Will Smith has done it again!  Hancock was a huge success with a $66 million dollars opening weekend, not including the $41.3 million earned between the debut on Tuesday and the weekend.  This is Will’s 5^th movie released on the 4^th of July weekend, the total of $107.3 million was Will Smith’s best opening.   Congrats Mr. Smith.

“Thought he told you that he won’t stop.”

But while I’m on the topic of Will Smith, I just wanted to take this time to acknowledge how fine this young black man is. 

He is in my opinion under the definition of perfection. 

He is fine as all possibilities, he’s tall, has a great body and smart and funny.  Another awesome thing about this man, he has never compromised his character.  He has always held himself in a positive light, never let the hip hop game persuade him and he has never acted like a baboon on camera.  He has been a positive role model throughout his career and that says a lot in this day and age.  In addition to all that- he is absolutely fine!

Is Jada lucky or what?     I had a crush on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air since I was like 8 years old; I mean any junior high friend can tell you I used to say I was the Princess of Bel-Air.  Of course I outgrew that crush, but I have still adored this man for all his talents and great looks ever since.  So again- I was just taking the minute to show homage to the greatness known as Will Smith. 

(Sorry fellas who didn’t want to hear that)

‘Just my thoughts.  Just what I was feeling at the time, right or wrong’

I am not a club chick typically- meaning I am not the girl that feels a need to go to every club and partake in wild nights in NYC.  Dont get me wrong, I know a night on the town can be fun; but I just cant do the club scene too often.  Quite honestly, I usually have very little patience for the club scene, the touching guys and the sometimes drunk and wanting to be catty girls.  I think the ‘drunk in the club’ look isnt becoming for any lady, nor is the catfighting (although I understand both can happen to the best of them).  SO- I have chosen to minimize my club visits to minimize my chances of dealing with the nonsense that comes with it.  HOWEVER- every now and then a night to just get out, get your dance on, hang with your folks and just enjoy the moment is always therapeutic.  I think its almost very much needed every once in a while.  To faithfully go a few times a week or every weekend I think becomes pretty lame, especially after a certain age (like college) :) .  After a while you have to ask yourself what are you expecting to get from the club and how much of that scene do you need to feel ‘hip’.   

The club can be filled with broke guys, chicks who spent their last on the outfit they bought to wear to the club, guys just looking to floss but live with their mothers, baby mama’s who need to be home with their kids and a bunch of other people who is looking to ‘look a certain way- in the club.’    I’d be a lot more impressed with these people if they knew how to stay out of the club, if they could manage to still ‘appear’ like somebody’s out of the club.  When they finally outgrow the club and they end up yelling at the bouncers- screaming ‘Your’e just a doorman’ like in the movie Knocked Up- they’ll finally get it. 

I say all that to say I was in the club Friday night!!  LOL 

It was more a bar/lounge.  Nice spot.  This was one of my therapeutic nights I was speaking of.  Hadnt been out in quite some time, my girlfriend was in town wanted to get out, me and the mister wasn’t having our best time; a good night out was just what I needed to solve everything. 

I was especially happy I went because not only did I support my good friends who promoted the event, but I got to see some of my old co-workers.  I was particularly happy to see Dj Envy, its been a minute that we just talked it up.  We used to talk like everyday about everything.  There are those people in life you just love and respect no matter what- DJ Envy is one of those people for me.  I was glad to see him and Mike Gimmel, and catch up on things.  It was a good night.  Party was cool, no fights, good music, no drama.  We didnt close the club down though.  One of my friends had to drive to Boston in the morning, the other who IS Caribbean said it got too ‘caribbean’ for her.  (Dont ask.)

In the next few months when I decide to surface on the club scene it will hopefully be as worth it as it was at this event.

Yesterday I attended an Obama Supporters Mixer in Nassau.  Joseph Coryat and his wife organized this event at Spices Restaraunt on Grand Ave to allow the supporters of Obama to come together and discuss ways to get his message out.  I met Joseph at Hofstra Law while I was the Vice President of the Black Law Students Organization, he came to speak to our organization about career options.  His wife, Valdar is the head of the grassroots committe for Obama’s campaign in Nassau. 

There were politicians, law students, lawyers, press, and die hard Obama supporters present to express their intentions to help keep Obama’s hopeful message relevant.  It was very humbling to see this community come together, all races and ages, for one common purpose.  It truly made you realize what exactly a president like Obama was capable of, without even having the position YET.  His message alone has resonated and made people see differently and its beyond impressive and inspiring.

The event was great and there will be many more.  If you are interested in attending log onto www.BarackObama.com

Valdar, the organizer, had on the cutest little jacket over her top and pants.  It was a light material and it was knee length.  It was a cute piece, but I didnt get a chance to ask her where she got it from- sorry.
