Prayer Works...

Let’s do my weekend in reverse.
(Monday Morning)

I came in to work this morning and walked into $250 bucks. Yes I said $250 bucks. I won the football pool (2 quarters). You will never understand how much I needed that money.

(Sunday Night)
Last night before I laid my head to rest I picked up my bible and read Matthew 7:7 (twice) and then I said a short prayer basically for personally growth and God heard that prayer and delivered hence the $250 that I didn’t even realize I had won.

(Sunday Afternoon)
The weather could not have been better on a November day in Chicago. My son “The Future” played in his second play-off game for the Lombard Falcons and he played very well both sides of the ball. They lost but they had a great season. Any time you make the post season is a great season. We celebrated with sloppy joe’s and a nap. We ended the afternoon watching Norbit. Why ya’ll didn’t tell me that movie was funny as hell. I saw it a long time ago but the revisit had me on the floor. Classic line “I’ll show you how a bitch go down a slide.” LMAO!

(Saturday)
I woke up with Precious on the mind. I picked up my girl Tasha Hope and we hit up Golden Nugget for breakfast. I had not had Golden Nugget since a late night on my way home from Cliff Livington’s Rivera night club in 1993. Why did we have to drive clear across the city to go see it I will never know (they bogus for that limited release shit). Any who the movie was amazing but, let me tell you about the previews we saw. They showed about 10 damn previews and only ONE actually matched the film we were there to see. Did you know Tyler Perry was making a “Why did I get Married too? I didn’t but it looks good. Now back to the movie… Precious was very well done Monique should get a standing O for her performance. Someone somewhere is living that story and it is very sad. Later that day my son lost his mind and I found myself standing over him ready to do the “Black Momma” and drop a T.V. on his ass but, I stop because I don’t want to be in Precious Part 2 “A boy’s tale”.

Precious

This weekend I plan to see the movie Precious. Plan is the key word. I checked for listing of where to go see the flick and to my surprise it is not playing in very many places. I must admit I did not read the book so this will be a new experience for me. I have read as many of the spoilers as I could and now I am beyond excited about going to see Precious.

Stay tuned for my review. I promise to have it posted by noon Saturday November 7, 2009.

The suggestion box is open…

My birthday is coming (Sagittarius in the house). We are such a classy group; loving, fun and classy. LMAO! I have to reflect back on the last 33 years of life and make a decision on how to celebrate. So, I am looking for suggestion. Help a sister out with this one. I kind of want to have a throw back skate party; then I kind of want to have a football party because my B-Day falls on the Bayou Classic.

The Music in Me…

Music is the sound track to our lives. This is a proven fact no matter your race, age, sex, or size you have a favorites song and you remember where you were when you heard it for the first time. No matter what; you have that one song that you will sing or dance to regardless of who you are around. For me Janet Jackson’s Control will make me break into a solo dance performance you will never forget. I was 11 years old entering 6 grade and man could I move. I remember watching her on the American Music awards (I taped it of course) and learned every step. I must have watched that damn VHS tape a million times. Here I am 22 years later and I can still remember the way I felt when she hit the stage.

Like I said the music in me is alive and my theme song right now is Jay-Z “Already Home” just listen to the hook:

Oh they want me to fall (Fall) Fall from the top (Top) They want me to drop (Drop) They want me to stop (Stop) They want me to go (Go) I’m already gone (Already) The shit that I’m on (Hey) I’m already home (Hey, I’m already home yeah).

Now that is a hook and those of you close to me know exactly why that is my new favorite song. I have had plenty of theme songs and people close to me understand that I have at least 100 favorite songs. Mary J. Blige’s “No more Drama” “Just Fine” “The One” makes me ask is this chick following me because she hits what’s going on in my life every time she drops a single. Did you get it “My Life”? For the slow people that is the name of MJB’s sophomore album that will never be top by anyone in my book.

Now I ask do you have a theme song? What song would be track one to the sound track to your life?
