Graffiti – Chris Brown’s Redemption Song
By The Orange Phoenix on December 24, 2009 @ 3:11 am
I’ll say it and I’m not ashamed to either: I listened to Chris Brown’s new album Graffiti and bought it in support of the man’s art. I’m a music lover and I have an ear for quality and for crap and you have to give credit where credit is due — the sh*t is FIRE!!
Alright, before you [...]
Finding Your Way Back On Track
By Urban Thought on December 17, 2009 @ 12:02 pm
After a long night of debauchery I attempted to board the train with one goal in sight: making it home. That is great and in all until you sit down and get comfortable. My eye lids became so heavy, so I ended up putting my head in my lap. Before I knew it, I found [...]

Am I the only one who forgot to vote today? I left out the house and wasn’t reminded to vote until I went through the turnstile. Unlike last year, there wasn’t much advertising done in the neighborhood.

Some conversations cannot be missed when you are in close quarters with people.

Music is as subjective as ice cream, we all have a flavor that resonates with us, whether it’s deep rich chocolate blues or a nutty flavored Amaretto.
I was assigned the task to review Ms. Taylor’s new album and at first I was hesitant — not wanting to say the “wrong” thing, but as I thought [...]

Whether you’re a single person or in a relationship, being friendly or cordial with someone who likes you shouldn’t be a task. However, it can actually be hard to deal with someone on a friendship basis, when they have feelings that go beyond a platonic friendship.
