GUILTY PLEASURE SONG OF THE DAY

Yacht Rock meets R&B Royalty. This is one of those that comes on in the grocery store that makes you linger in the paper goods aisle a little longer than you should. ENJOY!

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE VALENTINES DAY

Dedicated to the one I LOVE

DONNY HATHAWAY

You were meant for me

No one else could come between this love, I know
Cause I'll never let you go
You and me...it seems
Never have a problem we can't overcome
Cause you'll always be the one
Never thought I'd be so happy
Loving you has made feel so fine
I can see my friends turn green with envy
Every time I tell them, I'm so glad you're mine
You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
Cause I'll never let you go
You and me it seems...never have a problem we can't overcome
Cause you'll always be the one....yeah
Never did one thing to hurt me
You always understood my ways
If I could, I'll stay right here beside you
With your hand in mine, making love for days
You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
Cause I'll never let you go
You were meant for me

TAKING LIBERTIES

So as you know my lover has an amazing lunch blog. She packs her lunch everyday for work and takes pictures and shows the world how to eat well, on a budget and have fun while doing it.

This lunch bag would make her cringe. Leather lunch TOTE? NO thank you. I do like it for the hipness of it but would hate myself each and every time I opened it to eat my lunch.

Artifact Bag Co brings the goods

P.S
Follow her blog I dare you!

GUILTY PLEASURE SONG OF THE DAY

FYI. All of these songs are on my IPOD.

MR. BIG

THINK

Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday and stop being stressed by the to-do list of tomorrow. Instead, just take in all the wonder, beauty, and blessings of our most precious gift, this moment...this amazing day!---Anonymous.

CRAZY FOR YOU

One in my office. One in my bathroom and several tubes floating around my apartment and coat pockets. It's like Christmas when I find a new (new to me) one in a pair of jeans. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stick. APPROVED~

GUILTY PLEASURE SONG OF THE DAY

Speaking of Fame: Voila!

P.S
I wonder if IMAN (David's Wife--Yes David --he doesn't mind me calling him that) asks "hey baby did you watch my show tonight"

OH ANDY

Reality shows are really adding to Andy Warhol's visionary and insightful quote. MTV has really taken this phrase and ran with it (20 marathon's worth) I think it started with "THE REAL WORLD" to the current mess that is "Teen Mom" and "Jersey Shore". Acting a fool on TV has now become an epidemic and I sit back and watch the foolishness unfold (I'm watching for research). Bring it on, but don't expect to do call any of these folks celebrities.

So will I be world famous for 15 minutes? I'm cool on that. I would rather be a success and to me success does not include FAME...

WITH ALL THIS SNOW

I need a holiday: Collie Buddz thinks so as well:

As you know I'm always talking about how I wish my job had a dress code because of one individual who wears sweats all the time but this is ridiculous.

THEY DON'T MAKE VOICES LIKE THIS

DOPE

Kim V, GG, V and friends make this fresh video about fashion and style and just making something out of "nothing" Ladies go into your closet and make "SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING" Remember you make the style. The style doesn't make you:

Just Because it's Journey. One of the greatest voices of the last three decades. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Steve Perry. I posted this specific because it's so dramatic with the broken heart and lyrics.

I'M SO APPALLED

Fella's, what happened to acting like an adult and growing a beard. Now this weirdo "BEARDO" company trying to simulate a winter (playoff beard)? This gets the thumbs down but I bet they are selling like hotcakes. To all the bearded men in the world "we don't need no stinkin BEARDO" http://www.thrillist.com/links/198960

GUILTY PLEASURE SONG OF THE DAY

Everyone loves this song and if you don't we can't be friends:

When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
Won't you come out and play with me

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

So,

As I am trying so hard to lose weight I wonder how many people I will see with this monstrosity of a drink. I will probably have the same reaction to the Trenta as I do when I see the Mickey D's Sweet Tea....Cringe and think (damn Diabetes in a cup).

I would like to make a toast to Starbucks to keeping America fat. One Trenta at a time. YAY!

GUILTY PLEASURE SONG OF THE DAY

"Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little row boat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Didn't want no-one to hold you
What does that mean"

Who are you asking what does that mean? Can YOU explain that? This song has been in a bunch of Chase commercials (which annoys me) and I was feeling a bit nostalgic. Oh yeah, Matthew Wilder produced a little album by No Doubt named "Tragic Kingdom" (Just a Girl--Don't Speak--Sunday Morning--(that boy good)

Enjoy the classic below. FYI I love the Solid Gold Dancers

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS?

This is old yet still fantastic. "WE'LL DO IT LIVE, WE'LL DO IT LIVE"

MOSS YA DONE GOOD

Say what you want about ballers (football, basketball, baseball) who make boats loads of money not caring about anyone but themselves. Randy Moss for his entire career has been chastized for opening his mouth. I am so sick of people talking shit about athletes being dumb as bricks or being slaves while you sit in your cubicle or in your tiny office playing armchair

Look people: These athletes are REAL people too who makes mistakes just like you and me. They have a responibility to no one but themselves and their family. Have you ever made a mistake? Have you ever received a speeding ticket? Probabaly, but your life isn't under a magnifying glass contantly being watched.

Walk a mile in their shoes and maybe you'll think twice about what you say about others and maybe you should make yourslef happy before you decide to make someone else unhappy with your comments.

RANDY DONE GOOD

Randy Moss rewards students for excellence

"I always enjoy smiles on kids' faces," he said. "I like to see happiness."

I've always felt that it's important for parents and children to understand how important an education is," Moss said. "It's easy to lose track of the objective sometimes, but as a parent myself, my main goal is to make sure my children stay on top of things.

"We as adults, their teachers and parents, have to lead them down the right path and support them. They're going to be our doctors and lawyers and businesspeople later on."

This song was the jam back in the days and it still knocks! Now that I am an adult I realized this was a song about "GOLD DIGGERS". Wham was telling it like it T.I.S

"Some people work for a living...some people work for fun...girl I just work for you."

"My God..i don't even think that I love you....(yeah no duh George..wink your secret's safe with me)

Everybody sing "SOMEBODY TELL ME....Why I work so hard for you...to give you $$$ ooooooooooo"
