Well, I'll Be..
1. They rescheduled last week's canceled audition for this past Tuesday evening and I'll be doggone, I didn't get the part. I just knew I had it in the bag. I am not gon' lie either, I am miffed. As much as I love doing my voice over work on the animated show I feel long overdue for an "on-camera" role. Sigh!
2. I had a 2-minute standoff in the parking lot at Best Buy over the weekend. I tried pulling into a parking stall only to discover a wayward cart in my way. I immediately backed out of the space with the intent to back up enough to pull into another stall. Guess what happened? The idiot driver behind me wouldn't cooperate. What a fucking moron. As I am trying to back up about 2 parking stall lengths this fool of a driver pulls up behind me and sits idle. I motion with my hand for him to back up. That doesn't work. I motioned with my hand for him to back up then point towards myself then to a stall to our right, what does he do? Turns on his left blinker. I repeat my motion "back up-towards me-to car rightside stall" he doesn't move. We're at am impasse. He wants the stall on the left side a car length head of where I am but can't get around me. I want the car stall directly next to him. Again, I repeat the motioning. What does he do finally? He pulls into the stall where I wanted to park. Fucking dick!
3. I watched Shrek 2 yesterday to prepare for the new Shrek movie and it was much more I remember. When I saw it at the theaters I was not moved. I left feeling extremely disappointed. Perhaps, my expectations were a bit too high at the time.
I also attempted to watch a movie called The Fountain. 50 minutes in, I had to turn that crap off. The story was going nowhere fast. It was painful to watch.
Has anyone seen Stomp the Yard? I watched that vid over the weekend and felt a bit cheated. Visually, they engaged the audience with the dancing and camera tricks but it seems the story could have had a few more complexities. I was left wanting. Now I am left wondering when the next great black film will hit screens? Maybe my memory is just too short but the last few black films I have seen have been watered down, paint by the numbers fluff. I am open to suggestions. If you've seen a great black film recently with a good storyline and good acting let me know.
4. Pet peeve: when people look for an opportunity to offer you an unsolicited negative opinion.

Today
1. I am tired of the lying ass Daddy on Ugly Betty. How many more secrets does he have?
2. Those bastards canceled my audition yesterday. Booo!!! Can you believe it? I kept telling myself all day "yea, I am going to get this job. I can't wait for the audition to get here." There excuse was "the producers left the project."
3. I hate people that offer to help you do anything then make you feel like you're bothering them when ask them to live up to their word.
4. What a terrible NBA playoff game that was last night.
5. Yesterday the cashier at Best Buy asked me if i'd get upset if she called me "peaches." She was really nice about it. We both laughed when I told her "no, that wouldn't be a good idea."
6. I am seriously gaining weight. :-( I am not happy about it BUT I can't make myself seriously commit to working out to aid in slimming down. I guess I haven't hit rock bottom yet.

Thoughts
1. No these fools have NOT started a Pardon Paris petition. Have they lost their minds? No, I didn't happen to catch the tail end of a radio interview that was conducted with one of the petition organizers who said Paris has a ton of fans? Hmm...people are fans of Paris because of....her ability to spend her families money in style? No, no maybe they admire her ability to bogard her way into mega celebrity status usually reserved for entertainers, sports figures and politicians (people who actually have careers) for doing nothing more than being a socialite. Oh, I am sorry. I guess she does qualify as an entertainer. She and her BFF did or do have that reality show. My bad Paris. Anyhoo, her petitioners agree with Paris and her mother's accessment that Paris is being treated unfairly and being made an example of. Perhaps they should hold a contest for her fans and the winner can take her place in JAIL. Or, better yet the winner can co-habitat the jail cell with Paris. Please don't mind me I am just talking out loud.
2. I'm not an old school R&B head so I am gonna need a little help. I'm trying to understand something. I'm noticing that it's common place for current R&B singers (NOT including hip hop acts) to sing songs where "nigga" is a lyric. It always throws me when I am listening to a record and I hear that word blasting from my speakers being sung in melodic, passionate fashion. Is this trend a new school of R&B styling only? Or, was it just as prevalent in older R&B music and I just wasn't aware?
3. I am starting to think the ps.y.chic I visited with a few months ago might've been right about a few things. Who knew? I left the reading laughing my ass off. I had a plan to do a documentary on psychic phenomenon: real or hoax. Yea, I am being serious.
4. I feel great. There's a positive flow going on in my life right now. My creative juices have been flowing consistently for the last 3 weeks. I've finished those treatments, just started another treatment, I have a callback on a project today, the animated show has been going really, really well this season...could this be my season? Is it all coming together? Time will tell.
5. Joe's new album is a disappointment. Most of the uptempo songs are just garbage. He's a balladeer, why does he persist on recording those god awful fast songs? It's not his strong suit. Likewise, Paris Be.n.nett's album is straight up SHIT. I feel bad for her. She's a talented young woman but her music completely misses the mark. Ne-yo's album is not so good. Save for for the tune"Because of You" I haven't been able to listen to any of those other songs. Boo! If you want a good laugh, take a listen to Am.eri.e's new project. The singing is horrific. It's loud, out of tune, and all the songs are bad. She usually has one jam an album. I don't know what happened this go 'round but she didn't deliver. T.ank's new album is a keeper if you like mid tempos.
6. Talk radio really entertains me.
7. Gas prices are too damn high.
8. A friend of mine told me she got pulled over by the calif. highway patrol recently and when she asked the officer why he said it was because she had no respect for him. Apparently, he merged onto a freeway and immediately all of the other drivers slowed down to a snail's pace. She swooped around all those cars and kept driving at the legal limit of 65mph. He didn't like that. To make matters worse on herself, she said she refused to roll down her window completely. She cracked the window about 3 fingers high. LOL! She's going to court to fight the ticket he issued her.
9. Friend is too excited that Hubby is graduating from college this weekend. She's trying to down play it but I can tell she's amped up. She called to fill me in on the family and friends reception she's organizing for him following the commencement ceremony. She doesn't care for his family that much and can already feel trouble a-brewing.
10. Why do these chicks on ANTM always cry and moan in their exit confessional about disappointed they are in themselves because they know they could have performed much better in the competition? I want them to shake up the judging panel. Judging used to be fun to watch. The last few cycles its become a snoozefest with Twi.gg.y on board. I think those two Jays need to be removed from that show immediately, as well.

The Heads Up
Tonight
It's been brought to my attention that I will be in tonight's season finale ep of Girlfriends. As I stated previously, blink and you'll miss me.
Tomorrow
Lord Help Us on DVD.
Some of you may recall several months ago that I mentioned my buddy Shavar had produced a film. Well, the release date has finally arrived. The DVD hits stores tomorrow May 8th. Yay!!!! In the eleventh hour I joined Shavar's production team to assist with a few odds and ends. You'd never guess how many little details have to be taken care of before a film can see the light of day. It has been an interesting rollercoaster ride. I'm so happy the day has finally come. Take a minute to watch the trailer.
Film Synopsis:
Sometimes you find romance in places you'd never imagine! In this hilarious romp, unlucky-at-love Kayla and her best buddy Jewels help a recently widowed Baptist minister regain his flock and his life as they battle a scandalous rumor
Lord Help Us Trailer
Be on the lookout for the film will be at your local Blo.ckbu.ster and Hollywood video stores starting tomorrow. Also, if you care to purchase the film all of the online retailers are carrying the film, most notably am.azo.n, wa.lm.art and b.arn.es & no.bles. Other online retailers include: over.sto.ck and deep discount. Help spread the word. :-D

Trying New Things
Thank goodness the week has come to an end. The week has been very productive but I am pooped mentally. I was able to complete a treatment for the 2nd reality show concept me and my partner have been working on. Yay me! Its been nagging me that we couldn't flesh out the idea completely. It was strange. The overall idea has been in tact for awhile now but we couldn't think of weekly challenges for the competition style show. That all changed this week. Everything fell into place. Phew!
As excited as I am about knocking out the treatment, the truth is, this week has been about a different project. Jokingly, I jeered Bernie the other day saying he threw me into the lion's den - which he did. It was ugly people! Very, very, very ugly. LOL! But in all seriousness, I owe Bernie many thanks. Because of him I was able to try my hand at something new, something different, something pretty exciting that I'd now like to share. Yesterday, I recorded a "quiet storm" radio dj demo. A lot of my time this week was spent conceptualizing my 'faux' radio program and radio station including call letters; frequency; slogan; station theme music; and playlist. I wanted to be over-prepared for yesterday's recording session.
Please take a minute to listen and leave your HONEST feedback.

Breast Slapped?
Watching J.u.dg.e Ma.thi.s this morning and see the following. It had me dying. For some reason, I just don't buy into her story.
Short on Time
Blame it on Bernie and procrastination but I am short on time and won't blog again until Friday. I am busy completing my 2nd treatment that I have been dragging my feet to finish. A fire was lit under my ass last week though. It's now a must-do task. I tend to work better under pressure. Now back to Bernie! He's not a nice man. LOL! When you see him, you can tell him I said so. *wink* He's thrown me into the lion's den to be eaten alive. Friday I'll tell you all about it.
