So if you know me, you know I like Hip Hop/R&B music, always have.  And since I’ve become a mom and my time alone is VERY limited.  When I have the car to myself, I like to find a great song, turn the music up loud and sing along.  (Yes, only when alone, I won’t torture anyone else with my singing.)  So lately I’ve been hearing this song over and over again, or maybe because of the words it sticks out every time it plays.

Ok, so let me get this straight he says  . . . “I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but you look better with the lights off.”  Who in the world WOULDN’T take that the wrong way.  I mean, women’s insecurity with our bodies is an epidemic due to obesity, magazine images, cruelty and just our own warped thoughts, but then a song comes along and says . . . you look better with the lights off.  I don’t care what anything else in this song says, how in the world would you not be offended a man if he said that to you?

So that’s my two cents.  I am working really hard every day to lose weight, get in shape and get to a place where I am proud of my appearance.  Can we just get a song that says something a little bit more empowering . . .
