Update From The Mind of The Christian Brotha

1) The Emmys - Entertaining. Kind of boring though. I think the highlight of the night was when Kanye came on stage with Rainn Wilson. I was happy to see a win for "The Sopranos" and Helen Mirren though as well as America Ferrera (although I'm not an Ugly Betty watcher).

2) Zoe Saldana The New Star Trek Woman - Yep. She'll be playing in the New Star Trek movie. I am a fan of DS9 and the original, so I'll probably check the movie out just because she is in it.

3) Kanye West Whips Curtis In Album Sales - I purchased Graduation on Itunes when it arrived in the Itunes store. I have not yet bought 50's new 1 and probably won't. I have bought Kanye's previous 2 but this one surpasses them both (well almost....College Dropout is still the best out of the trio, but I have found myself listening to it more & more since I bought it. The key tracks of course besides Stronger are #2, 5, 9, 10 & 11 and of course, Homecoming, which many feel is lacking. Barry Bonds comes in as a listened to track however, Lil Wayne does nothing for the track. But it is still a good song. This is not an album review though, just a short yarn regarding Kanye's Graduation, which by the way Music Choice calls it Graduation [Day] on the Stronger & Good Life videos.

4) Jennifer Nettles Crying On Her Video Stay - Yep. Real tears too. I am a Sugarland fan and the Stay song is one of the best on Enjoy The Ride. Many fans have wondered why they released Everyday America before this one, but I must use that old phrase again, save the best for last. But the song is emotional though.

5) I Finally See The YouTube Video of The Dr. Price Correction - Apparently, 20/20 apologized to Dr. Price, who is a big time preacher here in LA and not to mention one of many WOF preachers who has torn down many sacred cows in the church. I guess when he announced he was suing them they said no way no how. I think the case is still pending (this was back in late July.)

Life has many parts -
