Music for my Soul: Cee Lo Green feat Melanie Fiona: Fool for You

Ok here is my story and I am sticking to you . . . was in the car listening to the radio (does not happen often) when I hear this song that I never heard before. The reason why the song caught me was it had such a familiar feel to it that I just had to try and remember what song it was. So I precede to pull out my phone and shazam that sucker lol. After a few seconds I get the name and the artist of the song just to find out it is a version of "Fool For You" (by Cee Lo) that I never heard b4. Now mind you love this song and the familiar feeling was me playing it on repeat whenever it came across my playlist. Moving on, while looking at my Shazam screen I noticed another name there that to my knowledge was not supposed to be on this song and it just happened to be one of my favorite female singers (if not my fav) Melanie Fiona.

So now it is a mad dash to find this version of the song so that I can add it to my collection (yes I get very excitable about music that I like). I go str8 to Amazon and they only have songs that are sung by other people but to the style of it as you can see by following this link . . . http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_33?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=fool+for+you+cee+lo+melanie+fiona&sprefix=fool+for+you+cee+lo+melanie+fiona . . . A bit defeated I head to Youtube just to listen to the song and I come to find out that Cee Lo is giving the song away on his FB page. Yes you can definitely guess what I did next. Now I am just in the office by myself working and grooving to this song.

This song triggers that feeling that I get when I am in love, since I love hard and yes can be a fool when in love, making you do things that may not actually be in your character. It is funny I have only been this deep in love twice so I know and feel where this song is coming from.

Well that is the end of my tirade but before I go a question . . . What are some of the things that love has lead you to do that you may not have done otherwise?

Yeah it is nice to be back sharing with yall oh and b4 I forget so yall can groove too here is the link :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EXclbNuXSc&feature=related (copy and paste lets go). Enjoy the rest of your day and may GOD watch over you all :)!

Blogs based on Music: Jazmine Sullivan: In Love With Someone Else

I decided that I am going to start up doing blogs based on songs that incite me to write something. I was going through some songs over the past week and Jazmine Sullivan: In Love With Someone Else really hit a cord with me.

Before we begin here is a link to the song (or it might be the actual youtube video, first time adding a link lol), listen and let it marinate :).

Now that we have listened and thought on the song, what feelings does this song invoke in you. Well personally this songs hits home for me because I actually went through this once about 6-7 years ago. Man it hurt to hear that even though I was possibly better for her than the dude that she was with she still chose him over me. It was definitely a blow. But you shake it off, because you definitely grow stronger from incidents like this.

Now the reason for this blog is not to bear my soul but to ask a question. Is this situation Love or is it more Lust. Now we all know that Lust lingers for a bit (supposedly) and then fades but Love last for an eternity . . . Also I hear that Love is usually rational and plays out the outcome, while Lust goes after its own selfish desires not caring about who it hurts along the way.

So what are your thoughts is this song telling you a tale of Lust or Love . . . have you ever been in a situation like this if so SHARE :) . . .

Politicking

Man the political game is going crazy right now . . . no matter where you are or who you are you have a stance on what's going on in this country (as you should personally). With all of the different topics that can be discussed (oil prices, this mini depression we are in, War overseas, Osama getting put down, and how could I forget about Trump, etc . . .) there is so much that could be talked about when dealing with politics. So for that reason I leave it you world . . . Pick a politic topic that you would like for me to discuss on here . . . make it good and juicy (LOL). I will definitely pick my favorites each week and write a blog post about it. Come on everyone help a brother out. Lets see what comes from this!

Human Trafficking on Organs: Yes or no: SVU be hitting it :)

This post was inspired by a recent episode of Law and Order SVU. They be bringing those topics. But anyway the episode dealt with buying organs off of the black market. It also posed some very interesting issues on both sides of the coin such as: how do you save your dying child when the only way in which they can get the organ they need is through this black market (The movie John Q comes to mind . . . Love that movie by the way) and how do you choose who is "worthy" of being on the top of the list for donees when your on the administrative side, especially when you have so many people who could possibly die if not treated immediately.

I actually have a friend who is going through this process right now. She is a very strong individual, with her family being a strong security net. My heart and soul goes out to any one who is going through this or has gone through this . . .

Now into the meat of the matter. While I can see both sides and understand where each side is coming from there has to be a right answer or at least an answer that allows less people to die. Personally, if it was my family I would go to the ends of the earth to make sure that they would doing whatever necessary to ensure that they got out of this situation alive (especially if I know that all they need is a _____________ and they would be saved). Why is there even a black market for these parts . . . if there are ppl out there willing to sell these parts why not just readily make them available as long as it is not life threatening or at least provide a way in which they could give it to hospital without any hassle. I know part of it is greed and keeping a corner of the market . . . but come on there are ppls lives at stake because of this . . .

Well enough of my soapbox what are your thoughts on the topic . . . Should we support a black market for this or should we change the system that allows ppl to die just because they are not high up on a list . . . Also suggestions on how we can change this would be greatly appreciated . . . I gave my two cents . . . your turn :)!
