I fell like that sentiment is so true. In life there are some things we can control and there are others we cant. Do all you can to control the ones you can, for the ones you cant, well that is why there is a higher power and were mere mortals.

Prioritizing is also very important. On the way to achieving your goals look out for selfishness. I know I am rambling but this record encourages all these thoughts.

All in all; "One monkey don't stop no show."

I am going to hit you with another slice of my dearest brit artist; Amy Winehouse.

The first thing I did as soon as I got on the terminal at Heathrow was look for the nearest HMV, luckily enough they had both Back to Black and Frank on sale. Even though I have Frank, through Itunes(the monster), I bought both, some lucky person may end up with my Frank CD.

As I sit here in this eclectic and relaxing lounge, sipping on a tall glass of Bacardi and Grape Fruit(yuck), I can barley wait to dive into the craziness (in a good way) that is about to be Christmas with my family.

Anyway, wherever you are, I am sure you could use another slice of Amy... this is kinda melancholic though. Anyhow I know one of you have or feels this way, I present to you; Love is a losing game.

Irrespective of subject matter I have a great deal of respect for this lady's writing ability.


Posting may lag for a few day, or maybe a couple of weeks as I will be traveling, if you care, you would check back. I plan to hit yall with some original ish from my travels.


Peace!

I just moved to B'more so I figure this classic tune by the great Nina Simone is perfectly symbolic. This song is from an album of the same name called Baltimore released in 1978. Its crazy how these lyrics still apply even today. As an aside when ever you get a chance please watch the Wire on HBO; this show is set in Baltimore and isn't to far from the truth.

I am highlighting a song of the new Jay Z album, called Beach Chair. Chris Martin from Coldplay produced this record; he also features on the hook. This record is so spacey it’s unbelievable. I love how the drums kick in about 11 seconds into the song. This record is what you want to listen to on the tube or subway or maybe on a runway about to take off.
In other words, it is effectively reminiscent.
