The Time is Now

Its sad seeing how far we have come as people and at the same time seeing that our children are clueless. The examples they have before them are setting them up for failure. Fathers are not in the homes to raise their children. Girls don't know what it means to be a woman. Boys are not taught how to be men. Boys grow up fighting for something of which they have never seen. They are given the impossible task to being something great but are constantly put down until they eventually give up and say 'Fuck it.'

Little girls are raised by mothers who are either working too many jobs to attend to that little girls' insecurities and questions or those mothers use their kitty-cat to get money and pay bills. Neither example is sufficient to raise a woman. These little girls grow up to be always confused and unguided, not knowing how to raise their own little boys and girls. They grow up to be with the same little boys who never had a clue of how to be responsible.

The time is now to set the great examples of what it means to be a woman or to be a man. Even if you do not have a child, children are always watching, searching and begging for guidance. No more excuses. Stand up and stop the bullshit.

I Dream



Am I the only person that thinks that dreams are a form of premonition? What do you do when your dreams re giving you contradicting advise?

For the last few nights I have had happily beautiful dreams and some horribly bad dreams? They all pertain to the same subject but one day the dream says 'yes' and the next day, the dream says not just 'no, that's a bad idea' but 'Hell No!' Then the cycle repeats. I even have nights like last night when I have multiple dreams with mixed signals about the same thing.  They are telling me I should follow my heart and at the same time to run like hell.

Don't we all love dreams like this? Which road should I take?

I need a dream interpreter.

21 Day Cleanse

As many of you know, I have been consistently working out since mid-January (about 4-5 times a weeks). My usual mentality is that I can eat anything that I want because I am working out constantly. Big no-no.  I found myself gaining weight. As there is a noticeable difference in my frame because of the bulking up, people are saying that the weight gain is because of the increase in muscle. I beg to differ. I am sure that my occasions of eating Lee's chicken or Chinese on Friday's while doing laundry, or any type of ice cream multiple times a weeks are not helping my determination for a healthier lifestyle.

Last Sunday I embarked on a quest to eat healthier. No more snacking on excessive amounts of cranberries or almonds (Side note -Did anyone know that you can eat too many almonds? I didn't. I ate those like potato chip. Hey, at least they're not Lays.). For 21 days I will be only consuming baked/grilled/sauteed chicken, tuna, fruits, vegetables and egg whites. That means no fats, starches, fat, sugar, or dairy.

Today is day 6. So far so good. I have already noticed a change in my body (I've dropped 5 lbs already) and my appetite (I know that I don't have to eat badly to have tasty foods in my mouth).

15 days to go.

I can do this.

I Love You



I love you more than starry nights
Than candy and a cake
Than sugar plums and marshmallows
And clear blue lakes

I love you more than chocolate
And big red roses
Than heart lockets and cute pandas
And boxes of Sweetarts

I love you more than lollipops
Than snugly sock
Oh, I love Sour Patch Kids of all sizes,
But I love YOU the most!

This is how I wish I felt today, without hesitation or doubt.
I want to be loved like this - sweet, pure, innocent, unconditional love. No stipulations or want of changing me the way I am. I want someone that loves my simplicity, moments of unpredictability and bold honesty. Tomorrow will be a better day and a new opportunity to grow and continually prepare myself for that deserved love.
