I watched The Family That Preys today and it was good. I had heard several people say it was really good, but it wasnt as good as I had expected. I wish the story had centered more around Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard's friendship and roadtrip. The plot was lacking a lot of the interaction needed to make it a strong and riveting story. I figured out a keypoint early on in the movie before it was revealed. Don't you just hate that? Also I'm tired of seeing Tyler Perry star in his own movies. In the words of DMX " You ate enough already so stop being greedy. Keep it real homie and give to the needy." In this case the needy would be the beaucoup of Young male Black actors who would have loved to have that small part he portrayed. I've seen all of his movies except Meet The Browns b/c I had no desire to see that. I dont think that he's going to come out with another movie that will top Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Tyler... stick to being Madea and let someone else have a shot.

Someone sent me this in an email and I could appreciate what it had to say.
'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'
You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.'
I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now.'
I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.
I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?
Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
God
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it
is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
following:
Stop and think and appreciate God's power
in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to
Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be
ashamed of you before My Father'
Yes, I love my God. He is my
fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything. Christ is my strength.'

A night of travesty and such
Now I love Dancing With the Stars as much as the next person and I've watched almost every season. I forgot that the new season started last night and from the travesty that WAS last night I could have continued to forget. That was the WORST season opener I've ever seen. If the opening was that bad, I can only imagine that it will only get worst. Lance Bass and his partner were the best but of course Len would have something negative to say. How can you have 2 out of 12 couples be entertaining. I thought it was quite funny when Carrie Ann told Susan Lucci she thinks she needs to put on a little bit more weight b/c she looked frail. Oh and I also enjoyed when Cloris Leachman said the judges were full of shit. You've got to love Live tv.
In other reality show news, How in the HELL can you be in love with someone to the point that you want to marry them in a 3month period??? Oh no people this is not THE BACHELOR or any of the Vh1 " LOVE" reality shows. I'm talking about Real from I LOVE MONEY. This man is a sucker for love seriously. He's known hoops for about 3 months and he proposed to her. First of all, You know this woman has a boyfriend back home. Secondly, from what i've seen I dont see where he would get the idea she had those types of feelings for him. Sure they all hang out Hoopz, Real, and Whiteboy b/c they have an alliance, but she seems to be with Whiteboy the most. I watched the episode from Sunday last night and she was really upset to the point of tears when Real told her Whiteboy had said something about her. She was also upset at the fact that WB referred to her as being a stranger. Now... it may just be me but I think they have/had more going on b/t them than just that alliance for her to cry about it. *tsk tsk tsk* Somebody isnt telling all the business. I think the only thing Real is is Real dumb. *sigh* He's such a he-bitch.

Am I done yet?
I cant believe that it is only a little after 8 when it feels like i've been here hours. This is goin to be the longest night ever. Right now im fighting to stay awake. I hated to turn my bed loose. (Sidetracked: I just realized how much effort it takes to type a blog entry via your cellphone when you dont have qwerty.) *sigh* i might not walk a mile for a Camel but i would for a nap. Speaking of naps, i've seen a lot of articles saying that a 20 min nap can refresh you and make you more alert. I say bullshit!!! A 20 min nap is only goin to make me mad. I haven't slept for only 20 or 30 min since probably kindergarten. I need at least an hour but i prefer an hour and a half to two. Right now i'd take a power 15. *looks @ clock*. It took me 30 mins to write this and it still isnt late enough.
Come on 6 o'clock!!
Come on 6 o'clock!!
T G I S
Thank God it's Sunday. Sunday = two down and one to go. I hate working 3 day weekends. This one has dragged along at a snail's pace. I thought Friday night was never going to be over. I'm so glad that this is my last night to work. Sleep glorious sleep. I love sleeping. I'm sooooo tired I want to sleep 24hrs straight. Since my book hit me in the face while trying to read it I guess that means put it up and go to sleep.
