Thought of the Day

We did not hesitate to call our movement an army.
But it was a special army, with no supplies but its sincerity,
no uniform but its determination,
no arsenal except its faith,
no currency but its conscience.

If It Isn't Love

Ahhh yes, tomorrow is St. Valentines day, one of the most Loved and Hated ''holidays" of the year.
Lovers of Love love it and sexy singles shun it...
[get into my Alliterations..lol]

My participation level is usually low because I personally don't believe in going all out for this occasion. There's just too much unnecessary hype around it for me. But to each their own, love yourself, love someone else, have a jolly good time. It will be business as usual for me.....[interpret that how you wish..lol]


Do you have a Valentine?

Thought of the Day

Asking is the beginning of receiving.
Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon.
At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you.
~Jim Rohn


So many times people miss out on things or information because they are too afraid to ask for for help, or assistance. But I've learned even the things that seem the most ridiculous or unfathomable, you still gotta go for it. When you put things out there and ask for the help of others you never know what you can get back.

You have a question: Ask It
You know someone that may be able to help you: Reach Out
Use all of your resources-[people] that are around you.
Allow yourself to receive, because who knows with your thought or questions you are now giving inspiration or a new idea to someone else. Its a win-win.

LMFAO: I'm In Miami B*tch

::Who:: LMFAO--A duo of Sky Blu [L] & Dj Red Foo [R]

::Sound:: Electro-Hip Hop-Club

::Label:: Party Rock/Interscope

::Known For::
Besides their zany style, they are making waves for their club hit
'I'm in Miami Bitch'

::Where the Name Comes From::
While searching for a name for his Electro/Hip-Hop group, Sky Blu decided to shoot an iChat message to his grandmother with the latest idea, seeking her opinion.
"Our new name is gonna be Sexy Dudes...what do you think of that?"
Grandma Goodfoot replied, "LMFAO".
Sky Blu, and his partner-in-rhyme, Redfoo, knew grandma was on to something. [via: Their Myspace]

I first heard these guys on the radio, and because I am an E.O.L-[equal opportunity listener] when it comes to my music, my interest was immediately piqued. I did some research-[and downloading] and got the skinny on LMFAO

Most of what I have heard from them is good, the songs are fun and catchy. As a group they definitely turn heads with their look, So I predict big things from these guys

Pump the Beat or Dump The Beat?
I'm In Miami Bitch


They Also Did a Remix to Kanye West's 'Love Lock Down'

Rocking That Thing: The Dream

The Dream-'Rockin That Thing'

This song had to grow on me a bit, but after hearing it in different settings I can dig it.

IMO: The Dream is highly talented and Highly under rated, his resume of hits for himself and other artists is quite impressive. But he doesn't seem to getting major shine yet, maybe his next album will change that...

I Am The Part You Wont Recognize

''I am America.
I am the part you won't recognize.
But get used to me.
Black, confident, cocky;
my name, not yours;
my religion, not yours;
my goals, my own;
get used to me. ''
~Muhammad Ali

Round Table: Love Is In The Air

If you have a pulse then you have heard about the Soap Opera style dramatics that are brewing between Chris Brown & Rihanna..I won't rehash it, just check your favorite celeb gossip blogs for all of the details..

My brief thoughts on it are:
1.) Domestic Violence is not cool, in any form or fashion no matter who starts it
2.) In regards to his Public Image: At the end of the day this will all blow over for him-[them], America will forget about this quickly, and he'll be back to platinum status. The public is jaded and extremely fickle when it comes to celeb screw ups. It will be a headline on Sunday and old news by Tuesday.It is What it Is....

So I Wonder:
Do You Look at Chris Brown Differently because of this?


How much will his image be tarnished due to this incident?

I'm Addicted to You

Ryan Leslie's self titled album made its grand debut today-[Feb 10th]-and is already sold out in many cities..

I can definitely say I am a huge fan of 'RLes', not only is he super talented but he's quite stylish as well. Leslie is one of the few pure musicians/producers in the game right now. The work he puts into creating music is incredible to me

He's also some what of a genius -[he enrolled in Harvard at the age of 15]

I have yet to hear a song from him that I haven't liked. Go cop the album or download it on iTunes today

'I Make Black History Everyday, I Dont Need A Month'

We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.
