Song Of The Day

OK Go - WTF? from OK Go on Vimeo.

I love this song and the video. It's just so cool. Very creative. Very coordinated. Love it!

It's a shame that YouTube puts me through such bullsh*t. Every song I put into the search bar, YouTube can not find. I'm not crazy dammit. These songs exist somewhere. Somebody other than me has to be listening to it. Geez.

But with that being said. Here's the music for my new story.

Headlights - Some Racing, Some Stopping
The song autostarts on the page. So follow the link. It'll be worth it.

The Roots - Break You Off
youtube link.

Both songs have specific feels and affects on the direction of the story. So if you at least care ... take a listen lol.

Poem | by Me

Well this is strictly for class purposes. My teacher wanted us to create a poem that has a line or a word in another language. This was the best I could do, being that I do not know how to speak in another language. For this exercise, I had to make use of a online translator. So check this poem out. Let me know what you all think.


Fake

Love me for who I am.
Not who I pretend to be.
A charade, but it’s all for you,
for one reason
Yo le soy espantado me se olvidará.

I’m not sure if you know who I am.
Why must I pretend to be someone else?
But I have it all figured out
for one reason.
I’m scared you will forget about me.

No makeup and casual clothes is who I am.
Lip stick, dresses, and heels,
I put them on anyway
for one reason.
Yo le soy espantado me se olvidará

I boost myself up, polish my personality
Because you like interesting women
I will get your attention
for one reason.
I’m scared you will forget about me.

How far down on your list am I really?
Low priority status is not what I strive to be.
I want to be; no, I need to be number one
for one reason.
Yo le soy espantado me se olvidará.

When all is lost, I am still hopeful.
I’ll be whatever you want.
I’ll gladly be your last resort
for one reason.
I’m scared you will forget about me.

I wish you could love me for who I am.
Not who I pretend to be.
Watch as I contradict myself once more.
But I do it for one reason.
Yo le soy espantado me se olvidará.



... my favorite lines are "Love me for who I am, not who I pretend to be" it's inspired by Sidney.

Musical Inspiration | Motives StoryTrack

Just finished a new story and would like to share with you the music I think sounds great as background or mood setters for my story.

Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothing
&
Contanza - Burqa

Burqa just so happens to be my absolute favorite song of the two. It just has that grimy, off putting sound that reminds me of Sidney. I think of my characters all the time and I match music accordingly. I had another song in mind for the middle scene, but i decided to leave that out. Burqa is the stronger song anyway.

Song Of The Day

... I'm sure Vivie will appreciate this post. LOL. I absolutely love this track. Sure the video looks crazy, but whatevs!

Stages Series Soundtrack (say that three times fast lol)

This is basically a post for all the music I used to inspire me to write these short stories that I have. I can't post the music on my story blog for technical reasons, so instead I'll post them here.

And Then There Was You . . .

Smoke In My Eyes

No music for They Call Her Badnews

Half Empty

daykeepHER

New Vids | In my opinion . . .

I'm certain that yall saw the videos below already and I'm late. SO WHAT! Yall gon' see em again! Kisses. LOL.

Alicia Keys

::The Verdict:: WTH! I don't get the superhero part. Considering the content of the song, which is beginning to grow on me just like how Like You Never See Me Again, the video doesn't do it for me UNFORTUNATELY. Alicia needs to hook up with a bomb ass director cause these fools she's hiring ain't sh*t or just lazy! I wonder if these people listen to the music before they plan out everything. I don't know. I haven't even listened to the full song myself, but I'm just stating. It's a miss for me. Sorry.

Gym Class Heroes

::The Verdict:: I did NOT know there was someone else singing along with Travis. I could've sworn Travis sung the whole way through. With that being said, WTH! The close ups on the other guy was uh ... no. That is all.

Beyonce feat. Lady Gaga

::The Verdict:: Yeah, it's aight. Alotta hype, but it's aight. Still not feeling Gaga on this song. I prefer "Telephone" better if Lady Gaga has to be in it. I wonder if they'll make a video for it. But in this vid, Gaga was irrelevant to me. LOL. It's Bey's video and Gaga was a extra basically. Had her one scene and was out. Oh well.

Toni Braxton feat. Trey Songz

::The Verdict:: This is just extra to me. Toni was extra. Trey's bottom lip was extra. LOL. Everything was extra. Because it's Trey, I'll support, but the song and this video doesn't do it for me. I'm just saying.

Keri Hilson

::The Verdict:: No comment.

Janet Jackson

::The Verdict:: Finally, something to be happy about. Geez, since I was dishing out the WTHs earlier. I like this video tho. Janet looks great and I love the dancing in here tho. WOOT! That's the type of Janet I like. Sure she could've hit a few moves a little harder, but overall I liked it.

Poem | by Me

Poor Kitty, Kitty


A glossy, four-leaf clover dangled from my chain,
even though my luck has been shitty.
With it, I have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
To make matters worse, my name is Kitty.
My name is like knocking over a chessboard yelling “Checkmate!”
Knowing that you lost, loser, my face burns red with rage,
while drinking flat soda, using myself as someone else’s doormat,
lost in myself, not feeling anything close to my age,
wishing the buzzing in my ears would die.
Already my position is compromised,
paranoid, waving my hands, trying to swat an invisible fly.
Or is it a fly, either way it’s all a part of my daily exercise,
the little I manage to obtain.
And just my luck, no one is there nor do they care when I complain.

Dictating Light

My brand new lamp sits pretty on my table.

I turn it on. Two seconds later it’s broken.

FALSE ALARM! It’s just unplugged.

Wait, no, the cord is still in the socket.

I secured it in the wall and the light starts to flicker

Next thing I hear is a pop

Go figure, my room is dark once again

Then it flickers back to life

UGH! It’s off again.

It’s on again. That’s funny, I have a bipolar lamp.

Maybe if I jiggle the light bulb, it still doesn’t work

DAMN YOU!

Glass lemons.

Captains Log Stardate: 11212009

Hello all, Optimus here! So I've realized that I've been neglecting the blog TREMENDOUSLY. My blog is so scarce that my log in window is full of cobwebs and tumbleweeds. I apologize, really I do. I know that I still have a handful of loyals who depend on my blog 12.5 percent of the time they are on the internet because they know I will yell at them if they don't click the link. What's been holding me up from posting you ask? Well I've been focused on my story writing. I'm on part six if you don't know. Also I've had to attend school functions and I've been sleeping heavily this week so o_O. But I'm trying. I mean school is almost over. I'll have all the time in the world to blog. Plus I have nothing to blog about. This is primarily a music blog and as of lately I haven't came across any new music that I like and would like to share with you all. Maybe I should try harder. If anything, I owe you guys a daily Song of the Day post. That requires little effort to find. Right? Right! But back to our regularly scheduled programing.

Sincerely yours,
Sabrina

Made 4 TV? | Russian Roulette

QUICK! BEFORE ITS DELETED!



Can you show a gun and someone getting "shot" on TV, as a means of getting a musical message across? Thats all I wanna know. But dare I say it, I like it. But thats because I liked "Disturbia" video so this is in that same realm. It's cool. The acting was a bit fake. Yall know how I am when it comes to people showing emotion. It pisses me off if the actor can't sell me that emotion visually. But other than that its cool.

Throwback Friday

I've been falling off with the ThrowBack posts. For the past several fridays I haven't been home. :( But I am today. So ah-here-we-go!

Sade . . .

"Is It A Crime"


"Cherish The Day"


"By Your Side"


"No Ordinary Love"


My top for songs by her.

New Vid | Dirty Money & Letoya

::The Verdict:: This sh*t should be a crime. The crime: Liking this song. FML. That chorus is killing me softly. The chorus is the ONLY reason why I can stand to listen to this song. SH*T ME! I can't believe this. *jumps up in a chair* YOU MAKE MY LOVE COME DOWN, YOU MAKE MY LOVE COME DOWN, I FEEL YOU LOVE ME NOW, I FEEL YOU LOVE ME NOW! Just shoot me with a proverbial gun PLEASE! This chorus is making my life. I need to make a ringtone out this sh*t and call it a day.

P.S. That first girl is stiff as hell.

"Regret"


::The Verdict:: Pretty cheap if I do say so myself. I love the song tho. The video could've been a lot better. Left a lot to be desired. Too bad. There was potential.

Song Of The Day

So I saw this song tweeted in my timeline and I was like "John Mayer, okay cool. I like him. I prolly won't regret clicking on the link." So when I clicked . . . this song, from the minute it played, made my life for the rest of the day. It is just that awesome. The beginning. That xylophone sound, idk what it is, but I love it. And then his voice is in its own category, that's how unique it is. Another reason why I was so drawn to the song. And the fact that the song is called Assassin. POW. I'm in love. Take a listen and fall in love too.



Lyrics:

I work in the dead of night
When the road's are quiet no one is around
To track my moves
Racing the yellow lights
To find the gate is open, she waiting in her room
I just step on through

You get in you get done and then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face you get gone
Should of turned around and left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again

Enter the morning light
To find the day in burning the curtains and the wine
In a little white room
No I'm not alone
Her head is heavy on me
She's sleeping like a child
What could I do

You get in you get done and then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face you get gone
Should have turned around and left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again

I was a killer was the best they'd ever seen
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

Suddenly I'm in over my head
and I can't hardly breathe
Suddenly I'm floating
over her bed and I feel everything
Suddenly I know exactly what I did
but I cannot move a thing
Suddenly I know exactly what I'd done
and what its going to mean, mean to me
I'm gone

I was a killer was the best they'd ever seen
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assain and she had a job to do

*side note*
I don't know when this album is coming out. Might be next week cause its on pre-order on iTunes. But I'm getting this!

Just In Case You Missed It

cause I sure did.

Chris Brown on Wendy Williams + Crawl Premier

New Music | Chris Brown ......... Rihanna

Sing Like Me

I have a theory that this is the PERFECT formula for Chris Brown to take to step away from the drama. There are no dark undertones. He doesn't talk about murder, guns, depression, revenge, whateva the case may be, you do not hear that in his music. And I, for one, appreciate that. Its about making the right kind of music instead of putting any ol' damn thing out into the world expecting everyone to accept it. I refuse to listen to sh*t music. This on the other hand is great. Its a good way to get people back into his corner. Good Job CB, I SEE you boo!

Cold Case Love

So maybe I should retract my statement about the sh*t music. I do like this song. I'm not as biased as some would think. But I'm a little discouraged. I know the girl is going through something, but do the writers have to make the sh*t so obvious. Is her whole album gonna sound like this? Please tell me that it's not. What happened to the uplifting? I want some of that. Or what about dance music? I like that too. Hell, does she have to sound like she been murdered or want to murder in every song? I'll pass. But I will say the main reason why I like this song because it gives me inspiration for my Sidney series. That's what I weigh my music taste on. Does it inspire me negatively or positively. And this is negative, so guess what the them of one of the stories will be? YES NEGATIVE! So I hope on her new album she'll give me some variety.

p.s. I heard her album leaked. Well guess who just saved herself 10 dollas?! POW!

So Dope

MTV Shows

POW .. how bout I loved what he did for Wayne's and Eninem's verses. That sh*t is hot. Gives the song more life than it already has. I love it.

New Poem | by Me

This is like a little story in poem form, enjoy. And yeah its about Sidney. LOL.


Just Business

She waited

staring at the entrance of a bar across the street.
It was closing time, the owner stood at the door, she dashed
over, grabbing him by the wrist before it shut.

“Last call?” she asked, ducking under his arm
to enter. Two stragglers stayed behind. That just won’t do.
“You should get them out.”

He replied with a nod. He wasn’t much of a talker,
which made her job a lot easier, to end his financial woes.

She grabbed a short glass. Swirled the brown liquor
then she tipped it over. “Remember, 25% of the insurance is mine.”
He waved her off.

Spilt liquid, knocked over chairs and tables, and piled
newspapers and magazines. Good, good.
A smile spread across her rosy lips as she eyed her lighter,
striking the roughness of the thumbwheel
until a flame appeared.

It dropped.
The fire consumed the room as she exited.

No remorse necessary. Just business.

She stood back, watched her work, and then turned to the owner.
“I want it all in 20s, 10s, and 5s”

Song Of The Day

Paramore - Playing God


*I absolutely love this song. It's just something about it*
"Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to a mirror" That's my favorite line.

i SEE you! | Trey Songz

And no I do NOT sound creepy. LOL.

New Sounds | Day26, Mary J., Mariah Carey

Day26 - Beauty's A Bitch

HOT!

Mary J. Blige - Hood Love (Feat. Trey Songz)

It's aight!

Mariah Carey - Inseparable (Feat. Trey Songz)

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii LIKE IT!

Ooooo niceeee

How bout I love this picture. I'm not being biased of anything. (i.e. the Chrihanna gate situation). I'm not even gonna speak on this bullsh*t because I will lose friends on both sides thanks to people's sensitivity in relation to other's opinion. I LOVE music, not the personal lives associated with the person who creates the music. And y'all, well most of y'all weigh too much on someone's personal life than the music. It's all about music people. GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT AND TAKE THESE PEOPLE OFF OF THE PEDESTALS Y'ALL PUT THEM ON. MOVE ON! I know how I feel about it and thats all you need to know. Getting back to the picture. YUHS! That is all.

Song Of The Day

Massive Attack - United Snakes



I just found this song on Kanye's blog and I absolutely love it. I know of this group. I have one of their songs on my iPod so it was natural for me to like this song.

Photoshop Me | Pics of the Week

I have a new blog strictly for my stories and this is the artwork for the page itself. I'll post the link for it when the next installment for my story is done. Might be in the next 2 weeks. I can't do a rush job. It just takes me forever to write because ideas come and go and most of the time they don't fit together and the challenge is making transitional scenes for the random ideas I have.

This is the background I made for Dre. Spent two days virusing my computer just to look for ideas thanks to google. NEVER AGAIN will i go on that hunt again. I have to stick with links that are familiar with me. And as you can see, I'm stepping up my photoshop game. YUHS. Its all baby steps. I learn something new everyday.

I actually love the pictures Cassie takes. She should just model instead of sing. And besides I took a liking to her because of my character Sidney. I based Sidney off of Cassie minus the black hair.

New Video | Trey Songz *grips table edge*

Dear Santa,

I know that I've asked you for just about everything under the sun since I was little. Every here and there my wish would come true. Well Santa I have a request of you. Under my tree, this coming Christmas, I would like a man of Trey Songz's status/appearance/everything (or just him) wrapped in only a bow in the wee hours of the morning well after everyone is sleep. He can have tattoos too just as long as they ain't about bullsh*t. And he has to perform every scene in that video, if not better. I still believe in you Santa and if you make this come true I will campaign your existence to everyone.

Love always,
Sabrina

P.S. throw in a bag of ice with that will ya please, thanks. Oh and there will be cookies on the table. UR WELCOME IN ADVANCE.

Song Of The Day

Poem | By Me

Superman

You have every girl’s heart with as little as a wink of the eye.
They’ll gladly admit they’re crazy about you, but not I.

I hear you whisper, “I’m here to save you,” as if you’re superman,
from heartbreak and desperation, and I sternly reply, “Not I.”

I don’t need your rescuing. I can take my bumps and bruises
Still you try to lure me, sway me to your side, but not I.

You fly in and out of my life, but you have no stake here.
Women are quick to throw themselves at you, but not I.

But I must admit the way your red cape flaps
in the wind captivates me, but I am not attracted, not I.

I tell myself, “And yet you continue to admire, Sabrina, helplessly.
You’re heart wants it, but your mind still says, ‘Not I.’”

Song Of The Day

Yeah its a snippet because the rest of the song is sh*t. Gucci Mane is on it ... he's worse than Soulja Boy. F*CK OUTTA HERE WIT THAT. The snippet was dope as sh*t and then I finally heard the full song and it took away from what I initially loved about it. I'm feeling horrible now. It's like watching a dog run out into the street only to get hit and turned into road kill. That is what this song is like now after the release of the whole song. No Bueno. I'll keep the snippet.

Album Cover | Chris Brown

I said I would NOT touch this picture with a ten foot pole yesterday. But here it is. Because of personal preference, I can do without Chris Brown's stretch pants. I'm sorry. I love the man to death, but come on son! WTF WAS U THINKING ... PAUSE! I can barely look at this picture. When I look at it I can't even laugh. Those pants just disturb me. I'm hating this skinny jean movement. What are you n**gas thinking? You ain't allowing yourself enough space to breathe in that region. Damn. Worry about your potential offspring first. That is all. And goodnight

*curtains drop*

New Video | Rihanna

::THE VERDICT:: Blank stare ... a church tho? BISH U REALLY WANT SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT YOU. SMFH. UGH NOW ALL THESE DAMN PEOPLE GONNA COME OUT AND START TALKING ABOUT THE ILLUMI-WHATEVER. SKIP ME WITH THAT BULLSH*T THANKS!
