friday music mix

*** THIS BLOG HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECORDED***

I have been singing myself silly with this mix I’ve been listing to. I have scoured the internet to find sites that are not blocked by my companies firewall which totally sucks!! But hey I get it; They want you to work not be on facebook all day. But WHY then do they have a twitter linkedIN and Facebook presence that I can’t even see cause all the shit is blocked?!? I don’t get it (even thought I had just said I DID get it) ANYWAYS me and Seal were being kissed by a rose on the grave… a lyric I have no good idea what it mean but I be feeling it all the same!! Me and George Michael were carelessly whispering. I freaking used to LOVE that song. Back when you could only see videos on like video juke box, oh no wait I had my MTV. Probably one of the few people back in the mid 80’s that did in fact have cable. I used to watch the video and as a kid I was so clueless about what songs meant. It took me a while to GET that he was cheating on his girl with some other chick. What's hilarious now is when they play Careless Whispers at a wedding. I cringe I’m always like NOOOOoooooooo not this song!!! Don’t you people hear what they are saying. just like I’ll always love you (whitney version of course). These are not wedding song but people still be rocking them at the good weddings that I bartend at… Ummm how did I get on the wedding theme?!?!? hmmm. this is DJ Tommy Bones and I really need for him to have more mixes since he is not blocked. He normally does the good house mixes, but this was a ‘Quiet Storm’ mix. Now I usually do NOT do sex songs at work. I can’t focus on ooohhing and ahhing AND try and get my daggone work done…There musta been an angel by side!!! Sade interrupted me right quick.

Ok so this was definitely what I needed today. It’s been a mellow day not to many calls, but this week has been one for the books. I have to say I do get along with my supervisor which is a great thing, but she gave me my freaking review and that put me in a mood. I don’t know what it is but I have always ALWAYS always hated reviews. I want you to tell me my flaw right then and there don’t wait til a year later to say I screwed something up back in April. I guess because I have worked everywhere for every type of person I’m just always on edge with what they are going to say ESPECIALLY if it ties into me getting some more money which we all could use a little more, right?!?? And I am not a people pleaser which may work to my detriment. Only here lately have I learned it’s ok to not tell you where you can shove whatever it is that may need shoving. I just keep it to myself and vent with my friends who allow me to vent and keep it moving!

Chris Rock who dropped out in 9th or 10th grade… actually I’m not sure how his mother who I thought was really strict allowed that to happened but anyway he had this bit where he said there is a difference between a job and a career. I think he used to wash dishes at like Red Lobster or something… and having done my stint there I know how it is. Although my Red Lobster had the most hoodiest people working for and coming through where folks thought no matter how expensive the meal or how hard they ran me, 2 bucks was a good tip!! Man I had fun though!! After having been fired from my 1st job (LOL) for reasons I still scratch my head about… I mean I know but I kinda don’t really know. I went to the dreary unemployment center where the walls were fake wood paneled and everything else was a dreary shade of brown including the people who were not all black folks. And then I got the bright idea to go down the street and apply at the Red Lobster. So I didn’t hear anything for like 3 days so I took my bold self to the restaurant during the lunch rush and demanded that I speak to the manager who hired me on the spot!! Trust me it has never worked like that again. But it was a job. Although what Chris Rock said is a job there are too many hours in the day… you look up and think you have worked 2 hours and only 15 minutes have passed. Whereas a career, there are not enough hours in the day to work on your ‘projects’. This week I have been thanking little baby Jesus when 3 rolls around because I can handle 2 more hours! Right now it is 3:39 and I can do a little under 1 ½ hours. It will be all good!! Red Lobster holds a lot of memories for me… most good including the date where he said order whatever you want on the menu! To which I gave a blank stare and thought IT’S RED LOBSTER DUDE!!! I know the intent was genuine he kept saying do you want a shrimp cocktail? Do you want a drink? Dates… ahh I remember those LOL. Then there was the time we almost got put out of the Red Lobster cause we were 3 drunk LOUD obnoxious chicks who had way to many bahama mamas!! I think our tip might been 3 bucks that night!!

I have started the mix again!! Aaliyah’s ‘At your best’. I miss the star she would have really become. She may have tripped up early and you got married at 15 but she was on a good path. She died too soon. I had to google her real quick she was a Capricorn!! Janet is on now.. ‘Funny How time Flies’ is on. NOW A new one by Eric Roberson… I gotta put my pennies together and get his new CD. I missed the 1st song, it was Vanessa Williams and Bobby Caldwell Honey (or baby) it’s cold outside. DeBarge!!! Time will reveal!!! In 5th grade you couldn’t tell me they weren’t the best group EVER!! As I have said before… I wanted to have beige babies with El!! Ok back to Seal… umm a kiss by rose on the GRAY?!?! I thought he was saying grave? Now you know I just googled the lyrics!! Reading the lyrics makes slightly more sense now!! Lawd I can be slow sometimes. Break of dawn by Michael Jackson. Sweet Thang original CHAKA version. Actually I’m just skipping through now… Amerie I forget the name. I have the Sweetest Love. Robin Thicke who I really do like but I need something more from him… I’m not sure what. Can you Stand the rain NE version!! Quiet Storm Smoky Robinson WHO I might add was on the SingOff and sang with the already offed Afro Blue… They were the best!!!

Ok I’m rambling now and getting tired of typing
