Fame 2009, Not Comparable To Fame 1980

-
This past weekend I went to see "Fame" and I liked it. Even though I like the remake of "Fame" it did not stand up to the original. First off the fame remake was not long enough to sufficiently follow students through all the experiences of a four year art school experience. The original "Fame" took the time to establish and evolve the characters so that the audience my empathize with the situations the characters are going through. One of my other issues with the 2009 version of this movie is that it was not ballsy enough to go the extra mile ( ie.What Coco *1980* goes through during her "audition" was brutal by comparison to what happened to Kay*2009*). The remake of "Fame" would have been fine as a stand alone movie though it should have never been so bold as to try and sell itself with "Fame" as its title.

At Last My Love Had Come Along

I brought these posts out of the vault in celebration of hubby and I being a couple for 5 blessed years! How We Met On May,4th,2006 there was a 20% off Mother's Day event in the store that I work and a few days prior (one day before I was scheduled to move into my current residence) my boss had me hand out flyers to all the stores. On my venture to hand out the flyers I came upon a kiosk in the mall that does printer cartridge refills and I handed the flyer to Jason (the manager). When handing the flyer to the Jason I smiled my most brilliant smile (I was in sales mode) and said my rehearsed piece (so as not to stumble over my words like usual). Later that day Jason came into the store and pre-made a basket for his mother with my help and came in and bought the basket on the day of the 20% off event. While we looked over the merchandise I found out I knew his sister (I used to give her facials when I worked at a spa) and that he was an exceptionally nice man. I made him a...

So Sweet You'll Want To Vomit,Deal With It..lol...

J and I have been told by others that we are that couple that are so sweet it makes them want to vomit and that is alright by me, in fact I am proud of it. Not only do I have the best man ever but he saved my life. During the accident I was unconscious and he held my head above water while he had a freshly broken collar bone. J and I had to experience the horrific what if one of us had died that day *shudders* and that only further solidified our boundless love. Here I sit approximately three and a half years after "J" and I got together with less than a year to our wedding day and I am head over heels. I never knew that I could give my whole heart to someone and have it handled with such care. It is wonderful not to have to protect a piece of my heart at all times! Every day he makes me laugh, he spoils me in little ways and he compliments me all the time! At times I wonder how did I ever get so lucky?
