HAPPY NEW ….DECADE!!
HAPPY NEW DECADE……cool I survived the (00′s)…..so now I have the 90′s…80′s…..and about 84% of the 70′s under my belt…..resolutions….yea I’ll make some…….use my creativity more…..read 1 book a month……and the typical stuff like save some $$ and eat right…..I really want to get my daughter inspired to get an activity and stick with it….expand her mind a little….I want to cook meals that I’ve never cooked before….I want to hear some good music…..some really good music…….well those really aren’t resoultions…..but I would like to experience those things this decade….believe me I’m quite sure I ‘ll think of more…..but for now those would really make me happy

The feeling is back….
….aolt of my writing is inspired by music….I don’t aways write about music , but music helps to inspire my thoughts….and I can honestly say that music just hasn’t been the same since M.J.died this past summer…..I haven’t really been listening to the radio, haven’t really watched any music videos….I haven’t read about any up and coming new acts…I kind of shut down on the music side……but have you ever heard a song so good it stays on your mind…..you find yourself singing it….next thing ya know you say I’m buying that album…..well I’m actually going to buy an album because I love this certain song……..it’s by Melanie Fiona the song is called “It Kills Me”……and I just really like this song…..no particular reason……it’s just a damn good song….. and I just had to tell somebody…….the album is called “The Bridge” by the way…..look her up…you tube…Google
I got that feeling.....

Toast 2 Tyler
T.G.I.F….I feel good today!!
….it’s Friday three day weekend for most….so get out and enjoy it….here’s a little something to make ya feel good today!!
so what are they going to say next…..
…..alright damn enough come on leave Mike alone….you heard him the first time when he made the song…..I have heard so many stories that it really proves that the media is way out of control…..why release stories that aren’t even true…they like to use the word speculate….so in way that creates doubt in ones head ….just because you speculatesomething doesn’t even mean it’s true….ahh but I heard it on the news….I thought for sure the internet would be worse but so far there has been plenty of fan support….and even people who aren’t fans they all feel the same way….leave the guy alone…….and if one more person comes up to me at work and says …did ya hear about Micheal Jackson??!..?… I have actually had to tell people I am not interested in hearing anything negative or any other wild rumors you may have overheard…..granted the biggest star in the world is going to be the most talked about person the world but damn….and to all the magazines & 30 minute tabloid shows they aren’t helping either, now I know they are getting huge ratings because people are curious and want to her the latest….these are usually the people who are coming up to you at work…..now the world is waiting to hear the final toxicology reports….the media will get another several weeks just off of that….so I’m just wondering….. what are they going to say about Mike now…….

U.L.O…… 4 Cool People
Hello everybody these are 4 people who are cool…..really cool check em out!!
Marsha-Marsha-Marsha
…….she is so cool you have to say her name 3 times Marsha “The Songstress”Ambrosius, she was one half of the funky duo Floetry……notice I said was…..the group reportedly broke up sometime ago, but Marsha continues to move forward….she is one of the best kept secrets in the music industry……..her credits include singing and writing songs with artist such as Macy Gray,Alicia Keys,Jazmine Sullivan,Outkast, Jamie Foxx,Justin Timberlake…..and even the great one Micheal Jackson…..that was her voice on Butterflies…..actually it was her song Mike liked it and wanted to use it and the rest is history, be on the look-out for her new album coming out hopefully really soon……
The Magnificent
…….he is the hottest rapper in the game right now his name Rick Ross…..it kind of just rolls of the tongue….Rick Ross…Mr. Ross has no doubt the best rap album of the summer, and if you talk to some hip-hop fans they will say his latest album “Deeper than Rap” is a classic……I have to agree….it’s the only rap album I have really enjoyed this summer, actually it’s probably going to end up as best rap-album of the year….Ross is very gifted when it comes to lyrics and clever metaphors….and some good beats don’t hurt either….if you are a fan of rap then this is definitely an album you need in your collection…..
A splash of Color
……David Bromstad is his name and color is his game…….he is the host of HGTV’s “Color Splash”…….this guy is very talented and in my opinion has the best show on HGTV, he has a knack for putting together some really incredible vibrant designs…..Mr. Bromstad is an artist, and he displays his talents by creating original art-work for each episode, whether it’s a table with 5 legs or a huge mural of a goose, he knows how to make it blend in and stand out!!…I wish he would re-do my place….
Hello Family
………some would say he is single handily keeping radio alive…..grown folk topics and grown folk conversations that is what you will find on “The Micheal Baisden Radio Show”…..he keeps his audience on their toes with his quick witt and his brash style of comedy……his sidekick Mike Willboughn will leave you in stitches, they are a match made in radio heaven….Mr. Baisden is also a very talented and successful writer, he has several popular books, and two of them have been turned into stage plays….eventually they will no doubt hit the big-screen one day….wait there’s more he is also a host of a late night talk show on the TV-One Network……it’s self-titled…. and I have to say I have even enjoyed watching the re-runs because the topic of conversation is always provocative, and the musical guest are always very special!
Toast 2 the Cool
