Anthony Hamilton Song of the day 1/31/2010

Today is an amazing morning I woke up to my phone playing a very soulful Anthony Hamilton, I believe the last time I listen to this great artist was with the release of American Gangster with Denzel Washington and Common, (great movie) A soul singer who has drawn comparisons to such classic R&B vocalists as Bill Withers and Bobby Womack, Anthony Hamilton struggled for the better part of the 1990s as two of his albums went unreleased. Getting his start at age ten singing in his church choir, the Charlotte, NC, native also performed as a teenager at various nightclubs and talent shows. Always with an eye to move on to bigger things, Hamilton made the move to New York City in 1993, eventually signing with Uptown Records.
Good morning to all, go take on your day, and don't forget to get your breakfast mine is shown below. (when was the last time you had frutty pebbles ?)

Song of the day 1/30/2010

Today's song is a collaboration between some of my favorite artist of the moment. Kid Cudi, Kanye West , and Common; I poke her face
These three rappers have been a great influence to my day to day life. They are entitled much respect. This song is one to start the day as I have.

"Hold up born on 88 how old is that? Old enough"

Song Of the Day

Corazon Partido. by Alejandro Sanz

Alejandro Sanz is one of my new obsessions,
Alejandro Sanz (born Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro on December 18, 1968), is a Spanishsinger-songwriter and musician. Sanz has won 14 Latin Grammy Awards and two Grammy Awards

he represents a new wave of Latin American singers that sing more than the typical Latin Rap. If I could compare him to an American artist, I would say hes our Dashboard Confessionals (with out the over the top EMO aspect to them)
This song came on my I-phone on the way to class today and it overtook me. The melody is incredible and the flow of the guitar and trumpet is something else.

Here is the link to his song Corazon Partido. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7djosnxbYFA

Ignacio De Loyala Brandao

This will be a new section in the blog, it will deal with some interesting books that have fallen in my lap, this months book is Anonymous Celebrity written by the talented Brazilian novelist Ignacio De Loyala Brandao. The book deals with the virtues of wanting to become famous in a world of unknowns. The actions that people will take to become someone when in reality we are playing just another extra in the world.
Amazing book.

Her simple smirk brings me back to earth.
Its a welcoming reminder and yet a smart ass gesture.
Her natural hair taken in by gravities law, yet defining a new one.
A warm aura primordial to time itself.
It brings men to their knees, and children to their seats.
She is simple, yet dramatically complex.
Unlike a complex physics problem I cant comprehend.
She has no solution.
Or is the solution written upon her face,
and that simple smirk?

Poemas de la melanchonia

Another ten Minutes...

Her subtle breathing
Wakes me up on command
Her warmth perpetuates though our thin sheets.
It's 7:00 am
To early to awake, and yet to late to sleep in.
My eyes slowly awaken to the glimmer of the sun through our window shutters.
Slender curves captivate my thoughts.
Her skin with the same sensation as cashmere to the skin.
Our eyes connect for the slightest moment.
As we lay in a quite trance, we are reminded of ourselves.
together were transformed.
"How about another ten minutes" I awkwardly blunder,
and once again we fall.
