WLE-- recording studio

Recording Studio- Music is a big part of life, my life. Without Music there is no sound in the world. Music is what makes us come to life and the world go round. Not going to far in history starting around the years of popping music like Doug E. fresh, Sugar Hill Gang, Salt n Peppa,Run DMC, LL cool J, New Edition, Brandy, TLC,Jodeci, biz markey,soul for real,JJ FAD, and more. See that was "old skool" music that meant something. not putting down women it made you want to have a good time.


>Music is me.........Music is life...... So share it<

Maya Angelou---Gather Together In My Name

Lately in this life story book, maya come across a man who she likes a man by the name of "curly" who drives a 1941 pontaic and lives in a nice hotel. So them two had spent some time together back at his place with Reet aka Maya's new born son. So they made love and maya laid there crying in his arms.
*I do not think she was crying because of something negative. She was crying because she liked him and it was on a positive note and she was in love.
"i was so happy that the next day i went to a jewelry and bought him an onyx ring with a diamond chip. i charged it to my stepfaher's account".(18)
*wow....crazy. If thats not LOVE or SPRUNG than i dont know what is..
OH MY GOSH.. THE MAN OF REET DREAMS LEFT HER IN THE HOTEL AND NEVER CAME BACK.SHE FEELS THAT HE LEFT BECAUSE HE WANTED HER AND THE BABY TO BE BY THEM SELVES. THIS REMINDS ME OF MEN IN PERIOD THEY JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT ANOTHER FEMALE HAS TO OFFER AND THEY LEAVE AND ESPECIALLY IF THEIR A BABY INVOLVED. THATS JUST MY OPINION.

WLE---Recording Studio

Since I have been working in the recording studio, producing music and having my own artist. We have been making progress. Instead of one song! we're trying to make three songs! what I learned by working in the music studio it been wonderful. I learned so much about music and behind the music industry. my mentor been a big help.

second book--- gather together in my name

In the second book, Gather Together in My Name, by Maya Angelou is a different book from my first one. her first novel was a book of advice in life situations. Then, this one is a story about her life at the age of seventeen, getting a job and not being able too cook because her stepfather feels that black women cook long enough for white people and they should not cook for them again. Maya is trying to tell her stepfather that she needs the money to take care of her son, and job is better than having no job.

Maya Angelou

In the book I wouldnt take nothing for my journey now, I read a chapters about jealously.

Jealously...
---"A jealousy lover can be a little amusing. in fact, jealousy made evident in a room filled with people can be an outright intoxicant to everyone,includig the lovers. it must be remembered, however, that jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little pleasure and , under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening." (129)
My thought about this passage, Ms. Maya speaks on relationship in a different manor.
And this piece of passage made so much sense. The style came so easy and it flows.

Maya Angelou- wouldnt take nothing from my journey now

In Ms. Angelou novel, the paragraph(s) that caught my attention were on page 57, "clothes make the man", "clothes can make the man or woman look silly and foppish and foolish."
----->Any clothes you wear, will make you look good or bad. depending on how you carrry yourself.

----->heres another one.
" seek the fashion which truly fits and befits you. you will always be in fashion if you are true to yourself, and only if you are true to yourself."

This really caught my attention because it reminds me of church on a sunday morning, when the pastor preach on the word of the lord. and what Maya's quote was kind of true. What I think she meant by this quote, is to find inner beauty by not through clothes and wear what makes you, you.
