"The Radiance Of A Thousand Suns..."

You, You, You Oughtta Know!!!

Are you familiar with Late Night Alumni? If not, you should be. (If you're familiar with DJ Kaskade, he's in this group.) Their songs are like musical pain killers...if that makes any sense. I have their song "Empty Streets" in my music player and it's really one of those chill the fuck out type of songs. I actually went to visit a friend last week and we just sat and listened to Late Night Alumni for like two hours. No bullshit.

Pardon me while I LMFAO...

Memorie

2009-05-29T21:19:00.000-07:00

-Sigh-

nos⋅tal⋅gia [no-stal-juh, -jee-uh, nuh-]

–noun

a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time

So, I just happened across my ninth grade year book and I got that feeling. You know...nostalgia. It got me thinking about myself when I was younger and before the accident and it's like, "Damn, things were so simple." I was so different...things were so different. I don't mean to be cryptic here but...IDK...I just prefer not to say some things right now. Anyway, I remember my grandmother telling me to enjoy my childhood because it would fly by and, at the time, I was like "Yeah, ok g'ma." but in the back of my mind I was like, "Whatever." I can't say that I didn't heed her warning but it's like...wow. Time does fly and it's so crazy because you don't even realize it until it's over. I guess that's how it always is though. -shrug-

FYI: I did not spell "memory" wrong.

Exes and their bullshit ass friends

2009-05-29T21:05:00.000-07:00

I consider myself a very loyal person and loyalty is something that I look for in the people that I surround myself with. So, with that said, I don't think it would surprise you that I think that your friend's exes are off limits. That's just an area that comes down to loyalty and respect as far as i'm concerned. Well, apparently, not everyone shares my sentiments on that issue since i've been "approached" by "friends" of a couple of my exes on more than one occasion. Now, A.)Their shit was wack. B.)That shit is mad triflin in my opinion. And as a matter of fact, i've been debating about whether or not I wanna be a bitch and tell the exes about their "boys" since i'm still on speaking terms with the said exes. IDK.

Re-awakening

2009-05-23T12:12:00.000-07:00

To relocate or not to relocate...tis the question. Some days I feel like I know what my decision is and then other days I just feel lost. So. My dad wants me to move to Virginia Beach this summer with him and his wife. Basically, her mom's sick and she wants to go care for her and my dad's going with her being that that's his wife and all. I was coming to accept my dad not being in the same state as me when, all of a sudden, he gets the bright ass idea to ask me to come with them. Boo! Nevermind the fact that I go to one of the best art schools in the country. Nevermind the fact that i've lived in New York all my life. Nevermind that shit. Jiselle should just up and move her life to Virginia according to her dad. W T F. Why is my life so fucked up? Why do I always get stuck with the hard decisions and bullshit situations? Why do I love my dad so much? Ugh. Fuck this.

When they escape, they get tied up with some other good old boys and an ex-girl friend (Gabrille Anwar) in the search. Of course, everything goes wrong and everyone crosses everyone else.(1996)

All Grown Up(Part L'un)

2007-12-21T14:19:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I was flotaing around the internet yesterday and I came across a picture of child-star Jurnee Smollett at the premiere for her new movie The Great Debaters. Well, of course she's not a child star anymore....she's 21!!! WTH?!!! You might know her from roles on shows like Full House, Martin, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Cosby('96), On Our Own, and NYPD Blue. She also had a starring role in the 1997 drama Eve's Bayou which also included Samuel L. Jackson, Lynn Whitfield, a young Megan Goode, and Jurnee's brother Jake Smollett among others. This post may seem rather pointless but it was just like WOW!!! cuz I hadn't seen her in anything in quite awhile. Anywho, direct your attention below to see the lady...

Ok, so I know that I don't really post much about ME anymore(my opinions, my life,etc.) but I think i'm gonna start to because it's alot of things that I would LOVE to get off of my chest...for example: I go to alot of different entertainment blogs and one thing that I want to say is that i've started to notice a trend in one particular blog I go to...the trend is that instead of posting entertainment related things because it's an entertainment blog, the author of the blog posts things that ARE entertainment related but are moreso to make fun of celebrities and ,in my opinion, humiliate them and try to bring them down to the level that the author thinks they should be on...I mean, I know that ,for example, My BB Allstars post wasn't the nicest and my comments about Miss Jones weren't the nicest but hey, it's not like I do it for the SOLE purpose to attack these people...i'll post more later...

Ok, I just had to post this because this has been my laugh of the day...I mean, who do these people think they are?! If you don't like a video then do what everybody else does and turn the channel!

To: Columbia Records, A Division of Sony BMG
This petition is for the advocacy of having Ms. Beyonce' Knowles, Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment, and all other entities associated with the creative process of creating the long-form music video known as "Deja Vu" reshoot aforementioned video immediately.

This video is an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music video projects of Ms. Knowles. The following problems have been pointed out by numerous fans on and offline:

A) There is no clear story or theme to the video
B) The dancing is erratic, confusing and alarming at times
C) The sexual themes and shots between Ms. Knowles and Mr. Sean Carter PKA Jay-Z, are alarming and show unacceptable interactions between the two
D) The fashion in this video, while haute-couture, is unbelievable and ridiculous
E) The editing, while professionally done, causes one to get dizzy and disoriented
F) The overall feel of the video leaves a sense of much to be desired
G) The video is very disappointing and is not a clear representation of any of the songs themes

We, the fans of one Beyonce' Knowles, ask that an alternative video be shot featuring; more choreographed & less spontaneous dancing, clearer visual themes that relate to the lyrics of the song, less gyrating, less scenes of non-existant sexual chemistry between Mr. Carter and Ms. Knowles, less zooming and quick cut edits and a more stylized and clear direction for all other aspects of the video production.

Suggested in this re-shoot would be the hire of another producer besides Ms. Sophie Mueller -- one more acclimated to urban themes and imagery in music videos, other than Hype "Letterbox" Williams.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Like I said before on someone elses blog, if you are a REAL fan of someone, I would think that you would be applauding them for what they did do instead of trashing them for what they didn't...

Billy Flynn is Usher Raymond?

2006-07-14T07:52:00.000-07:00

Little Bit Of News

-Hmmm...Ok, so I just read somewhere that Usher will be joining the cast for the Broadway show "Chicago"...I was really excited when I heard this because #1, I really liked the movie "Chicago" and #2, Usher is not a bad actor and he's just too sexy...but here's an excerpt from the article...

"...The chart-topping R&B singer-songwriter will star in the hit musical as slick lawyer Billy Flynn for six weeks beginning Aug. 22, The Post has learned..."

Well, this seems to be a good look for Usher because this could possibly bring him more fans...

-OMG! Ok, so I watch the Real World and anyone else who watches it knows that Paula is not the most stable person but she's trying or was trying anyway...but I went to the Access Hollywood website just to look around and I saw an article about Paula that shocked me a bit...here it is...

'Real World' Cast Member Arrested
CROMWELL, Conn. (July 11, 2006) -- A cast member on the MTV reality show "The Real World" was arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge Monday after police said she bit her boyfriend during a domestic dispute.
Paula Ann Meronek, 25, bit her boyfriend several times when he refused to let her into their home at about 3 a.m. Sunday, police said.
"I think it was an argument that led to one thing then another," Cromwell Police Chief Anthony Salvatore said. "He attempted to keep her from the house. It got physical and we were contacted."
Meronek graduated from Quinnipiac University in 2003 with the highest grade-point average in its business school, the university said. But MTV is marketing her as an unstable, relentless partier.
The popular show, now in its 17th season, puts seven strangers together in an exotic locale-- this time a Key West, Fla., beach house. A call to the show's producer was not immediately returned.
Meronek was charged with third-degree assault, which carries a potential penalty of a year in prison. She is due back in court Aug. 11. No lawyer was listed in court documents.
Her boyfriend, John Alyward, was charged with disorderly conduct. The arrest was first reported by The Middletown Press.

There's not really much that I can say about this but I hope she and her boyfriend can work thing out...

♥Well, in this edition of "Interesting...", I wanna talk about one of my favorite shows, Making The Band 3. I hadn't originally planned on posting about this show but I watched this Thursday's episode and I just HAD to! On this episode, the girls(Danity Kane) had to go through a rigorous 72 Hour schedule which included doing an interview with one of the infamous Djs of New York's Hot 97 radio stations, Miss Jones...what can I say about her...well, first of all I wanna just show you a picture of her so you can get a mental picture of her...she's the one on the left...

Ok, now that you see what she looks like, let me explain what happened, Not only did her and her cronies attempt to humiliate the ladies but one of these idiots disrespected them after they did an A Capella performance by saying "Only three of y'all bitches can sing..."...I think that they were totally out of line and disrespectful to the ladies and I was personally disgusted by it because it was unnecessary and totally didrespectful...

Here's a couple pics of Danity Kane(MTB 3)♥:

2006-07-06T19:48:00.000-07:00

♥Well, this year's season of Big Brother has FINALLY arrived...and this is the All-Stars season...I have to say that this is honestly one of my FAVORITE shows on t.v. and i've been watchin it since BB 4(The infamous Ex-Factor season)YES!...well, for those of you that don't know what Big Brother is, think Mtv's Real World drama mixed in with Survivor type backstabbing,deceit, competition,etc but on CBS on Tues.,Thurs., and Sun and in a house... Well, since this is the All-Stars season, the viewers got to vote for 8 of the houseguests from seasons 1-6 that they wanted to go back into the house and the Big Brother crew picked the other 6...I have to honestly say that even though THE MAJORITY of the people that I wanted to see back in the house didn't get in, this will probably be one of the best Big Brothers ever...ok..here's who got in and what I PERSONALLY think about each of them...♥

-(BB4:Ex-Factor,2nd Place)OMG! This girl is SUCH a freakin lier! Has there ever been a bigger female lier on Big Brother?!

- (BB 3,2nd Place)Don't know much about her cuz I didn't watch Big Brother during her season but she seems a little cocky...I haven't quite made up my mind about her yet...

-(BB 5,12th evicted)Good 'ole Diane...the only thing that I can say about her is that when she was on BB...I liked her in the beginning of the season but then she started to get cocky...

-(BB 4,9th evicted)How in the hell did she get on?! She was sooooo boring during her season! WTH!?

-(BB 1,6th evicted)Once again, I don't know much about him since I didn't watch seasons 1-3 but he seems kinda OLD and CORNY...

-(BB 6,9th evicted)Oh no! I can't stand this guy! he really disappointed me during his season and that's all that needs to be said...

(BB 6,8th evicted)Whoa! There's so many bad things that I could say about James...he is like the male Allison but he is probably one of the best BB players ever even though he didn't win...

(BB 6,10th evicted)What a bitch! Now,you know, that i'm not in the habit of badmouthing people :}, but that is INDEED what she is...can't ******* stand her!...

-(BB 5,5th evicted)Can't stand him and he is such a jackass!

(BB 6,4th AND 6th evicted)I have to honestly say that he is one of the DUMBEST players in BB history because he was evicted and then he was given a 2nd chance in the house and STILL didn't win! But this guy is sooooo cocky...and that's all I have to say about that...

(BB 3,9th evicted)Didn't watch his season but he is one of the GIRLIEST MEN I have ever seen on t.v. and I am definitely NOT homophobic in any way, shape, or form but it's TRUE...

-(BB 2,4th evicted)Don't know anything about him...haven't made up my mind yet...

(BB 5,11th evicted)Now...I can honestly say that this girl comes off as a genuinely good person and i'm happy that she got a 2nd chance on this show...

(BB 2,Winner)I've heard alot about the evil Dr.Will and I think he is SINFULLY cocky...SERIOUSLY!!!!

Hmmm...

♥Well, I found a new website that has blog skins/templates so I spent the most part of last night just trying out new ones and I eventually decided to stick with this one...so...ok, my and my dear mother had quite a few words for each other last night and it honestly made me take a look at myself and it made me attempt to figure out why I am the way I am...I mean, I think i'm a good person but I just have certain flaws(I guess) that are just hard to change...i'm opinionated, tactless, very critical, overanalytical(at times), withdrawn, and the list goes on...oh boy...what to do...I guess I should ask GOD to "Grant me the serenity..." and make a effort to change A BIT...because ,honestly, there are just some aspects of MADYSON that won't change...i think that's good in some ways but...it's sort of a GIFT AND A CURSE situation...♥

♥Well, this is my first of a series of Interesting posts...in these posts I will just talk about movies,news,songs,etc that interest me...well, the first thing I wanna talk about in this post is Star Jones departure from The View...

Well, I wanna start of by first saying that I am SO HAPPY that Star is leaving the view! I am not very fond of her at all and I think that it would help the show if she left...now I know that that may sound a little harsh but she's just...uggghhh! Now there have been talk of new additions to the show from Rosie to Brandy...to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind either of these ladies because I have been a Rosie fan for awhile and I've been fond of Brandy since "I Wanna Be Down"...maybe Star'll do some more Red Carpet stuff for E! or something, which I definitely won't be watching...I think I would definitely take time out of my day to watch The View if Brandy and/or Rosie were on there...oh yeah, it's quite a shame about that falling out that Star and Barbara Walters had...hmmm...♥

This is my first message for this blog. I created this blog because I thought that it would be fun and I wanted 2 share my interests with people on the internet.I guess you`re wondering why this blog is called My Music/My Life. I called it this because I love music,I listen 2 it 24/7 so I feel like it is apart of my life. But this while blog is not about music being apart of my life, it is about every aspect of my life , from the music 2 the good and bad days.

Bored,
