Music Review

After attending the VMA'S I can't get enough beyonce.I have always liked her but I thought she was over rated and received way to much attention. Her first album Dangerously in love had some good songs but as an album it was not all that. Her latest Album B-day is somewhat the same thing, some strong songs and the rest is just OK. The difference on this album is that a lot of the songs have more emotion and more of her story, what she might be going through. It just feels like she put more of her recent experiences into her album. There are some great tracks like the famous Ring the alarm (that song is everything) Get Me Bodied is sure to get anyone on their feet, & Irreplaceable will have you singing along all day. As an artist I think Beyonce is truly shinning and we all can't wait to see Dream Girls this Christmas. Her album is cute and if you're 17 then it might be the album of the year for you. B-Day receives a B -

Ahem...I don't think one has to be 17 to appreciate B'Day. That's like a read on anyone over 17 who really likes the album. At 30 years old, I think the album is really great. I think it's to early to say whether it's the album of the year for me, but it's a pretty hot album. I actually like more tracks on this album than Dangerously in Love. "Green Light", "Suga Mama", and "Irreplaceable" are all really great songs. Although "Deja Vu" is clearly "Crazy in Love" revisited, the album is pretty fresh. Although Ring the Alarm is one of my least favorite songs, I really dig the video because we don't get to see R&B videos that look like that. It was a departure.

With singer-songwriters (A.Keys, Mariah, Jill Scott) you run the risk of buying an album full of songs that sound the same. I was presently suprised that this was not the case.

Nice to see you're blogging. I will definitely comeback for a visit.

Dominican Republic Trip 2006 & California

Dominican Republic 2006 My Birthday happens to fall on the very same day that Independence Day is celebrated in DR. February 27th is a very important, historical day, a day of carnival and the beginning of celebration filled with Dominican pride. Almost every dominican New York native has told me "your dominican and you have never traveled to your own country" and when I tell them the date of my birthday they say I have no idea what I am missing. Boy were they right! Its a place in this world that really felt like home, that felt like I belonged and it made sense. I was so enchanted by the beauty, the people, the food, the music, the culture, and their way of life. Though it was all new to me it did not feel distant in anyway. I spent my birthday home for the first time in my life and I had the time of my life. I ate dinner on a bed over the ocean with the most beautiful view and with two of my friends. I partied till I could not walk. The people were so wel

A Beauty to watch out for Amber Milan who with time just keeps getting better. Latex Ball Review Yesterday night was the 15th annual house of latex ball. With that said it is the longest running annual ball in ballroom history following that would be The Annual Jack and Andre Awards ball which celebrated their 14th year last May. A congratulations is in order based on longevity alone. With all those years of experience and history the biggest ball around and the most popular ball (next to the now famous POCC ball) for me disappointingly fell short of the fire and ballroom magic that once filled the Rose-land ballroom i

10 Difficult Realities You’ll Continually Face Until You Learn How To Accept Them

-

1. You are not excluded from the human condition. You feel hopeless? You feel like you’re on the brink of tears every other hour? You hate who you were and you are afraid of who you won’t become? You’re experiencing a very real, very difficult part of what it means to be human. But thinking such suffering is abnormal and unavoidable is what will be most painful– resisting it, running from it. You can’t seamlessly execute your life with grace and charisma at all times, if ever really, and it’s in comparing whatever you are to that infallible ideal that you’ll hurt yourself the most. 2. The best people, the most beautiful people, the people who are best able to love completely, are the ones who have been wounded and scarred and have experienced the most. There is a certain understanding they bring to you, a certain fondness in identifying with what you’re experiencing and an appreciation for all the ways you’re unsure and unsettled with yourself. They have the kind of capacity to
