Best Man Holiday- the "unmarried man review"

The lights go down and here we go! Best Man Holiday starring Taye Diggs, Sana Latham, Morris Chestnut and a host of others. Set years later, (Lordy their kids are like ten in this movie shows what has happen to these twenties somethings that are now late thirties somethings. The movie focus to me was on of how life just kind of moves along and how some people in your life have the same motivations but might not be getting the same results that they thought would happen. That's life though right. In the movie we see how Taye Digg's character is struggling for his next big book and try's to go and do an autobiography about his NFL star friend,(Morris Cheatnut). Hilarity and drama ensues as one of the main characters has an major issue that I won't spoil. It was a great movies one that is an instant classic. I had a warm feeling watching this movie. I say many of my wonderful friends in this movie.


I was convinced I may have more in common with a certain character than I'd like to admit. 


Go see this movie with your crew that you have known for a lifetime or at least 5 years and tell me the nostalgia and memories won't flow. This movie made me realize marriage seems to be about managing the changes life brings and depending on those in your life to bring you through it. -thegqlife

Not married and Im over 30, Oh ####

My 30th birthday was spent at work, managing the final piece of a collaborative effort. I was in bed by 7pm, besides my co-workers getting me "Watch the throne" the new Jay Z/Kanye West album and going to Mexico a couple of days later it was a tad boring. Then it hit me I am still not married, oh #### I thought. How come? Why? Most of my boys refer to me as the "runaway groom", as I have been close to being married, not that I sent out invitations for a wedding but I have picked out colors and some of the crazy #### women expect you to want to do when planning a wedding but that I find insane. So why am I not married? Am I scared? Do I want to just be alone? All of those questions I ask myself and say no!  The only thing I am scared of is the moon crashing into the earth. I have dated some spectacular women, many of them are married or are about to be, so if it wasn't the women it's me right? ###% no it isn't me.  I just don't want to settle and despite dating awesome and fabulous women they just were not for me they were for someone not me though. I feel as though society has made me jaded to the prospect of getting married just because I am a certain age, I want to get married but it has to be all meant to be I guess. However being over 30 I feel the clock ticking and there is an unspoken pressure from my awesome mother as well. I know men and women get all freaked out as soon as the bell tolls 30. Don't be, it's fine better to be freaked out than pissed you married the wrong person. I am a believer that if it is meant to be it will be. If your over 30 and are saying "oh ####" like I did 3 years chill out your good this is how your life is supposed to play out. Just be happy with  the way your life is and the right person will come along. I think.... -thegqlife
