I'm so sorry but I only have time for a quick note. When I tell you I'm running 100 miles per hour...last week I was in LA, Cleveland, St. Louis, Baltimore and Orlando over a four-day period. Pray for me, please.
I just wanted to make sure you all are still with me, and I wanted to be sure you are planning on going to the movies next weekend to see THE FAMILY THAT PREYS. In every city I've done screenings, the reaction has been the same as WHY DID I GET MARRIED?. It ...
We're getting close to the THE FAMILY THAT PREYS. Are you ready? September 12th can't get here fast enough. Not to mention on that weekend I'll be 39 (smile). I still don't know what I'm going to do for my birthday...besides going to see THE FAMILY THAT PREYS, that is...LOL.
I got to thinking about something that I wanted to share with you. My new studio is going to be opening soon and I haven't really told this story, I don't think. If you've heard this then stop ...
You all know that I don't dwell in negativity so all I'm going to say about that foolishness in the tabloids is, "You know the truth". What's sad about this business is that you can't have friends, male or female, without some dark-seeker trying to make it into something wicked. Anyway, enough negativity. I can't live in that space and I refuse to complain. I've been too blessed!
On to the reason I'm writing. You know that I don't bother you about HOUSE OF PAYNE ...
I am so moved that so many of you were touched by the story of my old apartment. And that's the reason I had to share it.
I know what it did for me to sit there and be thankful. I'm glad it did something for you too. I know so many people want to give up. All I can tell you is that if I had stopped at that moment, I wouldn't be talking to you now. So keep moving. See yourself doing better and it will come to you. What ever a man ...
Something happened to me yesterday that I had to share with you.
I was dealing with some foolishness, as we all do from time to time, and I was about to get frustrated and start to complain--but before I could get a negative word out, I caught it. It's always better to bless than to curse. So I decided to think about all of the blessings in my life. I went for a ride over to 47 Twenty Fifth Street, Apartment 8 here in Atlanta. This was my last apartment; right after being homeless. I lived in it just ...
I've been getting all the messages on the message board about where am I. Thank you for that. I'm fine! I did leave the desert. I was only there three weeks. I came back to Atlanta and shot another movie, MADEA GOES TO JAIL. It is off the hook! Y'all ain't ready!
Oh, by the way, can I just tell you thank you for watching House of Payne? The ratings on this show are higher than a lot of shows on some major networks. I thank you for that. God ...
