Confessions From A Black Rose

There are only four days left in the year and I feel like I have lived a thousand lives this year. When the year began I believed that this year will be the year things worked in my favor. Now that the year is ending I realized that I went through hell and somehow I am still breathing. At first I believed that  a part of me died during the storms but I have come to realize that I evolved, most for the better and some for the worst. During my journey of getting through 2011 I learnt more about myself, life and others than I cared to learn. I soon realized that in order to survive in this big bad world you need to love yourself completely. When that happens everything falls into place. You have to love all of your flaws and that way no one can bring your down. When you love yourself you will be able to stand by your opinions, your actions and trust your judgement. The second guessing will disappear and the fear of being seen as the bad guy, bitch or the asshole will vanish as well. Wha

Now that the holidays upon us, schools are out, jackets are on and the loss of sunshine has arrived. Let us take the time to reminisce about what was naughty and what was nice this season. Once Upon a Time, ABC When I first heard about Once  I thought it would be a ridiculous and the previews did not sell the show to me. Once  is  a show about fairy tale characters trapped  in Storybroke, Maine because of a curse by the evil queen. The Goods: If anyone would make this premise work it would be the writers from Lost . They have taken characters you know and love and given them a modern twist. Like Lost this show is cast perfectly. Seriously Prince Charming makes me sigh, Rumpelstiltskin is marvelously creepy and The Evil Queen is deliciously wicked. The chemistry between the actors is impeccable. The pairings of Snow White/ Prince Charming, Emma/Sheriff Graham really pull at your heartstrings. What I love is that none of the characters are flat, in a short time they have become quite

There is no denying that 2011was pure girl domination.  Female artists were having hit singles, sold out tours and best selling albums.  Britney Spears came back with her seventh studio album Femme Fatale   and in my opinion returned to making the music that made people fall in love with her in the first place. Katy Perry had three number one singles and Rihanna scored her ninth solo number one single this year. These two ladies are on top of their game, that is something you cannot deny whether you like them or not.  Lady Gaga sold over a million copies of Born This Way the   opening week and the album went on to sale nearly two million copies in the US alone. Not to mention The Monster Ball Tour was one of the biggest tours of the year. In comparison to Katy Perry and Rihanna her singles have not lived up to their potential. Regardless she was able to sell more records than both of them. Now she has to release ScheiBe and Heavy Metal Lover before the end of the era. These two s

I take blogging seriously and I am working around the clock to make this blog perfection. I would admit it took a little under two years to make this blog everything I imagined it could be. With that in mind I am exciting to announce a few coming attractions to my beloved blog. Poems Poems and more Poems I've been on a creative turbulence lately and it has resulted in an overflow of poetic ideas. Many of them are still premature but at least one will be hatched before the end of the month End of the year wrap-up: Music 2011 has been all about the ladies. Unless you were living under a rock, I am sure you know which ones I am talking about. I will go into full detail about what was popping and what was lacking this year in music later on this month.  Must see Films of 2012 No where on this list will you see Breaking Dawn . Let me repeat, no where on this list will Breaking Dawn be. I am sure that "people" are anticipating this film but I'm socially inept

vengeful wrath springs like a river consuming thy enemy

Last night the Grammy nominations were announced and I did not know what to expect. The only thing I knew was that  Adele was going to get multiple nominations. When the Record of the Year nominations were announced I became delirious. Rolling in the Deep was a given but to see Grenade and The Cave there as well I was overjoyed. I was also happy to see Bon Iver's  Holocene  there as well.  It was a great category. I was shocked about Firework being nominated but I understood why  it was. Then the S ong of the year nominations were announced. I became hysterical because Grenade and The Cave once again were nominated. I can not explain how much I love Mumford & Sons and how much The Cav e has touched me. I love Grenade and don't know where all the hate comes from. It's a great record but some people just do not Bruno Mars because his music is too "sappy" whatever that means. All of the Lights was well deserved as well. The next nominations that were annou
