Check in

So it's been a month since I did my last post, I decided to do a check in. Even though I said I would cut my internet I did do it some but not as much as I would like. I don't stay on too long any more or check twitter constantly like I use to but I still think I could cut back more. Especially since finals are coming up. Smh, oh joy, the happiness of being in school. I honestly can't wait till this semester is over. A nice month long break. It's going to be great. Of course me being very indecisive I'm back on this "should I stay in school" question. I really don't know if I want to come back next semester. Its not even all about the unnecessary work, this school is just not where I want to be. This was my last option but I didn't get into temple and decided to just come here. I actually wonder if I would have went to Temple would I even have this question on my mind. I'm not sure, but I plan on transferring to either Temple or George Mason and I hope I get in to either cause those are the two main schools I want to go to. Their Public Relation programs is so much better and I feel like i'll probably like it way better. But we will see. Hopefully I get accepted. If I don't come back next semester I might have go to community college around my way but I honestly don't want to really. So idk. Christmas is coming up and I LOVE Christmas time! I can't wait to get home. I know my mom put up the decorations already. I can't watch christmas movies either, which I'm bummed about. I have to wait till I get home which is not Tuesday. I don't think anyone knows how happy I am. Right when I get home I'm going to make me some Hot Chocolate =) I also hope I get the camera I asked for at Christmas. I want to get started on my film stuff. As I wrote before earlier, I'm starting to read a lot more. I went to Barnes&Nobles yesterday just to look at some books. I found about 10 that I want. So I'll probably buy like two next week, and if anyone wants to bless me with some money or gift card there, I wouldn't mind =) I should be starting some final review worksheet but I don't feel like it. I'll probably just take a nap and do something unproductive. I still don't know when I'm going to start posting again but it shall be soon, take care!
p.s I'm selling some stuff on ebay if you think you might be interested: search vonnep.

Break

I know I was suppose to post pictures from Sunday about my desk but I forgot and was busy all week. Thursday was my birthday, I turned 18. I'm getting old. I had a great birthday despite being at school where there's barely anything to do. But I did enjoy, my godsister took me out to Olive Garden & to the movies. Hopefully Thanksgiving break when I go home I can continue celebrating and do some other things. I stated in a earlier post that I was making a list of change and things to do for when I turn 18 & I did. I also been just thinking about life and my goals. Even though I said I changed my mind about leaving school, I'm still having thoughts about it. Most likely I will stay, for how long? I can't even tell you. I'm just going to go and see what happens next May. I do want to transfer though. I'm in Virginia, and not Northern Virginia, the South (country) in the middle of nowhere. Yea there's a lot of food places and some other stuff but it feels like I'm secluded from the world, lol, I know that sounds strange but I grew up in the DMV, I stayed in the suburbs but very close to the city so this different and all though it's not that bad I rather be somewhere I can start achieving goals. Everything is so far from here, and I know I'm here for school but I also want to explore and start doing what I love. The schools I'm looking at is in Virginia (North, near D.C) George Mason University, Temple ( Philadelphia) and NYC ( Fordham University). I'm still deciding on a couple of others but those are top of the list. I've also had a very weird day, it was just 'blah'. I'm honestly fed up sometimes with the internet. People and how they act on it like there some god, and just wack people trying to create some false image of who they are, and sometimes being to connected to it. I don't want to feel attach to these social networks anymore. I love my blog but as you can see its not really how I want it right now. I don't like when things are not to my expectations and this is not. All day I've been thinking about taking a break from everything. From twitter, tumblr, and this blog. I barely get on facebook like that anyways so that's why I didn't include it. I just want to be free. Just want to focus on other things, get my mind right. Also work on the list I made, which I will probably post later when I'm actually doing it. I don't know for how long. No later than January 1st probably. I'm not saying I will never be on Twitter again until then but its going to be limited, with tumblr too. Sadly to say this blog too. Until I get things in order, start fresh and fix it up. Just bring better content. The one reason also is because I don't have a camera yet. I asked for the Nikon D5000 for Christmas, I really want to be a videographer and thats going to help my start. Besides, I want to take great pictures for this blog and I can't cause the camera I have now cause it sucks. Hopefully I do get it Christmas so I can come back and really improve this blog, and attract more people to be interested in it. I don't know how many people actually visits this blog or look at it but I'm just trying to make it more enjoyable to you'll and myself. Then I'm also going to work on my consistency. I know I'm busy sometimes but it doesn't hurt to take a few minutes and show love to my blog. I may update a couple of times while I'm on this little 'hiatus'. With tumblr and twitter too, but I'm not going to be on it as much. I just need some time. I'm not sure when I'm going to start this but probably in the upcoming week. This is my Tumblr & Twitter if you want to check those out. I'll probably update Tumblr a little more than the rest but I don't how much. Until the next post, Peace & Love.

Clean up



This is my stupid Blackberry. It's been messing up ever since I got to College. Yesterday it didn't give me my messages until 5:30 pm. I'm really thinking about getting an Iphone even though I don't care for all touch screen.
Package from mommy :)

This picture came out dark because of my dumb camera
Yes, I know my desk is a mess. Its clutter and messy. That's why today I'm going to take time to clean everything up. I hate when my desk get like this but sometimes it just happens unconsciously. I really need to be more organize too. I'm working on that.

The book/magazine above is just somethings I'm ready right now. I already read the GQ book. I'm really close to finishing the Russell Simmons book, I made a promise to myself to finish it before the month is over. So since today is the 31st I'm going to try and finish that up today. Then soon make my way over to the XXL magazine. It's a shame, I probably had that magazine for about a month now and still haven't looked at it.

Well I'm about to take a shower and watch my hair. Then going to eat then clean up this desk. I'll snap a shot of its cleanliness when I'm finished and post it.

New Goals

My birthday is in a week, next Thursday, November 4th. So I was just thinking I should set some new goals to reach and change some things. I wrote down several things to work on or do but probably this weekend I will really look at it and make a more organize and in depth list. I just think its time to progress and move forward, there's a lot of things I wan to improve on and start doing. Even though I'm not excited about getting older, I'm surely happy to get some gifts, who wouldn't? I'm turning 18. It's not that old but I like 16 better. If you didn't catch me telling my thoughts about that on twitter, check it out. Also I'm currently listening to Cyphi Da Prince new mixtape. He's an artist on Kanye West label G.O.O.D music. So far its not bad, better than I actually thought. If you haven't already go take a listen.

Music Monday






Once I heard this song, I immediately fell in love with it. Everything about it is on point. It makes me want to dance on top of a car in the rain with not a care in the world.

My Generation


I saw an advertising for this show a while ago and it looked interesting. Once I saw the date that it came on, I reminded myself to make sure I watched it. Even though that was in September, I didn't watch it until today, and I found it actually to be pretty good and interesting. After watching the first two episodes I noticed that was all there was. After reading the reviews at the bottom I saw that it had gotten canceled by ABC. They said it wasn't enough viewers on the night of the premiere, which I heard it was recorded to be 3.2 million. So I don't if that's not a lot in the television department but I honestly don't understand why just after two episodes they would let this show go. Sure it started off kind of slow, but as it picked up the show became more interesting. I'm not going to go off and say that it's one of the best shows out there, but it was different show, a pretty great show at that. The creator tried something different, and made a show about what actually happens in real life. It starts off as a camera crew captures the senior year of ten teenagers then ten years later shows up to check up on them and see how they are. Of course a great deal has change because that's what actually happens in life. Even though I only been out of high school for not even a year, I can surely tell that a lot changes from high school to what you think will happen to what actually will happen. From people to friendships and relationships a great deal can change. I believe the writers were trying to capture that idea of what really happens in life, the things people are challenged with or how they grow over the years. This show had a lot of potential and I'm actually kind of mad they cancelled it. Though I saw the creator Noah Hawley's twitter and he talked about how he's trying to find a new home ( network) for the show and I was glad. He also stated that ABC is letting them put out the rest of the season which is eight episodes. I barely watch new shows these days besides a few ( like Modern Family, which I encourage all of you to watch. That show is love) but even though I might be 'young' in some people mind television is not like it use to be. Networks care more about money than they do about the quality they put out. As long as the money is coming in I guess it doesn't matter if they put out dirt. I may not know for sure what happened between this show and ABC nor may I know why it was cancelled but I think it was a bad decision. This show may not have drunk Italians fist pumping throughout the show or crazy housewives broadcasting every inch of their drama filled lives but it does show about real life and what dramatic changes and surprises happens in people lives. How they picture their self one way and ended up another, it has some kind of realness, which I like. I recommend you'll to just go on hulu.com and watch the first two episodes to see for yourself and come up with your own opinion. Feel free to share your thoughts with me too, if you like it or not. I just believe it's different then a lot of shows out here now and brings something unique to television. Besides some of the cliches, it still delivers a good point.

If you decide that you enjoyed the show, you can sign a petition to try to get it back on air here if you would like to see it continued.

Focused

I'm back at school from fall break unfortunately. It went too fast. But while I was at home I enjoyed myself and I also talked to my parents and someone about me leaving school. I think this was a good thing for me to do. Even though I went on a rant on how I wanted to leave after this semester, I think I'm going to finish out the year. While thinking about it and talking to someone that was very helpful, it would be better just to go through my first year before I make my decision. I'm just going to focus more on my work and my career, but I don't want to regret leaving school too early or not giving it a chance. I'm still going to be looking for a job or intern while at school in preparation for the summer. I'm going to write out a plan. Until then I'm to continue with school and get more knowledge and experience. I'm just going to take things one day at a time.
I was going to post a picture of a new item I got but this dumb think won't let me so I'll try to get it tomorrow.

Decisions

It's been a while I wrote something. I've been busy with school and just thinking about life. I'm finally home for fall break and very excited. I only been home for a couple of hours and I love it. Well, I talked to my parents about my pending decision about leaving college. They actually were pretty cool about but just wanted to know my reason, and do I have a plan. In my head, I have everything planned out and how I want to get started my career. Sometimes it's a little difficult trying to explain it though. With my mom it was pretty easy, she just gave me options and told to me to consider to finish out the year. On the other hand my dad is a little bit more difficult when it comes to things. Although he understands what I'm saying and how I feel, he still tries to let me know it's going to be difficult to get started with a job without a being in college or having a degree. He likes for me to look at the 'bigger picture' as he says. I understand what he trying to do and I appreciate it. We had a good talk about the pros and cons about not continuing college. He wants me to still continue to think about my decision and making sure I'm making the right one. Even though the last post I was kind of on a rant and was ready to leave then, I still want to keep thinking on this to so I'll make the right decision. I don't want to regret my choice. While I feel like right now my heart is telling me to stop and follow my dreams, I still want to make sure it's going to benefit me. Another thing is I want to start doing things a lot different. I only want to do things if my heart is in it. With the work I do, to the littlest task I take on. I'm going to start show casing how I dress more, I think my style is very versatile and I love that. I would like to give little tips and guides for women out there life and style. Since being in college I just learn so much about myself and also have a different perspective on life. I would like to share it with the world. I've grown so much, its like a new better me is coming to light. I want to become the best I can. I'm going to try and update everyday or every other, I want to be dedicated to all my crafts. No half stepping any more, it's time to grow out of that and push my self. Also I want to read more. Being more ambitious is what I'm going after. My passion is numerous things, Videography, fashion merchandise, business, music, and whatever else becomes into my interest. I know it sounds like a lot of things, but I'm going to focus on one at a time and grow from that. When something is your passion you dedicate your life to that and get so absorbed in it that you have so much knowledge about it. That's how I'm trying to be. I know it will take a while but dedicated and willing.

Miss On & On Badu

So since today is Monday, and I haven't done a Music Monday in a while, I decided to do one. Today I'm its on one specific artist. Erykah Badu, one of my favorite female artist. I love everything about her, her voice, her style, it's all unique but its amazing. I absolutely love her songs. I'm going to post some of my particular favorites.

I LOVE this song. Both of their voices together on this track is just..... I can't even explain it. It blends together so well. Also with the guitar playing in the background its just ridiculous. Its so soothing and peaceful to listen to. When you listen to it, its like you get so into the words and the music you get lost. I love this song and it will forever be one of my favorites.


Of course I couldn't cover Ms. Badu without putting this song. I'm sure numerous of people I have heard this, or someone singing this. Its so cleaver, and real you can just tell by the response by the audience. This song always makes me chuckle a little, but I do like it, her voice is just so raspy and pure.

value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CbuhKR8YXlk?fs=1&hl=en_US">




Last but not least, another song I fell in love with. I don't even remember how I got hooked on this song, I just remember always having it on repeat. I mean how can you not love this song, the lyrics and the soulful voice gracing the track.

Relieved

Lately, or maybe even for a while I've been having a problem with always worrying. I always think, "what if this?' 'whats going happen if or when I..?' Just always stressing sometimes about the future. What will I do, or how will I do what I want to do in life better yet if I'll still be alive. I constantly think on that. After a while it takes a toll on you, it makes you feel tired and honestly it gives me a headache sometimes. Now, I don't do it 24/7 or when I'm out, but when I'm just alone or just have time to think, it happens. It also doesn't help that most of the time I don't express my thoughts to anyone. I mean for me I never been the emotional girl, or the type to express all my feelings or problems. Usually, I just keep in all in which I think its hurting me now. Sometimes I write down my thoughts or even poems expressing how I'm feeling. When I do that I feel A LOT better. My head is clear, my heart doesn't feel heavy anymore, I just feel 100% better. So now I want to promise myself to do that more frequently, its good to do. I think its great to have a book or a place to write about your feelings at the moment, so when you overcome that particular thing or surpass what you was hoping for, you can always look  back on that to see how much you have grew. But back to my main problem, worrying and stressing over stuff. I always tell myself to let go and just worry about what's important and happening now. Not about the future because God handles that. When I do finally listen to myself and do that I just feel relieved and free. I shouldn't worry about tomorrow or what's going to happen to me, family or etc. I just need to keep my faith in God to know that he's in control and just live my life care free. Still cautious of what I do, and what's around me but not to the point the I'm worrying myself to death. Today I just realized how big of an issue this has become. I came across a girls tumblr that I just related to me so much, and how she had some of the same problems I had too. Plus the fact that she was writing and expressing her feelings, that made me feel some type of way. For me, as I said I don't really go and talk about my feelings like I'm doing now. But I just realize theres no problem telling how your feelings, whether you're happy, sad or mad, etc. We are all humans, we all have feelings and theres no problem with sharing them and not to be worried about what others think about or have to say about it. People out there probably feel the same way you do and when they read what you're saying, it may help them in some type of way that you would never know could, by just them knowing that someone out there feels the same way they do. Right now, I just have some type of peace that I haven't had in a while and I love it. Hopefully I can continue with it. Worrying about everything does nothing for me, but hurts me. Now that I know that, I'm ready to stop and just LIVE, I made this blog for several reasons, and now I feel like its really genuine because I'm starting to just open myself up, if I may say that. I want this to be a very genuine and real blog just about me, things that interest me and my life. I will start being better at that one step at a time. I'm not holding anything back anymore.

PS: I know I was kind of rambling and it was all over the place I just had to get a lot off my chest.

Tumblin' Tuesday

Don't forget to check out my tumblr here.
Today was a pretty good day, I went to my advisor today and talked to him about my classes next semester. It seems like this semester will be way better than this one. Its not that I hate all of my classes, its just some are unnecessary and its too late for me to drop them. Next semester I get to take more classes of what I like instead of the one communication class I have now. I get to start one of my fashion merchandise class that I'm stoked about. Hopefully this turns out great. Enough about school though, I know I still haven't posted any pictures in a while but I will. I need to do bette with this blog. Christmas is when I supposedly get my camera. ( I hope). I decided to go with a Nikon, its the D5000. I heard its best for videography which is my main purpose of buying it. The camera is great to, I played with it early August at a camera store when I was on vacation. If my parents get me that then I will be forever grateful. As for right now though its just me and BB camera and a canon one that I took from my braja. That should be good for now. But the books are calling, I have a test tomorrow so I'm going to ATTEMPT to study!

Late Start

So today has been interesting to say the least. This morning I woke up late for my 8:50 class. I had to rush and do everything in a matter of 15 minutes, which is hard for me. But thank goodness I was only a couple of minutes late to class. All day I have been sore due to working out on Monday, and Tuesday. It's been a minute since I have, and my body is paying for that. Other then that I've been enjoying college  so far. I like the atmosphere and everything, but the work is ok. I love to learn, but not about what some of my classes are teaching me. I feel like I can teach myself on most of the stuff by just going to the library. It's still difficult to tell if I want to stay. Because I do actually really like college, but I just feel like I'm wasting my time. I know I can get a lot more accomplished if I just taught myself. I know what I want to do with my life and I just think it might be a bit more easier to teach myself and go out and make it happen, rather then spend 4 years a college. I just think with my career and doesn't require a college degree, especially if you're not fit out for college. I'm not going to jump into conclusion just yet, but we'll see. I have met some cool people here so far. Hopefully after this first year I'll have some idea what to do. Enough of that though, I will be posting some pictures probably tomorrow or Friday. I keep forgetting I have my camera. I have some pictures on my phone though. I need to stop neglecting this, and I need to find someone to design my blog. Trust, I know it looks mad ugly but I'll get it fix soon.

College

It's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been busy getting settled into college and starting class. So far I've been enjoying it. I'm more excited about taking my major classes which is Communication, specializing in Public Relations, and I'm minoring in Fashion Merchandise. I honestly wasn't sure about coming to college, because its not for everybody and I'm not a fan of all this extra work that has nothing to do with what I really want to do in life. But I also think most people just need to have the experience and it could really help you socially for networking with other people who might share the same  field of interest as you do. I've  been thinking about maybe just doing two or two and a half years of school and then go off to pursue what I want to do. I'm not sure yet, I'm just going to complete this first year of school and see how it goes. If I really enjoy it I just might do all four years but if I still like it but feel like I should just do two years, that's what I'll do. I pretty much know what I want to do in life and I just need to write down minor goals to achieve to get me to where I want to be. As far as living the 'College Life' I'm enjoying it. It's different from the everyday high school routine but I'm adapting to it. 
And since I forgot to do Music Monday in a while I'll leave you'll with this:

Whats New

On vacation I had went to the outlet and picked up some good stuff. Some things I bought for school or things I wanted. I took pictures of a couple of things that I purchased. 

I wanted an all black shoe to take to school something simply but looks good so I decided to pick up the classic Chucks.




Also I picked up a pair of red vans. I don't really know why this specific color stood out to me but I love them.



Nice pair of quality jeans. I love Levis, their jean quality and style is great to me. I got the 513 "Boyfriend" jeans. The fit of them are PERFECT. I usually wear skinny jeans, but I would recommend this to any girl who wants to take a break from that and just want a more comfortable fit. 



A Ralph Lauren Classic Fit Button up. I got a Blue and Yellow one. I'm starting to fall more in love with the button up look.






These are two Ralph Lauren Polos. I love Ralph Lauren and have been shopping there for a couple years now. The quality of his clothes is quite amazing, I have old polos from there from like 3 years ago that still is in good shape and in tact. His clothes to me never gets old. Every year I go there and the new clothes that are displayed never lets me down, especially the women side. Because sometimes on other clothing lines the men clothes looks better or designs are better than the ladies. Never have I had that problem at this store though. He is one of my favorite designers, and as long as he still makes clothes, I will remain wearing them.

Tunes

Yes, I'm back from vacation. Came back yesterday, feels good  to sleep in my own bed. But vacation was really nice, I enjoyed my time. Now for the next week and two days I will be packing up for college. The next step in life, and I'm excited about it. Hopefully I will enjoy my time and meet some great new people. By the way,  I did say I was going to be posting some pictures on what I purchased this weekend at the outlet. Those pictures will be up tomorrow for sure. Today is of course Monday and I'm going to post a  couple of songs thats been on repeat on my Ipod. 
Well to start off I just listened to Wale new mixtape yesterday, and i'll start off by saying that I'm very impressed.
I haven't been that big on Wale since he blew up, I used to love him when he was local though. To me his songs was better back then, if you was a real fan you would know about his songs 'Dig-Dug', 'Ice Cream Girl Remix' all the old hits. But as he got more famous and got his record deal even though it was nice seeing some one from where live get recognized, I just didn't really care for his music as much any more.  I did buy his album though, and it was okay to me. It had a couple of good songs to me but it wasn't anything spectacular. Once I heard about this mixtape dropping though I wasn't really as pressed as a lot of people but a few days later I did download it and when I listened to it yesterday I was actually very impressed. I never thought he was a bad rapper, but he wasn't all that to ME. This mixtape was pretty good in my opinion, I listened to it all the way through. Most of the songs I liked, and a couple were ok. I do respect him for the effort he has put in to make it where he is at, and do have some good songs out there but like I said to me he's not the best but he's pretty good, I don't know if i'll ever like him as I did before, but we'll see if he'll changed that through time.
You can download the Mixtape here
Now, this artist right here I've heard about a couple of months ago. I had one of his songs on my Ipod but never really looked  into this artist. I regret that, because his music is simply great. To me he has a very unique sound, which I like and can enjoy. When I downloaded this mixtape I really didn't know what I was getting myself into but the outcome was nice. I fell in love with the very first song on the mixtape which is '1st Floor'






For that song to start off on his mixtape had me tuned in to the rest of it which is pretty impressive, hopefully a lot more people will get hip to his music. 
The last song for Music Monday is from Vybz Kartel. I listen to any kind of genre of music. As long as the song is worth listening to. But I have been listening to more of Reggae music/ DanceHall. I just heard this song today and it's been on repeat 







I love everything about this song, I can't even imagine how ballistic it would get if this was played at a party.

Last Day of Work

So today was officially the last day of work, I enjoyed my time there and met some cool new people. Although I'm glad its over, I will miss being there and the people. Today we ended the last day in an interesting manner. Yesterday we had a ceremony and a luncheon with the chief but due to some family issues he had to leave early. So today he wanted all the interns to come back to headquarters so we could have a meeting and talk. I never had an experience like this, to sit down with other kids and talk to the Chief of the Police Dept. Not many people will be able to do that, so it was quite an honor to be able to. The reason he wanted to talk to us is to ask and try to understand the youth point of view of the police. Now we all know how some of the teenagers are all anti-police and they 'hate' them, but since working with this program I have a whole new respect for them. I never hated the police or had a bad encounter with them so I never had a problem, or a disrespectful attitude or thought towards them but I know people who do. A lot of people forget that police are human too, of course they are going to make mistake and mess up here & there. Its understandable, they're not perfect. But I also think they're some crooked cops out there who do give police a bad name or over use they're power just because they have it. For the most part though, they should always be respected because they put their life on the line everyday when they wake up and go to work. Think about it, they risk their lives just to save the citizens. We run from the shooter and the bullets and they run towards it trying to put an end to it. I commend them for that. So many people say F them and all that other stuff, but the police is the first person they call when something wrong happens. The chief also wanted to know some ways that the civilians and police can find middle ground so that the communities can be better and the youth and police will be understanding of each other and a new respect for each other. Instead of stereotyping, which goes for both sides, that we would just be comfortable rather than scared or intimidated around one another. Throw events to show what being a police is really about instead of thinking its what we see on television. But to sum it all up it was a very enlightening and interesting conversation. Very insightful and I think it was wonderful for the Chief to do that, not many officers do. I enjoyed it and it was a great experience.

Music Monday



New cops

Earlier I said how I got some new shoes, now I'm going to post them up to show what I got. 
First up, the Oreos VI
I love the look of this shoe, has the basic colors, nothing over the top. 
Also picked up the Space Jams, even though they came out in December I'm kind of glad that I didn't cop them back then. A lot of people we're being a typical 'hypebeast' and I knew they was going do too much, so I'm glad I waited till now to get them, because now I barely see anybody with them on.

Sneaker Collection

Lately I've been looking for new shoes to add to my sneaker collection. I decided I'm going to start doing a sneaker collection, ever since I got my job and have the money to buy what I want no matter the cost. It's kind of like a project I'm working on cause I want to document it too, but of course I have to wait for my camera. I've had some shoes in the past that I wish I never gave away or threw away. I feel like now I have to the conclusion of the style I want to posses. I mean when you grow up you go through a lot of phases, and looks. I always had some sort of thought of what my style was but as I matured it came more clearly to me. Right now I have a set list of the shoes I want to get before I go to college. Hopefully they'll still be available for me to purchase when the time comes. Also, even though I said sneaker collection its really just a variation of shoes, like from sperry's to vans, flats, boot, and sneakers. I've got two that I've gotten in the last month that I will post up soon to show. Theres also some shoes I need to get rid of also. But be on the lookout for the footage I'm going to make showing what I have so far.

Something New

Yeah, I know I missed music Monday, but I'm still going to do it today. I got home late yesterday and I was too tired to do anything but eat and go to sleep. I've gotten some stuff over the past couple of days but I'm trying to hold off posting stuff until I get my new camera which I'm suppose to be ordering this week so once I do then you'll see more pictures. Now back to the Music, I was first introduce to this band through seeing them on Madbury Music, I took a listen to their song and loved it instantly, the mellow sound, and the smooth voice of the singer laying her vocals beautifully in tune with the instruments. I instantly downloaded this song to my ipod.

Quality VS Quanity

As I sit here thinking about what clothes I'm going to purchase when my paycheck arrives or through the summer and for school, I've come to thought do I really need this and that and so forth. For me, buying clothes is more than "oh thats cute I want that". I look at the quality of the material, where I'm buying it from and is it something I really need rather than just buying it cause I 'have' the money. I've been cleaning out my closet for some time now, and looking back at some of the things I bought and just wonder "why did I even buy this?" I know I'm not the only one who has asked that same question before. I love clothes and shoes, and when I start building up my wardrobe again, I don't want to have to ask that question, what I buy from now on is what I KNOW I'm going to wear and love. To me, I don't have to own tons of clothes to show "I'm fly" or all that bull people say/do these day. If I have a small amount of clothes, it wouldn't matter to me as long as I know they are the best quality and that I like and can manage with it. People get the misinterpretation that having a lot of clothes or shoes makes you some fashion god or fly as you kids say. Your sadly mistaken. Its about how you present the product you wear, and is the product quality up to par and worth the dollars you spend on it. Because I've seen many people spend more money than they should on items thats not worth it. But its their choice also, I just know when I buy stuff I make sure its worth the bills.

Music Monday and all that Jazz

FOUR more freakin' days till I get paid. I can not wait. I need it. But anyways my day was ok, I went to work as usual. And all day we was moving heavy boxes, I'll probably be ripped by the time its over. I took one of the illest naps ever too. We was on break, so it was acceptable. Came home to chill, took the liberty to go with my mom to the store and stuff. That turned into going to 3 stores and coming home 3 and a half hours later, no complaints over here though I enjoy spending time with my mother. & since today is Monday, it's my job to give you'll Music Monday. Well today I'm going to do it different and put 4 songs that I've been feeling and have in rotation on my ipod for a min. The top one that I will put a video up of is the one I just heard and can't stop playing which is : 

it includes my FAVORITE rapper, HOVA. I really don't listen to Rick Ross that heavy, but I do enjoy this song though. John Legend tops it off with the vocals also.
Also, the other four songs are; 
Lauryn Hill - Lost One
Adele - Melt My Heart to Stone
Blu - So Perfect
Everybody should go and take a listen to these songs, they're worth the listen and way better than this tom foolery called 'music' on the radio today.
