Month of Love (for most Month of YUCK)

Oh Hey Guys,

Sorry I've been slacking so hard. I've been busy. Let's be real, not at all. I've been bum life so hard these days. I'm a waitress with my MBA...cool?!? What can you do? I've been thinking about that. Most people say when you want things done you gotta do it yourself. I'm going to work on that. I would love to start my own Management and Event company. That would be sweet. I really just want to work in the music business. I love my job but I do not want to be a professional waitress. However, my restaurant is awesome and is definitely the perfect means to an end. I want to be out of the House of the Rents by summer so this job will help.

Anyway, let's talk music. It is the season of love. So there are a lot of great songs out there. I hate songs like Olivia Newton John's I Love You. Yuck! Songs like that are awful.  Well I'm actually watching Conan right now and Ray Lamontagne is performing. Ah, his voice.  Now a great V-Day song by him is Shelter. So pretty and his voice is so powerful and passionate that you cannot help but to fall in love with anything that exits his mouth. Another great love song is Sideways by Citizen Cope and Santana. It's a song all about feelings that never leave no matter how hard you try. Just because you forget about their existence, does not mean they are not still lingering in your heart. And the perfect song to remind your boo or booette that he or she is the only one is You Got Me by the Roots and Eykah Badu. Amazing. It's all about telling that person that no matter where I am or who I am with my heart is with you, YOU GOT ME!

Throughout the month I'll definitely be giving you some more love. I'm actually going through my own love trials and tribulations. Not at all. These issues seem to have been created within my own mind but that's okay. I've got so much love for "Zack Morris" but it's frustrating. The whole situation is so confusing and at times irritating, so much so that I try to avoid the issue in its entirety. But you cannot choose the way you feel. "Zack Morris" has been a tenant of my heart for years now and I know it will work itself out.

Ah, have you heard a name of the past and it just begins to haunt you? Like I said with the song Sideways, sometimes feelings hit you and will just never go away. You can run but you can't hide from those types of emotions. Reminds me of Usher's Throwback. But I'm only missing my Baby because I just remembered he actually existed, and not in a bad way. But when it hurts to think about them why think about them? Am I right?


And Maxwell, I LOVE This Woman's Work but really is it that hard on a man?!? And if you should be crying then just do it. Sorry Max, don't mean to hate on you I've just got some mixed emotions. Clearly, music is my boyfriend; sometimes we make love and sometimes war. Music is my lover and my scapegoat.


HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH TO ALL OF MY PEEPS!!! Although we have the shortest month in the whole year (I WILL ALWAYS BE TIGHT ABOUT THAT), at least we have one. To all those who got me to where I am, RESPECT! I would love to Dedicate Brown Skin by India Arie to all my beautiful people.


Make sure you tell someone that you love them everyday this month. <3 and be <3'd
