Girl..This Is Your Jam

So I'm sitting here writing and listening to music and everything is all good then this song comes on by Sunshine Anderson. This song used to bump. It had all the chicks in the club with their hands up and getting their boogie on. It was like the I Caught You Cheatin and Now It's a Wrap Anthem. Every female was bumping it and every dude hated to hear it, dance to it or hear a female singing it. It was like it was the song that came before a serious man bashing session because once the song went off it was time for women to share their experiences that caused them to relate and identify with the song.

Every season has that song that evokes an emotion so powerful that you not only identify with it you keep it on replay, record it on your voicemail (yes...I said that. You know you did that at least once or twice) and quote the words in a letter or text if you didn't play the song on ol boy's voicemail. . There was Sharissa's "Any Other Night" then Erykah's "Tyrone" and then we segued on to Sunshine's "Heard It All Before". That song slipped right into rotation and ran with it.

These songs are not necessarily men bashing songs they're more along the Sparke "When A Woman's Fed Up" line of thinking. They are just there for mental stimulation and to put something on your mind and spark a thought or conversation in the right direction towards whatever that might be for you and yours. Once that direction is carved out in your mind then follow it like that yellow brick road they followed in that mythical movie and skip along the road to Keyshia's "Let It Go" and keep it moving towards your own internal peace and happiness because you have to have that to maintain regardless if you stay or if you go. Care to share? What songs spark your buttons?

A Sit Down

So while eating my brunch of toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and a warm soder and I'm watching Mob Wives Chicago. I know I'm behind an episode or two. I'm trying to catch up but any who...I'm watching the episode where Christina decides that she needs to have a face to face with Nora because Nora had the audacity to delete Christina from her Facebook. That got me to wondering, in these days and times of living in a social media world where everyone has a profile or page or two on everything from Tumblr to Twitter...is it really something to take personally when your removed or block from someone's friend list? Some people have magnanimous amounts of friends on their friends lists and can't possibly know and communicate with each and every one on a personal level and probably not interested in doing so anyway so being exed by someone shouldn't be seen as a personal attack no more than picking one gas station over the other or choosing Starbucks over Coffee Bean. I mean if Starbucks refused to give me service because they realized I've been partaking in Coffee Bean that might be a reason to have a sit down but if someone removed me from one of their friends list then so be it. Any questions!?!

So Not Cool

So...recently I was catching up on one of my favorite shows Dexter, now in its 6th season with seasons 7 and 8 coming in 2012 and 2013 respectively, when I realized the shows writers were taking a story line down an unfavorable path. Stop the presses...Deb, his adoptive sister, has feelings for him? Ummm...who thought that was a good idea? Yuck. Now, it's a tale as old as time. Whispered rumors of step-brothers and step-sisters and other non-biologicals and non-DNA sharing family members getting it on but Dexter and Deb? No, no, no, no! That is all wrong. I need to get on Showtime's website and write a letter to the upper echelon and see what we can work out because this storyline just cannot continue down the horrid path on which it currently is on. I'ma throw a BF if something isn't erased and rewritten in the script soon. And then to top it all of Deb walks in on a crucial bonding moment between Dexter and the Doomsday Killer aka Travis Marshall!? What...now it's like he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Well, he's a serial killer cop so technically he's already damned so....what is he supposed to do marry his adopted sister so she can't get on the stand and divulge all of his dark passenger's escapades? The speculation is giving me a headache. We'll find out soon enough....any thoughts or ideas on what's to come for Deb and Dexter?

Kevin Durant makes a memorable first appearance at Rucker Park

Kevin Durant doesn't need to speak about the Ruckers. Everybody's talking about his appearance at Harlem's Rucker Park Entertainers Basketball Classic Game Monday Night. The reigning high scorer and forward for Oklahoma City Thunder sank 4 haymakers wowing the crowd. Durant says he always wanted to play at the infamous Rucker's Park and sealed the deal by scoring 66 points. He displays his excitement to fans in this tweet. Check out the baller in action in the video below.

What are your favorite quotes of all time?

Asking someone to think of and even collect a list of their all time favorite quotes could cause  a major malfunction in the thinking process. For one they'd have to recollect all of the songs they've heard, books they're read, shows and movies they've watched..."of all time"...that's a lifetime of catchy phrases, thingst that have left an impression, sentiments that have stirred emotions and just plain ol' stuck in their heads for various reasons...good, bad or indifferent. Of all time...

My favorite quote of anything "of all time" would probably change with my mood, day, feeling and etc. I may quote a rap on twitter because I'm feeling that emotion that day or am having a relateable episode in my life that I feel would be best described by what Ice Cube, Biggie, Tupac or Victor Newman had to say at that moment. I rose with the dawn, handled my business, everything went as planned with my day with no hiccups "today was a good day" a la Ice Cube or "there's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing if my burgular alarm starts ringing" as Biggie said...in other words it wasn't a good day. Now, I'm on one. Thanks Drake.

Once upon a time, I read Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls. A classic book published circa 1966 that dramatizes what we currently see on reality tv shows in the nature of the Real Housewives franchise before reality tv and the rise of Jackie Collins. Anyway, in the book an aging actress, Jennifer is facing the race against Father Time. With her beauty fading, she is told that she needs to get some 'work' done to compete with the hot, young beauties of Hollywood. "Don't ever get it into you head that you have anything else to offer," she's told. Harsh.

I'll probaby think of something else I wanna quote the minute I press publish. Enlighten me...what are you favorite quotes of all time or of right now?
