Today, Michael Jackson passed away. My first reaction was: shit happens. When I found out, Twitter was over capacity and every twit was a sad one about how someone felt about the death. Then I thought of how I felt when Aaliyah died, and I understood how people who don’t personally know someone can become affected by someone they feel a connection to. So definitely, Rest In Peace MJ. He was only 50 years old. =[ On a lighter note, below is one of my favorite Michael Jackson song/video! I loveee the choreography, ha!

Song: ‘Kinda Like A Big Deal’
Artist: The Clipse ft. Kanye West
The Clipse have got to be my favorite hip hop duo since Outkast. If I don’t love their shit, I ate least like it. What’s interesting about this video in the angles the director used as well as the colors. Something different. Also love the fact that we got Kanye back WITHOUT autotune!

Alright friends, I’m back. Obviously, I’ve been slacking on EVERYTHING. Haven’t been to the gym in over two weeks and everything I’ve been posting on the blog is music videos lately. First of all, I’m just tryna keep some of y’all aware of current music. Secondly, I’m just tryna live my life and enjoy my summer so I haven’t been wanting to post anything worth reading. Although, I have decided I want to write more about the things in my life and my views on things. Recently my niece Nancy turned 21st so I saw some friends & family on her birthday. I also got to chill with one of my best childhood friends Mary who was in town for summer vacation from school. I should be starting school in fall (no, for real-for real.) Things seems to be moving, not necesarily fast, but there will be some changes made. P.S. If you ever felt some people around you aren’t being supportive and are straight up hating, most likely IT’S TRUE. To all of y’all trying extra hard to come down on me, good luck! It’s gonna take a lot to bring me down biiiiiiitches!

Keep reading to see behind the scenes footage of the “Sweet Dreams” music video as well as the official remix video to ‘Ego’ (Kanye verse/performance scene added). Beyonce is griindiiiing. Above & Beyonce DVD coming soon, obviously.
The new iPhone 3g S will be released on June 19th at the price of $199 for a 16 gig or $299 for a 32 gig. Too bad, current 3G users can’t upgrade until December. OR you can pay an “early upgrade fee” of the low-low price of $399. I’m glad they decided to add video without us having to hack our iPhones, added copy and paste as well as multi-media messages. They also added voice control, which is a cool feature. Doubt they fixed the bluetooth though. I may have to sit this one out. Apple is doing an annually update and I can’t afford to buy a new phone every year. Check out the video below for more details.

A great collaboration from my girl Brandy aka B-Rocka and KanYe West. One of my favorite things about Kanye as a person is that he is very passionate and emotional. It definitely show in this performance. I can’t tell but it seems like this is an old song. I hope not.

These past few years I’ve learned many things about myself and my environment. The most important lesson I’ve learn so far is that sometimes we have no control over certain situtations and we just have to accept it. It sounds simple enough, but it can get deeper because this affects us in many ways. We often plan things to go a certain way or want to do things accordingly. Unfortunately, we can not control the weather or how other people act and accidents can and will happen. Shit happens! Many some of us strive for perfection and sometimes life surprises us with spontaneous adjustments and changes everything you had hoped for. You can be mad, yell, fight, talk shit–whatever. Or you can be optimistic and just deal with what life gave you. In this moment, I am so grateful to be alive and have support from family and friends who love me. Not everyone has that. Some families barely have food or shelter. This is what important, not materialistic shit. So now my mission is to have a positive outlook on everything and try to spread the positive energy. I want us to teach each other to love ourselves again because only until then can we love someone else. That’s where the acceptance and good attitude starts.

This past weekend, some friends and family gathered in the bay to later head towards Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. Of course there were party poopers and indecisiveness but as usual positivity prevailed and we had us a good o’l’ time. Well. I sure did. Check out the photos below.
