Today’s Funny Story!

Stephen and I went to the 12:10 showing of X-Men Apocalypse at the Jamaica Multiplex theater located in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
We got into the movie for only $20 bucks.
Me as a Senior and Stephen as my child!!
All by showing my AARP card! LOL!!
Let’s see now! Stephen just turned 55 earlier this month and I turned 57 back in February. Hmmm… That means I was two years old when I had my brother!!  Ha!! Ha!!

X-Men Apocalypse Movie Review

This was a great movie. Initially the movie starts out in Egypt and even though you do see some Black or Brown skinned actors playing those roles it would have made me happier to see more people of color especially Black Women.  In 3600 B.C.E. I thought there would have been any white people in Egypt. Directors and Producers need to acknowledge that Egypt is located in and part of Africa and Nubians ruled Ancient Egypt.
The directors take the audience back in time to explain some of the X-Men Mutant origins.  All the cast are newer and younger actors (20 somethings) except Wolverine who is played by the same actor as in the previous movies but only has a small short role in this film.  The movie also tells how the character Storm evolved from a petty thief who was initially on the dark side and how she discovered the truth transferring her allegiance to the good guys.
Without giving any spoilers a Woman mutant defeats the evil being and saves humanity. Excellent story-line and plot.  Plenty of action.

Captain America | Civil War

Yesterday Stephen and I went to see Captain America | Civil War. Another enjoyable action filled movie. Stephen really enjoyed this movie and my personal favorite character is the Black Panther. Love him!! Next year Black Panther is supposed to get his own feature film I would really Love to see his role expanded. In fact I’d Love to see any Black Super Hero Male or Female role’s expanded and pushed to the forefront since one sees very few African or African-American Super-Heroes and even if you do see them they always see to be the loyal buddy or side kick to the white super hero. Time for Super Heroes of African Descent to Rise to the Top where we Belong!!
Stephen and I both highly recommend both movies.

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 21

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world and which may not always match our reality.

What is your favorite go to beverage?  Water, coffee, tea, coke, soda (non-alcoholic)

Water.  I do have a weakness for Snapples but I try to stick with water.  My body reacts badly to caffeine and sugar. For special occasions I might have a glass of wine but otherwise shun strong drink.

Can you change a car tire?

No. But on the other hand No need to know as I do not own a car and can no longer drive.

Are you a listener or talker?

A little bit of both but I’m trying harder to listen and keep my lips zipped.

Would you rather have no internet or no cell phone?

As I have a developmentally disabled brother I need both. Especially the cell phone. I need the internet for my blogs. There are both Must Haves and cannot do without either!

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

Friends of all faiths, races, nationalities, gay and straight. Looking forward to next weekend when I shall take a day off to spend with Stephen. We plan to see Captain America and X-Men. We also plan to continue with our Joint Sibling Art Collage project.

Jubilant

Rejoice! It’s the end of the week, and time for a celebratory photo challenge.

Psalm 96:12-13

New International Version (NIV)

12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Philippians 4:4

In the Black Community voluptuous curvy Women are celebrated. Think Dorothy Dandridge, Venus and Serena Williams or Beyonce.

I’m on the petite side but thankfully I’m not that 17 year old skinny minnie with the thigh gap any more.  As I’ve gotten older I have finally begun to put on some weight which makes me very happy. Most women want to lose weight but I’m happy to see those extra pounds when the doctors weigh me.  I welcome having more “Junk in my Trunk.”

However due to DNA I will always be on the small side. My Mom Mable Elizabeth Palmer pretty much weight 95 lbs all her adult life even after having two children. Lack of appetite was never a problem. My Mom cooked Soul Food as did all my female relatives and we chowed down. Like eye color, skin color, height etc… weight is pretty much predetermined. It is hereditary.  Both my parents were slim people and they had two thin children.  Of course now that Stephen and I are both past 50 headed towards 60 there are things that we can no longer eat.  But we both like to indulge every so often.

Funny story. My favorite supervisor at work Phil who retired last year marveled at the amount of food I used to consume during lunch at the Staff Cafeteria. When we first got to know each other he would walk by the table where I was sitting in total astonishment because I had at least $12.00 worth of food on my plate and had the nerve to go back for dessert!!  I guess he wondered how such a small woman could eat so much food and still stay slim!!

I do exercise. Mostly walking sometimes keeping my arms toned with free weights.  I enjoy hiking. Naturally housework is plenty of exercise in and of itself.  Osteoporosis runs on both my mothers and father’s side. My mother had it and so did at least one of my paternal aunts. This is Not something I want so I will keep up my somewhat limited fitness program and really go for the gusto once I retire Summer 2018.

Apology

Apology

Apologies are powerful, transformative experiences. This week, use an apology as your creative springboard.

When I was a young woman I was forever apologizing. Mostly for perceived failures, faults and weaknesses.  I wanted for people to not only like me but to think that I was talented, smart, gifted and intelligent. I think that women often fall into that trap because we are raised to be people pleasers.  Make your parents happy, siblings, husband, children, boss, Pastor/Preacher/Minister, society in general. Then I turned 40 and stopped apologizing for being me. Whether I win or lose, pass or fail the only One I must please is God and everybody else can step to the side.

After I turned 50 I stopped caring what people thought of me. Whatever other people think is on them. I’m Living this Life for me and Nobody else. Naturally like anyone else I want to make a good impression on supervisors at my job and potential Lovers but you know as time has marched on I realized that all I need to do is the best job possible as for men well I made the choice early in life to remain single. Single by choice. I don’t chase men. Also if they are not up to my standards they will get kicked to the curb. I enjoy my own company and have learned that being alone does not mean being lonely.  The Goddess does not apologize for Being In Total Control of Herself!!

No apologies Needed.
