Attraction

Our eyes meet

From across the street

You smile

I wink

You cross

I think

"Damn he's fine"

Looking like a chocolate milkshake that I want to taste

He asks me for a date

Wait!

"Isn't that a wedding band on your finger?"

He say's "yes but I'm a swinger"

This could have been so lovely

I loved the way he hugged me

Goodbye.

Rewind Wednesday - Eminem and Proof



This freestyle always makes me smile. R.I.P. Proof.

Mos Def "Say You Will" Cover


I Love it!  It's my favorite song on Kanye's Album "808's and Heartbreaks". The jamaican soul Mos Def puts on it and the live band with the rap at the end makes it even doper.  12 minutes of ear pleasure. I can listen to this all day. Photo by J. Ivy

Indi Tyton



My new facebook friend Deri Tyton sent me this video he directed. This jazz singer is his wife Indi Tyton. Him being new behind the camera and it being independently done, did a cool job I must say. I think he should keep going and his wife with that soothing voice as well! Love the story line and the Chicago back drop :)

Jerkin' - The Cali Movement


Female Jerk


There is a new dance movement in Cali called "Jerkin". You probably have heard the official song for it on the radio by the NEW BOYZ called, "You're a Jerk". If you haven't heard the song, youtube it and you'll find tons of videos with kids jerkin to it. I like the fact that Californians came up with their own dance because the dirty south has been holding it down with dances for a few years now. Being an ex dancer myself, I am always fascinated when new ones come out. If I were 16 years old again I would be JERKIN SOMETHING SERIOUS! lol!

Do they really have to do it in traffic though? Don't try that at home folks.

Rewind Wednesday - Jill Scott



This song is so powerful to me still. It was definitely one of my favs from the album. We come into this earth alone and leave out alone. Loving yourself is very important. I know a couple people who appear to be confident and happy but secretly loathe themselves. Then they wonder why their relationships don't work out, be it romantic or strictly platonic. If you don't love you, who else will?
