Dear Denny,
See, I feel like I can address you as such since I’ve been pining over you since A Soldier’s Story. I know, I resoluted to not do that this year, being that you’re STILL married and don’t seem to be going nowhere. What’s wrong with you? Everybody else in Hollywood’s “going” elsewhere. Not that I would’ve respected or wanted you all that much if you’d done something like what Kim Kardashian did to Chris but…Shit, I would’ve gotten over it after I saw Training Day, actually but since it never happened…
Speaking of going places, why you never swung by the house when you went to visit your son at Morehouse College? I know you didn’t know where I lived, let alone that I even existed, but I was expecting you to utilize telepathy or whatever you do to get in character the way you did in Hurricane and swing my way. I don’t understand. After so many years since seeing A Soldier’s Story, my patience is wearing real thin, Denny. Since you haven’t managed to find a psychic out there in Hollywood (’cause I know you can afford the best) who can put a finger on my address through her crystal ball, I’m gonna make my way out there come this time next week so I can see if you’re really serious about staying with Priscilla or whatever her name is. I mean, I know sometimes folk don’t always match up right even after 20-some odd years but know that you can be straight up about the direction I want us to go in, face-to-kissy-face. We’re gonna get to the bottom of this, Boo. Alright?
Now, just so you know, I don’t stalk anybody. You are my first. Please, don’t have one of those type fences that’ll electrocute me like the one Herman Cain was boasting about to zillions of folk across the globe and had everybody’s eyebrow raised high at his ass. I’d hope you wouldn’t be so cruel underneath all that sexiness. Besides, electric wouldn’t look good on me. Though chances are, with me being 5’4″ and all, I may get stuck somewhere around the top part of the gate, where those steel bars stick out real sharp-like, which, at that point, I’m gonna need you to buzz a sistah in real quick, okay?
Love,
Me (Use your powers, damn!)
I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.
Oh, Totsy, I hope Denzel does figure it out via telepathy or whatever, and comes to see you soon. I love your painting here. The colors, brilliant, the style so modern. I love how the light falls upon her.
Overall, how large are the painting you make? And how long does it take you to paint your masterpieces? I’m truly in awe of your artistic flair.
Like, something needs to happen real soon, Monica. I’ve been eyeballing other celebrities and trying to give Denny a little more time.
Glad you like “Flirt.” This piece was one of my first paintings when I went “professional.” The paintings on this blog have ranged from 5 x7 to 40 x 40. Never counted time when painting. It’s fluid. The painting starts when I begin thinking about a piece.
a beautiful letter
Thank you. May the virtual universe get it to him. Fast!
We just have to get the painting to him, first. THEN we’ll have his attention and he’ll read your letter.
How could he resist??
You braggin’ about the top part, girl? ;D
You mean the quote? I meant that in reference to Denny. I certainly hope this letter does get his attention. This is like a Final Notice.
Great letter and I agree he is SERIOUSLY gorgeous!
Thank you.
SERIOUSLY IN ALL CAPS WOULD BE VERY ACCURATE.
Interesting Statement Tots,
Statement? Statement? It’s quite more than that, mon frere.
Maybe YouTube-ing it would help. Make enough vids and one day you’ll get noticed, and someone in Denzel’s circles, like TMZ, might let him know there’s a lovely lady wanting to treat him right!
Lovely art, btw. I do love those colors together.
I’ll give him time to respond. Yes, maybe that would be a more sensible approach than climbing the gate. I don’t have a high tolerance for pain as I used to.
And thank you.
He was great in Glory and as a history teacher it was perhaps best Civil War flick ever made.
Actually, I don’t have a discriminate eye when it comes to what movies Denny performed in best. I just ran off a small few. He was sexy in all of them, don’t you think?
MUCH LOVE MISS XX
AN AWARD FOR YOU XX
http://catforsley.me/2012/02/05/liebster-blog-award-and-nominations-by-cat-forsley/
Thank you.
Though, I have chosen not to participate in blog awards. which I wrote about here: http://totsymae.com/2012/01/13/excuses-excuses/
I do, however, do shout outs to blogs I read on occasion. I apologize.
Tots has the Hots for Denzel! [sigh]
Baring your soul, what better way to get his attention? Oh that’s right, he’s a guy. You may want to consider what to be baring next…
p.s. Love the artwork!
I’m just trying to make it over that gate without getting ripped and cut up, first thing. Whatever comes next, well, I shall update you.
p.s. Thanks.
Do you need me to create a diversion so you can sneak in past all that security? As long as you can bring my bail money afterward, count me in…
Yes, a diversion for the possibility of dogs or hot shot security guards. I’m good for the money.
Painting is awesome. Sorta has an afro-cubism feel to me.
Thanks. I guess a little of this and that. It was one of my first paintings, after learning how. I miss her.
Love your painting. Sorry Denzel is taken!
Thank you.
So, you’re calling him “Denny?” You must be getting places with him I’m not. Hope his wife doesn’t check his mail…
Yes, we’re on another level. He has a P.O. Box.
Dear Totsymae,
My new found friend soon to be new ex friend if you don’t stop trying to mess with my man. I know you have been pinning for Denny for many years but I too have been stalkin’ Imean pinning for him and I am near to capturin’ I mean kidnappin’ I mean our love is nearly coming to fruition. ASnd I don’t need you muckin’… I mean getting in the way of our love. There are only a few things that we need to clear up…Denny needs to stop noticing me as I lurk Imena stand.. watch him from a far… I have taken to running and am getting quite fast and I swear to od I can catch him especially if those tacks I place in the road hobbles him just a tad… I have ample supplies for our love nest as well candles, 300 count sheets, duck tape and a clean stocking just in case he screams with passion for me a trifle to loud. Wouldn’t want the po po takin’ notice too soon. So girl please don’t get in the way of our passion as I have also been takin’ taekwondo, and some other ninja like training…. Perhaps you can set your sights on Brad Pitt or other as Denny will soon be allllll mine.
Your Friend,
V.
Okay, so you’re one of those Tae Kwon girls. I give it that you may take me down rather quickly but you’ll have to catch me first. And I won’t be running to no Brad Pitt. He’s got a gang of younguns over there and I don’t think I could take all of them on.
I must refocus, with you and taking your little weekly classes and all.
Look here girl and I use the term loosely (snicker snicker) Umm umm (clearing my throat) I have almost gotten my white belt…even though the sensi said I am far too old to be beatin’ up a bunch of five year old…but I ask you have you seen them five year olds, viscious viscious, but I digest… yes I know I said digest I am eating chicken and it ain’st cause I’m black as my other man said Dave Chappell I eat cause it is GOOD. And as I said I have been practicing my running I can do a mile now in give or take 18minutes… so watch it my former friend and stop putting up those beautiful paintin’s of yours trying to entice my man or I’ll have to start showing my artwork …the counselors said I have the best selection of baskets and cutout dolls yet!
Now What (rolling my head)
Oh, so your belt is as good as the one off the rack at Wal Mart? Put down the chicken and put up your dukes, Girlfriend! LOL!!
Okay truce!!!! I am no mood for a fight my stomach is a bit upset either the belt is to small or the fourth chicken I ate isn’t sittin’ to well… but this Denny thing is not over ughhhh excuse me I have to make a very ughhhh haste pit stop… Cleveland GIT OUT THAT BATHROOM NOW. I gotta go…ughhh opps!!!!
Denzel does not like to be called “Denny”. He’s very particular about that, Totsy. Also, let the man be with his wife Priscilla or whatever her name is. You don’t want a cheating lying man. I’m sure of that much. I’m just worried that if he saw that self portrait of yours up there, he just couldn’t help himself. Most men couldn’t. You are risking arrest thinking of going to his home that he shares with his wife and chillerns. A much better idea is for you to fly up to San Francisco and come to my house. We have Denzel clones on every corner when we are trying to get home. And some of them are even single. I am a little worried about you being a woman of virtue and all but still sniffing around somebody else’s rooster house if you get my drift and I know you do.
Well dang it, Linda. I’m halfway over the fence now…and it ain’t a cute feeling.
Ummmm my new good friend linda I caan call you LINDA RIGHT…can I come too
Uh uh. You want Denzel AND Linda’s offerings? Well, I’ve never seen such greed in all my days.
That quite sums it up! However, I agree with Linda Medrano, you don’t want a cheating, lying man! You’d be writing other “Dear Denny” letters not near as nice as this one.
My left leg just made it over the gate. It ripped my jeans and I need stitches and you’re got in too late.Where were you when the bar went into my shin?
Yikesssa that sounds like that must hurt (toilet paper dragging from behind) I think I might be able to take you after all (tightening my already to tight taekwondo belt (oooofff) expelling chicken ladened air)
A lost cause, a lost cause. I was here, you IGNORED me.
So, did you hear from him yet? To insure that you hear from the man, tweet him this letter, I’m sure once he get it he will not ignore it
That would be the sensible thing to do. Hmmm….See how common sense left me at the mere thought of him…
May the force be with him.
And me.
Exactly.
Denzel needs to connect to the psychic hotline and get in touch with you! LOL
I love the artwork at the beginning of the post. It’s lovely and multidimensional.
Same thing I say, Dienna. What’s the deal?
Thanks. “Flirt” hung around and taught me a few things, which is why I’m in this mess with D in the first place.
Lady, I read Denzel in the title and knew I was where I needed to be! What a man, what a man! You had me howling over the possibility of you getting stuck in the electric fence! bwhahaha! But hey, a woman’s gotta do, what a woman’s gotta do. And for that man, anything! His acting is amazing. Everything about this man is amazing. For me, I loved him in The Bone Collector even if he played along that hussy Angelina. In all honesty, I like most of his films and the only one I wasn’t too keen on was Training Day. I thought he “over acted” his character. What do you think?
I’m sorry, Bella, but my love is so blind, I don’t think he overacted at all. I so liked that bad boy side but I must avoid that at all cost in real life.
You do have good taste in men, tots. If only there were, like, a few hundred Dennies in the world … should be enough for us here, right?
Your painting is magnificent.
Why, thank you. Maybe if I get a patch of his hair, we can clone him…Would pose an huge age gap, however….Hmmm…
Thank you.
“Flirty” is a visual treat to treasure. Denzel and Totsymae? Why not – It has cachet! The man’s seriously charismatic – a gal’s gotta weave her dreams, cheers catchul8r molly
Same thing I say, Molly. You may have notice some folk putting up stop signs on me here. I really don’t see the problem.
Okay, first, Denzel’s wife is Pauletta, not Priscilla.
One of my girlfriends also has a serious crush on him. She even tried to get into a photo with him at Howard U several years ago. She had it all figured out. What she didn’t count on was that Pauletta would be there. She did get the photo but she had to share it with her. Denzel’s smart: he brings her with him a lot.
I liked Denzel in A Soldier’s Story too but to me, but when Howard Rollins appeared on screen, I gasped. Man, he was FINE! Didn’t know then that, as rumor had it, he was batting for the other team!
Denzel has staying power and he’s aging quite well. Will you be seeing his new flick? I plan to.
You say her name Pamela?
““`Your art work is GORGEOUS & Uniquely Tots! I can look…. and know immediately,
“YES! Tots painted that!”
Denzel is HOT hot hot….I can see you w/ him. Yes, Dezel & Tots! But I kind of dig him, too Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Love ya, girl.
Thank you so much, Kim.
Yes, Denzel sizzles.
Love ya back.
Tots, I am certain Denzel would laugh as much as I have reading this post. You are way too much, you know that? Seriously, keep it up. We truly need your brand of joy.
(GASP!) Are you saying he wouldn’t take me seriously?
