I Agree With R. Kelly

Some of you may know that I quit my job to go back to school and pursue my dream goals of writing and launching my natural hair styling business. I have been greeted with a varied response toward my decision, however I just refuse to allow any of them to deter me from pressing on and pushing forward, regardless of how grueling it may become.
I wanted to share with you the site that I am still working on but have no choice but to post if I want to start generating some business:
Kinks Natural Hair Styling (there it is, my shameless PR attempt).
While it (much like myself) is a work in progress, I am very proud of my efforts. So please do pass the word along if you know of any one who is interested in getting a snazzy do at an affordable price.
Now, in reference to R. Kelly...his debut single after going solo was a song called Bump and Grind. He starts off belting loudly that he doesn't see anything wrong with a little bump and grind. Although he was singing about nookie, he wailed his case during the intro of the song as if he were pleading with this woman (or women or adolescent knowing R. Kelly's track record). Later her remixed version he crooned in a gentle whisper repetitiously "You know I don't see nothing wrong, with a little bump and grind baby". This song came out when I was about twelve years old and I had a good handle of what "Bump and Grind" was but I never really related to the song (for good reason... come on guys, I was TWELVE). Now as an adult, I'm not sure if I'm an advocate for the context in which he meant the expression but I can say that I stay up until about 2AM each morning working on my website and marketing. I believe that allows me to say that I am doing my fair share of grinding. As for the bumps? There will be bumps in the road... but the grinding shall continue.

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...
