You know i have stayed away from this subject for a while. I have not blogged about World Cup since it begun..I did not want to join my husband daily on his crazy outbursts about how all those African teams had chances and they kept on blowing it up…How that  Sani Kaita from Nigeria kicked that player from Greece and gets a red card leaving his team mates to play their guts out pretty much the entire game! That being said,  i had to watch today’s game. Naturally, I am a US fan, but  obviously a Ghana fan too.

Today, I wanted the Ghanaians to win. The world cup is held in S. Africa. We all know where all the other Africa teams ended up in…the sidelines.  Ghana’s win was not only for those young men in that national team. It was a win for every other country in Africa. It was a win for all of us of African descent spread all over this world.  I have to give it to them, for a moment there i didn’t think they could beat the US Team.

This game kept me on my toes, especially the last 30 min.  It was sad watching the US lose, seeing some of the players shed tears…Watching the star player Donovan walk away from the field, exchanging jerseys with one of the Ghanian players and not even look at his face, but it is all part of the game. You win some, you lose some. Honestly, just for today , i wanted Ghana to win.

Congratulations to Ghana, and thank you for putting Africa back on the play list, and for heavensake play the game like you played today in that  Keep the drama off the field, Play like you have never played before. You beat a good team today, so, you have to take that and go win it again!

I mean  the US Team really owned that second quarter…I was really nervous there for a moment, they  played well. Great game!

Go Ghana! Good luck! For Heavens sake, play for Africa this time, so whatever you do, know you are representing all of us. We are rooting for you.

Here are my girls representing at the Oscars last night. I loved her performance in the movie PRECIOUS , it is great she was nominated, however i WANTED her to win so bad, but oh well…What better way than to just be nominated in the same class as Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock etc. For a first  movie, i mean she got the PART to kick off her movie career, so bravo and many congratulations to her.

Orprah looks really good too, she has definitely lost some weight, and i love the dress Gabby wore definitely complements her figure! You go girls!

So I am sitting here catching up on my emails and i happen to catch Michael Vic’s speech to young kids and i could not have agreed more with what he was saying.  He said ” it is very easy to do the wrong things and it is very hard doing the right things “  He told the young kids to use him as an example and make sure that they strive to do the right things.  I like the fact that he took ownership of his mistake and is using that to educate others of how easy you can drop from the top and  find yourself hitting the ground face down if you just take the wrong turn somewhere. It doesn’t matter how famous, rich, poor, or big you are when you get caught up in scandals you have to pay a price. For Vic he found himself serving time,  and he is having to prove that he is as good as he used to be as a quarterback and yes, someone gave him a second chance.

As for Tiger Woods…that is another star athlete caught up in a scandal. It doesn’t matter how good he was at his sport, how much money people have made off him. Some big sponsors already cut him off, and the sad thing what happened was more between him and his wife, but no one cares about that ..privacy. ..All that was all folded up in the highly priced package of fame. You can’t afford to stray and get away with it. Now of course he has a marriage to fix and a public to please…He is still rich, but he is also human, all that still affects him.

Time will pass, people may not forget, but fans will always find away to forgive them.. it will take some time and with their God’s given talent still intact, they will emerge stronger, hope wiser and with some comeback!

So am watching All stars and i see Shakira perform… Is it just me ? or does Shakira look on this new video looks more and more like Beyonce.

I know sexy looks pay more,  and i know what Shakira wore tonight was just  a costume, but please… families are watching these events. Families have teens watching this shows and Shakira should have covered up a little.  I wonder what people are going to say about this, all those dancers in their costume lingeries… Remember how annoyed people got during Janet Jackson’s  and JT  mishap? Well.. let’s wait and see..

Alicia Keys was fully dressed.. very decent, and she was still sexy and lovely performance.

Shakira, you should have covered up a bit!

And the Saints won the super bowl! I am relieved actually. I could not take to see them lose, the entire city of New Orleans was praying fo this, and given what had happened during Katrina, i can go to sleep happy tonight, because no one deserved this win better than those Saints.

So here’s to you . Who dat? who dat?  Goo Saints! Congratulations on your win. Peyton Manning has been a winner before, so this was a long time coming for the saints… I am a very big fan of Peyton but tonight i wanted Drew Brees to take home the win and they did.

Yaay to those Saints!

I know am not the only fan of this show out there, mmmh. This is the only one show i have gotten my husband addicted to. He was the one who actually reminded me about it yesterday. I still loove Jack Bauer!  I mean we can’t get enough of this guy. I want to own all the season DVDs, this is one of the shows that i do not mind watching over and over again.

I wanted to reach out and choke that new head of CTU, lol.  It is good to see Chloe is back and as usual we love her brains. Bauer’s daughter, Kim scares me. Now that there is a grand daughter in the picture, i am  yearning to know how they are going to play her. You know a twist will come up.  Well…Everytime Kim- Jack Bauer’s daughter shows up,  it complicates  things.

I hope the writers will let Jack Bauer have a relationship, a successfully relationship this time!  Either way. I am hooked!

So you all know am  a huge fan of TP. This movie finally came out on DVD so i was able to watch it. TP, i must admit this was not what i had expected. The dvd had so much advertisements, much more than his past DVDs. You are talking about a mother here of a 7 month old baby that doesn’t sleep that much at night. So by the time i got past all the ads, the baby wakes up. I could not find that dang remote to fast forward pass them.

The movie had a lot of big name stars. Taraji Henson did a good job , i loved the scene with her niece trying to beg her to let her live with her. That got me in tears.  I missed the comedic touch that is usually in a lot of his past movies. I would have loved a mix of his old cast- Mr Brown would have been a great addition.  Madea character did ok, but of course  we can never have enough comedy.

Overall, it was an ok movie. It just felt as if, someone else wrote the script and just gave TP a part to play. If you have seen all his  past movies you will understand what i mean.

I know words can’t beigin to  explain what kind of damage that this already poor country has encountered after the deadly earthquake struck.

100,000s  of people are reported dead. little children lay lifeless under buildings, people walking on the streets covered in blood and white dust… Talk about one of the biggest earthquakes striking the earth…I know most people in Haiti right now would probably ask, why them?

Scientists will probably have a better explanation. Some belive this type of quake may hit Haiti or Jamaica again within the next 20 -40 years! 

So yes, my prayers are with the many families affected. 

Only God can bring us peace and healing!

Brittany Murphy and Simon Monjack

This photo and news  were reported on People.com.

Oh Snap! I loved this girl! I loved her characters. Apparently her mom found he collapsed in her bathroom on Sunday, the Doctors said she died from cardiac arrest. They have to perform an autopsy to truly find out the cause of death.

Her husband Simon Monjack, a photographer, denies any allegations of drug use, or stories about Brittany being anorexic, in stead he stated that Brittany was trying to gain more weight, but has a high metabolism, and that they had plans to have a baby next year. Aaaw,  how sad she didn’t get to do this.

Man,  she was only 32 yrs old this is truly sad and devastating. You know when someone is sick for a long time or is at a very old age, you at least get mentally prepared for that day when you will have tgo say goodbye, but all this sudden deaths….aargh. Oh well, it is all part of this journey and God’s plan for us on earth.

My sympathies, to the entire  family and friends of Brittany, may her Soul rest in Peace!

For the rest of us, let her death be a reminder that our life on earth is just loaned to us, so let’s try to live a good, happy life. Let’s be thankful for everyday, spend time with those we love every chance we have, and of course fall in love with someone or just life!

Happy Hollidays!
