This & That
Random stuff. I'm saving the serious posts for another day...
-- I've updated my showcase radio blog. I'll be doing that quite often. The J. Moss had graced its presence for a little bit. I've removed that album & replaced it with The Cross Movement's latest CD entitled "Higher Definition". Adam will be blessing this site with a review of the album, so be on the lookout for that. Until then, listen to the album in the showcase to the right.
-- I was cleaning out my email cache when I found a file that my brother sent me almost a year ago. It is hillarious. Check it out:
Funny mouse clip
-- I think Talib Kweli outdid Mos Def this time...but that's just me. Oh yea...and both of their albums SUCK! Mos Def really disappointed me. His CD is REALLY hard to swallow. I know it's different & experimental, but dang. What is up with that dude?
-- Speaking of Talib Kweli...I am LOVING his song "Black Girl Pain". That's like the best song on the album. The hook is sweet & the lyrics are tight (thanks in part to Ms Jean Grae).
Black Girl Pain | please right-click & save to your OWN computer. Thanks :)
My mama said life would be this hard
Growin up days as a black girl scarred
In every way still we've come so far
They just know the name they don't know the pain
So please hold your heads up high
Don't be ashamed of yourself know I
Will carry it forth til the day I die
Cause they just know the name they don't know the pain black girl
That's tight. I have a black girl name. The song reminds me of everything my my grandmother, my mother & my aunts taught me growing up.
-- Who's idea was it to remake Harold Melvin's "Wake Up Everybody"? Whoever decided to make that a group effort...I just wanted to let you know that my feelings are hurt. In your attempts to create another "We Are The World" rip-off, you ruined a wonderful song. AND...you let Jadakiss, Fabulous & Missy rap on it? I am so hurt. It could've been nice if it were only Jaheim & Brandy singing, but that's not the case. You had to add Wyclef, Ashanti, Monica, Mary J & all the rest of the gang. I will never forgive for this atrocity. Yea yea...I know it's to promote youth voting, but couldn't you find another song to ruin? A song that isn't by Marvin Gaye, Harold Melvin or Ray Charles? Could that have been asking for too much? Ugh!
-- Less than a week away before the election and I'm feeling wordy. I plan to write an entry about my thoughts on voting in a few days.
-- Napoleon Dynamite is like the coolest movie EVER. Heck yea it is! I've watched that movie 4 times and I crack up each time I see it. You have to check it out.
-- My friend Tema is pregnant with her 4th child. This is her 4th baby in 6 years. She says that she's not going to stop having babies until she has a boy. I used to talk to Tema's husband before they married. I'm glad our relationship never evolved beyong talking. Lawd...he moves too fast for me. I know that I said I wanted 12 boys, but I'm beginning to reconsider. I don't want that kind of stress on my body. At the rate Tema & Don is going, their going to have 20 kids by the time they are 30. And the two are 25 & 27 respectively.
-- Peyton Manning has a funny shaped head. I can just imagine the pain his mother endured during labor. I pray that my kids dont have big heads.
-- I want to be married at least a year before I even begin to think about children. I want my husband & I to have fun before we bring a child into the union. I want to travel to South Africa. We could walk, hand in hand, along the beaches of the Caribean. We could stay out all night & talk all day without having to worry about whining of a baby. We can star gaze, play board games, cuddle & have peaceful romantic evenings...ummm make that at least 2 years before we think about children.
-- iTunes is killing my credit card. I'm gonna have to revert back to Warez or something. This is too much.
-- I'm hooked on ebay. I become a mad woman during these auctions. I bid & then I begin to pray that somebody outbids me. LOL. I begin to realize that these auctions can get kinda pricey and that TOO is killing my credit card.
-- I'm getting sick of John Legend & his album hasn't even dropped yet. I'm being bombarded with too much of him at one time. It's starting to annoy me. I'm not feeling Mr. Legend like that. However, I do like this song "Refuge". That song is really nice. I might (and thats a long shot) buy his album. I heard his live joint. I wasn't moved by it.
-- Is it just me, or did Nas screw up the words to Tupac's "Keep Your Head Up" on VH1's Hip Hop Honors? I seem to be the only person who noticed, but your boy skipped a line or two in the song. Not only did he skip a line, but he tried to play it off. Could it be that Nas didn't know all the words to Tupac's song? So sad!
-- Feet is plural. So why do we say pair of feet? Feet already means two, so when you add pair that increases it by two. So pair of feet is 4 foots in essence. Why don't say pair of foot?
-- I just got Deja Vue! This is weird. I think that Deja Vue is simply things that took place in a spiritual realm that are now being manifested in the natural. It's like God's way of letting us know that we are where He wants us to be.
