Funky Poets

 So, when I was in maybe 5th grade, I remember getting the movie soundtrack Free Willy for Christmas since I liked that movie when I was 10. Anyway, one of the songs on the soundtrack was performed by an R&B/hip hop band called Funky Poets. And I do remember listening to the song on soundtrack and I guess I always wondered what the guys from that group looked like. I thought when hearing them singing that song, "How Can You Leave Me Now", I thought one of the guys sounded kinda cute. So out of curiousity, I looked them up on the internet and on youtube, just to see what they looked like.It's too bad that they didn't get more recognition in the music business than what they did. They don't even have anything about them on Wikipedia. Anyway, when I looked them up on youtube, they don't have a music video for their song off that movie soundtrack. They do however have a couple of music videos by them on there, though. The one music video I like by them is "Born in the Ghetto" because you can kinda see who in the group sings what. I have to say, I thought a lot of those guys in the video were pretty good looking for being African American guys back in the day. But if they were in their 20's back then, they'd be in their 50's by now. 

I can't help but think one of the guys in the music video kinda looks like my late former boyfriend's late friend, Adam Tritz, just the way his face is shaped. He basically kinda looks like what Adam would look like if Adam was a person of color. I think it's also just the style of music and the way the guys are dressed in the music video that reminds me of Jason's late friend, Adam, who unfortunately ODed from Fentanyl and heroin back in 2016. Seeing this music video by Funky Poets just makes me wish that both Jason and Adam Tritz were still here. I know I'd watch the music video on youtube when Jason was still here, but was never able to have him watch it with me and tell him this, but wish I had been able to while he was still here. Now that they're gone, seeing this video makes me wish they were still here today. But at the same time,  I know what Jason would say about that. He'd say that his friend would hate that, because he was supposedly racist. What I don't understand is how can you like rap music and be racist? That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Again, this reminds me of Jason's friend, Adam Tritz, just because something about either the genre, or how the guys are dressed in the video, and how one of the members look just reminds me of Jason's late friend Adam, Tritz. RIP 1983-2016

Good stuff that's happened so far as of 1/5/2017

So what's happened so far, this year: 1. At the start of the year, got $500.00 to deposit into my account so that I have more money for the month to help me just get by. 2. 3 days later I got my new debit card in the mail 3. Might be getting a new job in Waukesha, real soon. (hope this one works out a lot better than my last one) 4. Days are getting longer and lighter out after 5pm. (of course you don't really notice it more until after the first 7 to 9 days of the month) 5. After this week and last week of temperatures being below 20 degrees outside, we're finally going to have a bit of a "January thaw out". Basically what's going to happen is after this week, temperatures are going to get back into the 20's and 30's. I can live with winter weather being in the 20's and 30's, but anything under 20 is too cold! 6. We've been invited to Minnesota to see some relatives. (Sure hope Jason can go, and that we can find someone to take car...

it's been a while

Ok, all I have to say, is that it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. LOL! I've just been busy with just trying to enjoy the summer as much as I could. I can't believe it's over now. I think it went by too fast, if you ask me. And one of my all time favorite holidays is coming up. That's right. Halloween. This last weekend, Jeremae and her boyfriend, Tim, finally got married, so Jason and I went up to spend some quality time with her. I really honestly wish she and Tim were living closer than they do. We could have so much fun doing so many fun things together. I mean, I'm just chalked full of ideas on what kind of things we could maybe do together. One idea is going to a club or bar somewhere in Milwaukee or something like that and dancing the night away, although we're now either in our late 20's and early 30's.  Especially when there's this one song I've been dancing to, called "Wobble Baby". Damn that song is ...

stuff

Well, tonight I'm hopefully going to be heading to my storage unit/Motel room/apartment that I'm suppose to be living in. As far as I'm concerned, it's just Friday and Saturday Night home away from home. I sure wish that when I'm over there I could have my computer and internet set up. Maybe that way I'd say there, more. But with my computer being at parent's house as well as the internet and cable access, and with the fact I have no Hot water in my apartment, it's the only thing that keeps me coming back to their house. What I've been wanting to do is go over the lyrics to Sarah Mclachlan's song, "Possession", and say what sounds kinda creepy, like not just something a stalker would say but someone who's abusive might also say, and just pick certain parts of the song apart to see if maybe that's what she means when she says certain parts in the song, like the chorus part, for example that goes, "And I would be the one to h...
