Only In My Dreams...

These are clips from one of my fav christmas movies...White Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah...it's an old white people movie...whatever...this movie goes...and the chick in the movie...Vera-Ellen has thee best dance numbers I've seen ever...they don't dance like this anymore. Lowkey...nobody is on this chicks level.




Watch her foot!!! She's the one in the pink.









...now tell me I'm lyin...that chick was bad.

Phyllis Hyman...

So I'm watching "UnSung" on TvOne and the 1st episode is on Phyllis Hyman...now I've heard of her before...but really couldn't place the name with anything. But after watching the documentary on her life, I must say...she was the shit. Phyllis' story was a classic one...pretty girl...hit the music biz and the music bi really didn't know what to do with her. She was the first woman signed on to Arista Records...too bad Clive Davis didn't really know what to do with her. she struggled to make a number one hit...but,she did find success...on Broadway. She starred in duke ellington's musical "Sophisticated Ladies" opposite Gregory Hines(another great) and Hinton Battle. She even got a Tony nomination...but as the tragic tale goes...she fell out with Clive...turned to drugs..attempted suicide...got her act together only to be replaced with no other than Whitney Houston...make a comback again...get diagnosed with bipolar disorder(that is illness is really affecting the black community...real spit)...started taking meds...was on her way back to the top...stopped taking the meds...lost her mother and her grandmother....went back to drugs and alcohol...and commited suicide in 1995 a week before her birthday.



Check her in "Sophisticated Ladies"...


I love her sass!






...Phyllis Hyman...another unsung great.

I'm Taking A Dance Class B4 I Die...

So I was once again looking at sum SYTYCD clips on youtube...and I came across this one...


Now I knew this dance was bomb...but WTF????? Sick as hell is more like it.



Sabra was so beast!

I'm Having A Moment...

I cnt wait for these next few days to pass so I can go home...I'm tryna hold on...but stuff is slowly starting to slip form my grasp...

So I've been hung with my ex-teacher these past couple of days...I really need her energy in my life sometimes...she puts life in sum sorta weird perspective...

So this week history decided to repeat itself...nd for me...it really brought up some old feelings I knew I had and probably always will...but that's what happens when you lose someone...

It's funny tho...cuz last year...my professional life was on fire but my relationship life was a hot mess...this year my relationship life is on fire but my professional life is a hot mess...like I'm on my shit...but it feels like sumbody just sucked all the fun out of it. Like...the reason I fell in love with theatre isn't there anymore...well...it is...but certain people know how to make me dislike it...I never thought that could happen...EVER...

I wanna go to grad school...but at the same time...I'm really tired of school. But I don't wanna wait a year cuz that means I'll have to get a standard job..and I kno I'ma hate that shit...but, to go to school just cuz I have no other option is gonna suck too...Idk...maybe I'll feel differently once this semester over and I have some time to rest...

If I just push through these next two weeks...I got at least a week of freedom...

I really hate Thanksgiving...never really liked the food...I don't like turkey...don't like mac and cheese...don't like stuffing/dressing...dnt like cranberry sauce...all I ate were the greens...nd since my grandmother passed they aren't the same. Nd now that my uncle and my aunt are dead...I don't even miss being at home for Thanksgiving...

Even though I cnt wait till Christmas cuz it's my fav holiday... tht hasn't been the same since my grandmother passed either. She died in 2003 and I still get teary-eyed every holiday just knowing that I can never go back to before...wearing sweatsuits to her house ever Christmas so we can eat BBQ chicken and greens...nd whatever else the fam made...my dad baking all kinda pies and cakes...singing happy birthday to my cuz Joe...you never know how much you miss something till it's gone...I never thought while she was alive that I took her for granted...but now I realize tht I did...nd it sucks.

But anyway...I think I'm hit the hay 4 now...just got done listening to 88-Keys "The Death of Adam" album...mess is tht fire...dwnload it immeadiately.




...one love.

Beast.

Annie Lenox at The AMA's....she rocked this...and she channeled Nina Simone.



...until next time.

Maybe It's Just Me...

But I swear these two kinda/sorta favor each other...

Shari Headley(Lisa from "Coming To America")



Selita Ebanks(Victoria Secret model)



So what ya'll think? Am I trippin or what?

Just a piece I wrote over a year ago describing me.

FYI...it's neverending.

I Am
I am
Trustworthy and kind
Loving
Caring
Overbearing
And non-sharing.
I am
A believer
A thinker
A self-motivator
And one who never minds imitators.
I am
Strong and fearless
Yet I fear the unknown
I hate to walk alone
Yet I do so often to clear my head.
I am
Ever-changing
Ever-creating
Ever-understanding of the things most don't
Always wanting more than the average.
I am
Powerful in my own right
Never afraid of a fight
Always trying to change
Hateful of things that stay the same.
I am
Afraid of hurt
I don't believe in crying
And I hate admitting the obvious
Especially to others.
I am
One who hates to see my loved ones in pain
So much so that I won't even visit my own family members in the hospital.
I crave positive attention
I like to color in my Sesame Street coloring book till my hand starts to cramp
I love working with kids
Even though I don't want any of my own
Yet I'm sure if the right young man asks me,
I'd be more than happy to oblige.
I am
More than a conqueror
And believe that everyone can be saved if they really want to be
I am
More than what meets the eye
But you'll never completely know me
Even if you tried.
I don't say this because I'm trying to sound "stuck-up" or "bourgisie"
I say it because I learn new things about myself everyday
I am
Somewhat jealous of my younger sister
Because she always gets what she wants
But sometimes I feel sorry for her
Because she doesn't know what it feels like to work for something
I am
The friend that always has good advice
But is too stubborn to swallow her pride and take it herself.
I am
A body of knowledge and experiences
Who believes in sharing these things with others
I hope to someday change the world with my spirit
Like Fred Hampton, I know that "I am a revolutionary"
I am
Sub-concious about myself
And sometimes use my sense of humor
To overcompensate for my insecurities.
I believe in giving back to my community
And being the voice of a neighborhood
I am
An avid churchgoer
When I am at home
Not because I believe that there is always a blessing in the message
But because I believe their is a blessing in my interactions with others.
I feel that colors mean happiness
And that black doesn't always symbolize death
Sometimes it stands for a person who is unsure of themselves
And black represents a blank slate that can be shaped into anything
Because
Black goes with everything
Except for brown-at least that's what my mother told me
But I've seen it work
I am
Made in God's image
So why do people continue to judge me based in my skin color
I wish for unimaginable things
Like world peace and intraracial equality.
I tend to question things
That no one has the answers to
And get frustrated when they can't answer them.
I hope for a better tomorrow
Even if today was worse than yeaterday
I hate when people misinterpret my personality
Or think I'm mean when I'm not smiling
I am
An actor
I love the stage
And would marry it if it were legal.
I am simplistic yet complex
And describle my life as beautiful chaos.
I hope to one day be a Tony Award winning actress
Like one of my many role models Audra McDonald.
I think I'm in love with someone who doesn't love me back
I am a
Goal-oriented
Semi-organized
Young woman
Who still believes in fairy tales
Who was blessed with a "good life"
But still has her own "crosses to bear"
I believe in Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior for without him
I would be much more insane than I am right now
I hate when my hair isn't done to my perfection
I'm still learning how to work well with others
I believe that "honesty is the best policy"
And hate when people lie on me
I am
Not-perfect
Even though I try to be
I am
Simply
Not finished.

The Best Show No1 Is Watching...

I know ya'll remember "The Game"! Well...The CW has apparently moved it to 8:30 on Friday nite! Who's really home on a Friday????? If it wasn't for the internet I would be so behind on the season right now. And the thing is...I swear this is their best season yet! So for those that haven't been watching...and I'm sure thats everybody...lemme cathc ya'll up.

Ok so Derwin got ole girl he was datin last season pregnant. But he and Melanie(Tia) did get back together...but having to deal with a baby on the way is causing them some major problems. They get into it almost evry episode. Tasha is still dating Rick Fox...which is pretty funny cuz she's still tryna keep it a secret from everybody...well she just told Malik abt it in the last episode. Anyway...so Kelly and Jason(aka My Honeydip) are divorcing and Kelly is starting to date again...but she's not really sure she's ready yet...so thts gonna be juicy...esp. su=ince and Jason have already "dipped back" and slept with each other since their seperation. Malik is still married to Robin Givens but at 1st it was only to save her tired ass career now it's so Malik don't look like a punk bitch in front of the media. But at the end of the last episode, Melanie and Derwin get in2 this big argument cuz she's mad that Derwin got his life insurance changed to say that his baby moms gets 5 mil if he dies...but only cuz he was looking out for his baby. Well Melanie gets mad cuz she was just on the phone with her parents begging them to pay for her schooling because Derwin has to start watching his expenses because his team may cut him...cuz he re-injured his kneee when he got in2 that fight with that dude Melanie was datin at the end of last season. So in the end, he says that it's her fault he might get cut and that his child will always come before her...so she leaves and says she's done. See????? I told ya'll it was good...I cnt wait for the next episode...2 bad I'm probably gonna have to catch it on the internet...again.

I'm in a toss up...some days I'm with him...other days I'm with her. Who's side you on?

It's Over...It's Over Now...
