Musings x 5/12/2014

I wish people were who they say they are
we have so much more control over our lives than we realize
nothing more than a 'choose your own ending' book
happy to know you're doing well
think I passed on my blessing years ago
want: cotton candy
living social happy hour cruises
hair growth regimen: pineapple up do's to prevent breakage
Vashtie vibes

change the way you look at things and the things you look at change

flowers in bloom
can't defend fiction.
I like to make people around me feel like they're on a hidden camera show.. lol
I deserve EVERYTHING good that comes my way.
let God bless you
Now playing: Superstar x Lauryn Hill
"come on baby light my fire, everything you drop is so tired"
want: sunflowers
I've dealt with a lot of unappreciative people in my life.. and to some I've probably been that person. But one thing I've learned along the way is we always come to regret the things we didn't appreciate. Whether it be immediate or years down the line.

I get to see Outkast in less than a month.. life complete

TRIBE traveled to a new state this week; Wisconsin!
I don't like being torn..
because that means that the good and the bad are too close to call
I don't need my ego stroked
what is ego anyway?
my friends keep me motivated

It'll never be different as long as you want more of the same
I'd like to catch the carnival the next time it's in town

we have a choice in who we deal with.. stop being a slave to your associations

responsibility

ox blood in the spring
no fried foods!
dreams reveal things we don't even know are lingering because they are so deeply lodged in our subconscious
you don't have to 'relive' your childhood if you make it a point to keep the fun going.. never stop living
my prayers for you went unanswered
GOAL to not relive the same year/ story line again

Should've Went to Art School: Selfie

 

I've never been good at drawing myself. I think that ego doesn't always allow us to accurately capture our self fully, flaws and all. This time was different though. I tried to channel my inner Frida Kahlo.. a woman who wasn't afraid to let her flaws (by society's standards) all hang out in her portraits: immobility, unibrow, mustache and all. I sat on the couch, mirror in hand, and studied my face; high forehead, bag plagued eyes, prominent nose, unruly hair.. After about an hour I was happy with what I created. A true 'selfie' of my minds eye. 



they say you get what you give.. but they don't tell you it could be days, weeks or even years.. you don't get to choose when that good or bad energy comes back around.

stay on your path and continue to be a good person

Babylon x SZA feat. Kendrick



I DON'T WANT ANOTHER LESSON IN HUMAN FORM.

Generation Envy: Billy Joel x The Longest Time

This song makes me feel good.

 

I'm so envious of generations before me. People who grew up in a time where love and marriage actually meant something.. and the music reflected that. Men weren't afraid to be vulnerable in showing their feelings toward the woman they loved, and women allowed themselves to be courted.. instead of picking up the slack and actually becoming the "courter." Le sigh. So many gems to be found in the oldies.. the classics.

Cinco De Mayo: Tales Of The Sombrero

Girl talk

Margaritas

Tequila

Jokes on top of jokes on top of jokes

... oh, and a sombrero.

 

Cinco De Mayo truly was a happy one. Man, I need more nights like this. These girls make my heart smile.

 

 

Fight Party Flashback.

 

This past Saturday was my first time seeing Mayweather fight.. ever. To be honest, I wasn't really impressed.. (shock! awe! ..I know) but to be fair, I heard that he wasn't fighting like himself. I guess it will take the next fight to change my mind.
