That's A Wrap!!!

I am not really the blogger type so I don't think I will be posting any new blogs. I did enjoy it a couple of times because it's like having one more person to talk to. I also liked it because it made me feel like I wasn't alone with some of the thoughts that I was thinking at the time. I have enjoyed everyone and I appreciate everyone that commented on my blog through the passing weeks. On to another topic, I really want to see the movie "Precious" and it is not playing anywhere but major cities. I want to know why they have so many commercials for it and everyone says it is a great movie but it is only in select cities. A movie that powerful and meaningful should be played everywhere so everyone can experience it. I am really amazed it isn't everywhere with Oprah backing it. Also, I don't think that is a smart move for the production company. Since they are not offering it everywhere, I think that is putting a cap on the money to be made. I thought the main point was to make money with no limits, not limit the money to be made. But my sister just told me that the movie will start showing in New Orleans on Nov. 20th. I will be down there after Thanksgiving so I have made plans to see it there. On the other side, maybe the people who made the movie have done the research and by only offering it to select cities first makes people in other places really want to see it and then offer it everywhere and make twice the money. Maybe it's the idea of people want things they don't have. Now that I think about it they may be on to something!!! That is only if this is their plan, if it isn't then it is bad business!!!

Advisor Meeting

I had an advisor meeting last Tuesday but things were a bit unorganized on both parts, so I had another one today. I say things were unorganized because they did not have my degree checkout sheet ready and I found out that I have to take two extra classes than I expected, which threw me for a loop. I was so looking forward to only having three classes next semester, with it being my last one and all, now I have five and they all take concentration. Well, I guess you can say six classes since I will be doing an internship and they have an actual class for it but it doesn't meet in a room. I really thought I was going to have a break for once next semester but I guess not. Also, one of the classes I have to take is at eight o' clock in the morning. I have never taken a class that early because it is too early for me and I hate that I have to do it because I need to graduate in May. Also all my classes are on Tues. and Thurs. So I have classes from eight until one forty-five and a night class on Tuesdays. That is five classes on Tuesday! Well I guess I will have Mon., Wed., and Fri. to recuperate, but I will have a job so I don't know about that. Every semester is a different challenge, this one might be the hardest since it is the last. I know to some it may seem like I am being unappreciative, but that's not it, I am happy, but it is just kind of covered up at this brief moment. I try not to really, really look forward to things for this exact reason, a big let down. Is anybody listening?

Slate URL- Chris Brown's New Song

When I went to the Slate website and browsed through the articles, the one about Chris Brown popped right out. The article about Chris Brown, www.slate.com/id/2233981/, said exactly what I was thinking. When I heard his new song "I can transform ya" I wondered how people would like the song and how they might not like it just because of what happened. I know they were going to be really critical of him. I really thought he was going to come out with a slow song relating to what happened; but instead he comes out with a fast paced song. I wondered was it a good move since it would kind of imply that he's over the situation and everyone else should be too. The song is alright to me, but he has better songs. The article was a little too hard on him. They also were talking about how the people who produced it and featured on the song were wrong to do so. I think that is taking it too far; money still has to be made, the world cannot stop cause of what happened. Also they shouldn't try and cause conflict to the people who forgave him and let it go. He was wrong, everyone knows that, he knows that and admitted it. In life I believe one of the lessons to be learned is to forgive and forget. The media and other people who just want to gossip and hold on to things need to understand that. The guy said he is seeking counseling and he is on probation for like five years or so. I believe he gets the point people!

Critique of Saw 6

I watched Saw 6 today and it was great!!! It basically tied everything together and kind of finished things. I want give anything away so you will have to go see if for yourself. It was very gruesome as always, but this one was filled with suspense because you want to know how they tie everything together from the past five movies. I do not think it will be another one, but if there is I will be surprised and excited! I enjoyed it while it lasted! If you do like the movies or have only seen some, then you should watch all of them and go see this one. I think this series of horror movies was well done.

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

This Friday is my mom's birthday, she will be 54 years old. I am doing my blog early so I can spend time with her this weekend and actually have a break from school. I am getting so burned out. I am glad my mother is still here with me because one of my friends lost her mother last week in a horrible accident. She and her mother were very close, like me and my mother. She is trying to be strong and not have a breakdown, but I think she needs to let it all out. I think one of the worst things you can do is hide your feelings, in any situation. When you hide feelings they build up, or you lose your chance to let someone know how you feel about them; because tomorrow is not promised. I am terrified to lose my mother or father. I feel I still have things to learn from them, there are still things I want them to see, there are still places I want to take them. I want them to see me get married (if that ever happens) and have kids. I have not had anyone that I am real close to in my family pass away; I have been fortunate because I am not good with peoples deaths. I try not to think about it but I know it has to happen one day but hopefully not for a long time.

Saw 6

I love Saw! Saw 6 is coming out on the 23rd of this month and I am so excited. I do not know why I like horror movies, but I do. I guess I find how people will die entertaining. I don't like it when people die in real life so I'm not obsessed with death or anything I just like the entertainment. I imagine I like Saw so much because the people die in the most interesting ways. I like creativity and that is what Saw is; but I like creativity whether it is a comedy or love story. If you have not seen any of the Saw series then you should take time and look at them because it is not your typical horror movie. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it is when it comes out!

Bills

Bills are necessary to have a nice life, you need things to survive and the results of some of those things are bills. Sometimes, I think the world is starting to make too many unnecessary things necessary. The world evolves everyday so more and more things seem to make sense to have, like cell phones, internet, and other things like that that have over time become important. It feels like I create more and more bills since I have started paying them. I guess as you get older the more things you need. Being a student, this really takes a toll on me because I don't work alot of hours so I can have time for school and make the grades I want. I guess it is my fault for wanting to be independent.
