just get back up when it knocks you down

Knock You Down - Keri Hilson

word to the wise - Henry Miller

Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves, there is no hope of finding ourselves.

p.s. i always loved Eminem

Lose Yourself - Eminem

take it back. wayyy back.

the thing about american idol...you hear songs you probably haven't heard in FOREVER! case in point, Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," and Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back."  

here are some renditions by american idol contestants: Nadia Turner, Stephanie Edwards, and Ramiele Malubay.

Love Will Lead You Back - Taylor Dane

You Dont Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield

Noone Ever Really Dies

feeling this song all types of heavy.

Sooner or Later - N.E.R.D

lollipop, you must mistake me, you're the sucker

i'm such a sucker for cute-sy corny songs. will be singing this one out loud all day.

1, 2, 3, 4 - Plain White Ts

the flip side

a sound totally different than what you're used to from rihanna, from 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad. slightly more haunting vibe than 'unfaithful.' i like.

Cry - Rihanna

scratching the itch

they're both un-fair-to-the-world-ly attractive - rihanna and justin timberlake.

Rihanna - New Music - More Music Videos

been itching to watch coldplay live since i heard about their most recent performance.

sing it girl - If I was a Boy

But you're just a boy. You don’t understand. How it feels to love a girl. Someday you’ll wish you were a better man. You don’t listen to her. You don’t care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted Cause you've taken her for granted And everything that had got destroyed. But you're just a boy.
