I couldn't help myself

I'm sure you could have clicked your way over to this Jazmine Sullivan joint, but leaving things to chance isn't my style -- at least not when it comes to music.

Dude, I don't know how many times I've listened to "I'm In Love With Another Man," but I can definitely say that I haven't gotten tired of it. Something about rainy music just touches my soul.

Jazmine Sullivan is the truth, you guys. The TRUTH.

Eeeeverybody ...

Some songs just touch my little soul. Even though I was a little judgemental of the acting in this video, I immediately added it to my YouTube Quicklist, right along with everything I could find from Jazmine Sullivan (that chick rooocks).

Anyway, peep this joint, "Everybody," featuring Fonzworth Bentley along with Kanye West and Andre 3000. Oh yeah, Sa-Ra contributed something, too. I'll let you know what it is when I figure it out.

Oh, and by the way: I think it's awesome that Ye refrains from rappin and hits us with the singing instead.

Go here. Like, right now!

Since I haven't had a chance to give my blog all the attention it needs (sorry, Bloggy), I thought I'd direct you over to the blogs that belong to the folks I love, as well as the blogs of those I don't actually know, and so therefore heart (love is too deep for strangers).

Anyway. Here's the short list:

1) There's CeleBrittiny.com, where "Brittiny is the host of Indy's newest entertainment blog featuring events and nightlife, news, fashion and much more."

2) Then there's RamenBerry.com where you read all about some really dope sidehustles and the hustlers behind em.

3) CHECK OUT "A BELLE IN BROOKLYN"!!! For a while, the blogger was dropping science over at Honey Magazine (the online edition). She's moved on to another publication, but still regularly posts about relationships, men and her life. Stoopidfresh, indeed. Check, check, check - check it out.

Be KANYE

My dear friend Ferdz (of Ramen Berry fame) hit me with the link for this Kanye "Infomerical." The clip is actually part of a stoopidfresh viral video campaign by the folks over at Absolut Vodka.


According to a very special, Be KANYE website, only the 21-and-up crowd's invited to join in on the Louis Vuitton Don-ness. I have a feeling that it's because the active ingredient in Be KANYE can't be found in the Be KANYE tablets -- it's in the clear liquid the tablets are floating around in.

I think it's safe to say the guy in the commercial isn't downing H2O.

All kinds of freshness

Santogold, Julian Casablancas, and N.E.R.D. Produced by Pharrell


I loves some Santogold. I digs N.E.R.D. Don't know much about Julian Casablancas, but darn it (!), I really dig the video.

It seems like every "hip, cool" video looks the same (kinda like HP commercial rip-offs), so this joint is mucho refreshing, dontcha think?

Flying Tiger, Crouching Dragon

Conde Nast Traveler says you can cop a flying tiger rug like this for just $85 from a spot in Tibet. Unfortunately, the company they mentioned doesn't have a website, and far more unfortunate _ I don't have any international travel money in the bank account. According to the description on The Monastery site, "The Tiger, one of the four primary guardian animals in Tibetan Buddhist tradition is free of any attachment to the earth... The beautiful Tiger skin, long used as an adornment for kings and spiritual leaders, is now made in soft wool, much better for tigers." That in mind, I think I need one.

Feel free to send it to me as a housewarming gift. 'preciate it.

Fashion, Police ...

I'm a little late on it, but has anybody seen these quilted ankle bags by Chanel? I know it's foolishness, but dare I say it ... I think they're kinda cute. Maybe it's just cuz they're made by Chanel, and the $1000+ pricetag has me thinking the leather has some kind of special value.

Whatever the case, I just can't hate on the foolishness. I wouldn't jinx myself and actually rock one (you know what old folks say about using somebody else's crutches), but if the jawns weren't inspired by the real-deal, law enforcement ankle monitors, then you might catch me rockin one on the beach.

Maybe.

Either way, don't judge me.
