What's Really Hidden?

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. I really enjoyed myself, including last night where I started loosing those calories by playing my Dance Dance Revolution Game. I was sooo happy! I was not a champion at first. I am a little rusty. But once I was groovin', I was grooooovin'!!! I hope yo all got something you wanted and something you weren't expecting and something you expected by it still made you happy.

Well, onward in the conversation, I finally got to see King Kong and I have a couple of comments. So I heard about this whole hidden racism vibe. I mean if you want to stalk a film that was a cinamatic marvel then and is reigning as so now for hidden overtones you go right ahead. I mean if I took sooooo much time to analyze the subtle nuances that could mean there was a racist element to the film then sure I am sure I could find some. However, the bottm line is the cinematic experience. Do you walk away feeling disgusted? (ok discounting the creepy bug scenes.) Did you demand your money back because the film so blatantly hid racism? NO! You didnt. So is the film losing money over these "racist" tones? I don't think so. And it comes down to money. It talks. So if you went and saw for yourself and picked it apart and came out outraged, well then where is the protest? Where is the boycott? Where is the NAACP? I mean I can see it but guess what I don't have to. You don't have to. We don't have to. Not every movie, not every time. There doesn't have to be racism in everything.

But on a more important note, why is that damsel in distress does not count for black women really? More so, its that black men will NOT be seen running through jungles and fighting king kong, bugs, or giant flying monsters to save their woman. I mean in all these movies from Indiana Jones to Mission Impossible to even Independence Day which had a leading black man, there is not a black man to be found being heroic for his womanly counterpart. Even Denzel who could be considered the leading black man of our time period is chasing after Eva Mendes in Out of Time and Dakota Fanning in Man on Fire. These heroics are reserved for the white woman. Now if you want to talk about some racism, let's talk about that. That's the judgement I came to from King Kong. I mean for goodness sakes even Morgan Freeman who considers himself the leading male actor of our time and is definitely an African American male star works along side Ashley Judd's of the world. So you want to talk about hidden racism, that's not so hidden. It's more than aparent and guess what men - you are actually guilty of making art imitate life. Where is the black hero? If you meet him, let me know.

As I end my rant for right now, I would just like to say that men you can come back and read my blog. I will be bashing women at some point to cuz we need to get our acts together as well. As for now, I remain,
Down with racism,
Shemeka

Quick! Another quiz!

Alright here's one more quiz before I go - why? well because I fell into the trap of taking it so now you most definitely must see it.

Your Birthdate: February 12

You're a dynamic, charismatic person who's possibly headed for fame. You tend to charm strangers easily. And you usually can get what you want from them. Verbally talented, you tend to persuade people with your speaking and writing. You are affectionate and loving, but it's hard for you to commit to any one relationship. Your strength: Your charm Your weakness: Your extreme manipulation tactics Your power color: Indigo Your power symbol: Four leaf clover Your power month: December

What does your birthdate mean?

5 Shopping Days Left.....

Well apparently there are five days until you can't buy anything else worthy for a Christmas gift. I don't even agree with this statement but leave it to every advertisement and if you haven't bought anything by Saturday you might as well not bother because if you buy it after - it is destined to be worthless junk. We all know this isn't true. So why the torture? Why the stress of the last couple of days of shopping? Especially for the people you aren't even going to see on Christmas. They aren't going to know if you buy it on December 1st or December 28th and I bet they won't care as long as it isnt from "As Seen on TV." Now this store is filled with almost worthless junk 365 days a year.:-)

I must say that I am excited about my new blog space and hopefully this will actually post. I have been having some problems as of late but I am sure I have figured it all out.
And now for a quiz break.....

Your Seduction Style: Sweet Talker

Your seduction technique can be summed up with "charm"You know that if you have the chance to talk to someone...Well, you won't be talking for long! ;-) You're great at telling potential lovers what they want to hear.Partially, because you're a great reflective listener and good at complementing.The other part of your formula? Focusing your conversation completely on the other person. Your "sweet talking" ways have taken you far in romance - and in life.You can finess your way through any difficult situation, with a smile on your face.Speeding tickets, job interviews... bring it on! You truly live a *charmed life*

What kind of seducer are you?


Do you think this is true? Am I sweet talker? I think so but not in the way they describe it. But I certainly do seem to get what I want. And that is just half the battle.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying my new blog. More to come soon.
For now I remain,
sweetly yours,
Shemeka

Moving - le sigh

A Wash, A Complete and Total Wash
For my first blog on blog spot, I must say that surgery sucks. If you can at all help it people, stay healthy. Don't have to go into the hospital for anything; Not because hospital sucks actually, or the people in the hospital are mean, or that doctors aren't competent enough these days, it's just cuz that recovery is a pain in the butt. Not being able to do anything, plus not being able to do anything for yourself is actually just sad and pathetic. I wish I could get out of this house! I would go so far as to say that work would be better than this but then I would just be exaggerating because going to my job would never, ever be better than staying as far away from it as possible.

So the problem is that noone could ever read my other blog so I am in the process of finding a new blogging home. My best friend uses this to blog so I felt that it would be just as good for me too.

I figure since it is the end of the year that I really need to update my blog and finish transferring this thing!!! So here it is people the first real entry to my new blog on blogspot - yay!!! I hope to be at least a once weekly entry - i promise to try guys i promise!!! lol:-)
