what is something that nobody knows about you?

uuuummmm, I don't think anybody knows that I enjoy sleeping upside down in my bed I don't know why it just seems more IDK ummm comfortable.

ask me anything ,You know u wanna know my deepest darkest secrets

All eyes on you

as I tossed and turned unable to achieve sleep unable to control

anxiety unable to comprehend why
2Pac is not with us
if those who lived by the sword died by the sword there would be no
white men on earth
if those who lived on hatred died on hatred there would be no KKK
if those who lived by lies died by lies there would be nobody on wall
street in executive suites in academic offices instructing the young
don't tell me he got what he deserved he deserved a chariot and
the accolades of a grateful people
he deserved his life
it is as clear as a mountain stream as defining as a lightning strike
as terrifying as sun to vampires
2Pac told the truth
there were those who called it dirty gansta rap inciting there were
those who never wanted to be angry at the conditions but angry
at the messenger who report: your kitchen has roaches your toilet
is overflowing your basement has so much water the rats are in the
living room
your house is in disorder
and 2Pac told you about it
what a beautiful boy graceful carriage melodic voice sharp wit intellectual
breadth what a beautiful boy to lose
not me never me I do not believe east coast west coast I saw
them murder Emmett Till I saw them murder Malcolm X I saw
them murder Martin Luther King I witnessed them shooting
Rap Brown I saw them beat LeRoi Jones I saw them fill their jails
I see them burning churches not me never me I do not believe
this is some sort of mouth action this is some sort of political
action and they picked well they picked the brightest freshest
fruit from the tallest tree what a beautiful boy
but he will not go away as Malcolm did not go away as Emmett
Till did not go away your shooting him will not take him from us
his spirit will fill our hearts his courage will strengthen us for the
challenge his truth will straighten our backbones
you know, Socrates had a mother she too watched her son drink
hemlock she too asked why but Socrates stood firm and would
not lie to save himself 2Pac has a mother the lovely Afeni had
to bury her son it is not right
it is not right this young warrior is cut down it is not right for
the old to bury the young it is not right
this generation mourns 2Pac as my generation mourned Till as we
all mourn Malcolm this wonderful young warrior
Sonia Sanchez said when she learned of his passing she walked all day
walking the beautiful warrior home to our ancestors I just cried as all
mothers cry for the beautiful boy who said he and Mike Tyson would
never be allowed to be free at the same time who told the truth about
them and who told the truth about us who is our beautiful warrior
there are those who wanted to make him the problem who wanted
to believe if they silenced 2Pac all would be quiet on the ghetto
front there are those who testified that the problem wasn't the conditions
but the people talking about them
they took away band so the boys started scratching they took away
gym so the boys started break dancing the boys started rapping
cause they gave them the guns and the drugs but not the schools and
libraries
what a beautiful boy to lose
and we mourn 2Pac Shakur and we reach out to his mother and we
hug ourselves in sadness and shame
and we are compelled to ask:
R U Happy, Mz Tucker? 2Pac is gone
R U Happy?

Xavier Rudd concert Recap

The Xavier Rudd co

ncert was an experience let

me tell you. I always find it exciting t

o watch bands that open because they are so talented most of the time. The band that opened for Xavier Rudd was Honey Honey and they were amazing to watch. They had amazing chemistry the duo. The guitarist had seemed to be having a great time

playing and had a great time interacting with the

crowd. This band has great music and you should definently check them out:

http://honeyhoneyband.com

Xavier Rudd took the stage afterHoney Honey, wearing his skinny jeans and

walking with bare feet. I was in the front when he first took the stage and I got kind of

pushed against the railing. I got to move below the stage in front of the railing so I could take pictures and that wasn't cramped at all. Then when the first three songs were over I had to fight my way through the crowed to get back to the railing and encountered a few attitudes along the way.

The Arena that he played in was packed so many people were dancing and singing along. His music was honestly speaking to my soul and there are very few people that I believe can do that. A girl behind me was singing and jumping and was almost moved to tears while she was screaming "I Love you Xavier". Xavier had like this coolness about him that allowed the crowed to feel what he was feeling. Also this man is truly talented he was playing like a gazillion instruments at the same time. I love people that challenge the word musician and he does that. He makes you question what a real musician is. Especially in his song "Messages", which is my favorite song. I hope you all get to go see him in concert because it truly was an amazing experience

I See Stars Interview

Hey guys I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while but I want to talk to you guys about the current episode of "Artist Of The World", Which features the amazing band "I See Stars", I interviewed "I See Stars", at this years Ap tour, which stopped in Washington, D.C . Before I interviewed the band I got to actually see the concert which is cool because I never really do that. I usually just interview the bands and then go home so this was a first for me. Yeah, so when I saw I see stars on stage it was an amazing experience to see how much passion their fans had for them. The entire venue was jumping up and down and singing along to their songs everyone knew all of the words. After they performed I got to get on their tour bus, and that's where we did the interview and it was sooooo much fun. You can go to the photo page on this blog or click http://justme-michelah.blogspot.com/p/pictures.html to see my picture with them. The band had some interesting things to say so I hope you check out the interview on my video page or click on the A.O.A tab and check out the series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKkK4e0bI4M&feature=channel_video_title

AP Tour Recap

Hey guys I'm so excited to write this my interview series allows me to meet some really great people and have these amazing experiences. So tonight I got to go to AP Tour which was let me just say an experience.

The crowd was amazing to see that much passion from fans was really inspiring. I got there late so I missed The conditions and Versaemerge who I really wanted to see but let me tell you I was not disappointed. I see stars was who I saw first and they were amazing just the passion from them playing and the chemistry the guys had on stage. They did not let their age hinder them they performed as well if not better than other rock bands I have seen. I also got an interview with the band please stay tuned for that.

The next band I saw was drugs They had the crowd running and jumping and singing along that experience was so powerful to be apart of.

Over all to see the love these people had for their bands was mind boggling. The Black Veiled brides fans all came out dressed like the band I mean there was really dedication and the bands were really good they gave their fans just as much love as the fans gave them. I guess overall I would like to just say that these bands did not start of being big they worked for it. They know who they are and they stick to that and their fans love them because they are who they are, so if you have a dream I say don't stop go for it because eventually you will have people supporting you as well

Kina Grannis - Stairwells Review

I am so excited to be writing this review for this great album and this even greater artist. If you have not already heard about Ms. Kina Grannis she is someone you should get familiar with. Kina didn't have the typical way of building her confidence as a performer. While attending USC Kina would sing in stairwells. Like a lot of todays stars she joined youtube and made a video and entered a contest. A few months later her video for her song a message from your heart was aired during the Superbowl and she walked away with a record deal. This album I have to say is truly soothing her sweet tones and inspiring lyrics are easy on the ears. I really have to praise her as a songwriter, because listening to her song was like reading pages from her diary. The songs felt very personal. The first song on the album is "World in front of me", This song is rightfully the first song on the album because it makes you want to get out and face the world which isn't easy. The second song is "Message from your heart", which has awe inspiring lyrics such as

"Don't break me I bruise easily the source of both your love and misery", and "This is a message from your heart, your most devoted body part taking blood and making art", this song gives your heart a personality and makes you appreciate it a little bit more than you usually do. A song I also enjoyed was "Valentine" it is a song you would be listening to by yourself or your girlfriends just celebrating love whether you were in a relationship or not. I also enjoyed the song "Stars Falling Down", Overall all the songs on this album will put you in a different mood and you will enjoy every one of them. I highly recommend you buy this album which you can purchase at http://www.kinagrannis.com. Thank you guys so much for reading my review I hope you go buy her album because she is so talented.
