1977

Now I am not a huge Dream fan but his latest mix tape is "MUSIC." I have listened to it over and over again. My fave track so far is "Wake Me When Its Over."

The name of the mix tape is called 1977.

The link is: http://www.radiokillarecords.com/

I suggest you download it.

Even if you are not a Dream fan, just give it a try. Or listen to the lyrics.

I can hear his effort, his passion, his skill on this mix tape. Honestly gained respect for him as an artist.

But I wish albums measured up to mix tapes...

Things you should try if you haven't....

listen to "She Will" by Lil Wayne, Drake and Rick Ross while looking in the mirror getting dressed/undressed. Something about that beat makes feel all devilish and sexy....

CenterCourt Pizza. Only locations are in Pearland and Missouri City but...its so good!

Fist Pumping all night, equivalent to doing a 6 sets of arm curls in the gym.

Saying "Gyming" instead of "working out." Folks look at me crazy but I'm over saying working out.

Having a dance session in the middle of the street downtown, but sober.

quality reality tv: The A List: New York season 1&2. Just go to logotv.com

hawaiian sandwich bread, makes my plain turkey sandwiches so much more enjoyable

grocery shopping night. they restock the shelves, bakes goods get slashed to like a dollar and its quiet.

Twitter.

Getting rid of negative people. Breath of fresh air and a weight lifted.

don't blink

Shoutout to @LoveAlexandria for the peer pressure.
I joined tumblr like millions of other Americans.
Link to the right. But for those that don't want to look....

Something else for me to add to my daily tasks. lol. yea

Anyways.....

I have been having short conversations with a particular person on twitter. Would you know he holds my interest than some who I can actually touch and smell? Well, he's currently overseas so our convos have been limited to the 140 character limit. But now because of a great hustle, lol, I will be getting a blackberry shipped to me in the mail. So we can bbm as he suggested.

At first I tried to just go buy a blackberry. But then I realized, remembered, I hate blackberry phones. Then AT&T was going to charge me an arm and leg. So like hundreds of dollars for a month. umm no.

But he did offer to "send some dollars" because he wants to talk more. Love the offer but pride won't allow.

But he is showing mad effort, interest.

oh....and don't jump off any cliffs lol. have a great night

Another use for my mirror...

So my homegirl, Ladi L aka Miss Dallas (twitter: @MissDallas09), is booking performances like crazy. She is a certified rap artist. Next to blow out of Texas.



Guess who she asked to be her hypeman......yep....me. Hilarious? yes. Real? yes.



My first time onstage with her was last Sunday at the Los Magnificos Car Show. Talk about nerves and butterflies. Whew, how do performers do it night after night, I don't know. Your judges are right in front of you, judging lol.



She did great, of course! I froze a little in the beginning. Well alot. Claimed my spot top left part of the stage. Then I got more comfortable, followed her lead, interacted with the crowd.



Not as easy as anyone makes it look. Big to small artist.



Your job is to support the artist, get the crowd involved and excited, not embarass the artist either.



I knew for sure she was going hit me with "hey Amber, I think we're going to go a different direction." lol. Nope. Show tomorrow night and Saturday.



Well, all I know is I'm all up in my mirror practicing, cuz the last thing I want to do is mess up her glorious opportunities.



Once again, have a great day!

Sure Thing Now...

Stopped by Lubys to get my mom dinner last night and ran into an author. She freely shared with me knowledge of her wirting process, mistakes to avoid and her previous work. I took it as a sign to stop being scary and nervous. Just dive in. Better to go back and fix things than to just think of what I could do.

I've always wanted to be a writer. I have concepts in my head. I can visually see the characters, I can see them like I know them. I want to put them on paper. Even if only my close friends read them, it will still be an accomplishment.

There is a void amongst African American fiction writiers that I think I can fill.

So, everyday I am dedicating time to write. And I'm excited to see what happens.

Everyone have a good day :)

2009

Someone reminded me of how I was freshman year of college. I was excited about life, the levels in my voice would change frequently, I was happy about being happy, I wanted to discover new things, and watch, and just be me!

That same person talked on the phone with me today and just was so surprised about my tone. How different I sounded. I didn't think it was that bad. I had to explain 2008 was a rough year. Rough of lessons and experiences.

So in 2009 I hope to remember 2002. I hope to discover reasoning in 2009 to feel like I did in 2002. I want that genuine smile back. No reason why I can't :)

The ill Dirty Talk....

So we all have heard of or experienced the act of "Phone Sex." Well, for the first time in my life, I experienced "Dirty Text Messages/Text Message Sex/Clicking Freaky." What would be a cool name for that?

It was weird. Around 3am I recieved some messages from Jermaine the Lame. The basic, "I miss you" "Where are you?".....then it went to a place that I couldn't quite follow.......

.......at first......

It was almost better than phone sex, I mean the anticipation of the next message coming was crazy.

His creative placement of words.

His speedy response.

His ability to text fast.

Then I thought, this is some bad joke, I can't respond.

I must say, those Romance novels I tend to read came in handy.

It was......Something fun...Something random....Something different......

Don't think I could ever initiate an actual text convo......but ooo wee lol

Not really a turn-on but a great game to play. Especially if you around people and you read the text message and all of a sudden you start blushing and giggling....mischief!

Hats off to Jermaine the Lame for opening up a new door, even thou it's not that new. Wonder what's next........
