Denzel, Wesley Snipes and Spike Lee star in this 1990 film.
Today was a difficult day for me.
I had interviewed for a copywriting job at the National Notary Association last week. It went well. My interviewer gave me a writing assignment to complete in two days: a sales letter and a magazine space ad. I did both. And emailed them to the hiring manager on the alloted day. I haven't heard from him since.
I went to the gym later on in the day. It was hard to drag my body to the fitness center, knowing I didn't have a job.
I used the elliptical machine for 35 minutes. I ran two miles on the treadmill. I burned a total of about 820 calories. I usually run three miles and do some resistance training. But I had eight slices of Costco pizza yesterday.
I watched Mo' Better Blues at my apartment.
I admire Spike Lee films. Mo' Better Blues is emotionally involving, and has a stirring musical score.
For some reason, death crosses my mind quite regularly. I don't mean in a morbid way. But in the sense that I know I'm a temporal being who'll one day expire. I've read in the Bible that one of the criteria Jesus will use in judging us is whether we used our lives to serve others in some capacity.
I will be volunteering at the Los Angeles Mission beginning in August. They're located near 5th street in downtown.
The other day I drove down there around 11 'o clock at night, just to see where it was. There were derelicts on the streets. I gave one guy a loaf of bread I had in my car. He was black, possibly in his early twenties.
