Confessions From A Black Rose

It has happened everyone, summer has come to an end. Now that we are in the final stretches, I am trying to make the most of my summer. In the next couple of days I will be attending the Budweiser's Made in America Festival. It should be crazy but fun couple of days. I will be posting all about my adventures at my first music festival in my next post. Once again, time has arrived for me to share music with y'all. Here are some of my favorite tunes this summer. Let me know what songs you had on repeat this summer. 1. Capital Cities- Safe and Sound This song was definitely my jam this summer. It took me to a magical place full of rainbows and unicorns. What can I say, I am quite whimsical. It's so darn infectious and I am so happy that it is becoming popular. 2. Walk off the Earth-Red Hands I am beyond obessed with this song. One of the songs everyone should have on their playlist. 3. The Wanted- We Own The Night This song more than makes up for monstrosity t...

A little over a month ago I became a fan of this incredible talent by the name of Iggy Azalea . Iggy is an Australian rapper that is taking the world by storm. Here she is performing her single "Work" stripped down. Now tell me which one of your faves could do the same? I absolutely adore this woman. Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Followers of my blog know that I'm loyal viewer of American Idol and a huge fan of season 12 runner-up Kree Harrison. When I am a fan of someone I like to keep up to date on their various activities. I'm not  a stan for anyone, it takes too much energy. Do you really need to know every aspect of their personal life? Do you really have to know what hotel they are staying at? I just want to know when your next film or record is coming out. I was even accused of being a terrible Backstreet Boys fan because I did not know everything about them. Out of the "so called" fans I am the only one that has all of their records and supported them non stop for 16 years. I am not here to talk about my love for Backstreet Boys, that would take a lifetime. I am here to keep you updated on the lovely Ms. Harrison.  I don't really listen to country music but I would buy her album in a heartbeat. Yesterday it was announced that Universal Music Group( Idol's affiliated label) o...

After a harsh winter, I find myself in the midst of spring. I have planted seeds and I await for them to come to bloom. The unforgiving winter winds and blistering cold may be long gone but they whisper on my breath. Now as I await my summer I wonder if my winter was as bad as I believed it to be. In the darkness I watch the sun rise and set. All alone I wonder if today will be the first day of summer. Along this journey I have experienced detours and roadblocks. At times there were paths that disappeared from my horizon. Sometimes I wonder if I only dreamed of them. Call it stupidity or call it optimism, I have complete faith that all the fruits of my labor will come to light. It is the wait that causes me grief. Waiting for the indication that the winds have changed and my season has arrived. The season of the midnight sun. The season where butterflies fly during the day and fireflies light the skies at night. I am ready for the summer of my life. One thing I do know is that ...

Here is a link to my most recent blog post on my other blog. It is a review on fabulous documentary I was fortunate to see over the weekend. Make sure to check it out. I am extremely proud about this post.  The Amateur Film Critic: In the Shadow of the Sun : 

Last night the third ( arguably the best) season of  Game of Thrones  came to a close. I had prepared myself for the emotional toll this episode would endure after failing to take precautions for episode nine. Precaution I won't go into much details about what transpired because I hate spoilers and I am still in recovery. I am pretty sure that I am still in denial even though my sea of tears say otherwise.  For those of us that lived through episode nine, I am sending a huge cyber hug because that was absolutely brutal. It was worse than the ninth episode of season one. Remember folks for next season to have survival kit prepared when the ninth episode airs. In all honesty I was a little disappointed by the season finale but it left a perfect backdrop for season four. I am excited about  what is to come next season. If you have not caught a single episode of Game of Thrones , now is the perfect time to watch one of the best television shows on air.

Prepare yourself for perfection. I am having heart palpitations as we speak right now. Earlier today the fabulous Will Smith returned to The Graham Norton Show. He pulled out all stops bringing DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso Ribeiro on the stage. I have died and gone to heaven. Now it's time for y'all to follow me to the afterlife.
