Beautifully-Human

I had this entry saved from the other day and totally forgot to post it so I’m going to post it now. LOL. I don’t know why I never posted it. It’s from last week. SMH…

08-28-08 I woke up this morning with a major migraine. I had a really great night last night though. I pretty much watched the Democratic National Convention and the shows that followed on BET with my best. We really enjoyed it. I was enjoying the whole experience until Barack came out and I started crying like a little baby. I just really love that man. I always have. There’s just something about him. My best kept asking me “why are you crying” and I’m like “Dude, do you understand the gravity of this moment!!!”…. “Plus he’s so hot!” LOL. I really pray for Barack Obama. I pray that God gives him the strength and ability to lead this country in a new direction and that this country supports him in doing so.

I feel so bad for Jordin Sparks. I was reading online the other day that she has been struck with a career-threatening throat injury. The reports say that she’s suffering from an acute vocal cord hemorrhage and that it’s forced her to cancel several dates as the opening act on Alicia Keys’ tour. They said that if she doesn’t take the time out now to rest her vocal cords and let things heal that she will be risking permanent vocal cord damage. Ugh. I know that must be killing her. Not only because she’s a singer and that’s her gift, but it’s also her livelihood. I pray that she makes a speedy recovery and gets to join AK on tour soon!!

Just when I think that the entertainment world is shifting from catering to children there comes a movie that proves me wrong. I was checking out this weekend’s box office results and the number one movie in the country was “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!” The computer-animated fable that features the voices of comedians Jim Carrey and Steve Carell took in about $25.1 million dollars. Not bad for Easter weekend. The Tyler Perry movie “Meet the Browns” came in at number two with $20.0 million. I’m really happy for Tyler because I love his movies. I can’t wait to see “Meet the Browns” soon!

I know I haven’t been blogging about America’s  Next Top Model recently, but who cares, I’m blogging because my girl Saleisha won! She was my favorite from day one and I had my fingers crossed that she would win and she did. Woo hoo. Hopefully she’ll continue to have a successful career because she’s really talented. I was watching some old videos on Youtube of things that she’s done and it’s easy to see why she won. She’s a star for sure. Besides her winning, this season has been pretty dead. Tyra needs to wrap this up soon. I don’t think they’ll renew it once the contract expires in 2 years. It’s time. They’re running out of things to do.
