30 Day Challenge: Day Six

Day Six: What band or musician is most important to you ?


It didn't take me long to figure this one out; pretty much a no-brainer. Now this artist is not as mainstream so most of you might not know who she is, but I am hoping to soon help her change that. I have the pleasure to personally know an amazing singer and songwriter by the name of Ari Leticia. Right now she is in the process of really getting back into singing and building her fan base. Her voice is truly something you don't hear on radio and honestly what is missing from R&B music. I like to call her a superstar, because she is , just without the fame. She has a way of transporting you when she sings and it's some kind of magical. She is a local artist based right here in Delaware and more than anything I know she deserves for her voice to be heard all over the globe. But more than having a beautiful voice , she has a heart to match. With just enough insecurity to still remain humble, her dedication to her craft is equally matched to what she shows to her friends. And I am honored and blessed to call her friend, to call her my little sister. She's important to me because she's family & because her gift inspires me to be the best version of myself. She'll never have a clue of just how much she inspires me , with her voice; it's magic really. I could write a book on why I love this girl and why she's so awesome , but I'd much rather show you! Take a minute or two out of your time and listen to her music and I guarantee you will just as strongly as I do about her talent. Support a local artist today, they could be one of tomorrow's Top 10 Billboard Artist!




Ari Leticia, I love you girl.

30 Day Challenge: Day Five

For any of you who follow my other blog , www.justtalkilllisten.wordpress.com, you'll know that I am actually one day behind on this challenge, but that's ok, as long as I'm writing all is good in the world!

Day Five: 5 places you want to visit



1. Brazil- I had to do a project on Brazil in my nursing class in high school ( can you believe that was 6 years ago?!) and ever since then I have been in love with the culture. This is seriously on my bucket list !

 

 

 

2. Greece- Anyone who really knows me , knows that I am in love with Greek Mythology. If you read enough, and pay close attention, it has a lot of the same themes found in modern day religions. It's truly an interesting to read! I would love to someday visit Athens and see the ruins of Mount Olympus. I'll get there one day.

3. Eiffel Tower- I mean its Paris , who doesn't ? It's such an iconic landmark and totally one of those places you visit just to say you been there. Besides, wouldn't it be a lovely backdrop for a honeymoon picture , ha-ha. Wishful thinking!

4. Disney Land- Not to be confused with the infamous Disney World in Orlando, FL; I've been there about 4 times. Call me a big kid, and you'd be right, but this has always been a dream of mine. For any of my fellow Disney Channel watchers you all can remember seeing all the rides during the commercial breaks and wanting to go there. With wanting to relocate to California in the coming weeks, maybe this dream will come true sooner than I think!

5. Vegas- It's pretty much self-explanatory. Another one of those places you HAVE to go ,just to say you've been. T-minus 261 Days, 9 hours, 11 minutes & 37 secs until my 25th birthday when me and Vegas finally get to say hello to each other. Cant waitttt.

What about you all? Anything I'm missing on my list? Let me know!

30 Day Challenge: Day Four

Day Four: The meaning behind your tumblr name 

It is at this moment that I realized this challenge was suppose to be for my Tumblr page , but oh well haha.

My Tumblr name is Floetically Fluent and it simply means that I'm fluid in my poetry and very well versed in flobonics.

30 Day Challenge: Day Three

Day Three: Your day , in great detail.




Get ready to be bored senseless, but here it goes !


Today is my day off so I didn't wake up until 12pm , excluding the brief moment I was awaken at 730am by my dad telling me to put my spare tire in the car. I awoke to a beautiful encouraging and very much needed text message by my coworker and friend , who happens to be the #1 fan of this blog.  She had just read my blog post from early this morning and wanted to give me some advice! Love her. Once fully awoke, and after texting her back,  I used the bathroom like I do everyday and while on the porcelain phone I checked my Facebook, Wordpress & Instagram notifications. After that I returned to the back porch of my dads house where I've been sleeping for the last few days and turned on the TV after remembering that I had only gotten half way through last weeks Empire episode. I got through about 15 minutes of the show before remembering that I really wanted to see the new movie "Jem and the Holograms" today before it went out of the theaters ( it didn't do very well at the box office.) I looked at my phone to check movie times and the closest time was 12:55 and it was 12:56 when I looked. I decided to bite the bullet and go any way , I chose Regal People Plaza theater because it wasn't too far from me, and I hoped that the 15 minutes of trailers would give me some time. Plus my friend gave me a free movie ticket that could only be redeemed at Regal Theaters so it was an easy choice. I got there a little after 1:15 and I had missed a bit of the beginning, but that didn't deter me at all from loving every bit of the rest of the movie. I left the theater wishing that I had watched the famous 80's show that it was based off of , but being a 90s baby kind of took that chance away. I loved the film and would totally recommend it to fellow dreamers , hopeless romantics & anyone wanting to follow their hearts. After leaving the movies I stopped at the Shell gas station to get gas and from there went to the library which is also my current locationI am now updating all my blogs due to my participating in these 30 day writing challenges.. I updated my Wordpress blog first , worked on my artist's YouTube header and then headed to Blogger where I caught up on Holly's Stilettos With My Latte blog!  I am right now, 5:21 pm, listening to Beyoncé- "Still In Love" and concluding this blog post. Today has been uneventful , but good all the same. Heading to BWW for dinner, in an hour or so, with my friend/artist and from there going to the studio to lay down vocals for her next single! Ari Leticia is going to be the next big R&B/Pop crossover artist and I want you all to be along with her for that journey. Well that's all for now! If you actually read this entire thing , you the real MVP.

Late Night Honesty: Draft Two

There's this guy I met a few weeks back that made me this proposition , one I immediately declined, but one I am now reconsidering . He was everything I knew I didn't need and it made me want him even more . The temptation , the wanting it's all very new to me . Operating in the flesh is so very new to me . I'm so use to having this super disciplined guard that I was able to put up without effort and now I feel like it's giving in. I know that waiting is what I want to do , what I need to do , but I can't help but to wonder . Curiosity is going to be the death of me .

He wants to just "play around."

It sounds ludicrous , ridiculous & absurd and yet exactly what my body has been wanting . I fight the urge to text him and tell him to come get me . Take me somewhere I've never been , do something I've never done. I can be the girl who just has fun , right? It's just fun .. What's the harm ? I know the dangers , the consequences and for once I don't give a damn. It could be the 1:40am that's getting to me . It could be the 24 years of waiting . I just want to feel something. Just once. I want to be held so tight it takes away the pain , be kissed so deep I forget my name . I don't want love . I want to be numb .
