I am loving this song. I can listen to it over and over again. Actually, I have listened to it over and over again.  I think people who have been through things in relationships can relate to the insecurities that are grappled with in this song.  Besides the soothing melody, Britney's voice sounds nice and there is a level of authenticity that makes this relate-able.

This is my happy place ... lol

I'm so glad I caught this on the AMAs. I love how Christina Aguilera is not over the top on this song. The lyrics are so poignant. Haven't we all been there at some point with the people/friends we love in our life. It is a really nice song.

This has truly made my morning. Happy December. LOL

I really enjoy watching NBC's The Blacklist. I absolutely love watching James Spader in this sinister yet slightly likable role. What keeps me coming back though is the intrigue of the back stories. Is Liz's husband a secret spy or an innocent husband? Is Red back because he is really Liz's father? Is there a bigger story behind the "blacklist"? A girl has got a lot of questions and I am working on getting caught up via on demand (I love on demand) to get answers. I am up to episode 103: Wujing where CIA agents are being picked off (brutally murdered) by Wujing. At the end of the episode they feature a song that I fell in love with from the first few bars. "Here With Me," by Susie Suh featuring Robot Koch captured my attention because I really like that heart touching melodic flow. Then I listened to the words and it captured my feelings quite succinctly in regards to how I feel four years into being widowed.  The best songs are the ones that connect e...

Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer talk about how the critics' reviews (biased from behind-the-scenes shenanigans) are what killed the movie at the box office. Find the Yahoo article below. However, I contend, as a chick who absolutely LOVES trailers, that the movie just did not look to be that good. The trailer did not entice me one bit to go and drop down my hard earned money and precious time on this flick. It looked like a huge corn ball fest. Jack Sparrow as Tonto was not doing it for me. So, could it be that the movie did not do well because no one wanted to see it. Personally, I do not even listen to critics when deciding to watch a movie. I am pretty sure that I cannot be the only one. The darn trailer just looked foolish. You can be the judge though.

Revolution's Preface There's a molding phase in progress, shaping my soul I am on a springboard waiting to launch

I have been on a Gil Scott Heron binge for the past few days. I have been deprived of spoken word for a while, so I have been indulging myself in his poetic works that naturally overflow to his music which comprise of mostly jazz and blues. Truthfully, it is the most I have listened to jazz in a while but I appreciate the mood which it puts me in. I get to thinking about what I can do or should do or aspire to do in order to see a change in this world. However, in the midst of all this thinking, I realize that I, at some point, must move past contemplation to action. I am taking active steps in that regard. To stick to the theme of this blog though, I have immersed myself in the poetic styling of Gil Scott Heron because it makes me feel lite. It gives me hope in people. Although that hope and optimism is being tested against the current socioeconomic backdrop of the middle and lower class as well as race relations. I do find it ironic, though, that so many rappers hail Heron a...
