Spring ( a haiku)

Showers now subside

Warm sand and skies embrace me

Prelude to Summer

Jhene Aiko Mixtape- Sailing Souls

Beautiful songstress Jhene Aiko dropped her mixtape entitled Sailing Souls on her birthday March 16th. For those who aren't familiar with Jhene, she may be recognized from the B2K era, being featured in their videos; as well as having her own song and video for the 2001 hit No L.O.V.E, while being part of the then popular T.U.G Ent. Since then she has had underground hits such as Wait No More and the summer hit July featuring rapper Drake.

This mixtape showcases her smooth melodic voice as well as her laid back "hippie" style, in these r&b and neo-soul reminiscent tunes. Tracks such as H.O.E. featuring singer Miguel showcase her now grown up demeanor, much different from her former teenie songs.

Overall, Sailing Souls showcases Jhene's pure talent through this independent project. Having features from artists such as Drake and Kanye is sure to draw attention and produce more mainstream exposure for the singer; though her die hard fans will agree that whatever she produces is gold.

The McLobster: Coming to a Drive Thru Near You?

Today Twitter was flooded with news and discussions about this mystery sandwich known as the McLobster coming to American McDonald's restaurants. Immediately upon hearing the name of the sandwich it made me scrunch my face up. Lobster...at McDonalds, just didn't sound like a good idea. How would they be able to serve lobster at a reasonable price without cutting corners on quality, so I figured it must be some substitute meat like the infamous KRAB with a K.

There were people going back and forth about whether or not this was a hoax or rumor about the sandwich being real so I did a little research. Apparently the sandwich DOES exist, is made with authentic lobster meat and has been available for a number of years in New England and Atlantic areas of Canada, where lobster roll sandwiches are already typically served.

The origin of this rumor about it being tested in select cities for national distribution has so far been determined to be false.

The one up side I can see for this sandwich not being available is the fact that after searching the Internet for photos of the McLobster, I couldnt find a single one that looked appetizing. So far every picture Ive seen has looked like, for lack of a better word "Throw Up On A Bun" eww

Back to the drawing board Ronald
