Its Time To WAKE UP!!

Normally I am the first person to advise of media intentional attempts at world-wide paranoia, but this message was definitely truth. Thanks @Joseph Guinn for posting this on your Facebook. Funny how so many people will comment on random blah thoughts that we share daily with the world but something of importance is rarely received by many.  Sorry that the music is playing... but you guys can just double click on the video and it should take you to another tab. Please watch this... I support messages like this!!

Let It Go... Have We Forgot The Definition of ..."Old"?

TWITTER - It just wouldnt be me to not comment on this topic. @kanyewest will never get a break from the media and true talent will never fully be embraced. How can we expect a diminishing world to evolve? We live in a world were two human beings are put in a cage and paid to beat the crap out of each other. This is entertainment now! A society were content is less important and image is more of substance.  My friend and I were watching an ESPN special today about ... yeah.... black vs. white negative publicity however they were referring to sports. We were in a  bar and couldnt get the sound turned up on the show... figures right? I'd like to see Spike Lee host a show about anything. As jaw-dropping as many of his statements can be sometimes, he speaks his only knowledge of truth and stands behind it. I can appreciate that!

Well my point is, the negative publicity against minorities has become a major part of entertainment. I hate to be the angry black woman with her leather gloved fist in the air, but sometimes it is what it is... Sometimes a joke is only a joke when dictators say it is and sometimes joking about your own situation causes everyone else around you to react negatively. Who hasn't made fun of the pointless, yet infamous "Taylor Swift Award Interruption" line? I personally think that Kanye's comment to Britney Spears was harmless and obviously a point that this artist, Kanye West is very aware of where and how his music is rated on the charts. Maybe we need more artist like this? or Maybe "LOL" doesnt mean that "Others will Laugh Out Loud". With all the crappy entertainment out here right now, you'd think that society would continue to embrace their sense of humor?? #ImJustSayin'

Excited About The New Year!!

Im so ecstatic about the new year! There are so many reasons we all should be. I for one, am happy that I have yet another chance to focus on my own projects. The conclusion of 2010 gave me so much insight on whats important to me. We often get so lost in the hoopla that comes along with a subject that we lose sight of the topic at hand.

Its so easy for many to say, "I am going to be me". But how many people actually do it? I found myself getting caught between an image and just being me. So focused on those two things that should both come naturally. Music was no longer a priority. 2010 I couldnt find a connection with music. Through the course of 2010 that has definitely changed.

Now we are in the New Year and I have a completely different perspective. Why cant I just live this music? Why does it have to be so separate. After all, it doesnt require two different personalities. Does it? Not for me... not this year! This year Im super excited. I feel Im destined to shine within. Accepting and loving my own abilities and talent is more important than getting others to embrace it. The love and support comes when there is consistency and dedication. I truly believe this. 11-11-11... Thats this year!! (Its also my birthday)! There's no better sign that I can make the unexpected possible!! How about you??!!

Teena Marie Leaves Her Legacy of Soul at Age 54

Worst way to find out that someone you know or admire has passed, is through the internet. For some reason getting this information through an actual news outlet is accepted as confirmation. Tonight, many of us received this tragic news through internet sources. I was on Twitter and thought that once again, Twitter crazies had killed another celebrity through rumors. There were at least 3 other "publicly known sources/sites" that were attempting to confirm this information through sources online. In the end we all were hoping for a horrible hoax to ignore but it was finally reported on the news that Teena Marie was deceased.

Death is not an easy thing to accept for many and most times its questioned even when it makes sense to accept it. Many of her fans were affected by her passing. Some of those fans were very close friends and family members to me. I grew up listening to many of Teena Marie's popular tunes as a child. I even covered "Sunny Skies" in a lower octave (from her 80's album "Emerald City") earlier this year. Over 12 albums of great songs written by her. Teena Marie's soulful sounds and warm heart was easily embraced by all who listened to her music. I honestly feel that if you dont know Teena Marie's music... even just one song... You dont know soul music...

Here are some other tributes I thought were interesting:
