    I'm baaaaccckkk!

    I've missed Xanga so much! I didn't know that I would be gone that long but I was and I apologize. It seemed like when I left it was only supposed to be for such a short time but apparently not. Rest assured that it won't happen again. I'm back & better than ever, guarantee it.

    So, I bet you all want to know what's been going on for almost three years, right?I'm still trying to look for a steady job. I applied at Petsmart last week. Not the most glamorous job in the world but the pay is nice and so are the benefits. Only problem is I don't have "reliable" transportation so if I don't hear from them I'll know why. My lack of a car, sucks! I'm only six credits away from my A.S. degree. The problem there is lack of funds but hey, who hasn't been there especially when it comes to money. My Gran(mother) was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Diabetes since May 2007. It has been a struggle trying to get her to exercise, keep her from leaving the house and remembering to take her medicine but for the most part,she's hanging in there. She's a tough cookie and I know she'll overcome this so please keep her in your prayers. As for my relationship with Chavis, sadly, it's no more.Yep, after three years of bliss we...well, I decided to part ways with him. It really wasn't mutual but at the same time, it needed to happen. We just wasn't spending time together and this was the main reason why I decided to end things. It's not really fair to him so why should I subject him to that? So, for the time being, I'm single. *sigh* Maybe it's for the best though. Besides,I need to concentrate on other things, like my blog.

    Guess the theme for today...The answer is at the bottom of the page(NO Peeking!):

    Kelly Rowland is re-releasing her album with an all new cover and new tracks to go with it. Her first single "Work" & second single "Comeback" are two songs that will guarantee to get you moving on the dance floor. Please support Kelly on May 13th. Goodness knows she needs it....as well as a new record label.  Still holding out hope for that one.

    Usher's back! Can I get a Yeah?! Okay, yeah....   His first single "Love in this club" is already out. Usher's new album will be released either May 27th and it will feature guest appearances by Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, Beyonce' & Jay-Z and many more artists. For the "Grown and Sexy" in all of us. Will this album top "Confessions"? It's too early to tell but I can't wait to see what he has in store for us.

    Ashlee is back! She's coming out with her third solo cd "Bittersweet World" on April 22nd and her first single "Outta My Head(Ay Ya Ya) is already out and on the charts. It sounds a little like Madonna meets Gwen Stefani. Maybe that's why I love it so much because Gwen did that with "Wind Up." She brought a fresh sound and a weird video to it but she made it work and that's what Ash is doing. Her second single "Little Miss Obsessive" is already on "ITunes" go download it and be sure to check out her on Sunday as she performs that song @8:30pm on Nick. She will also be on Jay Leno on Monday, "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday & Ellen on Wednedsay.

    Ahh, Mimi....MC....Mariah....Hot Tamale

    Whatever you choose to call her, don't forget to include Superstar because that's exactly what she is. MC is back and better than ever with her brand new album featuring her Number #1 single "Touch My Body" & her second single "ByeBye." Is it just me or does Mariah have a Diana Ross/Aretha Franklin look for this cover? Maybe it's just me I guess.... Go get the album it was released on Tuesday and critics are predicting 500K in the first week. If that's true, or even close to being true, wow!

    Danity Kane is clearly showing their counterparts Day 26 who the reigns supreme as far as MTB is concerned. They have appeared everywhere in support of their album "Welcome to the Dollhouse." Their hit single "Damaged" has blown up the charts and they are only getting stronger. If you haven't checked out the video(how can you NOT?) it's available everywhere so go look at it and while you're at it, go pick up the album too.

    Okay, so did anyone guess what today's theme was?*drum roll please*......Comebacks! For those who got it right, here's your gold star.

    Okay,let's have a little fun. Humor me. I've listed 20 questions and I would love to have your feedback on them, pretty please & thank you.

    20 Questions:

    1) Which is the better 'shoe' song: Nelly's "Air Force Ones" or The Pack's "Vans"?

    2) Which 'candy' song is better? Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" & D4L "Laffy Taffy"

    3)Better 'girl' song?Lil Mama's "Lipgloss" or Kid Sister "Pro Nails"

    4)Who told Heidi Montag she was a superstar...and relevant?

    5)Why can't real artists like: Anastacia, Heather Headley,Teedra Moses and Tamia get the respect they deserve?

    6)What's your favorite new tv show?

    7) Does anyone still watch Flavor of Love? If so, WHY? Just kidding

    8) Can someone please tell Steve Carrell just because he looks similar to Don Adams that doen't mean that he should? Speaking of which, who told him & Anne Hathaway that this pairing was a good idea in the first place?

    9)Why are X-Files coming out with a movie?For that matter, why is Sex in the City?

    10)Which song is more annoying, Soulja Boy's "Crank That" or his new single "Yahhh!"?

    13)Why are the grossest foods the healthiest?

    14)Who's 'nastier' Lil' Kim, Khia or the latest freak, Riskay? Yes, that's her stage name & that's how she spells it.

    15)Does anyone still listen to the radio?

    16)Who is the most successful AI contestant? Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry or Carrie Underwood?

    17)Is Leona Lewis the new Mariah Carey?

    18)Are you making the switch from Analog to Digital? Why or why not?

    19)Does anyone else think that Leodis McKlevin is a strange name?

    20)Final question, what's your favorite website?

    (Now to my knowledge, I don't think anyone else has asked these questions but if they have I apologize.)

    Well, that's it for today. I'll be back either tommorrow or Sunday.... Lots of playoff sports action so you know where I'll be this weekend....in front of the tv.  I hope you enjoyed my blog. If not, then make some suggestions as to what needs to be improved. Looking forward to hearing from (someone) soon.

    Peace & blessings,

  • Aaaahh

    You see, I am not American (do I write like one?haha)

    So basically I cannot vote but yes this year's contestants are loaded with talent!!

    I wish all of them could win but we all know there is only one winner

    But of course, and obviously, Jason Castro is too hot to resist!

    I love it when he smiles!!

  • I see your point about it technically being a "singing competition"... but if people actually cared about the singing on the show, the albums put out by the winners/finalists would consistently dominate the charts.  Compare Idol  winners to X-Factor (UK) winners in terms of album sales.  So to me, it's just for entertainment.  And part of being entertained is to look at beautiful people, or those with compelling stories that you want to root for, like Brooke White.  Honestly, what was compelling about David Hernandez?  Zzzzzzzzz....

    With Michael Johns out of the competition, I think David Archuletta is going to walk away with it.  His whole "aww shucks" shtick is starting to wear thin with me, but America loves him.  The rest of the top 6 don't stand a chance against him.  Smithson, maybe, but she doesn't have the appeal of Archuletta.  David Cook is too predictable.  It's not that hard to "emo" up or "corporate-rock" up any song in any genre.  He's just ripping off what people have already done and taking the credit for him.  Simon has called him out on it a couple of times.  Then he tried to overcompensate by being humbled last week.  Will America see right through it?  Who knows.  All I care is that it delivers in the entertainment factor until scripted TV comes back. 

    Sorry to hear about your grandmother.

  • thx 4 commenting. im a lil' overwhelmed coz its the frist time someone else has actually left a comment. thx. lol

    well. i surely have watched all 9 seasons of Top Model and currently watching the 10th.
    My fav. of this season is Kat. I love her look so much especially her look in the not-so-emo shoot. lol. but i am sure shes not wining coz beautiful girls just dont win except Yoanna (spelling). Fatima is gorgeous. but I dont like her. Whitney is fine. but shes too arrogant from time to time. Lauren is difinitely being eliminated for her walk soon. Anya .. i think shell probably be the winner coz she is doing too well not to win. and dominque would be top 3 i guess. coz there is always a less-modely one be one of the top 3. and i somehow find resemblence between dominque and Renee and Gwen Stefani in Early Winter . lol she is fine to me. i dont understand the hates.

    Idol is a bit different. I aint a long term friend. I watched Season 2. and Love Kelly Clarkson Carrie and Jordon. and I am watching the latest one now. David "Archulala" wtava I dont know how to spell is great. and I love Syeshia... I think they will make a cute couple. lol.

    For Betty, I am not so into the idea of Daniel and Betty get together.. but I think the Gio and Henry thingy isnt much interesting. lol. I am more interested in Marc and Amanda. They are my favourite in the show. And I LOVE Rebecca Romijn as Alexis. thou bad she is, I love how she look. horse face .. lol

    btw, I have all Bittersweet World, E=MC2, Welcome to the Dollhouse in my computer. but they just aint appealing enough to make me listen to the whole album. but Touch My Body is cool. Outa my World is a bit weird to me and Ashlee seems sucked at singing live for Miss Little Obsessive. lol

    And Danity Kane. havnet even heard of a track.

    Thanks for the comment again.

    Good Luck

    Derek

  • Jesssiccaaaa!! Omg welcome back to Xanga my Passions/ Entertainment guru buddy. Omg sorry I haven't written to you for a long time, I was super busy with school, well i still am but yeah haha.. i just need to write you a xanga comment to tell you that I haven't forgot ya hahaha... It was very interesting because once or twice I'll check your xanga site, and i'm like wow.. I haven't heard from Jess for a long long time.. I'm glad that you are back, and you are better than ever. It has been 3 years, but its cool.. I still remember those days that we used to comment each other on Passions, i don't watch it anymore because if Direct TV, but i find myself from time to time, looking at the spoilers... haha.. some of the storylines are soo pointless, but what can you do.. I saw that Theresa and Ethan were together, and then Gwen came back, with a baby or something.. I was like oh man... sigh.. and then there was Vincent, I heard that in real life he is pregnant? And then Chad died, I never really like Chad hahaa.. I mean the new one, I liked the old one he was soo much better. Omg yay I have my music guru back.. I love your section on music.. i've heard Mariah Carey and she is just awesome.. her tracks are good.. I love Chris Brown too.. though his sophmore album is too poppy, but I still like Wall 2 Wall, i wish he had more love songs he is pretty good on that.. I can't wait to hear Usher's album.. that's soo cute he has a son now named Usher, passing on the name that' s cool.


    Day 26 and One Chance are pretty good too.. I've heard the Danity Kane album I think there was like one song that I like, but i thought there album cover was pretty sexy, and seductive. Donnie J is pretty good too.. Hm.. yeah, it seems like forever that I've heard on the radio.. but I always love T-Pain hehe =)


    As for Nip Tuck, oh my god my friend got me hooked on it.. and i just finished the 5th season, in like a week when I was supposed to be doing homework. Boo hoo shame on me hahaha.. lol but that's what Nip Tuck does.. its soo tempting and addictive that it makes you do crazy things like, not doing homework. hahaa.. but I love julian mcmahon he is soo cute hahaha..!!! i love the cast, because yeah.. man they play their parts really well.. love to hate characters.. oh if you want to catch up on the 5th season, they show it on this website.. i'll send it to you if you want.. I can't think about it on the top of my head because I'm at school..


    But as for me, I'm doing alright.. i'm three years older hahaha.. lol but I'm liking every minute of it.. I graduated at State, and then got my B.A. in theatre arts, and then going back to Community college to do a backup =) I'm taking a bunch of fun classes, but I'm getting super lazy especially around this time. I've met cool people though.. always meeting cool people that's always a good thing.. and then I'll see a couple of familiar faces, and that's all always good.. as for my love life, nope nada.. hahaha.. but I can always look, but not touch.. lol I'm just kidding! I'm not worried about that though, I'm pretty content for now =) Well i have to go now, going to do some reading.. keep me posted eh? do you happen to have facebook or myspace? Miss you lots Jess!
