Loveless

Finally heard 808's & HEARTBREAK. And I'm concerned.

How can you be concerned about someone you don't know?

Is it that little bit of our human selves that actually cares for beings without asking for anything in return, not expecting a thing.

Excellent review at this link. I'm not sure it will be clickable (I love to mobile blog) but the read is worth copying & pasting.

Where did Jennifer come from?

My mother decided to name me Jennifer after Jennifer Beals. The actress who starred in Flashdance.

My mother also likes to watch different "dance" movies as well as television shows. She probably wants me to be a dancer and just never told me. Because deep down she always wanted to be one.

Or maybe she just knew I was going to be a terrific dancer.

Because I am.

I don't just bend over like these other "talented" girls I spy with my beautiful brown eyes. Notice I put the word 'just' in there.

Maybe she just liked the name Jennifer.

When I dance, no matter where I am, at least ONE new person that I've never met before compliments me. And when I visit Mexico and see friends & relatives they can't help but to compare my moves to my mom's when she was my age. Hm.

Jennifer. Even though it's a common name, I love it.
I love my name.

Start the Day With God

This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it. God's mercy and grace are new every morning in my life.
I rejoice because I am God's child. I have been filled with His Spirit. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. The Holy Spirit is bigger than any problem, obstacle, or challenge. The Holy Spirit will give me wisdom and discernment regarding every decision I need to make today.
When I acknowledge God through prayer and worship, my steps are ordered and directed of Him. The Lord gives me wisdom and insight concerning all the affairs of my life.

I CHOOSE TO BE A BLESSING TO ALL THOSE AROUND ME.

No matter what happens today, I know God will see me through. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and IF GOD IS FOR ME THEN NO ONE CAN BE AGAINST ME.
I choose to honor God today by the words I speak; I will honor God by the way I act. I will honor God by allowing His love, light, and truth to shine through me.
I am the head and not the tail; I am above and not beneath. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Christ Jesus. He always causes me to triumph. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY.

Ooh toilet.

My bathroom is much bigger, nicer & a bit more simple but mann this

Don't Lose Me Ya'll

The Game may just be my new favorite rapper.

ahh Thee Wednesday NIGHT!

Last December someone told me about Twitter.

AND MY KICK WAS SUPERGLUED TO MY HAND. Do I follow her? Do I follow him?

I had this group of people that were constantly on it as well so THAT did not help much.

I thought it was a very neat networking thing. Kinda looked past how it's perfect for the nosey folk. *shrugs*

I told Davida about it. I really wanted her to get it. But my words, if any, weren't as persuasive.

I eventually realized I had a life and I missed being productive, lol, so I just stopped. I'm not sure what happens to accounts once left, and never looked at but I set up a new account today when Davida told me she wanted me to have one.

=)

I'm at a point in my life where it's time to try new things even if they're "new," and STICK WITH IT.

it ain't coo to run away.

I also created an IMEEM account.. and mann do I love these songs I have added to my playlist.
However, I don't have many songs nor the time tonight to add more.
But when I doooooooo...... I will share with yoooooooooouuuuuu.

he makes me Melt

Never been the type of woman that needed someone I had to do the things myself for it never got done
Never knew around the corner I’d meet someone
That I would be totally comfortable sharing my love

You should never say never, Cause it’s happening to me
Used to say, “I’ll never let a man take the lead”
But now I’m independent, Baby you’re all I need
Won’t let the day go to night without you next to me

My oh my! I’m letting my guard down
My heart is yours now
Baby cause now
You make me melt

I’ve always been the cool independent at times
But now I’m a friend when I look in your eyes
I try to play it as cool as ice
But you make me melt every single time

You make me melt
Like an iceberg on the sea, Baby you do things to me
That I’ve never felt
You make me melt
Never ever been this weak, this is all brand new to me
I think I should tell ya
That you make me melt, yeah yeah yeah
You make me melt oh baby

-Toni Braxton-

Feelin' this song

Ne-Yo * Voicemail

You are the one reason why I been stressing
How can someone be a curse and a blessing
All in the same damn week
This sorta been enough, this game is killing' me

You can be sweeter than sweet w/my feelings
Then turn around & be mean as a demon
Don't know what to do
I swear sometimes I think there might be two of you

Tonight
I need to get you off of my brain
I need to get up n do my thang
Tonight
Thinkin 'bout you baby I ain't
So if you call me stressing
Gonna have to leave a message
Cuz my cell phone's off
And the music's loud
I ain't tryin' to hear
Whatchu talkin' bout
So you can tell it to my voicemail

Blow me up all u want
While I'm thinkin' 'bout something fun tonight
So you can tell it to my voicemail

I'm gonna put on that dress that you don't like
I'm gonna pick up my homegirl you don't like
And we're makin moves
Probably gonna do some things you won't like to

Don't get me wrong I'm not gon disrespect myself
I gotta man & I don't want no one else
But I'm gonna have a good time
I'll call you up tomorrow, Baby, you'll be fine

But don't roll up tonight
I need to get you off of my brain
I need to get up & do my thang
Tonight
Thinkin' about you baby I ain't
So you can call me stressing
Gonna have to leave a message
Cuz my cell phone's off
And the music's loud
I ain't tryin' to hear
Whatchu talkin' 'bout
So you can tell it to my voicemail

Baby, blow me up, baby, all u want
While I'm thinkin' bout something fun tonight

Blow me up, baby, all u like
While I'm thinkin' 'bout something fun tonight

The Teen Obsession Becoming More??

Since I was 12 years old I became infatuated with Justin Timberlake. His looks, his voice, his moves, his body.. wait, 12? LOL. ok so you know, that was when he was part of *NSYNC.. As he and I got older it definitely became something more mature if you will *wink wink*

He never seems to disappoint me. Even with the media saying who he has been with or is still with, I just respect it. I doubt I'll ever meet him, he's just someone that's been very consistent in my life as far as me being interested. That's a tough job!!! (to hold my interest)

So. Tonight I'm trying really hard to catch up on the blogs I'm following and my girl *M once again, doesn't disappoint and had this video of Justin (and others lol) that had me crackin' up!!

*Video was removed.

Shadows In Paris

why must we meet
in the shadows of paris
where hardly a star seems to shine
why can't we meet in the sunlight of paris
where paris can see you're mine.

have you come to me from another
whose lips you have tried
do you still belong to another
is that why we hide

why am i cold in the sunlight of paris
where laughter and songs fill the skies
why am i warm in the shadows of paris
when i know that dawn means goodbye.

-Henry Mancini-

EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE

THA FUCK does THIS mean TO ME @ 3AM?!

Fire Drills

Shortly after seeing a mammoth driving this morning, rockin' her Tinkerbell sticker on her back windshield, my best friend (that's right, I favor people) informed me that there was to be a fire drill, "everywhere" this morning. @ 10am. Did the East Coast have theirs yet? Something about "the great shake out." Am I the only one that finds this humorous? Yep, I think so. I asked her, where she got this info at, because I wasn't informed. And if I wasn't informed, something isn't right. She said, "Ch. 11." Like that helped. Seeing as how we live in different counties and her channel 11 can be any of my first 100.

Soulful Jenn: I miss fire drills
D: you do?
Soulful Jenn: Yes, it was exciting.
Soulful Jenn: Since you had to be all "serious" about it.
Soulful Jenn: And we had a trash can full of canned foods.
D: lol
Soulful Jenn: Because we anticipated being trapped in the classroom.
Soulful Jenn: Forever.
Soulful Jenn: And 4cans of food was enough.
D: Imagine. And who the hell had a can opener?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was this morning's funny.

"Fond" Memories.

When you're a child, you watch a lot of tv and as you get older, some of your favorite characters become memories. A lot of them just continue to be "popular" but have a new theme each year. Take, The Power Rangers. Man after the original 5 I just couldn't watch anymore.

Characters such as Tinkerbell can be considered modern, what with the fucking fairy trend, you have women, even "men", of all shapes, sizes, and ages infatuated with the bitch.

Remember Betty Boop and Little Lulu?

Anyway. This morning, I found myself staring @ the back of each vehicle for stickers, labels, and any other pathetic piece of trash I could read besides dumbass license plate "words." First off, I CAN'T STAND the family character stickers. Some have the fucking dog on there as well. You've seen em. Mom, dad, sister, brother. Some have mom, dad, then the actual childrens' names. Now I got your vehicle, your kids' names, the school they attend, and whether or not they're an Honor student. Fun, fun.

Because I like fairies (tfu), I noticed a Tinkerbell sticker in the back of some funky car, and was filled with courage to see who the driver could possibly be. A very pretty lady? I think not. It was a 30 something, 200lb mammoth, with moles all over its face. Might have been female.

Ahhh mean Mondays. Only it isn't Monday. It's Thursday. I feel like it's Monday. Again, it's Thursday. So now I'm just terrible. Terrible Thursdays.

:)

Overwhelmed.

I've been waiting to find the right words to describe the night of November 4th for me.

I'm ready.

I had November 4th off, for both jobs. I drove to LA in order to vote around 2 and was finished voting for the 1st time in my life, by 4:30 p.m. I didn't have any money to get something to eat and I was very hungry. My mom called me and reminded me that she was in West Covina which was about 28 minutes from my polling place. I made plans to drive there and get something to eat. So I was on my way.

Then my boss calls me and asks if I want to come in to work, I accepted. So now I had to be home by 10 because I started @ 11p.m. Basically had to make sure I left from West Covina by 8p.m.

Arrived at my aunt's house where my mom was staying for a few days and I ate 18 pepperoni pizza rolls and after Andrew had some spaghetti, I finished what he didn't eat. Then I took a shower. Then I started watching las noticias with my mom. We were watching a discussion about the candidates and were being updated every two minutes or so on how many electoral votes each candidate was receiving. Which state was going to whom and whatnot.

This whole time, I was very anxious and excited. I knew Obama took NY and McCain took GA. Those two states and Cali of course were what I was most interested in.

Cuz I love NY and I love ATL. And I'm everLAsting baby!!

Anyway.
I decided to start my drive @ 7:30p.m.
Andrew was sleep in the car by 7:37p.m.
At 8pm I was already in Irvine.

I started contacting different people and telling them to please let me know how the electoral votes were goin'. Brooklyn gave me the msn homepage to look at, said they update it every 2mins. It wasn't showing anything about the electoral page so I just googled 'electoral vote updates' and I came across this page that said Obama had 263 and McCain was still in the hundreds. I swore that was wrong because just half an hr ago he had 100 points less than that. It just seemed too fast for me lol.

Then it was 8:13p.m.

My mom sent me a text message,

"OBAMA WON!!!"

I started FREAKING OUT. Driving, listening to music through my LX mp3 player, had my headphones on. I couldn't hear any music and was talking outloud saying things like, "He won. Won what? Obama won. What did he win? Cali?"

I immediately contacted Brooklyn and asked him what I was asking myself.

Obama won? Won what??

He said, "He's our president."

Tears instantly came into my eyes. I was shocked, overwhelmed, and so so genuinely happy. I contacted Atlanta and told him I was crying and I wasn't sure why! And he told me not to cry, that this was history. And I told him that that had to be the reason I was crying then! That this is amazing. That Obama has won and we will finally have change.

[Whether or not he would have won we would have change. It'd be someone other than Bush "running" this country].

We finally were going to have change. Something not just I have seeked for so long. I was crying hard. Driving and crying trying to compose myself. My friends were viewing Obama speak while I was driving through Laguna Beach.

I was such in a hurry to get home and see this!! I wanted to continue to be a part of this progress. And see my future president speak to me. Reassure me that my vote for him was not looked past. Comfort me in knowing that he will make a difference. He will make things better and he's anxious to serve us as our president.

My tears were a symbol of change, hope, joy, love & optimism.

As well as history.

"Now that all the smoke is gone
& the battle's finally won
Victory is finally ours
History: so long, so long."

Reminders Needed

Storytime: a regular customer came in this morning, and asked if he could ask me something [don't u love those 2-part q's, lol] and I said, "Of course." He said, "This might sound like I'm hitting on you but: Has anyone told you, you are attractive lately?"

And then I thought..

....

.

I said, "NO!"

& he said, "Pretty ladies need to be reminded every once in a while."

And I agreed.

Of course I said, "THANK YOU." For he made my week!

Ron Browz "Barack Campaign" feat. Busta Rhymes


Its pop champagne w/semi-diff lyrics

Smh

"See we voted for a change and we made it
No disrespect to mccain or palin
We rocked the vote
Now we celebrating
President barack w/VP Biden
Ohhhhh
We pop champagne
For barack campaign
Ohhhhh"

Lmaooooo

What's wrong with being HEARTLESS?

Awhile back, I wrote about how I wasn't sure why I was the way that I am either when I'm by myself or with others, familiar faces and strangers. I may or may not have also updated on that note saying I am aware the reason why. I'm not getting into that specifically. Not tonight.

I want to speak on business. And no pleasure. Not living life.

We have one life, and we aren't given the choice to live it. How EASY is it to say, "Just live life!" HOW THOUGH? How does one that cares about others and their struggles besides their own LIVE LIFE?

I want you to be happy. Yes, you. I care. May or may not be my curse. But no matter what I'M GOING THROUGH, I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALL RIGHT.

WAIT. you're not? WHAT'S WRONG? What can I DO??

see?

Sometimes I just want to not care. But then NO! I'd be just like THEM. SO SIMPLE to not care. It takes an effort to sit and make yourself a part of something that needs progress. NOT too many people that are strong for that. They want to pop champagne instead.

[You seen the video yet? It's bananas. I love it; I'm poppin' champagne as I type].

Point is, I feel like this past year was definitely not what I was planning for last year. I've made progress, believe that! I'm just not where I want to be quite yet. But truth: things are definitely looking up!! I'm planning realistic travel once again LOL. And it may just happen before this year is over. I'm needin' Obama's promise like a month ago though. Can't wait til Jan 20th.

Either way, I avoided boys and let two of those mothafuckas fuck my rotation up most recently. SO! I'm back on my fuck-you-where-my-money-bitch shit. Things moved forward when I got in that mentality. And to be REALLY HONEST WITH YOU, you can't be soulful with these demon-seized folk.

On second thought, I've talked to a few GOOD men out there.
Worthwhile dudes.
Intelligent & blessed.
They'd be too humble to NOT know it's them I'm referring to.

Good thing they're keeping in touch with Soulful Jenn.

Centenarians celebrate Obama's win for the ages

ATLANTA (AP) - At age 106, Ann Nixon Cooper doesn't usually stay awake past midnight. But on Election Night she had special reason to do so: She was waiting for Barack Obama to mention her name.
Cooper, one of the oldest voters for the nation's first black president, had been tipped off by the Obama campaign that she would be mentioned in his acceptance speech. Toward the end, she got her moment.
"I was waiting for it," said Cooper. "I had heard that they would be calling my name at least."

Caption reads, "Ann Nicon Cooper, 106, was mentioned by name in Barack Obama's acceptance speech Tuesday night."

My thoughts are I wonder how soon the damn reporters started harassing this woman, smh.

SACRAMENTO (AP) - Even the nation's oldest living man is celebrating Barack Obama's extraordinary victory.
At 112, George Rene Francis of Sacramento has lived through 19 U.S. presidents and six decades of Jim Crow laws, when he and all black Americans were forced to endure racial segregation.
The New Orleans native has outlived all other men in the country, according to the Gerontology Research Group.

Caption reads: "Lelia LaRue, right, shows her 112-year-old father, George Francis, the front page of a newspaper Wednesday. Francis is the oldest living male in the U.S.
