As I look back at the last twenty-five years of my life, I realize that I could not have asked for a more fascinating tale, filled with many antagonists, so many hits & misses, and very dedicated friends. I look at the family of me, my parents, and my brother. Somehow, for the time we all spend together, we have stayed a family. Other family members come and go, but it the long run, it's always the four of us. It's gonna be hard leaving the nest; even though it must be done. My brother talking me to death as I type, even he dreams of us moving out and living large. Little does he know that journey just might be a solo flight...
But as mi mum says, "all you have is your family."
Did you know that George Michael celebrates twenty-five years as a pop musician? That I found a very fascinating find, considering I actually listen to him, a lot.

This compilation is a great update to Ladies & Gentlemen. Flawless & This Is Not Real Love make the cut, while Monkey and Kissing A Fool are gone. Translation: Don't go selling Ladies & Gentlemen. You just may need it...
Casino Royale - 10 out of 10 - if you've yet to see this movie, don't be prejudiced by Daniel Craig's blond hair. It is worth the $10.75!! See the friggin movie!!
The Pursuit Of Happyness - 8.75 out of 10 - As a college graduate, I KNOW a thing or two about the struggle. If you have parents like mine, who kicked your ass at the possibility of you dropping out of college, then they'll teach you a thing or two about the struggle. If you still dunno about it, see this movie. A lot of people cried opening night, not realizing that it actually was that rough in the early 80s. It may not be that rough today; the struggle adapts and morphs to find itself in the 21st century, but trust me, you'll adapt to it in time.
As for Will Smith & son, the key to this flick's success is their relationship. Their scenes stole the show. Without it, it may not do that good. Do I see him winning the Golden Globes? Possibly, unless they actually award it to Forest Whitaker. Do I see him winning the Oscar...
As much I love his movies, no I don't.
See the film anyway. I found the ending to be most rewarding part.
Up next, Rocky Balboa.
I hope that should Rocky die, he dies after beating Dixon. Of course, in the name of keeping up with the original, that might not come to pass; being that the chase to the title is what made Rocky famous. But hey, you never know.

I Want You [Deluxe Edition]
In twenty five years, I've had one true relationship, several possibilities in the mix, one girl that got away, and a skank whose current boyfriend's insecurity can outrival Joan from Girlfriends. All in all, I may enter #25 still single, but my love for love music has yet to die. The full version should be on MySpace. But I can't find it...
Oooooooh it's too bad
it's just too sad
you don't want me now...
But I-hi'm gonna change your mind
someway, somehow...
oh baby!
I want you
the right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too...
I want you
to want me baby
Just...
...like I...
...want you...
oooh...
I pine for the day that I too will get to reinact this song...
Since after Thanksgiving, I've been trying to post something. This is what I started with:
I hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving!
To me, this year has gone incredibly fast to even realise that I'm approaching Christmas!
And this Christmas, I intend to extend my "Secret Santa" services to most of the crew compliment at my job. Yes, the same place I've been in the last three years. With some managerial changes, I can only hope that with that I'll get caught up in the rapture, and be promoted! As to the Secret Santa services, I'm gonna surprise some of the kittenz with a little something...
My Thanksgiving was nice and quiet. In the talks of the turkeys being to dry this year (must be the speed in time), we had lamb. Good stuff, very good stuff...
So what else have I been up to, besides lookin' good and looking for more commendations, which just might lead to my promotion?
Well, allow me to explain as I quote from my old ABOUT ME page:
Wow, dude! Some of the poems, err freelances, are really cool. Have you considered publishing your works, or maybe going to Def Poetry Jam or somethin'??
Yes. And No. Yes, I have considered publishing them; God knows how I'd feel if some jabroni out there is taking credit for my work. However, it is my belief that publicly expressed poetry, like those found in Def Poetry Jam, are done in a specific fashion, and get a specific reaction from the crowd. And my freelances don't cater to those responses. That's why I probably won't go public with my work. That doesn't mean the window is completely closed on the matter though; it is most likely one of my friends will encourage me to read one of freelances aloud, I in my restlessness will do it, and I might go big with it, or most likely get booed out the building. While chances are unlikely, they are stil possible, and very probable...

I'm going to bed. I'll finish this later on in the day...
