When Life Gives You Lemons

On Saturday, April 23, 2016, Beyonce dropped her new visual album #LEMONADE on HBO. This was literally the talk around the world as many people were anxious to see it. Anxious may not even be the correct term! Those who lived outside of the U.S depended on periscope and live streams in order to watch her new masterpiece. Lemonade became available exclusively on Tidal before the end of the screening and fans were able to watch it for free on HBO, for 24 hours on Sunday, April 24, 2016. Queen Bey can never stop amazing her fans with her releases and the message in her music. Lemonade clearly reflected a process of self healing as a result of infidelity. Many people wondered who she was referring to in her music as it was no secret that her father exemplified infidelity in his marriage with her mother. People wondered if these were Beyonce's uncut thoughts and reflections on their circumstance. However, if you listen closely you can tell she is actually referring to Jay-Z, her husband. As the intro in "Pray You Catch Me" stated, "You remind me of my father, a magician. Able to exist in two places at once." Beyonce creatively stated that Jay-Z is like her father with his cheating. In this same song she also sung about catching him and confronting him about it. Each song was just pure art and you can feel her pain through the duration of the album and the visuals only got better! Let's not forget about the 'hot sauce' (bat) in her bag.... That was a complete game changer that no one was ready for! People used to think that hot sauce, as referred to in her formation album, was really hot sauce. Even more, everyone knows that social media is the place to go to look for all comments regarding #LEMONADE. Many tweeters said that if Beyoncé, is getting cheated on, there's no hope for them because she is the baddest woman on Earth. She's Queen Bey. But I want to know what you all think. Do you think that just because she got cheated on there is no hope for you or your future relationships? Do you believe that infidelity can be fixed? Last but not least, tell me what you think about Beyonce's new album and her visuals and sound. Remember that celebrity couples will always be in the limelight and because of their higher ranking, it is easier for them to have anyone they want because women, and men, flock to celebrities! Beyonce has not filed for an actual divorce with Jay-Z because if she did, that would be NO secret to the world. When life gives you lemons, make #lemonade.

Our Safety

In Chicago there was derailment at O’Hare International Airport that caused the removal of the smashed Blue line cars that were involved. An eight-car train jumped the tracks and landed on the stairs and escalators at 3 a.m. in the morning. 32 people were injured and 3 lawsuits were brought against CTA. CTA officials hope to reopen the station by the weekend, but of course, this will cost a lot of money. But before even thinking about reopening the station, they must first repair the damages to the platform, stairs, and escalators before determining if it's safe to reopen. The prices of the damages are estimated to be about 6 million in equipment damage. The person that's supposed to be watching out for incidents like this, admitted to dozing off as the train pulled into the station. She admits also that she didn’t wake back up until the train hit close to the end of the bumper. This can be many lawsuits against the lady as well.

I personally feel that there should have been more consequences and further investigation for the woman who was “supposedly” had the role of watching out for dangers or any potential safety hazards. But I do agree that they should hurry to get their station back together. Situations like this often occur and I believe that it is strictly because the importance of society in the world has greatly declined. People fail to realize that freak accidents happen all the time, so when it comes to train stations, airports, and even when it comes to the 18 wheeler trucks, we have to stress the importance of the lookouts or people on duty who may operate or have sometime of control if a situation was to break out. I brought up 18 wheelers because there are many that drive late at night. Some may not want to get a hotel to rest because they are trying to reach their destination. With them trying to reach their destination, could leave to several problems. One of the problems is falling asleep while on the road. Most of the time while you’re driving you tend to get sleepy but do not realize it.
