The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
"My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While, everyone else was agin', I was gettin' younger... all alone."
Went to check this out last night, what a great movie.. Kinda long but you dont even notice, its one of those movies that you almost don't want to end..Brad Pit is born with a disease where he ages backwards. When he's born his mother dies during labor and his Father abandons him on a doorstep. The movie follows his trials and tribulations, from birth to death. Its told from the POV of 'Daisy' as she's dying in a hospital bed during Katrina in New Orleans. Daisy is the character played by Cate Blanchett, who Pitt is in love with from the moment they met at a young age. This is def one of my favorite movies of 08. There's so many great quotes from this movie I couldnt remember, cant wait for it to come out on dvd. If you havent seen it already go check it out! Hit me up maybe i'll go again lol To anyone who's seen it, what is the relevence of hurricane katrina?
Some good quotes:
"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit… start whenever you want… you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
"we are defined by opportunities. even the ones we miss...."

5 am Thoughts Part 1
Is it better to spend every second of your free time with a beautiful girl that you love... or spending every second of your free time running around with your closest friends doing the things you love...? It seems there is no medium..Sure there's that girl that goes out every night but who really wants that? You're in a relationship partly because you wanted to settle down.
"God damn she's fine but she parties all the time.." smh I think i should get that tattoo somewhere on me lol
I feel that naturally I am always trying to out do myself.. and in some ways this is a great trait but also in others its the worst.
For example:
I once worked at wendy's, but wendy's wasn't good enough so I went to Best Buy, Best Buy didn't pay me enough so I started doing misc construction work. That wasnt good enough either, then we built the bar..I thought about this in the lobby of atlantic records, waiting to go into a meeting with sickamore..GOOD
Here it is again:
I once dated a beautiful girl, but instead of focusing on how great she was and how much she loved me I focused more on how I could get a prettier girl, with better style and a better personality.. now i have no girl. BAD very bad. Im constantly searching for BETTER.
you see what im saying?
I read a couple of weeks ago in a book that peoples success is based of off what month of the year they were born in. The author backed it up with great facts, but i wonder... Is this really true? Was I born to be successful because my birthday is in February?

Jay Z & Leo Dicaprio came to see Colin
"So hot newbies Wale and Collin Monroe performed at the Highline Ballroom on Wednesday and none other than Jim Jones gave a surprise performance. What we didn’t know was that Jay-Z was in the balcony with Leonardo Dicaprio enjoying the show."

Colin in todays paper
"When young wannabe rock stars/rappers/songwriters try to create something new by making a bouillabaisse of all possible influences, the potential for poisonous stinkage is through the roof. Every once in a while, though, artists like New London's Flowers and Kain or breaking Canadian sensation Colin Munroe offer great hope for the whole concept of stylistic cut and paste.
Munroe is on a brief preparatory tour in anticipation of the January release of “Don't Think of Me as Less,” his debut major label release for Universal Motown. He appears Friday at Hanafin's Irish Pub in New London.
And Flowers and Kain open the show. This could be really great.
Munroe, with his yearning, Howie Day-style pop melodies and truly clever approach to urban music arrangement and production, has already garnered the endorsement of such folks as Kanye West, MTV, and Pitchfork Media. The songs are fresh and fun to listen to, whether on a dance floor or over headphones.
And we already know Flowers and Kain deserves similar national attention.
- RICK KOSTER
Colin Munroe, Flowers and Kain, 8 p.m. Fri., Hanafin's Irish Pub, 310 State St., New London; $10; 437-9724, hanafinspub.com"

Jim Jones stole my guest list spots
Heres some video from the overly sold out show last night at Highline ballroom in nyc. The roster was Colin Munroe, Kid Cudi, Mark Ronson, and Wale and Guest performers included; Jim Jones, Freeway, Young Chris and a few others.. The show was so sold out that there were literally hundreds of people standing outside trying to get in. It sucked because I was on the guest list but the Russian Mafia promoters shut down the guest list and wouldnt let me bring anyone else in with me. So I ran inside for like 10 minutes to check it out... Anyway heres some video, shout out to Double G@Q105 digiwax media and Nah Right.com

What I was reading yesterday and today...
Outliers - The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell
"It is those who are successful, in other words, who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success. It's the rich who get the biggest tax breaks. Its the best students who get the best teaching and most attention. And its the biggest nine- and ten-year-olds who get the most coaching and practice. Success is the result of what sociologists like to call 'accumulative advantage."
Dope book, def a must read!! My barnes and noble guru Sickamore put me on.
