Welcome to my world

The title says it all. This is the beginning of what I hope will be an on ongoing look at my world. It seems stupid that I should be doing this; I am basically a private person who relishes his privacy. What I hope for this blog is a discussion of my likes and dislikes in books, movies and television. First thoughts: what were "they" thinking when Denzelle Washington was not nominated for his role in American Gangster? It was his best acting since Training Day for which he won the best acting award.
