The holiday season is quickly coming to a close and I have to say that I am ready to go back to school! haha I never thought I'd say it but I'm ready to start the semester so it can be over! But I'm gonna enjoy this last week off and hopefully set up some piano students so I can start making $$$$.
Saw some old friends this weekend... Some I was glad to see... and others I wish I hadn't. It's so funny how no matter how much time goes by, sometimes old wounds never heal. But thankfully, distance and time can make it better.
As I go into the new year I am so thankful for the friends that I do have. I love you all!

0 merry early christmas!
So less from a week before Christmas the family drama has already begun on the McNeill-front. I can't say that I'm surprised but its always disappointing when your family loses track of the real purpose of the holidays, which is to be TOGETHER, and become motivated by other things. But I'm not gonna stress it, I said my piece and what will be will be. I AM excited that my long lost cousin Punkin.... well I guess we should call him William now that he's 18.... is coming, and my Aunt Essie, cousin Shanda and Tony! I was praying that they would come.
As Christmas gets closer and closer I want an iPhone more and more... probably because I know I'm not gonna be getting one anytime soon. Haha But my cousin Monica just got one so I can play with hers! Did you know that if I had an iPhone I could be writing this blog anywhere and post it instantly from where I am? If you're reading this... and your thinking about getting me something for Christmas, get me one! lol
On another note... Ebony got free tickets to see a pre-screening of "The Great Debaters" tonight so I'm going to that... and "Sweeney Todd" comes out tomorrow! WOOHOO!! :)
And lastly, check out this video of Dr. Julia Hare at the State of the Black Union conference (taped a few months ago at Hampton University). What do you think about what she has to say? LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS

0 gimme that purple stuff!
So my break has started off wonderfully! I had a great time with my girls this weekend. Its always great to see them but even better when we have things to celebrate. I think Amy had a great birthday and Kelli's graduation celebration was perfect! I'm so proud of my friends, they inspire me to do better!
Sunday afternoon Courtney, Tonii, Lauren and I went to see the WORST movie I've ever seen in my LIFE: The Perfect Holiday. We went to see it knowing it was gonna be a little cheesy because of the cast and the fact that it is rated PG. But the level of mediocrity and ridiculousness that this movie was at is really appalling. I'm not quite sure how it even got in the theaters. First of all, Morris Chestnut is a horrible actor.... I never was a huge fan of his, but his acting was so bad in this movie that I feel he should have to give personal refunds to all the measly 3 million people that saw the movie this weekend. Gabrielle Union, I'm convinced, cannot play any other role than an uppity Black woman trying to get a man, which is hardly a departure from reality for her. And then, Terrance Howard (an Academy Award Nominee) and Queen Latifah, who is usually very good, were playing magical elves (???). Everything about this movie was bad..... the plot was predictable and mundane. The music SUCKED. The wardrobe was HORRIBLE.... Gabrielle Union wore the same velour pantsuit throughout the whole movie, even though the character she played was portrayed to have enough money to buy plenty of outfits. They didn't even do her hair for half of the movie! Morris Chestnut wore these silly caps a la ReRun throughout the whole movie.... perhaps that was a ploy to distract from his horrible lip syncing as he tried to play a song writer/mall Santa..... I could go on and on about how bad this movie is. The actor that played Gabrielle Union's oldest son was actually the best actor in the movie... and Cat Williams was kind of funny, but that's the only positive things I can think to say about this movie. I was actually so offended by how bad this movie was that I thought about asking for my money back. Bottom line: Don't go see this movie!! And don't let anybody you know waste their money.
On another note.... I spent about 4 hours yesterday designing a new Myspace page! I haven't really gotten into the Myspace world that much but I like the opportunity to use graphic design to create your own space. Facebook is more user friendly but Myspace pages are more interesting by far... some people have some crazy pages! Are you on Myspace? If so, add me! I only have like 12 friends that I actually know! haha
Merry Christmas!!
