SONG OF THE WEEK

This weeks song of the week comes from one of my all time favorite bands, Coheed & Cambria. They just recently dropped there 5th studio album entitled "Year Of The Black Rainbow" on Tuesday, and its a amazing album full of emotion, adventure, and insite of the characters that Claudio Sanchez has created in this saga known as The Amory Wars... The song I chose is my favorite song from the album, titled "Far." "Far" is a song t hat fits the story's never ending search of love, in the midst of the inevitable end to come to the world. And the latest album is the prequel to the entire story that started with "Second Stage Turbine Blade."

A little trivia going along with this song, Back when Coheed was working on there 3rd full length album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume I: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness"(yes... that is the albums title...), The band was going through a lot of personal crisis, with the loss of a dear family member and band therapist, stress with the rising fame, and loss of love, it was an album that Claudio wrote with his, now wife, in mind... And Welcome Home was written just for her... How scary is that?! But this song, is the combination of his love for her, and a testament of how much they have endured as a couple while in this great band...

Far is an emotionally gripping song, that allows the listener to be placed into the emotional battle of love ever-lasting from one to his love... Its rides upon a drum part that I think is a great reputation of that feeling of love one may get with a hard yet soft pounding of the heart, as you come to that point of emotion. Fallowed by beautiful yet slightly haunting lyrics stating that "no matter the distance" our love will ultimately endure, "no matter how far." Great melody, beautiful harmonies with lyric and string... its definitely a fave of mines... enjoy :)

The World Will ALWAYS Get What It Wants...

I dare you to find one person in the entire world who likes the world "no." And I will find you someone who is a liar just for the benefit of feeling in power... Its a word that has lost its power... No one wants to hear it anymore, and no one expects to hear it... Once we are old enough to actually know the power of "no," we don't wanna hear it anymore... so, when someone asks you to go up and beyond the call of duty... you wanna say no, but sometimes, the lay on a thick layer of guilt to where you cant do anything but say "yes." Its fucked up... Cause, if you're the last hope of the world... you don't have any power to say "no." And now a days, its as if that right is being taken away from you for fear of loosing your job, loosing respect or even loosing reputation... but being the man that I am, I cant allow myself to have the world go wrong, so, I'm usually always stepping up, while everyone else is out and about doing whatever and turning off there phones or ignoring the calls, all the while, the good guy with the big heart gets placed back on the whipping post for more of a back-ripping good ole time! But the word "no" is becoming a dirtier word than "nigger", "stupid", or any other word that is common place in today's society. No one has the power to neglect anymore... its there way or the highway... Yes. I know I just used an old cliche... so what. Kill me... Anyways, I think that the power of "no" is loosing its grip... Without "no," Rosa Parks would be sitting in the back seat, Without "no," Neo would have been shot up with all them bullets in the Matrix, and wouldn't be alive to kill Agent Smith... Yeah, my small attempt of humor... But seriously, without the word "no" Tienanmen Square wouldn't have been a blood bath... The word "no" is powerful, but its being abused just like every heart that hangs on every sleeve... It sucks but its true. So, don't go off abusing hearts that hangs on sleeves... Goodnight, and Ill talk to y'all soon.

Dear Big Women,

I know that you are a confident and beautiful woman, and you arent going to allow the world to tell you what to wear, but what you wear, may be telling you no... If you know that its too tight, too small, too short, or doesnt fit quite right, then its not to be worn in public... I know and understand that you are trying to give yourself some sort of motivation to feel sexy, but feeling sexy may require you wearing a bigger size shirt, skirt, or shoe... So, I beg you with all sincereity, and hope that you will see that I am writing this with your reputation on mind... Seriously, I dont think that its sexy to wear tights that shows me a model of the moon face... I know what it looks like, and I dont need it moving around in front of me while you walk... so, please, just wear something thats not that revealing, and that isnt, for the love of my sanity, and sleep that I lack, form-fitting... YOU AINT SKINNY!!! DEAL WITH IT!!! DRESS APPROPRIATELY!!! PLEASE!!! there you go. I love you. Stay sexy. :)

With all the love I can muster up...,

Jolly Green

SONG OF THE WEEK

This is probably the most excited I have ever been to share the song of the week... This week song has quickly become one of my favorite songs, and only because its a song that can save a life. Its fast paced, it has meaningful and beautiful lyrics, and its beautifully song, by one of (soon to be) the greatest neo-funk, neo-soul, r&b, afro-punk singers, in the world. Cold War by Janelle Monae is a song that goes along with the story of Cindi Maywheather, an android who is on the run in Metropolis for falling in love with a human... and after being on the run for a while, she is starting to become a monster. The story is greatly explained in the new album, due to release May 18th called "The Archandroid." But this song is probably one of the most passionate songs I have ever heard. And Janelle sings it beautifully. Seeing it played live also sparks the imagination that she injects with such a lively and beautiful stage show, full of sound, dance, and a flying pompadour hair style. So, without further adu... Cold War.

Bite your tongue, and quinch your thirst with your blood...

Lately, there has been a lot of people saying a lot of things, and a lot of different issues, that either does, or doesn't concern them and there daily lives... People who has a hate for someones religion, political views, or whatever, has something to say... they ALWAYS have something to say... but, the day will come when the quiet ones, will have something to say eventually... So, with all those extremely passionate people who likes to drag there hate, there doubt, and convictions down to there level, regardless of beliefs or disbelieves, keep talking... Its always funny to see how some people like to think outside the box, but loves to drag people outside of theres. I have my beliefs, and I have my convictions and passions, but I know my place, and I know my time will come to virtually tell everyone to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! But until then, I will just keep myself entertained by the masses of dumb asses and assholes, who knows everything... who knows whats real and what isn't, whats imaginary or whats fake... Those who love to drag the life out of the party... Well, eventually, those who has kept there quiet this entire time, will have something to say... So, once someone, ANYONE gets in your face about whatever they believe or don't believe, you give them the respect you lack to give them, by getting in there face about whatever, give them the time of day, that you stole from them with your nonsense... Fair is fair... and I know my time will come. I know that the quiet ones time will come... So keep your ears open.

SONG OF THE WEEK

Well, I picked this week song, not because of its meaning, but with a rough week for a lot of my friends, and even a rougher day for them today, this is just my way of letting them know that, it doesnt take death for them to realize that happiness is actually achievable... I dont even care if they like, or wanna believe, but This song, has been a favorite of mines for a LONG LONG time... With it being Easter, and My Jesus, died for me, and came back to life, to show us that Death is nothing to be feared ever again, I figured that this song would be perfect. Now, I would love for all of yall to give this song a listen, but I know that you probably wont, but this song, is soul-clensing, smile inducing, and just a fresh breath of air for the soul, causeit talks about the trueness of forgiveness... We all fuck up, we all do stupid shit, and ask feel as if "Gods not gonna forgive me this time," but guess what... he will... He ALWAYS will... but reguardless of if you believe or not, keep asking questions... find people who are reputable, and actually able to answer those questions for you. So, without any further words, here is "God Of A Second Chance," sung by Juanita Bynum... Not sure what chior thats singing with her, but its awesome. :) Enjoy

Of That Which Stands Out

A sad thing is happening in society today, and its one that kinda makes me cringe and get angry. its the fact that there is no originality in beauty anymore... Everyone wants to be just like, that band, that actor, that model, that athlete, or that whatever... It appears that our generation has been so saturated with the past, that originality no longer exists, and if it does, its countered it being considered "weird" or "crazy" or whatever... Originality now-a-days, is honestly, hard to find. Cause, in the days of having the popular opinion, be the opinion of the masses, regardless of if they research it or not, doesn't give anyone any type of originality... So, what happened to originality? When and where did being yourself, truly yourself, die off? There are sects of originality out there in the world, for sure... I'm not saying that originality has died off, I'm just saying, that in my world, its hard to come by sometimes. When jokes aren't funny anymore, when old is paper thin, and when new is just remade, wheres the originality? I just hate seeing the same things over and over again, I hate being told the same things over and over again, but it seems to be the most popular thing to do. More or less, its just the fact that there isn't any leaders anymore... Its nothing but followers, and no one who wanna take the lead. That is exactly whats wrong with this country... There ain't a leader out there... All there is, are talkers, and hype-movers... No one to actually step up and say something to the "powers at be." I mean, these are the leaders that we elected, these are the people in our circles that are killing themselves, but are we killing ourselves with them, and biting on the lies they are forcing down our throats... And, ya know, I refuse to bite... I refuse to be in "the 'IN' crowd." And ya know, I honestly rather be miserable, and unaccepted by everyone, sitting outside in the cold with my same glass of water, and my stale piece of bread, than to sit at the table full of everything that I wanted, with all the liars and shit sellers in all the world... cause with everyone just wanting to hear what they wanna hear, there goes all originality. No one wants to think for themselves, just give them the ear candy they want, and they melt in your hands like M&Ms... Seriously... the thing that made us such a great country is being lost... and the originality is dying out in all corners of life. And all the important things in life is loosing its touch cause of the lack of "outside of the box" thinkers. Why do I say that? Well, have you seen or heard the bullshit that they have been selling and telling lately? Have you seen whats in style? Have you heard anything positive or relative come from the news lately? Has anything been funny but not in a sad way? Have you been really happy without the help of narcs, or alcohol? Has your faith brought you happiness, or have you allowed your faith hold you down? Have you given up on faith all together? Have your search been fruitful? How long have you had that mask on? How long have you had your ear plugs in? Lets try to make the our personal worlds individually original... In that originality, we can all learn how to actually accept each other... and be able to better formulate ideas that may work for the greater good... Just something to think about. I'm going to bed now.... good night.
