Confessions From A Black Rose

Slut! Whore! Bitch! Home Wrecker! Skank! Those are just examples of words that I hear on the daily basis by women who have been scorned by their lovers. They often voice their frustrations at the "other" women. She is the reason my man strayed. We were doing fine before she came along. Blah Blah Blah excuse after excuse. I find myself always amuse at these rantings. It never ceases to amaze why more women do not address the real culprit of the situation , their lovers. It was their boyfriend/husband/lover/whatever who stepped out in the relationship. No one force him to do it? We all have a choice to be faithful and he choose not too. It is the truth, it sucks but its reality. Of course the situation gets more complicated if it was someone close to you who was involved in the affair. That kind of betrayal is hard to get over. Leaves you wondering which hurts more the betrayal from your lover or your friend? That's a tough one to answer. Regardless it was your partner th

Lately I have been thinking about commitment. What does it mean. when you commit to someone? Are your promising forever? Are you promising loyalty? Are you promising I will be faithful until... You can fill the blank with anything. Another person, we drift apart,I get bored with you blah blah blah. Commitment, such a big and if I am being completely honest scary word. I am not to sure people know the meaning of that one, especially when it comes to marriage(lifetime partnership). Maybe I am a little naive but I feel that when you choose to commit to someone you are committing yourself wholeheartedly. If you know in advance that is something you cannot do, be honest with your partner. Do not have them believing your half ass promises. In the end you both just suffer when it could have all been avoided.

So last night I decided to watch an independent film. First of all the previews looked intriguing and lets be honest it stars the amazing Joseph Gordon Levitt. I have always loved JGL but after seeing Inception , I was just in awe of him. Do we have any 3rd Rock from the Sun fans? I grew up on that show. Angels in the Outfields and was my favorite film as a child 10 Things I hate about you is a film that I am passionately in love with. So I am a long time fan. So naturally I want to watch more of his recent performances. So I decided to watch Mysterious Skins last night. Now this film is a hard film to watch, i think hard does not even describe it. I thought Precious was disturbing, that was an ice cream sundae compared to Mysterious Skins . The rape scene horrified me and raised many questions in my head. How in the world do you do that to someone? Were you not loved as a child? Just confused. Don't even get me started on the coach. I feel there is a special place in hell burni

Aw summer time! Time for family BBQ, beach outings, trips to local amusement parks and hot summer nights at the movies. Summer time is probably the most exciting time for movie lovers and by movie lovers i mean myself. The films came in all shape and sizes. There are the blockbusters, indies, comedies, animated films and rom com you name it. Unfortunately this summer offers did not leave me satisfied. Times are getting rough and going to the movies is almost turning into a luxury. Wasn't there a $20 ticket that rose this summer? My point exactly, going to the movies is not a cheap affair. I want to leave the theatres without feeling like I wasted my money. I want to be thoroughly entertained. I admit that I have been spoiled recently by some great films. Avatar made me look at sci fi/fantasy films in a different light. It is safe to say I really was spoiled by that film. Thanks a lot James Cameron for raising the bar for me. How To Train a Dragon made me think about animated film
