Did You Hear About The Morgans Premiere!

This movie was not as good as I anticipated it would be. It lacked in originality; everything was TOO PREDICTABLE!! There were no hidden agendas. It was just too plain...Sarah Jessica Parker needs to stick to Sex and the City movies. I was very disappointed in this film. I t was okay, but no where in the vicinity of great! The previews fooled me again! :(

I mean, it had that funny storyline to it, maybe the acting sucked or they nedded better actors, I dunno, but for whatever reason it was not good at all. I mean, it cmae in fourth place opening weekend! That is weak! So sowry Hugh and Jessica!!

Mah 73 Inch Big Screen TV

I've always been kinda skeptical to post pictures of my television on here or anywhere but it is the Christmas Holidays and this TV was a graduation present and I am honored and proud 2 have it! I am worthy of it n I have always wanted a TV of this size! Yes, there are BIGGER TV's out there, but this one is the biggest that I have ever had in all of my entire life! I love it! I have so many DVD's and I have not watched all of them yet on my TV! Lol....hopefully I get a Blu-Ray player soon and surround sound system-that would only enhance the sound and picture quality of a movie on a TV of this magnitude!!!! I do know for a fact that when I watch "Deep Blue Sea," the sharks look like they are going to burst out of the TV screen! And when I watch "Fast and the Furious," it is amazing! Certain movies are the bomb on this thing!

21 More Days Left!!!

Oh man, I am so excited! In such a great mood! I live about 5 minutes away from the New Orleans International Airport and I find mahself driving there almost every other day just to see planes take off and land and at times when they are on the runway, I try to keep up with them! Ha! Just the mere thought of flying gets me excited! I love to be in the actual airport just watching airplanes land and take off! It is kinda difficult in the car because I cannot pull off 2 the side of the road, but I still feel like a kid at Christmas time and before I had a real FEAR of flying due to 9/11 then when a US Airways plane landed in the Hudson River a while back, all of the events really make me reflect and REVERT back to my fear, but I am trying to get past that fear! I am so excited because all the friends that I am going to be re-connecting with on my trip and wanting to do this and that with me, have fun, catch up, talk, chill, etc. I feel truly blessed that I have friends in my life that WANT to see me, WANT to do things with me, and SHOWS an interest in my life...I get excited because of their excitement just for me to arrive! That makes me feels special and appreciated and it is a good feeling!!! Thanks friends!!! I love y'all!!!

A Precious Day

A Precious Day for me is that I am still counting my blessings that I was able to get a Macy's credit card yesterday and just shop and not to exceed my credit limit. They had some great items that were on sale and I bargained up on them. My friend, Cinthia and I went to see a movie tonight, we went to see "Precious." I had already seen it, but she really wanted to see it and so I agreed to go with her because it is an emotional film and she did not feel comfortable going at it alone. We watched it and Cinthia did not fall apart...we took this picture today as well-being in the Christmas Spirit and all! HaHa! And then I got a surprise phone call form Tammy. I have not heard from her in a month....today blessings were just pouring out over me and I loved each and every one of them!

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon"

My feelings on this movie is that it was more in-depth and well produced....its meaning and purpose kept my attention! Twilight was alright, but this movie was so much better! I had not read any of the books, but this movie has more force, action, realness....it was like a teenage love story, given that is what it is to this generation, but I loved it and this one I will want to buy on DVD when it is released! I loved the ending-but I kinda figured out what was going to happen as I was hearing Edward...it was just a common sense thing! :)

Eye Choas & "Armored" Movie Premiere

I had been having some eye troubles for the past entire week and today I went to the eye doctor and he told me that I just had an allergic reaction to some thing and prescribed me some antibiotic eye drops and that the problem will dissipate! I was so glad to hear that because the eye is very sensitive and my health is nothing to play with so I had to make sure I was not losing my sight or anything like that! I am a firm believer is catching a problem as soon as it shows up!

"Armored" was a pretty good 'lil movie. It was fairly decent. Something that I thought was going to be predictable actually won't and I loved that! I love suspense-something that I am use to and think will happen won't happen I APPRECIATE so much in films nowadays because it so so rare! Laurence Fishburne got burned bad in this movie and it was funny! It had the right dose of suspense and the right touch of action/nothing too overly dramatic....just right!

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!!
