Akeelah and the Bee

Wow! I have got to get better at bloggin’ here at NewKarma. I’ve been bloggin' on my MySpace but I haven’t blogged here in awhile. Tonight I decided to rent Akeelah and the Bee on Comcast ON DEMAND and let me just say this is the best movie I’ve ever seen in my life! This movie is an inspiration and I just can’t believe that I didn’t see it sooner!

One message that is very prevalent in this movie is the fact that we are sometimes afraid to try to succeed because we are afraid of all that come with success. Especially blacks! I have to make sure the rent this movie when my son is here

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! I am 37 years old. Now some people may think that this means that I should start feeling like I’ve lived my life and that I should start preparing for retirement. But I don’t! In fact, I feel pretty damn good about being closer to 40 than I am to 30.

A friend asked me today…

”So Anjai, How old are you today? 21?

I smiled and replied….

”21??? No darlin’ I am 37 .. I was young and dumb when I was 21, I am older and wiser now and proud of it!”

So how did I spend my 37^th birthday?

Surrounded by men with a good cigar and a FatBurger. My day was filled with well wishes and respect. I am well on my way to planning my 40^th bash.

It was a nice evening
Happy Birthday to Me!
