Kanye West Ft. Young Jeezy Amazing: My Response


This song is something that begins with an A and ends with a g. I think you already know what I am about to say. I just did not want to say it again because Kanye gave a nice helping of the word already. I enjoyed the song. It has a nice serene jungle and piano beat. When I bump this, I feel my eyes soften and a slight smile appearing. The auto tune Kanye uses is also different than the norm. This is peaceful as Kanye’s voice seems to go deeper on his auto tune as opposed to the screech-like sound I usually hear.   
I also thought the video was great too. It had lots of nature views that many do not frequently see.  I liked how Kanye appeared to be throwing sparks into an invisible fire whenever he said Amazing.  I thought the emphasis was amazing on his part. I think Kanye is saying the things he did are amazing. He is saying he will do what he wants, he has no limits and acknowledging the struggles he faced along the way.  Young Jeezy is saying something similar but with his own personal story including high blood pressure and growing up poor. All this was said in such a short song. Amazing.

New Boyz: Better With the Lights Off My Response


You know this song is really interesting. I like it when people do this. I love it when people say something and it is originally thought to be offensive then turn it around in a positive way. Remember phat? When I was in middle school, the first time people said a girl was phat, everyone thought you were talking about a female’s weight. Something different happened at that moment. The speaker replied that the word now had a p and an h instead of the f and that the word meant something cool, great, and wonderful. Well he may have not said it exactly like that but from then on, people viewed the word differently.

            The New Boys new song is similar in that regard because the title of the song usually would mean a not so attractive young or old woman. I believe the New Boys are saying that the girl they like looks better with the lights off because her personality shines. This is great for female self-confidence because this states a guy can like a girl for what’s inside her mind rather than what’s tucked into those jeans. Very good song in my opinion. What do you think?

I Am Not Afraid Of Big Words: Bring It!


Vocabulary can mean different things to different people. To some, it means greater expression of your thoughts and ideas. It is a blessing to these people. To others, it means that you have your nose up in the air and don’t want to be like everyone else. These people believe that you are trying to put yourself above others. I enjoy using big words and small words. I think that it is the way you word sentences that counts. I have heard people use big words the wrong way and people use small words the right way.  I also enjoy humor sometimes. I think that some people shy away from big words not just because of the words. Some people never ask why and don’t want to know the answer.

Sometimes It Feels Like You Go Faster On Foot Then By Car.



You know I am not too big a fan of large traffic jams. Especially during rush hour. It’s not easy sitting in an area for twenty minutes when you could have arrived at the end in five. It’s even worse when the u-turn area is congested as well. When I am in a situation like this I feel trapped. I feel that there is nothing I can do and that my destiny is in the hands of the ever-changing traffic light. This which, by the way, seems to stay on green for a slightly shorter period of time than usual.  
Just that feeling of restriction awakens a fire inside me that wishes to escape. It wishes to escape from the car and run, not walk to my destination. This fire does not care that the body will burn a great amount of energy to arrive at the destination.  All this fire desires is freedom. There is only one reason the fire does not have its way. The body needs the car for the times when it happens to not be in traffic.
How to you feel about traffic jams?
Let your frustrations loose here on my page.
Enjoy

Not All Hot Sauces Were Created Equal



Hot sauce can have a big impact on your munchies. It can mean the difference between a meal in which you are tempted to actually bite off your fingers and one where the plate stays at a safe distance. And does not get touched. Hot sauce is supposed to go on meat right? Well good hot sauce has the power to crossover, just like music. It can go on rice, corn, and even potatoes. It even has the power to go up against the all mighty ketchup.

My hot sauce of choice is Red Hot. What's yours?   :^D

If We are Like Rats, Then McDonald’s is The Cheese




We are not furry but I think we can be compared to rats because we are always in a hurry.  We are in this maze called life except we are not searching for the cheese. We are searching for the next cheese. The next cheese can be the next big thing.  The last cheese could have been the DVD player for some but after that the i-pod. These two cheeses came at two different times but the hunger did not stop after the first cheese. The hunger continues. This is where the difference between us and the rat begins. You see, the rat has to always search for a new cheese from the same source. We have a choice. Or we think we do. What if you can get cheese from 20 different mazes but one maze added flavors every couple of months? What if that one maze also allowed the hunter to take shortcuts so they could get their cheese faster and with less effort? This is what McDonald’s does. Other restaurants try to achieve this but their maze is still hard and their price is still high. McDonald’s has new drinks and smoothies, so new springs for your water next to your cheese instead of the same tap water. Even the other places that have springs only have one spring while McDonald’s has many.  This fast food giant has a little bit of everything.  They have salads like subway but you can get French fries there too. They have fried chicken tenders like KFC and they have fruit smoothies and frappes like Starbucks for a McDonald’s price. I’m not saying that McDonald’s is the best restaurant in the world but if I had a choice of which maze I had to enter for food, I would choose the maze with the most variety. This way I will feel like all my hard effort will not be in vain.
