I HEARD HER IN MY HEAD

Ok, so I think it was....emmmm probably Sunday or Monday that I moved my daughter out of my room. I was cleaning my room and during the process I looked around and thought to myself "Yanno, I'd have a lot more space in here if her bassinet was in her room." So I moved that, then I thought to myself "Yanno, I'd have even more space if I moved her organizer in her room too." So I moved that. Now all that's left of her in my room is her Fisherprice Swing. I honestly thought the process of moving her out of our room was gonna be harder than it actually was. The first couple of nights I put her in her room and let her sleep in there...I think she only woke up once...when it got early (usually when she wakes up anyway) The first time I heard her cry, I was sleep and I jumped up and looked around my room. I remember thinking to myself "Why the hell does she sound so far away?" Ummmm, yea...her room is all way at the other end of the hall. I'm so used to her being in the room and hearing her cry loud and clear. But anyway, last night was the first night that she slept in her room while my husband was home (he works nights) and he sleeps with the fan on which makes it hard to hear.....anything. Right before we went to sleep, he was like "You better hear my baby if she cries." I was like..."Whatever I always hear her." So real early this morning she woke up...and I didn't hear her cry like I normally do. It was like I knew she was crying. I mean, I was so deep in sleep I think I was almost comatose...and I was having a really good dream at that. And...like I said my husband had the fan on, and out of nowhere I heard this cry in my head. It literally interrupted my dream. It sounded like an echo. I know I didn't hear her cause when I woke up I couldn't hear jack. But I got up and got out of bed and walked down the hall to her room and she was in her bassinet all curled up in the corner crying. I picked her up and took her to my room (our normal morning routine) and she went right back to sleep.

Lyfe (A VOICE THAT BURNS) Jennings

Ok, I wrote about one of my favorite singers, Alicia Keys....so I figured that since I just got the new Lyfe Jennings album I'd write about that too.

First I gotta go back to the beginning. His first CD I brought without hearing a single song, without knowing anything about him or what kind of music I would be listening to. I mean, he was holding a guitar on the album cover so for all I knew he could have been a country singer...but since I like all genres of music it really wouldn't have mattered anyway. I brought the CD because a fellow poet in my poetry group rant and raved about it. And I was curious....so when I was in Best Buy and saw that the album was only $9.99 I figured...what the hell, I can't go wrong for $10 bucks.

I got it home....downloaded it on to my computer and listened to every song. After listening to the CD, it really could have cost me $50 and I would have still felt like I was the one getting over. I don't care what nobody says....there ain't nobody out right now that can make yo ass feel good about being stuck up. Lol. I know that's wrong (especially coming from a law enforcement official) but whatever.

Ok, anyway on to this new CD. I think some artist because of all they've been through just get a pass at that whole sophomore jinx thing....I have a very good ear for music and this album WILL go platinum. This man has a voice that burns. Whenever I buy a CD and I really feel the lyrics to the songs, I always look to see if the artist wrote them because it's so easy to sing somebody else's words. I wasn't surprised to see that he wrote all his own stuff. Let's just be for real....Who else can write what you feel better than you.

So anyway, I say all this to say that although I'm sure everybody & Bush's momma has heard S.E.X but just incase somebody is reading this and happens to find themselves in a music store and sees this album....BUY IT! And you will be needing two, cause you gonna be mad as hell if one gets scratched.
