While watching tv the other night I fell in love with this song. Decided to share. Her voice is hypnotizing and the words intoxicating. Welcome Miss Arika Kane.

Chris Brown Teaches Us How To Dougie REAL

I've always been a lover of the underdog. No matter who or what, it's impossible to cheer for the "given" winner. This is probably why I continue to love this cat. Don't get me wrong, because of my love for the hot boy, which seems to have drawn me to that "swag" dude in the past, I have been a victim of domestic violence. I do fault him but I believe I'd dislike him so much more if he was much older and had lived through some life experience.

This is just my own opinion, but he has two issues in his favor that allow me to forgive him...#1 He came from a family of domestic violence and therefore was a witness to it. Statistics show more often than not if you see it, you live it. As much as we would like to say "that should have pushed him further away from using physical violence", its not that simple. Children learn what they see, even if it takes years to manifest itself.

#2 Ms. Ri-Ri also came from a family of violence. She herself has stated she witnessed mommy and daddy throwing bows at each other and its what was normal in her family. This makes me know, when she saw a text coming over from another woman, which I'm sure wasn't the first...she started dropping "bombs" on C. Breezy! It's not an excuse...whatever it's my opinion and unless you have been tagged in your face with force, you don't know what you, as a "young" man not in control of his emotions, may do.

Nuff' said on that. The dude is trying his best to come back...maybe he will, maybe he won't, but he has my support. I'll listen to his records and watch his music...heck, at the end of this video dude made me revamp my Dougie! He has energy and he is excited about life!

On Lock Down - Music

Laying quiet a few days and decided to remake the play list, deleted a few but added some new stuff to my repertoire. Digging some of my new artists, wanted to share.

Artist Alert - Nitty Scott (She's a bad chick)

Who is Nitty Scott M.C.? One of the hottest up and coming female rappers out right now. Don't let the pretty face fool you- this chick is something serious on the mic. No silly gimmicks required.

Dee-1 is one of the most underrated rappers out right now. The difference between his music and the majority of what's being played on the radio is that there's always a message in his lyrics. In "Jay, 50 and Weezy" the message is that there are emcees who have the money, the power, and the voice to use for a greater purpose yet for some reason choose not to. And he approaches this topic with the utmost respect for each artist. Listen to Dee-1′s debut album David & Goliath, you'll have no choice but to rethink your views on New Orleans hip-hop. The usual money, cars, hoes, club anthems and dope slangin' themes are replaced with catchy thought provoking lyrics that glorify his city, his parents, his family and his come up.

Married Couples Dance

My good friends over at BlackAndMarriedWithKids.com hipped me to this beautiful video of a couples' dance ministry at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. I mean, they had me at Babyface, but how lovely to see husbands and wives so publicly expressing their love for and commitment to one another through an art form so meaningful to us.

*sigh*

Indeed, love's the place to be.

Very Sweet...moves my heart

Have you Ever...

Felt something so deeply in your soul but you found it impossible to explain it to anyone in the world who could possibly begin to understand? I heard a song today and put it on my blog. The song touched me so that my eyes begin to almost water a bit and before I knew it I realized my eyes were closed and I was listening to every lyric and everybit. I knew the artist didn't realize when they made the song that a little yellow girl would be sitting at her computer in 2010, close her eyes and feel as if the song was made just for me. Wow! The power of music still amazes me.

Theme Music

My first love is music. I begin each day with it and I end each night with it. Music is the language of my heart and I could not imagine life without it. Every person has a soundtrack to their life. Songs that signify a special person, a unique place, a family gathering, or even a broken heart. Today, I am having a hard time putting words together. I am finding difficulty in synching my tongue [and fingers] with the body and soul. Therfore I am sharing with you the current melody that my heart beats.

I hope you enjoy. I may just a foolish dreamer but I don't care....
