Rihanna - "Rude Boy" (Classical Cover by Aston)

Classical Cover of "Rude Boy" by Rihanna



just phenomenal
to think they could play this song with such intensity
doing as much justice as the original
is incredible
"Take it, take it, baby, baby, take it, take it, love me, love me"

"Shine" by Mikeman

I don't get how anyone can be with someone that dims their shine.
I couldn't be with someone that comprises what's mine.
She's the star in the relationship and its clear to see.
With a future and personality so bright,
her dude must of caught her with a bunch of artificial neon lights.
Boyfriend mean muggs while the girl lights up the room with a smile
that'll light up the night sky for miles.
I'm not speaking as another dude trynna get at her.
I'm speaking as the one who reminds her.
She'll never be that that star she was destined to be
not hangin' wit that B.
You shine 'cause you're a star
I just need you to know who you are.

ERYKAH BADU Concert feat Janelle Monae & J*Davey

Wednesday, June 22, 2010
I went the ERYKAH BADU Concert
Out of My Mind, Just In Time Tour 2010 AD
feat Janelle Monae & J*Davey @ the Marquee Theatre in Phoenix, AZ!
And you have no idea how EXCITED I was go to. I truly do love Miss E. Badu!
It was the Sunday before the concert I saw a tweet go figure from @yayamartinez [a local radio host for underground hip-hop]
giving out concert tickets for Erykah Badu. Just call in to win. So fan-crazed me called in, sang a Erykah Badu song + BAM!
Won concert ticket!!!





J*Davey
I like J*Davey despite not being well known.
They did my song "Slooow" so I couldn't complain!
Her odd lil vocals and sexy stage performance


Janelle Monae
Now I've been following Monae since she before she was a signed artist
got her first album + unreleased songs
so to see her for real on stage was surreal
she has incredible stage performance; animated as life
Her tightrope is the bizzzzzzzzzz!

*at the end of her set she stage dived.
I caught HER!
MADE MY NIGHT!!!


Erykah Badu
from her entrance to the encore
Badu is just greatness
such stage presence is felt when she's in a building
that personality must be great to be around 24/7
and that voice soars and fills the room


She did all here songs
On & On, Window Seat, Bag Lady, etc
its was a real live set
the crowd was just loving her!




"I AM AN IMMIGRANT"
that shirt was iconic and meant more that words here in Arizona
SB 1070
Phenomenal performance really...
made my summer.
I mean the best I can describe it is if you've been you an Erykah Badu concert
you know exactly what was experienced.
We were all one under the name of Badu
nothing but love in the building!

Gotta love Badu!

Last Weekend [4/24/2010]

This photo pretty much sums up my weekend.
-King's Cup
-folks got drunk
-homie threw up
-the lone homegirl
-wrestling
-"Never Have I..."
great times & a camera that caught it all

Drunk people are quite entertaining.

"Rape"
top to bottom
Johnny Ray, Jesse, Jandro, Jojo, Nando, Luis, Mikeman [me]
photo [taken] by Will.


Anyways, so I layedd down 'cause I was tired and it like like 2 in the morning. All of a sudden, Luis got on me to wrestle 'cause I always get him. [Dudes rough house as our parents say.. what'd you expect]
But then automatically Nando got on top of him and the next thing I know I got everyone on my back and I'm at the bottom of a dog pile!
Backbreaking & hard to breath to say the least haha
I'm guessing I had close to 1000 lbs on me!?!?
Yet all I could hear was Luis on top of me saying, "I cant breath! I cant breath!" and by the looks of this photo....
I'd say Jojo [the girl] couldn't breath.
She told me her ribs hurt BAD haha

Night well spent,
Mikeman

#MusicMonday: C-SIDE ft. Keyshia Cole - "Boyfriend/Girlfriend"

C-SIDE ft. Keyshia Cole - "Boyfriend/Girlfriend"


C-Side's first hit was "Myspace Freak"
(an obvious hit on Myspace)
but this track made me a fan of theirs
such an old school feel and Westcoast, summertime beat.
Reminscent to summer crushes and chillin' by the beach or poolside.
Keyshia obviously does her thang on the track
but C-SIDE does their thang too

makes me wanna get boo!
REALLY IT DOES!
haha

#MusicMonday: O-Town - "Liquid Dreams"

O-Town - "Liquid Dreams"



Idk what triggered me to think of Diddy
but that caused me to think of all of his FAILED pop acts
[O-Town, Da Band, Dream, Danity Kane, Day26]
this has got to be the most WHACKEST thing he's produced
They went NO WHERE!
plus for a title like that...
the song needed to be far more sexual + they were a POP act

Chemistry (CHM 130)

I like SCIENCE.
I like learning how and why things in nature happen, how we classify things, the laws and rules of why this is the way it is, and etc.

Therefore I took CHM 130 in college this semester because I thought I'd like to learn about the chemical composition and structure of different elements and what they're used for, what they do, why happens when they mix, etc...

Long story short, I was WRONG.
I don't like CHEMISTRY anymore.
I want to experiment, learn characteristics of elements and chemicals and stuff like that NOT balance chemical equations, do stoichiometry, convert Fahrenheit/Celsius to Kelvins, use moles and Avogadro's number and all this damn math. I HATE MATH with a passion...but that's a whole 'nother blog post. Plus waking up at 5:30 to get there by 7 is NO BUENO!

I wanted CHEMISTRY to be fun discovery, not math galore.

Anyways,
I have chem lab on Fridays, which is my favorite part of the class. 4/16/2010 We did a lab on pH levels of different chemicals [unknown to us students] where by adding a few drops of the red cabbage indicator to each of the clear chemicals we found out if it was acidic or basic. It was fun and easy lab and was the best one yet. I learned first hand what chemicals ARE acids and ARE bases.


This was why I fell in love with science in the beginning for the discovery not the math.

Scientifically a proven fact,
Mikeman
