Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

I’m Just sayin’ Volume 1

Black People and the Compact Disc…

            Now listen, anyone who knows me, knows that I am a connoisseur of music. I love it! I live and breathe it! I’m the one who will drop my last five dollars on a used Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation CD just to get that old feeling back. So when I get into  your car, or go to your house and see CD’s tossed across the floor and used as coasters, why on Earth, would you ask me to borrow one of mine? AND THEN get upset when I look at you crazy and say no?! Come on now playa, let be realistic. IF I wanted the DJ Clue remix of a song, I would go buy it! I don’t want my CD scratching and mixing, with Diddy in the back talking about take that take that when I get it back from you. So the answer is no…so don’t ask! LOL!!!

Flavor of Love…

            Now listen, judge ALL you want to, but I am a FAN of Flavor of Love! This show is THE most entertaining hour I have all week and yes I watch the re-runs! It is not often that I get to fall out and contemplate life on cue, so, yes, I am going to watch this madness and enjoy it! I feel like my Sunday nights are back! I love it!!! The quote of the show for me personally was ahem… “You better stop interrupting my prayers before God directs me to whoop your ass again..” I mean come on now! Tomfoolery at its absolute finest!!!!!

Club Music…

            The other day, I wrote about Clubs versus lounges, and I forgot the most important aspect. THE MUSIC!!!!!!!! Now the lounge, played the most amazing variety of music I ever heard. Matter of fact, half of the time, I had no IDEA what the song was, but I was grooving anyway! LOL!! No for real, I had no idea, but the beat will get you. Now, the club, is not quite the same thing. The clubs will literally and unabashedly play the SAME. THREE. SONGS. Over and over and over again, with no remorse, and all of the drunken hordes of half naked people will continue to snap and stare to it until the fight breaks out that ends the ‘fun’. Again I say No Tanto Mucho.

Dinner…

            Since my schedule for the summer is a bit more flexible then your average workday, I have been treating myself to nice little dinners at the house. Complete with a variety of menus and sparkling wine to top it off. Its has been fabulous. The other day, I created THE most bootleg marinade ever known to man that turned out to be THE BOMB! Now because I am never one that is selfish, I will share the bootleggedness of my creation. Start with the meat of your choice, I used steaks. Then season as you wish. I prefer the Tony’s Creole seasoning and a touch of Garlic salt. Make sure you get both sides good. Next, take some orange juice, no to low pulp content please, and pour over your meat leaving about a half an inch covering on the bottom of the pan. Next, take some green salsa, (you know the green salsa you get from the Rubio’s or Baja fresh’s of life, with the onions and cilantro) and evenly distribute over the meat. Take a red onion and slice and sprinkle over the meat. Let sit for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator and then cook as normal…listen…it sounds crazy…but that was some good steak son!

            Well, I must thank you for sharing in these thoughts. Sometimes, you just have to get things off of your chest…the thoughts that run through your mind… And for all my bay area folks. Please get out and enjoy this rare and so lovely sunshine!! Peace Y’all!
