I’m nursing a semi-hangover from the party in Bel Air that my friend, Janet Strauss was so kind to invite me to. OMG it was a circus–literally. There were migets (can we still say that?) everywhere, cursing carolers and trucked in snow, because rich people have no idea what to do with all their money. But it was so worth it to get footage like this so I could bring back to you, like the cat that brings a dead bird to your door as a present:

 

These guys are from Texas and came to Los Angeles to shoot a fitness video. I don't know about you, but I'm buying it.

Now I’m off to my Mom’s to check on how she’s doing (apparently the hair is coming out in clumps *le sigh*), so I’ll be back on tomorrow to do some Monday-morning playback on the cluster cuss that happened on LaShaun’s thread. Stay tune because it’s going to be interesting…

About the movie, the sista is beautiful and has a beautiful voice, but some of those opening scenes make me a little nervous (I got a distinct " I just want to experiment with a Black chick" vibe from some of them) but the final ones look a little more encouraging. Hopefully it will be a nice, uplifting story with a Black actress as the romantic lead, something that we need much more of from Hollywood. Also props to them for what looked to be another BW with a rainbeau man while he ran out (Or was thrown out?) of the building.

Thanks guys for all the well wishes and prayers--I guess they're working! Aside from the hair loss, Mom's in good spirits, has lots of energy, and seems to be doing really well. I mean...she's basically the same as before, just wearing a wig.

Hi all! Dang, I'm not having much luck today in the virtual realm. Since this is becoming an open forum, I'll say that I just got into a virtual altercation with a really angry, racist WW on youtube. I don't even know why she was on this particular part of youtube except to spread her hatred and vitriol. She even called my children mutts and wished them to die because I said that I would be very happy when racist people die off. Well I meant what I said and she decided to go after my babies. What trash!!! Anyways, I was viewing the trailer for the movie "My Last Day Without You" which will be in theaters December 15th. Let's go out and support this movie. I certainly wish that it does well at the box office so that more movies of this sort can be made. You can find the trailer and my rather heated conversation here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3TQYafkG7M

Please tell me I made some sense because when I get angry it's all I can do to stay calm. I wish I could have e-slapped the sh!t out of this person, but you know, it won't solve anything. She's trash and she's just upset because BW are now competition.

Brenda55 4316 pts

Browncow That Dec 15 date is for the German opening. I has already been shown in the states at film festivals. This movie may go direct to DVD unfortunately. Per the film maker's face book page they are close to a TV and DVD deal for North America. Some possibility for it to be shown in theaters however. Hopefully FriendofJay stops by. I believe he has seen it and maybe can give his critique.

Sorry to hear about what you experienced with the YouTube commenter.

I just watched the trailer yesterday. It does look promising. Big screen or DVD, I plan on giving it a go. Browncow

Browncow 301 pts

Thanks. Well I guess I'll be getting this on DVD or on Netflix or something. Either way , they're getting my money that's for sure. I've decided that I need not suffer fools and their ignorance. There is no convincing or changing a person. Only they themselves and God (if you believe) can do that. I'm confident that there is a special place in hell for those who attack innocent children. So I'm at peace with that.MyBetterSelf

Not meaning to be annoyingly philosophical Mrs. Browncow but I suppose it's impossible to be perfectly happy in this world. However let the following cheer you up a bit.

Okay. Took a gimps at the little diatribe between you and her on YTU (YouTube University - the ultimate diploma mill). Read cupcake's side bar whimsical text on her channel page. Ok. Listen. Don't sweat over her as she seems a poor irascible mixed up soul with a penchant to wanna

wantonly waywardly wrangle wearisomely willy-nilly. The world is full of human beings of her stripe. Take my word on this. Won't do you any good to beat the eternal perdition out of her, if you (and your posse maybe) were to catch her alone on some poorly lit deserted back street at 2 am far away from the main drag. There's too many more out there and...well you'll just wear yourself out down to the bone marrow, if you were to try to personally teach each of them a corporal lesson of your own design to supposedly put the fear of God into them - and besides, God don't like uugleh, vengeance is his (to dredge up some threadbare AA clichés for my dumb kicks) and you could get in dutch with the Coppers. So let's be practical there.

SurlySammy 138 pts

Moreover, She'll win anyway, to add insult to injury (irony not intended). How? By you playing into her hands to directly help her to prove to the plastic world that all Black women are essentially sore losers and abruptly turn into crazy savages (just as bad as their men, maybe worse), buy getting up on their high horses and riding roughshod, verbally and physically, over any who dares to oppose them in anyway, no matter how slight or immaterial. (And I have to say that a lot of us do tend to fly of the handle over petty stuff, what with our characteristic way of hooting and hollering and screaming and shouting and fighting riddled with belligerent vulgar obscene profanity which – which only serves as grist to opportunistic members of non-Black peoples mill, what with all the audio and video capturing devices ready at hand to aid & abet the throwing of Black Rage scenes up on YouTube to smear and inspire fear. Ya'll dig? Something to think on). Instead of being meted a shellacking or death, she needs deliverance from the bondage of ethnic bigotry, as many others do who harbors racial hate and a desire to peddle in it (Blacks and Whites).Martin Luther King inspired by the words of wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi stressed non-violence and Love. So try to keep love in you your heart and brass knuckles out of your pockets.

SurlySammy 138 pts

Another thing to consider is that she's mentally ill, hands down. Probably from abuse of dope, if not otherwise. You can tell by how she texts. Judging by her writings, esp. on her channel page, she's the type deeply into to running with the hare and hunting with the hounds in flip-flop fashion, as they're rife with peculiar contradictions, non sequitur nonsense mush. Not to mention her admissions of throwing emotional fits if one doesn't humor her and play ball her way; as if she's some Mary Poppins (with her emphasis of being all sweetness and sugarplum faeries) who'll instantly turn into some goddamn Mommy Dearest on the minutest issue. All in all she's could be a candidate to involuntarily take up residence in a secured rubber room of some special home out in the country somewhere for TLC by the attentions of those professionally trained experts endowed with that rare gift of patient magnanimity and hope for mentally crippled humanity, and she's using YouTube as (and other websites I'm sure) some preventative outlet to keep this at bay for she's mortally afraid of being separated from her computer and iPhone to access her her e-mails and conduct instant messaging, I surmise. The unspeakable horrors of electronic co-dependence with many of us compu-bugs (and the compu-bug bugs).

And if any man unwittingly takes up with her to be his lawfully wedded wife (as she stated that's she practicing to be a housewife or something) he'll definitely will have to start buying his aspirin wholesale. She also could very well be a warehouse of material for Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King for a surplus of deranged character element ideas and development. I dunno. But the whole point of this is that it does no good to argue with train wrecks like her. But maybe you could have already sensed this as you didn't engage in bandying words with her for long. And as to her assailing your dear bambinos with tactless talk, they were directed at you not them. So they shouldn't have suffered from any black eyes and bruised heads, if you take a peek on the bright side. As a Black & White mixed breed "mutt" myself, I've been called far worse than what she called yours by her type. (I am too another woman's child, so don't feel alone in what happened. Thousands of Black and White mothers have had to endure the same jingoistic dismay whose children are Café au laut. Yet I haven't suffered any broken bones by it (just, at times, broken grace for the gross inadequacies of the human race.) BUT Keep the fires of love burning BLUE, even for those who know not what they do.

Browncow 301 pts

Thanks. I don't think that I would have done real harm or violence to this chick. I figured she was bat shit crazy after reading a couple of her posts and decided not to feed the troll. Like I said, she's afraid of competition from BW, AW, or any non-white woman for that matter more than anything and it's at her front door. We're entering an age of our country where it's like Europe and we're more on an even level in the dating and mating realm and she just can't stand that her pedestal is cracking under her deranged ass. I'm not a violent person and I'm actually the antithesis of the stereotypical "loud, violent, she-male, mammy, sister soldier" BW that is spread throughout the world. It doesn't matter. My husband last night while we were up with our 13 month old told me that it's a good life and he wouldn't trade me or our children for anything. It was then that I knew that the crazy bigoted chick on youtube didn't matter as well as anyone else who thinks like her because I'm loved and happy with my life. SurlySammy

Well Hooray for Honorable Hubby for endearingly upholding his beloved Wifey. (Were you sitting on his lap Mrs. Browncow at the time when he reassured you to make you feel extra cherished, precious, and important? Wish I was there to take pictures of it all and to....afterwards go off somewhere alone to have a good cry (in overwhelming poignant joy that is! I try to be tough and obdurate as dolomite like men are suppose to always be, but sometimes the waterworks just have their goddamn way and burst through my "macho man" resistance and turn me into a complete sentimental sloppy SLOB!!!). That's righteous what he did. Oh and I really didn't think that you were some trigger-happy pugnacious Penthesilia type and I apologize if I came across like you could have been. I was merely trying to make a point to disclose a pitfall, of “one cutting off their nose to spite their face” sort of thingy. I've seen quite a few fine Black Ladies in my life with ace equanimity - in the slums and elsewhere - handle themselves with cool aplomb under the white heat of hostility and ire from others. Beautiful, just a lovely sight to behold to off-set lingering Blaxploitation Industry claptrap.

But the misbegotten flaky fractured whitefolks mass media in tandem with the two-bit YT vid bird-dogging bilious miscreants on the fowl scent for odious occurrences (along with the [yes this must be stated, ohTAAAY!?] boot-licking Uncle Toms amongst us hustling and aspiring to compete with and outdo Judas to get dat thirty pieces of sliver to buy dat CAR and other conspicuous consumption luxuries to shore up dey crumbling self-esteems for being “nutin butta niiiigguh”) would ignore this as “exciting as watching the paint dry and afterwards fade as time wears on” newsreel copy and exclaim, “Where's the GODDMAN pleasure in capturing THAT!? Unless were want to advertise something more powerfully soporific than damn sleeping pills.” Ahem. Now as for Ms. Sour-cream Cupcakes with all the bats in her belfry to supply enough shriek nocturnal vermin (not meaning to poke fun at her sick World View) to furnish about 100 Bela Lagossi classic thrillers, I'd say the only thing I can think of is to enlist the late late big-mouth straight-up proletariat Ralph Cramdon to stand in front of her and high-handedly decry at her, as he superciliously did with Ed Norton at opportune times, “YOU, my dear, are a mental case!!!”

From Wikipedia "Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon, the son of Patricia Bond (née Taylor), an English costume designer/performer, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr., a geologist and Hawaiian-born American of English, Irish, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and Chinese descent"

In other word that hunk of lusciousness is a result of the swirl.

I'm a total sucker for chick flicks. Foreign, domestic, Lifetime Disease-of-the-Week; doesn't matter, I'll watch it. Well, that and really really bad disaster films made in Canada or by Canadians as seen on Syfy; the cheesier the better.

The USA doesn't produce the volume of CF's it used to. Target demographic for just about anything is male 13-20 with some female 13-20. These days, I mostly "read" [i.e. subtitles] a good CF. Latest from NetFlix DVD were "Dor" [Hindi] and "Hula Girls" [Japanese]. Half pack of Kleenex per movie; four hankies up, etc.
