The summer's coming...

The summer's coming and I need a "vacation" spot to run away to. The cruise my fellow friends and I were supposed to go on is no longer. Since my dear friend is in Japan, it's better to take advantage of free lodging and transportation while its available, so I should be bringing in the New Year (or around that time) in Yokota which is down the street from Tokyo. I'm left with a summer (month or so) with no destination to go to. One suggestion thrown around was Orlando, but that's almost a given considering the distance. I need a place to go, preferably with friends so I can let go and have some knee-slappin fun! So suggestions are highly welcomed.

I'd like to reaffirm the statement "everyday you learn something new"....I learned the other day that Bobby Valentino (Mr. "Slow Down" himself) is a former member of one of the greatest boy groups of the mid 90's. Yes, I was and still am a BIG fan of Mista! I'm not afraid to admit that I still listen to the CD, in the car, on the iPod, on the iTunes! I am Mista's #1 fan, almost 10 years later. Learning this great news has now made me a fan of Bobby V. I liked the song from the beginning, but now I find myself interested in wanting to not only download the CD, but also purchase it. Wow, the last time I did that...."Damita Jo" was still in the box at Best Buy and I was standing there waiting on them to place the first copy on the shelf. What's wrong with me?!?!

Speaking of music, while I'm on the topic. I'm way over due on the review of Amerie's new CD "Touch". On a scale of 1-10, I'll give it an 8. Compared to the first CD, I'll give it a 6. Am I too harsh on my judging....maybe. Or maybe it just has to grow on me. We'll see. I do like a couple of songs and have listened to them quite frequently since I downloaded the album. "Just Like Me", "Falling", "Touch", and one other that I can't recall (so maybe it wasn't as good as I originally thought if I can't recall it). Anyway, those are my thoughts....let me know what you think...

It's the weekend baby...
