Wow..Couldn't Have Been Said Any Better!

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?

Ryan Leslie- Gibberish

I don't know what it is I love about this song even though you can't understand the words the feel of it puts me in this totally different place. I imaginge a dark night club, had a little to drink and you're dancing with this gorgeous guy/girl and you don't hear the words because you're so entwined in the moment, he/she is holding you tight and you just don't want it to end. I love it.

Guess Whose Back!

Important update: My President is Black! Another historical moment, which we were all given the opportunity to witness. I'm so excited about the "Barack" movement. The world is watching, waiting and listening. There is a vibration of things to come, there is a unity amongst us that hasn't touched this country in a long time. The time for change has come people, you're either on the bandwagon or getting trampled by it. Its' a time for sacrifices great and small. Its about all of us doing our part.

I know it's been a while since I have actually written a blog, posting youtube videos is easier to do when life is a little hectic. There some things I think are important to repeat because sometimes we forget their importance. "God is Good," through the toughest days and darkest nights, he prevails. Believe in his awesome power and there is no task too big for him to accomplish. All you have to do is believe in his power to change things, believe in his power to give you the tools to make things right when they are wrong and believe in the strength that he has given you to overcome any obstacle. That is why he is the great "I AM."

Women's FYI: I have found that the best praise is self praise. Love what you see in the mirror flaws and all. Appreciate every curve, there or lacking. He created you in his likeness and true beauty shines from within. There is nothing more beautiful than a kind, compassionate, soul. It radiates like the sun on a summer day. Be the best you, that you can be because before you can love anyone else, you must love that which will be the beacon for love.

Guy's FYI: There is nothing more sexy than a man who is sure of himself. Confidence is infectious. Be proud of who you are and stand for something. It's not enough to roll with the punches. Be respected for being different.

The Office- Greatest Moments

Keisha Chante- Next Aaliyah?

This is Keisha Chante a Canadian born R&B singer who is set to play Aaliyah in a movie of her life. So far she's got the look down and by the looks of the video dancing won't be an issue for her. I was and still am an Aaliyah fan so I hope she does my girl some justice. Check out Keisha Chante's video "Been Gone" below.

I've decided that I am not lowering my standards any longer and if he doesn't look at me like THAT, than he's not even worth it. Real Love at its' best!

My President is Black.... Young Jeezy

Dear Mr. President

What would you say to President Obama...

Why Am I the Middleman?

Ever been used as the transporter for information. Everything that needs to be said to another individual must be passed through you and you must relay the message. In my family I am the middleman, the relayer (if that's a word) of information. Usually it comes from my mother to one of my sisters or brother. I guess being the last child in the house afforded me this job description but I hate it especially when the information causes a long conversation which I really don't want to be a part of.

So what do I do to steer clear of these long convo's? I don't relay the message...lol. Unless it is something of great importance the message stays with me, the relayer, until my mother has a conversation with my sisters or brother and brings up said topic. My mother will ask why I didn't tell them and I'll say because I forgot...I am a busy woman. I have then, just avoided being part of something I didn't want to be part of.

Being the middleman has its' up and downs. I am always connected to my brother and sisters. We have a very close relationship but then I also get caught in the middle when their is a disagreement and I surely am not choosing sides. I'll just play my position...the middleman I guess?

A Laugh A Day Keeps the Doctor Away...

I've made a new discovery today and that is ..that I'm not funny...lol. My best friend is one of the funniest people I know and it doesn't matter what she says its' her delivery that just puts the icing on the cake. I had the pleasure of meeting one of my good friends aunts today and she was hysterical. I mean, tears rolling down my cheeks funny. Sometimes I wish I had those kind of wits about me.

That is an awesome ability...to make people smile. You can't get enough of being around a certain person when they can make life so light and airy. You forget about all the troubles of the world. I remember being young and laughing until my stomach hurt...do you remember that? Laughing until your cheeks told you to stop. I don't laugh like that as often anymore. I guess the world gets more serious with age, things don't pull strings like they use to before.

I would try knock-knock jokes but I think I'm too old for that. I think my calling is to be a great listener, I don't know about the funny part. I'll leave funny to individuals who can succeed at making people laugh, I'll just give someone a lending ear to the joke they want to tell :o)

Biggie's Daughter Chyna Raps...

Obama's Letter to His Daughters- Inspirational

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country-but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free-that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.


That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much-although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

Something to Ponder...

Something I got from my sister, thought I'd share...

Whatever feelings you have within you are attracting your tomorrow.

Worry attracts more worry. Anxiety attracts more anxiety. Unhappiness attracts more unhappiness. Dissatisfaction attracts more dissatisfaction.

AND...

Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. Gratitude attracts more gratitude. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love.

Your job is an inside one. To change your world, all you have to do is change the way you feel inside. How easy is that?

Who Doesn't Have Issues?

Your parents are over protective and over bearing, you've been ridiculed, laughed at, misunderstood. You were molested by a close family member. Your father wasn't around, or if he was he was an alcoholic. You live paycheck to paycheck. Your mother made you feel like you were never good enough. You been cheated on, battered, at times fighting for your life. You're searching for what you do not understand, have never felt and have never heard. You chase money but can never have it. You're a loner, an introvert, you'd rather live in a world all by yourself, then let someone love you....

We all have issues, which one you subscribe to is the only thing that makes you different from the next person. The tie that binds each individual in this world is that there is something that each of us is struggling with. Whether its' financial wealth, spiritual growth, or a release from the heartaches of the past, we each aim to live better lives. We all aim to be these "self-actualized" individuals who are trying to become our better selves.

If I went through life thinking I was the only one struggling it would be real dark and lonely, but I have the comfort of knowing that each person has their own cross to bear, and mine is no more significant than yours. What we can do is help each other to make the weight bearing a little easier. What is your weakness may be someone else's strength. We have all heard the idea that God never gives you more than you can handle. It is true, he supplies you with the tools you just have to learn how to use them and once you master that your struggle becomes less weighty.

Some Light Skinned Candy...

His name is Brandon Carter and supposedly he has been around for a minute. I personally have never seen him anywhere before but he will be modeling for fashion week in New York appearing in Sean John, Phat Fram and Tommy Hilfiger. But of course like everyone who gets into the industry, he's trying to hit it big in the music business. Let's see how this works out.
