Black Friday is the WORST DAY IN HISTORY!!!

I went to some stores on “African American” Friday (Black Friday-the day after Thanksgiving) and boy was it a hot mess up in them stores. It as like a U2 or Ludacris concert. Better yet, it was like when I went to go see a movie last week and all the people waiting was for New Moon” and I could not squeeze in anywhere! Exactly like that and I saw iPod’s for like $145 no matter what the size was, Plasma TV’s on sale, etc. Some things were like $1, $100, or a little bit off-not dramatically lowered price though! I had to hit up the DVD section-I got some Law and Order: SVU DVD’s for cheap! Yay! I was too excited! I already have an iPod, and the AT&T store had iPhone’s for $99 and the new iPhones for $199. Sales! Sales! Sales! FYI: It is called Black Friday because it is death how people will do anything for the sales and doors open at certain stores from Midnight to 4AM…

Thanksgiving '09

All in all, today went well. I deviated form the norm and did NOT cook a Butterball Turkey! Lol...I made some BBQ Ribs, beef friend rice,and potato salad. It was only me and my Father so why go through the trouble and prepare all that food when it was just the two of us. The food came out excellent and we enjoyed it all! Our friend, Don came over and ate with us and watched the game and that was about it. I had a 'lil moment when I went to the store-I heard the Christmas music playing and I started thinking about 2 of my Aunts who passed away this year and began to cray a little bit. I felt embarrassed but I missed them and I guess with the holidays fast approaching, the music and that just triggered me to get all emotional and stuff. I am better now, but still wish that they were alive!

"Precious Night"

Lester, Shawn, Matt, and myself went to see the movie, "Precious." It was the following: Intense. Electrifying. Radical. Definitely real. These are the key words that describe this film. I went in there expecting to shed some tears and get my heart hurt by this particular film, but it did NOT affect me in the ways that I anticipated that it would. I mean, Mo'Nique really did play her role and it is a shame that some parents talk and treat their kids in the fashion that she treated Precious. I did not read the book at all, but the ending could have been a lot better. It did not divulge what ever happened to Precious nor her mother like what most films do if it is a true story or an intense film such as this one. I really identified with this film because I saw this exact behavior when I was growing up. Not hardcore as hitting children in the head and saying harsh things, but along the same lines. You MUST AND NEED to be a strong individual to adapt to this film! If you had a rough childhood and you think that you can cope and deal with the abuse and language in this film, I say go ahead and re-live the trauma if you are strong and it will not affect you, if you are a Sociology/Psychology graduate or major-don't try to view it from a sociological or psychological standpoint, it will not work!

"The Blind Side" Premiere

This was a really good movie & I enjoyed it a lot....Sandra Bullock was down here in New Orleans having to promote the film and I missed her! That sux! I love movies that are based on true stories. This movie really touched me. It is everything that movie critics and everyone is saying about it! Truly wonderful and heart felt. A movie for the entire family to watch. It inspires!! Sandra Bullock really outdid herself in this film! I loved it and woudl get it on bootleg it was so good and I do NOT say that too often about certain films! But when it is good! It's good!

Hotel Day! Holiday Inn & Hilton

The Holiday Inn Story: Hotels are mah second passion and today I literally walked over to the Holiday Inn right down the street from my house (would be a huge blessing if I get it) and asked for some Human Resource information. A lady told to to come back tomorrow and ask for certain people. It is opening up in December and they are interviewing and hiring people on the spot. I like hen employers do that! I really really really do!!! I will go over tomorrow morning and take a chance to see if I can get hired!

The Hilton Hotel Story: Well, I called mah friend, Brandy up and asked if she had any weight that she could carry to get me on at the Hotel where she works and she just asked me to e-mail her my resume and that I did and not just waiting to hear back....

I tell you...finding a job now in this economy is NOT what you know and the skills you possess...I think it is WHO you know...that's right, I said WHO!

Death Strikes

I received a very disturbing phone call from my mother on last night and she informed me that my Uncle, her brother had dies of a heart attack at his home and he was alone and his friend had found him on the floor. I hate all these relatives that are dying. I think that I feel more sorrow for my own mother and what she is going through rather then mourning myself.....

Friday the 13th's "2012" Movie Premiere Night

I went to see the film that everyone was talking about many many many months ago and was even asking when I was working at Hollywood Video if we had it to rent yet and it had not even came into theaters as of yet until last night, "2012". Whew! Quite the little introduction, huh? It could have been made to be a little bit more realistic. I mean me and Shaquetta were just looking at it and laughing out tails off because the special effects and how all the natural disasters were happening was funny. I mean, if it took all this time to release this film-they should have taken a lil bit more time on it! Other than that small detail, the movie was great. Great action, Mother Nature is a beast and I was thinking about other films like Hancock, The Golden Child, Titanic, and The Perfect Storm all during certain scenes in the movie! Lol! It was a good movie, but I feel that it would have been better, so much more better in 3D!

Playing Frisbee With Eddie

My friend, Eddie came and picked me up today and we went to the park at night and played frisbee. It was amazing-the weather was perfect! Jut the right kinda cool! Afterwards, we went to Arby's and ate some grub then we went to get doughnuts! We love to eat! Lol! I had a great time!

Helping $kidz Out=100%A+

Mah friend, Kurtis had a English paper to do for his class @ BYU-Idaho and he decided to write a paper on me and just today he told me that he got the paper back and received a perfect score on it! I was so happy for him and for me! I love English! English was my BEST AND FAVORITE subject in school! Kurtis had another problem that he needed to talk to me about as well today and I listened to his situation and I gave him some friendly advice! He told me that it seemed as if I sincerely cared and that he really appreciated my words and that I made him feel a whole lot better! I liked that! I love helping people and figuring out what is the best course of action for them to take. It made me really feel good about mahself! Go Travis!!

The Salute: Michael Jackson's "This Is It!" Film!!

I can see why he named it, "This Is It." He was re-doing and altering all of his fans' favorite songs because he was going to retire. He still had all the moves and is still the King of Pop. I shed a few lil tears for him I LOVED the Thriller re-make and Smooth Criminal! He will blow any dance movie (Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance, Step Up, Dance Flick) out of the water! I will miss him and I will still buy some shirts and Cd's to honor him! RIP Michael Jackson! It is a shame that his life was cut down where he could not perform in London. From all the hard work from the rehearsal that was in this movie-it would have been AWESOME! This movie is one that I would definitely get on bootleg if it id NOT hit the shelves on DVD!
