One thing that I recently purchased that I'm totally in love with is a new product from iHome Audio called

it's the first clock radio/ipod charger/speakers built specifically for the ipod. I love waking up to whateva in the hell I want too!

M.I.A

My daughter asked if I would purchase this CD for her - so I stopped her by CD Addict and picked up a used copy for her. She asked if she could listen to it on the way home - I cringed and said "I guesssss" She popped it in and I thought dang this shit is pretty good! By the time we got home, I said, "girl let me hold that CD so I can put it on my ipod!

Missy

Not impressed!

R Kelly

R Kelly has done it again. Even though I vowed not to support his efforts after the "peeing on the girl" incident - you can't deny the fact that the man makes excellent music.

Ying Yang Twins

Disappointed. With the exception of maybe three songs, this album has a lot to be desired.

I just want to take a moment to say thanks for all the calls and posts in response to the loss of my mother.  This is a difficult time for me and your warm condolences have helped me to get through the last six days.  I thought I would share snippets of my mother's obituary:



"Born November 4, 1941 in Montgomery, AL to the late parents of Mr. Jack and Mrs. Jessie Jones in Minden, Louisiana. Mrs. Washington fought a long, strong battle against cancer with the same diligence she used in life. She departed to her new home with Jesus Christ on Saturday night, July 9, 2005".

"Mrs. Washington was a dedicated federal government employee for over 16 years in which she worked for the US Air Force Academy, US Air Force Strategic Air Command, United States Postal Service, NORAD, Social Security and VA Hospital among other government entities. She wed SGT Willie T. Washington who preceded her in death. Mrs. Washington leaves to cherish her memory, her children, Kevin, Forsythia and granddaughter Tori; and a host of other relatives and friends. Memorial service will be held Saturday, July 16, 2005, 11:00 a.m."

"You will be greatly missed, but our loss is Heaven's gain"

I love you mom!
