In the past couple of years, I have been trying to be more conscious of what is going on in the world around me. I have resorted to occasionally reading articles from what some deem as “news for idiots”–USA Today and my local papers. I get tired of always reading tragic and sad stories, though. [...]

I am always looking for music that is free and legal, but it is all the better when downloading such music helps to support a good cause.

I know it is late in the day, but I expected to have more to say. What can really be said, though? Okay. Moment of silence over. Remember the good of it all. Let’s smile again. Check this tribute out for starters

You know that little radio in your head that gets a song stuck on repeat that is so hard to get out of your head sometimes? I have no idea why, but Lionel Richie‘s “Face in the Crowd (featuring Trijntje Oosterhuis)” has been in my head all week.

Eight years ago today, we lost a promising music star. I have to be honest. I did not like Aaliyah’s music when she first entered the music scene. It was not until she hooked up with Missy and Timbaland and One in a Million came out that I started buying her albums. After that, I [...]

To help celebrate my friend Shayna’s birthday, I bought tickets to go see Robin Thicke at Chene Park in Detroit. This was my second time seeing Robin Thicke. The first time I saw him was when he opened for John Legend at the State Theater a couple of years ago. That concert also featured Consequence, who [...]

Beyoncé was coming to the Palace of Auburn Hills, so my sister and I had decided to go to see Beyoncé. We bought tickets knowing that there would be the possibility that she would have to get radioiodine treatment that week and not be able to go, but we kept our outlook positive. Unfortunately, she [...]

So, before I had my driving lesson, I did what many others probably did today–I watched the Michael Jackson memorial. This is the first time that I have spoken about Michael Jackson since his untimely death. I have grieved at home alone, trying to make sense of it all and find my peace.

Not too long after I arrived at my parents house to celebrate Father’s Day, my sister asked me to go downtown to River Days with her so that she could see Ginuwine. So, I said “sure.” I was not all that excited about seeing Ginuwine, but I did want to go to River Days.

This was my sister’s facebook post from around 7:00pm-11:00pm. I think that I have had the title of “geek” for quite some time now, so the night was nothing unusual for me. LOL We spent the evening enjoying the DSO play selections from Star Trek, Star Wars, and selected pieces from John Williams.

I am ashamed to say that in all my 32 years on this earth, today was the first time that I had ever been to the Motown Historical Museum. I went with my mother and younger sister. You know how it is. People never play tourist in their own town…I was actually supposed to go [...]

Yesterday, my sister and I went to see Wicked. We had purchased the tickets months ago, and it was a good thing. It gave me something to do this week. Once we got there, I have to say, I got sick. I was sitting on the end, though and was able to stretch out and [...]

In the spirit of Christmas, I’m sharing some of my favorite Christmas things… In the past, I have refused to buy Christmas music. I refused to pay money for anything that you only listen to once a year. The funny thing is that I don’t only listen to Christmas music once a year. I do [...]

So, yesterday, we went to Noel Night, but earlier in the month, I had planned to be somewhere else. When I was in elementary school, my music teacher exposed me to my first full taste of opera. Now, I knew about opera and had heard clips, I could only enjoy most of it moderately because, [...]
