On Repeat #4: Piece of my Heart Edition

Erma Franklin - Take Another Little Piece of my Heart

The original, soulful version.

Janis Joplin - Take Another Little Piece of my Heart

THEE classic, screaming blues version.

Mary J. Blige does a really good version, too; very powerful, religious experience:

I'm on a Boat

reminds me of:



wow.

the video:

a comment from "chrisbzshawty":
LMFAOOOO; i couldn't breathe throughout this whole video . you are funny . now i regret signing up with this name but i don't want to make a new one because i have way too many subscriptions , favorites , and playlists i don't feel like re-doing . but i'll still listen to his music . if anything chris needs all the support he can get . i think it's unfair how one little incident ( well not so little ) will make everybody turn on chris like this . smh .

then, another from the same poster:
rihanna's soft ? if she can hit her brother with a glass bottle; she can take a punch.

now, aren't these nice biased statements? if there's anything i hate more than a groupie is a dumbass groupie. i'll never understand how ppl can be stans.

yeah, it's real sad how ppl don't want to support a woman-beater. what the fuck is wrong with us? poor chris! that poor, sweet, innocent boy just made a teeny-weeny mistake and got carried away.

yeah, she hit her brother with a glass bottle, HER BROTHER. chris brown beat her, not her brother. this girl must be an only child because anybody with siblings know how sometimes you just have to brawl with your brother/sister. it's natural. it's not right to throw glass, but that's what girls do. we aren't as strong as men and sometimes in desperation, we use foreign objects.

women make me sick these days. we really did kill chivalry with our petty jealousy at each other. ugly as i feel some days, i get jealous and i get bitter, but i will never enjoy a woman being beaten, regardless of her attractiveness. that's not my sickness; sorry if it's yours.

i think black jesus would be a great blaxploitation film!

five and twenty +

Here are my 25 random things, with 5 bonuses:

• 1.Most of the time, I consider myself a camera, so I might move myself around to “get a better shot” of someone or change the “composition.”
• 2. I miss writing terribly.
• 3. I think in pictures, or moving images, but when I see someone or something, I think about how I would describe them/it into words.
• 4. When I was younger, I would be scared to walk past the dining room table because it has a long tablecloth over it and I thought a big spider monster was under it. One day, I “stood up” to it and told it point-blank that if it wanted to do something to me, it could. After awhile when, of course, nothing happened, I realized I wasn’t scared anymore. However, I haven’t worked up the courage to tell that to the crazy, killer zombie living in my closet.
• 5. I’m an optimist trapped in a pessimist’s body.
• 6. I’m an extrovert trapped in an introvert’s body.
• 7. I hate film critics. I think it’s a waste of a “career.” Everybody’s got an opinion, what makes yours so special? Most of them are pretentious snobs anyway.
• 8. I’ve come to realize that it’s hard not to be a bit pretentious when talking about film.
• 9. I’m not party person. I’ll go, but there’s usually nothing for me to do.
• 10. I like to sleep without socks on.
• 11. All of my scripts are written and kept in my head. I have about five in there right now. I edit them all the time.
• 12. I don’t like to cry, especially in front of people. I don’t like when people cry in front of me. I never know what to do.
• 13. Coffee is becoming a large part of my food pyramid.
• 14. I love Coca-Cola, in all variations and products.
• 15. I don’t even think caffeine works on me anymore. As a matter of fact, I like to drink coffee before a nap.
• 16. I think vampires are glorified zombies. And zombies seem more realistic to me.
• 17. I get offended at the lack of reaction when I tell ppl I’m going into film.
• 18. I really like hands; they’re fascinating.
• 19. I also like the sound of typing.
• 20. Not to sound creepy, I like to touch my friends. So if I like you enough, I’ll just reach out and tap your nose or poke you in the back.
• 21. I don’t have a favorite color, but lately it’s been a certain shade of blue.
• 22. It kinda bothers me when people tell me they think I’m smart.
• 23. I like boxes of chocolates, especially the boxes.
• 24. I miss Animaniacs.
• 25. I have “housewife” fantasies and they’re not sexual #most of the time# Mainly, I like the idea of doing housework and taking care of children, waiting for my husband to come home, greeting him at the door, making dinner while he tells me about his good or shitty day.
• 26. I used to not like pancakes, but ever since I’ve been eating breakfast at school, I’ve become addicted to them.
• 27. I really like musicals; in my mind, I can sing and dance.
• 28. I like the way I smell.
• 29. I don’t like to go to bed early; I think that’s why I procrastinate.
• 30. The smell of wheat toast reminds me of my childhood.
