Day Nineteen: you're the air I breathe on a hot summer day

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 20:07:00 +0000

Day Eighteen: we didn't eat our vegetables... stunted our growth

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 20:05:00 +0000

Exactly what I thought 6th grade girls were like when I was in 4th grade. It's crazy how that works. Just wait till I'm grown.... Shoot, I feel it now! When I was younger, I imagined people my age were in a muuuuch different place, doing waaay different things...

Time freakin' flies!!!!!!

Day Seventeen: rock and roll & roll and rock

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:59:00 +0000

Does Bobby V do it justice???

Day Sixteen: how I feel sometimes..

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:55:00 +0000

Day Fifteen: you will never have my rhymes

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 21:34:00 +0000

Dedicate to this blog. LOL! Slightly kidding... but I'm trying to take this transition thing more seriously. So far, I most certainly have NOT. The most I've done is list cool names in my journal. Time to step my cookies up...

It's really over, you made your stand
You got me crying, as was your plan
But when my loneliness is through, I'm gonna find another you

You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you

When I was your lover
No one else would do
If I'm forced to find another, I hope she looks like you
Yeah and she's nicer too

So go on baby
Make your little get away
My pride will keep me company
And you just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me and once for someone new
I'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
Oh I'm gonna find another you

Day Fourteen: I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:02:00 +0000

Definitely in my top 20 favorite videos. Michael Jackson probably makes the most appearances on the list! What videos do you like? Please share!

Day Thirteen: and why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album JUST for THAT?!

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 01:56:00 +0000

Day Twelve: destiny... or fate?

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:56:00 +0000

I searched "destiny" on Flickr, and this was the first image to come up.

Day Eleven: big night for us, gentlemen...

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:47:00 +0000

Richardson: You look exhausted. You should take a vacation when all this is finished. You've earned it.

Harry Mitchell: I'm not sure the kind of tired I am can be fixed by a vacation.

Day Ten: cupid has done it again

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 01:05:00 +0000

Why am I still a day behind????!!!

Day Nine: the crush

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:43:00 +0000

(Makeup for missing yesterday)

This was more or less my experience... I was just minding my own business, about to pummel some kid, when all of a sudden the sun hit him just right and the wind blew his hair back and I had to put my fist down. My stomach twisted up & my heart kinda skipped a beat.... and suddenly... I HAD A CRUSH!!

I'm just kidding, that never happened to me.. But I did have some good crushes back in my day :)

Day Eight: if I could trade my fame and all my jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 03:27:00 +0000

What I see/feel when I listen to this song:

It's 1997, I'm sitting at home in the afternoon, watching The Preacher's Wife on TV... and my mom is cooking Sunday dinner. I hear the popping of grease and smell something I know I'm going to like. And I'm (im)patiently waiting for the sweet tea to cool down...

I'm young, so of course there's no real homework to do. I'm free to enjoy -- and hold tightly onto -- the last few hours of the weekend.

Relaxation.

Shout out to Samantha :)

Day Seven: it's never safe for us, not even in the evening..

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 03:11:00 +0000

Day Six: my dignity's come undone

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 03:55:00 +0000

Omg, almost missed my time!

This is a rough week, so each post is going to be pretty short (and ugly).

The point of today: so much great music being made lately! I've gotten so much beautiful new stuff from friends throughout this whole month and I'm so grateful for it/them! Some of this I would've never heard if it weren't for them. So this is for y'all :)

Day Five: I wish that I could be what I want to, I wish that I could do what I don't do....

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 03:23:00 +0000

"It was my misfortune -- or salvation -- to be at all times perfectly conscious of my misperceptions of reality." - Susanna Kaysen

Day Four: think I've got some dip on the side...

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 18:19:00 +0000

This is really for yesterday:

Day Three: messing me up, my whole head. teasing me, just like Tisha, did Martin...

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 02:49:00 +0000

Last night I was excited to go to a 90s party. I got dressed up - backwards cap, hoop earrings, cartoon tshirt, bright sneakers. Needless to say, I was hype.

But then I got there.... and there was no 90s music. What is that?! Was it too much to expect music... from that decade?

Whatever. Here's a 90s playlist to make up for what I missed last night.
And this is just a tiny SNIPPET of the wealth of good music that is available from that time. Like... only a molecule.

Dress up, dance in your mirror, and enjoy!!!!

3. Crush On You - Lil' Kim feat. Notorious BIG & Lil' Cease (video)

9. Got Your Money - ODB feat. Kelis (video)
10. You Got Me - The Roots feat. Erykah Badu & Eve (video)
11. What's It Gonna Be?! - Busta Rhymes feat. Janet Jackson (video)
12. Ghetto Superstar - Pras feat. ODB & Mya (video)
13. The Most Beautifullest Thing In The World - Keith Murray (video)

Day Two: will they ever be around or will they turn their backs on you?

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:30:00 +0000

Happy Friday!!!!!

Not much to say... but I wanna have a TV sitcom group of friends when I get older. Girlfriends, How I Met Your Mother, Friends... good stuff like that :)

(Granted, Girlfriends is sometimes trife... and so are other TV shows. But the dynamic is what I'm feelin.)

Day One: she's the color of the sun, the petals of a daisy

noreply@blogger.com (Jazzy) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 05:30:00 +0000

As I consider transitioning this into a more personal blog & creating a new public/structured one, I want to try to make myself post something every day for 30 days. Think I can do it?!
