Random Rants:Team Melanie & Derwin- " The Intrigue of the MeR-lanie"

 

 Team Melanie & Derwin :

"The Intrigue of the MeR-Lanie"

 

 As a lover of the original cast of The Game, I would have to have say that I'm Team Melanie & Derwin all the way! Whose with me? Who in there right mind could deny the charismatic on the set chemistry of the characters, Melanie, played by Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Derwin, played by Pooch Hall. Such talent they exuded,  and their fans inevitably loved them  individually, but especially

together.   

 

Still entranced by this magnetism of the Melanie and Derwin love duo, led us to the intrigue  of- the MeR-lanie dance.  The term coined by one of the great writers of Season 2 became the metaphor for which the couple tinkered on. The MeR-lanie represented that jazzy spiral of a profound love that's beat lasted even when the tune of the relationship was off key. It was the way they tiptoed back into each other's arms by the end of the song, and that was the brilliant depiction of that not so perfect real couple that had a deep, lasting love connection for one another, caught on the television screen, for millions of viewers to see. That's what every girl wants right?

 

So what does every viewer want? That is probably the question BET is pondering. Struggling to reach that Season 4 of staggering 7.7 million viewers that they first captured with the initial premiere of The Game when it switched to BET.  Yet, The Game presses to go on, despite of it all. They have to right, because certain decisions were made. The contracts have been signed, production completed, and the 6th season of the show is now in weekly rotation. The excited hype, or just plain and simple controversy has been swarming the web, television, and social media galore to try and decipher what a season without Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Pooch Hall would really look like.

I have to say I had hoped, maybe still have hopes that the show might survive this season. The hour long premiere proved to be interesting, yet it felt like the very HEART of the show was being snatched away as I watched Derwin act all the way out of his element. So much that he couldn't even talk to his dearest Melanie.  I don't know about anybody else, but I was in tears.  The question to ponder is can the show really survive with the beautiful Lauren London and new comer, as sexy as he is Jay Ellis. My verdict is that the storyline of the show can't match what it used to be, and that the new cast will not have the lasting charm that the old cast had from the beginning.  The show just doesn't have any heart, with the younger replacements abruptly trying to create that love connection that Mel and Derwin had effortlessly. I don't have anything against the replacements, but really, "Players Come and Go, and apparently The Game will also!

Random Rants:Motivation

The hardest thing about motivation...is getting it.  It can be the most difficult task to get that initial jilt and get up and go about yourself, to do what you know is imperatively neccessary to do.  We all have our highs and lows, and when we are low, and down on ourselves and feeling less than confident about our current situation or status, it is more than a mere challenge, to pull ourselves up.

However, the good thing about motivation, is that it is infectious. Once you get that initial jilt and you are going and seeing progress, it overcomes you. You become one with your goal. 

On the topic of losing weight and adapting a healthy lifestyle, that has been my constant struggle. It has been my black hole, that I have always fell down deep in. It seems once I fell, it was inevitable to have difficulty climbing out once again.

This year I pledge to stay motivated, and to keep my eyes focused on redefined images of me. What is your pledge in 2013?

Elliptical Sweat

I savour it most then,
When I can see the Beyonce' in me,
Feel the "glad to be a woman hips in me".

Sweat drops, and I like the motion of it all.
The way my legs lead my path
To slim, and I think I'm addicted too,
These toned images of the revised me.

The one that walks the
front and center strip with a strut,
confident curves craving free,
like a feline purr awaiting to be released.

Random Rant:Left-Overs

Is there anyone, who just really, really adores left-overs... Umm...I think not.  However, the whole idea of the left-over meal is really ingenius.  You save time, money, and the thought process of figuring out what's for lunch or dinner the next day. When you think about it, it's the perfect solution for the single mother, working woman, or busy house wife alike.

We all work so hard, and if we could just succumb to the convenience of the "Left-Overs", it might make life that much easier.  Reallyyy??? you say, well maybe it's not that serious, but it would sure help a sista' out lol. My personal experience with the left-over meal, is that it is just my daughter and I, so we don't eat much, and whatever is left, I just want to dump. No matter how hard I try, I can't wholly make the left-over committment.   True you don't have to to do it all the time, but it would help at least once or twice a week. 

Enough about food, but still speaking about left-overs. What do I mean you might ask? Well I'm about to tell ya.

It's the type of left-overs that your heart and soul doeth ponder. The kind that linger and lap around your brain unwanted, until the stench is too much for your mind to bare. It is when the memory of a lost love hunts you like forgotten left-overs that taunt an otherwise clean frig.

Left-Overs

I erased everything of myself
that was of you, but somehow,
you seemed to weave in and out
of the dark shadows of my soul.
Cold , Sticky, Wet, and Vacant…
As if you marked it with your urine.
There your scent lingers wretched.
I inhale the stench only to
exhale you away again.
Desperately trying to
Replenish, Renew,
Prosper, Elevate.
Yet it puzzles me how
I loved someone who
never loved me….after-taste,bitter.
So I let the pieces
you left behind marinate
just a little bit longer, content
that I could be satisfied completely
when the whole of you
is gone from me.

Random Rant:Pondering D'Jango Kinda Love

After watching D'jango Unchained with my significant other, I was amazed  at the great lengths that D'jango went to reunite with his woman. 

Overrall, it was a movie unlike any other movie I've seen.  However, the love that was represented from this black man for his black woman was noteworthy. I salute the spirit of D'jango and the President Obamas alike. It is refreshing to see that a man appreciates  what he has in his black queen, and that he would have it no other way.  He respects her, and honors her, and would have no one disrespect her and he find out about it lol. 

To see D'Jango leave that plantation in flames and ride off with HIS woman, "free" was a sight to see. It made me revel in how good, love between a black man and black woman CAN be.  Just as D'Jango didn't let anything stop him from getting his woman. Men today shouldn't have any excuse  for loving a black woman with no limits! May all women feel the power of D'jango Love.
