Listening to Blog Xilla’s Free Game Podcast really made me conclude a few things. The first, Influencers are creating while they are experiencing their own life struggles and working through relationships with people in their personal and professional lives. Blog Xilla shares a few struggles he experienced before being hired at Global Grind. He talks candidly about being homeless without food, quitting a job at GE, his failed relationship with his Baby Mama and how he built his Blogging Rep...

Shadow & Act Contributor, Tonja Renee Stidhum seems to be yearning for more representation for little Black Girls. Representation Matters is a hashtag that was recently discussed on the Identity Politics Podcast before Fashion Blogger Leah Vernon came on for a discussion and the talking point really got my attention. My understanding is, the hashtag is used to refer to the rarity of seeing Black Actors and Actresses on screen, not only the Big Screen but the small one too. The hashtag #Repres...

There is so much advice on how to save money when you are ready for some R and R or quality time with family and friends.

The buzz has been happening since early August and Makeup Shayla even posted a 14 minute video telling all about the mascaras and the mini eye palette baring her name. One of my favorite photos from the campaign is shown above. In it Makeup Shayla is wearing the Poppin Purple Mascara from the Colossal Big Shot Collection, a color that is likely to be my favorite since I love purple, just like Makeup Shayla. I tried the Boomin In Blue Mascara, another shade from the coll...

Angela Bassett joined American Horror Story and it made me want to watch the creepy show, even though the laughs did not add up like or even come close to the crazy, hilarious laughs I had when I watched A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. The Actress is proving that poor health is no laughing matter. Basset joined the For My Sweetheart Campaign earlier this year to use her Celebrity Voice to encourage us all to recognize risk factors and the link between type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Dis...

Measuring analytical data that tells us how we are performing is something that I really have not been concerned about since I started Abornewords simply because getting trapped into a cycle of watching numbers is really a slippery slope which can affect creativity and guide Content Marketing in unusual directions. Then, the content becomes more about numbers and less about doing what we love. Unless sales are involved, there is really no need to watch analytical data. I just do what feels ri...

Pilates is something that I got into after finding some Gaiam VHS Tapes up for sale at a local Thrift Shop and since I had a 19" TV with a VHS Tape Deck, I decided this was a deal I could not pass up. Since I had the tapes and was also looking for ways to workout at home, I put one into the tape deck and it was on from there. I had did some research prior and knew that pilates could strengthen my core and also that it had been used by Soilders as a healing process. Jessica Smith has a 30 minu...

A lot of Rappers create their Rap Names by including part of another Rappers name in theirs, in sound or even spelling. There can be many reasons for it and we are guessing it has a lot to do with being inspired, competing or just plain name jacking to get attention. You may be thinking, what about Rappers like Kevin Gates who are really using their own name or parts of it? Well, New Orleans Rapper YE Law is doing just that with a least part of his name. YE is annunciated just as it is writte...

While Nice Gunz is focused on dropping his Triggerz Got No Heart 2 Mixtape, he seems to be gradually putting the pieces of his life back together, after his breakup with longtime girlfriend Lexi.

It's always an exciting time for Artist/Creators in general who are releasing new material for their fans because a lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into the process before the finished product is released.

Locally here in good old Melbourne, the 5th Annual French Film Festival kicked off today so I got dressed up in my jeans and slipped into my love and let live blouse and slipped on my Z Sandals and headed out to see what all the fuss was about. It's always fun getting dressed up and since I had not been anywhere since I attended the Trump rally, I was pumped. In the video below, Stylist Dawn Del Russo features some pretty cool looks, giving us lots of ideas on how to pair our favorite sneaker...

Coco & Breezy seem to have it all figured out, launching their line of sunglasses and having big name Celebrities sing their praises is what got them into Essence Magazine. when we shared them a few years ago, a lot of it had to do with the way they carried themselves and the fact that they sort of came from nothing to something. Oh and me being a Gemini sort of sealed the deal too! Since I worked for Winn Dixie for about four years and I also know my way aroun...

Halal Marketing Enterprises LLC is all about connecting people, products and services and the brand is living up to its tagline in their latest venture called The Sharing The Legacy Campaign.

When I am brainstorming about topics to include on Abornewords, I am often not writing anything down but pondering how to make the content more informative, more beneficial, and even more creative., especially when I reshare it.

Gladiator Sandals are often called "The Shoes Of The Romans".

The Ruby Wedge Sandal offers something extra in that wedge, when height and a more comfortable and controlled s...

We are asking you to save your laughter about what Lailah Muhammad is doing  in the video and think a little deeper for a moment or at least until you finish reading this  Blog Post.

Add to her credit News Anchor and Professor and you will easily realize that she can do more than pop, twist, turn and shoulder check us with neck a...

While everyone is envying Rapper Trina ("The Baddest Bish") for keeping her ear to the street while doing shows, Ayo PrincezZ just keeps putting out that good, showing just how much of a tough nugget she can be in this male dominated Rap Game. You have to just know love when you hear it and this song has a lot of love in it for the Tupac California Audience. You may have to listen intently to catch it but do so and you will hear the love.

The fact that I grew up in New Orleans and also attended a multicultural college and not an HBC has worked to my advantage tremendously, career wise and socially because I relate to all types of people. I am not an extrovert who is totally a social scene butterfly and I might not strike up a random conversation with a stranger. However, in the right setting I flourish. I usually strive at work and keep my productivity up, making contributions more meaningful wherever I can. I love to talk sho...

For the longest time or at least ever since Jay Z and Beyonce put their Golden Celebrity Touch on Tupac' s Bonnie & Clyde, they have become Hip-Hops Bonnie & Clyde and we have gotten use to referring to them as such. Things are changing in the Celebrity World and that means things are changing for us regular folks too since they are our opinion leaders.

Before I ever received an invitation to try and qualify for The Replenish Trial being offered by Accelovance, Inc. in my home city of Melbourne, Fl., I had shared content about The Hot Girls Peals which is the brainchild of Constance Sherman because being aware of resources is the first step in getting what you need to address an area of concern or solve a problem. More recently, I did some research on being an egg donor because I am still very fertile and found out a lot more about what Egg ...

It's not over for all of us who want a real keyboard on our phones and not the digital one that just pops up when we are ready to text. So what if we have a slightly smaller screen, our viewing pleasure will not be affected one bit.

We told you all about how the BlackberryPassport was good for the working professional and how it probably was more fit for a certain type of consumer. Now, we are sharing the latest news an...

This year, we didn't have to look far to count our blessings in my home. The Thanksgiving meal was more than enough to confirm that we had lots to be thankful for. Turkey and dressing always end up being the food items that we eat most and the ones that are most popular in my home. Butterball Turkey is usually what I choose to prepare on Thanksgiving, when my budget permits....

There is this new thing now and according to many trendsetters we should all have one if we are getting our nails done or doing them ourselves. It is called a Manicure Playlist! Later in this post, we will share our favorite songs from a list created by an Oxygen Blogger but first let's find out a little more about Adrienne Bailon and how she ties into this new Manicure Playlist.

Just because Adrienne Bailon is a Style Contibutor for OK Magazine does not mean she is our go to girl for style t...

"To make a big decision we must not only listen to others but be heard, we must not only ask the right questions but know how to answer them quickly too. To make a big decision, you need to understand every point of view while never doubting your own"

That quote is only a fraction of the most informative and inspirational advertisement I have seen lately for the Blackberry Passport. We don't carry these in store at Best Buy or at Best Buy Mobile. Can anyone tell me why these fell off in the fi...

As the spotlight shines on Sony's Attachable Lens Style Camera, for it's ability to attach to the Smartphone, there is still much to appreciate about Laptop Computers. Remember the days when, big bulky PC's were our everything and Laptops were not as widely used, by us regular folks. In fact, I remember marveling at Insurance Agents who often used them for record keeping and payments for their clients. They'd drive up in their nice Lincoln Car, park, and set their feet on the ground, as they ...

Things are really changing with the Customer Experience and no stone is sitting idol on the ground. Retailers are looking everywhere and seeking out different resources and ways to wow customers. Thinking Apple Pay? Well, more efficient ways to pay are not all that's in store for us!

Apparently, we have some futuristic thinkers who are having visions of what Retail will be like in the future. They are thinking: Talking Shelves and manicures and pedicures at the Drugstore. I believe one Walgree...

Tech is not only big when new products hit the market, it's big all the time! It would be ideal if every time new products were released, we all went out at the same time and made purchases immediately. However, usually it does not happen that way. We don't all adopt technology trends at the same time. Everyone is not going to find it necessary to jump on a trend immediately or necessarily have the resources to do so.

What will remain unchanged is consistent competition, as long as brands con...

Nice Gunz made it clear that he loved New Balance Sneakers, stating their affordability as one of the reasons he gravitated toward the brand. The bold N symbol probably influenced his choice, just a bit. Afterall, he has been called Nice since he was an infant, by family and friends.

The new Air Jordan's XX9's may give the New Orleans Rapper a reason to look away from his favorite New Balance Sneakers.

This past weekend, the larger than life Air Jordan Brand, hit stores everywhere. Sneakerhead...

Technology, beauty, and music will always be at the center of our focal point. Still, entertainment comes in different forms. The point is to enjoy yourself no matter what you are doing.

When they do, we still can not help but squeeze in summer here in the Sunshine State! With Summer in mind, we want to show you...

Lady Dahlia is known for here great brows and for being super raw and gutter when it comes to her image, photos and videos. Two months ago and almost one thousand views ago, she released a video for her song called Bad B**** featuring Clockwork Pumpkin Bad, and we couldn't help but give her a thumbs up on Abornewords. It took us a while but finally we are getting around to giving a permanent spot in our archive.

Lady Dahlia and her girl pal were being extra vulgar, shooting birds and talking ...

Hopefully that video has gotten you ready for our share on natural hair and how great it can be to wear your natural mane, and how you can easily go from natural to straight.

There is an awful stigma associated with natural hair for a lot of women of color. The first word to come out of the mouth of women who love processed hair or those who have grown accustomed to their straight hair look is nappy! Not coiled, not curly, not kinky, not course but nappy y'all. It's really unfortunate that suc...

Okay so now that we are preparing ourselves for the reruns of the B.E.T. Awards, it may be an ideal time to focus on what beverages you like to drink when you are enjoying your favorite award shows. We are not encouraging anyone to be couch potatoes or to snack and drink uncontrollably. Still, think about this!

Every now and then we need an escape, a getaway, or should I just say some time for urselves. Since a getaway does not have to necessarily mean traveling or leaving home, why not choose a favorite indulgence to get youinto a state of calm and relaxation, I thought. That's why I started listening to DJ Black N Milds R.I.P Podcast.

This should take you through the weekend and into your Monday, reminiscing on all that good, good. Warning! After about 10 minutes of his groove, you will be just ri...

For learning purposes only! This pic may look a little scary to the unaided eye. With no 3D glasses (lol) or some odd spin on these stinging little insects, all we really have to appreciate is the honey that somehow makes it into our pantries. There is something else besides BNicolDaReasons verge of scary to marvel at if you are in line for a good book though. Maybe you just want to take an imaginary ride for a bit. Well, whatever the case may be, I'm sure you will find this fascinating. A bo...

In the video Schoolboy Q is supporting 50 Cent's Project Animal Ambition which should be on shelves now. Purchase yours for your listening pleasure.

Schoolboy Q's support of 50 Cent is what made us want to explore him and his music a little more. Do y'all see how rough around the edges he looks and what is he doing with his beard? After seeing our Rick Ross post, you should be laughing out loud right now. His collaboration with 50 Cent on Flip On You is all good, but we did a little research ...

Look at how the little darling poses with her daddy, as the camera goes snap.

Wild Wayne recently updated his website via Q93, and also has a foundation (The Benjamin Foundation) geared toward helping youth...

Though we are absolutely crazy about Bella Thorn's red, wavy hairdo in her new movie Blended and equally excited that the writers are giving face to a real issue many Fathers and girls face, in what can be characterized as a proportionate dynamic between a Father who has no sons and a girl who has to grow up in a house full of boys, we still want to share some other movies that are coming in the month on June. Before we do, check out the trailer to this exciting new film that includes some Te...

Vivid Entertainment conveniently named the Sex Tape created by the Reality TV Stars, Nikko & Mimi Scandal In Atlanta, leading everyone to believe that adversity would or more clearly should follow. Really, the choice to do so, directs the thoughts of the consumer, since it is very suggestive. A brilliant move is all I can call it, certainly the job of a true Salesman or Marketing Genius, on the promotion side. Creating the anticipation with words and addi...

Kelis was there, right in Coachella, wearing her feast cooking gear with tongs in hand. Where there is Kelis, there is Food. The Songstress/Chef is becoming synonymous with food. Today she attended an event sponsored by Flaunt Magazine & Siwy presenting Virgin Sacrifices.

Forgive me, why am I suddenly thinking forbidden territory? In this modern day, scripture text does not support sacrifices, at least not openly.

Yes, I know this may be the name of a group but my intention was just to let you...

Sneaker heads are always following the latest trends on what is hot and trending for the feet. No we are not talking about Lady Dahlia's Sneaker Addiction either. Still, somehow Jordan's are always on the radar somewhere between dunks and the sale of Michael Jordan's Manion. Then, we are left with that picture in our mind cloud, of Jordan performing some seemingly impossible athletic feat with his tongue hanging out, to the left. Not this time though; we are going to give you something else t...

There are those who will tell you that tragedy can bring you closer to God. Others will say faith is something that you either accept or reject. Reminding you of these two facts is one way to ease into the topic of Repentance. Asking for forgiveness is always the right thing to do.  After seeing Repentance in action, in the trailer below, you will have to decide if it's right for you.

It’s like nothing I’ve seen her star in before. A Horror Thriller is nothing like Something New. Looking ...

You don't have to be drunk to do a pose like that but I'm guessing it will help. Ouch! If you are gasping right now you should be! Yes it is very difficult to do a crab.

Finding yourself asking who? If the headline didn't give it away, Rihanna & Rosci of course. THINK ABOUT THIS! Ang...

Looking relaxed as he brings in his 21st Birthday, he could have chosen to have a few shots of alcohol. Instead of choosing headshots and a hangover, he decided to mark his Right of Passage to adulthood with something a little more positive.

Since he has dedicated so much of his time and effort into staying connected to God, it seems like a natural l progression directly in line with the pulpi...

The Nola Awards look huge and glamorous enough for the Big Stars up to receive them! Showing off their talent, holding mics, flowing verses, earfuls of mixes, hustlers on the grind, those grinding to a beat, and comedians, all have a chance to take home the gold and black.

The Soulja Slim Award Presentation may be the most coveted award of the night. It will undoubtedly be the highlight of the night for fans, friends, and family. GI Peachez even released photos from The Soulja Slim Birthday C...

New Orleans Rapper Killa Kash Santana has been doing his thing for a while now, so we were not surprised to find the likable video called Flight Nights & Morning floating around on the Internet. In it Kash Santana starts off with a chant like punchline "I'm bout to kill 'em all, why let 'em breathe, track murderer industry money scheme" then he goes into his verses with ease. Pictured alone sitting atop a freezer, he claims his mission is to rape the music game. His goal does not seem like a...

He's known for his relationship advice and smooth style used in Blogger Chatter to relate to his Sexual Intellectuals on Married 2 the Blog. Look how BlogXilla put his words into action a skip back when he was rockin' long braids, a workmans flannel shirt, and a pair of Tims (not shown here).

Even though BlogXilla has no problem showing off his swag while interviewing hot Celebs of today, he can also bring out the crazy from time to time. Here's what I mean. When a holla turns into roman...

Dress To Kill (help from Glamour)

For some reason I always think rich and understated, when I see overalls. My Dad loves overalls; he wears them often. Seeing them styled, by Dawn Del Russo and Corey Parker, certainly makes them seem more fun and interesting. What a way to intensify the pressure of this fashion challenge.

Dawn Del Russo and Corey Parker got a lot of negative feedback on the shoes because of the event location. The judges believed the look of the models should have been mor...

We are raising our children at time With so many reality Shows making it into our livingrooms everyday, sometimes it is to easy to forget about the classics. The classics are the shows that we grew up on, the ones that never seem to get old, the shows with characters that come alive on screen to tell a story, provide a message, or help us to remember how important it is to be humble.

Picking out favorites is difficult when there are so many talented actors and actresses to watch. However, he...

There is a lot of shine beaming from the buzz of Vera Wang Sunglasses. In fact, Elle featured the Avatea Sunglasses highlighting their translucent, rounded heptagon shaped frames. Translucent frames are a very versatile item. Pair them with casual attire or dress up with blazers and shoes. The black lenses created the mystery for the Vera Wangs translucent frames. You can't go wrong with the right pair of sunglasses. We found a pair of animal print Vera Wang Sunglasses...

First encounters with new information or a new resource used for gaining knowledge is almost like a first impression. You will never forget your first time! That connection with something fresh and new can't be overlooked very easily. Such an encounter happened to me just recently not with a person or new clothes, but with resources. The local library in my area happens to stock loads of BOT (books on tape). Sure it seems to have been around forever, except I had never tried it. Since that's ...

Wendy Williams, her shoe collection, and her big personality entered our lives from radio, giving us the visuals to match the voice that we have easily grown fond of. "How you doin" is a phrase that I am personally familiar with hearing often in the city of New Orleans. It is a greeting that is said on the regular by most local residents of the city, a part of the New Orleans vernacular that welcomes a culture full of hospitality. With Wendy's help, the phrase has grown into something, right...

No matter how much time passes before we hear media coverage about Kelis Rogers, we are always up for the scoop on her latest moves. Kelis opened up to Lauren Laverne about how she approached the creative process, revealing something about her sleeping patterns which may actually be the secret behind her very chiseled face.

Good looking Celebs are always accused of getting little tweaks that preserve their youth. We have not heard any rumors about Kelis yet; she just always looks so stunning...

After hearing Kanye West perform on SNL (Saturday Night Live) it's obvious that he is ready to give all of himself to his new project. Huffington Rost reported recently that the whold album is already finished and since Kanye has been dropping single after single, we believe it's true.

Ahh That Jonah Laugh includes the names of 6 well known Celebrities and I'm so proud of the spoken word presentation. Not having production for it does not take away it's brilliant punch.

Our favorite drama filled Reality Tv Show, Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta is back in full effect. It's not lacking any of the breathtaking drama that we have grown use to from the first season either. We are still gasping at all of the craziness. Although he shows Producers have added in a couple of extras, it doesn't distract our attention from our favorites.

We told you already that females would be taking sides and we were right. The drama between Mimi Faust and Joselyn Hernandez is as thick as ev...

It is not surprising that Angelina Jolie did such a wonderful thing (having a double mastectomy) with intentions of protecting her children and family life with long time partner Brad Pitt. The shocking share is that the news about her carrying a faulty mutation of the BRCA 1 Gene, making her more prone to certain cancers, was kept hush hush until recently.

Celebrities with Star Power like Angelina Jolie usually has trouble keeping all things about their lives private and under wraps for too l...

There always those girls out there that seem to be on the prowl, seeking out Ballers to provide the finer things of life. I decided to put a twist on the way I acknowledge their worth, showing love and shouting out all the true bosses in the game. No names and no blame. I do care enough to speak up for what's in my best interest. That's sort of what my acapella lyrical rendition is about. If it is about more than music to you, then, music is truly serving its purpose.

When Jay-Z and Kanye Wes...

Does color really matter in the dating game? That is a touchy subject for more reasons than one, depending on who you ask and also their background. Guys are often the target of much of the backlash associated with Interracial Dating because of the way the media portrays the responses of black women to the idea of the Willis and Helen (The Jeffersons) match. Guys and females need to hear words like this if they are going to ever be able to just enjoy love.

Making homemade desserts is the down home way to create yummy sweet treats for the whole family. Except, who has time to turn into Martha Stewart at every dinner?

Late Night Life is a song that has the potential to change lives! It lines are jammed packed with the real lifestyle wisdom, reflecting situations many couples will appreciate once all the verses come out in the voice of someone who takes Rap and the lifestyle struggles of love and friendship seriously.

It's an extra special song teaser. A taste of what's to come in a song full of so much diversity. Huh! Listening to this teaser makes you wonder about the hook and the rest of the song.

Versatile fashion choices are a must for women on the move. We are at our best and thrive to meet lifes challenges when our look and hair game is on point.

More and more everyone is getting in on the social buzz and creating a presence on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to stay in touch with fans and brand loyal consumers. Companies are finding out slowly but surely that keeping up with the times means doing things a little differently with advertisements and promotion, via internet. Take a look at this comical portrayal of parents who seem to be bent on keeping their child away from the computer and turning the pages of real b...

In Hollywood, you will often hear the phrase, appearance is everything. It kind of makes you think immediately about the beauty of actors and actresses. All things superficial of course, but we must give face to the truth. Exterior beauty often triumphs real talent in Hollywood. Being the whole package includes so much more than physical features. Everything surrounding you and in your life counts as something that can define your image. It's not exclusive to Movie Stars either, we all are ...

The power of the pretty, a little goes a long way, and gloss it up for fun at night are all sayings that every woman can identify with in front of their bathroom mirror or vanity table.

Talk about taking work seriously! Well may of the real workaholics are so dedicated that home ends up being where a second work shift starts. Remember when I shared information about Fiats new plan to create a new model Fiat 500 called Fiat 500L? Well, I never identified the gentleman wearing the blue blazer in the photo. Standing there repping Fiat, posted up against the trunk of the car is none other than Lapo Elkann. He's the guy with ties to the brand who is taking an active role in reb...

The thrill of visiting theme parks is something that will never get old. All the activity going on in one place probably is the reason why a trip to Legoland seems like a new adventure every time. Theme Parks are always introducing the next big attraction too.

More and More women are stepping out of the ancient traditional roles of being in kitchens serving their men and the rest of the family. Now, the modern working women are not only in the office working, they are testing their hand at entrepreneurship, becoming their own boss.

In the spirit of celebrating and supporting women as they a...

A blossom represents a transformation and flowers often come to mind before anyone thinks of personal growth or moving from one state of being to another when thinking of butterflies . The movie, Black Butterflies is not for closed minds. The character Ingrid Jonker played by Carice Van Houten is much to complicated to settle for partial attitudes. The synopsis explains a character who has compassion for others and one who is desperately searching for acceptance from her father and love fr...

It is hard for some color critics to get useto the idea of seeing darker skin ladies wearing shade of pink. The softness of the color should change their mind because pairing it with dark colors or dark skin really evens it out, creating a balanced look. It does not matter if it's a pink top, pink skirt, or pink pants. The critics find something wrong with coordinating pink with dark skin. I love the color pink and do not see anything wrong with the pink against my deep brown skin. Take a l...

I couldn't help but blush when I first heard Michelle Obama's interview with Topanga Sena, a kid interviewer. Her school girl charm seemed to shine through with every word, as she spoke with Sena. The interview was conducted as part of all the confetti celebration that went along with the second anniversary of Let's Move, Michelle Obama's initiative program is aimed at combating childhood obesity by instilling healthy values that encourage good eating habits and exercise.

Serums have more active ingredients than most lotions or mositurizer creams, and their effectiveness can make a world of difference in your overall appearance.

CMF (Certified Music Family) knows just what they are up against. They are not afraid to stunt on a track or two while repping their hood, expressing lyrics that share those urban values that impoverished youth can relate to.

Special occasions are times that we look forward to with increasing anticipation. Birthdays, holidays, and anniversaires carry so much sentimental value. That's why each year the element of surprise becomes more important. How much you spend is not a significant factor, unless somehow you are feeling like you want to show off. Great gifts don't have to break the bank. The proof will be evident before you finish this read, guaranteed. Figuring out a new way to celebrat, so that we can see th...

The boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit from cold to bubbling, so let's put that hot into perspective. As we think of the different degrees of Kanye's hot, we will try to keep it chilly. It's been a long time coming, but someone has to set the game straight by mentioning that Kanye's lyrics show his concern and consideration for others. When the Chi-Town Rapper dropped College Drop Out, he put music and lyrics to a situation that many college students may find themselves facing at some ...

Marcy, Rocawear, and his executive mind. Respect is due to Mr. Shawn Corey Carter. He collaborated and almost single handedly built the RocaWear Brand, by using a business model that made everyone feel like family. Wearing the brand is really only an after thought when you consider how he possed up the RocaWear Clan and the diversity of creativity to give everyone at shot a making it big. All of the RocaWear Stars are the reason everyone is still throwing up the Roc Sign. Make no mistake ab...

Amber Rose is doing something new, making music. Labeled as arm candy by many industry head honchos, Amber doesn't seem to mind living up to the title. She appears in public flawless, fabulous, and fashionable while the paps just play snap snap with their camera toys. Rose's song Fame hit the internet and really has taken us by storm. Fame is quickly reaching the 800,000 mark on You Tube. That is a heck of a number from someone who has not been popular on the music scene. Amber's reputation...

Ahhh......a real sigh of relief for all the loyal Superman fans who were left in limbo with thier thoughts thinking major destruction like krytonite's danger to the actual Superhero, when the news first broke that Howard could possibly be suiting up with another team. Thinking along those lines was something that many fans dreaded to even ponder and the idea of the deadline coming during the height of the Basketball Season, just salted the idea even more. Yuck, what a bad taste for fans. Ma...

The girl (who satisfied her sweet tooth with music instead of snacks) sure made dessert fun again for all of her true fans, when she created her hit song called Milkshake. For the competition and others who looked on with raised brows, she just got low for them by dropping Bossy which screamed female empowerment. Young women everywhere always seem to be inspired by females who are not afraid to take the lead.

Time and time again, Kelis has lead fans on a journey of discovery. Fleshtone, h...

There have been many songs created in the Big Easy by talented artist who could have really made major headway on a national level, but because of the unique culture and in part lack of effort on the part of many local artist, the amount of success received was only leveled throughout New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Artist like Jubilee and TT Tucker are some local artist who worked the Independent to the maximum. Block Party DJ's know how to get it cracking for the hood. Radio stati...

Exploring ideas about how girls and boys enjoy playtime, similarities in style, and Lego as an alternativbe to Disney certainly puts the spotlight on recreation and quality time with family. A lot holds true in the ring of boy meets girl for playtime. Most boys certainly like cars, trucks, and action figures. That's why it doesn't surprise me that boys also enjoy building things with Lego's plastic toy bricks. Girls are not excluded from the boys circle of everything in motion hero or st...

Brand knowledge is a very important aspect of the selling game. If you want to sell products and keep people excited when new products hit the market, you have to actually believe in the products you sell. It's the mark of a good salesperson. Customers sometimes want to hear what you actually think about a product, when you are engaging in interaction before you close a sale. That's why taking the time to learn about your products is key. I've learned that every step along the way before the...

Like King, I want to express my victory over defeat, by living it as I achieve. My stride never changes because the mission is clear, so I just keep going

The American Dream is just over there, although, I can see it more clearly at times, It really just depends on where I'm standing to weather life's storms or where  I'm at enjoying the view of my sunshine

Well I guess Bristol Palin (Sara Palin's daugther) is not living by Lady Gaga's words. Gaga's song The Fame talks about living for the material, having a taste for champagne, and just living for the fame. The exact lyrics that grabbed me and shook my being were sung by the Born This Way Monster as follows: "All we care about is runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles, give me something, I wanna be, retro glamour Hollywood yes we live for the Fame, Doin' it for the Fame".... Lyrics like...

Fall is here and the signs are all over in nature and the outdoors is looking beautiful. Winter in Florida is like summer with a few unusual burst of a super cold breeze. Breeze being the chosen word because it never last long enough to make it to full wind. There is no longevity in Florida's winter days. If there is a span of 2 weeks or so, consider that the worst it will probably get before temperatures are rising on your thermostat again.

Around this time of the year I always feel like I ...

The NBA Superstar Dwight Howard has asked to be traded, citing one reason in particular as a factor affecting his choice to leave. What is it? Simply, his "voice" in team decisions needs to have more of an impact. This all seems like a bad dream that many fans will have to relive over and over at first earful, but at least the shock of it all is not done in last minute spontaneity. The Orlando Magic Center is soon to be a free agent, so if team officials are planning to take full advantage o...

A Separation tackles the difficult topic facing many adult children who are faced with whether to assume the responsibility of caring for aging parents with debilitating diseases. Who will provide care? Nadar (played by Peyman Moaadi) and Simin (played by Leila Hatami) are struggling to decide whether caring for Nadar's father is more important than seeking a better life for their daughter outside of the country of Iran.

There is nothing that could be so stricking as a photo besides capturing the actual act and being lucky enough to be in that moment which is really all one snapshot really is anyway. A moment in time that can only be recreated but surely one that you can not get back. The photo below was taken of (Rutger Hauer) who plays Ingrid's (played by Carice Van Houten) father in the movie Black Butterflies. It depicts him as he disapproves her writing.

MontBlanc writing instruments sounds so fancy, but it is rightfully befitting for such an important object used to bring pen and paper together. Because of the construction of these carefully crafted pens, you may occasionally lean to display and admiration instead of a spill of your thoughts.

"The eyes are the window to the soul" now has become a part of the lyrics to a song called eyes from the artist Kaskade. Contemplating on that powerful statement is really a search for deeper meaning in the absence of language. Finding meaning when eyes meet and looking for a non-stated message means expecting communication to happen on another level. Think about these senarios. A mother looking into the eyes of her child at age 21. The moment your clear vision returns after an eye examinatio...

It's an Asian persuasion, but do I have to convince you to think in terms of the unfamiliar language of the stars who sound a little different from you?
