I think the bottom half of bagels is the best part. I always have. It’s gets crispier in the toaster and always manages to toast all the way through, making it perfect.

 

I think I am my most sexy when I’m wearing hats. Something about the brim being cocked over one of my eyes makes me feel fly.

 

I think it’s sexy when men were bracelets.

 

I think Jill Scott needs to step back into the limelight. I need her. 

 

I think life is more interesting when we take breaks from technology. When we turn off our cell phones and have an actual face to face conversation with someone and if we turn off our ipods and actually listen to the world as we walk or travel, we can learn a lot more.

 

I think Starbucks coffee is addictive and is slowly becoming my vice. If only the guy who works at my independent coffee shop didn’t develop a crush and become a stalker…

 

I think natural beauty should be celebrated.

 

I think more people should follow their passions instead of doing what they think will make them more money. Having what you need to survive is important, but what good is life if you are miserable living it?

 

I think the Daily love is absolutely right: People treat you the way you teach them to. Don’t blame them, train them with love, compassion and self-esteem! I just wish it were that easy sometimes.

 

I think people are going to be interested to meet the new Brandelyn.

 

I think music is a powerful weapon. It always amazes me how you can be in a bad mood, headache, backache all of it, but let YOUR song come on, it all just goes away.

 

I think resolutions are pointless, but I am implementing some life changes now. Not about working out, or eating better, or any of that. My changes are going to happen emotionally. I think because I am so loyal and so dependable that often people think that my feelings don’t need to be considered, but those days are over. I am no longer changing my plans or intentions for anyone else. And I am taking off my name tag that says Plan B. No mas. It’s going to be about me now, and I’m looking forward to the change. I am truly marching to the beat of my drum and I am moving forward.

 

I think that my new way of thinking is going to be a beautiful thing for my art.

 

I think STAYcations are the way to go. Forget traveling and airports and spending money on little trinkets. I plan on camping out in Oakland for my vacation. Spend time in museums, coffee shops, and of course, right at my kitchen table at my laptop. This vacation…ahem…excuse me…STAYcation is the kick off to the new me. I’m also reading 100 years of solitude. Message. LOL!

 

I think the week between Christmas and New Years is my favorite. It is always quiet, peaceful, reflective and productive. This will be my incubation time. I am excited. Yes. I am very excited indeed.

 

Peace Y’all

B

[Music Review] Great Boldness by Rod Jackson
Socialize This Post:ShareTweet Most people my age can agree that music isn’t what it used to be… It doesn’t really bother me because I love to listen to the old school stuff and can do without radio playlists.  However, when it comes to my son… well, that’s a different story.
