Oprah’s big Give

The show is starting soon but Im right in the middle of across the universe. Ive never really listened to Beatles music. Anyone willing to share their music let me know. Any way. I will be joining Oprah as soon as the movie is over.

Ok so I ended watching the movie and dont really want to go back to it.  I had thought that i coudl live at that time that this movie was made. I think I woudl have like to watch I think.   I have realized something about myself. This isnt a recent thing.  I dont really write too well and not really good at math.  The stuff that Im good at. I think about that sometimes. What are those things that im good at. I Think that many times we assume that the things that come easy are the things we are good at I dont know i’ll have to think about that.  Many of the songs that were in this movie were song that i like and its sad to say that I didnt know that there were beatle songs.  Eric a friend of my is a great lover of the beatles.  I never really thought about it. I actually bought the album because of this movie.  I wouldnt say it was a good movie but it was a good sound track.  So Im working on a project for my church right now.   I dont know if its something Im good at.  So I enjoyed the movie. I really enjoyed it I did the old vod really made it easy.  I return to work this week.  It will be a good time I think.  In fact this week will be a good week. I havent spoken with some friends for a bit so I will try to reconnect with them.  The porch is still a great place for me. You dont buy a house for a porch right.

Well I guess oprah will have to wait.

big Give two

PART ONE

Ok. folks another night another big give. but I will just give a pre-show and post. The J man is over tonight so I wont be rude. Anyway they groups up together. One group got Andre Aggasi and another got Tony Hawk. I’m going to pick the Tony Hawk group. The other group is going to be fighting it out. Let the games begin.

Crap. I may have messed up I should have looked at the guys. Now I don’t now who will win. The wheel chair lady just said she is a fixer and she couldnt fix her wheel chair. Oh did you know that she is in a wheel chair.

Well it looks like I have missed the end. the dvr did not tape it so I really dont know how it ends. Anyone out there know what happened ?

Oprah big give

8:00 She intros saying what if we gave you some money

Lets see if they get some bucks to give away.

Oks so this time they get 4800 bucks to give away. This is pretty good challenge the boys are teaming up the girls are independent. Miss America is asking the Librarian what she would do.

Miss America is doing the single mom route pay off school.

Black American dude is working with the military guy. slomo shots of the kids.

Wheel chair girls just asked a guy on the street.

You know there was a show that did something like this. Well it wasnt a show until someone saw them and turned it into that. I’ll see if I can find it.

Boys are at a childrens home.

I found it it was called Random 1 one of their rules was they won’t just give you money.

8:15 Wheel chair lady (this may be rude I’ll get her name soon) is helping out a family whose child is handicapped.

I do have a samll story about a guy I met this weekend. His name was Lou. Lou was a little different. He was looking for the actors and I couldnt find them so I talked with him for a bit. Once I got over my own issues we talked for a bit. He said he was a clown and a juggler. And yes he was a juggler. Because he talked a little different and looked a different i automatically talked real slow and got uncomfortable. Why is that. I got to get over crap like that. So that was Lou. good kid. not like the rotten little kid I caught stealing from the store. then lied about it. Ugh.

8:30 Ok the english I think black guy is giving out 400 bucks at a time at the hospital neo unit. Pretty creative huh. Just hand out cash.

Miss america gave up and is just getting stuff from Target. Plug Plug. and is going to give it to the homeless.

OMG. I just saw an ad for a show what wold you do. I will be watching that show.

8:45 Ok the wheel chair lady is a TV producer.

Country girl got on a radio station. She Did a great job. Helping out an auction. The groups that are doing the best is the ones that use the money to help them give more and not just handing out cash.

Oh and the surprise they had was that they need to give away the car

Ok we are in the wrap up the music is playing and let the tears ensue

The black woman gave a spa day to women infected with Aids. Platt said it right it will not have the last word. The wheel chair lady helped her family communicate with their daughter and sister. I think I know who is going home. handing out cash…lame

The dudes working on the denver children’s home. that’s a big deal. they raised in two days 248,000 dollars. that’s huge. That is a big give. Go big or go home.

The dude giving cash to the Military guy. Lame it was even less than how much oprah gave him.

One of the black guys are going home.

well well the military guy got kicked off for giving the car to the manager.

This was not a bad episode. Keep it coming oprah.  here is what I liked. They had to find someone. Someone at random. I think I hope what it shows is that need is usually just a couple blocks away.  What ever you think of oprah anything that we can do to shine a light on pockets of hope will change lives.  It seems so daunting.  I’ll see you next week.

Sunday tv night

Oprah’s big give is about to come on and I’m watching Bourne Supremacy.  Just like last week I will be tracking along with that show and do a sorta real time blog with it.   I was coming home today from a chicken place and heard a song that reminded me  of a phase that I went though. Wait let me tell you the lyrics and see if you can guess.  “That’s my house and that’s my car and that’s my dog in my back yard there’s the window to the room where she lays her pretty head”  Yup country music. I went through this crazy time where I listened to country music. Now I wouldn’t say that I bought a single cd.  I didnt do that but I did know the words to many songs.  I guess Im a lover of music right even the kind that if I walked into a bar that served that client el I would be stop people in their tracks.  Oh the early post was a slide show that I created I think 2 yrs ago.  Ah the memories.  Ok the DVR has started I’ll let it go for about 15 minutes then let the fun ensue.  I guess I’ll need to start dvr bourne wait I own that movie.  Ok be back in a bit.

Big give

8:15 so I’m watching the big give. Its a show done by oprah. They have like 5 days to come up with an idea to raise a bunch of money for people. They got some people to judge yes I said judge on how they gave or came up with an idea to give or for people to give to them. The basic thing is we get to watch people fight with each other then cry at the end about the good work they did.

1. Iraq vet

2. Husband that died.

3. Doctor from project that owes 200,000.00 dollars

4. handicapped kids

5. Mom that is living on the street.

i haven’t made any judgments yet

8:39

“it was good to feel that I was not invisible” “Just train me and I can get a job”

the mom got a home and a car and help

the wife got a party with the neighborhood

Looks like these two were the best. They had some others but it was more about he fighting than anything else. You ever feel like you can do more and be more. I sit in a room every weekend where guys say that. you can be more and do more. Maybe its taken me this long to be convinced. Man there is so much going on out there. Gaza on fire, Kenya tourist spot of Africa just calming down, Russia turning back the clock, an election in the states. I dont know really where to start. There are many things that I dont understand. I dont understand why people make laugh harder than it is. Not to make it easy just not as hard.

8:53

Fashion show was a bit of a flop. Who plans a fashion show in a week. Jamie fox gave something. How does a billionaire do a show where people have to raise money. How about this idea. How do you get rich people to give more money. Now that should be the challenge. Oh and not use it to avoid taxes.

8:57

Time is a little off im dvr’n so this aint so right. How about the one that I think gave the most went to church. “Oh just saw sponsorship United airways is loving this” So they sent one person home. All those things will go away but I guess they will feel good for a little bit. What if the prise was nothing.

Ok so the show is over. I still dont know how I feel about it. I guess it will do some good work and hopefully change the way people view giving. Life seems so wasted when you just kinda live for you and your own. There has to be more right. More than just being, right…right. I think we should all do a big give. Come on world lets give.

Moving on to Newlyweds. back to the world.
