In Other News

So I haven't written anything in the past few weeks. Haven't had the time really, and with the nominal hits to my website, I felt as though I could wait to write something. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about life. I feel like I am in a standstill, where nothing is happening. It would seem as though I am still in transition. I kinda wondered if I am alone in feeling this way. I am happy, just not satisfied. I thought about entering to appear on Def Poetry, whenever that comes back. I've got many poems to share. Perhaps it's just winter. Maybe the weather really does affect your mood.
In other news, nods to Jennifer Hudson, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy and Forest Whittaker for getting nominations for the Oscars. I hope Hudson and Murphy win. I haven't seen The Last King of Scotland, so I cannot judge on Whittaker's performance, but I have seen The Pursuit of Happyness, and Will Smith did an excellent job. I haven't been keeping up on the music scene lately....been kinda listening to music other than Hip Hop. I do like Common's "A Dream" and Omarion's "Ice Box," but as far as all this other garbage that is being spewed out on radio nowadays, I am ecstatic that I made the decision to get Sirius and have an Ipod, which is still running. Yep the 2nd Generation thing is still running. I've grown an appreciation for CSI Miami and New York and wasn't impressed with Dirt. I like Courtney Cox, but the storyline was a little trite. I found myself flipping through the channels during the show. I had more fun watching the Weather Channel than that. No offense to those of you out there who've watched it. I was researching ways to make money online and found it and have been making a decent profit, which is good.
In other news, Congress is finally waking up to Bush's foolishness. It was a long time comin - hopefully they do not approve of his sending more troops to fight a war that is pointless. He didn't get many Democratic standing ovations when he delivered his State of The Union. Poor George. In closing, I refer to Steve Coleman's poem, "....the terrorists call themselves George, Dick and Rudy, so the next time you see one kick him in his booty, it's not only your right as an American, but your patriotic duty."
