My Movie Of The Week: Iron Man 2 (Trailer)

You know I’m in the theater on this one. I like Robert Downey Jr’s acting. And I liked Iron Man 1, so I’m in the house supporting this mega-movie on opening weekend. And as an added bonus, they put my man, Don Cheadle in here. So, the acting will be off the chain on this [...]

Lifestyle Change: Day 10 of 70 – Where’s My Support System?

Okay, Day 10 is kinda rough. I’m already tired of giving up the stuff that was bad for me. Why can’t I have two boxes of grapeheads before breakfast? I don’t feel like jogging or walking for 2 miles either. The only thing that I would never give up on is writing. Its sorta like [...]

Lifestyle Change: Day 9 of 70 – Everything I Do Does Matter…

I guess in our society where one’s individual impact is often minimized, we begin to believe that the things that we do don’t matter. How we dress, how we talk, what we eat… Who is looking at us? Who are we? We’re only one person. So, what does it matter? But on this journey of [...]

Lifestyle Change: Day 8 0f 70 – Withdrawal Symptoms….Yep!

Before and after dinner for the last couple of days, I have gotten headaches. It was like my body was saying, “Since you’re not overstuffing me anymore, I’m going to give you a headache!” Gee whiz. It’s the most ridiculous thing. I’m eating less junk food, less fats, less sweets, and eating more vegetables, more [...]

Losers Movie: (Review) Looking Forward To The Sequel!

I saw The Losers Movie with Idris Elba, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Columbus Short, Zoe Saldana and the rest of ‘em. As an artist, its my job to create art, not critique it. So, I only have love for the actors and the film. As a filmmaker, I’m so happy that a film with such a [...]

Lifestyle Change: Day 7 of 70 – My Anger comes from Self-Denial

Sometimes when I get angry for absolutely no reason at all, I’m angry because of something that I’ve denied to myself–something that I really deserved. Maybe I wanted to go to the nail salon and duties as a mom got in the way. Maybe I wanted to go to the movies, but conflicting schedules with [...]

Lifestyle Change: Day 6 of 70 – Veggies Make Everything Smell Better

I declare, I don’t want to gross anyone out today. But, I believe the more veggies you eat the better you smell. I think it affects, breath, body odors, the whole thing. I don’t know if its true, but I think so. I wear a retainer at night to keep my teeth straight, and I’ve [...]
