Frank Ocean Did It Again

Is Boys Don't Cry the new Detox?

Frank Ocean Did It Again

Dang it, Frank Ocean. Why must you do this to your fans over and over? For more than a year now, Frank Ocean has been teasing his supporters with talk about releasing a new album. Since his very popular Channel Orange album came out, people were constantly inquiring when he was going to be making new music. Near the end of 2014, Ocean announced the start to his new album Boys Don't Cry, which was suppose to be released in July 2015.

It is now the middle of August, three years after his first album and more than a year after his third album was suppose to be released and there is still no sign of Boys Don't Cry. Throughout 2016, Frank Ocean has said once a month, if not more, that he was going to release the album on "insert date here".


Frank Ocean has his website set up for the album (boysdontcry.co), but there are no obvious hints or samples of the music he has been working on and there is nothing that gives his fans a clue of when it will be released.

Last weekend the album was suppose to be released on August 5th, 2016, after Frank Ocean had posted a live stream with nothing but white noise playing in a place that looked like a warehouse. After many fans were disappointed with no sign of the highly anticipated album, Apple music released information on August 12th, 2016 that the album would be released within "the next 24 to 72 hours".

And just as many of us expected...there is still no new music. Now, almost three days after Apple said that Ocean's album was suppose to be out(again), there is not even a sample to be heard. Once again, supporters have been let down. Will Boys Don't Cry ever come out? Fans are becoming upset, but does that mean they will not buy his album or stop supporting him? Probably not. Ocean's Boys Don't Cry is slowly becoming the new Detox, an album which was never released by Dr. Dre.

Dear Frank Ocean,
Please stop playing these games with your fan's emotions. The constant anticipation and disappointment is all too much for us to handle.

Sincerely,
Your Loving Real Fans

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
