from the "Spoiled LoGs"

The "SpoiLed" get used to flatterin speach

& being told the heights they can reach

The "SpoiLed" at times r hard 2 approach

cuz within their circle one eshhews reproach

The "SpoiLed" r precious in their own home

yet unappreciated where ever they roam

They aspire to say no, without guilt

& ur not invited 2 snuggle their their quilt

When U c em on the highway of life

beware they won't share ur struggle & strife

String of Posts Pt.1

Well, look who it is. It's Jay on the 2nd post. How is everyone doing? Special hello to the people at the Bridge class. And the teachers; Beth, Staci, Alice and whoever else has joined since then. I just wanna speak on some things I like to keep up with. This is going to be a long post. I like to cover music and the Billboard charts. The Grammys are at the end of next month so I want to predict who I think will win their category. Right now I'm just gonna do the General Category until I get more time and/or comments. OK here we go....

GENERAL CATEGORY

Record Of The Year Nominees Are: Beyonce-Halo/Black Eyed Peas-I Gotta Feeling/Kings of Leon-Use Somebody/Lady Gaga-Poker Face/Taylor Swift-You Belong With Me

My Prediction: 1. Taylor Swift, she had a monster year. The mainstream radio stations blasted that song throughout the entire year. 2. Black Eyed Peas, their CD & song hung around the top 10 for a good while on the Billboard charts.

Album Of The Year Nominees Are: Dave Matthews Band-Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King/Taylor Swift-Fearless/Beyonce-I Am Sasha Fierce/Lady Gaga-The Fame/Black Eyed Peas-The E.N.D.

My Prediction: 1. Taylor Swift, her CD stayed in the top 20 best selling CD's FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR! I personally looked at the Billboard charts every week & her CD never fell below 15 spots! 2. Beyonce, just because it's Beyonce

Song Of The Year Nominees Are: Lady Gaga-Poker Face/Maxwell-Pretty Wings/Beyonce-Single Ladies/Kings of Leon-Use Somebody/Taylor Swift-You Belong With Me

My Prediction: 1. Beyonce, another independent women motivation song 2. Taylor Swift, highly popular song that the young generation couldn't get enough of

Best New Artist Nominees Are: Zac Brown Band/Keri Hilson/MGMT/Silversun Pickups/The Ting Tings

My Prediction: 1. The Ting Tings, that song "That's Not My Name" was a high IPOD seller & you heard the song in numerous media commercials 2. Zac Brown Band, did well staying on the Billboard charts

I'll continue doing the other categories for the Grammys later. Leave me comments on what you people think!
