I Don’t Wanna Be Joan!
My faithful readers know that I love the now defunct TV show Girlfriends. I wrote a post about. Like to read it? Here it go.
Well, someone today compared me to the main character Joan Clayton and not in a good way. This person – who shall go unnamed because she does not want to be mentioned on my blog – said that, like Joan, I was beautiful, successful, and possessed the inability to find a man due to my unrealistic standards and overall craziness. Can you believe that?
I am totally capable of self-analysis and I can admit that I can be a bit dramatic at times but I do not believe I have unrealistic standards.
Okay, truth moment, I do need a lot of attention. I expect a guy who wants me to really show it. I want to come first. I want him to be God-fearing diseased free, heterosexual, intellectual, financially responsible, over-the- moon about me, love-his-momma-without-being-a-mommas-boy, no-baby-momma-having, Laz Alonso look alike.
Too much?
Okay, I'll take or leave the Laz Alonso part but ugh! Why must I be antagonized for wanting something good? Does not the Bible say that no good thing will He withhold from him who walks upright?
I was watching this episode of Girlfriends on YouTube – don't judge me! In it, Joan messes over a super nice guy and a super fun guy for the exciting guy who was not all that in to her. She went too far and gave too much only to be let down in the end. I had an epiphany. Oh gosh, I am Joan!
Is not admitting that you have a problem the first step to recovery? I am just still learning how to accept someone's imperfections without accepting less than what I deserve.
Don't judge me. Help me! lol
Latino and Black
There is a new PBS documentary, "Black and Latino." The issue of colorism among people of Latino descent is discussed.
I find this clip very interesting. A lot of the same issues of light skinned/dark skinned that are discussed among African Americans, in this documentary have a spanish twist.
And yes that is Laz Alonso looking all types of yummy in this video. lol
Suprisingly Latino:
1. My girl, Lola Falana. Her father was a Cuban immigrant.
2. Tatynana Ali – Panamanian and Trinidadian descent.
Build-A-Man Just like Build-A-Bear but Cheaper
I was over at Very Smart Brothas and ran across a post entitled, "Building the Perfect Woman." I won't go into the ridiculousness that men consider "perfect" on a woman. Suffice it to say, if it were left up to men, women would be a conglomeration of double d's, a big butt and a smile.
The post did get me to thinking about the perfect man. This topic is right on time considering the fact that me and my friend spent yesterday discussing our "lists". The "LIST" consists of the qualities we want in our future husbands.
So making a list and checking it twice. To make it fun, I'll use celebrities. Here we go (No particular order):
1. Intelligence like President Barack Obama.
2. Smile like Laz Alonso.
3. Eyes like Omar Epps.
4. Heart like Dr. Daniel Hale Williams.
5. Character: A man after God's own heart
6. Body like *inside my own head* lol Too many to choose from.
7. Enterprising like Michael Lee Chin
8. And swagger like DENZEL!!!!!
Build your man in the comments.
Just Wright Is Such A Good Movie – A Review
How often is the full-figured beauty the romantic lead? How often does she get the handsome guy? Never!!
Come on, you know how it goes. The exponentially shallow, unlikable BUT pretty and skinny lead falls for guy, some misunderstanding happens and later on they work it out and fall in love. Where is the more intelligent, fun, sophisticated and wise full-figured friend? On the sidelines, cheering her skinny friend on. Oh, and if the big girl gets some love, it's with Mr. Boogie Wolf or Sir Snaggle Tooth himself.
Not in Just Wright.
Common is the man. I mean his deliver of his lines is so smooth. It reminded me of Denzel Washington's portrayal of Bleek Gilliam in Mo' Better Blues. And no, I am not exaggerating. I think it's the MC in him. If a single movie can transform a man into Denzel Washington material, Just Wright just did it.
I never thought of Common as a sex symbol. I think it was the hazy glow created by all of his high yellowness. lol. I know that's wrong but Morris Chestnut and all of his chocolatey greatness makes it hard for men of Common's hue to get their respective sexy on but by Jove, I've think he's got it!
Queen Latifah is a star – pure and simple. She radiates on screen. She has a quiet confidence that announces, yes, the Queen has arrived, whenever the camera is on her.
For example, she shares the screen with the incredibly beautiful Paula Patton. When they are in the same screen shot, Queen Latifah garners your attention. I don't know how she does it but I want to learn.
I won't ruin the ending for you but let's just say the audience applauded!! (This was in the multi-cultural bougie part of town, too!! lol)
Go see it and leave a comment!
P.S. There are a lot of great cameos, including my latest obsession, Laz Alonso.
Thanks!
