Numb to Disappointment
How to feel when you can’t feel anymore.
When you’re suppose to feel emotion but you can’t express it.
When you’re suppose to cry but your eyes and mind won’t let you release those tears.
When you’re suppose to yell but your mouth won’t open.
When the disappointment is just…a numb feeling.
When You don’t care and nothing can come as a surprise at this point.
When people show you who they are…believe them.
When you see history repeating itself and all you can do is shake your head and move on.
When the unacceptable actions are countless…don’t be mad or sad, just be glad that you witnessed it and that you didn’t let those actions effect you anymore.
The disappointment will eventually…be numb.

War & Leisure: Album Review
R&B, Neo-soul artist Miguel dropped his fourth album titled War & Leisure on Friday. I’ve been listening to it nonstop sense then. The album features Rick Ross, Travis Scott, Quiñ, Kali Uchis, and the talented J.Cole whom he has other singles with like “Power Trip” and “All I Want Is You”.
This album is so….Miguel. From the instrumentals to the ad-libs to his recognizable voice. He’s got sexy songs, inspiration songs, fessing up songs and even a full blown Spanish song on the album. We all have been waiting since his last album was released in 2015. He’s been teasing us with covers on social media and he’s FINALLY released an album.
As I said before, you can definitely here the instrumentals on this album, specifically the guitar. You can tell that Prince is/was a big part of his inspiration. Also, over time, Miguel’s image was slowly changed and that comes with growth; but with that growth, music never dies. He may go MIA for a while but when he comes from hiding, it’s like he never left.

If you like different melodies, with guitar instrumentals, feeling different vibes, then I encourage you to listen to this exotic album. My only critic is, I would have loved for it to be longer, like three more songs would have been good.
I give it 5 stars: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The Face Behind CS Productions
One of my good friends, Charles Staten Jr., from college had the opportunity to be featured in a DreamWorks Animations article. He’s been “From Trouble to Corporate Deals” as the article titles it; by getting his big break from recording a couples wedding dance a year ago in Dallas, TX, whom which are alumni of my school, Missouri State University. He posted the video and within hours he had over one million views and from there it’s been nothing but success. He has since started his own production company “CS Productions” and has been granted other deals and opportunities. I’m glad to say that I know this funny, talented guy.

Thanksgiving Disrespect: Black “Thursday”
So i’ve noticed for the past four plus years that these Black Friday sales have gotten out of control. Sales use to start at midnight on Friday and in recent years…they’re starting ON Thanksgiving, TF?
It’s been said that black Friday was recognized in the 1860s when Southern plantation owners could by slaves (Black people) at a discounted price. Along with that came public humiliation and even more disrespect towards black people. What is considered an “official” story/origin of black Friday is when retail owners would profit (going black) during Black Friday and holiday season but have losses ( go red) all year around.
Once upon a time ago, Black Friday sales started on thee actual Friday, but it’s crept it’s way into Thanksgiving, starting at 8 PM, to 7 PM, to 6 PM, and to 5 friggin PM! How are you suppose to enjoy your time with your family for Thanksgiving if you have to go early Christmas shopping in the middle of your Thanksgiving dinner? Now, I know all families are different but in the black community, 6 PM is when people are still eating, playing bingo, spades, left right center and whatever other games that we play for the holidays. Who wants to cut their dinner short just to go in the store with hectic crazy people to get gifts? There is this famous contraption called the Internet where you can purchase items on line versus going in the store to buy them. 😯😱 crazy right!
I, personally believe that since Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday it gets looked over. Christmas trees get brought out as soon Halloween is over 🙄 BUT people surely take advantage of being off work for Thanksgiving AND the day before AND the day after.
If people want to use Thanksgiving as a reason to have dinner with their families there’s always Sunday dinner. I feel like if you not gon celebrate or acknowledge the day, then you should take ya ass to work…if it’s open!
I’ll let y’all in on a little secret, if you shop online, you get early access to Black Friday specials on Monday, at least. I’ve been catching deals since Monday and now that it’s actual Thanksgiving, it’s the same deals. 😒
I’m just saying put some respect on the day or “holiday” and actually cherish it and be thankful for your family..hence “thanks”—giving lol. And if you really want to catch sales..just online shop, or risk your life and sanity by going into Walmart, where all the crazies go lol.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Happy Thursday Folks
Positive attitude equals positive results!
