THE OSCARS 2012 | THE DEJA MUSINGS
Hollywood’s Biggest Night THE OSCARS 2012 had some really amazing moments. The Classic Awards Show televised on ABC had millions of viewers tuned in to see if their favorite was going to win a coveted award. Opinions are many but the winners are now etched in history, taking their place among other great recipients of Oscar. Hosting The Oscars for the evening, a veteran host Billy Crystal. While many say it is easier said than done with hosting, that is a tough room. It is not tough like steel but tough enough that timing should be everything. Industry to industry humor should be felt along with not losing the viewing audience at home. When I say tough room I mean both- at the awards show and the viewing audience around the world.
Billy Crystal did a good job in my opinion. Kudos.
Winner Picks! Don’t we all have them? Of course we do, those who love Oscar! I did very well for my picks for winners. Congrats to everyone nominated and those who took home Oscar. Social media was very colorful with varied opinions about who should have won for a certain category. Passionate with idealist logic came out of the mouths of social media babes, my pun on the classic line ‘out of the mouth of babes’ ( didn’t want to lose anyone ). Other logic just went straight outta the window, over my head, through the woods, even to grandma’s house the crazy logic could not go. The great thing about opinions it makes for great conversation – the agree to disagree factor. Facts and reality is where it’s at. Gracious was the winners, many softening the blow to hopefuls.

The Oscars is a classic awards show that showcase many brilliant minds who are often recluses showcasing their talents various ways.#ocsars
So if The Oscars seem a lil boring to you, then we wonder where you’ve been for the last say 60+ years. Classic show, stay that way.#oscars
Music Scores have their relevance and epic-ness for films. #oscars
Meryl Streep definitive class, her easy eloquence shows at this time in her life. I’m a serious actress but I’m easy come easy go. #oscars
Oprah #oscars
The Bridesmaids crew were simply excellent, love that ‘shot’ moment. Woosah! #oscars
Dignified Tribute for those we loss #Oscars
Esperanza Spalding did an incredible job! #afrocubanlove #oscars
Congrats To Meryl Streep for the win Best Actress #oscars
Viola Davis is a woman who many took notice of in THE HELP but she’s been incredible before then #fact #oscars
Viola Davis is on the hailed path for a future Oscar and it will be with a role that will be epic without the stereotypical value. #oscars
Pretty much a win would have been so great for Davis but the naysayers would have tried to pick her a part for the character instead of hailing her for the character she portrayed. I feel strongly she will get an Oscar one day. Look at Davis works before THE HELP, she’s just brilliant. Tonight, she was full of grace a true winner and professional.
The tribute to those a part of The Motion Picture family that have transitioned from earthly life was beautiful. The Oscars Producers stayed true to the classic elegance this show, this moment has always been about with the added touch of the ever present contemporary feel. Esperanza Spalding did a great job with the classic song “It’s A Wonderful World.” As with any award shows there may be some moments that could have been more smooth sailing. While it is a nice idea for smooth sailing moments it is not always the reality. Though many have opinions about The Oscars, I can say I love the way they keep the classic feel as it should be. Bravo!
Red Carpet Looks see ‘The Envelope’ LOS ANGELES TIMES
One should be inspired by tonight, especially if this is the goal to one day be nominated for your works, to be a part of the whole scheme of The Motion Picture Family. Brilliant night indeed. May more films grace us the ‘movie goer’ to giving us a wide range of emotions. These very emotions are something we all need to keep us grounded yet in awe, yet inspired to dream a little dream. To think outside of the box writing screenplays that will one day capture the big screen is always a continued hope. To write that amazing novel, shop it and have your story told by a brilliant Producer, Director, Stage Professionals, Actors, Movie Music Score professionals and more is never an impossibility if you believe in yourself and your work. To dare not to be inspired with the follow through is the tragedy but to dare to is the victory.
As movie-goers the journey where films take us is amazing. It is the little escape from the world that can sometimes overwhelm us. Definitely this is a night I am always inspired by. I am remembering times in my life, the wide-eyed girl who knew that films were important in shaping parts of my life. That one day my imagination would find itself on some world stage and possibly more. There are many stories yet to be told, interpreted and this makes the wonderful journey films takes us so much more fulfilling.
Without lingering I shall take off my reader’s, step away from the keyboard, enjoy my birthday whom I share with one of my favorite actresses Elizabeth Taylor, watch The Graduate playing on TCM, prepare to have a nice dinner party with close luvs by evening, then continue my night with an impressive lineup that I will DVR on TCM’s film list for my birthday. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe is most definitely set for evening along with To Catch A Thief, both in my collection. Sometimes after your day is done, you just want to power on the tv and hit play without going into your collection. Now for the ALL ABOUT ME, the birthday girl bids you all adieu.
Congrats again to all winners!

NFL COMBINE TALK 2012 WITH FIERY EARTHCHILD
The NFL Scouting Combine is formally known the National Invitational Camp. The week long showcase is held in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium during the month of February. It is oh so exciting to see the college players showcase their endurance levels through physical and mental evaluations. All eyes are on them as NFL coaches, general managers and scouts look on. Not only are they looking on but you have some players taking notice along with the sport’s analyst such as myself. The media would be there to take it all in and speak upon the standings. Many standings were not shocking. This Fiery Earthchild speaks on all things NFL Scouting Combine.
- Schedule For NFL Combine February 22-28
- Invitation Only for athletes trust me those who beast are there
- Brilliant way to look at NFL prospects
- NIC started in my city of Tampa Florida 1982
- NIC renamed in 1985 to NFL Scouting Combine
Some of the evaluations College Players are viewed on:
- 40 yard dash
- 20 yard shuttle
- Injury evaluation
- Drug Screening
- Bench press
- Wonderlic Test more
Standouts
- Andrew Luck
- Robert Griffin III
- Travis Benjamin
- Chris Owusu
- Stephen Hill
- Lamar Miller
- LaMichael James
- AJ Jenkins
- Devon Wylie
- Chris Rainey
- Isiah Pead
- Russell Wilson
Congrats to Andrew Luck the uncontested by many No.1 draft pick was looking pretty spectacular in the different evaluations. Robert Griffin III placed 1st in the 40 yard dash for Quarterbacks at 4.38 seconds. Griffin didn’t participate in all activities but definitely for those he did, well done RG3. While many analyst want to do the comparisons of Griffin and Newton, I won’t participate. I won’t participate in the comparisons from the who is better because each of these young men bring their own athleticism and eloquence with their performances. Comparisons on statistics will have to wait because one has crossed the threshold of going Pro with first year statistics in the books and the other has yet to prove himself. Therefore I will not participate on that level of comparisons of who is better because it does not exist at this time and rookie season comparisons bore me right now ( did that ). Let this moment for RG3 be his then go on from there.
RELEVANCY
Everyone has their opinions about the significance of NFL COMBINE. I do feel it has relevancy even if some NFL coaches/players, analyst, feel uninspired, the some is not all. I think it is great for morale, it is great for the interaction factor. Most of these young men will play each other when drafted so the interaction, the ‘crossing the burning sands’ I feel is important. Anything that propels the competitive nature, along with sportsmanship I am all for that.
DAYTONA 500 | Postponed A First In 54 Years
THE DAYTONA 500 is postponed due to Mother Nature rain showers. As a Florididan rain is nothing new to the state. One minute it rains really hard, the next the sun is shining as if nothing happened. This would not be the case for today. In 54 years the Daytona 500 race has been postponed until Monday. Some say Tuesday would be a better day but we will see what happens.
The Great American Race will continue. Loving the choice of Lenny Kravitz performing during the Pre-Race Concert. That’s very NOICE. For all things Daytona 500 LOCK IN to the Official Website.

ABC’S GBC ANTICIPATED TO BE A HIT YALL!
Oozing with all the Southerness you can stand, manipulation, gossip, jealousy and more, ABC’s GBC, Good Christian Bells premieres March 4. Darren Star is the Producer, written by Robert Harling. Starring in GBC is Leslie Bibb, my girl with great comedic timing, flair Kristin Chenoweth, Annie Potts, Jennifer Aspen and more. They should tap Stacey Dash for a role in my opinion. Gal’s gotta have an opinion right? Make sure you LOCK IT IN for GCB! JUICY DRAMA-FILLED TIMES I am so sure! I bet my best Southern Comfort Lemon Ice Tea on it!
Sean Combs | LAUNCHING REVOLT 2013
Sean ‘Pdiddy’ Combs will add TV Network Mogul to his long lists of accomplishments. Loving this whole New Chapter. I am all about the positive moves. Definitely I will be supporting through all of my media entities and on a more personal level. Keep the focus on your goals, definitely this is inspirational and if you don’t think so which is your right, hey I think so!
( laughing but seriously I think so )
Revolt is “is the first channel created entirely from the ground up in this new era of social media. We’re building this platform for artists to reach an extraordinary number of people in a completely different way. Revolt will be live, like all great moments in television history.”

ASH WEDNESDAY | How Intense Is It For The Modern World?
Ash Wednesday started February 22nd as many say goodbye to Mardi Gras the Carnival Season. Ash Wednesday is known as a day of repentance, marking the beginning of Lent. The use of ashes goes back to ancient times an expression of sorrow/mourning for sins/imperfections. Many will be participating in Lent Season giving up something of desire, of luxury. It could be a habit, food, drink, expressions of a colorful nature and more. Lent is observed starting Ash Wednesday through Holy Thursday. For those who indulge, what they give up should be private, only known to themselves. Some share so that others will see the significance of it all. Here’s to you if you are taking a part in Lent.
