Waking up at 4:32 in the morning is never something I have planned. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find me waking up before 5am – ever. Unless I’m taking a family member or a good friend to the airport, I’m not doing it. This past Sunday was an exception. Not only was I expecting [...]

The first time I saw Ms. Badu’s Window Seat video, I was completely captivated by the song – it has a nice strolling vibe to it like a Sunday afternoon in the park. Coupled with her sweet-like-honey vocals and a solid groove, this song had me loving it immediately. What’s kinda funny, though, is the [...]
