Wait a minute, Heavy D is doing Reggae, WOW!!!

My boyfriend told me that he saw this video on MTV tonight. I didn't believe him. Actually I still can't believe it even though I just saw it for myself. I just wasn't quite ready for this one. But the song is hot, I guess. Hmmmm......... I knew he was planning a comeback, I just didn't know he was reinventing himself into a Reggae Star!

LOL, I finally watched Step Brothers. Hilarious!!!!

If you are like me, and enjoy incredibly dumb movies by Will Ferrell, then you will love Step Brothers. I know I'm late but I just rented it. Here is a clip of 40 year olds Dale and Brennan making their beds bunk beds. They are creating more space in their room for, "So many more activities"! Classic!!

Cadillac Records is a Must See!

My family and I went to see Cadillac Records this weekend. I was presently surprised by this film. Honestly from all the advertisements, I figured the entire movie would be based on Beyonce and her role as Etta James. Now don't get me wrong I am a B fan too, but I was hoping the movie was not centered around just one megastar who in my opinion is becoming a tad bit overexposed. Anyway if you are not too upset with my Beyonce comment, and would like to read on, I would love to share my thoughts on this outstanding movie!

Cadillac Records told the story of Chess Records, the company that introduced the world to Blues great Muddy Waters (Jeffery Wright). Now I have always heard of Muddy Waters but regretfully I never knew his story and how significant he was to Black music history. Muddy Waters, known for his voice along with his guitar skills, opened the door for other Blues singers and musicians such as Little Walter (Columbus Short) and Howlin' Wolf (Eamonn Walker). Like Muddy, I knew very little about these two stars as well. As Chess Records made these Blues greats famous, owner Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody) also launched the careers of Rock & Roll great Chuck Berry (Mos Def) and singer Etta James (Beyonce Knowles). The movie highlighted the history behind each of these artists and the incredible barriers they broke for so called "Race Music" during the 1950s and 60s.

In my opinion, the storyline was laid out very well and the actors used for each role were amazing. I would particularly like to say that Columbus Short and Mos Def really did their thing. I mean Columbus is still early in his career, which is obviously going to take off from here. And Mos Def, most defiantly, became Chuck Berry in the flesh!

As for weekend box office results the film did not do so badly. It took in an estimated $3.5M from only 686 play dates. The R-rated film averaged a good $5,102 representing the second highest average in the top ten. Now Cadillac Records was produced for $12M, so let's hope in the next few weeks we all go out and support this one!

Jim Martin Defeated, But Yes, We Still Can!!!!


Ok so I was very disappointed to see Jim Martin loose in the runoff election race for Georgia Senate last night. I hate to know that Georgia is such a republican state, I mean even in the Presidential race McCain won Georgia. It just seems impossible to me in this day and age that republicans still run this state. But I can only speak from my background and the neighborhood I grew up in and vote, where I know democrats (white and black) exists in record numbers. But in areas outside of Decatur, Lithonia, College Park, and South Fulton I guess republicans are alive and extremely active.

This angers me, but more importantly pushes me to become more active in the Democratic Party. Saxby Chambliss has already said he opposes President Elect Barack Obama's plans and will work hard to push his good ol' boy republican views. As democrats we need to continue to take a stand in Georgia even though we have been defeated! I hope that the majority of our party does not feel like their vote does not count! Please continue to live by our new creed, "Yes We Can", trust me we can still turn this state around!

Almost Boyfriend Christmas Gift Guide Quiz


Ok ladies, it’s that time of year to decide what type of Christmas gift to get (or not get) your friend/boo/homeboi who you’ve been talking to/dating/sleeping with. But what is the appropriate gift for someone who is not quite your boyfriend but much more than a friend?

Take my quiz and find out if that sweater/iPhone/pat on the head is too much to spend ;-)

1. How long have you been dating?

Please Note: If you are not “dating” you should not take this quiz. Come on Ladies, we have to be realistic about our situations.

a. 1 week (0 points)
b. 1 month (1 point)
c. 2 months (2 points)
d. 3 months (3 points)

Please Note: If you have been dating longer than three months, than he’s PROBABLY never going to be your boyfriend. ...And don’t turn your face up like that, I’m speaking from experience.

2. How often do you date?

a. 2-3 times a week (3 points)
b. Once a week (2 points)
c. Once every 2-3 weeks (1 point)
d. You can't remember the last time you saw him. (0 points)

Please Note: If you can’t remember the last time you saw him, then you are not dating.

3. How often do you speak to him?

a. Everyday (3 points)
b. A few times a week. (2 points)
c. At least once a week. (1 point)
d. Whenever I call him. (0 points)

Please Note: If you only make calls and never receive them then you are not dating you are stalking…

4. Are you having sex with him?

a. No. (2 points)
b. Yes, but only once. (2 points)
c. Yes. (2 points)
d. Yes, whenever he wants. (0 points)

Please Note. Just because you are sleeping with someone does not mean you’re dating. Don’t be a jumpoff!!! And “whenever he wants”….uh NO, you have needs too!!!

5. How much does he spend (on average) on dates?

a. Half, we go dutch. (2 points)
b. $20 - $44 (2 points)
c. $50 - $75 (3 points)
d. Nothing, I pay. (0 points)

If you selected “nothing, I pay”, STOP - RED FLAG – TURN AROUND, AND START AGAIN!!! I am very much a modern woman HOWEVER I think it is very important for a man to pay in the beginning stages of dating.

Please Note: I am not promoting gold diggerism but if your friend/boo/homeboi is always paying for your outings, a small token of your appreciation is always a nice touch to an impending relationship.

The Score Card

Score: 11 – 14
Gift Price Range: $75 - $100
Gift Example: Sporting Event Tickets (not courtside) or Electronic Accessories (not an iPod but maybe an iPod docking station)

Score: 7 – 10
Gift Price Range: $50 - $74
Prefect Gift: Cologne or Article of Clothing

Score: 4 - 6
Gift Price Range: $30 - $49
Prefect Gift: Dinner (yes, you pay)

Score: 0 - 3
Perfect Gift: A Door (to walk out of)
Are you serious? Do you really think this guys is worthy of a Christmas present? On second thought, maybe he is…having game like that must be worth something.

New Jamie Foxx video co- starring Taraji P. Henson


Jamie Foxx - Just Like Me (feat. T.I.) from min on Vimeo.

This video is tooo cute. I love Taraji! I've been a fan of hers since Baby Boy. She cracks me up. Anyway I'm a huge Jamie Foxx fan too. I mean I can never take him too serious as a singer, but his songs are always hits. Can't wait to hear the new album. This was a great single to start with! Also I'm sure you noticed them copying Micheal Jackson at the very end of the video. That came from Speed Demon which was a video on Moonwalker. Remember, the one were Micheal had the dance off with the Bunny. Anyway you know I had to find the video to share with you as well. Enjoy!
