Fresh Prince

Remember this??

 

 

 

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In West Philadelphia born and raised
... On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
First class yo this is bad
Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air live like
Hmmm this might be all right

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat
I don't think so I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well uh the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude looked like a cop standin' there with my name out
I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said "Fresh", and had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah forget it, yo home to Bel-Air!

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo Holmes, smell ya later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air

To the Moon

What music would you listen to en route to the moon?

Gimme Sympathy

Helllo lovies!!

New song obsession! .....I really should make this a regular thing, considering I pretty much have new theme music every week.... I'll work on that.

Any who, this week's song is Gimme Sympathy by Metric. Usually Metric's songs tend to be pretty intense, almost leaning on the metal side of rock, so it's nice to hear their sound on a lighter melody. I absolutely love this song, I know alll of the words and harmonic crescendos and decrescendos along with the subtle dinks and nicks of the vocals. Now, ask my mom or close friends, me knowing every single word isn't entirely depictive of how much I love this song, but let's just say Pandora and I have some pretty nasty fights over what the lyrics ACTUALLY ARE and what she says they are. Pftt... you know, why isn't there an emoticon for rolling your eyes?? If there were, it would be my best friend- unlike you, Pandora! She can irritate me so much, why can't she understand that when I click the thumbs up button, I CLEARLY want her to play the song again? Where's my eye rolling emoticon???!?

The point: check out this song Gimme Sympathy by Metric. You'll be glad you did.
P.S. My favorite lyrics (the chorus) where I turn it up real loud and belt it:

Give me sympathy 
After all this is done,
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?

Got me to thinking, who would I rather be? The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? There's a poll down south, check it out and let me know who you'd rather be.

Trader Joe's Best Kept Secret

Okay all you gluten free goers, here's a treat you don't have to be cautious about endulging in. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Bar candy bar line of all assorted fixes and flavors truely make me smile inside and out! Just one bite of my carmel and black sea salt midnight treat and a melodious explosion was  unleashed [into my otherwise salavating mouth hole]. Wholesome hits of Hawaiian sea salt and captivating carmel danced about my tongue as symphonic notes of well balanced cacoa sent my soul into euphoric meditation. MMM!! Serious- next time your're at Trader Joe's, don't pass this one up!

Enjoy your Daily Dose of yum!

TLC

Mama's latest saying when something is not to her standards, unappealling, gross, nasty or otherwise unsatisfactory...."that needs some love" sometimes if it needs immediate attention or is really bad...."it needs a lot of love".  Mama's goal....to shed love on things even where the love don't shine.

Friday

Happy Friday, m'friends!

If you're like me and are looking to surpass this glorious final weekly work day in the melifluous sounds of my top favs, then listen up.

....Or just read on because it's Friday and you choose to surpass this glorious final weekly work day by mindlessly staring at the computer screne as brain waves periodicly jolt up and down, telling you what insignificant information ...I have to share with you on this relatively insignificant day. I'm fine with that......

(And yes I watched The Big Bang Therory last night- channeling inner Sheldon)

Mm off topic- okay so back to those other waves I was talking about. The ones in which your ear interprets as sound and your brain demes rhythmic. Music, folks! I'm a'talking 'bout the music!

Okay, let me just cut to the chase- do you like remixes, but really only the good ones that aren't all *ntz, ntz, ntz* and messing up your favorite part of the song? Yeah, me too. So here are my favorite remixes that bring some joy into my life on final weekly work days like today.

Enjoy, fellow zombies, enjoy.
