The Making of Gibberish by Ryan Leslie

So some people didn't understand the concept of the whole song but I think when you watch what went into making the song you have a greater appreciation for it. Music is an art form, there are many colors that can be painted on the canvas and this is just another form of music, I think at its' best. If you have ever heard of "scat" singing used in many songs of Jazz musicians, this a modern day version. Hope you enjoy it better now :o)

Domestic Violence...


When we hear the stories about domestic violence, we often hear of a woman getting battered by her spouse, a male. This is not true for all stories though, there are men who are getting physically abused as well, whose stories go untold. Abuse is abuse whether it is towards a male or female. Men are just less likely to say something about it for fear of being ridiculed.

I have seen relationships in which the female was physically and emotionally abusive to her spouse. More emotionally than anything but she had her episodes of physical abuse as well. There are some men who were raised never to lay a hand on a woman and so they endure the abuse. Or they may even feel like there actions have left them in such a predicament that they deserve the abuse and just like some women they may be battling some self-esteem issues which lead them to believe they don't deserve any better.

I feel whether it's a female or male abuse is not warranted towards either party. No one has the right to lay hands on you as a form of punishment (except your parents of course). Abuse is just a way of the abuser to gain control of what they feel they have no control over. Unfortunately, the abuser doesn't change. Whatever underlying issues that are causing them to be an abuser must be dealt with in order to rectify the situation, so flowers and cards and beautiful gifts will not change the situation. Whether male or female, the only option is to leave, that person doesn't respect nor love you if they are hurting you.

Trouble in Paradise?


Seems ReRe and Chris have fallen off of cloud nine, but than again they were never on cloud nine together since they were not "dating"...allegedly. Now there are different stories being through around but supposedly it came to fisticuffs between the two in a vehicle. ReRe was thrown out of said vehicle and a bystander called the POPO..lol...allegedly. Now I don't how true all of this is but my boy Chris does not look like a woman beater, but than you just never know. Either way the two canceled there Grammy performances and Chris turned himself in and was let out on 50,000 dollars bail. Hmph...I'm saddened by all of this, is there any such thing as a perfect relationship?
