I woke up @ 1030 this morning, got up and put sex and the city the movie in my dvd player. mind you, this movie is wonderful. The reason why I'm so intrigued by sex and the city is because, i feel like i can relate. i know im about a decade or two younger than the girls, but it makes me wonder, if i can relate to these women because its happened to me before, and theyre still going through it at 30, 40 even 50 years old, then... is this how it's really going to be forever? Carrie said "Enjoy yourself. That's what your 20s are for. Your 30s are to learn the lessons ; your 40s are to pay for the drinks." And in my opinion, thats some great advice and I think i'll be taking that one and engraving it in my brain. Thank You Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha for always giving me something to relate to no matter what age, AND being honest about it <3. Post sex&the city movie, i found an old photograph album that happened to belong to my mother, dated December 14, 1985-January 06, 1986. A what, two.. three week vacation back the motherland after a move to North Hollywood a few years back? As I was looking through the album, I realized how fantastic and wonderful the old pictures looked. Even the way people and things were posed and looked actually was more appealing in a fabulous vintage sort of look. Old polaroids, text written on the page, throughout the page stating what was going on at that time, where and with whom. There were old bus tickets, old stubs, just extremely old things still looking brand new in this album. 
It got me to thinking, have we forgotten the beauty in manual photographs? not digitalized but processed film and toners and chemicals and the affects of light? why don't we write on our pictures anymore? why have we taken processed film for granted? the craze on digital shit is pretty intense though. It's crazy, seeing my mothers life in a way I've never seen it. Seeing all of my relatives who are now working adults with families as little children and teenagers. It made me realize that, despite who you are, everyone has their own story. And i think, from now on, i'm going to photo album/scrapbook my life so when I'm older, my hand made, processed film will kick the asses of everyone else's digitalized photo slide show, and someone will see it's worth.
Just a little something:
Last night I found an old CD titled R&B Mix. I grabbed a beer, yes I drank the whole night even when I got home, and I sat and read the latest Victoria's Secret Magazine and listened to the cd. It was the funniest thing I've ever heard, not because the songs were bad (shoot, the songs were amazing! it was a very good cd, circa '05? im thinking) but because the songs were so old, and the theme really was "R&B: black people love songs". I loved it, and I just wanted to share that. haha. ANYWAYS.
