photography by RossinaBossioB

Looking back at the year in music is like going to the grocery store and looking at the fruits and vegetables selection. A lot of different varieties of apples, oranges and tomatoes just to name a few. Very much like music in 2007, there is little of everything for someone’s taste. Some things good, some things not so good. Focusing on the good stuff, lets feast on this in no particular order of course.

As we get closer to 2008 this same topic is still being discussed on television, magazines, hip hop magazines and even between friends. And to be honest, there is no right or wrong answer.

Dear MySpace, I am Moving to Facebook

Dear MySpace,

This is just to let you know that I will be vacating the premises at the end of the month. It has been great living here for the past 2 years. I am moving to a new community which is easier on my load times, where the washer and dryer (*cough applications) actually work and where more of my friends are moving to as well. I know I probably won’t get my safety deposit back since I messed up the code and decorated the place all weird, but that’s ok because it was my fault. I’m just glad that my new place I am moving to doesn’t allow me to do that.

Oh and by the way, my sister is graduating from middle school and I was wondering if she could Read more

Rocky Inspiration

Did you know that Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky himself?

If you have 9 minutes and 21 seconds to spare right now, you should peep this clip. It is not only entertaining, but it is truly inspirational. I’ve heard bits and pieces of this story before, but never summed up like this. Tony Robbins talks about how Stallone got Rocky made.
