Ain't Nothin Wrong with a lil Lifetime from time 2 time

I am willing to confess that there comes a certain time in a young woman's life where all she wants to do is relax either on a comfy bed or sofa and catch a Lifetime movie.

I think my time will be February 21 at 8 PM

PS- Finally Jill is back, when is the new album dropping cuz I know for SURE it will be a great one!

Digital Archeological Digs: Discovery #1

First discovery to kick of the new year/decade. Actually this was a late 2009 discovery, but it slipped my mind until after the new year. Now, I'm an avid Marvin fan borderline groupie if the man was still with us today, so I didn't really pay Stevie any mind. Now before I get cursed out, Innervisions is my ish as well as many other tracks, but I was on this "Marvin is the greatest! Hand down! There ain't no need to listen to no one else!"

BUT...

I'm on my way home from a late night Kwanzaa shindig, and my girl Thicks' man had Stevie softly playing in the background, and at that moment, my musical ear was fiendin for future fixes once I got home and to the nearest sound device. Once I gave the entire album a listen, my ear buds melted like cold vanilla ice cream on steamy dutch apple pie.

I was like...DAMN THIS ALBUM IS GORGEOUS!! WHY AM I JUST DISCOVERING THIS?!

The album that wooed me: Fulfullingness' First Finale (1974)

Check out Minnie, Nicey Williams, and Syreeta supplying the soft yet sultry soprano voices not to mention the mellow instrumentation and singin from Stevie. Even the breakup songs are amazing! And this brings me to the point the R&B IS DEAD!!! Yet, too many people rufuse to accept this painful fact. But that's a whole different post...dont you all worry!

The Alluring 3:

Heroin for Dummies...for DUMMIES

My personal favorite: "Don't always inject in the same spot" (I mean really don't we all know that already?! Isn't that why some addicts go as far as to inject in their necks, feet, and/or genetalia?!)

So I was in the waiting room with my pops, and CNN was doing a spotlight on a
"This is what you need to be doing" guide (Take Charge Take Care) for heroin. I'm sitting there saying to pops, "what do you mean a proper way to use heroin?!" He just laughed and continued to read the Sports Illustrated from 2006. I'm telling you, this pamphlet would not escape my mind. I did some research and found out that $32,000 of taxpayers' money was spent to create the 70,000 copies that would be for distribution. I'm not even gonna go there about how this is absurd on so many different levels but let me just say that... my homegirl who works in the field of drug abuse/HIV ironically makes this salary!!!

Not only that, but what user you know is gonna sit there and fully read this pamphlet, hightlight important sections, and let it marinate?! You also mean to tell me that the drug dealers are gonna inlude this in the nickel and dime bags letting their customers know that "Look you better read this guide cuz if you OD, your family better not come after me cuz it ain't my fault you ain't read the guide!" Um right!

I don't give a flyin you know what if the guide is meant to limit the startling amount of overdoses from the smack. Guidebook or not, at the end of the day you still using heroin!

PS- check out the full pamphlet here and drop some words on the blog

Grindin in Twenty Ten

I know. Where has this woman been?! Let me just make it clear to everyone that post grad life is like a sink but instead of water going down the drain, my energy by the gallons does this. It's leaky, but I refuse to fix it only because those drops go towards the blog. More on this transition in a future post.

But...

Here's a video from one the dopest panel discussions that I missed in December because i decided to wait last minute to purchase a ticket!!! ARGH!!!!!! March looks like it will be a lovely month for music...
