Acoustically Speaking

I am reaching out to some of my favorites, people I haven't heard from in a while. I'm a young lady that has a SERIOUS weakness for acoustic renditions of songs. For those of you that don't know what that means, it's pretty much a song out today played live using nothing but an acoustic guitar. Kind of like a capella in R&B. Acoustic renditions of songs really bring out the singer's voice and talent and can deepen your appreciation for the song. I sweat acoustics, fine. So here's my plea:

John Mayer, where are you? Stop touring and drop another CD, sheesh. I don't know what you're going through, but you can underSTAND what life is like without you. The Fray, I'd love to hear an acoustic "Over My Head" cuz that's my favorite song right now. Teddy Geiger, I love "For You I Will (Confidence)," both versions, keep up the good work. Justin, what is your situation?!? Your voice over that guitar riff makes my whole world right sometimes. Hoobastank, I know you're trying to come back, so I'll cut you some slack. Daniel Bedingfield, I'm sure your just trying to let your sister get some shine right now, but seriously, I'm ready for a 3rd First Impression, so get it poppin'.

Now I know music comes and goes in cycles and the wave of the true musician may be making its way 'round again, but I'm a little impatient. I can listen to BUT so much of Flight 26 on XM, it's time for something new.

So there's my plea to some of my favorite artists, some are all set, some need to step the game up, please and thank you. Acoustically speaking, of course.

Is That Eyeliner You're Wearing, Charlie Day?

So I was watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia a few weeks ago when I noticed that Charlie 's eyes were so prominent. He's a funny little man whose antics never fail to please so I pushed it to the back of my mind. I know people wear eyeliner to bring out the expression in their eyes because the lighting drowns it out, whatever floats your boat. And you never know, he may have REALLY pretty eyes that just look like he's wearing eyeliner. Then I was watching last night and realized there was no DOUBT Charlie was wearing eyeliner and I couldn't shake it. It really took me out of it. Nonethless, the show was AWESOME and I don't care if Charlie's a cross-dressing salad tosser's bitch, I'd watch him any time. Check it out, cuz it's quite possibly the best TV I've seen in a while.

What's So Different

I was talking to my cousin Debbie (the Princess) about dating last night when we ended up arguing about cultural differences. We're both Haitian, but I was raised Black American (that term itself is from the Haitian culture) whereas as she was raised with the culture deeply imbedded. I can honestly say I started "learning" how to be Haitian when I was 17. My friends all knew I was Haitian, but also knew I was basically in a Southern family. It's a long story, but I was kept as far away from anything Haitian as long as my mother could help it. That's just a little background, on to the argument. Now, Debbie and I are like night and day when it comes to men. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed and I cut someone before they get to use me. We're not only like that with men, we're liek that all around. I'm bookish, she's artistic. I'm witty, she gigles a lot. She's got numbers locked, I'd rather write a story. We're just...opposi...
