So “Jonny” by Faye Webster is describing me a bit too much these days. The lyrics “my dog is my best friend” made me just pause the song and stare into oblivion for a sec. Like here is my dog, laying with me in my bed, while i’m blasting this song in my room. I guess my dog really is my best friend. Thanks Faye.
Dang, I didn’t realize how heavily I mess with Billie Holiday
I know some of us are very frustrated right now, but i’ll say this.
At least we ain’t drake.
I decided that as a Florida resident myself, i’d tell you of it’s worth living here.
Pros and cons of Florida
Pros:
Florida men(free entertainment),
Publix,
the history, springs,
wildlife,
SOME beaches,
you get an orange tree in your backyard,
surfing and kayaking during hurricanes,
we have a Buc-ee’s now,
rocket launches,
FOOTBALL,
my grandma
Cons:
corny Floridians (the Maga ones)
humidity
the weather (3pm rainstorms everyday in the summer),
mosquitoes
interstate road 4
that damn mouse
Flat ass land
miami accents
people who piss off my grandma (the politicians)
Will update as I continue my life.
They do whatever they want, and I think that’s pretty cool.
i tried so hard not to give in and reblog, but only the strongest can stand so long.

i take back everything i said. I had a gut feeling she’d end up winning. I don’t mind beyoncé, but i just don’t think it was that deserved? Don’t get me wrong, she’s been robbed before, countless times. I just didn’t see that being her best work. As for Billie’s album, it was amazing. And nothing? Oh cmon, 13,000 people. The lyrics, engineering, the discography, all heavenly. Cowboy Carter was a bold move by Beyoncé really, and as a country kid, i tip my hat to her change, didn’t mind it. I thought she deserved country album of the year tbh. Lainey, Kacey and Chris’s albums weren’t that catchy to me. But what we need to look at is the history of the grammys. It may have a part. Women of color honestly do not get the attention they deserve for album of the year. They have been long overdue. I mean last year, i thought it was SZA’s. (sorry swifties.) It was a solid album. But why has it taken so long? Now looking back, the last time a black female artist won album of the year was none other than….
Ms Lauryn Hill. For the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Now, what made it so special? Well friends, what she made was extraordinary (would recommend it a listen.) That album was enough to make grown men cry. It was all perfectly planned out, all of it. The beats, flow, lyrics, the whole damn album was an engineered masterpiece. But what made it catch the eyes of the committee? The impact it had on society. I’d say it inspired women (especially those of color) to wear their hair natural, have self love, embrace motherhood, and have truth. It redefined hip-hop and r&b. Shortening it, it did a hell of a lot outside of music.
That’s the reason i feel the committee awarded it to Beyoncé. The Impact. I do have two questions…
Did we really feel the impact of this album?
Did this meet the standards that Miseducation made?
Now it’s not right to compare these i know. But when you are giving it for impact, well, that’s when you can compare. I mean, it was a cool idea, bringing black people back into country music. Country music should be for everyone. Historically, we had black cowboys. The beats for some of her songs were good. I just didn’t feel this album, as opposed to her other ones. To me it sounded like the songs were out of order. It would switch from country twang to beats of hip hop and r&b. It felt out of place to me. But the 13,000 committee members must’ve thought it was good enough, to award such a high award to her.
But i’m just a dumb music enjoyer,
so what would i know?
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
so i listened to all the nominees for album of the year, and um, it could honestly go to anyone. this could be a jon baptiste 2.0 moment if you know what I mean. so be prepared everyone, it’s gonna be quite the ride.
