To me this life is filled with pleasure
Nothing sizes her up to my measure
Small girl but powers lay in the head of her
One man to the next woman she has elaborate plans
If this man doesn’t know how she’ll find one that can
Journals are written she’s at the mercy of his daunting hand
Incest, Cheating, stealing its a wonder how she escaped wedding bands
Well I have looked at almost every one of my classmates blogs trying to obtain a general consensus on what we think about the movie. It seems that not everyone was ready to see this movie. I think many of the students in this class are uncomfortable by the vast amounts of sex scenes. I don’t know if this shows a lack of maturity our if this shows what society has told us about sex. Im going to lean more towards society condemning sex and making it seem like something that should not take place. To me sex is a big thing but it is not something that makes me uncomfortable to see.
As for the movie itself I think there is an excessive amount of sex scenes and if this was really how Anais lived that is crazy. I guess she had some experiences that many of us would call unreal but I find it hard to follow the plot of the movie. I guess she just meets different people and seduces them with her charm and a new adventure starts from there. It is interesting that Anais would even want to make her personal life known to the world like this. I don’t see what would drive her to do so.
Well on Wednesday we will see the final scenes of the movie and I must say I am interested to see what happens. The movie has just reached the point where Anais is bouncing around with different people one after another. I wonder if the movie is headed towards disaster or she will be able to keep her scheme under control.
In class I had said I was not really interested in the book Middlesex and I have been thinking about that statement. I think I am not as into this book as I was with the Color Purple because there seems to be a lot of details that I feel are extra so to speak. All of the happenings that go on before Cali is born is an interesting way to narrate the story. However I know that you did warn us that the book was unorthodox in delivery. I am not a reading fanatic but as I continue reading, the book is taking a turn that I think will be more enjoyable for me. I have a little less than half of the book left to read but at this point I don’t really see where the story has been leading me to. I am sitting here feeling like I have no clue what will come next but it is not a suspenseful wait. As of right now I will still categorize the book as boring.
A Little kid so confused
Rolling up to a shop thats broke and bruised
Could of got shot but its nothing new
The cities been rioting through and through
So what to do
I could sit back and leave my daddy
But thats not in my future
I see us riding in an all black caddy
He’ll make money
And we’ll enjoy our insurance policy kindly
Sometimes I sit and I wonder what I would be with out my thunder
My parents are who I look towards
They are the ones who continue to pull my rip cords
Like a micro machine I zip forward one look at them I see something to live for
Time flys by when I sit at school,
Every return home my parents age like wooden stools
It’s funny to me because they still look young,
I hope this is the fate that I am sprung
Energy from them I receive
So I will continue to push forward I will not recede
Nope no transplant here head still hairy
Call me Clark Kent sun drawn energy, I’ll be krypton destined cleary
Well what I have noticed so far while reading this book is that Lefty and Desdemona have things to offer Detroit. Left has been a versatile man since the two have landed on American soil. Lefty has worked in a car factory, has been an alcohol smuggler and he has even learned to exploit the curves of woman. Who would have thought he would be able to diversify himself in a time when it was hard to make money. Even though it is a time of depression the couple doesn’t seem to find it hard to make a living. Granted Lefty works 7 days a week and long hours, they are still making it.
Desdemona is as much of a worried as Lefty as well. She does not complain to Lefty’s faces when he demands that she is to seek employment. Instead she goes ahead and takes everything in stride. With some help from Lina she goes straight into the ghetto, although unknowingly. and finds the place where she obtains all the knowledge to help bring prosperity to her new found place of employment. She too is worth more to her family while she works instead of being a stay at home mother.
I can definitely appreciate the courage and strength it takes to make, essentially something out of nothing. I relate because I feel my parents have created an amazing life for me, my brother, and my sister. My parents are immigrants from Ghana and when my dad came to Canada he didn’t have anything. All he had were friends, a skill, and he began to build his and my mother life from scratch. As I sit here in the comfort of my cosy bedroom in Canada over this thanksgiving break it amazes me to think about how much work my parents have done to obtain all we have today. My dad is a story-teller and he has told me many times about all the adventures he has gone through to get to this point and that is where I draw my strength from when I run into something challenging.
Not conforming to the norm doing my own thing
you wear diamonds I rock my own bling
You characterize your self as typical
Im off on my own wing
I prefer to fly you walk and smile looking prime and proper
Im not really with that I get sick and stay away from the doctor
Fashion designers say I have my own style
Your worried bout staying fit and trim go run another mile
Talking about the weird things about me that people might now think is normal. I talked to my group about a thing that is not perceived to be normal for a man to do would be to receive a pedicure. However I do not receive pedicures at this moment because I do not have the money to continuously receive them. I am willing to say that if I did have the resources to receive a pedicure twice a month I would. In class we related the word queer not in just a sexual sense but also the way people act or do not act. We talked about queer as being different in some way and me have urge to receive pedicures came to mind.Personally I couldn’t tell anyone what is different about me but I’m sure people looking from the outside in could find somethings odd about me. I am a self-proclaimed weird person haha my personality when you get to know me is one that is a little cooky. I had to use that word because I feel it best describes what I am talking about.
Oh ya Ko I fucking feel ya,
They be listening to the voice like its unfamiliar,
I’m wit it,
I feel it,
To me there’s nothing clearer,
To much of us will bloat ya,
Just enough to fill ya,
But when I bleed
Everybody gonna gather here
A lot of yall aint developed
To me im past here
Always looking for change
But wont find no bagger here
The world needs knowledge
I got a whole fuckin stash here
Nothing for my thoughts arrested by the feds
Got a court date pushed back but I cried in my bed
Take my life to serious ya hate me
Coz I got off all my charges basically scott free
Yeah
I made mistakes but I’m revived for it
So a lawyer a doctor I could strive for it
Past incidents I never press rewind for it
As long as I’m alive I’m always gonna apply for it
Yeah I want things to go my way
But life’s been moving slow buying clothes from Byway
And my brother got smart moved outside the home
I been smokin all alone
I aint catch him in the driveway
He’s a big boy he 6″2
I’m 5″9 so aint much that I could do
What if it was as hour before I blow up
Would reef still be able make me fly hold up up
Damn all this thinking make me sleep in
And even when I get 8 hours rest them bags set in
I do a lot of thinking making sure I’m not a dead man
Aint no coffin yet so I no I’m not holdin his hand
My fam love me and thats why my skin glow
And right now my house is eminiating with a bright glow
Life aint changing every week so I should
live wit the incas at the peak though wats good
Cause
Pops the one I call a decent man
Always and forever he extending out his reachin hand
His second boy always reaching for a pizza pan
Looking for the dough to extend out on a family plan
Playing baseball I’m everything and more
I’m scoring on the fields in many ways then before
but chances to impress the scouts are slowly coming short
Diging in the vault to pull out everything in store
Yeah, call me captain of my destiney
And call me not everyones momma gotta be excepting me
And fans of these seniors is about to be uplifting me
Im in my last year aint nothing gonna deminish me
Ima kill it I promise you know I love you dad
Always treated me well so at least I owe you that
Ima man being on the road is a must
I just hope I didn’t ask you to much
