There is a gut-wrenching epidemic spreading throughout our country. The symptoms are debilitating and deadly. The screams are silent. This week I would like to do my part to bring awareness to this epidemic.

Unfortunately our children; brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and cousins, are being preyed upon every day. In 2004 for every 100,000 children and youth under 18 living in populated areas, 775 were either physically or sexually assaulted. These are only the reported cases. How many more suffered in silence?

Girls are the most preyed upon sexually, over 4 times as often as boys in the same grouping. Boys however, are physically assaulted more then 50% more often than their female counterparts. A chilling fact is that most are abused by someone they know. The group the most at risk are youth 12 to 17 where 1,504 are abused of every 100,000 youth of this age group. It is speculated that increased independence is to blame as their social circles widen. This number decreases to 419 for every 100,000 children 3 to 11 and 126 of every 100,000 toddlers under 3. One child, is too many.

These facts are not only mind boggling, they are tragic. Why is it that this cycle of abuse is so strong? Why is it that these numbers continue to grow year by year? Why do so many allow themselves to suffer repeatedly? In the 2004 General Social Survey (GSS) 394,000 spousal violence victims reported that children were witness through sight or sound, to the reported domestic violence incident. This is 33% of all reported cases for that year. 33% of all reported cases. How many more went unreported? Where does change start?

Change starts with you. Knowledge is power, and you now know. There are endless ways to get involved at any level of commitment. Check here for ideas in your area. Please, do not turn a blind eye to their everyday cries.

Let the Celebrations Commence!

Finally, my favorite holiday of the year, Black Day, is upon us! After nursing my Valentines day wounds for 2 months I finally get to celebrate me!

For anyone unaware, Black day actually originated in South Korea. Singles of the world unite! I am adopting this day, I think we should start supporting it worldwide. Not in the over-commercialized way we celebrate Easter, Christmas and pretty much any other day we have given i title. More like the way we silently celebrate August long weekend by abandoning everything that seems strenuous and stealing a day back to ourselves. Hm mm, maybe we can make a small exception and permit a cake...

Anyone with a significant other, you are not allowed! We have to listen to your stories about your other half every other day, we need a rest.

Off I go to get a mani/pedi and eat beef with black been sauce out of a take-out container. I'm in heaven already!

Corner Gas Day!

Painfully Canadian aren't I? Eh?

In honors of the retiring sitcom Saskatchewan Premier Bard Wall has made today officially "Corner Gas Day". Corner Gas has been a big hit and is sadly calling it quits after six seasons. Unfortunately I couldn't find any details of it becoming a nation wide statutory holiday. Here is to hoping!

Celeb Birthdays!

Jaime Foxx (ft T-Pain) - Blame It

I'm fairly sure that if I get anymore addicted to this song I will probably require an intervention and extensive rehab. Love you Jaime! ... Call me ~,^

Lyrics are below, enjoy!

Blame it on the Goose (goose)
Got you feeling loose (loose)
Blame it on the 'tron ('tron)
Got you in the zone (zone)
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the alcohol (fades)

Ay, She say she usually don't
But I know that she front
Cause shawty know what she want
But she don't wanna seem like she easy
I hear you saying what ya won't do
But you know we probably gon do
What you been fening deep inside
Don't lie now

Girl, What you drinking
Go on let it sink in
Here for the weekend
Thinking, we can
See what we can be if we press fast foward
Just one more round
If you're down, I'm for it
Fill another cup upFeeling on your butt-What?
You don't even care now
I was unaware
How fine you was before my buzz set in(My buzz set in)

Blame it on the Goose (goose)
Got you feeling loose (loose)
Blame it on the 'tron ('tron)
Got you in the zone (zone)
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the Vodka
Blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the Blue Top
Gotcha feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the alcohol (fades)

Oopsie,She spilled some drink on me
And now I'm knowing she tipsy
She put her body on me
And she keep staring me right in my eyes
No telling what I'm gon do
Baby, I would rather show you
What you been missing in your life
When I get inside

Girl, What ya drinking
Gone let it sink in
Here for the weekend
Thinking, we can
See what we can be if we press fast foward
Just one more round
If you're down, I'm for it
Fill another cup up
Feeling on your butt-What?
You don't even care now
I was unaware
How fine you was before my buzz set in
(My buzz set in)
Blame it on the Goose (goose)
Got you feeling loose (loose)
Blame it on the 'tron ('tron)
Got you in the zone (zone)
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the Vodka
Blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the Blue Tap
Gotcha feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the alcohol (fades)

Girl I know you feel good
Just like you look
Couple more shots
You open up like a book
I ain't tripping
(Cause I'mma read ya)
Shawty I ain't tripping
(I just wanna please ya)
I'mma take a shot of Nuvo
Shawty didn't you know
It's going down
We can go and kick it like Judo
You know what I mean
Shawty got drunk, thought it all was a dream
So I made her say, "Ah, Ah, Ah"
Now she got her hand on my legs
Got my seats all wet in my ride
All over my ride
She look me dead in the eye (eye, eye)
Then my pants got bigger
She already knew what to figure
Had her looking at her boyfriend Like "that N***a"

Blame it on the juice
Got you feeling loose
Blame it on Petron
Got you in the zone (zone)
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the Vodka
Blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the Blue Tap
Gotcha feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the alcohol (fades)
Now to the Ballers popping bottles
With they Henny in they cups
Screaming "Money ain't a thing"If it ain't, throw it up
In the sky, And hold your drinks up high
And to my independent mamas
Who can buy they own bottles
And if you looking like a model
When them broke fellas holla
Tell them bye
And hold ya drinks up high

You can...
Blame it on the Goose (goose)
Got you feeling loose (loose)
Blame it on Petron ('tron)
Got you in the zone (zone)
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the Vodka

Blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the Blue Tap
Gotcha feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the alcohol (fades)

Happy Birthday Clair Danes!



Claire Danes turns 30 today! Best wishes and much love to her!

I think I'm in a bit of a denial about it though because that means that Rome and Juliette really was THAT long ago! *shudders* Time for me to go hide in a nice nostalgic place!

Still in Our Hearts

Wow! Three years already. Proof may always be best known as Eminem's best friend however, he was an incredible talent in his own right. It is so heartbreaking whenever someone is taken before their time. Who know what contributions he could have made to Rap music, his career was so promising and so short.

Much speculation still surrounds the circumstances surrounding His death. Eminem has asked in the past not to remember the way his proof died, but how he lived.

How Deep is Your Love - Dru Hill



Hey Mami
you know that I like it
when you call me Papi
but it seems like lately, baby
you've been seeing another Chico.
And baby you know that he cant go down like me.
And you know that a n***** cant freak like me.
So Mami tell me one little thing;
How deep is your love for me?


How deep is your love for me?
Tell me what it's gonna be.
Do you see yourself f****ing with a n****a like me?
On the low though, so your friends won't know.


Veno Aqui little mami
Puerto rican I see
the way you wiggle it
the way you move your body
he can't make it get wetter then me
but i bet you he keeps telling you he better than me
oh you know that he can't go down like me
you know that he ain't no freak like me
so baby tell me one little thing
how deep is your love for me?


How deep is your love for me?
Tell me what it's gonna be.
Do you see yourself f****ing with a n****a like me?
On the low though, so your friends won't know.



oh, mami, oh mami
I got to know
tell me how deep
tell me how deep
before you tell me another chico
tell me how deep


tell me how deep
there will never be another senorita see
and all I ask is that you keep on loving me
oh mami chulo
you know that there will never be another chico
quite like sisqo
so i must know

Erykah Badu - Tyrone



Sista's how y'all feelin'?
Brotha's, y'all a'ite?


I'm getting tired of your shit.
You don't ever buy me nothin',
and every time you come around,
you got to bring Jim, James, Paul and Tyrone.
See, why can't we be by ourselves, sometimes?
See, I've been having this on my mind,
for a long time.
I just want it to be
you and me,
like it used to be, baby.
But you don't know how to act,
so matter fact,


I think you better to call Tyrone.
Tell him come on, help you get your shit.
You need to call Tyrone,
and tell him I said come on.


Now every time I ask you for a little cash,
you say no, but turn right around and ask me for some ass!
Oh! Whoa! Well hold up,
listen partner I ain't no cheap thrill.
Because Ms Badu's always commin' for real.
Now you know the deal.
Every time we go somewhere
I gotta reach down in my purse
to pay your way, and your home boy's way
and sometimes your cars' way.
They don't ever have to pay.
Don't have no cars.
Coming around to bars, tryin' to hang around with stars.
Like Badu I'ma tell you the truth,
you a fool, gonin' to get the boot.
When we all went out to eat,
you made me ride in the back seat.
And that ain't right child.
I said, that ain't right child.


So, I think you need to call Tyrone,
and tell him come on, help you get your shit.
I think you'd better call Tyrone,
and tell him I said come on.

But you can't use my phone.

Justin Nozuka - Save Him

I have to say, hands down, this is one of my favorite songs. If the only thing I accomplish by this blog is introducng one person to Justin Nozuka, that is plenty for me!

Lyrics below.

Justin Nozuka - Save him

She loves him more, he loves her more.
Seems like they ain't ever gonna let each other go.
Laughing and kissin',
it's a match made in heaven.
Behind the rings on their fingers
imprints the ink deep in the inner.
That has stained their souls together now.
Stained 'soul mates' forever now.
Seems like they've made it to the other side
where the grass is greener and the sky is always blue.
And it goes on forever and ever
but there is only room for two.
Deep at night, I'm awakened from my dreams.
Next door yelling, cries, 'Mercy' she is begging please
'Don't end my life you're all I need.'
And "Darling I will never leave, never leave!"
And then she prayed on her knees She said:

"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"

Dark clouds cover her paradise.
She covers her eyes and hides
behind enemy lines.
And she walks through the night with her child in her arms.
She's thrown back hostaged.
Ya see, twenty years ago
when she was just ten years old,
lost in imagination
she was left alone.
And Paps had nothing to let his anger on.
Oh he beat her cold, yes he did,
he beat her cold.
She used to prey on her knees, she said:

"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"

Deep at night I'm awakened from my dreams.
Next door yelling, cries 'Mercy'
She's begging please, begging please, begging please.
'Get up! Get up!'
He brings her to her feet and smacks her down till she falls to the ground.
Oh and over and over again.
He brings her to her feet till she can no longer stand.
Oh and still the beating never ends.
On and on and on it goes.
Until he brings out a gun
and says to her
'Stop crying and bring me my son.'
She cries harder and harder.
he cries harder and harder.
She says 'Baby please don't, don't do this!'
Oh two shots to her chest And a blow to his own head.
She quickly loses breath,
and blood rushes to their bed
and baby cries he cries, his eyes out.

"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on!"

She loves him more, he loves her more.
Seems like they ain't never let each other go.
Laughing and kissin',
it's a match made in heaven...
