Every now and then there's a song that just steals my soul. And once I hav it I MUST play it several times until I get tired of it, then I listen to another song and put it on repeat again. THIS is one of those songs for me. Its about a guy shes chasing thats really sweet- like honey. It just puts me in a happy place! Its probably got to be her unique voice over a hot ass 9th wonder beat. She's so talented and has such a strong mind. Im in a class called the creative spirit and basically its all about how everyone expresses themselves. She is a master at it, which is y I've always loved her. She's a trendsetter and makes me feel better about expressing who I am.
And the video is DOPE! C if u can keep up

Not Beat for Bumming
WARNING. THERE'S NO MAIN POINT IN THIS BLOG- JUST VENTING. Those who hav visited my facebook today kno that my status was evil, but thats jus how I felt, and I needed to express it. Not only did my bastard ex ruin my day and the next few months of my life, but I jus had a wake up call and realized how much catch up i hav to play to maintain gud grades. While growing spiritually and socially, I've been declining academically. But I hav 4 more withdrawals and the gift of manipulation to fix it; being motivated to start mending was the feat. Im officially tired of being a bum student and hav decided to get bac on my grind and focus my energy on an activity. Practice for this fashion sho and a job will probably b the focus factors. I've cum to find out that this is wat i've been lacking is structure. Now that i've found something structured to focus on, everything will fall in place.

"Love in the club" tho?
Ok class, raise ur hand if u miss Usher! When "Confessions" hit the stores, got slammed in a bag and clicked into my CD player, it created a soundtrack for my "highschool" drama. Then I noticed that I appreciate Usher, not only for his vocals but for his lyrical content. I can relate to almost every song I've heard from him.
Seriously, think about it.
You Don't Have to Call- made u feel superior to ur ex
U Make Me Wanna- everyone has wanted to get with their b/f or g/f's friend, even if it wasn't the same person who hooked yall up.
My Boo- nuff said
Burn- helped u move on
Nice N Slow- had everyone curious, we were too yung to relate (at least my generation was)
U Got It Bad- made u realize jus how much u cared about that special someone
My Way... Yeah... That's What It's Made For?<--- MY SHYT!!
He kinda disappointed me with the last single, but even stars dim... and then they impregnate and marry manly women who already have three kids. love is blind.
Anywho, I just heard this new single from Usher yesterday. This star may have found his shine again. The beat was hot, but being the critical person i am, I questioned "makin love in the club tho? is he serious?" My listening mate (who purposely remains nameless), responded "U've never felt that way?" I replied, "...actually, yes. yes i have" BINGO! Usher has done it again, he wrote a song just for me. sidebar- Jeezy fucked this song up, he's trash
So listening to this song made me think about the times when we( ladies) do go to the club, and spot that one guy who is just glowing. And wen that RIGHT song comes on, u feel like ur in a video, u throw on ur sexy stare and slowly walk towards him "bam, bam, bam". Then... u break him DOWN! to 1. secure those digits, and 2. giv him something he always remember u by. Then he calls and ends up being a self-absorbed asshole, but thats beside the point, bcuz that 1 moment that made ur night was worth it.

A Woman's Worth
I just got out of a long relationship, so naturally, I'm tip toeing back into the dating world as I adjust to the single life. A good friend of mind and I had a conversation about how everyone has some sort of impact on life and and every person changes your perspective if even just slightly. Slowly weaning off a person that i've been so deeply intertwined with makes me realize a lot about myself. It kind of sets a guard up from the next intruder, while revealing how unique and intriguing I am. It creates that much needed self pride that I needed when I first realized it was time to let go.
Immediately when you start to deal with a person on an intimate level, and unconsciously began to change to please them. Breaking up, for me, has the reverse effect of that. It makes me appreciate the flaws that got on his nerves so bad, and create a kind of arrogance, the same arrogance displayed by the woman in the following poem. I also spoke with someone else recently, who said I was looking for mr. perfect, like that was asking for too much. Damn rite, i want the perfect mr. for my ms. I was introduced to this poem tonight, and think it totally reflects the mind state that im in. Don't get me wrong tho, you can never have too many "friends".
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing, "What kind of man are you looking for?"
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."
She began to expound..."
As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.
She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more."
"I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.
She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man."
"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster."
"I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded."
"I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself.
"When she finished her spiel, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, " You're asking a lot."
She replied, "I'm worth a lot."
