Lesley and I went to


Lesley and I went to the cinema to see "8 Mile" which stars the rapper Eminem.

Surprisingly (to me, anyway)...the film is excellent...and so is Eminem!

Another surprise is that the film is peppered with lots of 'make more of yourself' type messages...as Eminem's characters realizes that he is throwing his life away.

It hits him that he has a talent that he is literally wasting by not making a serious effort to 'knuckle down' and make more of himself.

Excellent film (it has a 'tagline' of "Every Moment Is Another Chance". Excellent script. Excellent acting.

Although the film may not be to everyone's tastes...its message is universal.

Unless you make the best of what you have got...then you are always going to struggle chasing after things that you haven't.

I left the cinema with that 'feel good' feeling that I very rarely get these days. Life isn't about goodies vs baddies...it's about the battle you have between you and that voice between your ears!

Are you making the most of YOUR talents?
