Glitter In The Air - Pink

Though i'm slightly embarrassed to admit it, I heard this on The Hills last night. and the metaphors and images and personification all caught my att. [God, im starting to sound like my creative writing prof.] Uhh...the song is just beautifully blunt. Glitter in the Air is off Pink's Funhouse album.

passion.

Currently, my phone's background- I JUST LOVE THIS COVER OF M. ALI ON ESQUIRE MAGAZINE. I was in this record store in Atl over Thanksgiving and there was a book of the 100 best magazine covers [EVER]. It was only like $15 but I had just splurged on some Gucci frames and swore i'd spend NO MORE MONEY. So, I left it there =( But if anyone is lookin' to buy me a reasonable Christmas/Bday gift, there you go! Anyway, in the book is where i found this. Its sorta where my heads at right now-

Don't EVER misconstrue my dignity with pride. As anyone knows to keep a thing and to stifle a thing is different. Pride [in abundance] can stifle me, but dignity can only keep me-

Donnie McClurkin!

Wow! So D. Mcclurkin came to my church [Mississippi Blvd. Christian Church; senior servant Dr./Pastor Frank A. Thomas] this past Sunday. And I've always been a fan of his gospel min.. He was featured in our Christmas Concert. Which btw the children's, youth and adult choir were all excellent!! Anyhow I was definitely impressed by Mr. McClurkin's vocals, testimony and mainly his dedication. He performed his music in mult. languages [English [of course] Japanese, Dutch, Spanish] and still managed to be just as powerful. In Japanese, he brought tears to my eyes! Most of the time I couldn't understand a word he was singing, but I certainly felt his heart in the music. And that is whats powerful-

Point being, whatever career I choose I honestly hope my dedication can be received just as powerfully. You dont have to understand me-

SHOE-OUT!!

LMAO!! THIS IS ALMOST COMPARABLE TO 'CRAZY GIRL ON TRAIN'. Now, I am by NO MEANS political. I actually try to stray away from politics as much as I can [other than adhering to my honorable and thus righteous duties as a citizen of EARTH]. But otherwise, I have my opinions. And in my O_PINION- THIS SHIT HILARIOUS!


For those unaware, its customary in Iraq/Arab-culture for shoes to be used as a sign of belittlement and UTTER disrespect because "it is the dirtiest part on [also] the lowest part of one's body." After itd been torn down, some Iraqi-people used their shoes to beat the head of the statue Sadaam Husein...Which shines some light on just how special Pres. Bush must be!

Sister Act II: Back in the Habit

Did anyone [else] not know thats the entire title? For it to be a fav. of mine, I definitely didn't- Thnx TBS for learnin' me something!

Btw, WHERE IS LARYN HILL??????
"Lauryn Hill said her heart was in Zion/ I wish her heart still was in rhymin'/ 'cause who the kids gon' listen to/ I guess me if it isn't you"

THIS! is "makin' it rain"

"...but I'm in love with someone else"

Aside from my most recent blog entry, Other Variations..., I've taken a small [nonetheless constructive] break from blogging. However, I'm back! But amid my 2 week-ish absence I've [somewhat] assessed myself [the blogger] and YOU [the blog reader].
In conclusion: IM BORED WITH MYSELF! This is NOT me. Well, certainly it is; but concurring, it isn't. I like poetry! Like hard core-spitting on the mic-out of breath-sweat dripping-I'm black and I'm proud-soufully simple-analytically complex-politically incorrectly stated-spiritually electrifying-mentally stimulating-SLAM-spoken word-prose proposed-rhythmically sound POETRY! Ya know, the GOOD stuff! And while the things I blog about are also interests of mine; I cant help but feel like they're [probably] more things that interest you [or so I assume].I'm a follower of many blogs and while some defy the norm, many if not most are just online fashion/media-takes.
[X]This just marks the turning point for F.L.S where I insert more elements outside that which can be seen on Talk Soup. The idea here is to create something worth reading-

BPJ.

Other variations of my name don't impress me

In her documentary, For the Record, Britney Spears gives us all insight into her life.

Umm...I [just] really wish she'd considered highering her education.
