minimum social life. Do you know how it feels to be tethered? I am tied to an instrument that hurts my jaw, my ear and my brain. I do that almost everyday and I have one choice either to experience that pain or sleep in the streets. HA! Essentially I have no choice at all.

There've been times in my life when I've seen someone and wanted to go up to them invite them out and actually return their calls if they do call. I never do though. I'm always disappointed in myself and always leave the situation feeling unhappy. I do have to tendency to be the shrinking violet but that is the persona that fits me and feels good for me. I am not the one who will be shouting across the room, or being the center of attention. I'm never that person and I don't want to be that person. I just want to be able to approach someone without fear of being belittled or coming away feeling less than myself. I don't really have a fear of rejection, that comes with the territory of putting yourself out there but I fear people making fun of me, chewing up and spitting in my face. I've had too much of that happen already.

It really all boils down to being rejected though doesn't it? So reading above you can see I'm wrong. I don't want for someone else to tell me I'm not wanted. I don't want them to reject me because I think I've felt so much rejection already. I don't want to die but I feel like I'm struggling to live... I've heard that somewhere before can't remember where but right now its really a true reflection of where my life is. Antwone Fisher's got me fucked up.

P.P. - I was not in a good place when I wrote this. In my heart I feel like there is so much to live for but sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of the ocean treading water by myself. 'Why continue?' I ask myself buyt then theres an answer 'Because land is just ahead, gotta keep your head up...even though the road is hard don't give up' and I continue. As we should all continue. I continue.

Yes Yeast Yes...

Soooooo... I had a yeast infection a few months ago. Worst experience of my life (that' saying much right?) At first I had no idea what was wrong with me down there and I really don't have that type of relationship with my mother to discuss it. I didnt really want to tell my friends so I just let it continue. It hurt so much and I have no idea what I was thinking when I let it continue for about a month and a half before finally going to the doctor. I never want to go through that again. I also don't want anyone else to go through that experience or to let it continue for lengthy periods after it starts.

WHAT IS A YEAST INFECTION? - Yeast is a type of fungus. Yeast infections are caused by overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans. Small amounts of yeast are always in the vagina. But when too much yeast grows, you can get an infection.Yeast infections are very common. About 75 percent of women have one during their lives. And almost half of women have two or more vaginal yeast infections. (Source)

Candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection (mycosis) of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most common. (Source) Candida albicans is a fungus (a form of yeast), which is capable of sexual reproduction. (Source)

SYMPTOMS - Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge, often with a curd-like appearance. Many women mistake the symptoms of the more common bacterial vaginosis for a yeast infection. In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self-treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection, while most had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection instead. (Source)

In men (yes men too), symptoms include red patchy sores near the head of the penis or on the foreskin, severe itching, and/or a burning sensation. Candidiasis of the penis can also have a white discharge, although uncommon. However, having no symptoms at all is common, and usually, a more severe form of the symptoms may emerge later (don't I know it) (Source)

The most common symptom of a yeast infection is extreme itchiness in and around the vagina. Other symptoms include:
burning, redness, and swelling of the vagina and the vulva
pain when passing urine
pain during sex
soreness
a thick, white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese and does not have a bad smell
a rash on the vagina
You may only have a few of these symptoms. They may be mild or severe. (Source)

CAUSES - Pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives have been reported as risk factors, while the roles of engaging in vaginal sex immediately and without cleansing after anal sex and using lubricants containing glycerin remain controversial. Diabetes mellitus and the use of antibiotics are also linked to an increased incidence of yeast infections. Diet has been found to be the cause in some animals. (Source)

Antibiotic and steroid use are the most common reason for yeast overgrowth. The former kills the bacteria which would otherwise help maintain Candida at safe levels, thus allowing the fungus to overgrow. (Source)

In penile candidiasis, the causes include sexual intercourse with an infected party, low immunity, antibiotics, and diabetes. Male genital yeast infection is less common, and the risk of getting it is only a fraction of that in women; however, yeast infection on the penis from direct contact via sexual intercourse with an infected partner is not uncommon. (Source)

Many things can raise your risk of a vaginal yeast infection, such as:

• stress


• lack of sleep


• illness


• poor eating habits, including eating extreme amounts of sugary foods


• pregnancy


• having your period


• taking certain medicines, including birth control pills, antibiotics, and steroids


• diseases such as poorly controlled diabetes and HIV/AIDS


• hormonal changes during your periods (Source)

TREATMENTS - Yeast infections can be cured with antifungal medicines that come as:

• creams


• tablets


• ointments or suppositories that are inserted into the vagina

These products can be bought over the counter at the drug store or grocery store. Your doctor can also prescribe you a single dose of oral fluconazole (floo-con-uh-zohl). But do not use this drug if you are pregnant.
Infections that don’t respond to these medicines are starting to be more common. Using antifungal medicines when you don't really have a yeast infection can raise your risk of getting a hard-to-treat infection in the future. (Source)

PREVENTION -

• Consider taking a daily supplement designed to help prevent the recurrence of a yeast infection


• Keep you vaginal area clean, being sure to wash the area when you shower


• After a shower or bath, make sure your vaginal area is completely dry before getting dressed


• Wear cotton underpants and pantyhose with a cotton crotch


• After using the toilet, always wipe from front to back


• Avoid sharing towels and washcloths


• Wash your under garments in hot water and skip the fabric softener in the dryer


• Avoid clothing that is tight in the crotch


• Always change out of your exercise clothes or swimsuit immediately after working out or swimming


• Change your sanitary pads or tampons frequently and avoid using ones that are scented


• Avoid using heavily scented soaps, perfumes and talcum powder


• Avoid douching


• Use antibiotics only when necessary


• Eat a diet high in vegetables, protein and grains as well as consuming yogurt that has live acidophilus bacteria; avoid processed foods, sugars and alcohol


• Always use a water soluble lubricating gel during sex


• Consider using a condom if you are having sex and have a yeast infection


• Make sure your vagina is well lubricated during sex; avoid sex if it feels painful


• If you are experiencing chronic yeast infections and are using hormonal contraceptives, like the birth control pill, consider changing your birth control method (Source)

P.P. - I will be doing more regular post now since my BB is now fully functional. Thanks for anyone (KP!) who's asked me to continue. I love this blog and anyone who reads my posts or just wants to see what it's about and visits I thank you. Feel free to leave a comment good, bad or indifferent.

The 51st Annual Grammy Awards

The Grammys were very boring this year...The actual show I mean. The best part of the whole show was cutting the fuck up getting twitter updates from people like DurtyMo, KidFury, Freshalina, DomCorleone and trentvanegas. Funniest thing I have ever experienced. I was laughing out loud the entire time. The Grammys sucked though but Congrats to the winners. (BURNING SPEAR!) M.I.A. was just amazingly hilarious, Swagger like us was nice, as was the Radiohead performance, The Four Tops tribute was nice... That's about it for the Grammys.

Now the Chrihanna drama???? That fair made my entire night, my entire weekend. I just didn't see that shit coming, it was totally from left field. I would have never thought that Chris Brown was a lady beater. I mean he has this baby face, laid back, mellow attitude thing but I guess hate comes in all shapes and sizes. I just could not and still can not believe it. Wow! For updates Young, Black and Fabulous always has very good and thorough reports. Natasha's gossip is always on point. Crazy!!!

Lackluster

Decided to do a reviews of some Movies I Saw Last Week because well the need came over me and I am always about satisfying my id.

Sicko - Michael Moore at is best at America bashing. To be fair he has said in the past that he loves America and sue me I believe him. I understand, I get it. America needs work and as it's citizens of a world power he attempts to make you aware of those issues so that both he and you can be better, live better make America better. As is usual his monotone voice is perfect narration for the documentary. I have only seen 'Bowling for Columbine' which is one of my personal favorite films of all time so I may not be as tainted as others would seem to be who have seen his Palme d'Or winning 'Fahrenheit 9/11'. I like his film making style he often times comes off very self righteous and arrogant but I guess so do alot of other directors, actors, sound mixers...8/10

The Great Debaters - Compelling performances from the two male and single female leads. Complex characters that were played well and kept my attention throughout the movie. Standard performance from Forrest Whitaker, though as with many actors there is a thread of himself that is left within each of his characters which sometimes unfortunately ties them together i.e. see one see them all. Denzel Washington also plays a role, though his character gets lost within the movie, maybe this was deliberate, maybe not. After all the movie is not about his character, though he has an influence over the three young characters who shine throughout the movie. The real star of this film is the story, the fact that the movie is based on a true story is what keeps you enthralled. The speeches were inspiring and my personal fave part of the entire movie. Overall not a bad movie but not great either, each cast member brought something to their role but the movie lacked overall cast unity. Excellent points about the movie are the editing, cinematography and score. 7/10

The Lake House - Love the story. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves were a nice energy on screen but the chemistry was lacking which may be due to my subjectivity. 'Speed' was uppermost in my mind as I watched, though two completely different movies I was hoping that the fire they had in their previous on screen venture would translate. It didn't. Again two different movies so you can't expect the same, shame on me for doing so. 6/10

P.P - When it seems like you're about to have a good day somebody always comes along and fucks you up. It's a lie when people say that what others say and do don't affect you even if it is infinitesimal affect you are affected. So, this bitch, comes in and does nothing but put her bag on the desk where I'm sitting. So I'm thinking you know good manners dictates that you say something whether 'I have to sit here' or 'I've been sitting here all along' but this bitch says nothing to me. So I ask 'Are you sitting here?' the bitch says 'Yes' in the most condescending tone as if I wash her nasty draws each day because I need money. In my mind I'm thinking 'So why the fuck didn't you say so?' I have no issues in moving, I really don't give a fuck where I sit in this place but I can't stand people who bitch for the sake of bitching. Bitch. Bitch also has a kid who judging by what I've seen is a bitch in the making. Bitch 2k16. Bitch.

I am going to sound so biased but since it's my blog I can do whatever the hell i want...Right?



OK so as you should know by now I have a very large, LARGE rack. A beautifully large rack that hurts my back most times I would love a reduction but whatever maybe if I lose some weight...Rambling...So I'm looking around and I witness some very small breasts on some lovely women. Non existent really and I think 'Wow I do not want.' I know there are men who prefer both ends of the spectrum and all that's in between but when I look on it if I were a guy I'd definitely be after the larger busted women. I just don't see the appeal of a small busted woman. Most of my friends are curvy with sizeable boobs that are usually displayed to their busty goodness. Of course my perception and taste is skewed by where I grew up, who I saw as I grew up and who and how I am. I still don't see it.



I'm such a judgemental bitch too it's hilarious.

I realized just now how much I really like white men. I mean like them, like them. I like them grungy, muscle-filled, rocker, comedian. I mean I've always known that I have a fondness for the pale skins of our population. I am an equal opportunist though, there's no race on earth that I wouldn't jump on. Watching the gorgeous man of Greek descent on NTV's 'The Hour' and thinking how much I would love to scream his name (George Stroumboulopoulos!) has solidified for me how deep my feelings have become. Its not all white men that I like but I've spotted some that I would happily make my own.

There will be someone who will of course say that I'm disillusioned and of course they will bring up memories of an atrocities done to my people and I just want them to stop turn around and go away. I will never forget where I came from but I would never let that stop me from embracing the future. I love the black in me, every brown tone that my skin possesses and I love black men but I do not have to rationalize my love of men from other races to anyone. You be you as i will undoubtedly be me.

Resolved

I read alot of blogs and have my fave bloggers and bloggers I can't stand and so on and so forth. The new year of course has them listing what songs, albums, TV shows etc were "great" in 2008 but all that shit is just subjective. I mean I'm certain there's a blogger out there writing that "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" was the best movie of the year...with a straight face. If you are astute you'll realize that what I just said was exactly the subjectivity I am speaking about. I never even saw "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" nor will I see the "Tale of Desperaux" Akimat... But I can tell you Movie of the year it is not.

I used to think people were crazy for listing some of the shit (literally) they would when making these crazy lists. Just thinking about someone listing Britney Spears' "Circus" as the best album of the year would burn me up (I mean I like "Womanizer" but gag me with a fucking spoon). Crap is crap is crap.

I have no lists. I liked 2008 it was an OK year. I got a new phone, and cable, a new life really when we moved. It was as it always is another year. Soon forgotten except of course on Vh1's 1 Love the... series. I'm looking forward to 2009 and I'm looking forward to really getting through my Changeling list. I hate making new years resolutions because by February I've either forgotten or don't care anymore. I'm trying to make life resolutions. Things that endure through the years that can make me better. I hope I can get a few people to go along with me.

Now onto Movies I Saw Last Week...

The Princess and the Warrior - International film starring Franka Potente...One of my fave international actresses (you must see Run Lola Run, The Bourne Identity). This movie was...I really have no words. I liked it but the plot sometimes escaped me and I was lost sometimes. Benno Fürmann, the male lead was gorgeous and brooding which is always good. I wanted them to succeed I really wanted them to be happy. I guess the twists and turns are merely apart of what make it good. 8/10


Shoot 'em up - I was so surprised by this movie that I had to watch it twice before really processing that it was amazing. It was action packed, well played, well shot. The story was completely left field and worked so well but if it had not been this set of actors it would have been a complete disaster. It was borderline greatness and crap and craftily made great because it was done so well. The pieces really fell into the correct place. 9/10


Blood and Chocolate - OK I see what they were trying to do. I get it, but the execution was poor. Saving grace? Olivier Martinez smoking up the screen. Yessir. The blood and chocolate references seemed to fly right over my head, I only really got it when I watched it a second time. 4/10

Pride & Prejudice - Usually Keira Knightley gets on my nerves but shockingly I liked her character and how she portrayed her. I mean as an adaptation of a book it wasn't that bad. It had some funnies and the plot was predictable but sweet. 6.5/10

Make It Happen - OK I know no one is going to know about this movie, it's very similar to Step Up, Save the Last Dance... If you've seen one you've basically seen them all. So girl who can "dance" leaves small town to make it "BIG" fails then makes thrilling comeback of course love interest and disapproving family drama (using word loosely) ensue. *sigh* 4/10

Mutant Chronicles - I'm a fan of Mutants and the like, I'm fascinated by the paranormal. This movies screams low budget but I kinda liked the story. I liked the plot and it wasn't badly executed by the crazy cast. Thomas Jane was just a big plus. 6.5/10

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - It's Harry. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the cinematography of this movie. Loved the way it was portrayed, it was dark, it was funny it was good. I really wanted to box Harry's ears for being such an asshole which was exactly how the book portrayed him. Daniel Radcliffe did a really nice job. Helena Bonham Carter was created for these roles. She is Bellatrix Lestrange. The room of requirement scenes are my fave because we see them as students which the other movies somehow played down. It was a beautiful movie to look at. The movies all seem like a series which of course they are but it always feels like we are suspended in mid air when they end. Anticipating the final movies with bated breath. 8/10

Get Smart - OK. If you say so. It was OK sometimes funny, most times not. I get that he's inefficient but it was very "Mr. Bean" you know when it stopped being funny (Mr Bean movie anyone?) and started to get creepy. Meh... 5/10

Jumper - As seen above I'm a big fan of paranormal science and I loved the premise of this movie but Hayden Christensen bored me to tears. Jamie Bell was much more interesting (and much, much HOTTER) than the stick in the mud. Samuel L. Jackson was his continued crazy self. Clearly with that Diane Lane (Bore) ending there are plans for a Jumper 2. 7/10

1408 - I loved the book and the movie was a pretty good interpretation of it. I felt a little detached from the main character though. I felt terrified when reading the book, terrified for him, for me... terrified. The movies flowed and it was coherent, you can understand what's going on. Which doesn't necessarily happen with most book to film adaptations. 7/10

Jurassic Park - Yes it is my first time watching this movie. I have seen Jurassic Park 3 about a million times but have not seen the first movie. Funny right? So I though it was awesome and can only imagine watching it for the first time when it was first created. CGI has spoiled so many old movies but I tried to think as objectively as possible. The plot was superb and Jeff Goldblum as usual was sexy eccentricity. 8/10

In Bruges - Very engaging. Totally hilarious. Colin Farell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes are genius. The characters a re well developed, the plot was interesting. I instinctively knew what was going to happen though, without reading any spoilers or anything and i prolly would have loved some mystery and suspense but it didn't take much from the movie. 8/10

This is one of the most time consuming posts I've ever done...

Random Thought - I want to be a photographer... so anyone who can help me that would be great. I'm serious...or as serious as I can be.

Happy New Year!

Simply have great year. Live, love and laugh!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

The Hills Are Alive

I first saw "The Sound of Music" when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I was enthralled, the music, the love story, the underlying story of patriotism and pride. I was hooked. Every Christmas until I was about 15 years old I would watch the movie. I was in heaven, along with eating food and spending time with my Mom I was so excited about the movie that I would become euphoric. My Mom would leave me alone for the entire 3 or so hours and not ask me to do anything or lift a finger because she knew it was so important to me... The reason I stopped watching at 15 is because they stopped airing it on TV. I was so sad, seriously... Expecting it to show but having it not was the start of my depression era. It's crazy to think that a movie would be so powerful...but it was and still is today at least to me.

I'm reminded because I watched it last night for the first time in about 2 years. I kept alternating between that and "The Notebook" (which I LOVE!) It was like having a movie orgasm. I swear I was floating. what is clear to me is that I know that everyone has their own mix of movies that mean the world to them that they would stop everything and watch even if they've seen it a thousand times before.

There are a few others that I could add to my own list, in fact when I found the Flixster website I made a list of my fave movies. The list has grown to about 70 or 80 movies but only about 30 of those are my absolute FAVORITES. We all have them whether it be a song or a movie or whatever. Something that makes us happy, maybe because it was introduced at an age where you are most impressionable and just the magic of whatever it is makes us believe in ourselves and what we can do.

C'EST NOEL!

Does anyone remember a Christmas ad from a few years ago where kids were singing Merry Christmas in French and English?? That was the best ad ever..."It's Christmas, C'est Noel!" I loved it. *sigh*

Merry Christmas to all and to all live, laugh and love!!!!

"The Incredibles" is one of the greatest movies ever made. So funny and cute just never get tired of it. "Shoot 'em up" with Clive Owen is also great. Go watch one of these great movies if you have the choice.

Circle of Friends

My friends are the most amazing people I know. I love them to death and this is the sole reason that I put up with their, at best, quirky, at worst, freakishly queer behavior. The thing is though I can be described the same way. I love that they're witty and smart and seriously they're all gorgeous (I, unfortch for me, is the designated ugly friend). I want in a boyfriend what I see in my friends. They're great people and I wouldn't have them any other way.

Sometimes I will admit I can be mucho annoying. Seriously annoying. So is everyone at some point in time. I am happy that I have people who know me, know what I'm about and accept that. Not to say there aren't problems between us sometimes because we have them. We are still young and that youth often times shows through 9not in a good way either). We hurt each other sometimes and we are sometimes very guarded with each other but usually we can see through the bullshit and aren't afraid of calling each other on it.

I can't imagine my life without them and I want to thank I.C.H.S. for giving me one of the greatest experiences of my life. I spent seven long (hard ass) years there and though it wasn't all hunky dory I would do it all over in a second because of the people I met, the stronger persona I developed and the book (and life) learning I received.

So to all those past and present who I will forever and always call friends and even family, I love you and I want to thank you for being you.
