The Weekend

the movies are a nice escape from reality, for 2 and a half hours, one can get inside the mind of a killer, a thief, a poet, a hopeless romantic, a lost soul, or whatever roles the characters may play. "the world is a stage and everybody got to play their part"-Andre 3000. this is true, however, when it is on the big screen and it has nothing to do with your daily tasks/issues/events, its such a relief and deviation from the norm. i love going to the movies, i especially love going to live plays, but since i don't have much access to the types of plays i like to see, the movies pacify me. today i was able to go see a very suspenseful movie...and for those 2 and a half hours, i felt so thankful to be watching someone else's fictional life portrayed......i was also able to do a little therapy today....retail therapy that is!!----just wanted to talk about that for a minute

Inspired by.....ATL
does time really matter
when
distance is a factor
especially since you evoke so much laughter
it is soon
but who can really predict
when a flower will fully bloom
let it flow
let the inhibitions go
know what 'um talkin' bout?
i do,without a shadow
of a doubt
i am confident that you are too
that is why its up to me and you
to make it do what it should do

oooh, loved that ATL inspiration, was a nice read, keep doing what you doing.

i feel the same way about movies but only sometimes, i find nowadays however, art has been imitating life on such a hardcore level it's kinda shocking and a lil scary, depicting stuff that goes on in my own backyard, its like, you see things but you don't quite know, then u watch a movie and they delve into it and it's like wow, word up? is that how it goes down? not cool.

saw the lion king on Broadway the other nite, was so dope, the music the dancing and chorus, reminded me of my younger days, so i was living vicariously through the actors.

anyways, keep writing, stay positive and stay blessed.

i totally feel you about the movies, being an imitation of true, day to day life..it is kinda scary...but no need to fear..trusting GOD is the best option!

I LOVE broadway plays..only been to one, raisin in the sun, it's on my life agenda to go to broadway plays at least once/twice a year!
Glad you enjoyed lion king...sounds awesome!
