Whitney Houston - Fine (Official Music Video)

Song in my head

Whitney

(I

could

write

an

encyclopedia-sized

book

about

loneliness

but

I

don't

want

to

see

my

life

on

paper)

Rest in peace, Whitney Houston

I love the Lord

I love the Lord; He heard my cries,
And pitied every groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I’ll hasten to His throne.

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
    he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
    I will call on him as long as I live.
Psalm 116:1-2

Fontella Bass

People may not know her name, but almost all know  Fontella Bass' most famous song, "Rescue Me," a track Bass wrote and recorded in 1965 and that would go on to become one of the most famous, beloved tracks of the era.

Another reminder

The person that’s always talkin’, you don’t have to worry about that person. The person that while you’re in his face, he’s just lookin’ at you with a smile on his face, that’s the guy you worry about.
      --Michael Clark Duncan

True.

   Rest In Peace

Tomorrow's not promised to us.
For me, Michael Jackson's and Whitney Houston's deaths drove it home for me.
Michael Clark Duncan's death is another reminder.

My thoughts regarding the movie Sparkle

I just got back from seeing Sparkle. Great movie. It's still surreal, knowing that we will never see another new movie or see another new video of Whitney Houston, or to see her, except in old clippings. And that had me feeling sad all throughout the movie. I found myself looking forward to every scene with her in it.  And then towards the end of the movie when she sang His Eye Is On The Sparrow, I lost it. Yeah, I was tearing up, in my silence. 

Great movie though.

If you’d told me from the start that you’re playing around

It's alright, had a dream last night

That the world stopped turning

But your madness it kept on

Guess I wasn’t too bright

And I really wasn’t learning

Should have seen it all along.

All those sweet (sweet) sweet kisses (yeah)

And those sweet (sweet) red roses (yeah)

They convinced me it was you

I made you (you) exclusive (yeah)

Now it's so (now it’s conclusive that) conclusive

That you wasn’t doing it too.

Chorus (x2):

If you’d told me from the start that you’re playing around

It would have been fine…

Then I would have played too and I guess

I would have had a good time.

Something didn’t feel right, and I wish I knew it

I just could not see your games

I got respect for you, and you put me through it

Why would you bring me so much pain.

I would stick up for you, 'cause I did (I did adore you) adore you

While my dogs would chew you out

Tried to be so nice on those lonely nights

(On those lonely, lonely, lonely nights)

But I should have figured you out.

Chorus (x2)

It was Cocaine

that did her in.

Whitney Houston's cause of death: Accidental drowning, cocaine use, heart disease

(CBS/AP) Whitney Houston's death was caused by accidental drowning, but heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors, according to coroner's officials.

The announcement Thursday ends weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11, at the age of 48.
She had cocaine in her system when she died, the coroner added. Marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril and Benadryl were also found in her system, but did not contribute to the singer's death. No foul play or trauma is suspected.
Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the day before the Grammy Awards.
Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner's officials said they weren't in excessive quantities.
Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey says cocaine metabolites were found in Houston's system, and it was listed as a contributing factor in her death. He says the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user.
She was laid to rest in New Jersey on Feb. 19, the day after she was mourned at a star-studded funeral. Her will leaves everything to her 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
