In A Perfect World

So I've been listening to Keri Hilson's debut album, "In A Perfect World" and I must say that I am impress. She def brought her A -game with this album. With several slow jams and women anthems, I must say that Beyonce, might have a little bit of competition in the future. Now I'm not saying that she better than Beyonce or on the same level, but Keri Hilson definitely has a future ahead of her in the music industry. In the past she has written songs for Beyonce, Ne-yo, Rihanna, and many more and you can tell that's a talent for her. She has songs on her album that can apply to any situation that a female is in. From, cheating, to love-making, to break-ups, Keri Hilson brings a soulful, yet edgy at time tone to the music business. I'm expecting more impressive projects in the future.

Square One

When is enough, enough? When the frequent texting starts to end? When you only see him once a week? Or when you've been talking since September, and there still is no title?? Now, I'm not one to nag or complain but I just dont get it! If you like someone, what is keeping you from being with them??? How long can that excuse "I'm just not ready to settle down" last? If I'm the only girl your talking to or messing with, what's so hard about making it official? Is it going to take me moving on for you to realize it? I'm not one to fall or trust someone unless they mean someting to me, but why put yourself out there if they keep hiding how they truly feel?? I just dont get it. Just when you think things are moving forwards, he does something to bring you right back to square one....

What's Love Gotta Do With It?

I was talking to my mom the other day and we were having a heart to heart, boy are those rare! lol but anyways, we got on the topic of Men. she was explaining to me her feeling about love and how she has been feeling lately towards her boyfriend. I think it was so cute to hear my mom describe these feelings she has about her boyfriend and how she wishes that everyone else feels this feeling as well. I tried to explain to my mom why I think it's impossible to experience that feeling here in college...boys just aren't ready. Now I'm not going to put it all on guys, because girls has their own issues as well. I hate how everyone tries to make excuses about why they can't settle down or just be with one person. The one line that i hate the most is "I like you and I care about you, I'm just not ready". I'm sorry but that's just BS to me. If you have so many feeling for someone, then being with just them shouldn't be a problem. Don't talk about how you feel unless you are for sure. It's not hard to be with just one person. Part of living life means to take risk. It's not always good to play the safe side.

Sitting there listening to her over the phone made me realize that Love shouldn't be something that you are afraid to feel, especially since, so many people enjoy this feeling and it was created by God. Now I know somethings that make you feel good aren't always good for you in the end. Being in Love, means taking some risk and making sure that the feelings are mutual. I've experience Love once in my life and I must say, I enjoyed that can't eat, sleep, or do anything else but think bout that special someone. Even though things didn't work out in the end, I will always have a love for him and those memories that we share. But if Love is what my mom is feeling and what I have felt in the past, I think I can give it another try....someday....

Sophomore Slump??

So I was driving around today back at home listening to J. Holiday's new album and I must admit, I'm proud of it. Although his first album, "Back of My Lac" was pretty good to me, others didn't feel the same way. Maybe it's because he's a DC native, which is why I like it, but for real, I think it was pretty good. Now it's his sophomore album and I feel like he has grown a lot as an artist. The songs kind of have the same tempo and meanings as the first, but overall I'm impressed.



Besides from J. Holiday's album, The Dreams new album came out yesterday as well. I have to say, this album is not one of my favorites right now. I was pretty disappointing in this album because his debut album was like that! I loved practically every song on that album, especially, "Purple Kisses". on this album however, besides from the radio sing "Rocking that Thing", the album isn't satisfying.

With this being these two artists sophomore albums, I expected more of a growth besides from the same flow as their debut albums.

Fairytales without the Happy Ending??

I know many of us remember when we were younger hearing several stories that always started out with the "Once upon a time..." and they always ended with "and they lived happily ever after" "Happily ever after" what does that even mean? Does our generation understand the real meaning of being happy? I was talking to my girl Morgan tonight about, what else, Boys. We tend to have these discussions whenever something goes down with us and the boys we LET into our lives. I guess you can say I value my friend opinions about things but in the end it's me who determines the ending result. But today Morgan, mentioned something that I had to agree on, "There is no such thing as princesses and they don't find their prince." Now at first I thought that as a little cold, but I must admit it has some truth. What if we didn't have these fairy tales and these dream lives that our parents filled our heads with when we were younger, would male and females have a better understanding of each other? Now this might be a far fetch idea but hey I'm just wondering. How could we dream of something, if we never were introduced to it?

Now I guess you can call me a realist more so than a dreamer because I don't believe in fairytale endings. I rather keep my heads out of the clouds and focus on realistic goals. But for real, is it really far fetch to dream of prince charming? Adults might say that we're too young to be thinking about love and everything, but how can you put an age on that? I'm not going to lie, I've been in love once and although it ended, I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world. It's a great feeling, but some take it for granted and some don't understand it. Our generation thinks of love as a fad or something that they think is suppose to happen to them. That's not the case at all. Love is a privilege and a gift from God; if you use it the wrong way, he will take it away from you.
