Your nails ultimately tell a complete stranger who you are with a complete glance. And, with so many options, you can change your mood as much as you like!
And for the corporate working woman, nail expression can be a fun and creative challenge! The most common and popular nail trend is the acrylic nail; where the consumer can choose an overlay process or a nail to tip process. Pink and white is a happy medium and also versatile as pink and white can be done with acrylic or gel acrylic and white tipped nails.
Gel nails are in high demand because of its gentleness on the nail bed and the quality of staying "fresh" throughout the given two week time span of nail treatment and the application. Solar nails use both powder and gel for an effortless natural finish! Once you've decided on how you want to protect your nails, the next step is deciding on what you want your nails to express! Pastels, opaque, medium to dark colors are fun for the fall, while classic manicures never get old!

The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis
The Rules of Attraction
The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis is a novel written in a manner that transcends from decade to decade. His descriptive writing allows for slight innovation and is the blue print for many situational series produced for television.
The characters within his novel suffer from emotional dysfunctions primarily because they are college aged adults; working toward self discovery. The most important rule of Attraction, is that there are no rules. Believing so, Ellis single handedly gives the reader insight to various emotions and sexual encounters during the course of the novel.
With several of the characters there are feelings of resentment towards their counterparts as well as oblivious dispositions towards the emotional feelings or balance of feelings throughout. Some of the behavior described could be considered animalistic; or even belligerent.
With all the chaotic charades of campus living, how could one be concerned with rules of attraction? The novel solidifies two phrases: one, "Survival of the fittest," and, two,"It's a dog eat dog world."
The characters are not necessarily looking to obey a set of rules more so than they are seeking exactly where they fit or belong in such a universe. The novel is a great read, if you have not done so, read The Rules of Attraction, Ellis will not disappoint your curiosity; the novel will definitely give you insight and a different opinion about dating.

When does the journey get easier?
I am in a very place- or more fittingly appropriate space in my life. It seems as though burdens only become more burdensome than anything. I mean I just want to lock myself in the closet and eat double cheese burgers until my heart explodes because my arteries are clogged from all the grease and fat. I'll be too stuffed to get fitting for funeral attire so my body would have to be burned and sorted through the ocean.
I feel like I'm being stalked. For real and its super creepy, so I go to therapy every week. Thats really not going anywhere. I feel like Im talking in circles instead of moving forward. Why does it seem that there is no urgency in my recovery?
And doctors prescribe shitloads of calorie filled pills and you're burning up inside and outside because its the summer time. I guess they feel like if they give me enough pills with sugar in them I eventually develop an artificial happiness, its not working, if anything it is making me more miserable.
I'm not looking at my past for a moment in regret. I can say it enough, that I'm looking towards something new. You couldnt understand if I could explain it in a more simple nonverbal statement. Its unfair to be labeled as something you're not when the very people who put this labels on you are the ones who actually mental evaluation.
I mean to think that you have to water yourself down so that those who could care less can catch-up. Yes. Like your real friends know where you're suppose to be and the slow motion click is getting grandfathered into positions and stature and they have no idea how to correctly perform the duties of their "career" And, you've been a college grade for six years, to no avail. And, I can't respect someone who thinks that self-reliance is "stupid" or "dumb."
And the ignorant ones laugh, and call you names because to actually have an opinion is a foreign thought, never heard of. Basic. Simple. Average.
Its either better or ended it; the world that is. People wake up everyday for what? What motivates you to live everyday? And then having to inhabit yourself around negativity constantly for years is never conducive to growth and positivity; is it? I cant see it being so.
Stop the facades. You are only making a mockery of yourself.

Five Zero Seven
Its 5:07 am and Im bored. And perplexed, not in the least annoyed. I figure the people who enjoy those trivial things are asleep or plotting something horrific for me. Yes. So, Im up working on making me Better, and Im letting the immature things go. I can only go for what I need in order to be happy. Please stop telling me that I do not know myself. "I turned myself into myself and I was Jesus......"
There may be a reason why.....
I was born in the congo
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
the sphinx
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
that only glows every one hundred years falls
into the center giving divine perfect light
I am bad
I sat on the throne
drinking nectar with allah
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe
to cool my thirst
My oldest daughter is nefertiti
the tears from my birth pains
created the nile
I am a beautiful woman
I gazed on the forest and burned
out the sahara desert
with a packet of goat's meat
and a change of clothes
I crossed it in two hours
I am a gazelle so swift
so swift you can't catch me
For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son hannibal an elephant
He gave me rome for mother's day
My strength flows ever on
My son noah built new/ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
as we sailed on a soft summer day
I turned myself into myself and was
jesus
men intone my loving name
All praises All praises
I am the one who would save
I sowed diamonds in my back yard
My bowels deliver uranium
the filings from my fingernails are
semi-precious jewels
On a trip north
I caught a cold and blew
My nose giving oil to the arab world
I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
the earth as I went
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid
across three continents
I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission
I mean...I...can fly
like a bird in the sky...

River
My name is River and my strength is everflowing.
God has sent several storms in my path, I've endure them all. I am flowing, growing and the debris of yesteryears fight to stay afloat through my waves.
Internal pain has produced exteriors of brooks, streams, creeks, and puddles.
I'd be dam but I can't seem to avoid the struggle, can't go around it, can't go under it, I have to go through it. And those things that once seemed to matter is merely nothing but matter.
So I cry only to grow and every banks closing only lets me know that the remains of the storm's debris only bring closure closer to me.
I'm traveling upstream so that I'll make it for shore and when I'm done racing peace shall be the final score.
I'll come full circle landing in the circumference of a beautiful ocean and my tears will restore the nile and my dreams of motherhood rest in the eyes of my unborn child and my waves would only comfort for a little while, but the excellence of your tenacity would restore my smile.
-Be Forever!

The Integrity of A Woman.....
So, I just finished viewing the latest episode of Basketball wives LA and one of the women hit below the belt LITERALLY! Yes honey, I can not recall who; a comment was made about Brandy and her inability to have children. And, for me, that is low. Very Low. Who i their right mind would belittle another woman and their inability to produce children? That is DISGUSTING! <FYI. I really have nothing more to say....**Washes Hands**

When Will Change Be Enough?
The OBAMACARE health incentive is in full force, and surprisingly, the media is still constantly encouraging consumers to take advantage of the opportunity. Moreover, the media is also warning consumers of possible tax penalties next year if the government sees that they have neglected to sign up for health care. All I can say is WOW! Yes, wow! Thats amazing that change is in action and we are still negligent in taking the necessary precautions for stability!
What I can admit is that I will likely be penalized during next year tax season because, when I decided to sign up for coverage; the entire government was shut- down! LOL. By the way, I can not remember hearing reports about the possible shutdown that was predicted to occur last month! So, things are looking up! and thats always good news, right?

Absence makes the Heart Grow fonder; Presence makes the Heart feel fulfilled
It is another monotonous Monday!! What are we here for? Why was I created? Good questions. Do ever feel like you're in the middle of a circle; or a converse of no stopping points? I always do! Its so Monotonous! So, Im like waiting on the metro transit, and I was think about that clique quote; and I was like I need to complete that one, so I did. What do you think about absence: not in "love" love, maybe something that you LOVE! What do you do to feel satisfied? What the substance thats missing to you? is there a substitute for the truth?

Wanting More From Life...
So, this has been sort of a challenging week for me! I got over those jitters March always seems to bring. Took an organic approach to conflict, confusion, chaos! Now, I work towards contentment of infertility and wanting to reproduce.
And, how I feel; its only going to change if you let it, Im forreal see. So, I guess Ill get my ink redone. New Attitudes have to be solidified with new ink! And its well past due for me. I'm just apprehensive about the pain, of which I do not do well with. So, I guess it.s a matter of getting over the initial shock of the pain. There is nothing more disappointing than having to do things in a repetitive form; more often than not; the act of doing so gives you that feeling of incompetence.
I feel incompetence in many areas of my life some of which are primarily my own doing. And other failures derive from poor decisions which lead to more hardship; so, then you're left in a feeling of resentment. And resentment leads to questions and those questions never get answered; and unanswered questions leads to depression; and depression, anxiety because you're left with a feeling of worthlessness.
Not wanting to be who you are because you've been told all your life that no matter how much you ascend yourself into that realm of competence; you'll never be perfect or master the unspoken ethical code of life which appears to be status, money, and automatic respect.
And, even though you feel that you've mastered those things you cant seem to get the reciprocal. And if you matter to you; you never give up and you strive for those things perpetually.
So, I always seek more from life, and I encourage all those who want more to take the same just stand; and worry not about status, money and automatic respect because you can do what is necessary effortlessly.
And, that is wanting more from life; effortlessly living; letting go of your inhibitions; singing that love song you wrote about being crazy in love, being worth more in every aspect of your job, your personal, professional, and associative life; is that 'coming full circle?' To me it is, I see myself being more jovial about life, I see myself being appreciative, and I see myself being royal; because I always seek loyalty in love, friendship and commitment; so, that like being forever!
And those that don't matter get you, and more often than not, your ideas are explained for understanding because those that understand; like to see your ideas flourish instead of being explained. You Know? Right!

Reason, Season, Lifetime; BitterSweet Progression
Life grants us many opportunities and if we are fortunate we seek a Carpe Diem attitude. And sometimes in the opportunities presented, we make great friends and form lasting relationships, while other opportunities are definitely situational.
So, I find myself learning to let go and progress to something more meaningful or progressing towards the next task or duty I was assigned. Sometimes, a "let -go" is unexpected, painful, and even difficult to accept.
And sometimes, not letting go of your past keeps you in situational bondage. And then there comes a time in your life where you have to choose where you want life to lead you; you know that fork in the road sort of situation; yes, you have to choose.
And more often than not it is inevitable, I was fortunate to have met, worked with, and befriend a lot of amazing people, and every round goes higher, and what I thought was my stopping point is not; there are a lot more people that I will meet if I continue to live; and, I just learned that adjusting to environmental factors will help keep me in perfect peace with myself.
So, over the past year, I learned to let go; acceptance, and most importantly, I learned more about the beauty of optimism. People come for a reason, season, and only the true ones stay in your life for a lifetime. No prisoners in my democracy...
And you should not feel bad when people leave out of our life. Every situation is a growing experience. If people want to be in your life; nothing should keep them away, and tears, anger and frustration is not the key that will make them stay.
Take relationships with a grain of salt; and that way when the ship has sailed. you will feel vivacious and your vessel will continue to be the the saving grace of those wayward souls.
Im looking forward to a year filled with great friends, opportunity, and of course optimism!
Think positively, live fearlessly, and with no regrets!
CHEERS!

Self Control and Manipulation
Having self control, is a complex that everyone suffers from, because we get passionate about things; for instance, the fans of the Mexico and Nigeria sold out the Georgia Dome Stadium; that's right reportedly 72,000 fans gathered last night to cheer on their teams. And, the fans came out in the most extravagant apparel along with noise makers, banners, signs, face paintings, drums, wind horns etc! And, of course there was no self- control because the fans were more intune with the passion of their teams and their countries!
And, ironically, Wednesday was a day of testing; "How much control do you have?" Good question; and with control does your mood lead to vehement anger? Also, another good question.
Most people encourage, ignoring situational confrontations that would lead to anger; which is ultimately a sign of no self-control.
So what do you do when then "natural factors" lead you to a lost of self control? Rephrased, I would say this: "What do you do when your conscience informs you of aggregated frustration?" Maybe that is what Rihanna was unapologetic for? Anger, lost of self control; and not becoming the victim of manipulation.
I've experience many instances where my anger leads to a lost of self control; and I never apologize for being angry; "that's like apologizing for being real." And Let the People Say: "YA FEEL ME! " Yes!
So when you connect the dots, you can discover where your frustration and lost of self control derives.
Never apologize for being real; apologize for something else like; being insensitive, or oblivious; or inconsiderate.
-Be Forever!
And, ironically, Wednesday was a day of testing; "How much control do you have?" Good question; and with control does your mood lead to vehement anger? Also, another good question.
Most people encourage, ignoring situational confrontations that would lead to anger; which is ultimately a sign of no self-control.
So what do you do when then "natural factors" lead you to a lost of self control? Rephrased, I would say this: "What do you do when your conscience informs you of aggregated frustration?" Maybe that is what Rihanna was unapologetic for? Anger, lost of self control; and not becoming the victim of manipulation.
So when you connect the dots, you can discover where your frustration and lost of self control derives.
Never apologize for being real; apologize for something else like; being insensitive, or oblivious; or inconsiderate.

Another One Bites the Dusk....
"Single Ladies," the popular television series; written and created by Stacy Littlejohn is being canceled. I was very, no extremely disappointed to learn of this news. If you read my blog, you know that the show is one of my favorites. I feel like that is the problem; inconsistency with television production. Viacom is allegedly working with the producers on a different show; that poses to be better;so, if the network is concerned about ratings, why would you eliminate a show that is doing well to incorporate a new show?
If I had my way, I would continue to fund the show, "Single Ladies" while introducing viewers to another show. I feel that by doing so, VH1 would propel their network into a multifaceted network that caters to all ethnicities, by producing shows that extends beyond culture and racial lines. I just feel that it is not a very wise decision.
If you really look at the network; they offer reality, music and music specials, psychological programs, and typical everyday television series; well they could because right now "Single Ladies" is the only show that holds that slot. Furthermore, on a Monday night, if everything is alright; I can ease into my evening with VH1, and more often than not, I watch that one network for about six hours effortlessly. So thats that!

Why dont we FALL in love? February, Langston Hughes History and The FAME of Chris Brown
I, Too, Sing America
by Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.

Well, I personally think your good out weighs your bad, and your talent has kept what is left of R&B alive! Stay Focused; you too Sing ICONIC!
In November 2005, Chris Brown’s Scott Storch-produced “Run It!” -- a rewrite of Usher’s “Yeah!” -- topped the Billboard Hot 100, making the 16-year-old singer the first male artist in over a decade to top the chart with a debut single. While there was nowhere to go but down, at least in terms of chart positions, the pop-oriented R&B vocalist was only getting started. By the end of the decade, he was one of the biggest active pop stars, with a clutch of Top Ten singles and platinum albums to his credit, along with constant comparisons to Michael Jackson and several acting roles on the side.An immediate Top Ten hit when it was released in 2005, Chris Brown not only featured the number one “Run It!” but two other Top Ten singles in “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” and “Say Goodbye.”Exclusive, released in 2007 and a bit of a departure from the squeaky-clean image displayed throughout the debut, was even more successful, featuring the number one single "Kiss Kiss" and two other Top Five hits. Yet another Top Five hit came with “No Air,” a duet with Jordin Sparks that appeared on Sparks' own self-titled album. Weeks after the 2011 Grammy Awards ceremony, Brown released his fourth album, F.A.M.E., which already had four singles on the charts. That album topped the Billboard 200 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts, and it also took the 2012 Grammy for Best R&B Album. During the ceremony, he performed a medley of "Beautiful People" (off F.A.M.E.) and "Turn Up the Music," the latter of which previewed Fortune, his fifth album, released in May 2012Read more at http://www.pandora.com/chris-brown?bio

For Score and Um Like four years Ago; Hmm Im still... Well,,,,,, youll have to read for the end of that thought!
After four and a
half years of turbulence, laughter, and tears, I had finally completed my
program at Alabama State University and I would receive a Bachelor of Arts in
English, soon after. Yes! I was excited that I had the will power to stay on
course and see my program through even though there were many distractions
along the way. So many that I had not truly thought about what would be the
most effective and strategic transition for my future. With this uncertainty
probing at my brain, I enrolled at Alabama State once again, this time as a
graduate student in the counseling program. In the beginning I fully enjoyed my
classes and I was really engaged in the idea of becoming a school counselor.
While taking the
classes, I didn’t feel very confident because I was not receiving positive
feedback from all of my professors or my advisor. Although I was doing well
academically in this program, I felt a bit confused. I really felt as though I
wasn’t receiving the proper guidance in order to become a successful counselor,
in fact I actually sensed that some of my professors felt that I wasn’t capable
to be a counselor. I feel that they were judging me, and not truly taking the
time to get to know a really colorful, passionate, and driven individual. But
that is in the past, and I am excited that I took the high road and enrolled at
the University of the Rockies to complete my program.
Here I am a twenty-five year old
unemployed woman determined to complete my call of duty. With all that I have
experienced, I have not let the storms of life damper my zeal! I enjoy the fine
arts such a jazz, tap, and ballet, the opera, and wine. In addition to those
things, I also enjoy all sports, cooking, shopping – of course, and web
browsing! I enjoy working with the youth because I always want to feel like a
guiding light to those that are lost or appear to be.
I am not a confrontational
individual and I truly believe that things can be resolved with out violence or
any conflict. I was very excited when my enrollment counselor informed me of
this program. I feel that this degree will help me achieve one of my goals in
life. I enjoy writing, it is something that I am very passionate about and I
hope to complete a novel in the future.
In addition to writing, I take
pleasure in listening to music, attending plays and traveling. With all that I
have experienced, I love humanity and I want to provide my thoughts, my
service, my kindness, and my well being to the betterment of the world,
wherever I am sent. I love creating and
building new friendships; I think that friendship is a very important element
to self-growth and universal understanding! I look forward to creating and
building new friendships with everyone in the classroom!
In short, be the change you want to
see in the world!

A Letter to Robin
Today, I feel lethargic. I dont know how to combat my energy I dont feel angry. I do feel lonely like I wish I had friends. Seeing people live makes me feel happy and hopeful. What now? I just cant figure it out! Dang Robin, I really can understand how you feel. I want to feel like we are connected, and not because of the zodiac.
Like I could tell you that hearing your song was sort of a primer for the massive destruction I feel right now. That I'm embarking on my 3rd decade of life and more often than not, I feel hopeless. That when I look into the mirror I feel life- less, yes as if every glimpse takes me to a state or residual guilt and confusion. That I like G.O.O.D., but I cant seem to focus on my own dreams.
That no matter how hard you try to feel as though you matter, you constantly tell yourself that you dont that even though you can admit and take responsibility for your own mistakes as a woman; society will not progress forward using your pitfalls as the ammunition to their shots fired towards your integrity.
That even though your eyes have have been blurred into adjacent lines far, far, far, in the distance; a part of you wants to hold on to memories of back then. And although you want understanding, you're given t.i.p.s. instead of the truth.
That you live your life one headline at a time, and real drama is misconstrued as entertainment. So, I ask myself what am I here for? I passed out last friday morning. No one showed concern. No one asked if I was okay. I needed tangible love, you know, like a hug and encouragement. I am human; thats what "I am " means and it hurts not getting that.
It hurts to know that you trust your feelings and your emotions in matters of the heart only to be growing and confused, afraid and even more fragile. So fragile that death through persecution would suffice just as long as it's over. That you're depressed, numb, manipulated because of who you are.
A knowledge thirsty, fun and loving mild temperamental girl to some, when you look in the mirror you see a woman. A woman that like every woman has had to face and overcome adversity, get her heartbroken, experience love and relationships all while trying to flourish into a woman of humility, integrity, respect.
And, no matter how hard you work towards validation, they still dont get it and so you give up. You pop pills, hallucinate, feel artificial emotions, and these three characteristics become you(These are the times that try men's soul- Thomas Paine ) defining for others who you are; you live as an open book because you want others to see that you are an honest person and you get to this part of your letter and realize that :
Your life is a circle that has to be broken allowing U to decide if you want to be and those who care will rise to the top with you, while others will scatter to the left and right of you.
And those that believed in you will remain on solid ground with open arms, should you fall from the clouds.
And, those who never knew you will marvel at your grace, glory, and goodness. And the hope and faith in your eyes will ignite not only your passions, the passions of those who raised you up on their wings with devotion and determination you will have mounted your spirit into the sky; beaming down on earth as a ray of sunlight and lighting up the world in dark desolate places.
Guiding others to destiny of dreams and unmounting your self from your place in the sky taking a leap of faith into another lifetime; you're now a shooting star.
And with self preservation your soul had been anchored. The pressure from your past, the cold shoulders that brushed against your left and your right heated your passion which to some was only a thought, but in seven days, seven countries, and seven colors created an iconic dynamic diamond-BEAUTIFUL!
Like diamonds in the sky. So, what I am saying is that when you get to a what now moment, remember that your beautiful like diamonds in the sky.
Never say "why?" Just shine bright and give off light to those who were sent to roam on a dark broken ship. Let your light shine, let your light be their answer as an S.O.S. call.
Be a:
Beautiful. Astonishing. Diamond Girl RiRi
Smile, You are Awesome!

A Pink Elephant from Pivotal Dreams..
Come over tonight in your flesh and blood. No one is here with me now and I want to feel your passion and give you power. Its only my thoughts and I know you'll leave me up waiting all night until someone comes back home and then it'll be too late and we'll go back to our separate lives again. Yeah, today was terrible. I had to close out my thoughts and worry about my feelings opposed to others. And now, baby its you!
I guess our ship has sailed , or vehement passion encompasses your feelings towards you. But seduction encompasses mine. I want to Cater To You, I want to entice you with my body. Yeah, I want to Dance For You. And free all my inhibitions and take a bow of humility and understanding. I'll get back to where I was and you'll retreat back to your love. And then we will wait to see if we can spend forever together, but forever will never come.
I'm marrying Rodney, and its too late to make changes. I needed to be with you to grow and see what I expected from love but you could you ever fathom my desires. Until is was late, and now our neglect places us into a realm of longsuffering. I dont know what more I could say.
Forever Always,
Tracey
And without second guess or thought. Tracey Left the note at Jermaine's doorstep, rang the bell and went to her car. She left the note on his doorstep and 3AM. Giving him all day to think about if he was absolutely sure that he was to say Goodbye? He had been harassing Tracey all weekend and he knew that after all the failed attempts to see her to no avail; he had lost in the battle.
In a stifling stupor towards the door, he called out.
"Who is it?"
And there was no answer. With absolute assurance, he unlocked and opened the door; no one. He stepped out to search for perpetrators fall in the distance, and just as he put his left house shoe out the door, the light blue envelope hit the floor as it was propped on the door-way's in- step. It had no addressee, just a few words on the front that read the following:
"Sometimes, in order to find the right kind of life for you, you have to leave"

Super Nova!
"A nova is caused by the accretion of hydrogen on to the surface of the star, which ignites and starts nuclear fusion in a runaway manner."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova)
Many believers say that wait for the stars to align before making serious decisions, why not wait for a nova to occur? Who could imagine that some magic potion propels a star to explode! I guess that is where shooting star derives.

Strange Fruit performed by Billie Holiday and Nina Simone
Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
And the sudden smell of burning flesh!
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
And the sudden smell of burning flesh!
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Love, Marriage and Divorce: An Album Review
So, Thee Toni Braxton and Thee Babyface Edmonds were considered pioneers in the music industry in the early nineties and now they are back with a new album; Love, Marriage and Divorce.
Download here: : http://smarturl.it/iLMD
The first record I listened to was "I Hope That You're Okay." This melody features Babyface. In this song is sort of that peace offering most men plea when their heart wants to feel that flutter of yester-years with the old flame or love of their life.
Next, "Hurt You!" Love it! First single release; Check it Out:
"Sweat;" I really LOVE the composition of this record; it is a true classic sound of the two working together, it has that "Breathe Again " vibe to it!
The D Word, yes "The D-Word, " Who wants to hear that? Not many, some can not wait to hear it, Usher calls it "Dem Papers" its inevitable sometimes, its a growing pain, in life!
"I Wish" that our love was not a "Rollercoaster," so that we could stay away from "Heart-Attack" and when the love is real, we never have to say "Take it Back" and Kim said the ring didnt mean a thing, "Take it Back" because "I'd rather be Broke" than to drown in the pool of your jealousy, and then sometimes the heart wonders until two hearts are "Reunited" and "All the Way Home, " We wonder; "Where Did We Go Wrong?"

The Abyss of Ashley; A Video Commentary
February 3, 2014
3:34 AM
I just finished watching Big Sean's latest video, "Ashley." I was like "okay, whats this song about?" Because I've never heard the record. I like the visuals of the song.
The video depicts a rising star who in the midst of success is battling with his emotions for Ashley, a girl he was romantically involved with.
Sean is madly in love with her primarily because Ashley saved his life by keeping him out of harm's way; drugs and gang life in the streets of (Eight) 8 mile.
And even though he loves Ashley, Ashley has found infatuation with Danger, and because she is scorned from her childhood, she feels that to feel danger is to feel love.
The actions of Ashley's infatuation destroys Sean's vision and understanding of love and it drives him to the point of insanity, and Ashley continues to be oblivious to how her actions effect Sean.
The pivotal point of story or relationship is when Sean hits rock bottom and the success of his music career is challenged forcing him to choose between emotional love or self love.
His love for himself and his desire to tell others about his story is the driving force that helps him to leave a tainted situation and Ashley dies in her abyss of sex, sin, and danger.
I like the video, although at first, I was totally lost with the story line. So, if you have some time, check out the video and leave your comments below in the comments section of my blog!
