Dear Britney and Christina

...and other. Just FYI, we realize you are not 16 anymore. And judging by the fact that you both have children, we know you have sex. You are adults now and its okay! Really! However, there should be a limit on the amount of songs you are allowed to write concerning your vagina-how often its used and the variety of ways you use it. Seriously.

Britney, I can understand that you have tried to break out of the mold that was created for you before you even learned to ....well, do anything...but I don't want to know what you do with the "Touch of your Hand." I also used to think that your music was kinda iffy but catchy..and you really knew how to dance...I've seen videos lately of your shows...prancing around in high heels you can barely walk in, waving your arms up and down, and splaying your legs wildly over your head (SLIGHT exaggeration there..heh) for the perfect crotch shot is NOT dancing. It wasn't dancing in '85 when Madonna did it, and its not dancing now.

Dancing??

She used to wear such cute outfits! Now she's bedazzled her undies and jumped onstage! :(

Christina, oh Christina. I love your voice..and I expect so much more from you.
I lived through your "Dirty" stage...mostly because the empowering songs like "Fighter" and "Singing my Song" were so wonderful. The slow wonderful songs like "Hurt," "You Lost Me," "I Am," and others...have a special place in my heart. I'm confused though with your latest choices "Bobble Head," "Elastic Love," and "Woohoo." A person of your talent just shouldn't stoop to that level. Really. Love you, but again, especially with songs like "WooHoo," and "Sex for Breakfast"....TMI. Thanks but no thanks. You have an unbelievable talent..you could grow moles all over your face and stand on stage in a potato sack and I'd still love your voice. There's no need to put a blinky red heart over your wahoo to communicate that you're "Not Your(my)self Tonight," I would have understood that point by listening to the lyrics. Really, its okay to put some clothes on.

The offending blinky heart outfit....lol Her thong underwear and chaps phase (Dirrrrty) didn't bug me! This did! lol

There are others I could include in this lovely post, but alas, I don't have that much time on my hands. I'm all for women empowering themselves and being confident and comfortable with their bodies....I'm not a prude. There is a difference between showing some skin for the sake of art..and showing skin just to be naked. You don't have to be nude to be empowering. Trust me on this.

Examples of outfits that make sense;

Love it!

Classy!

Ladies, you are better than this. You've got talent, you've got brains. Use them. And yes I know I don't really know Britney OR Christina..lol. It's just..seriously, whatever happened to having a little class? Its all you hear about in music anymore...like, I seriously don't care how many people you have slept with (I'm directing this to more of the "Birthday Sex," "Bed Rock," and "Put You to Bed" type of entertainers). I'm sad that I even know those songs. *sniff* *tear* I don't care how many "dollahs" or "Benjamin's" you have. I'm done hearing of your 'shoppin' spree's' and what you 'got up in your grillz.' Okay, I'm treading on over to the male singer territory, and I'm just going to end here..because I could go on for days.
All I ask for is music.
*smiles and mentally plays Christina's cover of "At Last" in my head* Awesome.
Thanks for listening, I've been holding onto this for weeks. I feel better now. lol
The End.

Just a Little Something On My Mind

My mind has been on my cousin these last few days. A few years ago, March 14, 2007, my cousin was shot out on the street and was killed. He was in his late 20's. What were the events that led up to that? What was that about? You know, people can say what they want..maybe he was running with the wrong people. I didn't know my cousin that well in the "later years" before he died. That part of the family lives in California. So, its not like we were really in touch. I remember though, when we got to see each other when we were little. I remember that cute little face. I remember his chubby little hands holding a child size Sunny Delight Orange Juice...and most of all chasing our other cousin around the house yelling at him in spanish that he was going to pull out all his hair! I can hear it in spanish in my head, but I don't know how to spell it. lol I don't know what he was to other people at the time of his death. I don't know what he was up to or anything that he might have done. I just know that I remember that sweet face and my heart hurts. It hurts me that he is not here anymore on this earth. Yes, I know about God and Heaven, and I know exactly where he is. It is just so unbelievable that one of us cousins is gone. And in such a cold and cruel way. Like I said, I didn't know him towards the end there, but my memories of him will stay sweet. I'll always remember that little trouble making sparkle in his eye....too cute for words baby cousin. If you can hear me right now...I love you.

Cryin for Me

Wow. Talk about those moments that take your breath away. Earlier today, I was watching Ghost Whisperer...and yes, this is cheesy, but its going somewhere. It was the episode where her best friend dies. She goes on describing their friendship and it sounds so much like me and Josie. She always had my back. She always believed in me. She never doubted anything I said or tried to do. She encouraged me in everything. And this is a time right now I could really use her encouragement. I doubting what I'm doing as far as school and everything I've had to give up. All the things that have kind of crumbled out from under me so I can go back and learn something exciting and new. I'm not feeling like the Melinda everybody knows..and hopefully loves. ;0)
So, I'm sitting here looking over a chapter for a test and just feeling overwhelmed and I decided to check my email in case my group canceled for our project in the morning. There is an email from someone who's name is very similar to her's (only one letter's difference) sitting in my inbox. At first glance it did look like it said Josie...and believe it or not, this song comes on my itunes at that exact second that always makes me think of her. Its called "Crying for Me" by Tobie Keith.
Is my cheer leader trying to tell me to hang in there?
I don't know...but I'm feeling her more than ever right now....
Sometimes its like, just when I think I'm ok...something happens to remind me of her and it blows me away.
Its amazing how much you can love someone. Josie was such a good friend to me. I miss her so much. :0(

I still suck I guess.

So its been a ridiculously long time since I've blogged, and I have actually really wanted to! However, both my computers are down right now. I'm prepared to throw a bomb at my laptop and my desktop is out getting repaired. So, I've been limited in what I can do online for now. I'm at the computer lab at school right now. BOoo! I want my computer back!
So, just wanted to let you know, if you are reading this, that I do plan on continuing this, and will try in the future to be a lot better at it. haha.
Love you guys!
