Oh to dance...
I went and saw "Take the Lead" tonight and it was surprisingly AMAZING! I wouldn't have been opposed to avoiding it, because I figured it was just the typical "Reach your dreams..." type of movie. It was but it was also really really good. It combined two passions of mine...the hip-hop culture and dance. There was this one scene...a dance scene...I mean...damn is an understatement! I will purchase that movie on DVD only because I want to watch that scene over and over and over again!! I left the theater with such an overwhelming desire to dance...only to remember...my partner is so so very far away. I'm so tired of that...feeling...that reminder. Tired.
So to cheer myself up I went and bought one of my favorite movies (again) and I'm watching it now. Brown Sugar. I love it. I love it. I love it. I forgot how many awesome lines are in this movie! But then it reminded me of when I first saw this movie. It was "our" thing, you know? He was my hiphop and I was his. Now he calls D hip-hop...openly...IN FRONT OF ME! Like it ain't nothing. Whateva. I'm done being mad at him. I've been done. It's just when these things that were our things come up...it gets me thinking too much. He is the way he is and I am the way I am and we are not best friends. End of story.
I will end this post with one of my favorite movie quotes of all time:
"So what's the difference between rap and hip-hop? It's simple. It's like the difference between saying you love somebody and being in love with somebody. Rap is just a word."
