Project Runway
I have not commented on Project Runway at all this season, mostly because I haven't watched regularly. However, Christian is a darling. I am rooting for him! Rami and Ricky are both hot...

Hold On
Yolanda Adams
You've Got dream and
you've got gold
there's a vision buring down in your soul
but hold on
theres nothing that you can't do
You've gotta be driven,
motivated too
stir up the gift that God has placed in you
Hold on
the Futures looking bright for you
Chorus
No matter how hard it seem
never give always believe
hold on, hold on to your dreams
Though your facing adversities
you can still be all you wanna be
hold on, hold on to your dreams
Determination is the key
In this cold world, if your gonna successed
Hold On
theres nothing that you can't do
Don't be discouraged by the trials you face
Cause your beautiful mind would be a terrible thing to waste
hold on Hold on
the futures looking bright for you
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Hold on, be strong (Never let noboby tell you can't make it)
Hold your head up high, keep your eyes on the prize
(Your dreams are met for you to obtain)
And Your labor is not in vain
Repeat Chorus

Young Hearts, Run Free
Kym Mayzelle
What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Ending up just another lost and lonely wife
You count up the years and they will be filled with tears
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving, every woman that he can, aahh haa,
Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
It's easier said than done
When I just can't break away, just can't break away
Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, umm, my man and me,
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool with
When loving is all there is, say that I don't love you
It's high time just one crack at life
Who want to live in, trouble and strife
My mind must be free to learn all I can about me
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Caress the babies every time they say
Self preservation is what's really going on today, aahh, ho
Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
How can I turn loose
When I just can't break away, just can't break away
Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, umm, my man and me, aahh haa
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool with
When loving is all there is, say that I don't love you
Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, umm, my man and me, aahh haa
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool with
When loving is all there is, say that I don't love you.

Til You Come Back to Me
Luther Vandross
I wanna tell you, baby
The changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you, missin' you, oh...oh...

Cheryl Underwood is a trip! "And I told ya'll, come to me 'cause I watch Fox News. Theat's where they say anything they think they can get away with-and thats where we get our secret codes for the secret meetings we're supposed to attend."
Did Charlie Rangel's District Go For Obama?
In the link above, John Nichols reports on concerns about voting irregularities in the New York Congressional District that contains Harlem. Nichol's reports that at some voting precincts, Obama recieved zero votes. This does not happen in elections. People should definitely keep their eye on this one.

Read the story above.
In my world, Josephine Baker is a saint, on the scale of being a sister of Jesus. To be prayed to as if she were the Virgin Mary.
God Bless Castro, God Bless the Cuban people and God Bless Cuba!
