Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place? What are your most and least favorite musical genres?
My music taste is all over the place. From classical to rock or from rock to rap, I listen to it all! I love, love, love music! I have a great appreciation for all types of music. Music is music to me. I don't have a favorite or a least favorite. I love music equally.
Show us which album tops your best of 2007 list so far.
It was tough choosing between Linkin Park and Incubus, but.. Linkin Park came out the victor in this battle. Their new album, Midnights To Midnight, is different from their earlier stuff, and I actually like it. They set out for something different, and I would have to say that they exceeded their goal. There are probably some people out there that think that they could have done better, but I LOVE 'EM!
Audio: Share what you're listening to right now.
Even Rats by The Slip. Off of their album, Eisenhower. I think that their sound is very unique. Especially in this song. I don't know what it is about them, but i like 'em! Well, they can't top Incubus, Count Zero, and Red. But I still like 'em though.
While walking down the stairs and wiping the sleep out of eyes, yesterday morning, I heard my mom talking on the phone. I thought she was just having one of her morning chats with Omavi (her close friend), until she greeted me with a, "Good morning pookie!" and, "Brian says good morning!". My mouth instantly dropped down to the ground and I asked back in utter disbelief, "BRIAN IS ON THE PHONE FOR REAL?!?!?". After laughing at the look of surprise and confusion on my face, she hands me the phone and as I say hello, I hear Brian's voice greeting me with a laugh and a, "Good Morning!". I reply back with a laugh and a, "Good Morning!", and then I allow myself a couple of minutes to get over my shock and to wonder why he was calling so early in the gosh dern morning (it was like around 9 something... that's early for me *lol*). After a while my question was answered.
He wrote a poem on Facebook and my mom commented on it. After commenting, Brian sent her a message and from there started a conversation via Facebook messaging. After a while, Brian asked if he could call because he was signing out, or something like that, I forgot the reason why, but anwyaz my mom said, "Sure", and he called. They talked and talked for almost 2 hours or so, and then I came down.
After laughing and saying our greetings, and listening to his reason for calling so early, Brian started off the conversation by asking the usual questions, "What's up?", "How are you?", and "What have you been up too?". I answered them and asked the same of him. After that... Brian got the talking (he was kinda hyper).
While listening to him talk about torturing the new fish that he got (don't ask *lol*), playing pool by himself, his new video games that he got, his new stalker, his room mates, and about the many energy drinks that he drank in one night (he had been up since he got off of work on friday at noon), I couldn't help but laugh and wonder why the heck hadn't he been sleep yet *lol* Some time later, the conversation came to his relationship with Elisia and some things about our past relationship (not serious stuff. just random stuff). We had some more laughs and what not, and then he had to go.
I would honestly have to say that that phone call really made my morning :) I got off the phone feeling all giggly and finding that I could not help but to talk about Brian for the rest of the friggin' day (i miss chico/mikey! *lol*). It's true! I talked about Brian almost all day. On top of that, I even thought about him. And that's where the confusion begins.
Somewhere near 6 or so, I called him back, and half of the stuff that I held in from him, while we were together, just spilled out. I told him about why I broke up with him (not really though) and why I felt kinda frustrated and irritated to the point that I ended our relationship (it all had to deal with his flirtatious ways and the many girls that he was friends with and found attractive). He gave me his input and his views on the situation. When that was all said and done, things got pretty quiet and my mind went into a whirl wind of questions and infinite possibilities. He asked why I was quiet, and I replied, "I'm just thinking." He of course had to know what it was that I was thinking about, but I was afraid to tell him. Thank god my mom told me that it was time to get off the phone, because I would have told him what it was that I was thinking about the longer he asked me.
I bet you're wondering what I was thinking about huh? Well... seeing as how ya'll are my VOX peeps... I guess I can tell you guys *lol* I was thinking about what would have happened if I would have been patient enough with our relationship and if I would have just opened up and told him what was bothering me, instead of holding everything in and trying to push him away. I was also thinking about what if we were granted another chance at being in a relationship again. In lay man's terms... I still have feelings (rather strong feelings) for him and I still have this fantasy in my head that we'll be back together and everything will be happy go lucky.
While attempting to become the next female Tony Hawk ( i was skateboarding... or something close to it *lol*), I did some thinking. Here's what was going through my mind:
1. "Was breaking up with him a mistake?"
2. "Why do I have to be some dern indecisive?"
3. "What if we do get back together?"
4. "Does he still think about me?"
5. "Does he still have feelings for me?"
6. "How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?"
7. "Are the Pistons going to take the championship this season?"
8. "I hope I don't fall off this skateboard again!"
9. "I've gotta get a skateboard!!!"
10. "Skateboarding is totally fun dude!!!"
11. "Did I burn dinner?"
12. "Maybe I should go check on it."
I eventually thought myself into a slight depression and went to mope in my room (oh... and I did burn dinner, so that depressed me too *lol*). I went to bed after listening to music, dancing & singing, and writing in my journal for a while.
* Note: Now... Before anybody catches a fit here (meaning nate), and starts telling me, "Ebonni, you have a boyfriend!", "Ebonni, you know Nate is going to read this right?", or "Now if Nate doesn't call you or anything after he reads this... don't say anything!" (meaning mommy and samantha), FINISH READING THE GOSH DERN POST DERN IT!!!
After getting a good night's rest, I awoke with those same questions (minus 6-12... well actually 8-12) running through my mind. I took some time to think, and I came up with this conclusion. I can't go around and continue to mope about what has happened in the past. I did enough of that to last me a lifetime. Yes, I still love Brian, but in the end... I have to let him go, and accept the fact that we're friends and will probably be nothing more than that again. Looking back and wondering about what could have been does nothing but cases pain and confusion. I have to think about the present and be thankful for what I do have. I have a boyfriend that I love with all my heart and that puts a smile on my face each and every day :) and I'm happy and content with that. So why do I keep going back to the past? Idk. But it's not worth it.
I guess I'll always have these feelings for Brian (It's not easy to forget your first love), but I'm going to have to learn to move on and leave the past in the past. I look at the situation this way, If Brian and I wouldn't have broken up, Nate and I wouldn't be together. And that would totally suck *lol* So I've stopped wondering about what could have been and what would happen if... and I've started to think about some other things like, "Will I ever meet Tayshaun Prince?", "Will I ever go to a Piston's game?", or "How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?" *lol* Oh, and I've also been thinking about Nate of course :)
Well, I'm off to listen to some music, finish talking to Nate, and chill.
Hope all is well :)
Well, I'm off to get dressed and stuff. I've been lazing around in my pjs all day and I'm expecting company, so I guess I really need to get up and get myself together *lol*
Hope all is well :)
Where do you go to get away from it all?
Submitted by Hops.
I get away from it all in books. Whenever I get stressed or irritated or whatever, I like to lose myself in books. When lost in a good book, I tend to forget whatever is going on in the real world. Which also means that all my problems are forgotten. When reading doesn't help, I turn to music. Music has always been a passion, and a pick me up, of mine. I LOVE MUSIC! Like books, I like to get lost in music. It takes me away from it all.
After talking with a friend, I found out that summer school is going to cost a whole lotta money! Classes are two hundred dollars each! What happened to free summer school? Hopefully I can find some way to get the money, so that I can pass into my right grade. If not, then... I'll be an 09 instead of an 08 :( But... I've learned my lesson... I guess. I messed up, therefore I have to deal with the consequences. I hope college is a whole lot better. From what I've heard about it, I think I'll like it :) I've made a promise to myself that I was going to start going to school from now on. Everyday until the end of the school year. I know that there are going to be times that I'm going to hate myself for forcing myself to go to that boring place, but sometimes you just have to do things that you don't want to do. I don't wanna go to school, but in order for me to carry out my future plans, I have to go.
I think I'll go to bed now. I'm starting to doze at the keyboard *lol* Okay, I'm about to go climb into my warm bed and snuggle with my teddy bear and drift off into lullaby land :)
Hope all is well with you guys :) (I've noticed recently that i put these gosh dern smilies all over the place *lol*)
O yeah... I couldn't think of a good song to post, so I didn't putt one up. I'll think of one for tomorrow, or should I say later today? Anywho, goodnight/good morning fellow VOX peeps :) (there goes that dern smiley again *lol*)If you could pick a cartoon world to live in, which would it be? Why?

That's a tough question to answer. There are so many to choose from. There's Spongebob, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, The Powerpuff Girls, Doug, PepperAnn... there's just too many. Let me think on this... I would have to choose Schoolhouse Rock! I know that that was way before my time, but I frickin' love it! Why would I choose to live here, because you learn something new everyday! And not only that, but you learn something new everyday and there's a catchy song to go with what you've learned. Education combined with music! I love it!
Today was a lazy day, but a great day none the less. Any day that is filled with napping, music and reading is a good day :) Nothing exciting or worthwhile writing about happened today. Well... if you count snow as an exciting thing, then I guess that that would be one thing. Hopefully tomorrow will be a promising day of something different and exciting. A day filled with napping, music and reading may be a good day, but it's quite boring when you do it everyday. Well, none of them are bad to have in a day, but those things being the only things that I have all day everyday... well that can get boring.
I've talked to Brian again, and I guess all is well between us. He's going through some things and is kinda going on a search for truth and meaning. A soul search. It means a lot that he still talks to me about the things that he's going through. Even though he may not give very many details, it still means a lot to me. I just hope that he finds whatever it is that he's looking for and is ready to handle whatever truth it is that he's looking for.
Well, I'm off. Hope all is well for you guys :)
