And I was called the

weird one when I replayed M.I.A & Santogold 24/7. To be blunt I don't care! I love the feel, especially of M.I.A's music, that trademark "IDGAF" attitude that she gave so eloquently displayed at the superbowl using just one finger.

Gotta love how she is sexy without showing any skin.

"Life fast, die young, bad girls do it well."

Things that would go well with my new tattoo

Featured Nik_Gold Design Gold Metallic Earrings... in the corner the Tassel Earrings in colors (Green, Blue, Red still for sale $$$)

Wrote this poem the night after the robbery.

- One of the few hand written poems I loosely wrote in class and lost...

So in a sense here is the revision.

Dear Lord,

Tonight I was robbed.

I want to address a couple of things in this prayer

One,

I would like to pray for my robbers

You said to pray for those who art lost

I pray they find their way...

Into a jail cell

Two,

I thank you for keeping my mother and I safe,

she already has enough to worry about and I'm appreciative of the timing of your work

Lastly, Three

They might have took my flat screen,

*can be replaced

my jewelry

*can be replaced

My sense of security however will never be the same

Guide us through into a better place

And once again I thank you

For everything.

Amen.

- The first one was a tad more cynical and a heap load more sarcastic. I thought toning it down wouldn't hurt.

I've played this song a million times, but it never gets old.

Enjoy.

The shining light of positivity and motivation among the African American communities. Something to believe in and look forward too. Soul Train, a life with a purpose and a sound mind. Donald Cortez, Don Cornelius will be missed.

R.I.P The good ones go...

I absolutely love spring colors and don't mind warming them up and wearing them all year round.

Here is a simple layered color-blocking outfit I admire.

How would you splash some spring in the new season?

A little something I scribbled down before I fell asleep the other day...

I've realized in order to get better you have to improve on every flaw.

Being progressive only starts with the humbleness of an individual. Being 100% visual of flaws and potential.

At first I thought my family was being harsh by always criticizing me and took their critiques in bad light but as I grew I knew I had to be more open minded (not only about health, but life goals, priorities etc). I take all advice with a grain of salt.

I thought back on this as I did my Honesty Reflection in the mirror today for my work out plan.

And no.. I'm not fat, chunky nor do I have obnoxious love handles but though I may be skinny I'm not in shape! I've been doing gymnastics, tennis and dance all my life and though I may not weigh one more pound then I did my freshman year in college I'm certainly not on my best. I even get winded walking my dog for 35mins. My goal is to tone up and shape up inside and out for Spring Break (my birthday!!!) and also as a ritual for the rest of my life.
