Favorite Summer Jams

I hope everyone reading this is having a great summer! Enjoy a few of my all-time favorite summer jams! (in no particular order)

Aaliyah - Back and Forth
Even though this list is randomized, I HAD to put this track first. Every time I think of summer, I think of those initial squealing guitar sounds that kick that song off before "Let me see ya go back!" Aaliyah's first single always brings me back to the great summers of the 90s.



Lauren Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing)


Justin Timberlake - Last Night


J. Holiday - Be With Me
This should've been one of the summer smashes of 2006. Unfortunately, it didn't even make a blip on the Billboard Top 100 charts. Odds are, you probably don't know this song and think that Holiday's first single was "Bed." It's still a cool, laid-back jam, though.



Janet Jackson - All For You


New Edition - Hot Tonite

(They need to come out with another album.)

Jagged Edge - Where the Party At

Both the original and remix videos are fun to watch. I couldn't decide which one to post, so I decided on neither :)


2011 has a good start with Chris Brown's "She Ain't You," Beyonce's "Run the World," "Give Me Everything" with Pitbull & Ne-Yo and "Dirty Dancer" with Enrique Iglesias, Usher and Lil Wayne. What are your favorite summer jams?



Fresh Prince DJ Jazzy Jeff - Summertime by oublierleracismeskyblog
You didn't think the list would end without this, did you?

A Road Block on the Information Superhighway

Ok, before I start, I know I'm showing my age by using the term "Information Superhighway." Honestly, who says that anymore?

But at the same time, I couldn't think of a better way to use the term "Road Block" in relation to what I'm going to be talking about.


So, I'm not sure what exactly happened, but my computer caught a nasty virus. I'm currently looking for a Macbook (not Pro, not Air, just a Macbook) to go back online and to make video editing a lot easier and better. Until then, my blog post frequency will be much slower unfortunately.

I'm posting from the library right now, but I hope the next time I post home, it'll be from an Apple computer.


This is pretty close to what my PC is going through.

Happy Hump Day

Happy Hump Day from Guns and Roses
Much love goes out to L-bomb for sending me this picture! The turtles are Guns and Roses, representing the Man Lab from Boston University. They like to do it anytime, anyplace. They don't care who's around.
