Losing It: The Ballad Of Steven Slater

There once was a man who did what he can
if you needed a hand, he'd lend it
but there came a day where he had a few expletives to say
this is a ballad about Steven Slater the Flight Attendant

See Steven was a guy who'd often try
to get the passengers seated
but there was a lady on board moving on her own accord
and her lack of action made poor Stevie quite heated

So being committed to his career of six or seven plus years
Steven tried to put her in her place
but this here lady drove little Steven crazy
when her bag knocked him square in the face

See Steven after taking a bit of beating realized
he's not so tough
so he went to the intercom said some words that would shame his mom
and basically said he had enough

and after his tirade on that plane, he said that he finally quit
but not before he opened the emergency door
and slid right out of it

What made Stevie snap, we'll never know
but one thing is certainly clear
Steven made sure that that before he'd go
he wasn't leaving without his beer.

And so that night, all seemed right
as his day was unlike any other
and a happy Steven Slater fell fast asleep
in the arms of his masculine lover.

And so ends the ballad of Steven Slater
the flight attendant who it seems had lost his mind
so tired of work, he cursed out the jerks
and most of us aren't far behind.
So I understand the anger of that man
who was trying to do his work
take this lesson and you'll find a blessing
that sometimes you just have to curse out those jerks.

And I Am Telling You... Breaking Up Is Hard To Do!

Dreamgirls was a successful Broadway play for years. It even made it's way to the big screen in 2006. Original headliners of the staged version included then little known Loretta Divine and now long forgotten Jennifer Holliday. Watching the performance of the then robust and popular Holliday allowed me to witness her successful portrayal of the scorned character Effie White. In a passionate performance she screamed, sobbed and belted the lyrics of "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in such a way that years later many have made a valiant effort to match her vocal bravado in singing the same song. Of those attempts, most have fallen far from the mark. With this knowledge, I wondered why was it that Jennifer Hollidays career didn't move much further beyond her Dreamgirls fame. Upon doing a bit of google research ( not the most reliable, but definitely the most convenient) I have found several theories as to why Jennifer Holiday's career came to a standstill...

Good Morning Heartache....

When I was about 14 my mother gave me a book called "Good Morning Holy Spirit". It was a Christian book that was aimed to keep believers in tune with God. It encouraged the reader to wake up each morning and greet God, allowing Him to play a role in your life each day. I still try to do that. Recently, I realized that another part of my life that I can certainly do without is heartache. Getting married and going through the motions of a divorce gives way to feelings that are far from pleasant. It's stressful, it's emotionally draining and it hurts like the dickens. With all of these aches and pains I still press on with my decision to end my marriage. My husband understands. For the first time last night, I poured my heart out to him, sobbed and expressed my pain. I told him that I loved him, but I could never be with him again. I admitted that I don't know how to be his wife. I admitted that I am petrified of being a single parent to two girls. I mourn...

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...
