Drum line

Hey Everyone !! Hope you are having a wonderful and amazing day!! I have decided to do a blog on one of my favorite movies Drumline Starring Nick Cannon, Zoe Saldana, Orlando Jones, Leonard Robert’s and a whole amazing cast.

The movie follows a young man who is from New York and he is a drummer who is played by Nick Cannon he  enters A&T University in Atlanta Georgia, he bumps heads with the leader of his new school drum section. 

Devon just graduated from high school and he’s headed to Atlanta Georgia to attend the A&T University a historically black college that takes enormous pride in its marching band.

Devon was personally invited to attend on a full scholarship by Dr. Lee head of the band for his prodigious talents.

the band separates itself from its competitors by requiring all members to read music rather than what is currently popular on the radio , and by dedication to the teamwork emphasized one band, one sound concept.

Preseason band camp is mentally and physically challenging designed to push members past their limits, at the end of pre season the musicians audition for spots on the field .

Devon is the only freshman to make P1, the highest level player , he also finds time to get a girlfriend and romances her , his girlfriend’s name is Laila.

 Sean Devon’s percussion leader is  growing weary of Devon’s cockiness he decides to challenge him to take a solo in his first game believing he will panic and be embarrassed.

Sean is shocked and humiliated when Devon takes the solo which upsets Dr. Lee, as punishment Dr. Lee orders Sean to clean the drums, this sets up tension in the drum line which is exacerbated.

 When Dr. lee is told by School president Wagner to change his focus from music to entertainment or risk losing funding.

 Dr. Lee doesn’t want to give him more playing time, because of his lack of respect and selfish attitude , he finds out that he lied on his college application about being able to read music.

He is demoted to P4 by Dr. Lee until he learns reluctantly he gives him his P1 Spot back when Wagner pressures Dr. Lee.

Devon inflames a fight at A&Ts homecoming game with a visiting band , he is expelled from the band by Dr. Lee and the fight also strains his relationship with Laila .

She is embarrassed to introduce him to her parents who attended the game. Devon contacts A&Ts rival school board Morris College to discuss playing for their band next season.

Mr. Wade Browns  leader says that Devon doesn’t need to know how to read music , he will likely get a full scholarship and a good position on the drumline , when Wade wants to know what Dr. Lee  is planning for the BET big southern classic a large competition of college bands.

Devon realizes he was trying to use him to steal A&Ts performance plans  and that his heart and honor is still with the A&T Band he rejects the scholarship from wade and returns to A&T.

 Though Devon isn’t still playing with the band, he doesn’t give up his drumming , after receiving tapes from his estranged father Ray he gains inspiration for the new drum arrangements, he goes to present these ideas to the band, he and Sean have a confrontation and clear the air.

 They begin to work together and present the idea to Dr.lee who decides to use the idea for the classic, Devon helps them prepare for the classic, and he patches things up with Laila , In appreciation for all his help and preparing the band for the classic seeing his maturity and growth he tells Devon that he can play in the band the following year.

The movie seems to be based on HBCU , Historical Black colleges I had some family members that attend different universities. My dad attend AT&T University in Greensboro North Carolina.

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens next I can assure you it is a wonderful and happy prodigious. 

I decided to write about this movie because Nick Cannon is one of my favorite celebrities,   Love his personality and his happy and bright smile and the heart that he has for people and his family. 

He is my top favorite host on the Masked Singer he does an excellent job on the show, he makes it so fun and entertaining and a good experience for everyone who is involved in the show and for everyone who is watching the show in person live and for those who are watching on screen at home. 

He does such an Awesome job playing this role he puts his whole heart and spirit into the character and brings him to life. 

The drumming in the movie reminds me of my Uncle he is an outstanding drummer, he plays the drums amazing and beautifully I know that it’s Music to Gods ears he’s playing the drums since his Childhood, when he was younger, he would drum on the table and his mom and my mom who is his sister said that he has a good beat. Always a good and exciting Time when I see him and my Aunt. I don’t know what I’d do without them,  I’m blessed and grateful to be their niece.

He plays the drums for a few different churches and I have been blessed to hear him play the drums whenever I go to visit with him and my Aunt and Cousins, he plays the drums to bring glory to God and also I think because it brings him joy and makes him happy, when I hear a song playing I often think of my uncle and say to my mom or myself I see my uncle playing this song.

I’m praying to God that my Uncle will have a chance to play in a band with a well known artist and then once people hear him play the drums then more people will want him to play for them, I Know that God will do more than he is expecting.  I often find my self  air drumming to different songs that I hear I air drum my pretend drums and move my hands like my uncle does when he plays his drums. He is loved by so many and brings joy to a lot of people blessed to have him. I love my uncle very much, he always brings joy and happiness to my heart and spirit.

 I can also relate to this movie personally you see because I have a cousin named Devin , everytime I see the movie, I think of my cousin Devin because he is smart, and caring and has a big and wonderful heart, and is Loving, kind, and always has a bright and happy smile on his face when I see him, he always knows how to cheer me up and put a smile on my face. He is also loved by many and is a wonderful friend, cousin ,brother, son and father . I love him so much with all my heart.♥️ I am so grateful and thankful for him.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good musical and fun movie 🎥 

Lion 🦁 king in honor of James Earl Jones

 

Hey Everyone!!! Today I decided to do my blog on lion king 👑 in honor of James Earl Jones! He played Mufasa.

 I’ll give some more facts on him later, the movie starts out in Pride Rock with all the animals gathered around to see the newborn lion 🦁 cub, King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi newborn son Simba is presented to the gathering animals by rafaki the kings shaman and advisor .

His younger brother scar covets the throne. Mufasa shows Simba the pride lands and forbids him from exploring beyond the borders of the landshe explains to Simba the responsibilities that comes with being a king and the great circle of life which connects all living things.

Scar tricks Simba  into exploring an elephant grave yard, which is beyond the pride lands, Simba and his best friend Nala are approached and chased  by three hyenas named Shenzi, Ed, and Bonzai.

The king is alerted by Zazu his majordomo hornbill bird about what’s happening with Nala and Simba He immediately goes to rescue the cubs.

Though the king is disappointed in Simba for disobeying him and putting himself and Nala in danger he forgives him and they spend time together and play together , and look at the stars , he tells Simba the great kings of the past look down on them from the stars and one day he will look down on Simba from those stars.

Scar goes to tell the hyenas that he is hatching a plan to kill the king and Simba in exchange for hunting rights in the pride lands.

Scar sets his trap for Mufasa and Simba, he tells Simba that there is a special surprise waiting for him, he sits him on top a rock and tells him the surprise is to die for, all of a sudden he hears a noise it is a stampede , he tells the hyenas to drive a herd of wildebeest to trample Simba.

Scar runs to tell Simbas father about the stampede and Simba is in danger the king runs to save Simba, he does save Simba he ends up getting stuck in the stampede and he begs scar for help, scar refuses and throws him off the rock, and the king ends up passing away in the stampede.

Scar tricks Simba into thinking his dads death was his fault he tells him to run away and never return, he sends the hyenas after him to finish the job.

Simba escapes and he is unfounded by the hyenas they say they will tell scar that he is gone, and they yell to Simba if he ever comes back they will kill him.

Scar is unaware of Simbas survival he shares with the lions that Simba and Mufasa have passed away and that he is the king of Pride Rock now, he allows the hyenas into the Pride lands. 

Simba is rescued in a desert and founded by a meerkat and a warthog named Timon and Pumba, he hangs out with them for awhile and they become friends with Simba, he learns of the motto they live by no worries Hakuna Matata.

 Simba in his teen years rescues Timon and Pumba from his best friend Nala who he hasn’t seen in years, they fall in love , Nala Urges him to come home and tells him the Pride lands is being destroyed by Scar he needs to take over Pride Rock.

 Simba runs away angry, he is still feeling guilty about his dads passing , Simba encounters Rafaki and tells him his dads spirit lives on in him, and Simba is visited by his dads spirit he tells him that he must take his place as king and remember who he is, Rafaki advises him to learn from his past and not run away from it. Simba decides to Return home and take back Pride Rock from his Uncle. 

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens, I can assure you it is a happy ending, it’s an amazing beautiful story.

 I loved how Mr. James Earl Jones played the king 👑 he put his whole heart and spirit into the character of Mufasa, he will forever be my Mufasa and he will be remembered forever he left an incredible mark on the world and has touched millions of hearts and lives, and has been in incredible movies like Coming to America, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, The Lion King, and the new Lion King, Sandlot, Claudine , he had such a calming and strong unique voice and personality that everyone loved 🥰 and will always remember and Cherish .  

My favorite scene from Lion King is when Timon tells Simba you’ve got to put your past behind you, you can’t dwell on the past because it’s gone and you have to focus on what’s happening now yes you may have had a few rough times in the past you have gotta move on and keep moving forward.

 I have had a couple rough times in my past, and there a couple times that I have dwelled on it, I realize that I can’t deep dwelling on the past because it’s over .

I have to keep my head up and remember who I am and whose I am and keep moving forward and living life happily and to the fullest , if you have had a rough past I am sorry, try to move past it and keep your head and keep moving forward and try to have no worries Hakuna Matata and know that everything will be ok.  I have good people in my life who help me keep my head up and keep me encouraged my bestie and my big sister I call her my Queen she will forever be my Queen, she has helped me so much through different stages in my life, and has helped me keep my head up I don’t know what I’d do without her, and I’m blessed 🥹 with amazing friends that are also helping me through this time in my life and I’m so grateful and blessed for them.

 I just want you all to know that it will all be ok, and it will work out keep holding your head up and remember who you are and whose you are, I know I am Princess Emerald and I am loved and cared for by many and I am a Nittany lion, I am chosen and a daughter of the King, and I am a sister cousin , and friend. I am so grateful to be all of those.

My favorite scene from lion king is when Simba sings I just can’t wait to be king, he’s so excited about what’s to come and the different plans he has on being King. I also like the scene where Simba is Stuck with the hyenas and Simba roars at them, and they laugh at him because he has a tiny roar, they laugh at him and tell him to roar again and this time it’s a ferocious roar and the hyena’s definitely get scared then because the roar comes from his father, Simba doesn’t know his dad is behind him. The hyenas definitely get scared and tell Mufasa they will leave Simba and Nala alone.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good story. Thank you Mr. Jones for playing an incredible character and leaving a great voice to the world that will be remembered and cherished forever.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

L

Hey Everyone !!! Happy Thursday, I hope you all are doing well and having a great day!! 

I have decided to write about the movie Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. It’s one of my favorite movies.

It starts off with Charlie Bucket who is a poor paperboy, he passes Willy’s chocolate factor and the tinker that works there tells him no one ever comes in or out of the factory.

Charlie makes it home his grandparents live with him , his grandpa Joe tells him he worked for Wonka, he tells him that Wonka has shut down the factory due to espionage from rival confectioners.

 Production resumed three years later, and the new workers are unknown, the factory remained closed to the public. 

Willy announces that there is a contest being launched, hidden among five out of billions of Wonka’s chocolate bars are five golden tickets 🎫 .

The  big prize is whoever finds the tickets will receive a lifetime supply of chocolate and get to visit Mr. Wonka’s long isolated factory for a free tour. 

Once everyone hears about this the whole world goes crazy, with Wonka chocolates being sold out at almost every store, the first Golden ticket is found by a gluttonous greedy German boy named August Gloop.

The second is found by a spoiled ,immature little girl named Veruca Salt, whose father utilized his peanut factory workers to open Wonka bars from dawn until dusk. 

The third ticket is found by a girl named Violet who is an avid gum chewer ,having chewed a piece of gum for three months straight to achieve a world record, the fourth ticket is found by a boy named Mike Teevee who is obsessed with guns and televisions particularly westerns , a mysterious man always shows up and whispers into the ticket winner’s ears, while the children are claiming the tickets in turn, and the adults go to crazy lengths to find the tickets on their own.

 Charlie spends one night wondering around Town thinking what will happen if he misses out, Grandpa Joe uses all of his tobacco money to buy two Wonka bars one at a time for Charlie, neither one contains a ticket, the wonderful bond he has with his grandpa is all the stronger for that.

 Finally a Paraguayan television network announces that a millionaire living in the Andes has claimed the fifth ticket , with all the tickets gone and no more to hunt for the world gets back to normal.

 Charlie is heartbroken about the Chance he missed , he goes to school the next day doing his best to put it all behind him, he is on his way to deliver papers he finds some some money in a storm drain next to the candy shop.

He fishes the money out and goes to buy Wonka chocolates including a regular Wonka bar as he goes to claim his papers to start his route.

 He hears commotion over a headline FiFTH TICKET FRAUD, while the adults are talking about  the fraud Charlie starts to unwrap slowly the Wonka bar he bought and finds the fifth golden ticket.

Charlie’s discovery excites and electrifies the town folk, one of their own has claimed the genuine fifth ticket , people are trying to get the ticket from him or buy it from Charlie is excited about seeing the factory and having a lifetime supply of chocolate.

 Mr. Joepeck helps Charlie still holding the ticket tells him to run home and not stop until he gets home which Charlie does very happily, as Charlie is almost home he runs into the man who has put himself in all the other celebrations though Charlie isn’t media savvy he doesn’t know about it, he introduces himself as Arthur Slugworth, and offers Charlie a 10,000 dollar stock certificates if he will quietly abstract from the factory a secret prototype recipe of an Everlasting Gobstopper formula.

 Charlie rushes the rest of the way home and announces his find, Grandpa Joe reads the ticket terms which says the tour is October 1st, which is the next day, the holder of the ticket may bring one family member as a chaperone.

Charlie decides to bring his Grandpa Joe, who happily agrees and manages to get out of bed for the first time in 20 years, the next morning the town puts on a celebration with a band to see the opening of the factor doors promptly at ten o’clock the doors open . 

Out walks Willy Wonka he is leaning heavily on a cane and follows the pathway to the pavement ,  he gets to the end of the path and leaves his cane behind stuck into the ground , and then he leans over about to fall , he does a somersault leading into the adventure that follows.

He calls the ticket holders to step forward Veruca salt insists on going first though hers was the second ticket the other kids don’t care what Order they go in through .

the kids introduce themselves and Wonka greets them and this parents , for the girls their fathers, for Augusts and Mike their mothers and grandpa Joe, Wonka leads them all inside, he asks the kids to first sign a contract with print that starts out large and ends in being very small, the kids have signed the contract and the tour begins the first stop is the chocolate room which includes a candy land with a river of chocolate and other sweets 🍭, the visitors meet Wonka’s workers who are orange and short they are Oompa Loompas . 

You will find out how Wonka came upon them when you watch the movie, the tour that is going on one by one the kids fall into temptation that play upon their most profound weaknesses of character Augusts falls into a river of chocolate and gets sucked in an extractor pipe , they go on Wonka’s boat ride through a dark tunnel and visit an inventing room where Violet starts chewing on a prototype experimental piece of gum that isn’t finished yet, it’s supposed to have the taste of a three course meal, with blueberry pie for desert she is transformed into a talking blueberry .

Veruca the selfish girl falls through an educated Egg -dictator which can tell the difference between good eggs and bad eggs, all the bad eggs go down the garbage chute that’s where Veruca went and her father follows her down, Mike is impressed by Wonka’s new invention called Wonka vision which can shrink down giant Wonka bars and transmit them through television.

 Mike goes through it and ends up reduced into a little tiny person about a twelfth of his normal size, Charlie and his grandpa give into temptation in between the girls mishaps they sample fizzy drinks and float up a chimney, they risk running into a exhaust fan, they manage to burp their way down and rejoin the others, it’s the end of the tour.

 Wonka thanks Charlie and his grandpa for coming and heads into his office you’ll have to see the movie to see what his office looks like, his grandpa Joe asks Willy about the lifetime supply of chocolate the ticket promised Wonka tells Joe that Charlie disqualified himself  by stealing fizzy drinks which violates the contract.

 Grandpa Joe becomes angry at Wonka he suggests to Charlie to give slugworth the prototype Gobstopper as revenge Charlie can’t bring himself to hurt Wonka intentionally, he approaches Wonka one last time and sets the candy on his desk, Wonka joyfully declares Charlie has won the contest, he reinstated the chocolate prize and reveals slugworth is his employee of his named Mr.Wilkinson the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test for the kids which only Charlie passed.

 The rest of the movie Is really good and has a very happy ending, I decided to write about this movie because I love the story , and I also really love chocolate and I like how the characters are written in the story and how they are portrayed , Charlie is my favorite character in the story because he reminds me of myself, his kind and friendly personality and his love for his family.  

The moral of the story is hard work pays off, That is something my grandfather always told me hard work pays off. I want you all to know that the hard work that you all do will pay off and you will be blessed In the end. 

Also people have mentioned that I have a heart of gold, I believe that to be true, because

I am Honest and not greedy, the characters who are greedy and selfish do not fare as well as Charlie. 

Another important lesson in the movie is honesty is the best policy,  the characters who are honest and truthful get rewarded.  I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to a have a good laugh and watch a nice story .

Please keep the Jackson family in your thoughts and prayers, as they remember Micheal today, they all loved Micheal very much, everytime I saw Micheal on tv he would always have a happy smile on his face and a hug ready to give someone , he loved his fans and always make sure his fans are happy and that were encouraging themselves at his concerts. He loved his kids very much, and made sure they had a happy and joyful childhood.  I love a lot of Micheal Jackson songs, one of my favorites Is Bad, and Black or white.

He made incredible movies and has touched a lot of lives and hearts, and will always be remembered. He will Always be my Black Panther . And check him out in the James Brown movie and the Jackie Robinson movie 42, he does an outstanding job in those movies, and the one with Viola Davis also  Ma Raineys black bottom. 

 Today I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies starring Queen Latifah and Common, the movie starts out with Leslie Wright who is a die hard basketball fan, and she is also searching for a boyfriend all the guys she has met tell her they only see her as a friend.

Leslie is now the owner of a house and she allows her good friend and God Sister Morgan to stay with her,  Morgan is a little flighty and irresponsible she dreams of becoming an NBA Basketball Wife, Leslie and Morgan are just coming back from a basketball game a New Jersey Mets Game Scott McKnight who is a player on the team meets Leslie at a Gas station. 

And Leslie helps him at the station they have a friendly conversation about basketball and jazz, he invites her to his birthday party.

 Leslie attends the party she also brings Morgan who immediately sets her eyes on Scott she is intent on getting his interest and pretends to work with the homeless shelter and claims to have no interest in Scott at all, he is intrigued by Morgan and tracks her down .

They date for three months and then he proposes, Leslie has some skepticism about their relationship she’s glad to see Morgan is happy, a couple months later Scott is playing in his basketball game  The NBA 2009 All - Star Game and he injures his leg and suffers a torn PCl which puts his basketball career in jeopardy.

Scott has a physical therapist Morgan becomes suspicious of her she begs Leslie to take over and be his live In physical therapist, however tensions are arising as Morgan is forced to spend more time with Scott and finds herself disliking him.

There are rumors going around that Scott’s Career could end Quickly if he doesn’t recover by the playoffs,  Morgan leaves him a letter, and decides to leave him by telling him that in the note, despite the awkward breakup Leslie continues to help Scott recover , she encourages him and helps build his confidence, and helps in his recovery.

 They bond over their love of music and basketball, Scott expresses surprise that Leslie isn’t seeing anyone, he begins to see her in a more romantic light, Leslie discovers that Scott plays piano , he says it’s one of his secret hobbies, he is able to return back to the NBAs just before the playoffs and wins his first game, after a pep talk from Leslie.

After that impressive win the Nets offer him a five year contract to finish out the series, as a thank you to Leslie he presents to Leslie her grandfathers classic mustang which he has remolded and restored and has left the dent in the door which reminds her of her grandfather, he takes Leslie to dinner and they share their first kiss together you will see what happens when you watch the movie.

 What happens after that is Morgan comes back she arrives at Scott’s door hoping to reconcile, telling him that she has been In therapy working on her abandonment issues which led her to leave Scott in the first place. 

Scott feels he owes it to Morgan to work things out, he reluctantly lets Leslie go, Since Morgan is back tensions arise again as she continues to plan their wedding and Scott wants to take things slow, Leslie finds out she is being head hunted by many basketball teams because they are impressed with her and how she helped Scott with his injury.

 She gets an offer from the nets which she is excited about it means she’ll be around Scott again, she reluctantly turns the offer down, she then decides to interview teams far away from where she lives to put some distance between herself, Scott and Morgan.

Scott is In a interview and he credits his recovery to Leslie, after praising her he comes to the realization he loves her, Morgan who has been watching the interview also realizes Scott’s feelings for Leslie and urges him to go to Leslie and reunite with her. 

You will have to watch the movie to find out what happens next I can tell you it’s a happy ending.

 I decided to write about this movie today because I am celebrating the anniversary of my diabetes today it’s been five years, I was diagnosed five years ago today August 29th 2019, with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes I went into the hospital with a 1500 blood sugar level, most people with that high of a sugar level are in a coma. By Gods grace I was alert and I could still walk and talk.

  I knew something was wrong I was going to the bathroom constantly and I was constantly thirsty and wanted something sweet all the time, the  night before I went to the hospital I was on campus at school in my apartment and I had gotten sick 🤢, I texted my mom and told her I think I need to come home, my mom came and got me I went home , and she had scheduled a doctor appointment,  I went to the doctor and told her my symptoms and then she checked my blood Sugar and said my numbers were so high, I had to go to the emergency room, they were 1500.

 I was in the hospital for two weeks, they were trying to figure out how to keep my levels in range, my dad drove me to the hospital and kept me alert ‼️ Which is a good thing, If he didn’t keep me alert I could have went into a coma. 

The Hershey hospital and the doctors and nurses and diabetes specialists took very good care of me. My diabetic doctors are continuing to take good care of me they say I’m doing a great job in taking care of myself and my numbers.

 I believe I am like Scott he had an unexpected event happen to him while he was playing basketball with recovery and physical therapy he overcame the injury and came back better than ever, and with my diagnosis I had a recovery process and it took me some time to learn about diabetes and everything that comes along with it, and now I know all about my diagnosis and what to do and what medications to take and how to take care of myself and continuing to live a joyful and happy healthy life despite the diabetes. 

I may have diabetes, diabetes does not have me, there are some tough times and days where I wish I didn’t have it, I am glad to still be alive, and be able to laugh and smile 😀 and sing 🎤 and enjoy my family and friends. I’m giving God all the glory and honor because he is my king 👑 .

I want to thank all of my family and friends and my church family who has supported me and encouraged me and keeping me happy and Joyful and filled with positivity it means a lot to me. I believe that my pancreas will be healed one day until that day comes I’m going to keep doing what I need to do to take care of myself and living a good life.

 If you are going through a difficult and stressful time right now, I want you to know that you are an overcomer too and will make it through whatever you are going through. And that you are loved and cherished and have family, friends, and other people around you that can help you and support you with whatever you need. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good rom com !

Pitch Perfect

Hey Everyone!!! It’s back to School time already Wow! 

I know those of you who are parents are very excited for your kids to go to school and have a great and wonderful year ! 

Some of you may have mixed feelings because this could be your Kids last year of school and they are getting ready to graduate, or getting ready to go back to college. 

And you love when your kids visit you and spend time with you when it’s time for them to go back to school I think that you possibly wish they could stay home a little longer so you can enjoy their presence. 

Today In celebration of going back to school , I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies Pitch Perfect it’s a wonderful movie.

 It’s about a singing group called the Barden  Bella’s and they are an acapella female singing group, they have entered a competition International Championship of Collegiate Acapella finals at the Lincoln center, they lose to their all  male rival group  the Barden Troublemakers because Aubrey gets sick because she’s nervous.

A few months go by and we are introduced to Becca Mitchell who is an aspiring music producer, she enrolls as a freshman at Barden University at the persistence of her father.

Becca makes mash up mixes of songs and gets an internship at the local radio station where she befriends fellow freshman Jesse Swanson at the University’s activities fair Aubrey and Chloe who are seniors now are trying to find new members to add to their group they don’t really have a lot of attraction with the event that happened last year with Aubrey getting sick.

 Beca is invited to join them she declines because she says that she can’t sing Chloe hears Becca sing while she is taking a shower.

 Chloe convinced her to audition and she auditions with the cup song, and ends up earning herself a place in the Bella’s alongside some other ladies who made it you will see what their names are when you see the movie.

Jesse decides to join the treble makers, the Ladies do training and sorority antics to get ready for their next performance at the ICCA Regionals 2012 .

Aubrey insists they do the performance of Melodies that helped them advance to the finals the previous year, the treble makers place first and the Bella’s place second and go to the semi finals.

A couple of the singing groups get into a little argument and Becca and Fat Amy try to break them up from fighting and they accidentally smash a window with the treble makers trophy and get arrested , Jesse calls Becca’s dad to bail her out Becca’s frustration causes a rift with both of them .

Aubrey insists on singing the same melody a second time despite Becca’s urging to change it up a little, while they are performing Becca puts in a impromptu performance of Bullet Proof hoping the Audience will like it and be reinvigorated because the audience is really uninterested.

Although the audience seemed to like Becca’s performance Aubrey is very upset she berates her and accused her of being with Jesse and dating him who is a treble maker which is a rule violation made by the Bella’s.

Jesse attempts to deny Becca snaps at the both of them and quits the Bella’s, despite the Bella’s good performance they don’t make it to the finals they are in third place.

However Benji Jesse’s roommate finds out the footnotes leader is a high school student which means that group is disqualified and the Bella’s make it to the finals , after Spring Break Becca attempts to reconcile with Jesse he rejects her.

 the Bella’s are rehearsing for their next performance and there is a lot of tension in the air with everyone and Aubrey gets anxious and upset again and gets sick on everyone , Becca arrives and breaks up the fight and apologizes for changing the set, she asks Aubrey for a second chance and rejoins the Bella’s Aubrey relinquishes her half of leadership with the Bella’s to Becca.

 Chloe finds out that she can only sing Bass Notes after having node removal surgery , one of the treble makers Bumper decides to quit the group after he gets an offer to sing  , which leaves a spot open for Benji, Jesse convinces the treble makers to accept Benji.

 He was previously denied to join when he first auditioned now he made it! I decided to write about this movie because I love singing it gives me so much joy and happiness inside and outside I sing a lot when I’m walking my dog Elijah or when Alexa plays a song that I like or when I play a song on my phone or when I hear a song on the radio.

 I was in chorus for as long as I can remember it brought me a lot of joy and happiness being in chorus because I got to sing different songs and I got to sing a lot.

And we would have chorus concerts and sing in front of family, friends neighbors, teachers a whole community of people, something in chorus I remember is my Chorus teacher saying you are all lifelong independents musicians, and a warm up we would always do to prepare our voices to sing is singing I love to sing! That was my favorite warm up.

 I loved all of my school years I remember all of my teachers names for all the grades I was in, I think my favorite grade in Elementary school was possibly 1st Grade because everything is new and exciting and you learn about all kinds of things, and make new friends, you get your own cubby and get to put your lunchbox in your cubby, and then go to Lunch and afterwards you would get to go outside and play at recess and have a lot of fun ! 

All of my teachers that I have had in my years of schooling have all inspired me and encouraged me every step of the way in my journey of life and learning, they all had a step in where I am today in my life.

 I am so grateful and thankful for all the things that my teachers have done for me for preparing for life and  the world and for life, I stay in contact with all of my teachers because I really appreciate and Care about them all. 

I also really enjoyed my senior year, It was a very happy and memorable year, I did a lot of fun and exciting things in my senior year of high school before graduating.

 I think parents just want their kids to be prepared for the future and have a good time in school and enjoy life and be ready for what life has to offer them. 

Parents work hard for their kids because they want them to have the best In life and know that they can do whatever they set their minds to and that dreams can come true. For Example, I went to Penn State Harrisburg and I was learning about retail.

 Because of my learning In Retail I now have a job at Tj Maxx working in Retail I had a lot of encouragement from my mom and dad and My family and friends, my Aunt and my big sister spoke it into existence when I told them I had an interview they said that you are getting the Job!

 I had the interview at first I feel like I didn’t so good at the interview, my mom said usually when you feel like that that means you got the job ! And guess what I did !

 I’ve been there for three months and I am really enjoying it and liking it! 

My favorite characters from Pitch Perfect are fat Amy and Becca , they remind me a lot of myself with how much they like singing and having a good time ! 

And making sure everyone is ok , and happy ! They have big and beautiful hearts 💞. And just enjoying life and enjoying what life brings to them. 

You will see their characters and what they are like when you watch the movie they will make you laugh and smile a lot !!

 Parents I just want you all to know that you all are doing a great job with your kids ! 

I know that parenting can be a lot sometimes and it can possibly feel overwhelming at times just know that you kids really appreciate you and all the time and love that you pour into them to make sure they are ready for the day and what the day brings to them. I hope your Kids have a wonderful and amazing school year and that all their dreams and hopes come true ! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good happy singing movie.

Happy Birthday to Elijah!!

Hey Everyone, Elijah just celebrated his fourteenth Birthday two days ago August 13th.

 He is an amazing and loving dog,he has been with me through half my life.

I’ve loved Elijah since I first layed eyes on him, he is a fighter he has been through a lot In his fourteen years of life, he has come out more strong and good even with going through all of what he has went through. 

He loves to play and interact with all kinds of people, he can definitely give some funny looks if he’s upset about something or not getting what he wants when he wants it.

 We love traveling with Elijah, he especially loves visiting my Grandma in Maryland, he loves when she pets him and says his name he just gets the biggest smile on his little cute face! 

Maybe you read my first blog on how we first met. My mom surprised me one night and said we were going to the Store and we ended up at a nice lady’s house and she brought me and my mom in and asked if we wanted to see the puppies , the lady then said pick one ! 

My mom said really pick one! I was so elated and happy,  I had chosen a different dog 🐶 than Elijah the dog I was holding had already been chosen, so then the lady said see if the puppies come to you.

I did that and Elijah kept coming to me I knew he was the one,  before Elijah’s name became officially Elijah we had come up with different names like, happy and I think a few other ones anyway.

I decided to stick with Elijah and he loves his name my dad tells everyone he named him I know that I really named him and that’s what I tell people, he certainly lives up to his name, he is a very royal dog like I am a royal Princess, we had gone on vacation one day and we stayed at a hotel and one of the people at the hotel told me that he could tell me and Elijah really loved and cared for each other.

 Elijah loves interacting with other dogs too, when he sees a big dog he isn’t afraid at all he will bark and everything he won’t back down he thinks in his head that he is a big dog, he may be small he is a mighty dog with a big and caring Heart.

 A funny story that happened with Elijah is it was time for my high school graduation and my family had just arrived from Maryland and Elijah was so excited to see everyone, my uncle and Grandma had come up from Maryland for my graduation he rang the doorbell and then I opened the door and Elijah greeted them and he ended up running outside and down the driveway and I chased after him, and then my uncle chased after me, it was a really funny thing.

 Elijah ran all the way to my neighbors house, my uncle Caught up with me he had some treats in his car and that’s how we got Elijah back to the house. 

Elijah also loves licking people and encouraging people in his own little cute way , my cousins and aunts had come up to visit from Texas .

Elijah was so excited to see all of them and my dad is a very strong man and he likes doing push-ups and showing people he can do push-ups he told Devin he could do more push-ups then him, they start doing push-ups against one other and Devin’s doing good and then my dad starts gaining on him and then Elijah kisses Devin and encourages Devin telling him don’t give up keep going Devin ! 

That made Devin Laugh and smile! 

Also when I am holding Elijah he doesn’t like anyone else to messing with him, sometimes my dad will mess with him when I’m holding him and like my dad will poke me or something and Elijah will give him a warning ‼️ with his eyes and then he will do something else and Elijah will growl and bark at him and then he will back off. 

Elijah adores my First Lady and big sister Adrian he gets a cute smile on his face every time he sees them and he also loves my friends too!! 

Elijah is a ladies dog he loves pretty girls !! Elijah is such a blessing he is also a praying dog, whenever my family prays and stands In a circle he will stand in the middle of the circle and cross his little paws 🐾 and pray along with us too!!!

 He also loves singing with me too, whenever I’m singing he joins along with me with his cute little voice and he is very talented also he played the beat of smile Kirk Franklin’s song on my bongo ! 

He really doesn’t like doggy outfits or doggy shoes with the outfits he puts up with it for me because he knows I like it, once he has the outfit on he starts strutting around and walks very confidently with his little head held high, on one of my birthdays one year I put him in a little doggy tux, he loved it I had gone to do some shopping 🛍️ and my mom had taken Elijah outside for a walk and she didn’t want to walk very far, she said Elijah pulled her down the sidewalk he wanted to sport his little tux and showed people he looked good just like his doggy mama. Elijah has a brought a lot of joy, laughter 🤭, fun and a lot of good times into my life and I love him with all my heart . 

If you would like to know more about Elijah read it in my first blog, Elijah loves everyone he meets and always leaves a lasting impression most people know me from walking Elijah they will say I’ve seen you all around the neighborhood Elijah is a very popular dog. 

I know that you would immediately love Elijah too if you were to meet him because of cute he is and how nice and friendly he is and he has the most adorable eyes !!! That will melt your heart as soon as you look at him personally I think I am his favorite person in the world, and In the house lol 😂. He does love my mom and dad I do believe I am the favorite lol 😂.

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium

 Hey Everyone, How are you ?? I hope you all are doing well and having a wonderful week so far !!!

Today is a special day it is Dustin Hoffman’s birthday.

I have decided to write a blog to celebrate his birthday today.

 The movie is Mr.Magorium’s Wonderum  Emporium the movie starts off with Molly Mahoney who is a formal musical prodigy who has artists block, she is an amateur pianist and a employee at the Emporium, It is a magical toy shop run by  243 year old Edward Magorium . 

Besides Molly and Edward there is another person named Bellini who is a store book builder , there is another person named Eric Applebaum who visits the store daily, he functions as an employee despite his age.

Edward gives Molly the Congreve Cube a block of wood , he tells her it will guide her to a new life if she has faith in it.

Molly wants to be a Concert Pianist , and composer she has not been able to complete her first concerto, later Edward announces that he is going to leave, he is giving the shop to Molly.

In preparation for his departure he hires an accountant , Henry Weston  to organize the shops paperwork , and determine his legacy to Molly.

Henry doesn’t believe the store is magical, Molly is upset about her inability to run the store, the store becomes upset and throws a tantrum and assaults everyone inside with the toys  , until Edward calms the store down.

 Molly realizes Edward is going to die, so she rushes him to a hospital , until he is discharged the next day she attempts to stop his departure by showing him the joys of life, back at the store Edward uses stage notes of Shakespeares to make a point about the simplicity of dying, then he sadly passes away.

Molly believes herself to be incapacitated of owning the toy store, she puts it up for sale and the store loses its magic. 

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens with Molly and the toy store, I decided to write about this movie because it teaches me to have believe and faith in myself and knowing that anything is possible if you just believe . 

I have so many people that have faith and believe in my dreams and believe with me that my dream will come true , there is some days where I sometimes think am I going to get my dream job at Disney that I have dreamed about since I was a kid  ?

 Disney gives me such happy feelings and brings out the little kid in me.

 I don’t have any worries or stresses when I am there, anything that i am anxious or upset about it dissolves from my thinking, all the thoughts that are left is wow , this is the happiest place on earth, it’s so magical beautiful and happy !! I love seeing all the characters especially Minnie and Mickey Mouse, I love going to Magic Kingdom.

 I never make it through the whole park because I want to see all the characters.

I Think personally I’m like the fairy Tinker Bell, she is caring, friendly, courageous, has a big and kind heart. She loves to fix and take care of things, which is similar to me in a way.

 I love making sure my family and friends are doing ok, if they are upset or something is wrong I try to find a way to fix it, so they can be happy and not have to worry or be upset anymore.

 I have a wonderful church family, all of them are so loving and kind to me, and have given me wonderful advice and compliments. I love my Pastor and First Lady too!!

One  of my good family friends Mr. Ricky Cole says that I can sing and that I have a nice voice. 

And that makes me feel good because I love to sing , and it really encourages my heart and spirit. And my Friend Mrs. Kay always has a happy smile waiting for me, which brightens my day, she is a strong and wonderful lady seeing her happy makes me happy!! 

And My other Good Friend Ms. Kim she’s been of a friend of my family’s also for a long time, and she always has a encouraging and kind word to say to me every time she sees me and it makes me feel so happy inside, she is a wonderful person and has a good heart. 

My friend Mrs. Rosetta she always has a kind smile waiting for me, and good encouragement words that always lifts me up she has blessed and touched a lot of lives. 

My big Sister Adrian means the world to me, she has been there for me a lot of times.

It is always a blessing in her presence, she is like an Angel from Heaven, she has blessed a lot of people also and has touched many hearts 💞 with her beautiful gift that she uses beautifully and her smile lights up whatever room she is in. 

Fun Fact about Dustin Hoffman , Did you know that he plays Master Shifu in all the Kung Fu Panda 🐼 movies???

 He is also in Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, little Fockers, and Stranger than Fiction, Kramer Vs. Kramer and tootsie. Early in his career he wanted to be a classical pianist he didn’t have the talent. He is also in the movie Rain Man, I think he’s an incredible actor and Person, he has brightened a lot of lives with his wonderful personality and his big and caring heart.

 One of my favorites with him is Kung fu Panda because it is one of the last movies I saw with my Uncle before he passed away and it’s a memory I will always cherish, whenever I watch it I always think of him. Dustin seems to do his little smile in most of his movies.

I seem to notice that whenever I watch one of his Movies the little smile he does it kinda looks like it’s a side smile coming from the side of his mouth, it still is a nice smile and will make you smile also. 

He’s made me smile in a lot of his movies that I have seen and laugh. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good laugh . And also keep believing in yourself and having faith in yourself and knowing you can do whatever you set your mind to.
