Temptation

Totally not what it sounds like.
I saw the movie Temptation today with A. (Now this sounds like a Pretty Little Liars plot, which it isn't.) I really enjoyed the movie because the only thing better than a chick flick is a black chick flick. Since the movie was directed by Tyler Perry, I pretty much knew what to expect, but let me just fill you in on some of the things floating around in my brain.

Tyler Perry's Message:
  • DO NOT CHEAT ON YOUR MAN. (Main Idea)
  • Be a good Christian. Pray & Go to church.\
  • Don't do drugs.
  • Don't cheat on your man, you could get HIV.
  • Even if you think your man doesn't fight for you, or love you as much as he used to, trust and believe when the time comes he will be there.
  • Listen to your mama. Respect your mama.
  • Dress cute.


Positive Aspects of the Movie:
  • Black actors sculpted by God himself.
  • Jurnee. 
  • Kim Kardashian's acting spectacle for entertainment purposes
  • The good guy in the movie ended up not getting back with his wife, which in the end I thought was a good idea cause she really ended up being very cruel to him.
  • Tyler Perry picks actors with sexy lips
  • The good characters were dark skinned. The bad guy was no darker than the good guy, which is rare in movies in general.

Main Complaint
  • No Madea. 

Thoughts on my relationship / the night in general
  • A's shirt was on POINT. He dresses well, kisses well, holds hands well and knows good desserts
  • Sometimes I feel like A is somewhere else, not sure where... I'm getting better at not taking it personally and it's probably me overanalyzing.
  • It feels REALLY reassuring to know that this is a relationship that can translate to the real world and not just some sordid dorm room thing where we're fooling ourselves into thinking we're in love. We are really good together I think.
  • My boobs were popping out of my dress, a little uncomfortable. 
  • Gelato is delicious.
  • I really love NYC
  • Felt like kind of a loser squeezing his hand extra tight when I was going back to my friend's house
  • I feel very emotional - not necessarily negative - right now. Almost like I can't reign in how happy I am, and how many kisses I want to give. Got to tone it down so I'm not ~*crazy*~
  • I am very lucky.
