I know I've been pretty neglectful...
But I just HAD to tell y'all about how I just had a moment....lol.
And anyone who remotely knows me, knows that Raheem DeVaughn is my favorite artist....Ever. Yes....Ever. IDGAF about legends and old school or any of that shit..... He's the best in my eyes.
Well anyway, he followed me on Twitter today...May 17, 2011...at 10:13pm.
And I pretty much had a slight heart attack. Complete with hyperventilation and all that shit. ♥

Heavy Rotation ♥
I'm pretty sure I eat, sleep, and breathe music... mostly Raheem Devaughn lol...
But anywho, there are certain songs that I can't go a day without listening to, so I thought I'd share some with you guys from time to time! All week, I've re-discovered my auditory love affair with the song Mr. Incredible, Ms. Unforgettable by Leela James (featuring Raheem Devaughn).... yes, the combination is as amazing as you think. I adore them both, so clearly this song is like an eargasm for me. The first verse (lyrics below) is too sweet for words... Here's a YT link if you've never heard the song! (it's not an actual music video, but you can hear the song). Enjoy.♥

(Raheem) If I could write a letter to your heart,
I'd start by saying that we'll never part,
And please...say that you'll be mine
Until the end of time.
(Leela) If I were a lock, I'd let you be the key
To unlock all of this love in me,
To unlock all of this ecstasy,
And if you think that I'm worried...
Let your mind be rest assured.

Day 9--Letter to Someone I Wish I Could Meet. ♥
Disclaimer: If you've ever read my blog, you should already KNOW who this letter is gonna be addressed to! Lol!
To the Musical Love of My Life,
Once again, every word in this letter's gonna be about You...I love you!! Of course I've already written one letter to you in this blog challenge, and I don't know if it's against the "rules" to write to the same person twice or more, but oh well... There's no one else alive that I'd rather meet! Yes, I know there's Barack Obama and such, but I'll keep it real... I'd still rather meet you! I'd be Lying to Myself if I said anything different! Lol. I wish people could understand how much I adore you! Not even on an attraction level (don't get me wrong, you're mad cute!!) but just musically... No one has my attention the way you do! I could tell you how I feel about you Night and Day! They don't feel me, though! Lol.
I was so sad that I couldn't go to your concert earlier this month, but one day... one day! Until then, I'll stick to the musical orgasm I have every day of my life (no, literally) when I hear your voice in my headphones, on my laptop, or in my car. Words can't express how amazing I think you are, in the least groupie-ish way possible! Lol. If I met you and you sang to me, I'd probably faint and fall on my ass like Ashley in that one episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Tevin Campbell came to her party lmao! That would seriously be thee best thing ever, though! Anywho, I'm so happy you're getting all the success you deserve, and I hope it continues! I'll profess my love for you 'til the end of my days! Yes, it's really that serious! Lmao!
Love Always,
Your Number One (again) ♥
PS: For your listening enjoyment... I can't let an hour go by without listening to this song! If you aren't hip, you better get hip with thee quickness!

Day 8--Letter to My Favorite Internet Friend ♥
Dear CY,
I feel so bad, the day is almost over and I'm just now doing this post! (it was a long day lol)...but luckily I didn't even have to contemplate, because of course this letter goes to you! Not just because you wrote your letter to me, either! I just love what you're all about... your posts have always been either funny, sweet, inspirational, or some amazing combination of the above! Plus you have great taste in music...and anyone who appreciates real music is alright with me! (PS, can I just say how jealous I am that everyone I LOVE in music right now--Raheem DeVaughn and Wale, for those who STILL aren't aware-- are both from your neck of the woods??? Lol) I love watching your natural hair journey (BTW, thanks for the YT recommendations!), and reading your hilarious tweets! Even though we've never met a day in life, I can tell that you're just a genuinely cool person, with a great head on her shoulders...one who would be welcome into my circle of friends any day! I'll give a shout out to both your pages, on Blogger and on Tumblr. Anyone who's reading this, check her out. She's this, that, and all of the above...wrapped in a cute, stylish lil' package!
Love Always,
LovePeaceCurls! ♥

Day 2--Letter to My Crush.♥
Although our eyes have never met, your lips have spoken volumes to my soul.
YOU make me smile with my heart...
YOU help me weather the stormy days, when love feels like it's slipping through my fingers.
YOU get my day started, whenever I just want to roll over and block the world out.
I'm glad I can say,
That I've had my Love Experience...
You've changed my world, before I even knew what you looked like...
Now that I know, my world is even further modified.
And now...
Every word in this letter's gonna be about YOU.
It's more than a crush,
Maybe this letter shouldn't even be dedicated to YOU.
It won't do justice to the complex simplicity that is our bond.
And each day...
My love multiplies for you...
So guess who loves you more?
It might sound like I'm gassin' ya...
But YOU deserve it,
Because you've got me....
Thanking...
God...
For YOU.
And even though you'll probably never know,
This letter is my confession...
That I don't think life will ever be the same for me
Without
You.
Signed,
Your Number One.♥
Believe♥
"I ain't like them others you done dealt with in your past....
Just have some faith,
That's all I ask...
Believe in Me."

Pacing & Embracing ♥
Hey guys!!
I've missed you! I've been soooooo neglectful to my blog as of late...but school is out for the summer (smh) so hopefully I'll be back on track lol! Other than busting my toosh to get this degree (4 months til graduation!!), I've been busting my toosh at work, living life, breakin' hearts, etc. etc. Lol. My birthday was a week ago, and for once, I actually "feel" my new age. 22 is definitely not as carefree as 21 and 20 were, but I've made it this far...why think about giving up now? With a new year under my belt, comes new experiences to look forward too, new success stories to write, new places to go, new people to meet, and new things to do. I'm pacing myself and embracing it all as it comes... So I just finished up my last two finals, and I'm looking forward to a fun weekend. It's like birthday celebration part two for me {in my current town, since last weekend I went to my hometown for my actual birthday!} and icing on the cake? My love is coming up to spend a week or so with me. He just finished up summer school too, in Iowa, so I'm grateful to be getting some QT with my cu-tie before we start back up for the Fall semester in our respective locations. The visit is especially good, because it took my mind off the fact that I missed Raheem DeVaughn's concert in my hometown today! *siggghhhhhh* I wrote a tweet about how I wasn't going, but that I'd be there in spirit since I love me some Rah...and guess what? Raheem DeVaughn retweeted me!!! I know I sound like Dorky McGroupie right now, but I promise I was soooooo excited when I saw it lol. Don't judge me. I just adore that guy!
That's pretty much it for now... I, the eternal insomniac, am up at 1am cleaning my bathroom and kitchen...I wanna vacuum my apartment but I'm trying to be considerate ofthe potheads downstairs my downstairs neighbors! TTYL, my loves!

Oh Yeah...♥
I'll be 22 in 29 days... suggestions for birthday celebration? I don't even have any idea what I want to do. I'm pretty boring. Lol. Well, I'd prefer the term mellow...but whatev. Anyway, what I DO know is that the love of my musical life {who you should know by now} will be in Cleveland {my hometown} on August 5th. Granted he'll be a few days shy of my birthday, but I'll take it! I've never seen him in concert before {SMH} but I will be in attendance. Please believe it.
Random side note: Have you ever listened to the live version of Jill Scott's "Gettin in the Way" from her Experience album? The commentary at the end of the song is hilarious.... lol.

Spring Break! ♥
I'm officially on Spring Break...as of this past Thursday evening.
I'm loving it! I plan on doing absolutely nothing...well, besides the few days I have to work, which I won't complain about since this skeezer FINALLY got the ax resigned from her position. Life IS indeed good...
Anywho, since I already took my lil' mini vacation (lol) I'm just maxxin and relaxxin...listening to the new Raheem DeVaughn ,shuffled in with the old, forever-emblazoned-in-my-heart Raheem, of course. I don't know what it is about that man's voice but it does warm, fuzzy, heart-fluttery things to me...and I love it! In the car, at home, wherever! That's called quality music...I know I used this pic in my Valentine's Day post, but I think it's so adorable that it's definitely worth posting again lol :-)
I'm currently working on an essay about how the Black Family is under/misrepresented in the media, and how this under/misrepresentation is effecting upcoming generations, which are coincidentally ALL wrapped up in the media. It's a topic that just kinda came to me, as I was looking at a photograph of this gorgeous, young married couple I know. It's crazy because if one were to rely on the media's representation of Black Love, they'd be led to believe that...well...there is no love. We're just a bunch of unwed, unloved, unloving babymamas/daddies running rampant. There ARE loving relationships among a lot of Black people. There ARE couples who marry, and raise beautiful families, and live the so-called American dream. But again, one would never know that if they relied on the media's representation of our people. So...yeah. I'm excited to write about such a topic.

OnMyRadio♥
I feel like music should make you fall in love again everytime you hear it... Or, at least your favorite music. Some stuff just serves a specific purpose. I have music that I only have on my iPod to keep me awake in the car when I have an early class or work shift, or when I have a long drive...I have stuff on there that I strategically add just to appease others who may ride in my car with me, because I absolutely refuse to subject myself to the radio, so I feel the need to compromise. Apparently everyone can't appreciate my mix of Jay-Z, Coltrane, Paramore, Jill Scott, Backstreet Boys, etc. That's fine, though. Lol.
With that said, I love being at home because I have the freedom of my iTunes library. I don't have to pick and choose what I listen to... I just let it play. Of late, I've had a few things in heavy rotation:
♥Love Jones soundtrack
♥All of Raheem Devaughn's albums...yes, I'm officially addicted.

Spotlight: Raheem DeVaughn♥♥♥♥♥
But you really need to get to know him. Or at least his music.
Raheem DeVaughn is amazing.
That is all.
PS: I've had his song "Bulletproof" on repeat for weeks. Love it. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, here it is...
