You know. It must have all started about a month ago. When I popped in a mix CD from high school and it had stuff like Tupac on it. And hip hop and R&B. And I thought… Oh my god.

And I kept on thinking, it's been a good two to three years since I've listened to any of this stuff… lately it's been a trend toward, you know… more white, and more indie music. And then I questioned myself. Did I only listen to this stuff because of the guys I've dated all listened to that crap (ok I know it's not crap).

And then I realized how SICK I was listening to that kind of stuff. Cause variety is, truly, the spice of life. I think a lot of it maybe had to do with the fact that I was back where I grew up. The me before me.

And I could not tell you how much happier listening to some of this stuff again. I forgot how much I truly LOVE this music. I used to be a pop, r&b, and hip hop kid totally.

Go Ciara, JoJo, Beyonce, Usher, Boyz II Men. We went OLD SCHOOL here.

Lately my friend has got me diggin' Losing My Way (omg yayayyaay.. definitely my type of stuff).

I had to start listening to the radio again, just to discover some of these new songs. And what happened to Nelly Furtado?! Remember I'm Like A Bird from her Whoa, Nelly! days?! You know… the song that won her a Grammy back in the day? Then she went off and started producing these weird songs… and now she's come back with some mainstream flava. It's not an image I'm used to seeing her in, but she's definitely more hip and sexy now. I like.

Say It Right is genius. I've only listened to it 9,000,000 times. And it also helps that Timbaland is some genius all on his own.

For now, I'm fine not listening to indie, mellow, etc. stuff. I'm surrounded by it all the time, and honestly, sometimes I feel like people around here try so hard to be different and to fit into this alternative culture and music that they become the same as everyone else around them. Hippies!! :P
