What I Know For Sure

In 7th grade, we had an assignment in social studies class to research and write a biography about any famous person, whether living or dead. And I chose Oprah. I spent my nights as a 12 year old reading about how at the hospital, someone wrote her name on the birth certificate wrong, so instead of "Orpah (from the Bible)", they wrote "Oprah". How she grew up in rural Mississippi to parents who had only spent one night together, and her mother didn't even want to keep her in the first place. Needless to say, along with many others, I've grown up with Oprah, watching her after school when my parents weren't home. Watching her in college when I didn't have class. Watching the 20th anniversary dvds the very first time I ever hung out with one of my best friends. Watching her as she said goodbye on her last show.

It doesn't matter what your thoughts are on Oprah, you can't deny she has left a powerful, influential mark on society. She's changed the lives of thousands of people, and there isn't one person I can think of that has done so with television as their medium. So when I was watching her 2nd to last show and Tyler Perry talked about the Oprah Winfrey scholarship at Moorehouse College, I thought that was exactly what she had envisioned for her show, to give a chance - an education - to hundreds of young men who wouldn't otherwise get one. But then, I saw Kirstin Chenoweth come out and heard the first 2 notes of "For Good" from Wicked, and I lost it. It was perfect. This song was made for Oprah. I'll miss your show being on my DVR everyday, but I know this isn't the end. Thank You.

KC Is Back!

I posted this on twitter a while ago, but thought i'd share again with my blog readers. Kelly Clarkson is coming back, folks. If this song is any indication of what her new album is going to be, I cannot wait. Also, please release a live acoustic album. thanks.

(Il)legally Download This

If you want a hot summer song to blast out your windows whilst rollin down the freeway, download this. Lupe Fiasco's "Coming Up", featuring MDMA. Good album, which also features my other fave tune at the moment, "Out of my Head" ft. Trey Songz. Enjoy!

May is a Rough Month for TV Fans Like Me

May not only brings us season finales, but it also brings the decisions of networks whether to continue our favorite shows or not. My top shows from this season's upfronts:

Show I'm going to miss:

Brothers & Sisters

I've stuck with the Walker clan since the beginning. From Sarah's divorce with creepy Joe, to chasing Tommy to Mexico (should have just followed Sienna Miller's whereabouts), to Kitty's political relationship to smokeshow Rob Lowe, to Justin's marriage to who they thought was their sibling, to Nora's best boyfriend IMO, Danny Glover, I've been through all of it with them. But, alas it was time. I'll miss you the most, Kevin and Scotty. Who will be my favorite gay couple on tv now? (Kurt and Blaine? Probs. They have a lot to live up to.)

Show I'm SO excited is renewed for another season:

Parenthood

Lauren Graham. Peter Krause. + stellar cast that are too many to name. I can't even begin to explain my love for this show. Yay new Braverman baby!!
