Book of Eli

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I decided to watch The Book of Eli movie, starring Denzel Washington today. I was curious to see what it was all about and I enjoyed the movie until the end. There were a few parts of the movie that I didn’t care for, but I don’t want to spoil it so I’ll keep my opinion very simple. Overall the movie was great, but I did not appreciate Hollywood promoting a perversion of the Bible. They are so many new translations of the Bible that are all perversions of God’s word, and the Bible that was in this movie was one of them. At the very end of the movie the Bible isn’t a King James Bible. It’s a New King James Bible! That just killed it for me when it comes to this movie, but what do you expect? Nothing Godly comes from the world (Hollywood).

In other news we are suppose to be moving out of this God forsaken apartment into a house this week! I cannot wait to get out of here. I am tired of this place! The heat makes a loud banging  noise when it comes on. – It sounds like prisoners in chains, banging against the bars with them. Literally, that’s how loud it is.  On top of that, there’s this loud popping noise that I have to try to sleep through that happens from time to time over and over again. Of coarse we have the mice issue which we can hear them scurrying through the walls and on top of that I’m getting really sick and tired of someone leaving boxes of unwanted food outside my door like we’re some charity case or something! We have a fridge full of food and people have the nerve! It’s quite insulting! The food is usually just crap they don’t want, expired cans of stuff, and or stuff thats opened already! Why would I use your left over salt! Or sugar you tied in a food storage bag? Do I look that stupid or desperate to say the least? If it was that bad here, I could easily go up the hill(a few blocks) and ask my mom and dad for help before I ever feed my family the left over scraps out of someones cabinet! Seriously I can’t wait until we move out. I’m considering putting a note on our door stating:

Please do not leave food here, we are not a charity case! Thank you.

At first I thought it was just a nice gesture even though we didn’t need it, but when it started becoming an ongoing thing it’s really irritating and embarrassing! It gives people the impression that we don’t have anything and that we’re just this poor family, struggling just to put food on the table!!

Movie: Precious

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Today my hubby and I went to go see the movie “Precious”. I really didn’t want to see this movie once I found out what it was about. My hubby read the book and when I asked him about it he told me the gruesome horror of a teenage female growing up in an abusive home. The abuse was the worse type of abuse I’ve ever heard of. She was beaten, verbally abused, as well as sexually abused by both of her parents resulting in 2 babies, one born with a disorder. To top it all off, poor Precious was cursed with the AIDS virus from her father. I did not want to see this movie after he told me what the book was all about because to me, being a victim of abuse myself. How can someone actually think up a story like this? I felt offended by it. I am very sensitive when it comes to the subject of abuse and I just can’t see how someone could actually write a fictional story like this. I could never come up with a story idea like the book “PUSH”. What kind of imagination comes up with the fictional ideas in this movie and book? It’s bad enough that she’s severely abused, but the AIDS virus too? Come on?!

Anyways, we wanted to go someone and there wasn’t any other good movies showing so “Precious” it was. The movie was a good movie overall. Monique played the hell out of her role. She should get an Oscar for that because she did a “damn” good job. She played her character so well, I wanted to jump into the movie and bash her with that cast iron skillet she had. I almost cried on certain parts of the movie, and even though it was extremely intense, I still say it was a good movie, but due to the intensity and sick subject of it I can’t say I’ll be purchasing this movie when it comes out. BTW: Mariah Carey isn’t that bad of an actor. I was thoroughly impressed!

Warm African Rooibos & Honeybush Tea

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I am so tired right now, but I really wanted to update my site so as I site here listening to John Legend’s “Everybody Knows” and sipping on warm rooibos and honeybush tea I wonder what to write about…

For starters I have only one week left at my job . Hopefully I can get through this week without any crazy mishaps coming from Diane’s drug addict husband. Each day I become more and more irritated with just being there and I already made up my mind that if her husband drops by during my final weeks there I will promptly make it my business to leave.

In other news, Brian and I purchased our wedding bands in white gold this week. We are going to try to get them engraved next week if not this weekend. It should only be about $50 to get them engraved at the jeweler we decided to take them to. Speaking of our wedding. If I haven’t mentioned already, our wedding website is located at sweetvanillasugar.COM.

Today I took the boys to see a movie called “Ponyo” by Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki has done it again! That movie was the cutest little kid’s movie I’ve ever seen. I thought “Spirited Away” was good, but this movie was simply adorable. If you have small children you should take them to see this movie my 7 year-old, 3 year-old, and almost 2 year-old loved it!

Thinking about my future plans (yes I know I’m all over the place today), I was thinking about some goals I will be able to accomplish now knowing that I won’t have my current job depriving me anymore; meaning I can start focusing more on Growblackhair.NET. I’ll be able to promote my site more, by writing more articles, adding content, and blogging on a regular basis. I know my site has a lot of potential and with more time and effort put into it, I know my site can bring in a decent income. I never received a Google check until I actually launched this site and I’m not going to give up on it just yet. I’ve made money already from my site, and things can only get better.

…honeybush rooibos tea is so calming and relaxing. Time to get whined down and get some sleep.

Happy 7th Birthday Elijah

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Today is Elijah’s 7th birthday so I’ve  been in the process of planning Elijah’s birthday party which will be on Saturday at the museum. The party will then meet back here for cake, ice cream, and a light meal. It’s going to be a dinosaur themed party and the museum will not only be fun, but it will be educational as well. I really hope this party goes as planned because I’ve been disappointed in the past when it comes to people not showing up. I don’t like spending loads of money on a party and making a big effort to show everyone a good time just for my son to be stood up. Speaking of Elijah’s birthday, Brian is supposed to be coming by to go with me to the party store to purchase some party decor for Elijah’s party on Saturday. He also wants to spend some time with the boys. I really hope they have the decor I’m looking for because I can’t really afford to spend $70 on party decor right now giving the fact that I’m currently unemployed.

I finally got an interview at a place working with people with developmental disabilities all the way across town. It’s a third shift position which is perfect for me. I really hope I get hired there. I’m tired of looking for a job and if I have to catch the bus all the way across town then so be it. I have to go there on Thursday and give them all my information so hopefully everything will work out the way I would like it to.

I also saw The move the Last House on the Left this weekend with my best friend Tenisha. I liked the movie and I didn’t like the movie because I don’t like movies containing sexual abuse, but I loved to watch a movie where someone actually got what was coming to them for once. I was under the impression that this movie was going to be scary because that’s what Tenisha said, but I found it to be amusing as well as a little sick and twisted.

Living In 20 Inches of Snow

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Snowy This is how it looked outside in the middle of the day yesterday during a huge snow storm we had. It snowed all Wednesday until about 7pm. Crazy huh? It was an estimated 20 inches on snow that fell, but I haven’t been outside with a yard stick to check the accuracy of that prediction yet. I’m currently waiting on my refund from my school so I purchase my books for class and have bus fare saved up to catch the bus. It will also aid in me being able to pay my phone bill and I can just pay my web-hosting bill for the entire year so I won’t have to pay it again for 12 months.

Hopefully I can find a job before the money actually runs out so I won’t be scrapping for change just to get back and forth to school. It costs $4.50 a day to catch the bus and I’m down to my last $5. I really wish God will bless me with some type of employment. It’s not like I’m not making a conscious effect to gain employment. What’s the big deal?!

The good news is that Brian is coming back to Cleveland today. I am a little excited, but for some reason I find myself rather calm. Maybe it’s because reality of him being here with me hasn’t really set in yet. I love him so much and I can’t wait to see him, but I’m not nervous or anxious to say the least. My mood is rather quiet today…

I was invited to go to the movies to see some 3D scary movie with my friend Tenisha and Terrance. I remember the last movie we saw together…”The Unborn”. That movie really freaked me out. I couldn’t sleep well for 3 days because of the weird, freaky things that I witnessed in the movie. It took a really sick person to come up with the idea of making a paralyzed man’s body twist into a shape of something similar to a spider and then to add to the weirdness of that his head twisted completely upside down. That was the most disturbing scene in that movie to me! I hope this movie is not as weird. I don’t want to lose anymore sleep due to some stupid movie. My imagination is part of the problem because it will just run wild. Well I have to go write an article for Grow Black Hair Online before Tenisha gets here.

Why Did I Get Married?

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Yep, I went to see this movie this weekend and I’m glad I did. I learned a lot, was able to relate to a lot, and I was entertained a lot. LOL ^-^

Movie Grade: B+

Pros: This movie touched bases in a lot of different relationship problems from infidelity-abuse. It is very entertaining and mixed with plenty of humor and a heated scene full of drama that will have you begging for more.

One scene that made me teary eyed was when Jill Scott (Sheila) was expressing the pain she was feeling. I never heard someone be so expressive about their emotional pain like that and I could relate to the pain in so many ways.

Cons: I just think it ended too soon, like there was something missing. I also didn’t care for Janet’s character. She seemed so unreal. The only scene that made her human was when she finally confronted a mistake she made and broke down because of it. Other than that I hated the “fakeness” of her character completely.

Well that’s it for today. I’m tired of being upset about things that go wrong or don’t happen as they should. I know God will work it out. Why do I need to ask a certain someone for help when I can just ask God. The way I see it I don’t need that person…

Transformers

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

I went to see transformers the other day and I have to say even though I was always an X-Men fan and didn’t really go for the talking robot thing, I really enjoyed this movie.

Movie Grade: A+

Pros: Excellent special effects and non stop action packed scenes. (I know those SE costs them a fortune!)

Cons: There wasn’t any.

This movie was awesome! Your 5+ year-old will love it and I’m pretty sure if you’re a Transformers fan you’d enjoy it, especially if I did and I never gave Transformers the time of day when I was growing up. This movie is way better than Fantastic 4 “The Rise of the Silver Surfer” which I have to say sucked ass.

Spiderman 3

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

This month I’m giving The Strawberry Web Builder a whole new layout. Last month I changed the background and banner, but I got a new idea for my site and changed it again. I also decided to break the tutorials up so it will be one tutorial per page instead of them all on the same page with anchor links. That looked sloppy to me so I decided to clean up the site. I’ve also revised a lot of the tutorials to the updated HTML.

I’ve updated the tags because a lot of HTML tags have been depreciated. For example <b> which is a tag to bold text is now <strong>, <strike> is <del>, etc. Some people are still teaching in their tutorials these old tags while using the correct ones on their sites. Which I think is pretty dumb. If you’re going to teach web design then teach it the correct way. Using old tags like the ones above will cause you to have validation errors and in the future your browser might not be able to read these old tags as soon as browser software is updated so it’s best to keep your site updated to code.

Next subject…

Jeremy, the boys and I saw Spider Man 3 today which I enjoyed very much. This was the best Spider-Man I’ve seen yet and it taught so many lessons about love, selfishness and revenge. Certain parts I almost cried and I had to hold back my tears. If you’ve seen Spider-Man 3 and had the same effect please let me know. If not then maybe it was just the pregnancy hormones that made me so emotional.

Movie Grade: A+

Pros: If you are a fan of the cartoon Spider-Man then you will see that the writers and directors really made sure this movie lined up with the characters and storyline of the cartoon unlike some movies like ‘ehem X-men.

Cons: Can’t really think of any…ask me later.

Okay it’s late so I gotta go to bed now so I can attend church tommorow.

Goodnight.

The Last Mimzy

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Despite the unforunate events that took place this morning I’ve managed to have a pretty good day and I plan on having an even better day tommorow. Everything is all taken care of when it comes to my enemies and destroyers so I have nothing at all to worry about and there’s no need at all to get stressed, which I am not so who cares. My life will continue to improve and get better. I will continue to be blessed and move to Florida with no worries in the world because now life is so much better and as soon as October 1st comes that will be my very first day of pure and total peace.

Today I took my sons to the movies to see The Last Mimzy and I gotta say this was the best movie I have seen ever. The storyline was simply beautiful and this movie was just so pleasing to the soul. This was the kind of thing I needed to see after this morning and it was simply magnificient.

Movie Grade: A+

Pros: Very well put together movie for the whole family. A masterpiece.

Cons: None.

After attending this wonderful movie I went to the mall with the kids and bought them some lunch. I also purchased a pair of red shoes that were on clearance to wear with a dress I’m wearing tommorow. You see the church I attend is a very important church in this city because my pastor whom I’ve known since age 11 is the pastor over all the pastors in the city his church resides in. Tommorow the head church of the state is coming to fellowship with our church so I have to dress up a bit. I usually wear a nice top and jeans or whatever I’m comfortable in (nothing trashy though) when I go, but this Sunday I won’t be stubborn and I’ll dress up a little.

Honestly just to let this be known if I really wanted Anthony’s church to be destroyed all I will have to do is tell my pastor and he will then conduct a meeting with the churches in my city to shut his corrupted church down. I mean who will they listen to??? The head pastor of a 30 year-old church that’s over them or a sorry 25 year-old pastor over a small storefront church that has only been open less than a year with only 15 members or less. You tell me. So why haven’t I you ask? Because the Lord says “Vengeance is mine” enough said.

I hope you are reading this Anthony which I believe you are since you simply have no life despite my efforts to block you from my site. You just can’t get enough. So keep coming to my site, reading my entries and trying to create confusion you false man of God. In time the Lord will deal with you and it’s a hefty price to pay to continue to attack a true child of God. You may continue to call Jeremy “anonymously” and alert him of my blog entries to create problems and he will continue to feed into your satanic, evil schemes. Your time is coming and there’s nothing you or Jeremy can do or say to destroy me or take away my joy. Just like the Psalm of David: He prepares a table for me before my enemies and He is my sheperd…

I have nothing to be afraid of.

Stomp the Yard Review

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I haven’t wrote in my blog in a while, I’ve been eithier tired or busy. So what’s been going on?

On Friday I went to see “Stomp the Yard”. It was a pretty good movie. The beginning reminded me of “You got Served” because it was the same scenario. I knew Chris Brown was going to die. I mean what singer really stays alive the whole movie? And if they do they get very brief parts like Neo did. It was better when they incoporated the “You got Served” dancing with the sorority stepping, but toward the end of the movie it was the “You got Served” scenario again, not very original.

Movie Grade: -B

Pros: Good dance moves and story line.

Cons: Lack of originality in some areas.

On Saturday I went to the Cosmopolitan with my friends Tenisha and James. We had such a good time! I wore my cream sleeveless shirt with the lace up front trimed with cream lace, some jeans and my cream knee high eskimo boots. Tenisha had some dark colored jeans with these cute black boots with gold studs on the side a brown belt that tied on the side and a black fitted top. I never seen her dress like that before. She looked really nice. They both shared a pitcher of Long Island Ice Tea and beer (yuck) and they were so drunk. I had 2 virgin pina coladas (yum) when I got thirsty. It was fun, just the cigarette smoke bothered more than usual. I never knew they smoked that much in there. I was chocking, my throat was sore the next day and my hair had a strong odor of cigarette smoke. I see why they say when you are pregnant the smell of cigarettes are intensified (times 10!). It was horrible I couldn’t wait for the smell to leave my hair. I felt so guilty about it that I decided not to go dancing again until the baby is born. I’ll go out to eat or to the movies next time.

Then on Sunday I went and got my nails done. I got gel nails because acrylic contains cancer causing agents and it makes your nails weak. Gel contains calcuim and actually strenghtens your nails. It also looks more natural like your real nail. I showed my sister yesterday and she thought they were my real nails. I guess you can say they are except my thumb nail. I had them do my nails short, like a sporty length. I hate long nails, they look gross and they get in the way.

Yesterday, I put aurburn highlights in my sisters hair. I cut her hair 2 weeks ago when I relaxed her hair and she was going on about wanting highlights. She’s been talking about getting highlights for 2 months so yesterday she finally got them. I styled her hair and that was that.

So that’s how my weekend went. Besides that I was tired and was resting most of the time. Destin learned how to eat with a spoon. He used to always get a spoon and a bowl and play like he’s scooping something up. So yesterday I made him a bowl of applesauce. I handed him the spoon and went to put the applesauce away. When I came back he was scooping it up himself. So I let him feed himself and he didn’t do such a bad job. A little messier than if I fed him, but it’s a start. Today he fed himself oatmeal for breakfast, he was such a mess.

I went to the ministry and deliverance forum the other day and told them about my cousin and I got alot of input. They said he has the spirit of Anti-Christ and I shouldn’t let him pray on me and be around him. I agree with them fully. I haven’t had him around me since that last conversation. They said he has multiple demons on him which is true. I discerned a few including the spirit of anti-christ, a pervese demon, and a spirit of pride. I know there’s more, but that’s all I could discern at the time. It seems like Satan tries to attack me in every area using anything and anyone. He really doesn’t want me to be able to tap into my annointing.
