Jam of the Moment!!!!!! #3




XOXOXO


This song is everything and one of few highlights on the B.E.P.'s latest album entitled "The Beginning." The album debuted at a stunning 6th place on the Billboard charts this week, while Katy Perry has her 3rd straight #1 off of her smash album"Teenage Dream."

So this is a great week for Katy and only a so-so week for B.E.P. Hopefully this song which is also my personal Jam of the Week can rebound their disappointing first week sales. I have heard rumblings that this will be the second single off the disc so hopefully this will help. The reason I feel this album is doing so poorly (which has been stated over and over again) is the fact that Fergie, really the voice behind the group seems to be missing.

For the most part, she is NOT on the CD. I always wonder why artist tend to do this type of thing after they have hugely successful albums. They tend to try to change what seems to be a winning formula. I will NEVER understand it at all. To go from an album that was grammy recognized and produced 3 #1 singles to this is just unacceptable. This album sounds unauthentic as a B.E.P. album because Will.I.am seems to be trying to hog the spotlight. It's just a mess as a whole!!!!!!

But there are some great songs on it, just like my jam of the moment. Enjoy!!!!!!

Jam of the Moment!!!!!! #2




FAMOUS

Extracted from her latest CD entitled "Love me back" Jazmine really brought it with this ya'll. I think I am so extremely drawn to this track because it is soooo haunting in a way!! And her voice is only laced with a hurt that is not heard anywhere else on this album. I don't know why but this song just sticks out to me for some odd reason. Make sure you guys go get that album it is so strong even though most may agree that it is NOT as soulful as her debut

World AIDS Day!!!!!!!!!!!!






AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the final stage of HIV disease, which causes severe damage to the immune system.

Important facts about the spread of AIDS include:

  • AIDS is the sixth leading cause of death among people ages 25 - 44 in the United States, down from number one in 1995.
  • The World Health Organization estimates that more than 25 million people worldwide have died from this infection since the start of the epidemic
  • In 2008, there were approximately 33.4 million people around the world living with HIV/AIDS, including 2.1 million children under age 15.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS. The virus attacks the immune system and leaves the body vulnerable to a variety of life-threatening infections and cancers.

Common bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses that ordinarily do not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune systems can cause fatal illnesses in people with AIDS.

HIV has been found in saliva, tears, nervous system tissue and spinal fluid, blood, semen (including pre-seminal fluid, which is the liquid that comes out before ejaculation), vaginal fluid, and breast milk. However, only blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk generally transmit infection to others.



The virus can be spread (transmitted):

  • Through sexual contact -- including oral, vaginal, and anal sex
  • Through blood -- via blood transfusions (now extremely rare in the U.S.) or needle sharing
  • From mother to child -- a pregnant woman can transmit the virus to her fetus through their shared blood circulation, or a nursing mother can transmit it to her baby in her breast milk

HIV infection is NOT spread by:

  • Casual contact such as hugging
  • Mosquitoes
  • Participation in sports
  • Touching items previously touched by a person infected with the virus

People with AIDS have had their immune system damaged by HIV and are very susceptible to these opportunistic infections. Common symptoms are:

  • Chills
  • Fevers
  • Sweats (particularly at night)
  • Swollen lymph glands
  • Weakness
  • Weight loss

Note: Initial infection with HIV may produce no symptoms. Some people, however, do experience flu-like symptoms with fever, rash, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes, usually 2 - 4 weeks after contracting the virus. Some people with HIV infection stay symptom-free for years between the time they are exposed to the virus and when they develop AIDS.

How appropriate on this day
the rains came
Washing the pain away
See this day reminds me of several things
Of regret for getting so caught up in heated passion the latex never mattered
Of pain where the doctor tells you, you're a positive person
Well if I'm so positive, why do I feel so negative
