Happy 20th One In A Million



I remember being such Aalyiah Fan.. When I saw her new look and new Music with "One In A Million" I just knew she would be around of what I thought would be forever. I was 13 years old and I Played that CD like it was the last one on earth. To The point I had to buy it a few times. Yes It Has been 20 years of such a masterpiece and a part of the soundtrack of my life, And 15 years since we lost an angle...
Aug.27th 1996.

Ladies and Gents... I Give You Grown And Sexy Britney Spears







With the new release of "Glory" We aren't Getting bubble gum pop princess Britney, Oh no We are getting the Britney That the "Blackout" album gave us a peek of. Yes Our Girl has put on those big girl pants and snapped her fingers and asked " Are You Ready"? This album gives you a complete grown version of the evolution of Ms. Spears.

With the single "Make Me" we hear soft but in charge vocals where she is clear speaking to whomever about getting it in. However we have other tracks like "Clumsy" "Do You Wanna Come Over" "Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortes) &" "Liar" Just to name a few.

This is an Mid To Uptempo album where you can let play cover to cover. You can Tell she took her time with this as it took her 2 years to record it. No Doubt Grown and sexy Brit will Grace the stage when she returns to Vegas, However Before that she will be on stage at This Sunday's VMA's On MTV.... My recommendation is If you LOVED The "Blackout" Album as I do. Then this album is a great follow up to That. Actually It would be a mix of Blackout,Femme, and Britney Jean... Check it out I'm giving it a 4/5 and spend the extra Money on The Deluxe Album.....

Year of Yes ....By Shonda Rhimes And Hello My Name Is Doris....





In late 2015 I began a quest to figure out this wonderful confusing thing called life... 2015 was very unkind to me losing both my grandmother and my step father and so many other things seem to go wrong. So My best friend and spoke about it and decided that we would embark on this journey to get to "Yes". I did the audio book. So Listening to Shonda and the examples she gave spoke to the very core of who I had become over the years. A shell of the original person I once was, Guarded, stressed, No hope... Listening to Shonda made me understand How this happened and what I needed to do to change it. I won't Give away the book but if you are looking for a fantastic read with a possibility different way to look at life... This is your book....




Very Much Like The book "Year Of Yes" This Movie was a Coming of Age film with issue we all deal with at a time in our lives. Doris compromised her life for the sake of others. She then finds a breath of fresh air in a young co. worker who awakens feelings in her she thought were long gone. Doris scared and on unfamiliar ground just dives right in for the greatest love of them all... Herself... No spoiler but this is a much deeper story on the surface. A story somewhat too familiar to us all... Fantastic film.... Sally Field Still holds our Hearts with this role she completely takes you on a journey....
