When You See Me

What do you see?
What do you perceive?
When you look at me?
Is it confidence or conceit?
Don’t get it twisted!
I’ve been gifted
With this radiance
With this glow
So when you see me
I’m just lettin’ it show….

When you see me
I’ma let my light shine
‘Cause you just don’t know
What I had to do
Just to make it through
And the seeds I had to sow
For this smile of mine to grow
For this beauty of mine to show

So when you see me
I’ma be shining
Like a true diamond
Holdin’ my head up
Struttin’ my stuff!

Prom 2008: Trendy or Flimsy?

What is really going on with this generation today? Have they lost their minds?! I do not understand how high school staff & parents allow these students to wear such inappropriate things to prom!! Please explain to me how one gets away with wearing a jogging suit & tennis shoes to a prom? How does one get away with wearing dresses revealing your belly or showing off too much cleavage or wearing so-called "booty shorts"? I'm sure many of you saw the excerpt on CNN news a while back about the high school student in the gold dress that was turned away from her prom because of her dress. I was listening to a radio show that same day, and quite a few high school students were calling in saying how embarrassed they were for the girl in the dress. When I was in high school (which wasn't that long ago), students would be turned around & sent home if they were to show up in something too revealing or inappropriate! I understand that every teenager wants to be dif...

Bernie Mac & Isaac Hayes: Gone but Not Forgotten

Ok, I'm just going to sit here and recollect on my most memorable things about Bernie & Isaac. I will always remember this line, "Jang-a-lang...Jang-a-lang...my name Jang-a-lang". He just cracked me up in the movie Life . I also loved when he stepped forward to say...."I...I...I the pappy". Everyone will most remember Bernie for two things: Kings of Comedy & The Bernie Mac Show. He truly started something with..."Milk & Cooooookies". It's like now whenever you hear someone even speak about "Milk & Coooookies", one would automatically know exactly what the speaker is referring to. His performances were just amazing...hahahaha (just got a visual of him rolling his eyes while telling one of his jokes on Kings of Comedy)! He will be missed! Isaac Hayes.....I really only remember three things about him: 1.) Shaft 2.) South Park 3.) I'm Gonna' Get You Sucka' but these three were definit...

"Lincoln Heights" Tragedy

I am just devastated! I can't believe "Johnny Nightingale" is no longer on the show! It was just so suddenly! His character had a lot going for himself. He was very smart....and I like him and Lizzy's chemistry together. When Eddie walked into the girls' room with that look on his face right after he talked to the DA to grant Reuben immunity, I just knew the news was going to be something bad about Reuben. Who knew that something like this was going to happen. I at least thought Johnny would get the chance to win Lizzy back from the other dude she dumped him for. Now I know she's going to start feeling guilty b/c she didn't get the chance to express how much she truly cared for him. Whomever wrote this episode....I am so disappointed!!!! They could've at least put the boy in a coma...not just kill him off so suddenly!
