Well then, if you can’t get tears you need to cry to spill past the edge of your eye and they need only just a little push toss in a movie like Dreamgirls. The waterworks will start, trust me. What an awesome movie. It showed up today in my mail (as part of a bartering deal) and I watched it while eating an Arby’s ham and Swiss melt. Gracious sakes alive. What a movie. The music is amazingly moving with a message of hurt, hope and healing. The ending is wonderful too. Hardly ever do I watch a movie straight through. It takes a long time because I can’t just sit down for an extended period of time. I usually do a hundred different things while watching but not with this movie. A few times I stood right in front of the screen to watch the performance. What a story, what awesome music and certainly a wonderful find in my mail today.
It’s been a good day. I was going to stay home and hang out. I talked on the phone a bit then went to the store with my roommate. We grabbed an Arby’s value thingamabob and came home. He watched the Democratic Convention and I watched Dreamgirls. Good day all around.

This is the song I Am Changing performed by Jennifer Hudson followed by the lyrics
Look at me.
Look at me.
I am changing, trying every way I can.
I am changing, I’ll be better than I am.
I’m trying to find a way to understand
But I need, I need u, I need a hand.
I am changing, seeing everything so clear.
I am changing, I’m gonna start right now right here.
I’m hoping to work it out, and I know that I can
But I need u, I need a hand.
All of my life, I’ve been a fool,
Who said I could do it all alone.
How many good friends have I already lost?
And how many dark nights have I known.
Walking down that wrong road,
There was nothing I could find.
All those years of darkness, can make a person blind,
But now I can see, I am changing,
Trying every way I can
I am changing, I’ll be better than I am
But I need a friend, to help me start all over again.
Ohhh that would be just fine.
I know it’s gonna work out this time.
Cause this time I am, this time I am
I am changing, I’ll get my life together now,
I am changing, yes, I know how.
I’m gonna start again, I’m gonna leave, my past behind.
I’ll change my life, I make a vow nothings gonna stop, me, now.
I’m so glad that you had a good day and that your movie arrived. Don’t you just love getting (good) mail?!?
I liked that song too. She sings it really well.
I wonder, do you have a good singing voice?

I sang and danced in talent shows when I was younger but not anymore. From time to time I can be heard singing poorly to the radio but even that’s rare.
