In other news, a friend of mine is doing what she can to help the fight against breast cancer. She has set a goal to sell 40 pair of earrings in 19 days with 100% of the proceeds going to ABCD (After Breast Cancer Diagnosis)
I need a minute to catch my breath. I think Em says it best at this point. He’s right. It is time to exercise these demons. Game on bitches~
I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road
Yeah, It’s been a ride…
I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you’re trying to get out, just follow me
I’ll get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay ‘em
But you won’t take this thing out these words before I say ‘em
Cause ain’t no way I’m let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say ‘em or do something I do it, I don’t give a damn
What you think, I’m doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it’s gassed up, if a thing’s stopping me
I’mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I’m tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts don’t try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he’s still shit’n
Whether he’s on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shit’s his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He’s married to the game, like a fuck you for christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he’s got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the universe
I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road
Ok quit playin’ with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn’t have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it’s a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you’re getting capped
And to the fans, I’ll never let you down again, I’m back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let’s be honest, that last Relapse CD was “ehhhh”
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain’t going back to that now
All I’m tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
Cause I ain’t playin’ around
There’s a game called circle and I don’t know how
I’m way too up to back down
But I think I’m still tryna figure this crap out Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn’t
This fucking black cloud still follow’s me around
But it’s time to exercise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road
And I just can’t keep living this way
So starting today, I’m breaking out of this cage
I’m standing up, Imma face my demons
I’m manning up, Imma hold my ground
I’ve had enough, now I’m so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And don’t even realise what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise
To focus soley on handling my responsibility’s as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldn’t lift a single shingle on it
Cause the way I feel, I’m strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I’m raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I’m too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and
I’m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel that you’ve been down the same road

How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form
Water’s getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be allright
If I’d see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And know everything will be allright
And know everything is allright
I know you didn’t bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I’m so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything would be allright
If I’d see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And know everything will be allright
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And know everything will be allright
And know everything is allright
Everything is allright
because even being hated for who I truely am is worth a random dance party
“Forgot about Dre”: Eminem & Dr Dre
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin to say
But nothin comes out when they move their lips;
Just a bunch of gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about dre
Even though some people give you no respect
Be intelligent, when you put em in check
Cause when you’re ignorant, you get treated that way
And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I’m a woman
Call me a bitch cause I speak what’s on my mind
Guess it’s easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
** Pick ten events or periods in your life – past, present, future or even imaginary – and pick a song you think would be appropriate to be playing during that event. (Y’know – like in the movies.)
** This can be in list form or written as a story or bullets with commentary – whatever you want. They can be standard milestones or monumental surprises or ridiculously mundane events. Use mine, or make up your own. Song choices can be funny or poignant or spine chilling or tear inducing. You pick – it’s your life. (cue Billy Joel) Consider it a writing prompt and go bananas. (Adding the actual songs totally optional!)
** Post your “Soundtrack Masterpiece” on your own Blog or on our Forum today or sometime this week – just sign up below in the Mr. Linky Magical Widget thingy with the link to wherever you put it…y’know, so we can find it. Comment today if you’re doing it later, though – so we know to come back and check. (A link back here from your blog would be sa-weeet, too, so others can play!)

She is her mother’s daughter and not just by attitude.
The PIT (Princess in training OR punk in training, depends on the day) has great taste in music like her mama…
She has a passion for music…all kinds of music…which got me to thinking…
If the PIT’s life had a soundtrack….it would go a lil somethin like this~
She’s had a keen sense of style from the start.
I remember my little monster being 10 months old and terrorizing the dogs but every time that Cadillac commercial came on…the ones featuring Zeppelin’s “Black Dog”...the PIT would literally drop everything, turn to the tv and start to bounce in place which I *think* is baby code for dancing.
Around 12 months old she was a sucker for anything Sean Paul.
She would be bop along to the reggae remix over and over again and if you shut it off…she screamed.
Don’t mess with the girls tunes
When we first moved to the city and had an hour commute together she fell in love with Janis Joplin and in no time was singing “Take another piece of my heart” at the top of her lungs.
Still one of her favorites…
She was the flower girl at Aunties wedding and thus had the honor of choosing the first song at the wedding dance. Her pick?
She *looks* innocent enough...
“Earl had to die” Makes sense at a wedding right?! She STILL knows every flipping word to that song..it’s adorable.
She used to sing “Aint no holla back gurl” and instead of saying “this shit is bananas” the PIT would say “Going to my nanas”.
Thanks to a weekend watching the Goonies..she will forever be a Cindi Lauper fan. After all…girls just wanna have fun~
And every once in a while she will request “that boot up your ass song” I don’t see the need to tell her what Toby Keith really titled the song..

You’ve got the Love by Florence and the Machine
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying “Lord I just don’t care”
But you’ve got the love I need To see me through
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through
When food is gone you are my daily meal
When friends are gone I know my saviour’s love is real
Your love is real
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Time after time I think “Oh Lord what’s the use?”
Time after time I think it’s just no good
Sooner or later in life, the things you love you loose
But you got the love I need to see me through
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying “Lord I just don’t care”
But you’ve got the love I need to see me through
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
