and jewels that stand out are what it's all about this season!

From chain rope necklaces made of different metals, amber stones, blingBLINGbling, to 3D and 3- 4 finger rings. The more distinct the better!!! Above is my owl named "LEE" I purchased on a shopping spree. There are owl rings, necklaces (ALWAYS), as well as an array of animals to adorn your body with! Keep in mind jewelry can make or break an outfit so follow the golden rule, don't OVER Accessorize and take off one piece before you step out fashionably!

waiting

waiting

by the window

that shows me direction

envisioning my future and wiping

off my past

leaving faded memories and 

distant friendships dripping on the palm of my hand,

I peer out my window

Seating like no other

Feeling the fog the heat from my nose is dispersing,

Waiting for my brain freeze to fully recover.

Blank stares on the other side.

knowing they won't be along for this here ride

Feeling every inch from every mother and daughter

Oh, how they suffer.

long walks on the side of the road

So cold the heat burns 

Feeling no love

Only the Yearn

I sit back

head on the head rest

Feeling at my best

with power, liberty and the pursuit of happiness tight

to my chest.

I am a TAYLOR*

Since Wiz Khalifa released his first album in 2006 there has been a buzz about this intelligent-witty-weed-smoking prophet. Not only does his music define him but weed smokers everywhere can relate to the tales he recites in his lyrics....

Wiz Khalifa is a Philly native and after leaving his deal with Warner Bros became independent in 2009 where he then was catapulted from the streets onto many popular mixtapes and into peoples IPods.

The name khalifa derived from an Arabic word meaning, "successor" and wisdom.

As a listener and proclaimed "Taylor", I really do appreciate his original tone, swayed beats, alternative edges and hypnotizing verses often staggering along the lines of my Kid Cudi and CurrenSy playlists, Wiz K's music is always in steady rotation!

Some friends often ponder the intrigument I have with his music  but with just a quick listen the imagery he puts together so cleverly, his concept of smoking with someone else's girl and the potential that he has not yet reached often leaves the mind a blank canvas to run wild on.

And being real, any Wiz Khalifa mixtape is a great one to listen to when you're in the mood* or just riding down the block

I don't know about Wiz K groupies, nor has he found one with me but his music and personality (he does talk on his tracks and makes sense too) it sort of infatuates me for those three or four minutes... and that is what REAL MUSIC should do.

The "Struggle"

Not only was I casted in my FIRST movie called, "Struggle" and no matter how small a movie it encourages me to expand my wings and test my limits, but this week has been a constant struggle.

In between my lack of attention, remorseful load of homework they decided to disperse in college and the lack of financial funds I've been living with, I used the word struggle as my word of the week.

Getting out of bed was a struggle... but lets me real... is that new?

What has been shockingly new however are low funds, compared to the workaholic reflected checking account I had earlier this summer, my savings have surely dwindled down.

From food, to necessities to unexpected dilemnas, the zeros surrounding my money escaped and ventured off elsewhere.

My search for a job was successful, not.

Hearing the same, "We will get back to you."

"We are not hiring but expecting applications."

I felt like I was on the same financial rollercoaster as this summer before Chili's and I despised it.

My resume was right, schedule tight but the money situation was certainly not right.

I sighed, I got sadder easily when I couldn't by food out, because quite frankly food makes me happy and continued my lowly struggle not only this week but this whole month.

I let no one know however because quite frankly, no one but my mom could help.

I'm not rich but I usually have money in my pocket, a little something, something

and to tell the truth I can't even remember how I got money in my pocket before I had my job.

Now I am really appreciative of what Chili's did for me... financially that is.

Then...

A miracle happened and God bestowed upon me a blessing in disguise, my accident earlier this summer,

only to settle and to be given the power to lighten my moms crazy load and fill

up my gas tank all the way for the first time this semester.

I went to the school's library and straight-studied, organizing my mind, schedule and my

workload to better suite me and my needs

but before I run free-happily, I must realize that in order to do better, I need

to get myself financially straight to keep an income like this coming in.

Before the weight of so much was lifted just a little...

I struggled.

Heard You Got That Sticky -_-

Easily taken as a bad chemistry project.

But for me it tests my patience and how to perform under pressure

The back of my head ticking like a bomb

Legs quivering.

All these songs about the same thing doesn't help

Nor soothe the pain.

To be quite honest who I surround myself with really does help my...

predicament.

Wiser and faster like a bunny rabbit in a hole.

I will not be trapped under this spell.

And if you haven't caught on 

Wipe the grease off your hands.

Music I Love!

Wiz K: Chewy

Florence + The Machines : Dog Days Are Over

Maroon 5:  Misery

Enjoy =]

My Husbands in here somewhere.... Hmmmm!

Yummmm!

Delish!

Brown Black and Educated

I want some BBE!

Was invited to their summer concert in Atlanta and couldn't go (AW POOEY) because of.. well... school. -*- It's fine, matter of fact it's fine for everyone, there is a guaranteed next time and this time our cameras, iphones, bb's and flips* will be aimed and ready =]

N.E.R.D: With songs like, "Provider", "She Wants to Move" and "Everyone Nose", I can't recall a single living human being who can't place or decipher one of their songs and/or the lyrics. My mom does... who by the way is pretty FETCH*/COOL/EPICALLY DYNAMITE (=X) but come on =/.. Then again who could resist the funky edge, dynamite beats and glorious production of N.E.R.D.'s music? The Neptunes have stepped up and beyond the necessary outlook of "futuristic" music, and quite frankly if you haven't caught on... you never will.


NERD released their third studio album, "Seeing Sounds" in June 2008 and I truly believe the people want more of this techno-hip-hop-melody-groove crack.


Sooner or Later.
