Lost in Detroit: Influential

In search of the truth, who I am, and what I want in life, I am always looking for incite from the wise advise of others, lessons learned, and reruns of Sex and the City. The other day a friend was telling me that I am not white washed. Thank God! Someone that gets me. He said that I am not like Obama, who people don't know if he is black enough. They would never question my blackness, but I would still be acceptable to the white community. I am a safe black I said and he said yeah, like Oprah. I laughed and laughed. Hey I have no problem being compared to Oprah. I want her influence and money. But I am good just being Kim. One thing is for sure you can't get what you want until you know what you want. It sounds so simple, but for some reason it is so hard. What you want sometimes seems impossible to get.



I watched Oprah last night and it was so fun. She had Robin Thicke on her show and he performed a few of Oprah's favorite songs. I had been thinking about buying his album for awhile, but Oprah having him on her show saying that his album was the album of the summer, pushed me over the top and I bought the album. He's cute like a cat. He looks like a lovable Tabby. He talked about his wife, who is quite beautiful and how they are high school sweethearts. Oprah's show was ridiculous. The audience would scream about everything. Oprah would say, you are getting a free iPod Nano and they would go bananas like they had never seen an iPod ever before in their life. It was the craziest thing. Like watching people faint at a Michael Jackson concert. That always weirded me out when I was a kid. I would be like, I love Michael but I don't know if I would pass out by just seeing him.



The latest movie that I watched is called Little Children. It is quite good, but I don't see how Kate Winslet was nominated for an oscar for that role. She didn't do anything spectacular, but get completely butt naked. I saw everything! Stretch marks and all. So maybe for taking it porno, got her the nod. Watching the movie, made me think about how I judge people all the time, and think that I am better than they are because I would never do what they do, but I do other things. I am not perfect would be my defense. So what makes me think that I can judge others? Because of these thoughts, I tried to give an old guy friend another chance. Its still not going to work out between us, but at least I don't have this hatred in my heart for him. I still know that I am not going to be with him, but I am not angry at him anymore and I am starting to free myself from the negative feelings that I have for the whole male species, really. Lets be honest, I am not the person you go to to talk positively about men.
