I just can’t help but remember this song, as I reflect on the movie “Reign on Me“. It sort of sums up the need that we all have for a true friendship in our lives. I have a best friend myself, a lady. We’ve known each other for quite a long time, […]
Today will actually be the first FULL day of Spring, so let’s give this season its just due and start off on the right foot. The following song (Turn, turn, turn) by the Byrds kinda reminds me of spring, and it has a meaning unto itself that really makes you think of time. […]
My niece was talking to me just now, and I mentioned to her that we would be doing a post on what is love. And, being the teen that she is, she told me about Akon, her new favorite singer for the time being… She recommended this specific song. And I have […]

I’ve only recently downloaded this to my Ipod. I’m just in love with this song. I think we all get this feeling of wanting to just pack up and leave. Leave all the problems, heartaches, and tears. We can’t do that all the time, but I think, in life, you do […]

I love women, they are my inspiration in everyday life. My girlfriend, my mom, my aunt, my grandmother… they are all women of inspiration to me.
Another woman that I adore is Maya Angelou, she’s just a wonderful human being, a gifted poet, and an inspirational soul. Here’s a great song inspired by the […]

In an ideal world, ice cream would be good for us, and chocolate would be a miracle drug, my parent’s wouldn’t have been divorced, and my grandmother would never have had to die. In an ideal world, John Lennon would still be alive, singing to the the tune of “Imagine”, and the song would […]
