Yeah. That’s what happened to me the first time.

but…

no worries, i dint let it stres me out.

Ah fuck, I was like, one minute late! My computer clock said 8:56 (Pacific Time, that is), but I guess it’s a bit sloooow.

I really slaved over this assignment, too! This was the one in which the 300 word limit felt the most constricting. Some of my subjects answers were longer than that, and she went off on so many interesting tangents that it was hard to know which thread would be the most interesting to follow.

Of course, after I went to send it in and it was too late, I took a breather and immediately realized what I could have done to pull it all together.

The week was just too, too busy. I had a few writing deadlines to work hard at aside from this one.

Next time, next time…

Actually…you’re really kinda good…

i guess i wouldn’t mind losing to you.

*that was very loser-ish of me to say that…sorta cliche’”

I did…I wrote about Robin Thicke

Look out world, Thicke is back! And I’m not talking about Alan Thicke. Yep, you guessed it! Alan Thicke’s very own son, Robin Thicke. This boy’s got spunk and this boy’s got talent, so what better way to celebrate than with a new album release and millions of dollars to spend?

Aside from his multitudes of accomplishments, like signing on with Interscope Records, Robin released his new album entitled “An evolution of Robin Thicke” Like the album title suggests, Thicke’s sound is
an “evolution” of his old sound with a zesty combination of pop, soul and R&B.

Thicke’s single, “Lost Without You” instantly became a crowd favorite selling him more albums than ever before. Like “Lost Without You,” Robin’s album speaks a lot about women and love…or should I say love-making! “All night long” featuring Lil’ Wayne shows a little glimpse of Thicke’s sexy side. His sweet sensual sound and seductive lyrics gives listeners something to connect with; something that will surely keep them going “all night long!”

Thicke colabs with artists such as Pharell, Faith Evans and Lil’ Wayne. “Got 2 be Down” featuring Faith Evans and “Wanna Love U Girl” featuring Pharell are singles more than likely to bring this album platinum.

Thicke’s new approach with “The Evolution of Robin Thicke” helps in setting him apart from the artists he’s usually compared with. (Timberlake & Usher) Although his style is clearly inspired by those like Usher, Mary J. Blige and Brian McKnight, Robin adds a “new school” funk to his records allowing him to stand side by side by some of the worlds greatest musicians.

Thicke’s instrumentation in “The Evolution of Robin Thicke” mixes modern jazz and R&B; setting a laidback feel to his music, giving him his casual persona, and creating an album uplifting and unique.

Then maybe you should submit nex time if you really think that your piece is better.

Henry S [dot] Rooney for President
Lubnaa Abdullah

For the people of Cincinnati, Ohio Summer just ain’t that without the melodious sounds of “Henry S [dot] Rooney” He sits on a curb in downtown Cincinnati July fourth of every year awaiting the crowd, who in return awaits his performance. His jean vested shirt socially clashes with his burgundy loose fitted pants. (A description that could easily define his sound) Two sticks in hand, Henry starts his drummin’. Each stick beats the top of three multi sized white buckets creating a sound less hollow then the next. Long swift dreads cry beads of sweat as he flings his head rapidly. The crowd enjoys this performance and generously gives a good two dollar donation in his “Revolve the Revolution” box.

For a man bursting with artistic juices, his versatile act seems a bit…stagnant. So I wanted to know what exactly sets this character apart from the 200 other hopefuls banging on a bucket to support their less than likely red carpet dreams. “Henry S [dot] Rooney ain’t ‘bout the money or the red carpet, he’s ‘bout the show: making someone’s day go good, even if only for a moment” Aside from the fact that he refers to himself in 3rd person, I believe Henry S [dot] Rooney was on to something. Perhaps emphasizing that his music is an escape from reality or what he likes to call “the conspiracy that is this world.”

Henry’s name and act is spread by word of mouth and as he skims the crowd on each Fourth of July he sees his regulars and a few fresh faces. “People who can’t find work, people tryin’ to get away from work, and people thinkin’ they too good for the rest of us,” he continues “these type of people is what makes my drummin’ all worth while, I like to see the looks on their faces when they realize what I’m drummin’ is real, and what their feeling is real, baby. It’s real!”

Henry could very well be just what this country needs, but until he goes national, he belongs to the people of Cincinnati. He IS our escape. “I’m about the feeling I give my crowd and that’s it.” Well, he may be a poor excuse for a celebrity, and a mediocre drummer at that. But he gives his fans the gift of feeling…besides, that’s what music’s all about, right? Feeling.
