THROWBACK THURSDAY!
Heeeeeey Yall!
I was sitting at home bored, when I found
an old VHS tape of one of my favorite movies-
LOVE JONES. A throwback from 1997.
Now for those of you who know me (for real)
you already know about the Sangindiva's
T.V. situation... for those of you who don't
here's some background-
* I don't really like or watch t.v.
* I only have one in my house
* It's 13 inches
* It has a VCR at the bottom
* It has a wire hanger for an antenna
* If I didn't have a laptop I couldn't watch DVD's
*I DON'T HAVE CABLE* not even basic...
(see, if I had my camera I could have taken a picture!) :(
Now do you see why the tape seemed so appealing?
I proceeded to pop in the movie AND
cracked open a bottle of Chenin Blanc...
(I must say my buzz was sufficiently ON!)
As I watched the movie,
(and put a DENT in the white wine)
I thought about love... and the jones.
What's it like...
To feel, to touch, to be and in -
LOVE?
What's it like to have a LOVE JONES?
The Urban Dictionary said:
1. love jones
An Attraction for someone;
you're feigning for them in every way...physical and mental.
On this Throwback Thursday tell me-
Have you ever had a love jones?
Do you still have it for that person?

aww Im having a love jones right now. Mini-Man is on punishment so I did not see him last night. And although he is calling and discussing then apologizing his ass off he wont see me tonight either. So I just got off the phone with him after having a very polite platonic convo. Im doing my work walking around my office and I find myself checking the clock.... and pondering what injury or emergency can I come up with to get me the hell out of here and into his arms. Hes off today and I'm itching to get to him. I want to rub his head, sniff his neck, bite his shoulder, lick his.. ummmm okay must stop jonesing!! But damn just thinking about him makes me touch my belly and moan. I need it! Im fiending!

Poor baby...no cable? Feel free to come hang out with me, the Littles AND OUR CABLE anytime! HAHAHAHA!! I lived with no cable, a 13 inch vcr combo tv - ALONE witha 3 year old and a VAST COLLECTION of Disney movies for like 3 months. It was the longest 3 months of my LIFE!! I know "A Bug's Life" (the entire script) by heart and know all the words to the songs in The Little Mermaid and Hercules!
I love Cable TV!

@Blue- It does feel nice... especially if her is jonesin' for you back.
@ttd- Girl cable is too expensive- I'm never around to watch it and nothing is ever on!
@beauty- You are funny as hell... LOL@ the injury or emergency :)
@Phoenix- Girl if you're cookin' I'll be over, but my feet on the couch and kick it like I was your long lost daughter!!!
@ Angel- toxic is bad... jonesin' is oh so GOOOOD!
@Zeddy- you can tear up for me... I'll still think you're cool :)

Love Jones is da lick, yo!
I can't believe that this movie is almost ten years old.
I like every character in there from the pain in the a$$ bill bellamy, to the eclectic, sensual Lisa Nicole Carson (who by the way, is bona-fide nuts, seriously), to the Dangeously vulnerable parts played by Nia Long and Larenz Tate.
There is NOTHING about this movie that I do not like.
But that's not what your question was.
Yes, I had and have a Love Jones for some one. I really do this that I have a chemical change in my body when I think of this person. It's amazing how the same feeling comes across, every time.
That's usually the one you're talking about on your deathbed, trying to get to them, huh?
What a solemn thought.

Peace Diva Goddess!
Thanks for leaving your thoughts on my blog. I appreciate it. I know I haven't blogged in a bit..but hey...I am still around.
Love Jones is my ladies joint. She loves that movie.
I have had Joneses before...yet alot of time we had to break up because we were incompatiable. I still have soft spots for them. Yet, The goddess keeps me truly satisfied.
Peace Diva Goddess!

Ooooh hell yes I have had a love jones but it was a bad jones, really bad. It was like an aching in my soul. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't sleep at night, just straight trippin' all the time. No I don't ever, ever, ever, ever want to feel that out of control again.
I think I might have to watch this movie again to see what all the hype is about. I don't particularly remember enjoying it the first time maybe because I was in the midst of my jones at the time.
Oh and hurry up and get a camera Diva, I miss seeing all of your pics.

Yeah that movie is the shit. I loved seeing well rounded conscious black folk represented on film.
Diva, in the day and age of the 50 inch flat screen plasma hdtv you need to upgrade. Life in so much more beautiful on a big screen.
