Lysergic Acid

Looks like tons o fun

Lol. So, It's Halloween weekend. Which means lots of people will be out and about. I plan on going down to Orlando for a kick-ass party on Saturday. Tonight, I'm just taking it easy. I've been sick these past couple of days. Which sucks, but at least I'm finally feeling better. I'll do a nice long update on Sunday, but this is all you get for now.

And p.s. Project Runway is now Project Fail. Seriously, Anya for the win. UGH. 

And. P.s.s. Seriously, Oakland PD? At least the chief of police stepped down.

Bottoms Up.

Friday Funday

Because why not?

RiRi

Looks like a Gentleman. :)

Love Love Love

Oh, Lenny.

hot DAMN.  I like this batch of hot people quite a bit.


It's Friday. Which I am extremely thankful for. I've been working full time these past two weeks, and it's not so bad, except I started doing yoga. I signed up for this $40 for 40 days plan at this local studio at the beach. The classroom temp is a nice 89 degrees. I leave drenched. It's amazing and I know my body is grateful. It just means, I'm exhausted. It makes me want to be a hermit. Work, Yoga, and that's it. That actually sounds pretty good to me. But, alas I can't be a part-time hermit. There's shit to do. Always shit to do.

And this is really all I want to do.

Occupy Jacksonville tomorrow!

Air-Conditioner

Sometimes I just need silence.
Complete silence.
Only the hum of the air-conditioner.
Funny. The whole time I was in Europe,
I never saw an air-conditioner.
Sure, stores and some eating places had them,
but homes- no way. Nothing.
You just open the windows and hope it's windy and nice.
Also, no heater. Some homes did have something, like a fireplace.
Which I made fires in for the month of June.
It was that cold, that we needed fires at night.
It's because we were in the mountains.
I miss Spain.
I miss Spain so much it hurts to think about it.
I'm also in need of a good cry. A good, long cry.
A cry where you forget why you were crying,
because you've given into your-self.

Here's a horribly sad video. I'll get the tissues.

Occupy Jax Pt. 2 -Updated

Hey kids. This sat was Occupy Jax 2nd G.A. meeting I was about 30 min late, but it had only just started when I got there. They started the General Assembly in the park, but some scheduled religious event started happening and forced us to move to the dog park. Apparently they had a permit to play music and what not, but yet, we're not allowed to have megaphones. At the time it seemed like an attack on us, which quite a lot of people made it out to be, including me. Yelling, "This isn't about religion." Whoops.  

So, once we re-assembled at the dog park we talked about a couple different things. First it was general announcements, followed with groups. There were tons of groups, I ended up joining Arts, Yoga/Mediation, and the Library one.At the end we marched to City Hall and planned our next meeting. I've been thinking about the actual good something like Occupy does, and I really think, if nothing else, you are bringing people together. People who have the same interests, the same concerns. We've said our peace and haven't lost anything in the process. If feels good knowing that we are part of a world-wide movement. 

Also news channel 4 was there, which is pretty cool. The story they ran was pretty legit and non-biased. Check it out.

Such a beautiful day.

Love the palm tree

Our supplies for the day. :)

 Barcelona, Spain.





Rome, Italy.





D.C. Washington. The capital. 


Fuck yes. ALL over the world, guys.

I encourage everyone to think about getting involved. It's never too late.

How I feel

HOW I FEEL AFTER TEACHING ALL DAY (good day)

HOW I FEEL AFTER TEACHING ALL DAY (bad day)

RANT.

Damn. But, really.

Occupy Jax

London Protester. Spanish Paper. 

I saved this picture from a paper while I was in Spain. It's the type of picture that would never get printed in America. Never. Not only would it be deemed indecent, but it would seem encouraging to the youth.  It's true, this picture does encourage me, in fact I want to get it framed. Lol. But really.

Yesterday, I made my way down to Occupy Jacksonville part of the Occupy Wall-Street that's happening right now.  The atmosphere was super positive and everybody seemed really upbeat. I'd estimate about 300 people at it's height. A couple people spoke, but it was hard to hear. While we were marching it started raining. That didn't kill the flow, I think the lack of coordination did. We came back and waited for someone- anyone to talk. We would have listened. But no one did. And slowly and surely, we started leaving. Let it be noted that it had been raining on and off for the past 2 hrs. I ended up staying for a while. Talking to various peoples. We are having another "meeting" next Saturday. I plan on being there. All photos are mine, unless noted. 

I have a huge crush on this guy.

Ran into some friends.

Fuck Yeah.

It started pouring as soon as my friend took the picture. Or I'm just a really happy protester.

Had traffic blocked. Picture from here.

Professional. 

Also, I did see some media present, but the one media that I saw was talking to the ONE tea party counter-protester.  It's so frustrating, but that's why we are our own media. We have to be the ones to spread the truth about what is going on. 

Friday Night Jam

This song is a bit sad, which is perfect for a rainy october night.

A Happy Girl

i love your blog! after reading that you were tired of striving to be some plain, skinny, basic girl, & that you've learned to accept yourself the way you are, i felt really inspired. i've been struggling with my weight since the 8th grade, & that made me want to work on being comfortable with myself. thank you. :]

 Anónimo

Wow. Thank you so much. Yeah, sometimes it’s a daily struggle, but my bff once told me,

“You might look at yourself and see a girl who has a bigger stomach, or big thighs. But, when I look at you, or others look at you, we see a beautiful girl. A happy girl.”

So, kudos to you for loving yourself the way you are, and reminding me to love myself always. :)

_______________

So that happened.  It's weird because I don't think of myself as an inspiration, not in the least. If anything this wonderful anon has reminded me to accept myself. It is sooooo fucking easy to forget that. Before I left for Spain I was working out like crazy. Going to the gym and doing dance trance at least 5x a week. And of course all of that stopped dramatically when I got to Spain. And now, I run or do yoga every other day. Just something light and something that I do on my own. I am about 5 pds heavier that pre-spain, but eh, 5 pds. 

I do feel good about myself. But, it's always a work in progress. What my Bff said, has really stayed with me. 

Theres some truth. Being "beautiful" is so subjective. The beauty companies would have us fighting to look a certain way for the rest of our lives. It's just not fucking worth it. Time is way to valuable to spend  obsessing over things that you deem unattractive. 

LOLS. 

So, no hot people, instead go look in a mirror, and admire yourself. :)

October

Bullshit.


So, it's October. Fuck. When did that happen?

but really. I'll probs hit the beach tomorrow. 


I just watched this and cried like a like a babbbby and it's beautifully done. 




And, I broke my blackberry torch last night. FAIL. 
I can still text though...
