Kanye West: what is going on?

I know Kanye had his moment at the AMA recently, but what I can't get past is the new weird album. 808's and Heartbreak is just too bizarre for Kanye. I know some may think that he is brave for stepping outside his artistic norm but this is just plain bizarre. Kanye sings throughout the whole album. I REPEAT, he sings throughout the whole album. I kept waiting for Kanye to drop some slick lines. I waited and waited but it still didn't come. I know he lost his mother and maybe he is hurting from that but crossing into RnB is a whole other game. He even had Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne on the album, but it just isn't worth the buy. I have every single Kanye album, but this one makes me feel like I've been sold to a strange family for dinner. The beats are cool -we all know Kanye is a great producer- but outside of that, he falls short on this album. He should donate the album to people. This is not Kanye caliber.

Restaurant Daniel

If you haven't been to the restaurant Daniel in New York City then you are certainly missing out.

I recently took a lady friend to the restaurant for a birthday celebration and had quite a fantastic evening. It was my very first time at the establishment and I wasn't really sure what to think of it. I have never really been a big fan of french cuisine, but I wanted something new, to kind of change things around a little.

When we entered, we were greeted by a wonderful french hostess. We sat in the foyer and drank wine while they prepared our table. We were so deep in conversation about the look of the restaurant that I was almost disappointed when told that our table was ready. But when we got to the table it just got better. We were seated against the back wall so we could see the beauty of the place. The lights were at a perfect shade which created a romantic atmosphere. And when the food came we went into overdrive. Since I'm not a food critic, I do not have the words in my arsenal to describe every single bite, but I have to tell you that the food was amazing. The service was fantastic. I felt like royalty even though I knew I could hardly afford the bill. I went over my budget, but happily so.
