Clothes, Clothes and More Clothes.

the name of the line had me hooked instantly
thier t-shirts are pretty cute

Princess of The Posse


Retro Chic. I love it.

Let's Party Like It's 1980 something.

tomorrow i'm going to an 80's party.

like i said in the blog yesterday, i shouldn't let my youth pass me by so despite all the homework i have due next week i'm going to go out and enjoy myself. drink liquor and be a teenager.

i only live once.

Last Time, I Promise.



i adore trey songz album Trey Day.

Him, Lloyd & Mario are definitely up and comers that i expect great things from.

enjoy Trey Songz video Last Time

Never Looking Back Again.

Diva Alicia



Alicia Key's latest video Teenage Love Affair. The song is not only great the video is too. I am absolutely in love with it. The whole concept is great (it is a music video remake off the film School Daze, a Spike Lee Classic). She has such a presence (even in a music video) and you never want to take your eyes of the tv. Alicia Keys i truly think you deserve to be labeled a diva because you are truly becoming someone i admire and look up to (as should other young women). She has evolved so much from her first single Girlfriend and i can't wait to see what she has in store for later albums.

Enjoy the video everyone.

The Moral To The Story Is

as i approach the end of my sophmore year in college, i am realizing how fast the years are going by.

a little too fast for my taste

before you know it i will be graduating with a bachelors degree and not knowing what to do with my life.

i suppose i have to find a job once i graduate. well it wouldn't even be considered a job, by that point i will be 21 years old with a career. yes, 21. the most anticipated age.

is it normal that i am not excited? i am the opposite of a 19 year old living in new york city suprisingly. i rarely go out, and i haven't drank in about a year or so,(which isn't a bad thing, but for a second year college student it isn't nomal, ha).

what can i say i have done that is incredible from 18 up until i reach age 21. nothing. absolutely positively nothing.

i wonder if there is such a thing as a late teen crisis. i am definitely having one. i guess i'm going to start doing the things that someone my age should be doing. traveling, going out on the weekends and having an incredible job where i can just blow off money.

school is ending and summer is the nothing but the best time for me to get this youth party started.

Lost In Thought

I wonder if things are going to end in my favor this time.

Yet again found someone that seems suitable but that's the problem they all always SEEM suitable but turn out to be otherwise.

He's a Gemini.

I am a Leo.

The stars say we will work but i guess my lack of trust says otherwise. You would think at this point i am past trust issues but i am haunted by my past. The fact that i was a good person that had bad luck with the opposite sex. I have grown so much since those people so i should probably push aside my doubt. He embodies all the things that i could possibly want in a guy. Determined and understanding. I hate to think this is all a facade.


Sorry ladies and gents, i will not be sharing his name because i want to keep him personal. Some things are better left unsaid so i shall keep you guessing. do not ask, i will hurt your feelings.

I will wait and see.

Right now i am happy but i am taking it one day at a time because i hate for my happiness to slip out my hands as it has so many times before. One time too many.

Please let him keep his word. For once i'd like to be the one that has happiness rather than the one sharing my sob story. I am tired of being the one to hurt and cry.

I Put Her on the Map.

Girlicious is finally complete. Take a look at their new video for their first single, Like Me.

The track is great suprisingly.

I can definitely relate to this song.

:raises eyebrow:

you know who you are lady. haha.




the guys may question this post but for those of you that know me personally know i'm the queen of girly. so take it as it is, ha.

No Posting.

for the next few days.
i am extremely sick.

i'm lying. i'm definitely lying.

I've Waited For This

gossip girl!!!
finally a new episode of gossip girl tonight. best show in existence, hands down.

PS. i download each episodes soundtrack right after the show because the show features the best indie music ever. suprisingly.

I Prefer Leggings Because

they make my thighs look amazing. Yes everyone, i am really concieted when it comes to my legs. i was truly blessed. All those years of soccer truly paid off. Short girl with killer legs. Hence me wearing leggings more than jeans.

But i really want these american apparel acid wash jeans.
Consider this post a request and if you want to fulfill it, feel free.

American Apparel

I Wish

I didn't have a sore throat.

In the middle of spring. Random time to start feeling the beginings of cold

Truly god, you have a way with me. One day i'll understand your theories.

Lacking

In a discussion with my friend Justin i realized how much people fail to appreciate a good person.

I have always been the type to go out my way for a friend, even if i hadn't known them that long.

I am a strong believer in maintaining good relationships with people because you will always need that person to help you out in some way shape or form.

I would even go as far as "taking the shirt off my back" for a friend or significant other.

I suppose i did a little too much. Those very people i went out my way for were the first to shit on me.

It really makes me question my character.

Am i to blame for so many negativie people entering life. Is it my fault they exited faster than they came.

Saturday, April 19, 2008

Oye Vey.

i wish people would just accept me for who i am rather than who they want me to be.

I am a creative soul. I like to dress the way i like to dress and have zero problem with the fact that i try new styles and i'm unafraid.
Now if you have a problem with that, then that's another story.
i promise i do it tastefully.

never tacky

stop criticizing

i hate fitting into a crowd, when the crowd is so different than who i am. I have my own comfort zone and it suits me just fine, thank you.

oh and for those of you that compliment me, kudos to you.

We Miss You, Well I Do.

Paula, please release another album! I remember when her first album dropped i played the thing like tons of times. She has a bunch of great tracks that for most girls are easily relatable.

PAULA DEANDA


come back Paula we miss you.

Oh Lily, Why?

Lily Allen at the private viewing of Paul Simonon's new paintings at Thomas Williams Fine Art gallery


Lily Allen went blonde. Don't know about everyone else but i know it took me by surprise. It was rather disappointing. Amy was the first to go blonde and now Lily (well recognized brunettes now join the category of playboy bunnies and bay watch "babes")

hopefully she and Amy decide to go back to their dark hair.

There must be some type of "blonde's have more fun" plague in England.

She Deserves It.

Melody Thornton of the Pussycat Dolls absolutely deserves her own album. I love Nicole Scherzinger but Melody is the voice of the group. Her voice is powerful and reminiscent of Christina Aguilera.

Melody Thornton18


I found this track, "Go To Far" by Jibbs featuring Melody Thornton, randomly searching on youtube and thought it was cool.
The video is lame and the rapper is eh, but i like the fact they sampled one of my favorite Janet Jackson songs.

Melody keep on singing, your solo debut will come soon.



Side Note: Melody is currently the love interest of Bow Wow, sorry ladies.

Side Note # 2: Someone tell me what happened to Asia, the girl that won Search for the next doll. She represented Westchester (my hood, suburb rather), but it's been a year, and she is no where to be found. Disappointing, yes.

The Story of My Life.

The reason i love being single.

I am running to the theater once this movie drops.



"should i get you a diamond?"

"no just get me a really big closet"

yes carrie, yes. you are my hero.

Cold As Ice.

Coldplay
Coldplay is incredible. If you think otherwise, then your musically lost in life.

Disturbing.

Ok what ever happened to plain internet access, email, and instant messaging. Today i logged on my myspace and there was a advertisment that said "want to know when your going to die?"

Um not really. Ha.
I'll just wait for nature to take it's course?

Internet taking on the role of god. Interesting and disturbing at the same time.

It really makes me question society.

Sexual Deprivation

is the worst kind of punishment.

Lovely.



the type you can take home to mother.

"No Comment"

I texted/called him.

Yesterday.

I am waiting without hope to see his name on my inbox but i doubt it will ever happen.

Funny how you could give a person everything but they will forget you in a few months.

It makes me wonder if the person that expected me to trust him would care if i died or was injured.

It says alot about a person's character.

Selfish is he and as much as i try not to hate him, i do more and more with time.

What Lies Behind What We See.

I beat myself up from time to time when i realize how foolish i was for believing the fairytale i created in my head about love.

Love is dead and it is extremely rare that people have a fairytale ending.
Happiness ends faster than sadness.

I guess that means all the trouble i went through was for nothing.

The same nothing that obviously wouldn't last forever.

I suppose that could be the reason i am not completely unhappy with the fact that i am single.

It gets to me occasionally but honestly out of all the guys i have 'been with' not one of them truly knew about my mind. They simply knew i was a "chill girl".

They usually discovered how "amazing and deserving" i was too late.

But i have always been deserving.

Now forever means nothing to me.

Promises are a waste of words. Instead, I want to hear what you won't do for me but with me instead. Don't make empty promises that you clearly will never be able to keep.

My Apologies.

I realize there is a lack of posting lately. I apologize.

The spring semester is finishing up and i haven't really had time to post. On the school grind. I am working my best to post at least once a day. Today you guys got lucky, i was truly in a blogging mood.

Hopefully before summer begins there will be a new layout for the blog and some great interviews.

I am going to try to even fill you in a little bit more on the love life since it seems to interest so many of you. (trust me i have tons to say on that issue since my love life is non existent yet the past still seems to haunt me)

I am still accepting music suggestions so feel free to add me to your buddy list and shoot them over to me.

Until tomorrow.

No Matter What Anyone Says.

I hope they have lots of babies.

Here's to the good life!


end of story.

East Coast Loves Safe Sex Kids.

Let's mix Queens hip hop and Bronx hip hop, shall we.

The NYC Condoms mixtape drops in May. A Prophit and Lloyal collabo. No i am not promoting safe sex, but instead putting you all on to one of the best mixtapes by two extremely determined unsigned artists. (heads up to all record companies, the children have grown up and are back and better than ever)

Most of you are familiar with their work with children of the night and the numerous solo tracks they released on their myspaces'.

Finally the best together in one mixtape. No hype just good music.

nyc condoms


wrap it up babies and put on your headphones.

time machine.

Lately i've been listening to a bunch of classics during my train rides to school.

Al Green
Marvin Gaye
Otis Redding
Al Jarreau
O'Jays
The Temptations
Joe Tex
the list goes on and on.

People have such a lack of knowledge when it comes to where music really came from.
I have always had an appreciation for the history of music. i guess that has alot to do with the way my parents raised me, my father a true mo-town lover and my mother the queen of the disco.

Remember ladies and gents before notorious BIG's juicy there was mtume and before jay-z's ignorant shit there was the Isley brothers.

Travel The Globe With Fiasco.



this is the new paris tokyo video. i am just wondering did the coolest video drop yet? (i could be extremely late) i saw a commercial for the making of the video on BET but where is the video? I feel that the coolest had more depth than paris, tokyo and i was really looking foward to see what the creative minds behind that song would put together when it came to visuals.

As for this video, i am not feeling it what so ever. Lupe went out his comfort zone and it completely crashed and burned. He isn't himself and you get a huge sense of that in this video. He is lupe. He needs to stop trying to be like Jay-Z and Kanye and stick to the nerd that we fell in love with a few years back.

If i turned on mtv and this video came on i would most likely change the channel.

New Job Es or Nujabes?

Have you ever closed your eyes and just felt the music coming through your speakers? I get that emotion everytime i turn on lady brown, reflection eternal and feather.

Nujabes


Only a handful of Nujabes tracks but even a handful of his tracks/instrumentals give you that experience (yes, each and every single time). His instrumentals are a mix of electric yet peaceful sounds and when paired with rappers like Cise Star, Shing and Substantial you instantly fall in love.

For those of you that are familiar with him your definitely on your music game and for those of you reading on him for the first time i definitely suggest you try him out. you won't be disappointed. take a listen to some of my personal favorites.



Tuesday, April 8, 2008

rhythm and blues.



the appeal of this video speaks for itself. everyone knows i need my dose of rnb. where are the guys like raheem devaughn. i need to meet them.

(i apologize for the delay in lip syncing its the only "customer" video i could find that had the html code)

I Never Saw This Coming.

the next single from the paramore album, riot! is 'thats what you get'. take a look at the new video. It's a great video. They definitely did a good job of staying true to themselves.

No But Really

john mayer earned himself two posts simply because i listen to him often.

Photobucket


he is the truth. his music is food for the soul that enters my body through my ears.
orgasmic yet mellow. john mayer i love and adore you. he is the one thing that lifts my spirit on the worst day.



here is a list of his best tracks (found it on imeem and agreed one hundred percent with the creator of this lovely list). have a musical orgasm.

They Dropped A Wack One.



Solange you are not your sister, your not Beyonce. Stick to acting and dancing. Thanks.

SOLANGE


she smiles because she agrees.

It's Not Sexy, If It's Sweaty.



i like the song but why on earth would you make love in a club? Thats kind of nasty. I mean the video is great but as Wendy Williams said earlier this afternoon on 107.5 fm, don't try it yourself. It's just not working unless your usher. And for those of you that have tried to have sexual 'engagements' in a club before this song do not try again thinking its ok because it has recently become a public 'thought'.

Enjoy the video anyway but i repeat do not try this at a club near you. Results could be tragic.

Mean Green.



vivian green. if i could thank you for writing this song in person, i most definitely would. it is the truth. sometimes you just have to see your way out of terrible relationship situations and vivian made the song that preaches that theory. she definitely promotes female independence well and whats not to love about that. thank you miss green. ♥

Let Me Share With You The Beauty Of Poetry.

Poetry has always been something that sparked my interest. It is amazing the amount of power you have with words. Words are weapons. Words share knowledge. Words are what i hang on to. Def Poetry Jam is my favorite source of live poetry. Here are some female poets i have fallen' in love with. They definitely inspire me to continue on my journey towards becoming a successful writer/journalist.







Ultimately poetry can be therapy for a female, particularly in relation to the male mentality. Ha.

So Much More Than Meets The Eye.

For the most part we are all familiar with Keri Hilson because of her numerous collabos with artists like Lloyd Banks (Help),Timbaland (The Way I Are) and Snoop Dogg (Happy Juice) but what about the work Keri Hilson has done as a solo artist. Lets not forget about that.

Photobucket


Here are some tracks that tickle my fancy. I think the ladies will find these appealing.




The Benefits Of Having Musically Inclined Friends.

Lloyal put me on (literally about two minutes ago) to the new outkast track. Royal Flush. Its a great relaxed old school type feel and with summer around the corner thats the exactly type of music i want to hear artists coming out with. Outkast always delivers. Enjoy and lets thank Lloyal.

Uh Huh Ok What?

Sometimes i have no idea what the hell lil' wayne is talking about but he sure does a good job of making people love him. Yes i am guilty of having alot of his tracks from hismany mixtapes on my ipod. The kid promotes himself real well, so if he wants to 'hit ya make you do the mack-ee-reyna' then so be it. i have no idea who what that means, but it sounds good.



a few people put me on to this track. i like it because my moms name is millie. i sang it to her. she liked it.


meet my mommy (and my sister)

A MILLIE and mini millie lol

Shine On Estelle.

Photobucket
estelle's album is on point and i can't stop listening to it. she has tons of great tracks that are all unique. nothing on the album is similiar which is definitely a nice twist since so many artists make tracks that sound exactly the same.

Always On Time.



Ashanti is pulling a Christina Aguilera and trying to reinvent herself. I applaud her, she is doing an incredible job, she looks stunning in the video and already has tons of people singing along to her song The Way That I Love You. Including myself. Ashanti you never disappoint with your classic r&b tracks that every girl can relate to and videos that guys simply drool over.

Is It Dedicated To You?

KIM KARDASHIAN


Attacks towards the ever so popular Kim Kardashian of Keeping Up With The Kardashians?


Kim previously dated the RnB singer Ray J. and got caught up in scandal as so many celebrity personalities do. The videos were of Kim's sexual engagements with Ray J. during their relationship.

Ray J. recently dropped a new single called "Sexy Can I", extremely catchy if i must say so myself but unfortunately it seems like some type of attack towards Kim, a subliminal almost. With lyrics like "It's a kodak moment, let me go and get my camera All I wanna know is, sexy can I" you can't help but wonder. Not too long ago Ray J. was a guest on The Tyra Show. After hearing this song a few times, i am curious to know if his appearance on the tyra show was a publicity stunt. Pretending to sympathize with Kim's negative publicity. We may never know. I like the song none the less.

Like A Virgin or Like An Old Lady.


i have no idea how i feel about the justin & madonna collabo. i turned on the television and saw the two of them dancing and all i remember thinking was the young and the old. the song is ok and the beat is fierce. i mean i expected a little better from the classic madonna and the talented justin timberlake. i like the fact that timbaland is in the video, i guess that would be because i'm a huge fan of his. other than that, i could take or leave this song.

Si Yo Se.

Meet Si*Se.

Photobucket
when i first heard her track 'the truth' i was instantly hooked, logged on itunes and beasted to download her album. sorry illegal downloaders you won't find her on limewire. Si*Se is a New York City native artist. Indie music with a hint of latin vibes that you can't help but fall in love with. Don't you just love New York and it's good music? I hope to see Si*Se in concert, i hear she is quite the performer.

Take a peak at her work. I promise it's worth your listening ear.

A Dose of Si*Se

It's definitely a breath of fresh air to see that spanish women are more than the background dancers in hiphop videos. Si*Se is the proof.

Change For The Better Or The Worse.

I guess what they say is true, practice what you preach. Truth be told, i am guilty of not practicing what i preach. I've been told i give incredible advice but i've noticed the people i advise happen to share the same personality traits as myself.

I have to take my own advice. I've been told one time too many and i think it's about time i start listening to all those people that told me to just follow my own words. I guess you could say it's easier said than done but that would be the weak answer. Instead i am going to start making myself happy.

I've decided to start dieting. I start tomorrow. Wish me luck.

For now i am going to eat my last round of oreos and milk since i won't have that for a good long while.

I Want More, Paramore.

Thanks to my best friend and her sister (Julie and Nicole) I am madly in love with the band Paramore. I know it's completely cliche but their album is actually pretty catchy. i put it on full blast when i am in a bad mood and it works wonders. It is definitely better than throwing things around my room (yes, i used to do this).

Oh Paramore your my anger management

paramore


Oh Paramore if only you knew how you provide me therapy.

Melancholy.

A dry response has left me feeling unworthy.

I gave you the biggest part of me, and now i am simply a lost memory. A burden of some sort. I wonder if the moments we shared were pretend and you knew that your promises were empty.

I wonder if i am to blame for believing so shortly after deception you were slightly different.

To you i am not worth a decent answer but instead a "no comment" so that i am left hanging like i had been so many other times with you amd others.

You chose not to know me. You chose to disregard the effort i put forth every moment i spent with you.

I don't believe in crying, but i believe in hurt and i hurt at this moment.

I Like, Lykke.






everyone knows i'm obsessed. everything i could say about lykke li, i've said a hundred million times. she is the best, i mean she can play the piano with her foot. come on! you're all sleepin' on european music. just watch the videos and call it a day. KA-peeshhh.

Weed & Yeah Yeah Yeah's Mix Well Together.



yemil and i have come to the conclusion that the lead singer of the yeah yeah yeahs has a sexy voice, almost orgasmic?

London Bridges in New York?

NYLON

the best magazine ever, NYLON. five dollars an issue and worth every cent. their music section is on point and they have the best fashion tips.

:Cough, Cough:

I do not value opinions that are clearly criticism and not constructive in any way shape or form. The end.
