The greatness of The Wire Part II

I think I Love My Wife

Not a personal comment but just a mention of a film I saw. Starring Chris Rock and written and directed by him. I really like Chris Rock. I love Everybody Hates Chris and his stand up.

The film is basically a story about a bored married man who gets tempted to have an affair with an old friend. It's good and has a lot of resonance about the humdrum nature of life.

It also has cameos from two members of The Wire in cameo roles.

Real Moment in History

Two days ago in America a black man became president. I got up at 4 am to watch his opponent graciously concede defeat and then cried as I watched Barrack give his speech. What moved me to tears was not so much him although the speech was incredible. But the fact that a beautiful black family are America's first family. I long for the day when maybe the Martin Luther King quote will become a reality and people will be judged not on the colour of their skin but on the content of their character.

There is not a great deal more to say. Not much I can put down here can ad to how moving it was. I liked what Maya Angelou said 'I can hardly talk for weeping. I feel like we have grown up.' I don't know if she means black people in America or America itself. I kinda hope its the latter and that this man can take Americans who did not vote for him along with him.
