But I Don't Wanna Fold My Clothes! Waah Waah Waah

I've noticed on both Facebook and twitter that there is talk about a wondrous machine that can fold laundry. Very miraculous indeed. Why the machine is only around $700-$850. I mean just when we thought we couldn't get any lazier, we're about to rely on a $700-$850 machine to fold laundry. Really? I honestly think that Eric Liner from Cosmopolitan summed it up correctly by stating in his article, "The FoldiMate isn't out quite yet, but when it is finally available for sale, the price is expected to be around $850, a true bargain and not at all an absurd amount of money for an overly sophisticated machine with a ridiculously singular purpose which is to automate a relatively infrequent chore which, as far as chores go, is really not that bad. Why would you ever spend a few bucks on a folding board, when you could spend a few hundred on a robot, right?"
My point exactly. This is absurd. The fact that you would pay a few hundred dollars on a machine to do a chore for you that is not done everyday is just ridiculous. Congratulations we have now found a way to make our days even lazier and to bring in a big clunker machine that will barely be used. I thought it was a joke at first. I know I'm not about to purchase one of these. So although I replied to Cosmo's tweet, I wasn't angry at them as Liner obviously doesn't support it in his article. I just find the whole idea absurd. Gee, you know I think we should invent a machine to wipe our asses and feed us too. Why not? As they are everyday chores in our lives. It's just too hard.

Music Review: Jerad Finck Criminal EP

Image
Artist: Jerad Finck Criminal EP The first review for Jerad was the "Criminal" single. This review for the "Criminal" EP. Before I get into the review I want to define what an EP is for those that don't know. An EP stands for extended play. It contains additional tracks than the single but the track list is too short to be considered a full album. It's like a sneak peek into the artist's potential full album, a teaser if you will. Now onto the review. I was ecstatic after listening to Criminal  that when my boyfriend, Jeff returned from work I made him sit down and watch the video with me (my 20th time watching it that night, his first). I started playing the EP this morning and he immediately joined me in the living room asking me, "Is this the guy you're reviewing?" I said "Yes" and with that Jerad gains another fan. Jeff loves the music. This is what I love about music like this. It brings people together and infectious. T

Music Review Single: Leslie Becker "Slow Burn"

Image
Artist: Leslie Becker Single: Slow Burn In the beginning of this video we see Leslie walking down the street at night looking classy and ready for some fun. This song and the video reminds me a lot of the opening credits to a James Bond film. The song as well sounds like the next title track to the next James Bond film. It's hot, sultry and Leslie's voice is hypnotizing. What I like about the song is how the woman is in control. You see the men looking at her and she decides whether they get her attention or not. It's interesting because within the song and video there is a tease of mystery. She's not putting herself completely out there. This is apparent even through her vocals. It's like a "come and get me" but she decides when it goes further. I love how she sings, "I'm worth the wait" because it's an empowering statement. She knows her worth. The "slow burn" is the excitement building up to that incredible firework fee

Music Review: Whitty Whitesell

Artist: Whitty Whitesell Album: Gift of the Middle I first encountered Whitty on Twitter. I truly enjoy meeting/connecting with artists no matter their craft. He messaged me encouraging me to check out his album. *Note: It is always a great first impression when you personally reach out to people to check out/review your work. Moving on, I went right to his sight whitty.bz to check out his songs. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. In a world where it seems that the music has gotten lost in the image, his music is refreshing. It's that raw talent that has everything to do with the music and artistic expression. With the first tracks, St. Lucy Flyin' High , Firm Embrace, and Dying Myself, I can hear the stylings of the Beatles in songs such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds . There's just something about Lucy. This album takes you on a musical journey starting with what I call the "birth" mood of the first three tracks. You feel carefree, calm, and unst
