Just got in from a pre-screening of The Great Gatsby. The movie was decent but Leonardo DiCaprio was phenomenal. I'll post my movie review tomorrow. I definitely felt like a movie star. VIP entry, free popcorn, free drinks. If only Khadija was 21, we could've went to the after party at 40/40 club. Oh well. I still had a great time. I can't complain.
I also found out DJ Pauly D will be in New York on Friday. I have been trying to see this boy for two years now so you better believe I'm going.
Now on to something more personal. I think it's time for people to do a better job of learning the difference between friends and acquaintances.This is something I can say I definitely struggle with. I'm someone who can become quickly attached to people I meet. And I too easily start to call people my friend. This is something that need's to stop. Friends want to be around you. They don't care how much money you have, or what you can do for them. They generally like you as a person and will look out for you. Acquaintances will use you for what they need and they could really care less about what's happens with you next. The positive thing about acquaintances, if you get to know the right people, is they can pull strings for you. But if you're acquaintances with people who can't do anything for you, then you end up with the ones who use you for what you got but won't even spend 2 hours to see a movie with you. How does this tie into Gatsby? *Spoiler Alert* Well think about all the people who used him for his parties and his money, but who showed up to his funeral? Only one person. Moral of the story is be careful of the company you keep. Make sure you know who has your back and who doesn't. And I'll end my ranting there.
Until tomorrow old sport!
P.S. I finally sold my spare ticket to Beyonce's concert at Barclay's Center on August 8. PAYDAY!!!
