Fam Bam Time
Last weekend my stepsister had her baby shower.
I swear every time I get around a preggo or babies, I want a new one. That feeling doesn't last more than 30 minutes, though!
I had an awesome time hanging out with my step siblings and biological paternal family. I don't see them enough.
With my cousin, Lisa-I stay carrying my camera bag like a purse lol
Cuzo, my sister, me
My (step) brothers!
No baby shower cake for me but my niece, Aaliyah ate enough for the both of us. lol
I have to do better at seeing my family more than just at special occasions. We had such a good time.
I Must Be Getting Old...
...because like my mom, I don't like when movies are remade. I can handle remixed classic music (or flat out stolen-ala Kanye) but leave my movies alone. My mom introduced me to Sparkle when I was about 16 and I've been in love ever since.
I have no desire to see the new Sparkle in the movie theater, but since my boo Derek Luke is playing Stix, I will catch it on Red Box.
I watched the original on Youtube last night.
My favorite lines/scenes....
(1) Love this song & performance
(2) Announcer: "Some neighborhood kids got together and started a new group. So here they are without further ado...that sensational singing group-The Farts."
Stix: "The HARTS!"
Announcer: "I..I mean The Harts"
(3) Sparkle: I ain't never been in a hotel room before."
Stix: "We getting too big to be making love on the roof....besides it's getting too cold." lol
(4) Sparkle: Give you a chance? Wanna know something funny? When you first left, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to live without you. Yeah, I used to sit in this room and wondered if I would ever get through another second. Can you imagine a person so unhappy? To not know if they'd live through another second? I got through the second, Stix. Minutes, days, months, weeks. I'm doing fine without you. Just fine."
(5) Mama: "He's just gonna drag you to the gutter with him."
Sister: "The gutter? How can you say that? He's as big time as you can get."
The soundtrack is awesome and Sparkle & Stix's chemistry is fiyah!
Ms. Waters was too nosy, I wanted to fight Satin, and I hate how Sister did Levi. *sigh*
Are you planning to see the new Sparkle?
Music in My Ears: "Just Me & You" Tony! Toni! Tone!
Remember this one? From The Boyz in the Hood soundtrack...
I remember sneaking to watch this movie the summer of 5th grade. *shaking my head*

"I love black thighs, you sisters better realize
The real hair and real eyes get real guys
So before you makeup your face, you better make up your mind "
Speaking of make-up, I purchased lipstick for the first time in years. I had the tube on my night stand and Alvin wanted to what it was. lol I told him and he asked, "Why do you have it?" He play too much. I know he's right though.
