 Queen of Hearts Dance Music?, October 30, 2015
Queen of Clubs Trilogy Onyx edition by Nadia Ali contains gleaming dance and club hits that many may remember her by such as Rapture (Avicii New Generation Mix) and Fantasy (EDX mix). However, her singing makes some of the other songs even more luminous such as with the music tracks such as Promises (Sebastian Krieg&Roman F mix), Crash and Burn (DJ Shah Magic Island Mix) and Love Story.

Music Genre Blend Experimentation, October 30, 2015
I first heard of some songs by Linkin Park around the summer of 2001 when I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan (there were some people on my ship playing music from Hybrid Theory and they seemed to enjoy it). Anyhow, Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park contains an immaculate blend of rock and hip-hop beats that strongly beat out the melodies in the songs. Many are probably familiar with Linkin Park’s songs such as One Step Closer, Crawling, and In The End. However, there are some other intense songs on Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park such as Runaway and A Place For My Head that have deep compelling meanings. For instance, I take the message of Runaway to be similar in the vein as Cult of Personality by In Living Colour in that it is ok to seek knowledge and wisdom from other sources and people as well as from within yourself (while making sure to be careful to run what you learn through your own intuition/logic while being careful to avoid easily following uncritically).

Expresses The Title Musically, October 30, 2015
The Storyteller by Carrie Underwood showcases her impeccable singing voice and this music collection does live up to the Storyteller title. Even some of the just casual listeners of country music would enjoy hits such as Renegade Runaway, Heartbeat, Smoke Break (for instance Smoke Break touches on the situation of multiple people doing their best to make an adequately financially stable living with tough determination), What I Never Knew I Always Wanted etc. Storyteller by Carrie Underwood is perfect for the many who are familiar with any of Carrie Underwood’s previous music and/or are eclectic music listeners.

Music Heart, October 30, 2015
One Love (Deluxe Version) by David Guetta features a strong music collection of dance, electronic music, and club music. I admit that my guilty pleasure songs from One Love (Deluxe Version) by David Guetta are Sexy (Feat. Akon), When Love Takes Over (feat. Kelly Rowland), Revolver (Madonna vs. David Guetta feat. Lil Wayne) and Toyfriend (feat. Wynter Gordon) because of the unabashed and thrilling melodies and lyrics to these songs. Additionally, One Love (Deluxe Version) also reads like a Who’s Who in the music industry (Fergie, Lmfao, Kid Cudi, Neyo, Will. I. Am. , Apl De Ap from the Black Eyed Peas, Estelle etc.).

Unadulterated Kid Rock, October 30, 2015
I preface this review by making it clear that I do enjoy Beyonce’s music and feel that whatever Kid Rock might have publicly said about her is really just him secretly admiring her as a musician/music performer. However, I was curious to check out the music collection of Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock because I’m familiar with some of his music from back around 1998-1999 when I was finishing up high school. The first songs that I remember first hearing by Kid Rock are Bawitdaba and I Am The Bullgod through a local alternative radio station the frequently played Kid Rock’s music. I ended up hearing Cowboy some time later. What I enjoy the most about this music collection is that he is not afraid to honestly bare his music soul publicly even on controversial matters and in a storytelling type of format. For instance, in track 14 of the music mashup of Black Chick White Guy/I Am The Bullgod he recalls a tale (I’m not 100% sure if it is himself or someone he knows) of an interracial couple first getting together as high school students and basically does not sugarcoat that the female ended up pregnant by freshman year of high school after they hooked up several times throughout middle and high school (some conservative people may gasp when he admits to them even hooking up in one of their school bathrooms during track 14). He sticks around as she has his baby(a boy) but stress and life eventually tear them apart. Some time later, they reunite again after he is making more money and they get intimate again. She has two more children and one of them is a daughter that he thought was his. He does not put down the daughter and even remarks how beautiful she is but the complicated part is that the character in Kid Rock’s musical story finds out that the daughter is not actually his. They eventually break up again but the guy eventually raises the son as his own and loves him very much even to this day. With this storytelling aspect in just track 14 alone maybe he could meet up with R-Kelly (even though he is from another music genre but R-Kelly has released the soap opera like yet interesting trapped in the the closet chapters that can be currently seen on youtube) and Kid Rock can get ideas on how he can translate just track 14 (Black Chick White Guy/I Am The Bullgod)alone into a play.

Trance/Electronic Music Plane, October 30, 2015
Welcome Reality by the group Nero features some brilliant electronic hits that run the gamut from Promises and the opening of 2808. There are multiple club/electronic hits on this music collection. However, Nero’s musical soul is greatly enhanced with the passionate love songs of Crush On You and My Eyes.

35 Tim Mcgraw Originals, October 30, 2015
35 Biggest Hits by Tim McGraw contains among some of the best and heartwarming country songs from Tim McGraw’s career such as It’s Your Love (feat. Faith Hill which fortunately is also one of my husband’s fave songs from Tim Mcgraw that reminds him of me), Just To See You Smile, I Like it I Love It, For A Little While, My Best Friend and more hits. I enjoy the romantic and uplifting vibes from many of these songs. I admit that I’m also previously familiar with Tim McGraw’s music both because my husband introduced me to a greatest hits collection by Tim McGraw around 2002/2003 and I also first heard the song Indian Outlaw by Tim McGraw on the radio inside a car back around the mid 1990’s (around sometime between 1994-1995 because my late adoptive mother was an intense fan of country music and country living).

Decadent and Controversial, October 30, 2015
I’m normally a person who prefers to watch feel good, happy and peppy type of movies, but something compelled me to check out the movie Caligula to expand beyond my own biases and how I perceive the world in order to take my creativity to another level (especially for my scriptwriting and authorship goals). The film Caligula opens with the following quote; What Shall it Profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul (listed to be from Mark 8:36). The film Caligula then shows the film to be listed as a Bob Guccione and Penthouse Films International Presents Caligula. Anyhow the movie Caligula stars Malcolm McDowell as Caligula, Helen Mirren as Caligula’s wife Caesonia,Teresa Ann Savoy as Caligula’s sister Drusilla, Peter O’ Toole as Caligula’s granduncle Tiberius, and John Gielgud as Tiberius’s political advisor and friend Nerva. One of the strong plot points of the movie Caligula is that it is shown why others view Caligula the way they do because of the way he treats even the men who were most loyal to him. Caligula’s wife Caesonia and his sister Drusilla are probably only among a few of the people that Caligula shows some humanity towards. This is important because the movie features a scene where Caligula’s sister Drusilla did not want Caligula to marry Caesonia because she was considered not attractive in the conventional sense, too old, and too extravagant (a spendthrift). The movie actually shows the character of Drusilla hoping to dissuade her brother Caligula from entering into a romantic liaison and/or possible long-term partnership with Caesonia by also explaining how promiscuous Caesonia is (but that only draws Caligula towards Caesonia even more).

Wonderland by Steve Aoki is an excellent medley of avant-garde club/electronic hits from various artists. There are brilliant songs on Wonderland such as Ladi Dadi (feat. Wynter Gordon)and Earthquakey People (feat. Rivers Cuomo). Wonderland is also good if you are familiar with any of Steve Aoki’s previous music.

Unintended Outcome?, October 30, 2015
I intend to watch the 2015 film Our Brand Is Crisis sometime within the next 14 days. However, I followed my intuition to check out the documentary that the 2015 movie is based on in order to get a stronger understanding of what is happening and to help me further understand and enjoy the 2015 movie of Our Brand is Crisis (starring Sandra Lee Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton) when I go to watch it. I admit that shocked is probably an understatement a person can use to describe what is listed online to be Our Brand is Crisis from the year 2005. The following are some of the facts that I was able to write down from the Our Brand Is Crisis Documentary (any that I left out was done with harmless intent as I was also doing my best to relax a little while watching Our Brand is Crisis documentary);
The Film opens February 2003-Anti government riots break out in the streets of La Paz Bolivia. One Year Earlier February 2002; Greenville Carville Schrum (GCS) a political consulting firm in Washington D.C. is contacted by MNR Party Candidate Gonzalo (Goni) Sanchez De Lozada an MNR Party Candidate. One of the Scenes then flashes to Jeremy Rosner GCS Pollster & Chief Strategist.
Then the screen flashes Boynton Films Presents In Association with The BBC, Films Transit, Urban Empire, and The Slough Pond Company a film by Rachel Boynton. The film lists that Goni Sanchez was a Bolivian businessman raised in the U.S. From 1993 to 1997 he was president of Bolivia one of the poorest countries in Latin America. As president, Goni opened Bolivia to foreign investment in a controversial program called capitalization. This capitalization move was unpopular with many Bolivians but garnered him international praise. Now In 2002, Goni was running for president again as one of 11 candidates. He hired a team of American political consultants to advise his campaign on polling, campaign management, strategy, and advertising. The consultants flew to Bolivia to help Goni communicate his message to the people; James Carville GCS strategist, Stan Greenberg GCS pollster, and they showed Carlos Mesa the VP candidate to Goni’s presidential candidacy. There was a pop culture reference of Winnie The Pooh. Other details; Tad Devine an Advertising consultant for GCS was featured, Tal Berstein GCS consultant, Mauricio Balcazar Goni’s Press Advisor, Then there is a tv ad where Goni states; Carlos mesa and I have prepared an emergency plan, restore social security, invest money in gas for youth education because Bolivia had more natural gas than any other country in Latin America; they were planning public works to create jobs and stop the crisis, goni and mesa’s message at the time; were planning public works to create jobs and stop the crisis, the economy must be managed with honesty and seriousness, its not time for radical change or irresponsible experiments. Further quotes affiliated with Goni; we can stop the crisis and return hope to Bolivia. Then who appears to be one of Goni’s PR (press men) says yes it can be done with a photo of an old man smiling and the Spanish saying Si Se Puede (yes it can be done). Goni;s campaign headquarters is shown and his political rival Evo Morales an MAS Party Candidate; Then there is a female journalists’s luncheon at Goni’s home, an informed female journalist posed this question to Goni at the luncheon; they say indigenous leaders are stealing some of the MNR’s traditional voters, supporters of the MNR’s national revolution in 1952 what do you think, Goni’s Reply; It’s a strange phenomenon, very authoritarian, leaders like Evo Morales force communities to vote a certain way, we’ll challenge this in the elections, you can’t say to a town if I don’t win here the indigenous leaders will punish you.
More Details in the Our Brand is Crisis documentary; Manfred Reyes Villa NFR Party Candidate, part of Reye’s statement; A President must be sensitive, he must travel throughout the country listening to the people we no longer want to see 800,000 children working in the streets selling candies, polishing shoes, or washing cars, that must be the Boliva of the past, the Boliva of the old, Cochabamba you allowed me to change this city as its mayor, now I ask you to help me change our beloved Bolivia so we live with sovereignty, dignity, and care for one another. Then the documentary moves to a scene at the home of Carlos Morales-Goni’s campaign manager. Another scene at what is listed in the documentary to be called the Marketing SRL in Bolivia shows the citizens (a forcus group)of Bolivia mentioning this about Goni for the purpose of the American political communication consultants collecting polling information; Remember when Goni was president what did he do? Social Security, health insurance, educational reform, capitalization, what do you think of capitalization and Goni/ He says capitalization created jobs, it didn’t, it brought investments, foreigners came took our jobs and left us with nothing, Goni thinks the last time he was president everything was pink, just great. Now Goni wants to do everything the same, which is bad, our governments haven’t met our basic needs; education, housing, jobs, that’s why we feel discontent. Then there is a scene showing Manuel Rocha- U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia. Election Final Results; Goni-22.5%, Evo-20.9%, Manfred-20.8%, fast forward to 7 months after election February 9, 2003-Goni admits that the country of Bolivia is at a crossroads and implied that changing the income taxes are a way to get the money flowing in Bolivia again. The Our Brand is Crisis documentary listed these tax proposals from Goni; If You Earn 1000 BS (143 dollars a month at the time) then the tax is 15 BS (2 dollars per month), If you earn 2000 BS (285 dollars per month) the tax is 140 BS (20 U.S. dollars at the time; 2003).

Unlimited Potential/Brainpower, October 30, 2015
I became interested in knowing more about the Limitless TV Series season one after seeing in a magazine article that Bradley Cooper endorses this TV Series. This was enough to convince me because my husband and I first watched the Limitless movie together when it was released back in 2011 and I even own a Limitless dvd (which I admit to buying last year). Anyhow, the Limitless TV series (Season One) opens with Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) running from FBI agent Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter). Finch’s life gets dramatically altered once one of his professionally accomplished friends gives him a drug that helps to dramatically increase his brainpower/mindpower. What complicates the issue is that he finds that there are multiple people that take the drug, including a character named Adam Honeycutt. Bradley Cooper also features in the Limitless television series as U.S. Senator Eddie Mora.

Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile, and Quizno’s are some of the companies that have been their customers. The second advertising agency is McKinney Advertising based out of Durham, North Carolina.

Enchanted Writing, October 30, 2015
I admit that I checked out this tv series of The Secret Circle Season One because I read online that Gale Harold is featured in this series (after I saw him in another tv series). Additionally, The Secret Circle tv series appealed to my tv watching genre preferences due to my confessed interest in the occult and with movies/tv series featuring witches. Anyhow, The Secret Circle tv series (season one) features some good music of which I’m not sure if a music soundtrack is available for the tv series (one of the songs that plays near the beginning of the Secret Circle series is Young Blood by the Naked & Famous). Anyhow, The Secret Circle follows the tale of a teenager named Cassie Blake (Britt Robertson) who reluctantly accepts that it is part of her destiny to be a witch after she meets other teenagers in her new hometown (Chance Harbor Washington) who have also lost a parent. Adam Conant (Thomas Dekker) and Diana Meade (Shelley Hennig) work the hardest to convince her to join their secret coven. The teenage coven also includes other members as well such as Melissa Glaser (Jessica Parker Kennedy), Jake Armstrong (Chris Zylka), and Faye Chamberlain (Phoebe Tonkin). Charles Meade (Gale Harold) is the father of Diana Meade and is definitely not the harmless person he initially appears to be on the outside. There are more actors/actresses of course who contribute to the TV series The Secret Circle Season One (I was just intuitively going by what I logically felt would be strong details to share).

From The Soup Aisle At My Job, October 30, 2015
I enjoy this Hormel Mary Kitchen Roast Beef Hash (15 ounce) can because it is both cheap and delectable. This roast beet hash is complimentary with eggs, some type of burritos or tacos, and/or just on its own. I also enjoy that this roast beef hash can be easily cooked either within 5 minutes on the stovetop or within three minutes after being heated in the microwave.

An Unexpected Positive Message, October 30, 2015
The Way You Move (Club Mix Explicit) by Outkast feat. Sleepy Brown is an appealing song that basically is a mix of club music (as it lists in the title), R&B, and dance. The title of the song pretty much sums up the song’s meaning, yet I also interpret the song to symbolize liking many things about a person. I admit that I first heard The Way You Move by Outkast (feat. Sleepy Brown) back around 2003 when I was living in California. One of the positives about this song is that women of various shapes, sizes, skin complexions, hair textures/hair lengths,and personalities are featured in the online music video that is currently available for free viewing (which to me the online music video sends out a powerful/healing indirect message of why it is helpful to think highly of yourself regardless of how you are externally seen and/or perceived).

Ambitious Concept, October 30, 2015
Please know that I understand that both Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons have successfully moved on with their love lives. This dvd caught my interest initially due to the feature of publicists and Kimora Lee Simmons self-confident and enterprising persona. This dvd of Kimora Life In The Fab Lane Season 1 is a spellbinding foray into her entourage and her life. Dvds like this are an important study because it is common knowledge that women as successful/accomplished as Kimora Lee Simmons do not always allow the public into their lives via either a dvd or book.
