From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Thu, 02:52 am

Something has happened to me emotionally where I have been the victim of a campaign of verbal and emotional abuse. I cannot go into too much detail but it is related to my living situation. I have alerted my mother to the news. I will not be blogging as I... [view entry]

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of ‘The Wait is Ova’ Video
From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Tue, 02:25 pm

Okies, this video is sliced into three parts for this review. Good: I like the song, and as usual, the video has warmed me up even more to the song. It has a slight hypnotic tone to it. I can imagine it being played in secret dens and lairs, where... [view entry]

How to stay focused?
From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Tue, 02:05 am

“Is that a real Afro?”
From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Sat 31 Oct, 11:50 am

Rihanna’s Album Cover: ‘Rated R’
From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Sat 31 Oct, 11:26 am

Russian Roulette is growing on me, but I am not sure about the direction of this album. I suppose we will find out when it is released in mid-November, but image wise, I do not understand how this is different from GGGB. Rihanna succeeds in her element when the production... [view entry]



What to do next?
From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Sat 31 Oct, 03:06 am

Are you ever stuck on what to do? I handed in my MA project in last term. One segment of it was creating my careers website/blog for people who want to work in entry level PR, which you can view here. I am so pleased and humbled to say that... [view entry]



Was This A Mistake?
From Charcoal Ink - Proud Member of the Mike Mafia Fri 30 Oct, 01:56 pm

There is something I haven’t divulged about the Stamp Man situation. And I think I made a massive mistake. I haven’t even told my friend’s because I am really embarrassed… Prior to going to Paris, it was my mother’s birthday and she came to London for the weekend. It was... [view entry]
