She is back and more mature. I can relate more to her music than I did in previous Years. Currently I have been listening to "Find My Way Back" and I have " Hunt 4 You" featuring Pleasure P as my Myspace Song. I am anticipating her CD heavily. Love it!
Take a listen Below. There is a big differnce from when we first heard her on " How to make a girl feel". I absolutely love it. I think you will too.

30th Anniversary
It's the 30th Anniversary of that song that has inspired millions and uplifted spirits. " I will Survive" By Gloria Gaynor was the only disco record to get a grammy, and I am willing to bet that we all know the words and can sing along. Not only is it an empowering anthem for women,it has become an Anthem for gay men the world over. O come on I know you can see Star Jone's and Terry McMillan's husbands singing it at karaoke.
And if you are going through some things I put it up here just for you!!! Enjoy!
Thought of The Day:
Bitchassness
Bitchassness is a popular term for someone who is deemed a poor sport. Bitchassness is a word often used by people who perpetuate it. Examples of Bitchassness can be seen in our own homes, on the streets, in the class room, in the cafe', in the club and demonstrated by those that we love, dislike, love to hate, or randoms on the street. Here is a thought: Bitchassness is really used by those who demonstrate bitchass actions on the regular, and like they say game recognizes game, and you lookin' a little too familiar. So Let's think again before calling others outside of their names.

The 44th President's Inaugural Speech!
"My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many.
They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."
"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.
Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.
Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.
To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.
We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.
For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.
Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
This is the price and the promise of citizenship.
This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.
This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.
So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:
"Let it be told to the future world…that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive…that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

MLK Day
MLK had a dream and our generation is getting to witness something that was part of that dream. As we all enjoy this day off from school. ( I have the inauguration off as well.) Please take time to remember all those who died for the cause and made our living conditions better than what they were in the past.
Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Notorious K.I.M
Before
After
Lil Kim said She was not contacted about her relationship with Biggie Smalls. However from what I see, it did bare some accuracy. She has tried to become lighter than what she was. Biggie ended up wifing faith and keeping kim as bussit baby. (I don't care what anyone says, looked like bussit to me). Basically that reinforced an Age old Stereotype that lighter skin was better. Biggie was the one who gave Kim her style, in other words he pimped her out and made her look like a common hooker. Sex sells. Lil Kim looks almost nothing like what she originally looked like, she was a pretty girl. It always puzzles me how dudes can screw a chicks self concept up, o well. She is getting her money. However, I wish they would have let her side of the story be more accurate.
I Love It When You Call Me Big Poppa!
I originally intended to write about " My bloody Valentine", but as it was sold out. I decided to see Notorious. I was curious. I mean we have all grown up listening to Biggie. We have heard the stories, we didn't really truly get to know the man in life. So the only thing left was to know him in death.
The movie simply put is good. How accurate? Not so sure. If you want to be gullible and believe everything you see and here than you will love Biggie without taking that into consideration. Now I like Biggie, and I am a fan, but he isn't as innocent as this movie possibly portrays him as. Yeah he did sell drugs, yes he did have faith and Lil Kim, but we are only given a sneak peak of the beef with Tupac. To be completely honest While both men are very influential in Hip Hop even after death, we know that without the whole East Coast/West Coast Rivalry neither man would have the type of celebrity that they both have attained. It is almost as if in death they gained more fame than they actually had in life.The movie never goes into who shot biggie. The movie never really goes into Lil Kim's real relationship with him( Blog later)
Verdict: The Movie is good.However I just advise that you come in with an open mind and leave doing research of your own. This did make me like Biggie's music more. I did walk away with a better sense of who Biggie was!

So It is January with many shows returning back after long Hiatus (in the case of Nip/Tuck) and some not so much. The shows that i am following right now are 90210, Bad Girls Club, Nip/Tuck( my true addiction) and The Real World: Brooklyn( Well we will see how long this captivates me).
So let's see... Instead of Seven strangers picked to live in a house, we are given eight. Four guys and four girls " Well sort of" as Ryan put it. There is a trans-sexual! Oh *shock*Gasp*Gasp. Like only every other show is putting a Trangendered person on. Now he or shall we say she is not a very convincing woman and everyone can clearly see that she was once a he. She stays mum on the subject, not sure of whether or not she shall tell. JD who is gay and can kind of identify with Katyln wants to go to dinner and discuss things with her. Ryan gets upset and asks " Why are you taking it to dinner without the rest of us?" Can we say salty much? anyway he may not have realized that by using the pronoun "it", he was being offensive. I won't dwell on that however he then moves on to his next question to JD." Are you Gay?". All of you who had that extra perceptive gaydar working were accurate JD is Gay.( Notice how i said he was gay before i knew for a fact?)...
Well in any case the show was pretty uneventful except for the hot tub(Which it is not the real world if the cast doesnt' strip down and hob in the tube, but even this was yawn worthy), I have no favorites... I doubt I will see the season to the end, I'm pretty disinterested.In fact, I'm indifferent. Pretty upset that every black chick as of late that gets on real world decides to get a bad weave (remember last season Brianna with those nappy ass braids?).
Maybe Next Week will present Some of that Home Grown Drama Real World is known for, only time will tell.
Ryan-The Homophobe/Army Man
Scott- The Virgin/mormon
Sarah- Girl who liked Girls. But now is in a relationship with a guy.*Emo-ish
jd- The Gay Guy/Nuturer* Who you wish wasn't.
Katelyn- The Trans-gender individual
Deaven- The Token Black Girl* Terrible Wig
chet- The Meat head who lives in the gym.*Made me think of weird science
I don't know her name ( and too lazy to look it up)- Girl who will prolly get jealous.

Kells
I have been saying I was going to write this blog for a very long time. It didn't make 2008, but In 2009 why not?
With songs like " The Greatest" and " I believe I can Fly"or what about" Sadie" (classic) .... it's hard to think of R.kelly as a sexually charged individual who is having sex with young teen aged girls. Then you hear his other songs like "The Greatest Sex" or " Sex in the kitchen" and let us not forget about " bump and Grind". So While we recognize that this man is a genius, let us not forget Aaliyah. Wasn't she secretly married to him at one point? Wasn't she his protege' like the girl in the video? I don't plan to really drag Aaliyah through the dirt here, because in the situation she was a child. Now that she is no longer with us, she can't really tell her side of the story or to what the extent of her relationship was with R.Kelly.
So he is innocent?
Really?
So that means that every person who is ever assaulted by a person with enough money or enough clout can just be paid off, or just fade into the background altogether. I can not stand a pedophile. Not that any one really likes these individual, but they are just a whole nother level of sick individual. I am however a psychology major and i have to see why they do these things. When it comes down to it we all have personal preference and the things that we like and want in a future partner. I know this is twisted, but follow me. I like light skinned guys that are at least 5'8. You may like Dark Skin guys who are 5'2 in any case it is what you like. Now here is the sick part, some people are wired differently they like prepubescent kids. They like when the body isn't fully matured.
R.Kelly was asked " Does he hang out with teenagers?" To which he responded." Define teenagers." Was he really serious? Anything ending in teen is a teenager. He is so far from reality, but i am confident that he hangs out with teens all the time in that case. Let's hope from now on he keeps it at the legal consenting age of 18. I don't care how fast a 14 year old is she has no business doing an old man.And Vice Versa.
So My verdict is this. Those who are genius, also have been known to be a little different than most. Some are eccentric like Einstein, some are pedophiles like R. Kelly and MJ.
We will discuss MJ later... If you disagree with me call my bluff. Say what you believe.
