Poem: Cigarette Smoke

Coming home smelling like cigarette smoke,
Its so intoxicating the sent makes me choke.
The thoughts are so purifying and I’m so innocent
Stripping off my clothes I’m glad I’ve reached the end of it.

A shower is necessary
Been every place but the commissary
You’ve rendered my body dry
Tryna put you outta my mind, i wont even try

You’ve rounded the ash tray
But I don’t remember ever saying play
The bud of your cigarette burns my body deep
Ever since you lit her up she started her creep

I’ve watched you all night
Watched your eyes run from the light
Wont escape this nicotine
Can only accept this kind of thing

Lighting up your cigarette can only have one result
Your reading my mind and I cant even say its your fault
Smoking in this room and you know i cant breathe
You have me to your advantage and you wont take heed

Yes I’m coughing and choking I’m trying to get away
Your laughing not crying and you tryna keep me at bay
This cant be fair cause you know i like you
I’ve tried to deny you but you know that i do
Cant keep from around you and your second hand smoke
I have to build up a tolerance or I’m grabbing my coat
Don’t have very many options here
So I have to be ready to make my intentions clear
I’m grabbing the cigarette and where is the lighter, I’m smoking this cigarette and not having no fear.

Song: Head First

Here is a song I wrote. It took me about 15 minutes to write. I guess I find some of my best work is done in a short amount of time. But this song, "Head First" is something that is simple, yet powerful. The message is clear and has already began to help me come to terms with a situation in my life. But I hope u can enjoy it. PS, the picture of the driving car was ssoooo what I was picturing while I was writing...but the car would be black..and at night too. lol

"Head First"

Seat belts on.
Ive already checked my rear view.
Keys in the ignition and its time to go.

Only lookin at the life I use to have.
No need to check my break lights.
I wont be slowing down, no not even for you.

And ive got the car all feuled up
Had the mechanic check under my hood.
Nothing is holding me back.
Ill be leaving my tread on the road.
Putting the car in drive now.
Im driving head first.

Head first,
Im driving head first.
Ive go to go

Ive go to go
Im driving head first.
Head first

Approching this bridge.
Aint taking no detours.
Ive already checked GPS.

Cant see beyond the past,
But theres only one direction I wana go.
I wont be looking for the rear view, no not even for you.

And ive got my mind all made up.
Wont be changing my mind even if I could.
Nothing is holding me back.
Ill check the gasket but they already blowed.
The cars in drive and I dont care how.
Im driving head first.

Head first,
Im driving head first.
Ive go to go.

Ive go to go.
Im driving head first.
Head first,

The only excuse ill have to park,
Is if i run in to a dead end.
Ill be sure to make it a place you cant pretend.

Ive had enough of running blind.
Getting tired of you on my mind.
Im shifting my car into drive,
Ill be damned if your my passenger.

Ive go to go.
Im driving head first.
Head first,

Head first,
Im driving head first.
Ive go to go.

LOL's

I know this is wrong but I could not help myself. I saw this pic and died laughing. I guess somebody photo shopped some heels on him.



But I am cool with Breezy. I think his latest video and song for "Transform Ya" are hot!! Here Is What The Original Should Look Like...And I think I wana find him so I can convince him to give me those boots. They are fiyah!!!

I love your rosary!!

If you dont know, then you must find out...I am not a fan of trends. Ever since I could remember, I have always been the person to not obey trends. They annoy me and I think they are extremely unoriginal. Not to say that I dont like what trends create, I jus hate to follow them and to see others submitting to them.

Because I love to research religion and different beliefs around the world, I grow really upset when I see someone wearing an item that represent a religion as a fashion piece. If you hadnt figured it out by now, Im speaking on behalf of those who wear rosaries and are not actually catholic. It has become the increasingly popular new fad.

To be honest, I find it kind of disrespectful. Especially when you approach a friend who is wearing one and you mention the idea that they are catholic. And the most common response is "What are you talking about?". It is really, really frustrating to find it waving around on someone's neck and they have the slightest clue on what they are representing. To give no regard to the disciples of said religion or what it represents. It even goes as far as to mention that by wearing this piece, they have eliminated the thoughts and beliefs of the current religion that is in practice.

And while on the topic, I dont really like it when people clasp a chain around a cross that still has the depiction of Jesus on it. We all understand what that represents but Jesus has already died on the cross, to hold him in that place kind of makes me feel like most are being nonchalant about it. And no I dont like the "Jesus" tattoos that people get either. I dont understand how you can paint a picture of a man we have never seen.

Not to overlook the idea that people may be legitimacy wearing these pieces, I say keep on trucking. But to those who wear these items, please be aware of what history lies beneath the fashion trends you are following.

But there is my rant, and there you have it. lol.

11.23.2009 Music Day

So today in music was a really good day (11.23.2009). So much music was released today. We have Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Beyonce', Susan Boyle, Jay Sean, Shakira, and a few others.

Of all the artist, I ran over to Best Buy and coped Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Shakira. I spent about 35$ thanks to price matching and I havent been able to put these cd's down yet. Me & My I-pod have been working over time. I cant believe I got new music from 2 out of 5 of my favorite artist (Lady Gaga and Rihanna).

Here is a small review:

Lady Gaga: The Fame Monster

As always, Gaga impressed me. Like any loyal fan, I went and purchased the deluxe addition that included the original album. This album, for me, proves that this lady has staked her claim and refuses to move. The wonderful 8 song addition helped to complete the album and it makes so much sense for her to have done that. The songs sound so different than records from The Fame, yet they sound as if they were supposed to be there. Its obvious to anyone who listens to vocals that her vocal range has gotten even better. Its always great to hear artist experiment with there vocals and sing the songs the way they want to create and produce them.
RATING: (*****) out of (*****)


Rihanna: Rated R

So I have to admit, seeing the parental advisory sticker on Rated R made me blush. Theres nothing like some appropriately used potty mouth words. Especially coming from an artist that was viewed as such a innocent person. If Im being honest, this album has to be Rihanna's best. I did something out of the norm and read a few reviews from us normal people on I-Tunes. The majority rated the album 4 out of 5 which is not bad considering this is the 1st album where Rihanna is issued writing credits (something that I love in artistry). Generally, people either really loved the album, or really hated the album. Which I can see why. I dont expect artist to be the same person they were when they started the industry, which is why i am able to appreciate it. If we did things the same way we always have, we will always get what we always had. The album demonstrates a tremendous growth in her vocal abilities and leans jus right on the naughty side. I must admit, of the 3 album, this has been getting the most I-Pod play.
RATING: (*****) out of (*****)


Shakira: She Wolf

This album is a first for me. Not that I didnt like Shakira, I jus had never considered buying any of her album. However, when I first heard the She Wolf song, I fell in love. Learning the lyrics to that song made me feel like I had climbed a mountain. I really do like this album though. There is enough of the old Shakira to suggest that she is moving in a different direction. I really enjoy how she experiments with snares and sounds that people would not think from her. Im in love with the fact that her name is on all of the writing credits. I love when an artist is an artist and she certainly is good at her craft. The only reason this alum did not get a perfect score from me is because listening to the album on shuffle can get a little repetitive. I mean, I know shes spanish and all, and I can take a spanish song every now and then, but to have the same song and then dub it in spanish and throw it on an album can be annoying. Especially if its like 3 songs. That mean 6 of the songs can take the majority of the album. It kind of reminds me of what they would do back in the day when singles were released. But I am happy with my purchase and love dancing to the album.
RATING: (**** ) out of (*****)


I was considering adding the Adam Lambert CD to my list because he, to me, is an amazing artist as well. Anyone attempting to make a statement, willing to steak there claim, and is a good performer is great in my eye. But I ended up sampling the alum on I-Tunes, and I dont know if Im ready for him jus yet. Maybe in a couple months but not right now. Im not really into the whole rock, metal, scream at me vocals, jus yet. But I do like the song he performed at the AMA's (which btw, his performance was great) "For Your Entertainment" its really nice.

If you have the sweet pleasure of knowing me personally, then you know Gaga is ony of my favorite artist ever!! She is so talented and has such an amazing passion for her fans and what she creates.

A re-package of the album entitled The Fame Monster will be released on November 23.
