Is it just me, or has HBO & AMC really fukked up the movie industry the last couple years? You want to make a crime drama flick, and you have the Wire staring you in the face with 5 seasons worth of greatness. Fantasy movie? Nah, Game of Thrones with 20+ hours worth of character development will just shyt on whatever you try to do. I get more excited over these TV shows now than I do movies.
It seems the only thing Hollywood still has is Action.

That right there is whats killing my interest in films...Look at what writers did with characters in Breaking Bad/The Shield/The Wire...its difficult to go from that to an 1 1/2 hour drama on a big screen...doesnt hit home the same way and I could give 2 shyts whether the protagonist lives or dies.
I see myself watching more popcorn summer flicks than anything else lately
mandy moore ?

Can somebody link me to that car buyin' thread that was posted a couple days ago? I got a question to ask but I can't find it.
I'm too high, I'm woozy 
Even something like Sons of Anarchy just makes any attempt at a biker film pointless. HBO and AMC have ruined a lot of genres over the last few years.
who wants to stay in michigan
I actually do
They're probably making good money and living like the Rothschilds because of it and saving money in the process
Saving money tho? NAH

Ex called me this morning tryna sweet talk me 
I just really want to keep my distance. Her life is a lil too much for me right now. I couldn't deal with it. She's expanded her video girl portfolio substantially
She said she's coming to my graduation though. 
That's the only thing I can give her props on though. Even though we've broken up for like, 3 years, she still holds a nikka down.

Ive been thoroughly impressed w Ashanti's presentational skills during media events and interviews. She extremely well spoken (not from what i recall from the early 106 park days).
Girl been on Good Morning America several times this past year and again today, righteously, to promote childrens literacy and to set the record for the same book read by the most people in the same day. You go gurl!
She trumps bey in this regard by ten fold. Actually, shanti makes beyonce seem like a social paraplegic.

So much going on this week with the BET Awards coming into town this Saturday. I'm trying to avoid a lot of my usual hang out spots cause they are going to be raising prices to bullshyt highs.

Conservative politics for at least the past 30+ years have had rhetoric that seems to suggest that you have more strength or independence by voting for them. They use phrases or words like self-reliance, independent, self-sufficient, "a staunch conservative [blank]," or "a strong Christian [blank]" as if they have a monopoly on the ideas.
I never really thought that it was really a sign of strength to shy away from your community and refuse to help others, particularly when the chips were up for you. When I'm doing well and my buddies are going through financial straits, I don't mind paying for a few rounds on the weekend. I know that the same would work in reverse. I also don't think that indifference to people that are struggling made you a stronger person. Greed is a corrupting force on your mind that inhibits your most basic elements of humanity. Why would anyone be proud to embrace it and masquerade as if it were strength?
Mitt Romney dodged the draft to convert the French to Mormonism, yet has the lack of scruples to call Barack Obama a coward on foreign policy. This alone should let you know what strength really means to these people. Strength doesn't come from within, it comes from accruing an absurd amount of wealth and power and cruelly using it to keep others from doing so, to the point where they suffer and have no way of eking out a decent living for themselves.
I think that strength has more to do with a willingness to not only create a steady and strong life for yourself, but the willingness to help pick someone up when the chips might be down for them. Not only will you possibly need it one day, but goddamn it, man, isn't it more of a manly thing to do to show that you have both power and the conscience to properly use it?
Anyway, that's my random thought. I'll step off my soapbox now.

My black Excellence took a hit today,came into the office and got a report that I had a few overdrafts on some accounts I manage funds for, and my boss was copied on the email 
.. Cleared it though with no money lost, but still I know my boss was sitting in his office with the 
face.
