Dreams and goal posts


Progression is a tricky thing. How do you measure how far you've come if you're always evolving? The goals and direction you were working towards last year maybe completely different from your vision currently. Maybe you achieved more maybe you achieved less. As long as you're working and happy with the results nothing else really matters.
 It took me along time to understand that there's no cookie cutter for success that suits everyone. 
Everyone has different aspirations. Don't second guess your dreams because someone else's happy ending is different from yours. Some people want a brownstone with a stoop, some want red bottoms and a matching purse. Some want a condo with a city view others want a private jet so they can fly over the city. Remember your dreams, remember why they're special to you and don't let anyone knock them. 
To you it may look like I'm sitting on a goal post but to me I'm sitting on top of the world. Keep living.

What ever happened to Joe?

Summer time and Big Pun are synonymous, at least to me. Excuse me while I disturb my neighbours trying to hit these notes

WOLVERINE!!!!! *cue adamantium blades*

So I went to see Wolverine last night, got really excited, went home and watched the rest of the X-men series. Now I'm here trying to move my cell phone with my mind and wondering if I squeeze my fists tight enough if a set of blades will shoot out of my knuckles. I'm going to make this post quick because Professor Xavier will probably be paying me a visit soon since, you know, I need to be taught how to control my super awesome mutant power. Anyway, I'm no movie critic, I don't even really know how to do movie reviews so let me wing this thing.

Wolverine or Logan or Hugh Jackman is a very, very very..very fine man. Jean is thirsty, she's all up in the man's dreams trying to seduce him in some white lingerie, titties all out.. bitch, we see you. It's interesting though, that entire subconscious dream shit was shot from his perspective,  highlighting the perve slime that he is. There's nothing wrong with that, he a very handsome perve slime.

Anyway it was dope to see Wolverine or Logan or whatever be humananized (is that a word?) for a little bit. The poor man is always being shot at, thrown through some forest or running for his dear life. When my dude got shot and didn't heal I had to choke back my tears. I was in the theatre like HOLD ON ONE DAMN SECOND, what the fuck you mean he's still bleeding?? Ugh, my heart. He finally really appreciates being a damn mutant. Homie has been beating the shit out of people and walking away for centuries and now he catches a blow and really feels it. But only for a little bit, don't worry, Wolverine never dies, he's like Chuck Norris. I feel like they buy their denim from the same boutique.

 Moving along. There are some interesting japanese cultural themes tied into the movie, the whole notion of respect, it just strikes a cord deep in my soul. But then there's this whole other theme of 'ask and if you don't recieve just take it and tell that person to fuck off' it's just so moving. Oh before I forget, there's this babe in the movie? Let me just tell you from now, you're probably already aware Beyonce 'cut' her hair.. let's just say the weave she took out got put to good use.
All in all, the movie was pretty awesome except for some corny ass transformer infused samurai ruining everyone's life. James Marigold did his thing, he clearly took a thing or two from Snyder and he probably read a stack of comics before he got to filming, AS HE SHOULD.

I rate this film, 2 blades, I mean thumbs up. Oh and those abs???? #heyboo

WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT

I live in a parallel universe. It is not here nor there. It's my world, my reality, my fantasy, my nightmare. I do what I do when I want to do it. I say no when I want. I smile, I laugh, I'm grumpy, I scowl. Sometimes I dress up like I'm going to a ball, other times I dress like I'm on set for Mary J. Blige's Real Love video. I have fun. I galavant. I stay home. I eat take-out. Sometime's I'm vegan, other times I only eat meat. I'm responsible when necessary. At times I'm a tea leaf dancer, a gypsy of sorts. With that being said, in no way do I think the world revolves around me. I'm very aware of the bullshit that occurs around me, I simply choose not to be apart of it. Turn up, turn down, turn neutral, turn left or right - whatever.  Just do what makes you feel good and worry about the rest later.

This song seems appropriate. Maybe not. Enjoy.

London Lovin




I was only in London for 3 days, but it was instant love. The amazing sights, fantastic accents, ah-may-zing shopping (Primark is a broke girls dreammm), crazy partying and great food. I only wish I could've stayed longer, there's so much to experience there, but there's always next time. I leave you with a few of my captures of my trip:





Definitely couldn't leave without visiting the famed Harrods

 I stayed at the Citizen M, highly recommend it to anyone traveling to London or Amsterdam. It is super chic and modern and each hotel is uniquely decorated. Also it's really high tech, you control your room with a remote or an ipad, there's mood lighting and free movies it's well worth the price.

Is it too early to book another trip?
