"Come on home to me Charlene."

Oh goodness.

I just got SO depressed for a second just now. I'm sitting here with my Windows Media Player on shuffle and what comes up but Anthony Hamilton's "Charlene".

Good lawrd, that's a depressing song right there!

"Baby I'll be sitting here waiting on you to come home again.
I won't leave. Promise, I'll be here 'til the very end.
By your side to protect you and to love and to be with you for life.
Come on home to me Charlene."

"Again"?!?! What you mean, "again"!??!? Good gog-a-molly, I know that has to be a SAD sight - a man sittin' up waitin' on his woman to come back one more time. That just seems like some terrible pain right there. 'Bout to make my head hurt up in dis piece.

But anyway...

I love visiting The Smoking Section on a daily basis. First of all, they have multiple posts in a day. Secondly, there is ALWAYS a bunch of links to music (singles, albums, discographies) that I want and forgot I wanted.

Today, I visited and saw that they posted the link to The String Quartet's Tribute to Tupac.

Can we say Miss J is HAPPY right now?!!? Yes, I think we can say that. LOL!

I've always enjoyed instrumented music. I mean, I love words and lyrics. I LOVE me some words and lyrics. Nevertheless, as a child, my mother listened to a lot of New Age music that I really and truly grew to appreciate. I even began to memorize the notes and "sing along" to those songs. Me and my Ini even went to a Yanni concert (where we were only 2 in a serious handful of black folk amidst an absolute sea of people), which I remember to this day as one of the most exciting concerts I have ever attended.

All this to say I am IN LOVE, LUST and whatever else with this String Quartet album. Oh my goodness! I am sitting here about to bust one listening to "Keep Ya Head Up". This is just string magnificence. I know Beethoven and Bach and 'nem are what strings are all about but damn. THIS HERE? This is music.

Damn-near makin' me wanna pick up a violin again and I ain't played that instrument in 'bout 11 years!

Matter fact, ummmm, I think I'm finna go research some classes I can take to get back into that groove 'cause maybe that's what I need in my life right now, some violin playing.

Hmmmmm....

Awwww Nawww....SAY IT AIN'T SO!

The first post HERE of 2007...

The fruit of having a short attention span and too many damn blogs!

But I could never consolidate. I just couldn't. I love each of my little spaces in their own little way. I couldn't part with any...

Well, maybe that Vox one... Nah! I love my QOTD's too much!

Okay, okay. How 'bout my Diaryland one? HELL NAH! I tells the TRUF about it ALL up in there. Can't let that one go...or be found! LOL!

My MySpace blog? Uh, uh. No can do. That one lets me get my "subtle hints" on. It's a keeper! :)

Where else? Where else? Hmmm, I think that's all for now.

But I do feel bad neglecting this here blogger. I guess I just haven't been impressed with this whole "beta" thing. Everytime I remember that I can't search other bloggers via key terms on their profiles, I get upset. Yes, I get upset! I wanna find somebody who likes Rahsaahn Patterson who blogs! Why can't I do that yet? It's just not right!

BOO Blogger Beta!!!

So I'm glad that the Superbowl is gone (yeah, I don't feel like puttin' them "."s in today either) from my city! Traffic was a mess and there were just too many people floating around town. Too many paper tags (in FL they give temporary tags when you purchase a car) and stretch limos. Too many folks tryin' to prove what they're worth (whether they were or not). Too much crazy driving. Too much hype. So yeah, GOODBYE SUPERBOWL!

See you in 2009. :(

Maybe I'll be gone by then. Who knows? I'm feeling the itch to switch...states, that is! LOL!

I'on know. I'm just feeling like it's time for me to move on from my hometown. But to what, right? I just don't have a desire to go anywhere else. But I feel like I need to be in a new environment...

Like I said, I'ON KNOW.

Well, I felt like a bad blogger, neglecting my little piece of internets right here. So i'm posting. I'll be back again soon. And I promise, I will have a bitching for dat ass!

But then again, I just said the other day that I wanna react to life differently. Basically, that I want to turn my frowns upside down.

I'm trying here. LOL!!

So I'll see... Won't I?
