A night with the ROMEOWS

Sound familiar? Romeo?...Romeos?...
well that's what I thought at first when my Friend Kevin Raman told me about a project he was working on. as it turns out, it is ROMEOWS...capital letters. Retired Old Men Eating Out on Wednesdays.
I have had the privilege to have sat on the first preview. It was fantastic! And I am not saying this because he happens to be a close friend....but because I was laughing, and feeling tagged to share the story of the ROMEOWS. I am a hard person to please when it comes to media. There are movies I never watch twice because as much as they are celebrated, they are rubbish. But for the first cut, I applaud Kevin.
You know when you have a friend, and you know what they do, but really have never seen their work in full...that was me on tonight. I sat there amazed at the skill that it took to put all kinds of material into a story that made sense. I happen to have paid attention in my media class to have a little appreciate on the the amount of work that went into the production of that. I mean For the work of one camera, the angles and the ability to capture the heart of moment with a slight move of a camera angle was superb. Don't let me talk about editing. It was done with such fluidity that the transition from one frame to another flowed nicely.
I know Kevin will say that there is much more work to be done, but so far so good. I am shopping for my dress now...:) I know this will be a success. Not only does the film have some soul, but it carries lessons that we could all do to learn. ( I will wait until the film is out for further review on lessons)
When you do go to see it, please make sure you either ate before, or have some plans to go out afterwards. I left the viewing with a strong urge for some Moroccan food. I take that back actually. I left the viewing with Sahara in my mind. For truly, staying faithful to their name the ROMEOWS eat!

The Samoans need a break for Once

I can't think of a group of people who have experienced much heartache that is water related that these people. YOu have to wonder, what keeps them coming back?

Not bitter just observational

There is this whole idea that I might be bitter about men. (If I was, I would not be the first woman to be so- watch A Diary of a Mad Black Woman :) Why do guys think this? well because I am not giving them an easy time to get into my pants, and maybe because I can see through their BS. I do not consider myself a feminist, but I am also weary of men who play macho, and want to have the whole pie.
I observe people, and that has become a useful trait in this city that I live in.
Women who do not bend to the rules of a manly society are not shown with kindness. And sometimes termed as lesbians.

You see, men are used to getting their way. They are patient, they are cajoling, and they are really smarter than we want to give them credit for. But they are also what my father would term as Snakes! they will come quietly but their bite is deadly, if it doesn't kill you.

Women have worked so hard to counter against this, but to no gain. They are still the preys, and I imagine it will be so for a long time.

hello

Hi,
this is my new blog. This is going to be all about everything. Truly, about anything.
I find that I am very interested in a lot of things, that I have to create a blog that can be dedicated to anything and everything.
I have two other blogs, that are sorely dedicated to either politics, or HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Therefore, I decided that I needed a blog that is dedicated to my other passions like dancing, cooking and the mere enjoyment of arts (theater, movies, film making...etc)

There is no way to describe this blog really, but when It evolves, I will have a definite answer for that
