Full moon energy

I'm high on preserved orgasmic and strong lunar energy.

I am. Woman.

Justin Timberlake's New Album 20/20

It's about time I wrote about JT's new album 20/20. I downloaded the album a few weeks ago and slowly but surely I have given it attention. My first thought was...meh. My second thought was...meh. My third and fourth thoughts were...umm, meh. And only after several tries have I come to find a few slow-dragging somewhat winners. Compared to the rest of the album, yeah, I guess they could be considered winners. Compared to his other albums, this one, in my opinion, is a flop. It feels drawn out, recycled, and I wouldn't go as far as calling it inauthentic, but it doesn't feel like he has anything relevant to say. And that's what makes an artist good... when they use music as a tool for channeling their own angers, joys, frustrations, mishaps, tragedies, and lessons into a sound that is real and relatable.

So, after several go-rounds of getting familiar with this album, I have found a song that's stuck. It's called "Strawberry Bubblegum," yo.

An Alicia Keys type of afternoon.

I love it when someone else's soul speaks to mine. It goes way beyond surface level shit. There is something special about this bitch's voice and this bitch's tune that makes me say "Mmm! Sing it sweet soul sistah!"

Alicia Keys - A Woman's Worth

Ballet ballet ballet

It feels as though ballet expresses everything I've ever needed to say and everything I've ever felt. My body moves not yet in a rhythm strong enough to surpass my doubts but strong enough to impress them, in a rhythm that exorcises all past hurts, rapes, lies, victimizations, done to me and mine done to others, and the pain...all that pain. It transforms the pain into strength and pure joy. I wink to an invisible onlooker as I elegantly float my hands into 1st position and intentionally scrape a foot against opposite foot, ankle, shin...into passé. I lift up on my standing leg into relevé. I feel a strength in my legs, a strength in my core, and a strength in my soul, for I have been through so, so much, and here I am, turning all the debris into something edible, something tasty, something so elegantly beautiful it takes my breath away.
