You Can't Win, Child.

Seriously though... you can't win, child.

lol anybody know what song i'm talkin bout?

yeah, i'm a dork- AND?!!?!?

it's from The Wiz, sung by Michael Jackson as the scarecrow of course.

only one of the hottest songs from a musical-EVER.

but it's true though, everything about that song is the truth, my life, the whole 9!

[ a bittersweet feeling, but that's none of your concern. ]

DL it, it'll make you happy even though it's about things just not workin' out,lol




And now, since i really don't want to do homework because i'm BOUND to fall asleep, here is my "TOP TEN SONGS IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW" list (in no particular order):
1) M.I.A feat. Timbo "Come Around"... this song could either be super annoying or super official, you decide. shit is hot! "Sidekick rings, what's up-HOLLA! Text the address, i'll see you lata!"
2) Paramore "Let the Flames Begin"... homegirl's voice is the TRUTH. "What a shame we all became such fragile broken things.
A memory remains, just a tiny spark. I give it all my oxygen, to let the flames begin..."
3) James Morrison "You Give Me Something"... *MAJOR SIGH* This song is ART, it's so pretty, and honest, and anxious, and... dammit, it's ME. "Never though that I'd love someone that was someone else's dream"
4) Alanis Morissette "Head Over Feet"... Act like you don't know. "And don't be surprised if i love you for all that you are, I couldn't help it, it's all your fault!"
5) Earth Wind & Fire "You & I"... This song is crack, I almost played it out in a weekend, no need for a quote, cmon now.
6)Jamiroquai "Spend a Lifetime"... So feel good, so peaceful, so pure, so simple. "All I wanna do is spend a lifetime with you.."
7)Jojo "The Happy Song"...AWWW!!! I freakin love this woman trapped in the body of a tween, incredible. "I might be young, but i still know what it is to be happy."
8)Janet Jackson "Feedback"... She brought it back, you already know. "Crank it up, give it to me, c'mon..."
9)Lupe Fiasco "Dumb It Down"... KNOWLEDGE. "You goin' ova nggaz heads Lu! DUMB IT DOWN!"
10) Natasha Bedingfield "I Bruise Easily"... So vulnerable, so soothing, so catchy, love it! "I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me. There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree..."

Um, to all 4 of my readers... DO check these out. This is the kind of mood I'm in, no frontin here! lol

Yo, shoutouts to Krystell, mannnnnnnn! i see you!

"Um... OK! LOL" for Joe Budden

"The record right now that sticks out is 'I Couldn't Help It.' It talks about some situations I had with some rappers' wives. It's pretty self-explanatory."

Um... OK! lol

kudos on still makin that music though, budden deserve a chance!

Brett Michaels... WORD?

The WRONG Stuff.

New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits.

Supposedly they're gonna have a reunion. HOLY SHT.

No. I'M SERIOUS!!!!

THEY'RE PLANNING SOME RIDICULOUS REUNION OR SOMETHING!

I won't lie- I LOVE "THE RIGHT STUFF"... BUT IS THIS NECESSARY?!?!!?!?!!?

OF ALL OF THEM........

IS DONNIE WAHLBERG SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?!

*sigh* on some real, i feel like the world is ending.

-franso

UPDATE: Hmm, I guess this isn't true! Moving right along!

Disney Dream Portrait Series

Aw, these are pretty cool.

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez are pretty corny- but I won't lie, this is a lovely picture of them reenacting Princess Jasmine and Aladdin (my boo):



Not much of a fan of Jessica Biel... but I guess this'll do. Nah, this is pretty!



Nevermind Gisele Bündchen and Mikhail Baryshnikov...
but Tina Fey as TINKERBELL?! C'mon, you GOTTA love it!



And this one... Whoopi Goldberg as the Genie? I don't know, I don't know! It's pretty cool though:

Cloverfield

2 things i'm not sure about:

1) The D.E.Y. and their song "Give You the World"... it's crazy cool that the 2 guys are boricua- i'm talkin THE ISLAND BORICUA!!!- (such as myself) but the song... I love the song the sampled... but her voice on the hook, pretty annoyin' no?

2) CLOVERFIELD. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT FREAKIN MOVIEEEEEEE!!! Becca loves it because it left her with so many questions. I hate it for that very reason. Whatever, go see it anyways Sara!

Mario

*courtesy of www.mario2u.com/photos

i always liked Mario... even back when everyone would crack on his nostrils.
he comes off as such a friendly, good mannered, flirtatious guy!
ugh, he's so attractive.

in the R&B game? I'd say one of the MOST attractive. I don't know, he seems so sweet... and that voice =)

watching him on TRL, don't worry, I didn't just randomly decide to write about Mario.

Shannon, I take it back!

I been goin hard on you, girl.

I been wondering for DAYS why Diddy would let you dye your hair like that.

I was confused and pretty disgusted.

BUT I DID MY RESEARCH GIRL!

AND YOU GOT ME! I AIN'T AFRAID TO SAY YOU GOT IT WITH THIS ONE!

Before:



After:

Some live for the bill, some kill for the bill

........Why is Akon so fuckin' SHINY in the "Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill) Remix" video?

Days have been passing and I STILL have no answers.

Oh- and if you tell anyone that I like this song, all hell's gonna break loose.

-franso

Possibility

For quite some time now I've been saying that Toni Braxton's "You Mean the World to Me" is my wedding song =)

BUT! I might've found an alternate.

Have you people heard Chrisette Michele's "Love is You"?

*sigh* Fanny was a genius for putting me on, man.

"...Cause love's my permission to be who I am
No inhabiitions cause you understand
Freedom to breathe oh baby
Love is you
Love's like a kiss when the sun goes down
Holds me tight when no one's around
Love's what I want to hold on to
Love is you...

Definitely check that song out.

Then there's also Javier's "In Your Hands"... Recently brought it back onto my iTunes. That song is beauty- not something you can really dance to- but it's pure BEAUTY.

"...In Your Hands
My life begins and ends
All that I am, I surrender to you
I’ve never felt so weak and yet so strong
I am home, where I belong
I was afraid, of losing everything
Now I’m amazed, ‘cause all I ever wanted
Was to lose, myself in you..."

*dreamy sigh* i'm not one to fantasize about my wedding- ok maybe not a lot- but when i hear these songs, i DEFINITELY think of THAT day.

Dear Geezy...

*youtube.com

Dear Geezy,

Hi. Never you mind that this song creeps me out because it's a happy song that sounds SAD, that her gestures and facial expressions are disturbing, and that she pretty much cries...

BUT IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU DIDN'T LAUGH AT HOMEBOY WITH THE WINGS WHO EMBRACES HER FROM BEHIND AT THE END?!?

I mean... you were there in PERSON!

Pop off.

Sincerely,
Franso

School

School, school, school... Damn, is it CLOSE.

I'm both dreading and looking forward to it at once.

Dreading: who the hell likes to study? *sigh* i'm taking latin american literature, history of latin america, and intro to ethics- do you know how much reading that is? not cute... AT ALL. then there's all the tiny hassles with the suitemates, and ugh, i can go on for days... Oh, and work. Don't want to quit, but it's SUCH a drag for me.

Looking forward to: PHOTOGRAPHY!! that's my 4th class, pretty excited about THAT one. Most importantly, I'm looking forward to busying myself with whatever there is to take my mind off of... things. Feel me? I LOVE being home because i HATE school, but sitting in this room- this pink pink peptobismol pink room- will drive the SANEST person MAD! My mind is working really fast and really slow all at once. That doesn't even make sense, but I'm serious. And don't get me started on how much money I spent while on vacation, school prevents me from doing that.

I NEED TO DUMB IT DOWN. That's my new shit... DUMB IT DOWN. Lol, clearly I'm listening to Lupe!

Hear about Lily Allen's miscarriage? =/ I don't know what I would do, so sad.

And what is this Tom Cruise Scientology video? I gotta see it, he is a MESS. I really DO think that Katie Holmes & Baby are robots or aliens or something. Katie wasn't creepy before this marriage. And that baby... SHE IS TOO PERFECT LOOKING!!!! DAMMIT!!!

So yes... school. I have 4 days left in my vacation and it already feels like it's over =/

This vacation was ABSURD. TUMULTUOUS. INTERESTING. COMPLEX. Yup, that's exactly how it was, how it has been. I'm happy it happened though, wouldn't trade it, had to happen.

I'm ranting... is it annoying you that I'm giving no details on my life but insisting on talking about it?

Fine, I'll stop.

tonight was better than i thought it would be, had to get out the house... was goin a tad crazy up in this room.

been spending a lot of time with my good good friend Fanny-Anny and I was extremely delighted to take her to Max Brenner's because I had been telling her about it for quite some time.

after, since the weather is so freakin nice, we started our walk from 14th. 1 am, nice breeze, healthy chat... really one of my favorite things to do.

walked from 14th to 59th, give or take a few avenues. that's why i love ny, didn't even feel like 50ish blocks AT ALL,lol

Speaking of Jackson...

Just wanna share this with all 5 of you.

I feel like this is one of the best songs/videos ever created on this planet.

I can't even put into words, but the melody, lyrics, choreography, EVERYTHING about it... And it's so timeless (probably my favorite part).

So leave Michael alone... and Remember the time,lol

-franso

ps- and i'm mad i thought he was fly when this video first came out. like i was deadass walkin around tellin people this was my "boyfriend" at the age of like 6,lmao... guess this was when my taste in long hair began. ew.

Crank it up, give it to me, cmon.

Dammit man. (i see you natalia... and P for that matter,lol)

So! I'm DEFINITELY feeling Janet's new song Feedback :)

Then 2 things happened to make me frown.

#1 here's the bridge:

You like it how I work my spine
Got you feeling all hypnotized (hypnotized)
I gotta body like a CL5
Make a **** wanna test drive but I’m so on fire
Flyer than a pelican find another chick better than I don’t see her
Cause my swag is serious
Something heavy like a first day period

... a first say period, huh? JANET, YOU'RE GROSS.

#2

*courtesy of youtube

..could it be that this is Janet's wackest video?

-franso

ps- and i'd STILL be Janet for a day. hell yes.

Sick. And In A Good Way.

"NGH WHT? I'm complicated. Down to my strut.
Like the way I hold my gat, flat on its side, like a pup.
And I'm tickling the trigger.
Make it laugh from its gut.
You would think I'm a comedian the way it erupts."
-excerpt from Dead Emcee Scrolls, Saul Williams

No Surprise

Knicks Vs. Kings

*View From Sky Box #905

Stupid Knicks! While I was pleased to be in a sky box... the game was so annoying, that we left before it was even over.

Last time i checked, it was like 91-70something, Kings!

Ugh...PROPS TO B FOR INVITING ME THOUGH!

Sky Boxes are cool, and that was a first.

But wait though.... OUT OF NOWHERE THE CROWD STARTING CHANTING "FIRE ISAIAH!"

i felt mad bad! llol

And awwwwww John Legend was there!

iFelicidades!

Bueno Mi Gente.. Happy New Year.

2008 is HERE and I must say.. I like the number.

Unfortunately, I feel like I didn't bring it in correctly.

Maybe I shouldn't have watched Serendipity this morning.

(btw, that's such a wonderful word. SERENDIPITY.)

Maybe I shouldn't have let things turn into what they have... Aren't things always BOUND to overflow when you don't handle them when you're supposed to?

*snapping out of my depression*

People... DO YOU THIS YEAR PLEASE!

ENJOY and get rid of that hangover by Wednesday please. =0)
