Movie Recommendation: Hustle & Flow

Sunday, November 11, 2007

Its been a minute, but here's the latest movie recommendation.... Hustle & Flow. Starring Terrence Howard as a guy who is trying to make ends meet as a drug dealer/pimp. He realizes what his life has amounted to & with the help of DJ Qualls & Anthony Anderson's characters he tries to record a demo tape to become a hip hop star. You might remember this movie recieved lots of attention a couple years ago. It won an Oscar for one of the songs from the movie & Terrence Howard recieved a Oscar nomination for his efforts as the leading roll.

The movie is pretty rough/blunt. It shows alot of situations where Howard & his "business partner" sitting in a car waiting for guys to drive up for some action. There's some drug presence/use & even some fighting.

I know, after going back & reading this...if you've never heard of the movie before, you might think, "this sounds HORRIBLE, why would I watch it?" I'll admit its not for everyone, (Mom & Dad, you prolly wont like it :o) but some others should watch it & see an overall good movie.

Welp -- thats it! Go out & grab the movie, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Yes, ladies & gentlemen, It is official. Mel & I are going to be PARENTS! We found out a li'l while back & wanted to tell as many people as we could in person or through direct contact over the phone. For those of you who we have yet to contact, I do apologize for the informal announcement.

This is our first ultrasound picture as of 11/5/2007. I don't know if you can tell at the bottom, but according to the ultrasound picture, as of that date Mel was 6 weeks & 6 days along. She is obviously excited & I am as well. She has been awesome so far, not really having any problematic symptoms or anything. The past day or two she hasn't felt well, but we're not really chalking that up to the pregnancy.

I have been good too. Right after we found out I had a 24 hr flu -- I know, I thought that it was the mother who was to have the illnesses. I knocked that out after a day & have been healthy as a horse since.

We have another appointment this month & that one will be the big informative one. As far as we know from websites & such, our due date is 6/25/2008.

We'd also like to thank everyone for their congratulations & well wishes. It means alot & stay tuned to the blog for updates!
