Hawthorne

2010-06-23T11:29:00.004-05:00

Jada Pinkett Smith has done it again with Season 2 of Hawthorne starting Tuesday, the 22ND. I haven't seen the premiere episode yet, but if Season 2 is any indication of what happened in Season 1, I can't WAIT to see it!

FYI, Season 1 is available on DVD also. I plan to buy it ...when my finances get in tack. LOL!

Jada has really made a drama favorite with those who "LOVE DRAMA." The show reminds me of an updated version of ER or even Grey's Anatomy, with a twist. The fact that she stars in the series is a plus. Jada being on TV is ALWAYS a plus for me.

Remember her being on this show...

A DIFFERENT WORLD...ONE OF MY FAVE EPISODES!

PART 2

HAWTHORNE airs on TNT every Wednesday night. I forgot the time, but you can catch it in the evening time. LOL!

Peace and love!

So Thankful!!!

On June 15th, 2010, it was halfway through the year. As of this year, I have been dismissed from school, broken up with my TOXIC EX BF, suffered from a continuous depression, moved into a bigger apartment, started an at-home business and now I have to find some PT work in order to keep my food stamp benefits. Although I am employed by working from home, I haven't made any money from it yet. Until then, I NEED extra dough. With all that has happened, I STILL thank GOD for all of it because it is a continuous life experience for me. Today June 17th, 2010 has been such a great day for me. I may have been dismissed from one school, but I am now admitted back into my MBA program I began a year ago, so I haven't lost.

In order for me to be stable, I need to complete this Masters degree and move on with my life. Through it all, I know things will be fine. I am SO THANKFUL for those people in my life who care so much about me to want to lend a helping hand and give advice. Although I may not have much food, my mentor led me to someone who was moving out of town and didn't want to waste any food. She called me and now I have a fully stocked freezer. GOD IS SO GOOD!!! A friend that I recently connected with in the past few months, Christie Cruise is my sister from another mister! LOL! Not only do we have the same profession in common, but we also have so many personality traits and characteristics in common, too. It's crazy! We met three years ago in Houston at an internship for a news station and recently reconnected as friends. I know I can count on her to be real and honest with me about ANYTHING. With my ups and downs, I need someone to talk to that I can relate to. It had to be divine intervention because since then, we have constantly kept in touch. Despite all the rough edges I came across, I know I have the support with those who TRULY care.

My DEEPEST prayer is that my story or testimony will help someone else and give them strength to move out of a bad situation or inspire them to move on to something better, like I have. I realize that my goal and purpose here on Earth is to HELP OTHERS. As long as I accomplish that, I am very happy. Another deep prayer that I have is for everyone to have a strong, stable support system they can rely on or go to when a rough time comes about. With the recent tragedies and disasters that have happened, it makes you think about life in a more supportive way. Pray for those in need and even those that aren't in need because EVERYONE NEEDS HELP IN THEIR LIFE!

I hope this has helped anyone out there who reads this and gives them some sort of encouragement and hope :0)

Peace and Blessings,

V. Wade

2/1/10...after an interesting weekend.

2010-02-01T19:54:00.003-06:00

*If this is your first time reading this blog, feel free to read prior posts written by me. No pressure, but it may help, lol! JP :)

I hope those that read this can either learn something or even respond to what I have written with insight from their own experiences or they own wisdom. I could surely use it right about now. So, please reply at the end of the post, if you can.

Here we go!

From the beginning of this year to to now, I have learned so much. One thing that is the MOST important learning experience for me thus far is TRUST. I have prayed for strength and I do think I have what it takes to be strong. Sometimes, however, it's VERY hard to put trust in someone and expect it in return. The ONLY man that should have ALL of my trust and have complete FAITH in is GOD himself.

To sum it all up, I gave more that what I should have to a guy, who considers himself a man. He ultimately was completely rude and disrespectful when he was rejected by me...again. It is truly sad to know that a person who considers himself a "man" would be so hurtful and wrong when he is being rejected by the opposite sex. It's a fact of life; so is acceptance. No one deserves the right to be disrespected, in any kind of way, by anyone. I knew that he wasn't the one when I had the feeling of me not loving him the way he claimed to have "loved" me. He professed many other things and in the end, it was all a huge LIE! I let my guard down and I'm the one that ends up being hurt. This isn't the first time I have been emotionally hurt by a man, but overall, I get fed up with putting myself through that and I regret ever investing my time. Is that wrong? Is my heart now made of ice? Do I even want to be in a relationship with a man when something like this has a possibility of happening? Why do I always put myself through the ringer and emotionally give my all when it is not reciprocated or when there isn't anything given in return? Most of all, why do I have constant feelings of regret after letting down my guard?

So many men have given me advice/suggestions on how to move on from such stupidity. Believe me, I do take it to heart. As of now, it is still a lingering feeling of all the unanswered questions that come to mind, but I also realize another ugly truth of this "relationship:" he obviously said all the nice things he knew a woman would want to hear so he could control the relationship in his own way or control what he wanted from me. Like a fool, I fell for it. I know, I know, life lesson, but it's a lesson that could have been prevented had I seen the warning signs early on. I saw them and I stayed...so therefore, I feel dumb and FOOLISH!

As of today, my guard is COMPLETELY UP and who knows? It may never come down. There may be a person who's worthy enough for me to let it down, but until I can see that happening, it's safe to say:

"I got this Ice Box where my heart used to be..."

Peace and love,

~Ms. V~

The New Year

2010-01-11T19:24:00.004-06:00

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone has had a good year thus far.

I have had a good one and my 2009 was one that I will remember for many things. More importantly, for learning experiences. 2010 is the year I NEED to change who I am, in every sense of the word. That is a cliche', but a true one that I will stick to this year.

Last year I made some big changes in my life: moving out of state to starting 2 new degrees post bachelor's degree. I, to say the least, have had my struggles with many things, but that is a main reason why I am using this year to bounce back and free myself of any and ALL excuses I have made in the past.

I also have made personal choices to distance myself from things and people. If anyone gets offended by the things I say or do, believe me, it is not intentional. I have to do what makes ME happy, not what makes others happy. I have to be sane and take better care of myself and I can no longer worry about the little things. That includes people and situations. I need to start surrounding myself with people who are going places and doing things successfully. My pinnacle predecessor is the lovely Oprah Winfrey. She has attained a level of success that, to an extent, I want to obtain. I don't believe I want to make as much money as she has or be as famous as her, but as far as the goals she has accomplished and how she got there is what motivates me even more to stop the B.S. All in all, I know what I must do to succeed and I have been blocking myself from "just doing it."

I do have a Twitter @vnacole, so if u ever wanna hit me up on there, u can. Please send a msg, first, then I'll reply :) Other than that, I don't use any other social networking sites. I am on LinkedIn, however, but that's not social, that's professional.

Peace and love and keep your heads to the sky!

T-3 DAYS AND COUNTING! CONT...

2009-08-27T15:27:00.001-05:00

Back once again!

Well I had two more topics to talk about but I didn't want to add them all to the same posting, so here goes!

Sophie Foundation

As some people know, Boris Kudjoe married his Soul Food: The Series cast mate Nicole Parker in 2005. Their first child is a girl named Sophie and their second child is a boy named Nicolas. They were on the cover of the Ebony June 2007 issue with Boris and they are the cutest kids ever! Nehoo, their daughter Sophie, has a condition called spinal bifida (which I'll put the wikipedia link that shows the pic of it at the end). She has had it since birth and it's a defect that affects the baby's spine. Nicole and Boris have started a foundation in their daughter's name called the Sophie Foundation, which gives them a chance to find a cure for their daughter as well as other children and adults living with this defect. Here is the wikipedia article that discusses it:

Wikipedia Article

And here is the link to the foundation, which I believe you can also make donations to it as well:

Sophie's Voice Foundation

Here is Boris Kudjoe's official website as well:

Boris Kudjoe

Please let me know if the links work or not.

This is a great cause and it goes to show that celebrities are just as human as us "regular" folk. I don't even see them as celebrities honestly because they act and seem so down to earth and humble. This also shows that in order to be a success or to be good at something, you have to start somewhere. Helping others should be a mindset that everyone should have but doesn't because they don't think about it right away or at all. This couple have it in mind that they want to help and give others hope that you can be cured from this defect. Most importantly, they want to give back, which is always amazing!

I had something else to write pertaining to Parental Control (self explanatory), but I forgot the main focus on that. So I'll move on.

The title of this post mean alot is going to take place in the next three days. I 'm going to PA for graduate school and I can't wait! This move and decision is the BEST thing I could have ever done in my life at this moment. So many more opportunities to see things, experience life on my own, being INDEPENDENT and focused on my goal: my degree, becoming more motivated and job placement. After graduating, I have a better chance to find a job than the luck or lack there of where I am now. When I mean job, I mean a job that I ENJOY, not one that I am forced to work in or a place where I don't like it at all. At the time I graduate, things should pick up and I don't foresee any major problems finding a good paying job worth my experience and knowledge. No more excuses! I don't need to make anymore reasons for myself to not succeed. Time waits for no one!

Well, hope you enjoyed this post as well. Feel free to comment and write how you honestly feel. Thanks for reading, as always, and peace and love!

T-3 DAYS AND COUNTING!

2009-08-27T14:07:00.003-05:00

Hello to everyone reading this post!

How are you today? Great! I am really enjoying myself today for some reason lol!

IDK why I keep having these long breaks between posts. Oh well...moving on!

A lot has transpired within the past two weeks. I'll keep it short and sweet, lol. I would like to touch on a few things, so here we go!

Caster Semenya

This story makes no sense to me. Caster is the South African female who won her GOLD medal in the Olympics in Berlin about a week or so ago. The doctors in her own country as well as in the US were questioning her gender in regards to their possibly being more male characteristics in her to run as a female. GIVE ME A BREAK!! The only reason y she may have an inkling of male tendencies is because she has muscle. That's due to the workout that she does in training for the Olympics. It's a shame that a Black woman can't even earn a medal (a GOLD on at that, the highest honor) without it being something wrong with her. Today's racism is constantly showing, not it's more evident in sports. If has been a woman of another race...well let's not touch on that.

MUSIC TUESDAY!

Well it has been two wks since my last post, and since then, some very GREAT CDS have been released. These are based on my style and liking to music but I know other genres/artists have new music as well. They are:

Queen Latifah - Persona (her 1st hip-hop album in 10 yrs)

Smokey Robinson - Time Flies when You're Having Fun (this man will be 70 next year!)

Ledesi - Turn It Loose (follow-up to her 2006 CD Lost and Found)

Najee - Mind Over Matter (jazz instrumentalist)

Facts of Life: The Soul Of Bobby Womack - Calvin Richardson (his voice is AMAZING! he is on the Indie road now since his label didn't know how to promote him)

Songs and Stories - George Benson

Blues For You - Jeff Golub (Jazz artist, very mellow too!)

Vanessa Williams - The Real Thing (new single, I believe)

Forever, Michael - MJ

Next Week and in the future:

Next wk:

Trey Songz - Ready (check the album cover, CALIENTE!)

Whitney Houston - I Look To You ( huge comeback album in seven years)

Sept 29Th

Mariah Carey - M.O.A.I.A (Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel)

I like most of these artists so I plan to get most of these. Hope that helps you out.

C-MURDER

Where to start with this one? Some bkgrnd: Well, Corey Miller aka C-Murder was convicted in 2003 of a crime committed in Jan 2002, however, a new trial was requested b/c the criminal backgrounds were withheld on 3 witnesses by prosecutors. In August, the jury deliberated twice since the judge told them the first time to deliberate longer since it was a serious case. They still came up with teh same verdict n on 8/12/09 he was officially convicted of the crime in 2002. His sentencing was 2 days later and he got the life sentence. On this past Tuesday, the jury confessed to being pressured into coming up with the guilty verdict, so it's possible for it to be overturned again.

WHEW! With all that said, I pray the brotha is keeping his faith strong and his mind clear and focused. I wouldn't know what to do if something like this happened to me. FOR REAL. It's so sad how many rap artists have been successful (Pac, DMX, C-Murder) yet their art imitates their lives. Why can't they stay out of jail? What possesses them to keep going down the road of self-destruction? Just my opinion, but I feel it may have something to do with the male figures in their loves, or lack there of.

Well I'm gonna end this post and write another one so this one isn't so long. Thanks for reading and peace and love!

until next post,

I've Been Gone For a Min...

2009-08-13T10:00:00.013-05:00

...but I'm back with the Jump Off!, LOL!

Hello to all readers! It has been a while, but I had something I wanted to share, as always! So... Here we go!

Employment

As I told everyone in my first "Official" post, I am not employed. I am not worried, however, because I know my Savior has something bigger and better for my life (sooner than later, those who know, know what I'm talking about!) I'm not going to preach to anyone since I don't know the extent of the readers' spiritual beliefs, but you know what I mean. :) Since my lack of work has begun, I have been reading the Classified section of the newspaper every Sunday, just to see if my luck would change. I have been reading some very interesting stats regarding employment and reading the advice given by industry professionals who have been there and know what to do. Here are some of the stats and advice I found and hopefully it can be of some help to others:

23% of people are unsatisfied with their jobs (not a surprise)

Networking is important to get your foot in the door (heard this many times myself)

Social Networking sites are a good way to start the networking process (cool! Twitter has actually worked for me)

65% of workers plan to switch careers in the next year (again, not a surprise)

55% of workers are allowed to work remotely (meaning from home on the computer, for those that don't know lol!)

Oddly enough, recent college graduates are likely to get a career started fresh from college, as long as they have a good plan (i.e. find a job or profession you enjoy or like and keep that in your plans) Also, keep options open when it comes to job requirements or certain positions. Get your foot in the door first, even if it is with entry level position or a job that doesn't pay you what you're worth.

This may mimic the previous percentage statistic but, 30% of workers are actively seeking a new job.

22% of people spend eight hours a week web surfing instead of working (not a surprise either, lol!)

Be cautious when wanting to break the ice or using humor in an interview. It can hinder and help you at the same if not used properly. (Choose when to use it.)

Teaching is a booming career and, like health care, is always looking for workers. Many people are always getting hired and quitting both fields so why not get certified in either profession? Teacher certifications and health care certificates in billing and coding, medical assistant and etc are the next best thing to do in both fields: get CERTIFIED! It's a good second career choice to have as a backup plan if your initial plan doesn't work out.

2 out of three people (about 67%) don't have any creative outlet at work. (probably not a good thing for the artistic type of personality worker).

Now, this is a staggering stat but not one that is too surprising: 53% of workers say flex time is a top job perk. (hmmm....)

Reinventing yourself in today's economy is important, too. Consistently update your skills with the growing job market and make finding a job a first priority. Treat your job search as your full time job where you dedicate most of your time to it.

43% of employees have bought personal items online at work.

Always stay positive, set attainable goals in job searching and learn from your past experiences.

55% of workers are aware of romances between co-workers (dang that's nosy!).

52% of people can't envision their career paths in three years (not good, imo).

Focusing on your job search based on the benefits package is a risk. Talk with an insurance professional before naming that decision. If you want to start your own business, go for it! Don't let the benefits stop you from your goal.

Lastly, one in four office workers (25%) say their wireless gadgets feel like a "corporate leash."

All of these facts/stats are courtesy of the Houston Chronicle and Yahoo! Jobs.

Hope you got a little bit from this post. If you want more info or need some more explanation, write a comment.

I plan to write to write my music post later today, but don't hold me to it, lol!

P.S. If you have a topic you would like me to address, feel free to comment it with this post as well.

For your enjoyment

Click the phrase above for a tight play list I made from Imeem!

Thanks for reading, as always and PEACE AND LOVE!

Reality...or Counterfeit?

2009-07-29T21:15:00.004-05:00

Evening to all! Hope every one's having a good day/evening. Something came to me and I wanted to write about it so, here goes!

Reality Shows

As a avid television watcher (I should stop that habit or lessen it some), almost all the cable channels along with some local channels have sprung into the "reality TV" trend. I have to admit, there are some shows that have and continue to spark my interest ( the "Love" shows) but there are some topics that I think to myself " the station must have been desperate" or "who the hell cares about this?" For example, Megan from ROL2 has her show on VH1 (reality show central, lol) called "Megan Wants A Millionaire." Who cares? Lol. I want a Millionaire but I don't want to be on TV to get one. I am a private person and I couldn't see myself on TV for anything like that. Now if it was a competition to become the next big Radio star, I may consider it, lol! There is a new show starting tonight called "Holidate" where two women who are in two different cities switch places and date three different men who may be associated with the other woman or not. Like I said...who cares? Why use a show to find TRUE love? I know many people feel they can find love in a month's time, which is about how long it takes to tape most of these shows, but REAL love usually isn't that instant. That's just me. Nehoo, some people just want to be seen and others are real and want to accomplish the goals set forth in the challenges. When it comes to these shows, it can be hard to depict who really wants the outcome. They have other shows that show human interest like "Tiny and Toya."I pray everything goes well for both of them but I cant help but think if their families or themselves will continue to get a negative backlash, as far as critics goes. Many people don't like the show, but I know it was still the highest rated new show with over 3 million viewers during their sneak peek on BET. That speaks volumes, but some ppl feel it sets women back when they watch that show. I hope that their only reason is to set the record straight about their lives instead of money...

Well, I hope you enjoyed the post and thanks for reading! Peace and love!

FINALLY!

2009-07-25T18:11:00.007-05:00

I know I have been neglectful of my blog. I know I can't do this continuously if I want to start a following or just get enough people to read it. Sometimes, things do come up but other moments, I can be somewhat lazy. I will and have to do better. Since that's out of the way, here we go!!

Scott Peterson

Last week (when I wanted to actually write this blog, lol) I came across a news story that confused me a bit. I read the AOL stories and news links often and Scott Peterson's name came up. The article stated how his family are asking people to help them raise money for him to have another trial to win an appeal that can possibly show his innocence in the case and for him to get out sooner.

Now I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, wasn't he the main and ONLY suspect that was charged with this murder? I saw the E! True Hollywood Story and I was very upset at the story and even more so the disturbing evidence that was found that lead to him. It wasn't too many things that didn't lead away from Scott Peterson being the suspect. If he didn't do it, then maybe this is a good thing for the family to do. However, there hasn't been (at least that has been publicized) another person to step forward or even speak about them being a suspect or possible murderer of Laci Peterson and their unborn son. I do feel that he did commit the crime based on them not having any other major suspects. I could be wrong, but that is my opinion and until proven otherwise, I will still feel this way. I pray that this can be finally put to rest sooner or later if the family want to make this stride towards helping their son become a free man.

NJS

Also last week, I was reading a VERY interesting article/interview about a member of 'DA BASSMENT, which was a collective of very talented R&B/New Jack Swing artists founded by Jodeci founder, Devante Swing. Her name was Susan Weems and she was a member of the group that Tweet was in called Sugah! Sounds cool right? All of the following artists that have made names for themselves now were in this collective called 'DA BASSMENT:

Tweet

Missy Elliott

Timbaland (who Devante gave him that name)

Ginuwine

Playa

Magoo

Ironically enough, Timbaland and Missy worked with ALL of these artists when it comes to production, and we all know to this day he was made some major hits!

The interview was written for the New Jack Swing website called NJS4E, which means "New Jack Swing 4 Ever." As some of us know, NJS is a genre of music that was founded (arguably) by Teddy Riley in the late 80's. Remember him? He is in BOTH groups Guy and Blackstreet. He also produced Bobby Brown's HIT song "My Prerogative."

One thing I love about this website is that it pays homage to this art form that, to me, has not died or went away. Some may feel it has since music is so induced with other types of pop music and artists who shouldn't be artists (lol!). Teddy is working on albums for both Blackstreet and Guy as we speak and I'm sure that NSJ4E will have the first scoop on when they will both be released! Now, back to the article (sorry got sidetracked there).

Susan Weems discusses everything from how Devante was as a boss and how 'DA BASSMENT ended up dissolving. She talked about his true and raw talent and how he personally showed her how to play guitar. He didn't have lessons or anything himself, he was self taught! She also talks about how Suge Knight came into the picture and potentially changed his aura and the aura of the business of his collective. When Suge Knight is around, many people get nervous and who could blame them? He just has a vibe around him that seems to be negative sometimes. It was stated in the interview that he was a nice guy, speaking to everyone and clowning around with them, but everyone around that time (I think this was around mid 90's) knew what he was up to because of him being in the media so much. His background isn't squeaky clean and I feel that many people judge him for that. Once you do wrong, it follows you for the rest of your life. I haven't finished the rest of the interview (6 parts), but it goes further to talk about what she is doing now and any future music plans also. I loved the interview and what it offered fans of NJS and fans of 'DA BASSMENT. When you get the chance check it out at http://www.njs4ever.com/

Future Wedding

Well, I would like to say that I am getting married, but my good friend that I have known since middle school is getting married in August!! My brother and I got the invite in the mail last week and I am ecstatic we were invited. We went to her engagement party, and I immediately started balling my eyes out. I couldn't stop crying!! I was/am so happy for her and I always want and wish the best for her and her family! It was so moving to see her and her fiance' interacting with one another and their dancing was on point, too. I pray that I would be able to find the man to marry and share the rest of my life with as she did. I an envious of her only in a sense of wanting that kind of happiness with a man that loves me unconditionally.

Future music/DVDS

As I peruse Amazon.com, I see that Girlfriends Season Seven will be coming out on DVD October 13th and Ledesi's new CD to come out in August. The Game will arrive in stores September 1st too!! I am so excited for quality programming and music to continue surfacing in today's world. Whitney Houston debuted her new album cover last week (or was it this week?) and her new album comes out September 1st, too. A new artist by the name of K'Jon (who has a song called "On The Ocean") will have is new CD out August 4th. There will also be commemorative DVDs and CDs from Time and Life magazine paying homage to Michael Jackson as well being released in August.

This year is one to remember with comebacks and losses but we ALL must know that you should live to the fullest and have no regrets. Take time to respect and give to those without if you can afford to do so. You will be blessed for your kindness. Always help others in need and if nothing else about work and careers come to mind, always stay humble because nothing is guaranteed besides taxes and death, so don't take ANYTHING for granted. Cherish what you have now, regardless of the minor circumstances.

Well, time to sign off, but as always, THANKS FOR READING! Feel free to comment and PEACE AND LOVE!

MJ/HAWTHORNE

2009-07-15T22:19:00.010-05:00

EVENING TO ALL READING THIS!

Hope everyone's day was an eventful one. No regrets?? Good. Let's chat about some current events, lol! I plan to be brief tonight, so here we go!

MJ

First off, I watched the ABC special last night called "The Jacksons After Michael." I caught the last 45 or so minutes, but I was glued to it the whole time. I was glad that some things came up that can clear the air, and other things that, I feel should have been kept personal. When Joe Jackson admitted Katherine whupping Michael more than he did, I was in shock. But then, I was confused because I didn't know who to believe. Whatever went on in that house all those years ago, we the fans only have his movies (Moon Walker, An American Dream, The Michael Jackson Story) to really account for it. It has been out for so long that it was Joe that did it, but now, this is revealed. If it was REALLY Katherine, why wasn't it exposed prior to the making or duration of An American Dream? Makes you wonder... Another shocking revelation (well, not to me) were the pics of Michael's ankles and legs. So many people made him out to be someone he wasn't by saying that he BLEACHED HIS SKIN but the pictures showed he actually had the vitilgo disease. The pics are hard evidence of the TRUTH, so everyone should fall back and let MJ rest in peace!

HAWTHORNE

I AM LOVING JADA'S NEW SHOW HAWTHORNE!!! Her portrayal of a CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) is very convincing, lol! Of course it would be, since she herself is a great actress! (Just my opinion). My mom and I watch it every Tuesday night. Oddly enough, my mom in an RN and Jada's mom is STILL a nurse! My mom wanted me to be a nurse because of my helpful nature, but I passed. I respect people in the field and admire their perseverance (I see it everyday in my mother), but I would rather not work as a nurse in the Medical field. Billing and Coding, or Administrative Assistant, Hell Yeah!!! Not a nurse who is on their feet for almost 12 hours straight. When I watch Jada's show, I get a small glimpse of what my mother may go through every other day. Sometimes, I may get emotional because it can be hard to watch someone pass away (even though it's TV). That's real life in a hospital and knowing that my own mother goes through that makes me nervous at times. But she chose to engage in that profession, so I shouldn't worry for her. I should be happy FOR her. On the other end, I enjoy all the characters and story lines they each go through. Alot of sarcastic humor plays on through some of her other characters. She not only is the main character, but the Executive Producer. She calls the shots!! I know that many new faces are on this show (at least from what I can see) and when those actors look back, they will honor and respect Jada for giving them a shot or a piece of her dream. I have admired and loved Jada for a long time and I appreciate the fact that she wanted to produce a show with integrity, heart and of quality and humor. It is a HUGE step up from other shows that are on TV nowadays. Much respect and keep up the GREAT work, Jada! BTW, she does have a Facebook page that SHE operates, so lookout for her!

SIDE NOTE:

Everyone is not going to like what people say or do. With that said, I want to know why SOOOOOOOOO many people are coming down so hard on Nia Long for her speaking her TRUE AND HONEST opinion about artists and movie roles? She is correct in her opinion, yet she gets the negative backlash because people think she is name dropping. I feel that what you have a passion for should be your main focus, nothing else. If you LOVE AND BREATHE acting, you should do that. If you LOVE AND BREATHE music, you should do that. There shouldn't be any double dipping all because you want to "make more money" or it "looks good on your resume." Bump that. Too many artists (who should stick to singing/rapping) are not fulfilling the acting roles well enough. To many and most actors, it is their bread and butter, their reason for existing, their money maker. If they weren't paid to do it, I know some who would still pursue the career because they simply LOVE it. Same with musicians/artists. When you take that away from someone, it's cause for qualified or more pertinent actors to speak out on it. I know some musicians/artists who would not like a actor stealing their thunder from them on the Billboard charts, so why do that to a seasoned or accomplished actor for a movie role?

Like I stated in a previous blog, just because you are able to or can do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it. Some people think because they have a "pop" appeal or they are well known in whatever industry their craft is in, they can do it all. Well, take some acting classes and hone that craft before you try and steal someone else's money.

Bottom line, it shouldn't always be about MONEY. It should ALWAYS be about pure TALENT. Everyone stick to what they know best.

On that note, (sorry for it being so long) I'm headed to sleep. I want to do a New Jack Swing post 2morrow...we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for reading and as always, PEACE AND LOVE! Feel free to comment if you want.

MUSIC TUESDAY

2009-07-14T13:14:00.006-05:00

AFTERNOON TO ALL!

I hope everyone is doing well this afternoon. I am! I had somethings to talk about and things to address so here goes!

Every Tuesday is my favorite day of the week: NEW MUSIC! I am so excited that BOTH Joe and Chico Debarge's new Cd's are in stores!!! Joe's new CD is called "Signature" and Chico Debarge's "Addiction!" I honestly feel and believe that both of these artists should do a duet album or a double album together. That would be long overdue and very great for all the real fans out there. The song "No Guarantee" shows how much their voices compliment each other. They are also on tour together, so check them out when they come to town. Chico Debarge is on Twitter @chicodebarge. Joe, I'm not sure if he is, but I will look into it. It is good to see Joe staying constant in music, but I have to say: I think he fell into the trend of music with the "radio hit" phase going on right now for about two albums now. I love CLASSIC JOE and he shouldn't have to adapt pr change his sound to fit the times of today. Slim Thugga said it best and that is to be yourself and not change who you are. Classic and respectable artists like these two and also Kenny Lattimore shouldn't feel they have to change to go along with the market. That is how some artists lose fans, or even lose their appeal. This album was written, arranged, produced and sung by Joe so kudos! That must have taken a lot of work, lol! Chico Debarge went through some legal troubles and is back to where it all began: his music. This album puts him in a better place and will keep him out of trouble, hopefully lol! I admire his tenacity and him overcoming all the odds that he was faced with in life. With what he went through, he could have easily said " F*** music" and given up. I think he finds solace in his music since it is therapy for the soul and mind. Why do you think so many artists have HIT songs that pertain to personal experiences? That is what folks relate to so, it becomes popular. I will post links to some of their albums so you all can listen to them. Congrats to JOE and Chico on continuing to be you!

Beyonce: Sweet Dreams/Sister Act 2

Ok. I did see the new Bey video. I do like that it's in color and she has her KILLER dance moves still in tact , lol! The song is really good, too. When I hear the lyrics intently, it makes perfect sense! Overall, the video is ok. With the dance moves and song, I wouldn't rate it above Me, Myself and I or even Crazy In Love. I have other DC videos that I prefer over this one. The original DC, to me was the BEST vocally and you can truly tell on their first two albums. Her Sasha Fierce album is not in my collection and I don't want it to be. I like the songs she's put out but I would rather not have to pay for a double cd where it's ONLY 10 songs. As many songs she recorded, she could have put more on the CDs. Her songs are too "pop appeal" and there are more "radio hits" on this album, too. With her talent, she should not have to resort to being an artist of the NOW or of the times. Her music should speak and last longer than a few years and that's the main reason why I don't like the CD as a whole. One thing I do respect about Bey is that she is a hard worker. She has a hunger and a fight that is to be admired. However, I do not like how she feels she has to have a hand in everything or has to DO everything because she has the power to do it. First, it was wanting to cover the late GREAT AALIYAH'S classic song "One In A Million," then creating a new Dereon line called "Sasha Fierce" and now she wants to remake the movie "Sister Act 2." I understand why she wants to do it: it's a GREAT movie, that should be left for Whoopi Goldberg and her legacy. Every artist doesn't HAVE to act because they want to be multi-faceted or a triple threat. Many artists don't have to be in movies to be popular. I understand her being an entrepreneur and doing many different things. It may b in her spirit to be involved so much. I just don't think she should have to redo something that was great for it's time. We hear Bey enough on the radio to where people change the station sometimes. She is on every hour, sometimes twice an hour on most top 40 stations, and that is how and why most people get tired of hearing or seeing her wanting to do EVERYTHING. She is good enough w/o the movies or even the clothing line. I do like her clothing line, but it way too expensive and even it I had the money to afford it, I wouldn't spend $100 on a pair of jeans or on some of the other merchandise in her line. Her new line of clothes is going to be in the same price range also, so who knows what will come of that?

Bey is a great artist, but please just tone it down a notch, lol!

Here is an article posted by a guy named gyant (twitter @gyant). Nia Long is featured in it and she discusses her concern for actresses not getting their just due for roles in movies:

Well, that's it for this blog. I hope I didn't offend anyone, but if I did, leave a comment saying why. Feel free to comment regardless, lol! Let me know if the links work, too. Everyone stay positive and blessed.

Thanks for reading and as always, PEACE AND LOVE! SMOOCHIES!

First Official Post...(not really but oh well!)

2009-07-13T23:15:00.014-05:00

Ms. V's BLOG!

Hello to all!!! If you are just tuning it (lol), my name is valencia aka MS.V. I have written some posts prior to this one but let's just start fresh and call this my FIRST official blog post.

A HELLUVA LOT has happened since I last wrote on here. I want to start out by saying that I want to make this a blog about a LOVE of mine: MUSIC as well as talk about my personal life and see how and what type of response I get from the reading audience. Music is what keeps me TRULY happy and without it, I don't know how I would function, lol! I want to discuss personal life because it's real, nothing made up. I know there are many people tha t can relate to what I go through on a daily basis, so I want to be able to vent about it somewhere where I know it can help another person in their struggle. WHERE TO START??? lol... Brief history...

I am a year old college grad student looking for employment (who isn't right now? lol). Got my BA in Mass Communications and want to get my start in the Radio industry. KPVU FM 91.3 is where I honed my skills and I will be forever grateful to them. Sirius/XM watch out! LOL! I have many goals in mind including, starting a podcast, a website and getting TWO Masters degrees. Living back at home has humbled me and my next announcement couldn't have come at a better time for me.

One thing that I do is when I start writing, I can get long winded, so I will do my best to keep it short and sweet! If I don't, OH WELL!

Let's start off positive. I was accepted into a graduate program this past Friday and I couldn't be more happy! I have a job available to me when I get there, just have to sign paperwork, and sign off on some housing forms as well. When I say I am BLESSED, I do mean it. Only GOD has given me this opportunity to travel and make something better of myself in a new environment. I have been through quite a bit of things since I graduated last May that has helped me to grow up and to learn life's lessons firsthand. I will say without the help of my mother and brother, I would not be in the place I am today. STRAIGHT UP. They have put up with my bulls*** and I have to say, I have said my peace to them quite a few times as well. ESP. my mother. :( Don't you feel like your parents don't listen to you when you are making a sound opinion or a good statement that is very important to you? I get that feeling many times when my mother and I get into arguments. The sooner I am able to leave, the better I know it will be to move on and start a living of my own. Oh i forgot to mention: the grad program is in PA. Pennsylvania for those that aren't aware lol! This is my first road trip alone and I'm so happy.

The job market has been a tough one for me. I've been laid off enough to know that going to PA is the BEST thing to do. Why wait for a job or apply to a job that isn't paying what I should be making as a college graduate? That may sound selfish or inconsiderate, but that is how I feel. I know workers in China will do whatever they need to do in order to work, regardless of the pay. Educated or not, they are willing to work extremely hard to get ahead and not complain. With the job market now, it is starting to look up and employers are looking toward the staffing agencies for contractors/ft/pt. If anyone is in need or is wanting to start looking for jobs, start thru an agency first and see how that works out for you. Since graduation I have only been on three assignments, but hey, it could be different for you.

I plan and will write to both my blogs on a daily basis. Even if it is just a sentence, lol! I want to be consistent and gain readership through my words. I want to personally some people who have inspired me to get in the habit of being consistent with my writing:

my brother Rickey, who through his hard work and dedication to his music and poetry has kept my spirit alive to get the fire going!

my fellow classmate and friend ashley, who gave me some good advice and let me know of some viable info about the media world.

two ladies who seem to be the RAVE on youtube, Candy and Skittles, who have a youtube channel called SweetAddictionsTV. All they did was start filming themselves doing their daily routine and talking about their daily routine and they have become a huge hit!! They inspire me cause they are doing what I am doing, just with video.

Anyone else who has given me advice, strength through stupid bulls***, drama and hard times, people who are down for me and people who genuinely respect me as a woman, sister, friend, lover (lol jk!) and human being! thanks for all the love!!

I had more on my mind, but I may have forgotten it... oh well.

If anyone know how to get a podcast started, holla at me, Ms.V on the following apps:

twitter: twitter.com/valzozos
facebook: v. nacole wade (search) it should work, otherwise search with my full first n last name

myspace.com/snootieflutie

just send a msg letting me know who u are, if u have info about it.

I plan to do a poll question each day or few days dealing with current events in music or otherwise, so if you all have something that can be discussed, hit me up too!

Will frequently be putting up a play list of my fave songs or a play list/album that I love!

I also will post up a video of SweetAddictionsTV so you all can see them for yourself.

I want to help out whoever I can so if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them.

Lastly, thanks for reading my post and as always, PEACE AND LOVE! Feel free to leave a comment, I want honest feedback, for real!

2009-05-05T11:36:00.004-05:00

I know I haven't posted in a long while...since I have been in school but let me catch up.

I graduated last May(2008) and have been looking for steady work since. I have a B.A. in Communications I have been laid off three times since graduation but am bouncing back from it! I am currently looking for work and want to break into the broadcast media industry. I am IN LOVE with MUSIC and the RADIO industry is my SECOND LOVE! My goal is to be a business owner, run my own things. I'm in graduate school at Walden University. It's distance learning and very convenient to me looking for work. I think that's all so I plan to post more frequently to vent or to just comment on things, voice opinions or just for fun!

Check me out @ http://www.twitter.com/valzozos

2007-11-12T16:15:00.000-06:00

firday was a good day.. it went by pretty quick and the end of the work week came by even faster. the BET College Tour was here friday and they had a lot of fun things to do: concert, obstacle course, trivia games, hiv testing for the students and a singing contest. the most was the concert tehy had which included: murphy lee, chamillionaire, bun b, lil keke, dj Michael Watts, and juwuan from the st. lunatics. all of these artists were great in their performances and it made me wonder why they chose to participate in colleg tour. guess it was good promo...

ending thursdays...

2007-11-08T17:18:00.000-06:00

i am bored here at my job and I can not wait to leave. leaving early is on my agenda and it is getting close to time. i LOVE the fact that I have a place to work, but I do get tired or bored here. but i cant complain since many people need a job nowadays. so i will just keep quite about it unless it affects me personally. peace and love!

...

2007-11-08T17:12:00.000-06:00

i did not have a title for the wednesday post, so I just put the ellipsis there. the week is going very well. the best part is getting to the end of the week but this week is a great one. the middle of the week makes me anxious since I know there are two more school days left in the week. i know this post may be boring, but i don't have much to say, same ol' same ol. every week is great for me unless something drastic happens, but even then it will still be a good week. peace and love!

martes...

2007-11-06T15:13:00.000-06:00

It has been interesting today. Busy as ever, but what else is new in my life? everyday seems to be full of things to do. it hasnt really let up. can't wait for the end of the semster to be over, let alone thanksgiving to roll around...

2007-10-22T12:52:00.000-05:00

just kidding! i just wanted to have something different to say for friday. practice was a long one and I needed to wash. I could have washed during that time but i chose to partake in other things. so it sucks for me. I know that next friday is going to be a long night with the step show and all for homecoming week. NO SLEEP!!

2007-10-18T16:39:00.000-05:00

thirsty thursdays!!

2007-10-11T16:41:00.001-05:00

As I get over my sickness, my allergies are acting up more and more than ever since I have a bad cough. I know what it is from but in the end, the allergies make my throat dry and I end up having to drin a lot of water or fluids. All day I have needed the urge to drink something. I finally got some water so now im happy.

wednesday

2007-10-10T13:02:00.000-05:00

There's hope for me yet. I am content today and I would like certain things to transpire sooner than later, but I don't have any control over that. that's all i have to say today.

today

2007-10-09T15:45:00.000-05:00

for once, I am putting certain people to the side and focusing on what is best for my sake and what is good for me to do. I can not prolong what is necessary to be done in order to acconplish my goals whether it comes to my living arrangements or schoolwork or even personal life. As a woman, I should not compromise my well being, health or personal habits to please anyone else. I should be able to live in peace without having to concern myself with matters that arent important especiall within my own living space. But sometimes, you have to do what you gotta do to in order to make things right. Many people may not like it, but like I said earlier, you can not please everyone. I have had to learn that many times in my life and I still have more to learn. All in all, I did what I had to do...

a glorious monday morning!!

2007-10-08T10:25:00.000-05:00

i am feeling great today! i doubt anyone or anything will take my mood away from me. I am recovering from my sickness and I WOKE UP AND FELT GREAT ABOUT TODAY! I am just so happy and church yesterday was a great revelation for me personally. I saw someone get baptiszed and now i feel this week wil be great!

friday afternoon

2007-10-05T16:09:00.000-05:00

i feel much better from yesterday and I am so happy that I am in the last school day. the week went by so fast and I couldnt be more happy. Midterms are this coming week and I will be studying starting this weekend. I am not really used to doing that so warly but I know that I will need better grades on these tests.

a sick thursday...

2007-10-04T13:41:00.000-05:00

well I am sick due to post nasal drip and I can barely speak. I dont know what to do besides take medicine and get some rest. I pray that I do get better before the weekend begins or at least before next week starts. I know that through him I will be able to make it through the week. peace and love to everyone!

DALLAS TEXAS

2007-10-01T13:36:00.000-05:00

The game was Saturday and I was shocked that we did so well in the last minute and a half. We could have won the game had grambling missed the field goal. But it was a great game by PV's standards. We are so used to losing game after game after game that I was expecting us to lose to them. The excitement overall was magnified times 10!! Good job PV!

Wednesday is always an enjoyable day for me. I get to watch people strut at HUMP DAY. That was my thing my freshman year. Now, I still watch it, but it's not a priority. Starting out at HUMP DAY, most underclassmen make it a priority to schedule classes around HUMP DAY. And since I don't work on this day, I like it even more!!!! peace and love!!!

what a day!

2007-09-25T15:04:00.000-05:00

I did not get much sleep last night. I wasnt able to wake up like I wanted to and I came to class late. Things were not as good as other days, but I did wake up today, so I can't complain. Hopefully, I can get enough sleep tonight. CAB had their Field day last night and it looked fun as I walked by. There were all sorts of games being played. Wish I could have been there...

Tuesday...

Today is Tuesday. I have mixed feelings for today. I feel GREAT because I woke up this morning, but currently I am hurting with a small headache and I just came from the cafeteria. I didnt want my headache to amplify because of the food I ate, but I guess it happened anyway. it's a good chance that I will not eat again until late tonight. MSC food is something else, I tell ya...

For those that missed it, you missed a GREAT Senior Recital by Ivory Townsel this past weekend! She was very opinionated and talked about many of the things that people are afraid to say. I hope that people are more open to going to the junior and senior recitals hosted by the Drama dept. They work VERY HARD and should be rewarded for their efforts!!! PEACE AND LOVE!
