So i finally got off my ass and bought the new Mary j Blige CD. Its rough I guess I ahve been going through a period in my life. Me who used to buy roughly 3 cds, 2 dvds, and go to 2 movies a week had not been to a movie or bought a cd or DVD (save for star wars 3) for like 3 months... Insane... nonetheless, I found a sale, and had to get Mary... I put the cd in and remembered that I love Mary... Not that the album is perfect, but that is the thing about love, the imperfections that might drive you nuts with any fly by night singer are instantly forgiven with Ms. Blige... I personally trace it back to "My Life". Everyone person I really respect in my age bracket has a "My Life" story... Each time I listen to it at a different age I marvel at how much it taught me about Black women and why despite the bullshit that comes up sometimes it is why I still love them to death. It used to be accidental, but now it is purposeful, I know I refuse to even attempt to carry on a relationship with a woman who does not like Mary J Blige... I mean, what's really the point? What could I possibly have in common with a woman that didn't love "My Life"?... Exactly... nothing... So there is no point carrying on with some mockery of a relationship... correct? Yes I thought so...
BTW, Track One on the new album is great... That goes on my mental cd of songs I want a woman to sing about me... I'll have to let y'all know that list later :o)
