In my feelings listening to D. Hayes

Can I start by shaking my head???? Whatever! SMH!!!  It makes no sense that a writer and vocalist of this caliber is not heard in your cars, homes, and ipods or taking over BET, Centric, VH1 Soul, etc...IT MAKES NO SENSE!! This hardworking, calm, cool, smooth fella is absolutely brilliant.  Who am I referring to??? I bet ya asses wanna know! LOL! Anyone who knows me knows that I am a MUSIC head.....I love authentic music....music that speaks to my situations.....music that takes me away from actual happenings aurrounding me....music that inspire me to be a better artist! I must say I felt that and more while diggin through the digital crates(LOL) on http://www.ironlungs.wordpress.com/ and stumbled onto D. Hayes' album entitled "Lost In Translation." Moreover, I was PRIVILEGED to hear some of his new work(because i'm special..lol) from his upcoming project "No Stage Name" this past weekend and I was totally blown away.  That ride you go on while listening to Luther, Teddy P, Donny, Maxwell, Raheem DeVaughn, Brian Mc Knight, etc....I WAS ON THAT RIDE! What a thrill! To finally have another male vocalist who is GENUINE to who he is as a writer and artist! I love every second of his voice and writing arrangements on his songs.  HAD I BEEN WEARING DRAWS WHILE LISTENING TO HIM, I WOULD'VE BEEN A PAIR SHORT!! All I need y'all to do is check him out and get that old school taste of that authentic Soul/R&B music in your systems cause I know y'all gotta be fed up with the constant foolery radio tries to feed us with these artists that can barely sing a damn note!! I'M SO OVER IT!! D. Hayes is from Dallas, Texas and has been singing since he was 3....realizing it was God's calling on his life, he continued pursuing his passion....he's opened for Fred Hammond, Mario, and the legendary Commodores...speaks for itself! His perfect portrait painted through his voice and writing abilities can make you relive every aspect of a relationship......it's real....i'm excited.....and I have attached for you a single entiled " Second Chance" ....TELL YOUR EARS AND HEARTS TO THANK ME LATER! LOL ...

Stephen "Twitch" Boss

I must confess...........with his "I am who I am" personality, goofiness, and confidence in being himself...........I have a slight crush on Twitch.......He had an energy and a light he brought to the show......it was contagious.......if I saw him today.....He could be Mr. Taylor! LMAO

REALLY!!! That's what we do in America??

This is still one of the most amazingly memorable auditions of ANY season! I mean, he WOWED Mia Michaels.......that's enough! #KanyeShrug

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Say hi to Hiro!!!

Question: What is a "friend"????

Friend? What is the TRUE meaning of that word?? Who lives out the true ACTIONS of that word?
FRIENDSHIP has burned me many times. Alot of times the scars left me defensive to any future friendships.  I don't even like to use the word anymore. Sometimes I sit and wonder why people do the hurtful things they do.....what make syou want to hurt someone??? Especially a person whom you know would never hurt you in that way.....a person who has always been there for you whenever you needed. That word
"friend" is NOTHING without applied actions......actions proving that you are there to simply "be there" throughout time just because you care....NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING!! I've had my share of good and bad frienships to the point that I've decided to just skip that word right out of my vocabulary.  *SHRUGS* ......certain sh!t shouldn't hurt because certain sh!t shouldn't happen!! Oh DAMN....I'm venting.....that's not why I posted this.......i'm out! Carry on my good people

BRUH MAN and the see-through-fridge!!!


This is my MOST favorite BRUH-MAN scene!! Crazy funny!!

HUSTLE MAN THE WEDDING PLANNER???

This is my favorite scene with Hustle Man outside of him playing the saxophone and dancing while singing "Pick Up The Pieces"......"This chitlin loaf.....this go down easy and don't come up rough" ...LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MARTINNNNNNNN....Dragonfly Jones

Just giving some daily laughter! Everyone knows a Martin clip is just as funny as the first time even if you've watched it one thousand times.

@DaOnlySalt @Spindeezy & @DaRealPepa ......TOGETHER!!!


If you didn't catch the Legends Concert with SALT N PEPA.....MC LYTE......DOUG E FRESH....KOOL MOE DEE......AND BIZ MARKIE.......all I can say is WOWZERZZZ!! As everyone knows Spin hasn't been on tour with the ladies but, there is something about them as a trio....... indescribable......overwhelming......eye opener......I heard it said "It's magic" and indeed.....I agree! I watched them rock with my mouth wide open forgetting I knew the words to the damn songs.....I just couldn't believe I was watching Salt, Spin, and Pep do their thing!!  When Spin came from behind the turntables to do her "Whatta Man" verse the crowd went BANANAMAH!! Salt and Pepa were killing the steps to "Push It"....despite their ages, they were full of energy and it was like watching the video all over again!! THEY ENDED THE SHOW WITH KIRK FRANKLIN'S "STOMP" (remix with Salt's verse) annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that was a GREAT touch!!!! I won't tell yall that I almost fainted...I won't BUT, ALL I'M SAYING IS....... IT WAS MAGIC....... A night I will never forget!! And I salute this hip hop trio who will live forever!!!

J'Adore Model SACERIA GOSS ( @Saceria )

With a world full of gullible women....I say gullible because it seems you can tell women anything and they'd believe it.....ESPECIALLY telling them they can be a model!! STOP THE MADNESS...Every skinny chick is not a model and every THICK girl is not born to be a plus size model!!! However, there are a few who are destined to do this and that's what I'd like to believe about Saceria.  I chose this picture because of the natural beauty it upholds. And LAWD have mercy she has on clothes!!! Don't get no better than that! Now......I need you women with bullet holes to stop getting naked for these photographers.....THEY ARE LYING TO YALL.......LOL!!! P.S Go vote for Saceria to walk the runway at the Miami Swim Fashion week ------>   ......PEACE!!

P.S. what y'all don't see in this video is when I made Dondria bite a piece of her ham ....unfortunately she fell to sleep with it in the side of her mouth! LMAO!! This was a funny night!

MILK

I need the calcium..

So, growing up they put it in my cereal 

I believe grandma put it in every cake she baked

Mom never had to make me drink it

I enjoyed the taste

Sometimes I'd throw some strawberry flavoring in it

Hmmmm..I thought it was a masterpiece


One of my favorite drinks

Doc says it helps your body grow

Healthy...stronger

I believed...so, I drank plenty...often

Needed for my pancakes 

Oatmeal too

Orange juice was cool

But, breakfast wasn't the same without it 

The perfect thirst quencher 

On the dairy aisle, I'm eyeing it

Not even the fluctuating prices could stop me from buying it

It does my body good

So, there was no question...if I'd drink it forever

But, I haven't had any since I met him

Because he does my body better -Ms. Taylor-

First Time We Made Love

You knocked 

I opened the door

We talked about childhood

For hours we exchanged stories

We heard each others pain.....

We laughed about our fathers mistakes

Opposite on the ends of the couch

We stared at each other smiling, without words

A pain in my back

Offered to rub it

So, I gathered my anatomy on top of you

Ear on your chest

Your hands slow and easy across my back 

I looked up for 1 last glance into your eyes but, all I saw was a bright smile

I couldn't help but, share my lips with yours 

And it started to happen 

I couldn't resist

I started kissing down your neck and back to your chest

Motion of fatigue-ness 

And.......

I fell asleep listening to your heart! -Ms.Taylor

BEST FRIEND

Well, I can only assume I have something to say 

and since there's no one to talk to... 

I'll talk to you 

you always listen best 

intake with no stress 

I often wanna ask if this is hard for you to digest 

Especially when there's no particular subject 

Just words.....written all over your face 

But, you allow me to vent 

and I thank you.....from the bottom of my heart 

when I need you....you're there 

not saying a word 

just copying down what you've heard 

reminding me of times forgotten 

when I come back to you....you're nodding 

like...remember this time when you felt this way 

or reminding me that i'm safe with you so...feel whatever way 

and to always tell you what I can't tell anyone else 

So, I talk to you before I talk to myself....and others 

You don't judge me.....you just listen 

with very close attention....I don't have to re-think decisions 

Because when i'm wrong I admit it to you 

even when my words are out of character 

and when I am totally incorrect 

I can always comeback... 

look at you 

and edit that shit 

cover your ears..... 

I didnt just say that.... 

Thanks for listening template 

BURIED FOR PROTECTION

In the midst of anticipation of the unknown 

I'm rediscovering myself 

planning to conquer myself 

I turn a corner for pleasant but, unsuspected answers 

naaa, I won't let you change her 

I find me to be quite interesting 

analytical....many questions 

more certain than just guessing 

the chick with the eyebrow raised 

individuals are truly amazed 

that my external technique 

isn't equivalent to my internal physique 

counternance so stern and mean 

my heart tap dances as you fiend 

to scratch the surface 

but, you scared 

and my outter screams I dare 

so, you don't 

and I won't 

allow your judgement to strip me down 

and when you see a frown 

i'm just telling myself don't smile 

because when they see your heart 

they take advatage of you -Ms. Taylor-

"Morning Knock"

WOW.......as soon as my eyes opened this morning

I smiled before yawning

and the reason, I have no clue

and no 1 has giving me a hint

but, i'm happy

im talking grandma-made a pound cake-happy

i'm talking singing-in the shower-happy

preferably Lauren Hill's MTV Unplugged or Toni Braxton's Secrets

and dont stop until youre fully dressed

I guess....no, I know

happy like im 17 again and it's first day of senior year

socks are fresh and laces are new

whewwwwwwww......no i'm talking 

news about Michael Jackson-actually having kids-happy

Wait! Rewind! That's some bull ish

When I saw them, I knew they werent his

But, I was still happy when I heard the lie!

Happy like Thanksgiving's table sweet potato pie

Still don't know the reason why

But, happiness knocked early this morning like.....Hi

I said come on in.....welcoming....oh, I wasn't shy

i'm hoping you know what you got yourself into

I don't plan on letting you say bye -Ms. Taylor

"Can't Describe"

Wrecking my brain

Scribble

Then feel some more

Think think think

Then jot down what I felt before

Ball it up 

I'm not sure

Scratching my head

Trying to figure what my heart said

Is saying......will say

Adjective column 

What's gotten into me?

I could use metaphors and similies

Listen to others as they confess 

No help.....nonetheless

I've been exploring me because I feel lost

Reviewed the past to see if anything sparks....

I just don't know what they are

What they look like

The start or ending

I'm searching in the morning when I awaken

Taking my time and I hope that they aren't taken

So many to choose from 

I just can't use one

Shucks......hmmmm

I've searched and
Tried to describe

I asked my sister... my brother

My father.....my mother

So truthful
So new
So real

I asked Webster and still

Not even he had words to describe the way you me feel -Ms. Taylor-
