Rhythm To Flow/TGIF

Happy BLACK Friday Everyone...

Trusting that everyone had a great THANKSGIVING!!! So much feasting takes place, and then the day is gone. Life always has a rhythm, though it may not always be the beat and flow that you would prefer. It still has a certain flow to it, and like it or not we adapt. The way a certain song can tell you life story, without ever knowing you. Funny how that works huh. We live to make it through the hurdles, and we're more inclined to do what's popular, like for instance today....MILLIONS of you are participating in BLACK Friday.....when in actuality if we were patient and waited until January, that's where all the 'best' sales are...but we're conditioned to the rhythm and that beat doesn't stop.

What I really dig is how sexy the word BLACK has become so I roll with it, and it has a certain strength to it. As time keeps moving on, the holidays come and go, family, friends, community and religion are all things that should never be taken lightly. We're here to learn and also to set examples for others to follow. Be the solution and not the problem. You're only able to stand tall if you honor those who came before you. Standing on the shoulders of the lessons learned in life, we only honor our predecessors if we continue the tradition, when you stand tall and stay present, you are honoring legacy.

Sometimes we forget what it all means, and when you get right down to the rhythm of it all, it's the simple things, its not rocket science. Treat others how you would like to be be treated, have patience, which is a lesson that I'm STILL trying to perfect. Seeing yourself in others, helps you to understand their struggles and plight. With every lesson learned, what was the circumstance and in conflict resolution, which part will you play, when you have a certain "Rhythm" in your life, you accept your faults and correct or accept them, your strengths become stronger and in the process you bring humility to your movement.

What are you doing with your life?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone...

Today is a day to reflect back on life love and community. Time to rejoice in the 'now'. For it's all we have. As we celebrate today and all the feasting. Put God and family first. Family is made up of so many different components, all equally having their roles. To give thanks is a MUST...and OH yes we do give thanks.
To those of you who follow me on my blog, I Thank You and Salute You!!! Enjoy Your Day!!

Command Performance

This command performance of the O'Jay's classic "Family Reunion" is different from the live presentation that I normally do. I think this song is very appropriate because it's Thanksgiving Day!! I think when you listen to this classic song, though it's NOT live, I feel it drives the point home, it speaks to the sense of family and true commitment of love and understanding in a very unconditional way. Growing up this song was always a part of any family gathering. Enjoy!!

I'm Just Saying..

The queen of talk Momma O' will be at the White House next week to tape an interview with President Obama, to air close to Christmas. Her crews will be at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for a couple of days to shoot exteriors, etc.

When the new television season began, and I got the news about the new D-List of celebrities chosen for DWTS, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they would allow singer Mya who IS a professional dancer to compete. Last night when she lost, it all made sense. Her professional background was held against her, and it was a ultimate slap in her face. Poor Mya let this be a lesson today, you don't need any votes to prove that you're a great dancer, however I do think the race card prevailed. There's NO way in hell Donny Osmond should be the winner...TOO MUCH!!!

Both 'Branded' womanizer's in Hollyweird hunks John Mayer and Gerard Butler share a lot in common, sometimes even the same woman, both have been linked to Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston. My thing is this, all the hot girls in Hollyweird know of these boys reputations, but they still want to taste the dip stick. Side note: wasn't Mayer kick ass on "Human Nature" at the King of Pop's memorial..OUTSTANDING!!

Paula Abdul looked HOT at Sunday's AMAs, showing off her thinner than normal body in a black form fitting dress. She and LeToya Jackson are two kind of crazy....but I love it all. Sunday night Adbul seemed less drugged out!! Could it be that old Aresenio Hall is hitting it right?

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has found love with Ben Maisani, owner of gay bar The Eastern Bloc in New York City. They have been seeing each other for around 8 months and now they're house hunting in New York together! When did Cooper come out of the closet?

Cooper's sister in crime Tyler Perry made a generous donation to the NAACP for 1 million dollars to be given over a four year period. It was a great gesture, but I'm sure Madea could have pulled the entire million dollars out of her bra and give it to the NAACP in one lump sum.

For the two people who are interested singer Keyshia Cole was spotted in Cleveland with her boyfriend Cleveland Cavalier Daniel “Boobie” Gibson for a charity event.

Johnny Gill, Ne-Yo and Fonzworth Bentley.....discuss, and whatever you come up with in your thoughts.....YOU'RE on the money!! Where was Eddie, they could be a revamped version of En Vogue!!

California Governor.... Arnold Schwarzenegger and wifey Maria Shriver continue to break parking laws. She gets away with talking while driving, he gets to park in the red zone, and it's ALLOWED. Shriver broke two more road rules yesterday and got off scot-free. Where's the JUSTICE, just like her husband winning the Governor's ticket for California...I still can't believe it, and he STILL can't pronounce CALI FOR NIA!!

If you molest a 13 year old, and run from the law for a hundred years, NO bail should come to you. A Swiss court has authorized the release of director Roman Polanski on bail of $4.5 million, but the Hollywood director will be required to remain under house arrest and electronic monitoring at his Swiss chalet. But despite the court’s approval, the Swiss Justice Ministry says it will keep Polanski in jail until it decides whether to appeal his release to the country's supreme court. The rules are always different for them right?

Remember to every rumor, there's a certain bit of truth to it.

Hey Oprah, Dave Letterman, Wendy Williams and Ellen..

I'm Just Saying..

All I know is that Mya better win tonight on Dancing With The Stars, Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond come on really? and if she doesn't, ABC and race relations have sunk to a new low. Regardless of the outcome the evening highlight was Whitney Houston's performances. She sang "Million Dollar Bill" and "I Want To Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me". Another thing you learn about HOLLYWEIRD is that nothing is EVER truly live. Whitney performed last night....lucky me right. Both of her performances were stellar.

Yesterday I watched the Wendy Williams show and was a little heated and disapppointed. The big part of her show is called "Hot Topic" where she reports the current media news. She was in radio for twenty years, so I was a little taken aback, that she failed to watch the American Music Awards show. Needless to say she had nothing to really say, because she was soo busy in her life, doing her. Well Wendy newsflash NO ONE CARES about your grocery store shopping sprees. We come to you to hear your take on Hollywood, and yesterday you left me hanging. Kinda makes me think that you're a hater when it not's all about YOU!! Wendy I'll say it again to you...GET IT TOGETHER, you're starting to bore me, and I don't want to flip the channel, because I like your messy!


Singer Sade new CD "Soldier of Love" will come out on February 8, 2010. Don't you just love her version of the blues, jazz and heartbreak....where's my DAMN drink, somebody broke my heart AGAIN!!! Seriously welcome back Sade, we've missed you!!

The ABC brass have their got their panties in a bunch. They cancelled Adam Lambert's planned performance on Good Morning America tomorrow. The little gay boy is just being who he is...didn't America like all his drama on American Idol? At the end of the day who cares. He won't be here two weeks from now, so lets just keep it moving. ABC yes he kissed a boy, you AIRED it, now deal with it!!

Ex first lady Barbara Bush's twin Susan Boyle is about to wreck shop on the music charts. Her debut CD is out performing Lady GAG, Adam Lambert and Rihanna. She's on par to sell over 500.000.00 copies in her first week. Which makes her one of the biggest selling artist of 2009. Guess geritol and pampers never go out of style....I'm Just Saying!!

After hearing the news about Susan Boyles numbers Def Jam is extremely worried that Rihanna's new album, Rated R is not performing very well. They reduce the price on Amazon to 3.99 cents, and are considering selling her CD for ONLY .99 on Black Friday Day. RiRi, karma is a BITCH. You might want to hold ANOTHER press conference and tell the truth on what you really did to Breezy!!

Superstar Janet Jackson appears to have shaken her bluess of letting that little frog boy Jermaine Dupri go, recently Ms. Jackson was seen having dinner with actor Colin Farrell. Farrell is known for liking the sista's you remember his porn debut...he was waxing ole girl like his life depended on it. Janet show him what you're working with.
