What ever happened to....

LILLO BRANCATO???
This name may not sound familiar but maybe Calogero or "C" is more familiar. LILLO played 17yr old Calogero in A Bronx Tale. I just saw this movie on TV and something about LILLO's character Calogero stood out to me. Maybe it’s that cute Italian guy thing or that he was interested in a black girl who knows all I know is I hadn’t seen him in recent movies and wondered what he’d been up too. I do this from time to time if I'm watching a movie and see an actor that I haven’t seen in a while I get curious about what they’re doing so being the google queen I am I googled him.



After A Bronx Tale he appeared in other movies and TV as well as 6 episodes on the Sopranos but sadly I also found out that he is doing 10yrs in Rikers Island. Robert De Niro told him to be careful in this industry. What to watch out for and just tried to give him guidance. But of course when we are young we think nothing can happen to us and he shook off De Niro words. He started using drugs and in a robbery attempt an off duty police officer was killed. He was acquitted of the murder but sentenced for the robbery. I hate hearing stories like this.



In an interview he says he regrets not taking De Niro’s advice. I just hope when he gets out he surrounds himself with positive people.

READ IT OR SHELF IT???

Those that know me have heard me talk about the book I'm writing. It started off as fun but for the past couple of years I've been really working on getting it ready to be published. I've been going back and forth about self pulishing or going through a publishing company. I am still praying about it and waiting for my answer but in the meantime I am still working. Below is what I am putting on the back cover of the book. Your input is more than welcome. I want to know if what you read will peek your interest to read more. So my question is would you READ IT OR SHELF IT???


Jay Fine is a well known actor and talented singer looking for love and he'd do almost anything to find it even if it means falling for a married woman who he believes is his soul mate.

Mina Harris is an aspiring screenwriter who has the perfect family on the outside, but on the inside something is missing. She knows her husband Terry loves her but the passion she desires is not there.

As Jay and Mina's paths cross will they be able to resist the temptations they are faced with or will one night together ruin it all?

What I'm reading


Haven't read in a while but the last book I did read was "The Last Bad Decision" by Paula Edwards. This book almost had me in tears. Without giving too much away, it's about a guy named Chauncey and his struggles living in Los Angeles. He makes a lot of bad decisions but he's tired of his lifestyle and ready for a change but his boy Rondell is not too happy with his sudden change in attitude.


I truly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed.


Shout out to the Paula Edwards who gave me some helpful advice in how to get my book out there she is very geniune and I wish her nothing but success in all she does.

Music that moves me

Have you ever heard a song and was like "that's my song" then throw your hands up and start singing or dancing or both. I know I have numerous times. But then there are some songs that touch me a deeper than a dance for what ever reason. Could be a memory of a previous love or just a previous time in my life but whatever the reason whenever I hear certain songs I have to stop, listen, close my eyes and just let the music take there. I feel like I'm telling on myself too much but anyhoo here's a few for now.......








Not a coincidence these are all songs from movies either if I didn't mention it before I am a movie head for real!!!!!!!
