On the way to meet my honey at the Tara to see a screening of Page One (documentary)

Just met Candace Bushnell, that's right, Ms. SEX AND THE CITY. She was amazing!

Woke up this morning to some of the sweetest text messages from my perfect boyfriend.

The Bronzelens Film Festival is pleased to join AFFRM (African American Film Festival Releasing Movement) in presenting the Atlanta-area theatrical release of the film "I WILL FOLLOW", starring Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Omari Hardwick, Blair Underwood and Beverly Todd.

I received the above email and thought, why not, I'm an indie filmmaker, I should support this. Boy was I in for a surprise. I purchased two tickets for myself and my best friend Ciara, owner of Sublime Catering, and we attending the 8:05pm showing at Phipps Plaza. When we arrived we discovered we were fortunate enough to be at the showing where the actor Omari Hardwick of the film, a Georgia native, would be doing not only an introduction for the film but a Q&A afterwards. What a treat! Then the film came on.

An amazing tell of love and loss. We've all been here, trying to pick up the pieces after a close death in the family. The film brilliantly weaves together the affects of one woman's death from the perspective of her caregiver. Her Hollywood niece who dropped everything, her career and her man to tend to her favorite aunt. Of course no matter what you do there is always someone around to tell you what you should have done, enter the aunt's daughter. A roller coaster ride of emotions are unfolded with elegance and grace. A universal tale anyone can enjoy.

I'M LOVING IT

I'm loving it, my life that is. Big changes have come for me, I'm no longer letting love beat the hell out of me or being unwise as to who my haters are. I realized I had some people in my life who needed to go away and poof now they are gone.

Look at what I came into the new year with already, I started back to school at the Art Institute, got Drake enrolled in basketball, completed a film short, found a job I love, got rid of a man that didn't love me and had some new business opportunities present themselves.
Ba Ba Ba Ba I'M LOVING IT!

The Fall Off

Even though I have proven myself time and time again I still periodically am dumb enough to succumb to the stupidity of allowing a man to occupy my time. The dumb shit, the fuck shit of life. You give a man your all and get disrespect in return. I was doing well, focused back on my game as far as preparing a film. Enjoying the fruits of working at the greatest place on earth Little Shop Of Stories (loaded with awesome people, great books, impressive celebrity events and a monster discount). Then I met a man, fell in love and wanted to become holly housewife with a house full of babies. I don't know if I was on dope or dog food.

Regardless once again I fell for the okie doke from another fool who's in love for five minutes until the next woman he falls in love with walks around the corner, you know the type way too immature to work at a relationship. The first sign of rocky waters and he's looking for new booty until that ship sails as well. It's all good, he wasn't my first upset but he is my last.

It's time for me to love me and me alone. When I say me you know that automatically includes my baby boy. It's me and Drake against the world. I have had the luxury of working with amazing filmmakers, working in development on a hit TV show, managing a ballet, working Obama's campaign, attending fabulous private schools and being from a family of classy entrepreneurs.

The crazy part is I call myself being selective. Before this newest relationship disappointment I hadn't dated anyone seriously since my son's father (King Dead Beat Daddy Loser). I just knew my last conquest was special, I guess he is to the new chic he's dealing with, lol. One day he was telling me he was in love then not 48 hours later I couldn't get a returned text or phone call and when I did catch him he acted like I was Georgia Power trying to collect a debt. The funniest part is that he thinks I'm too dumb to recognize the signals a man gives when he's moved on to a new lover.

The Lord knows what's best though because less then a week ago me and my partners nailed a movie deal that's going to truly launch our careers. I guess even God knew this was not the man intended to take a ride on the gravy train with me. So now I'm back solo, fortunately I'm one of those people who thrives when I'm single and don't need a mate to feel secure.

Watch me shine! Till next time, as you know this is just part of the ups and downs of being a mega mogul momma.

lastexorcism

Attended a screening of Last Exorcism last night, here's my thoughts. Here's my scale again for those of you who don't know it.
Wow, really = Don't ever watch this
OK = Watch it only once it reaches a premium cable network
Very Cute = Good, works for it's genre
Riveting = A must see, amazing work

Last Exorcism = Very Cute

A troubled evangelical minister agrees to let his last exorcism be filmed by a documentary crew. Problem is he's a fraud, the crew better hope the demon in a fraud too.

Some great performances, shot mocumentary style, reminiscent of the original Blair Witch.
