Tv series Cane is awesome!

Have any of you watched the new tv series called Cane? It stars Jimmy Smits who is an amazing actor! If you haven’t watched a single episode, then read the plot as described from Wikipedia.

“Starring Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Jimmy Smits, this epic drama chronicles the external rivalries and internal power struggles of a large Cuban-American family running an immensely successful rum and sugar business in South Florida.

When the family patriarch, Pancho, is offered a lucrative but questionable deal by his bitter adversaries, the Samuels, to purchase thousands of acres of sugar fields, he’s faced with a tough choice: Should he cash out of the sugar business and focus solely on rum, which would please his impulsive biological son, Frank? Or should he protect the family legacy that he built from the ground up by not selling and side with his adopted son, Alex, who mistrusts the Samuels and still sees value in sugar?

Alex’s and Frank’s approaches to business are as different as their approaches to life. While Frank loses focus chasing women, Alex is deeply in love with his beautiful wife, Isabel, who is also Pancho’s daughter. Married when she was just 17-years old, Isabel balances Alex by choosing not to involve herself in the business, focusing instead on their three children, who are determined to forge their own paths outside the family.

Will family allegiance come first or will their secrets and acrimonious conflicts over love, lust and control of the family fortune be their downfall?”

This show is on my top list of shows to watch this season. It really is great!! If you liked the Sopranos, I guarantee that you’ll like this show too. It’s slightly different but still makes you wanting to see more.

You can catch “Cane” on CBS. It airs on Tuesday nights at 10pm et/pt.

Kanye West delivers

I just finished listening to the entire CD of Kanye West’s new album called “Graduation”. I must say I am quite impressed with what he put together. His songs are so meaningful and really do touch you in a sense. One which caught my attention and I started playing it on repeat is “I Wonder”. I don’t know what it is about this song, but it really made me just pause and think.

Especially when he says:

“You ever wonder what it all really mean.
You ever wonder if you’ll find your dreams.”

A few other of his songs have such a great vibe to them that make you want to keep singing along and playing it. Two of these songs are “Stronger” and “Good Life”. These songs are brilliant!! A couple other good songs are “Everything I Am” and “Big Brother”. Fabulous job!!

Definitely go out and buy this album or download the songs from iTunes. It’s amazing!!
