What I'm reading

Haven't read in a while but the last book I did read was "The Last Bad Decision" by Paula Edwards. This book almost had me in tears. Without giving too much away, it's about a guy named Chauncey and his struggles living in Los Angeles. He makes a lot of bad decisions but he's tired of his lifestyle and ready for a change but his boy Rondell is not too happy with his sudden change in attitude.

I truly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed.

Shout out to the Paula Edwards who gave me some helpful advice in how to get my book out there she is very geniune and I wish her nothing but success in all she does.

Music that moves me

Have you ever heard a song and was like "that's my song" then throw your hands up and start singing or dancing or both. I know I have numerous times. But then there are some songs that touch me a deeper than a dance for what ever reason. Could be a memory of a previous love or just a previous time in my life but whatever the reason whenever I hear certain songs I have to stop, listen, close my eyes and just let the music take there. I feel like I'm telling on myself too much but anyhoo here's a few for now.......








Not a coincidence these are all songs from movies either if I didn't mention it before I am a movie head for real!!!!!!!

OK guys I thought I was up on everything.....

but I guess not because I just found out that Tony Thompson from HI-Five died of an overdose in 2007 from huffing freon. I am so sad by this news. My eyes are literally watering as I'm typing this. I loved this group so much and I especially loved Tony's voice. Again this may be old to some but it's new to me and it hurts.


I will never understand what goes on in the mind of entertainers with such talent that feel they need that extra "something" to get them through. I'm in no way judging him or putting him down it's just a real sad situation of another talent gone to soon at the hands of drugs. He was 31.

Just a few of my favorite Hi-Five Songs:

What is this world coming to????

I was looking at 106 and Park and Rocsi's story really broke my heart but after the show was over I was sort of pissed. What is wrong with society today? How did we get so hung up on looks? We really have things twisted. I mean what happened to someone being signed to a label because they could sing and not what they look like first, then their talent. I think about The Temptations, The Dramatics, The Stylistics and The Delfonics just to name a few, these guys could really sing and some of them weren't what some people would think of as handsome but they had talent.



Now people are trying to conform to an image that is literally killing them. I think about these people getting all this plastic surgery. For what?? To keep a job?? To look younger?? Don't get me wrong I joke around about it but I'm too chicken to purposely cause pain to myself when I don't have to. I will tell anyone going through this....LOVE YOURSELF....LOVE WHO YOU ARE.....LOVE WHAT GOD HAS MADE YOU TO BE!! I know this sounds easier said than done but if you practice speaking positivity in your life believe me you will feel better about yourself. I'm speaking from experience. I suffered with self esteem issues as a teen like most but after finding out what God said I am, I love me, I love my faults, I love the little awkward things about me because these things make me an original there is no one like me and I like that. :-)



So please remember it's not what you look like on the outside the real you is on the inside so let people see the real you and I guarantee they will love you and you will love yourself.
