The BET Awards

What can I say I'm still high from some of the performances. This show was filled with so many surprises. How awesome for New Edition to open up with the tribute to the Jacksons all six of them!! Then the other highlight of the night was BBD, Guy and Keith Sweat. I am going to have to look at that whole section again I was screaming so loud. And oh my lawd where did they find Tevin Campbell.

The tribute to the O'Jay's was so classy. Tyrese, Trey Songz and Johnny Gill were flawless. I really liked their performance. I also like Ne-yo performing "Lady in my Life" I tell you I almost lost it. I also liked when Tyrese and Taraji did the scene from Baby Boy but didn't Ving Rhames scare the crap out of you. I know he did me. I also enjoyed Maxwell.

Overall I liked all the performances but a few left a question mark in my head. No disrespect to Beyonce but did she forget she was performing at the BET Awards. I mean her vocals were on point I just didn't know where she was going with the whole "Ava Maria" thing, maybe someone can help me out because I am lost and her outfit sort of strange. I think Ciara should've sang a different song, again no disrespect I just wasn't liking that song for her. I enjoyed Drake but when everybody and their mama started coming out on stage it took something away from the performance. I know he hurt his ACL and maybe thought he needed help but that was too much!!

Let me know what you think.

"If everything happens for a reason why do babies die and kids get hurt?"

I know I said we will have fun on this blog but this question was asked on twitter and it got me to thinking. To answer this question I will say a few things. Not to sound heartless because it does break my heart when I hear about a child getting hurt or abused in any kind of way but we have to come to the realization that this world is full of sin and sin plays a big part. Also God allows things to happen to sometimes get our attention to let us know He still is God or maybe to get us to realize we need Him more than we think.

I could of asked God why did he allow my mom to die from cancer but I didn't only because I believed he would take care of us in it. Don't get me wrong it took me a minute to get here and I still miss her like crazy but I believe her purpose was served. I could of asked God why did he allow my dad to die when I was a teenager and never get to see his grandkids but I didn't. I could of asked this question when a woman dear to me got shot down and killed in front of her house for protecting her family when she wasn't even the target but I didn't. Again not that I wasn't hurt by these things it's just I know God has a plan. I may not see it at the time and I may never see it but I have to believe something good will come from this all.

No one likes to go through hurt or see someone they care about get hurt or die. I'm sure if we were God we would let no child get hurt or killed or anyone we love for that matter. But our ways are not His ways and our thoughts are not His thoughts. His methods may seem cruel but we have to trust and believe that He has our best interest at heart.

Just my opinion.

Much love....

Who I'm feeling at thee moment!!

Who could not love this smile. I've always liked Trey Songz's music but now I am really feeling him has an artist. He has so much passion and drive you can't help but to love him. The boy can sang, too. His mixtape game is out of this world and he really loves his fans. Cant wait for his album to drop August 4th...YUUUP!!!

Much, much love to Brutha these are also some brutha's that can sang their butts off. You need to check out their accapella vids on youtube. My fav is the one they did by New Birth "Wildflower". Seriously brought tears to my eyes. Their album is in stores and the second album is to drop later on this year. I really heart these guys!!!

Drake is awesome. I love is style and how he incorporates his rap skills with his singing skills. If you haven't heard is music check him out on myspace and youtube I guarantee you wont be disappointed. And yes peeps this is Jimmy from Degrassi!!

I am so excited about Maxwell's return. I almost died when I saw him walk out at the BET Awards. I was screaming my little heart out. As you can tell I like me some Maxwell. I previewed some of his album and you can hear the maturity in the lyrics. It has a mellow feel to it something you can sit back and listen to on those day you just want to rest and reflect. I'm so deep...LOL. Album drops July 7th. I think they tryna bring light-skinned back yall.....hahaha!!!

My sisters say I talk to Jamie Foxx

My sisters who will remain nameless(LOL)have an on going joke about me talking to Jamie Foxx. Let me clear the air. It was a slip of the tongue, instead of saying "Jamie Foxx said he...," I ACCIDENTALLY said, "Jamie Foxx told me...," and every since then they have been telling everybody they can I talk to Jamie Foxx. So if you know us and happen to hear this story now YOU KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!!!

I will admit I was sort of into him during the Unpredictable and Miami Vice days and I may have joined his fansite and googled him a few times but it was just because I wanted to know more about him. It wasn't like I was hiding in trees with binoculars watching him eat breakfast in the nude or anything. It's just when I like an artist I like to know as much as I can about them is that wrong?

Manie :-D

MY FIRST FOLLOWER!!!!!!!

Shout out to my girl Fre, my first follower love you lots......muah!!!!

"Firsts"

I was talking to a friend a couple of weeks ago and realized that the past couple of years have been alot of "firsts" for me. My mom passed in Jan of 2007 and I didn't think I would make it but with God, prayer, my family and friends I did. After losing her I thought alot about my life and what I was going to do with it.



We have all heard the sayings, life is short, tomorrow's not promised, you only have one life to live, so I made up in my mind to enjoy this life I have, not sweat the small stuff, laugh as much as I can and not let fear or negativity keep me from it.



I went on my first cruise (even though I can't swim) to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and boy did I have fun, I mean fun!!!!! I went camping for the first time, I know a sista in the woods hella funny, but it was awesome I went on a speed boat and a jet ski. Now all I gotta do is conquer my fear and get my tail on a plane...LOL!!

Shout out to all the Fathers

Happy Father's day to all the Fathers talking care of their responsibilities much love to you all!!!
