Mary J Blige The London Sessions - Album Review

Mary has hit the studios once again and belts out a whole new sound for her. Being a lover of Mary J Blige I have to say The London Sessions is unexpected. The first few tracks start off slow and almost gospel. They take you through a more spiritual side and her opening up and saying "I dont need your permission."

As the album continues we get into a R&B Techno Dance Fusion, which when paired with her ineradicable voice, creates a whole new sound that is sure to bring in a new audience. I must say that I was expecting classic MJB but am extremely happy with this album. Its refreshing and on point.

– Mary J. Blige has once again confounded expectations and ventured into new musical territory by crossing the Atlantic to collaborate with some of this decade’s most celebrated UK musical talent – including Disclosure, Eg White, Emile Sandé, Jimmy Napes, Naughty Boy, SAM ROMANS and Sam Smith – and recorded a new studio album, The London Sessions.

Mary Lambert - Heart on my sleeve Album Review

I just got a copy of Mary Lambert's Heart on my Sleeve, this is one of the most heart felt and personalized, put all the cards on the table, albums I have heard in a while.

Brutal and honest, Mary sings from the heart about her ups and downs in life and most of all the emptiness she feels.
Each song is like a page from her diary. A no punches held look at what she keeps inside, and how he anguishes over her inability to properly communicate her feelings to those around and to her love interest.

Though the album is only 11 songs in total, you feel as if you are walking with her as she tells the story of her life. Powerful and moving, many times I was able to relate to her struggles of self worth, and just wanting to be loved.

Secrets - This is a very fun song about how she is depressed, bipolar, and how she really is tired of always having to hide secrets from everyone. She belts it out to tell the world, love me or leave me but this is who I am. It to me is a fun anthem that is likened to Lady GaGa's Born this way. Its a raw, in your face look at how no matter what the world says about you, that you need to be your own cheerleader and take a stand and be happy being you.

So Far Away - Laments the long distance between her and a love interest. How she wishes that they were back together and didnt have to be apart from one another saying "im a better person with you near...but you are so far away." Anyone who has ever had to be away from the person that they love or care about can truly understand this longing. I connected with it remembering a few of my past love interests who I am no longer in contact with.

Rib Cage - This song is about how she is open and exposed and how she feels that people take from her but never give back, and how she doesn't know how to fill the space left behind from people using her and walking all over her.  I myself dealing with depression and being bipolar feel this way more often than I'd like to admit to. The constant struggle of putting yourself out just to make others happy and the empty feeling you have at the end of the day.

Dear One - A personal sonnet to someone who she is in love with and feels at peace being around. It speaks of how she has a 'moth to a flame' need to be with this person but that they act as if she isnt alive. This resounded with me and helped me to connect with her and this song. Many times I have thought about just telling people how I feel only to not do so because of self doubt.

When you sleep - Asks the question so many of us wonder when we like someone, "do you think of me when Im not around?" She sings about the different scenario's in which they have the chance to think about her but if they ever did/do.  She takes it a step further by saying 'I could make a home and marry you and completely disappear" meaning (at least to me) that she would give up her whole self just to make this person happy if they would just only acknowledge her.

Chasing the Moon - A more upbeat song. this song is about escape and wanting to out run the problems and wanting to make the wonderful night last forever by "chasing the moon". This song reminded me of some of the great times that I've had with friends, and how it was so amazing that we all wished that it never had to end.

Jessie's Girl - This is a cover of the original song by Rick Springfeild but done in a more broken hearted, soulful way.

Monochromatic -This speaks about how emphatic she is and how she dreams in color but lives in a monochromatic world of pain. She sees it on the blank expressions of those she passes and feels that she is to vibrant to live in an emotionally dead city. It is a very interesting piece. It to me drums up imagery of walking through the slums.

Heart on my sleeve - The Album Namesake. Again she laments the unspoken thoughts, feelings, and desires she has for a love interest. She states in the song "when you opened your door, you opened what I had closed". To me this sounds like she let down her guard and allowed this person to come in.

Wounded Animal -  An apologetic Ballard of how she is sorry for not being more sympathetic for this persons break up and broken heart. But that basically she saw an opening and went for it and hoped for the best.

Sum of our parts -  In this song that builds to a rampant visualization of having to fight and become 'more than our scars....mare than the sum of our parts'. This is a song about rising from the ashes and not letting something keep you down.  Its about how far you've come regardless the pain of the past.

This album really is soulful and full of pain, regret, and strength. Anyone who has ever felt awkward growing up, or like the 3rd wheel, or just left out can relate to at least one of these songs. It is a close look at the pain she has harbored and a testament to the strength she has in order to push forward.

Glooko Rolling out new Bluetooth Connected Device

Glooko has been on the cutting edge of Diabetic technology since day one. They have set the bar and now others are frantically trying to follow in their blazing foot steps.
Recently Glooko sent me their MeterSync Blue, which is a meter connecting device that allows you to upload your meter readings via Bluetooth.

Having worked with Glooko in the Past I was excited to be able to test out the MeterSync Blue. I opened up my Glooko App and began syncing my meter.



As you can see from my glucose results my sugars run high. But I was really impressed with how quickly it synced. I have used the other cables that Glooko had come out with, but really like the fact that all you have to do is plug in your meter, push the button on the MeterSync Blue and all your info goes directly to your phone or Android/iOS device.

[caption id="attachment_3079" align="alignleft" width="140"] Original Android Glooko Sync[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_3081" align="alignright" width="216"] New Glooko MeterSync Blue[/caption]

I am still not to thrilled about it being a 3 piece system like the Android version. I would have liked to see it be a more cohesive 2 piece system, that would closely resemble the iPhone sync cable system that is all one cord.

[caption id="attachment_3080" align="alignright" width="163"] iPhone Glooko Sync cable. Notice its all one piece.[/caption]

With it being a 3 piece system it seems like there is more room for you to lose some of the items you need in order to properly test. Another thing that you will notice between the MeterSync Blue and the original Android Sync cable is that they did away with the 3.5mm jack that you would have allowed you to plug the device directly into the meter and transmit that way. Had they kept the 3.5mm plug they could have just shipped the 2.5mm adapter that would have made it a 2 piece system and would save the company on production and shipping costs, and would have eliminated the need for the 3.5mm cord. However, that being said I must say that this is by far my most favorite of all the Glooko products. Being a fan of Bluetooth I love anything that can sync up using it.

My over all rating of the MeterSync Blue is 9.5 out of 10. Had they kept the 3.5mm plug and or made the additional 3.5mm cord part of the system and not a separate detachable I would have given it a 10. The MeterSync Blue is not yet available for purchase but you can click here  to be notified when it becomes available for public purchase.

Ciglites cool crisp innovative

Recently a company called Ciglites contacted me with a chance to try out their e-cigarettes, and me being a sucker for product reviews I hopped on the offer.
Having done other e-cig reviews in the past I wasn’t to sure as to what to expect from this company as it seems that everyone has their own formulation.

I was happy to see the sleek sexy design of their packaging. To me I like having sharp looking items, it doesn’t matter what you are selling or marketing. So seeing how amazing these looked I was visually appeased by them.

 

Being like many other E products it was really simple and straight forward. Attach cartridge to battery, and draw. What I wasn’t ready for was the cool smooth tastes that came out, as well as the very impressive vape cloud. The intensity of the cloud made me feel like the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. I am not sure how they formulated their brand, but it wasn’t a throat hit like some of other products out there (or that I’ve tired.)

I have been using my electronic cigarette from Ciglites for over a week without having to recharge the battery or change the cartridge. I am really super happy about them and love the fact that I have several other cartridges that I can enjoy. E Cigarettes are really an amazing invention that do help to cut down and even quit smoking all together. Unlike traditional cigarettes, were you can not control the amount of nicotine that you get per cigarette, you can with the amount of nicotine that you order. So if you are a long term smoker who likes bold flavor then you can order 24mg of nicotine. If you are trying to cut back you have the option of 0mg – 18mg.

Because traditional cigarettes are carcinogenic and addictive, many times smokers are never able to fully quit. With these you can wean yourself off of it, and then get amazing flavors such as Cherry, Vanilla, Cappuccino, and so many other flavors that you begin using your e-cigarette as a luxury item verses an addictive cancer causing killer.

And because E-cigs contain no tar, or odor you are pretty much able to enjoy them where conventional cigarettes and smoking are prohibited. Which is another reason that I love them. And you don’t have that ‘smokers’ smell, or yellowing teeth to deal with. It is over all a more healthy alternative to traditional tobacco consumption.

All and all I must say that I am really happy and pleased to have reviewed Ciglites E-Cigarettes. I have already began recommending them to my smoker friends. So if you are a smoker or even a Vaper, check them out and I'm sure you too will make the switch.

Before I Die–post taken from candychang.com

What is important to you 2011-present

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When I lost someone I loved very much, I thought about death a lot. This helped clarify my life, the people I want to be with, and the things I want to do, but I struggled to maintain perspective. I wanted to know what was important to the people around me and I wanted a daily reminder. So with help from old and new friends, I painted the side of an abandoned house in my neighborhood in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” so anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space.

It was all an experiment and I didn’t know what to expect. By the next day the wall was entirely filled out and it kept growing. Before I die I want to… sing for millions, see my daughter graduate, eat all the candy and sushi in the world, straddle the International Date Line, be someone’s cavalry, live off the grid, build a school, hold her one more time, abandon all insecurities, be completely myself…  People’s responses made me laugh out loud, tear up, and feel consolation during my own tough times. The wall transformed a neglected space into a constructive one. It helped us understand our neighbors in new and enlightening ways. It showed us we are not alone. It provided a contemplative space to restore perspective and remember why we want to be alive in the world today.

I created the original wall in February of 2011 and after receiving hundreds of requests, my Civic Center colleagues and I created a Before I Die toolkit and the project site beforeidie.cc to help people make a wall with their community. You can also download all files for free to remix or create your own stencils. Thanks to passionate people, over 50 Before I Die walls have been created in over 10 languages and in over 20 countries, including Kazakhstan, South Africa, Portugal, Japan, and Argentina. Each wall is unique and reflects the people of that community and each wall is a tribute to living an examined life. The project shows you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. It also pushes the boundaries of what our public spaces are fundamentally made of. With more ways to share our hopes, fears, and stories in public space, the people around us can not only help us make better places, they can help us lead better lives.

“One of the most creative community projects ever.” - The Atlantic

Developed with support from the Black Rock Arts Foundation. February 2011 and beyond. 41′ x 8′, Chalkboard paint, stencils, spray paint, chalk. New Orleans, LA. With permission from the property owner, residents of the block, the neighborhood association’s blight committee, the Historic District Landmarks Commission, the Arts Council, and the City Planning Commission. Installation assistance: Kristina Kassem, Alan Williams, Cory Klemmer, Anamaria Vizcaino, James Reeves, Alex Vialou, Earl Carlson, and Gary Hustwit.

First responses

Within 24 hours of stenciling the wall.

Kristina Kassem Once the wall was filled to the max or looking janky, we washed it down and started over again.

Update Sept 22, 2011: After seven months, the first wall comes to a happy end: the house will be turned into a home again thanks to new owners. We painted over the wall and stenciled one last thing – something Wendell Pierce said a few months ago that has stayed with Candy since: “Our thoughts are to the individual as our art is to the community.” It was ready to go but from the ashes come more.

Update Sept 22, 2011: After receiving many requests, we created a Before I Die toolkit to help people make a wall with their community! It includes a one-column stencil made of thick mylar so it’s easy to hang rigid against a wall. It also includes a title stencil, a guide, metal chalk holders, gloves, and chalk. All files are also available for free download if you’d like to create your own stencils.

“Death can inspire life. Especially in New Orleans, on the corner of Marigny and Burgundy, where the Before I Die project has used the specter of urban decay and death to create art and inspire. Using a boarded up house as a canvas, artist Candy Chang transformed a haunting reminder of blight and divestment into a powerful affirmation of human life and imagination.” – Life and Times
