Perhaps I’m out the loop here in the Midwest. But when IS Howard’s Homecoming, and why the hell does everybody wanna go so bad THIS year? I mean I’m quite sure I understand why BGLO people wanna go…but Howard has a homecoming every year that I’m sure is phat for Greeks and non-Greeks alike. Somebody ‘splain, I caught the slow train. Or maybe I’ll just go to Howard’s website and check and see if I see any “special reasoning” behind anyone’s wishes. Moving right along. I have been wasting my days. I don’t go to bed until freakin’ five o’clock in the morning. Why you ask? Because I be up watching old movies eating leftovers (if there is much leftover) or up talking on the phone (to the few people I allow to call me that late) and the worst part is, my brother ans sister be up with me too. School is about to start very soon. And it seems as if that pattern needs to be broken. Not only that, but if I wanna actually get a job and keep it, it might be wise to start the go to bed early wake up early pattern again. Makes sense? I thought so. But the thing is the earlier I go to bed, the less of a life I have, cuz really the only friends I hang out with on the regular is those that are fucking crackhead vampires who stay awake til the sun comes up. I think they bit me. I have become one. This is the longest my cell phone has been off. Which means I’m really poor. All donations go to: Taleia Lockett, Merrillville, IN 46410. Every little bit helps. My land line bout to be off in a minute if I don’t find a ways to pay this bill this month. *gets down on knees and prays for a miracle* cuz with no job, as Deniece Williams says, it’s gonna take a miracle. I was watching some of the bonus features of the Best Man dvd last night, and I realized I never watch the bonus features of any of the dvd’s I have except for Bamboozled, I watched that with Spike’s audio commentary. But it was cool to see from the writer and director and cast’s perspective how the movie was in their eyes. Especially the writer. It kind of inspired me to think that the book I’m writing now is more than fodder for an Arabesque novel (I’d like to think it isn’t that cheesy) cuz I’ve contemplated just trying to sell the manuscript to them but I feel like this story is a lil more heavy than that. And all the while when I’m writing it, I feel as though it could be suited for a movie script as well. I mean why not. I felt Malcolm Lee when he was saying that a lot of the characters in the script are compliled from people he knows and are friends with. I feel like I have taken bits of that into my book as well. There are lots of cheesy white films out that I wonder…how did THIS get okay’d into Hollywood Production *case in point Must Love Dogs* and I think my book could truly be something that people would enjoy seeing on screen. Maybe I’m just having high hopes. But we’ll just have to see. I saw Fantastic Four last night. I had to keep reminding myself that it was based on a comic book, but I just couldn’t keep my lips sealed when the Thing went straight home to his wife after he mutated without breaking the news to her on the phone from the lab then sending her a picture by picture phone and then seeing her reaction. He wasn’t one for tact obviously. Nevertheless, it was a good film. I enjoyed the two hour diverson. I believe I’ve been rambling as I tend to do so as always in parting I wish you love, peace and mizzabztractsooooooooool.

  1. I hope they don’t mess up the homecoming like they messed up the Greek in Philly. Ever year it’s some bull. I wanted to see that movie. I didn’t know it was based on a comic book.
