Happy Friday everyone, ... Let's Talk about it!!
Certainties are not always a given in life, yet we go on with the unspoken understanding that things will get better than they presently are. Challenge is the bedfellow that takes on more of a comforting position than an offense. Today's world is more progressively complicated than ever before. The elders constantly preach that we're living in the last days, however I think that reality is probably closer true for them, than us, if life plays out the part that it's suppose to for each of us, the tenure is inevitable. You must be emphatic on the direction intended, purposely driven without confliction, as you are centered, you are righteous and in this particular equation, the moment is meant just for you, it's a preparation that you've prepared your entire life for. To be leveled and mentality stable is the surreal moment that we all so desperately thirst to obtain.

Wondering why dreams are deferred, curiosities about when will it be your time to shine, in honesty we realize that fairy tales are child's play in our rose colored visions of happy endings, and I feel that "Happy Endings" are realistic, just not as permanent as we dreamed them to be, but they help in the balancing act of our stay on this Universe. It's a tightrope, and in your equation to juggle it all, when you're precision gets skewered, you will fall off. Obvious choice is to question as to why? but the rightful choice is to stay on the ground in that moment, and replay your landing, work from that thought forward, if you don't have any query's in the wondering why, it's only a continuous cycle bound to repeat. As you approach each new day, be at one with self, speak of your lineage, give honor to your mother, father, maternal and paternal grandparents, speak their names, know where you come from, and what was their intended purpose for you, those things you're now afforded because of their structure and blueprint. In that acknowledgement is when you start to fully understand, the luxurious life that you're living, with it's convoluted angst and struggles, it's still such a tremendous blessing. Remembering those who laid down for us, and the important one who rose for us in the most lovingly way especially, honoring this weekend.

Happy Friday everyone, ... Let's Talk about It!

We scratch at the surface of something greater than ourselves, constantly running into the obvious, SELF! The feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction you will continue to arrive at doubt. Why are comfortable in the shells that we present, it's layers of baggage, just like clothes cover up our imperfections, it's time to get raw, naked and bare in your approach to life. Your wake up call was about five days ago, yet you're still sitting in the same spot contemplating, and waiting, but waiting for what? We pray for blessings, gifts and discernment, when they are granted, what are you going to chance as a sacrifice? Pure ability is constant trying and at times failing, but it's temporary, the hunger, is golden, and can not be defied. Life isn't for barter, its priceless, the reward is to witness the moment when triumph trumps doubt.

Gracing each new day as its your first time experiencing life here on earth, "what's the plan", where to today? If you're fragmented, it's time to get reattached, by taking a walk out on faith, this time try to do it the unconventional way, you've tried popular opinion, but that didn't work for you. How can you be effective for your village? what food are you bringing home to today, in a cold world its feast or famine. You ARE the best investment, the reward is you. The things that lie underneath, is the treasure, you must unlock, do away with fear, you must take risk and know that no weapons formed against you shall prosper. This journey is constant work, sleep is to replenish, comfort is a luxury taken for granted your focus must be CRYSTAL clear, the answer lies beneath.

Timberlake's 20/20 project is a WINNER!!!

Singer Justin Timberlake can now rest easy, his return to music with his new 20/20 Experience project is a bonafide hit, his first week sales will  top his last CD 'Future Sex/Love Sounds'  which sold over 684,000 copies in it's first week, 20/20 looks to be on par to sell over 800.000 copies when it debuts next week, which easily will see him sitting on top of the Billboard Hot 200 chart.  Congrats JT, you are my boy, you're showcasing truth in music without the gimmicks.

Aunt Viv Speaking out again ....

“I’m a lady and a REAL one!” Janet Hubert from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air says following Wendy Williams running her mouth AGAIN earlier this week with Tatyana Ali. (this article was pulled from ronaldmatterstv)


“You are a virus! You are not and never have you ever been a true woman. It seems as if your audience thirst for the blood of others as they are prompted to clap and hoot and holler at your garish shoes and clothing … I just would like to know who told you that you died and were reborn as Oprah. You wanna be Oprah so bad!”

“Learn to sit in a chair and stop fidgeting with yourself on camera. Wipe your giant teeth off camera and don’t smear the spit on the chair. PLEASE put some sweat pits under your arms. And darling If your sweater is pulling honey until there’s lines across your chest… it’s too tight! You might want to deflate those tremendous breasts!”

“I sat there and watched you like some sort of devilish sink hole swallow up Tatyani Ali. You reduced her to a child sitting there attempting to keep some symbolance of dignitity about her as you pried and invaded her life until you got what you wanted.”



Yep. You can tell Wendy was pulling teeth like shit to get that quote from Tatyana. Wendy and Janet have been at war since Janet publicly blamed the daytime diva for ‘crucifying’ Whitney Houston while she was alive; but, somehow wanted to mourn Whitney following her passing.

Sweet Silky Soul singing Brian McKnight, his voice is that smooth, he's super talented.  Such a great song writer and producer.  I promoted his first two projects, when he recorded for Mercury records, he was always a pleasure to work with.  I ran across this performance of him singing his debut hit record "The Way Love Goes" it was recorded on the fourth of july 2012.  His vocals sound just as clear and crisp as on the original recording.  His instrument has always been very unique with such great range, tone and delivery. This is a great medley from McKnight. Enjoy~

Nicole Murphy is such a beautiful woman, she does it for me everytime.  She is Eddie Murphy's ex-wife and she is engaged to 'Live with Kelly and Michael''s Michael Strahan, who is currently holding out on marrying her, because she wont sign a pre-nup.  Hey Nicole, if you're still single, holla at your boy, you dn't have to sign anything to be with me:)

Michael Jordan's paternity suit dismissed, hmmm well did he settle?  He was certain that the child was not his, if this is truly the case, he should flip the script and sue the mother for deformation of character.

Rapper Lil Wayne was released from Cedars Sinai Hospital yesterday, after a six day stint  in the ICU department for another Drug Overdose.  Wayne has had several seizures in the past two months, and has admitted to a codeine addiction.

Trouble maker Lindsey Lohan got off AGAIN with no jail time for drinking and driving.  Lohan troubles continue, and by the courts constantly slapping her wrists, one can't but wonder, why message is our court systems sending?  Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in house Drug facility, trust me she will get hire in rehab. This story isn't new, and unfortunately the writing is kinda on the wall as to how it will end.  Michael and Dina Lohan should be ashamed of themselves.

Beyonce' Knowles released the first single from her "Mrs. Carter" cd called 'Bow Down (I Been On)'.  The song is very elementary, and truly not worthy of what Knowles is capable of.  Singer Keysia Cole took to twitter to express her dismay with the song, which has most people agreeing with her opinion of the song.  Knowles, you're going to have to come harder, if anyone should 'Bow Down' it should be you to Rihanna because that chick is winning the game over you.

Two comedians DL Hugley and Andy Dick are battling it out on the whack Dancing With The Stars .... and honestly the joke is on DL Hugley, he's the white man walking .... NO rhythm whatsoever, and Andy Dick I think is going to surprise a lot of people, he's the dark horse.

Tiger Woods took to facebook to make a few announcenments .. This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating.
He doesn't seem to be the smartest tool in the toolbox, I'm like Tiger another blonde, really?  White America HATES you, and your golfing career, has truly suffered the most, are you going to end up like O.J. Simpson?

Hey everyone, I'm back, out of Hospital and feeling somewhat better, so let's talk Hollywood!

Reposition/TGIF

Happy Friday everyone, ... Let's Talk about It!!!

There's nothing worse than to be left alone, set aside and disregarded. One thing is certain, you will quickly learn that you can't mold people into your definition of ideal. Love doesn't always love back, in fact it sometimes attacks, stemmed deeply from inadequacies of the abuser, and how your view love doesn't necessarily make it KINDRED. If you have conversations with God, all that you desire, really can be yours, just not as easy as you would like, through every growth spurt, a test will appear, for you to show just how much you truly believe, some days will be hell on earth. God didn't give you heartbreak, nor all the false comforts, that's the world you created, with those neighbors across the street, The Jones, yes those neighbors.

That occasional tap on your shoulder is your Angel, your sixth sense, do not ignore warning signs, if you do it only proves you as foolish. I was foolish, I've been a hypocrite, but honesty in truth and ownership will continue to free me. Our Heavenly Father forgives, even when it's not deserved, you keep hitting your head against a wall long enough, the breakthrough, was just another double entendre in your long list of excuses for WHY! If you're unfocused and out touch, the costliest point here shows that you possess very little self worth, It's not about others seeing your value, you have to deem yourself valuable, and believe that you have a rightful place to shine! Its time to reposition yourself! You will never see an Oak tree growing with herbs, or an eagle flying with pigeons. Its time to check yourself and go where you belong. This moment is yours, right here and right now

Spring/TGIF

Happy Friday everyone, ... Lets Talk about It!

Your actions cause a reaction.  Think first then proceed, how are you effecting your encounters "are you well intended" what is your cause and how does it effect others?  This conversation topic may seem repetitive, but if you're not applying it to your life, and if you continue to spiral in the same place, you're not growing, you're not recieving the message, or you're not ready to change, nor address lingering issues. The truth is not always pretty, and is the hardest pill to swallow, but it's honest and will free you, you can release and CLEANSE, instead of purging, and being miserable and negative, no one wants to be around that type of energy.

Tenacity you will not achieve it with speed, so take your time. Ask for PEACE and take rest in Him. Dont be afraid to go out on a limb, because that is where the best fruits are. Stand erect upright in your conviction, in your thoughts, in your pursuits, again, this walk isn't for everyone, and it's not about placing blame, it's about knowing, which battles are worthy of your direct attention. In your darkest hour is when you're closest to your victory, when you doubt, when you're challenged and when you're scared, it's those last temptations that try to detour you, but you're almost there, know that you are spring blooming in optimism, rest in it eternally. Seek dilligence, give understanding, your way, may not always be the best way, but whatever uphill battles that you may endure, it's worthy of your testament and testimony, you're writing your epitaph. Again it's your actions, that causes ... what will you leave as a lasting impression?

I love seeing up and coming talented artists who are very new but yet already seasoned.  This year I decided to give American Idol a chance and a try, actually I tuned in to see what Nicki Minaj was up to, and was pleasantly surprised, she's actually a very good judge, and very welcomed without the usage fluff, but back to my original thought.  Idol has some impressive talent this year, and I was really taken with Candice Glover doing her rendition of John Legend's song "Ordinary People", she has my vote.  Let me know what you think.  Enjoy~

Hugo Chavez Dead at age 58

Caracas, Venezuela(ap) -- President Hugo Chavez , the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution in Venezuela, crusaded against U.S. influence and championed a leftist revival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two year bout with cancer.  Chavez saw himself as a revolutionary and savior of the poor.

Happy Birthday Teena Marie - I remember U

Growing up music saved my life everyday of my life.  In my lifetime, four people (singers) truly effected me more than any of the other great ones, somehow Ella Fitzgerald, Gladys Knight, Teena Marie and Whitney Houston did something special like non of the others.  Today I would like to acknowledge that from 15-19 my world only moved for Teena Marie.  My first journalism piece ever was an interview that I did with Teena Marie for the Daily Review newspaper when I was almost 17 years old.  She was very gracious, sincere with such a loving pure heart.  I still have the cassette, yes CASSETTE of the recording, and even though it's a little embarrassing to hear all the cheerleader inflections in my voice at the time, because I was sooooooooooooooo stoked that I was interviewing Teena Marie.  It was my good fortune that I was able to see her in concert on numerous occasions and thorougly enjoyed them all.  Later in my life, I got to know her personally, and was invited into her home.  She was that rare artist, true to her artistic belief.  Her soul was really 'soul' music and she stayed true to that, she didn't sell out, she remained an R&B singer, songwriter, producer her entire career, that speaks so deeply of her character, she could have easily taken another path, like being another Janis Joplin or a rocker or pop singer, which from a monetary value would have given her greater dividends, but that was not in her heart. 
Today I would like to say thanks again Teena, you know how much I loved you and your music, you were one of the artist who helped saved my life, because you were always there for me when I needed you.  Happy Birthday. Though you're no longer here in the physical, your music and legacy live on, because we remember and we'll never forget you. RIP - KK

Collateral/TGIF

Happy Friday, ... Let's Talk about It!!

Are you an asset or a casualty? What do you bring to the table in your life, for yourself, your family and friends. This question seems easy, take a minute to absorb it by being still, its never as easy as it seems to answer. Truthfully, what is your bargaining position, tell me about your collateral, in your belief of self, is their a risk and are you worthy of the investment? Quality for quality is what I like to see in my exchanges, that way a certain skill set mentality keeps the analytical muscles finely tuned and focused. A Visionary gets to the finish line because a plan was put into effect, it was never about who gets there first, it always starts with dedication and an outline to guide and direct.

BE willing to go it alone! Many who started with you won't finish with you, you may never be what you once were, but Its always good to remember when you were. No regrets for all is meant on some level, propel forward to get to the greater understanding beyond all understanding. We are not stumbling blocks nor a hindrance, let your aura be the gift to someone, that you would like to receive. Set the tone in your life as to what you will or will not accept. Fear and doubt can creep in as easy as the threading of a needle, the devil is constantly busy. Do not apologize for being who you are, let your mind explore and find yourself a beautiful place and get lost.
