I have a thing for East Coast hip hop. I won’t even lie about that. “Above the Clouds” was playing earlier this week and it surprised me how much I missed this song. Guru, one of the founding members, died far too soon from a heart attack in 2010. This is exactly the type of [...]
Dangit, if Elle Varner isn’t ADORABLE. It’s not just the hair, either, but MY GOD SHE HAS INCREDIBLE HAIR. Also, this video is a throwback to a time that mirrors my high school years (minus the incredible hair, I was still trying to make it feather like all the white girls, oy, the mistakes I [...]
This song got me through some rough months. Lots of change was happening in my life and this song seemed to keep coming up on my playlist and instead of fighting it or trying to figure out what the lyrics meant or how this was affecting my life I just went with it. Just go [...]
1. Everyone has been incredibly kind during my banking fiasco especially friends who send money to my PayPal without even asking or saying they were going to do so. That was a nice surprise because I’m not the kind of person who knows how to ask for help and these seven little words: “let me [...]
Is it me, or does this song sound eerily reminiscent of Prince back in the day? (It’s not just the Atari system shot in the video either.) (Okay, maybe it reminds me of Prince from the 80s and that’s where that comes from.) Everything she sings I end up liking, but this one is my [...]
This is one of those songs I can’t really explain why I like because it’s not normally what I’d be listening to on a regular basis, but it still makes me smile. Especially this line: “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier.” Interesting video, too.
I have to take a break from talking about my banking fiasco. It’s too much right now. More updates soon. I’ve been presented with this conundrum on several occasions. The one that sticks in my mind is hearing a teacher complain about a student who wrote something in his journal that read “I’m black. You [...]
I have Adele stuck in my head this morning. It’s all I can do to stop hearing it in my head. I’m not much up for writing again about the BofA fiasco going on (as it’s still ongoing and, as yet, unresolved) so I’m focusing on music. When Mason came home to visit early this [...]
Yesterday was a long day. The kind of long day that results in collapsing on the couch into the arms of The Cuban. If you know about that sort of thing. I tried desperately today to find the strength to re-cap it to give some sort of an update. Luckily, I write everything down. It’s [...]
Too many details here would be too much, but I’ll say enough that you get the gist. Today I read the blog of a woman I’ve known virtually for a long time, Rock and Drool. She opens with a sentence that I could have written. “It’s the same old story, heard from thousands of families [...]
