Empire Avenue, Klout, Favo.rs, and XeeMe

I love a great game and will accept most challenges to rise to the top, however, when I realize that all of my best  efforts have been expended but the results are remaining the same or becoming worse, I will quit. Refreshed does not describe the freedom I feel this morning having removed myself from being "gamed" by the following oppressive (to me) sites:  

1. Klout  --  My Klout score was initially 58!  The more engagement and +K's given, tweets thanking people for +receiving k's, etc., the worse my score became.  Maybe I am really a 48, but engaging more and going down will not keep me around.  Not fun.  Bye-bye klout.  You will not see any more K+ tweets in my stream.

LA Kings' Shrine

My coworkers desk, is she a King's fan?

Muhsinah - "The Working Order"

I Love Muhsinah and she has graciously given us another free download:

Marie-Christine "Port-au-Prince" (Remix)

Marie-Christine's "Port-au-Prince" is today's "jewel" and good thing I noticed this in my In-Box because I think she is fantastic! How do you like her music?  Enjoy:

Here is a HD video I thoroughly enjoyed watching this morning and am sharing with everyone. Papa Wemba at his finest:
Well, it did not take long for YouTube to shut down Idamawatu!!!  Quality videos from Africa, thousands of them taken down "Copyright Infringement."   I just noticed it today, June 22, 2012 as I am updating this post.  Hoping you had a chance to see them before it was removed by YouTube.  They cannot stop the Spirit, however, ever!
