Music Review – McBealisms, Tebow and Because ? Said So

A discussion could be heard from one aisle over at the grocery store.

“Can we buy the Cap’n Crunch Mom?” questioned the child.

“Not today,” replied his mother.

“But, WHY?!” he whined.

Remember when that answer was enough? Yeah. Me neither. [...]

Music Review – Rob Lowe, National Doughnut Day and You Are

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

Music Review – Finales, Fighters and Hearing vs. Listening

Music Review – Stevifer, Doritos Max and Love

“The Most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in.” – Morrie Schwartz

That’s right. This one is all about feelin’ the love. If you are of the black heart mindset, think Valentine’s Day is a “Hallmark Holiday” or don’t like discussions about love, you better [...]

Music Review – Disney, Bachelor Brad and Scars

“Scars remind us where we’ve been. They don’t have to dictate where we’re going.” – Criminal Minds
I told you I watch that show for a reason other than to scare myself silly.

More often than not, the scars that cannot be seen come from a much more heartbreaking and cruel place than the [...]
