I'll do it tomorrow.

Oh look at the time!

It is tomorrow.

Now go and do

what you were going to do

tomorrow.

How do you know?

How do you know

when you choose right?

Will you feel it?

What if,

no matter what,

it feels confusing?

Then what?

How do you know

then?

Maybe

there are no wrong

choices.

That's just

life.

Either way you will go

somewhere.

But still

it comes down to

What should you

do?

How do you

know?

???

I often times feel lost.

I often hunger

for something else

unknown.

I'm missing.

And I'm missing

some other piece

of me.

Where can I find

something

that I do not know,

nor comprehend?

I don't understand.

I still am lost.

Surf Board

So, now I have this surf board and I am ready for some wave time. Fall is approaching and the waves are coming in better and cleaner. Once my board finished curing I will be able to take it out in the water! Until then I will paint on it so it becomes even more unique than it already is.

That is my kitten Nox running to make the picture of course haha.
The board is a Hank Warner custom shape Mod Fish 6'8"
Can't wait to see how it rides!

Positivity

I try to be a postive person with a sunny outlook, but a lot of times I catch myself with negative thoughts at the end of the day.  It's high time to try and keep things in a different perspective.  At the end of each day before I go to sleep I will make a list of all the things I am grateful for that happened throughout the day: situations where someone make me happy or where I made someone else happy. Small things I notice that bring joy. Nature. Smiles.

Dread update

Dreads are around 4 1/2 months as of now! They got a little rough because I wasn't palm rolling for a few weeks:

Photo by me

This one dread is what every single solitary dread on my head look like before I sculpted them back to perfection. The rest of the dreads in this picture have been dealt with by use of a lock sculpta. Now they are tightening up evenly again with regular palm rolling!

‎ENDLESS ROADS

Longboard Girls Crew. My latest obsession!

Good morning!

Here we have scrambled eggs with cheese and veggie sausage. Very simple. Very delicious!

Photo by me.

Now here is for a story from last night: 

‎1am. I wake up, in pitch black room, hear rustling next to my bed. Oh my kitty, who was just sleeping by my head. I reach out... just to check, Agatha is by my head... The rustling is still going on.. on the ground. I lay for 10-15 min wondering what it could be, very likely it is a ghost. Hear glass breaking, downstairs. Must be a ghost. Rustling. Agatha deserts me on the bed. Silence. 10 more m...in pass. Very scared. Goosebumps all over. Suspension is killing me. Get up, cross room in dark to turn on light - this is extremely scary. Agatha in corner of room on top of little shelf, peering behind it. I block off the area then move the shelf... It's a mouse! A cute, fluffy, white and brown mouse. Capture mouse. Very friendly mouse. Name mouse Felix. Back to bed now. Goodnight.

 

I wrote that last night at about 2am after putting Felix Felicis in my sisters mouse cage with her mouse. This morning I awake and Felix is gone! Her mouse is still there, but mine isn't. It's like it never happened. There is no way I dreamt this!!! Where is my Felix Felicis??

Rastafari journeying begins

I've always wanted to think of my self as a Rastafari. I mean, it's in my blood! Mom and her Dad born in Jamaica, plus more. The thing is I only casually researched it and vaguely understood or believed it. Change now though! I'm reading more and more on it all the time and the language as well. So I will be incrporating that language into my blogs soon. My findings as well.

My start:  Ital, meaning clean and earthly eating. This is very pure. No salt, proccessed foods, alcohol, pork, shell fish, bottom feeders, alcohol; really vegetarian or vegan is very well accepted here. Very much vegetables are eaten! Our body is a temple of Jah, it must be shown respect.

True furiends ;)

Sometimes, I just need something to make me smile. Animals can always cheer me up, even if they are only pictures. Just seeing something so real and sweet helps.

Photos not by me.

Wakey Wakey. Eggs and... veggie sausage?

Photo by me.

Look at that breakfast face! What a treat to dine with him! Well that's kind of sad actually.. becuase I dined ON him.. I mean, I ate him :0  Can you really blame me though? He was a delicious sandwich of oatnut bread, cheesy omlet, and veggie sausage. Washed down with a glass of fortified, pulp free, OJ. I'm a kid about pulp, I just never grew to like it!

Peace

"If in our daily life we can smile,

if we can be peaceful and happy,

not only we, but everyone will profit from it.

Volunteer

Volunteering at Goodwill is an intersting experience every day. The people that work, shop, and volunteer there are from all walks of life! The head cashiers are always very friendly. We have customers that visit every single day, without fail! One of the older men sometimes sits at the front of the store and plays guitar. The people that work in the back are outgoing and welcoming. And each volunteer has their own life story behind why they are there. Every day is a different experience. It's kind of enjoyable.

Cannabis - our savior!

Please, please, please read this article and become informed! This is the answer to our vast economical and environmental problems!

It's worth it to read to the end, whether you're for or against cannabis. "Truth is, it seems like the hate towards hemp is purely based on opinion - not fact or science." !!!

One Day Without Shoes

This is it! Tomorrow is One Day Without Shoes. Show your support for TOMS company and there purpose by going barefoot. See what it's like for those who are less fortunate than us. For those who have to suffer from the diseases in the soil, and not being allowed places for lack of footwear. GO BAREFOOT!

Guacamole

Today is definitely a guacamole and chips day. I don't really know what defines a day such as this, but really just every day is a guacamole and chips kind of day.

Photo by me.

I usually make enough for multiple people. I also love love love onions and garlic, so really you can put however much of each ingredient in that satisfies you!
Here is the recipe for how I make this staple in my diet:

• 3-5 avocados
• 2 small tomatoes
• 1/3 of an onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 lime (rolled on the counter before cutting so the juices get flowing)
• 1/2 of an orange
• a couple dashes of salt
• cilantro (I don't use this ingredient, but it's defintely a popular one)

Dice it all up and mix it all up! Yummy-yummmm.
Now I usually buy some organic blue corn tortilla chips from the store, but in this instance I forgot the chips! Instead, I sliced up some tortillas and threw them in the oven at 350 degrees until they were crispy to my liking.

organization

I finally went gorcery shopping! It's been weeks it seems.. I brought a new piece of furniture and it's perfect for my produce.

 I also got some veggie sausage :0 Plus some OJ with some chocolate chip pancakes, umm best lunch e v e r!

Health

Okay, so I've been sick... for the past 13 days. Now my throat is killing me! I've decided - after unsuccessfully trying to find a doctor near my new home - that I WILL kick this sickness on my own. For now I can only consume liquids, but when I can I am going to go shopping for all new healthy vegetarian foods! Today I've only had a mug of Detox tea and a can of tomato bisque soup.

Photo by me.

I've been researching ways to boost my immune system while forming my new grocery list. I have now visited quite a few sites in the past 2 hours and discovered some things I never new!

• Gelatin is made from bones. Avoid marshmallows and gelatin desserts.
• Learn to avoid certain E numbers. Sometimes even bread cannot be trusted! Take for example M&Ms. It includes E120 for coloring some of the M&Ms red. This is done by squashing a lot of insects.
• source: http://www.wikihow.com/Eat-Healthy-as-a-Vegetarian

One thing I did know that the site also mentioned was the fact that many vegetable soups are made with chicken or beef stock, so make sure to look for a vegetarian vegetable!
At the cafe I used to work at we had a broccoli cheese soup that was made with whole milk and chicken stock so also look out if you are vegan for dairy products in soups.

So, here's to a new, healthier leaf! May I get healthy soon.

Food should taste good

The b e s t chips ever!

More food!

Photo by me.

Yesterday I baked some tortillas in the oven and poured a glass of dark chocolate Almond milk.  The scrambled eggs are accompanied by potatoes, tomatoes, red bell pepper, chopped mozarella cheese, onions, and topped with shredded colby jack. The potatoes sure did take a while to cook, but hey it was my first time! Definitely worth it.

Photo by me.

This is definitely in my top 5 favorite meals since I've been in college. Beer battered fish with a pickle and some pepper jack cheese and ketchup on the side. The potatoes are stir-fried with onions, red bell peppers, tomatoes, basil and a dash of salt, topped with a slice of pepper jack. Ohh boyy :)

Project X

My goal is to not conform. It may seem that by blogging about such a raging film it is conforming to popular interest; however, I beg to differ. If I were to witness this picture and then refrain from sharing its infectiousness then I would be conforming to not conforming. I do what I waaant..

Anywayss, This movie is soo dirtyyyy! Insane. Grrreat. Makes me want to rage in an amazing way.

Oh yeah.. and here is the soundtrack:

Beach days

A night of quesadillas, homemade guacamole, Jenga and chit-chat! Love it <3

Time to wind down with Halloween. We both do our own thing and see each other when we want to! I finally got her real kitty food and a flea collar (don't worry the collar is a break away one). The princess is asleep on my legs right now:)

P.S. I've spent the last two days at the beach with the sand and the frigid water. Natural, sunny tan here I come! The weather has been B-E-A-U-tiful!

5 year goal

My five year goal is to be on Antigua! My friend Adam is there now, he helped with this beautiful picture. I will be on this island!

Another Trip!

I have a couple of meals to udate on since I was out of town all weekend!

Photo by me

Yes, that is a slice of pizza with scrambled eggs, spinach, and red bell peppers on top of it. My own form of Quiche for the people without pie dishes or pie crusts or that much time! Very yummyyyy!

Photo by me.

A toasted bagel with tuna, onions, tomatoes and cheese on top. I got to eat all of it this time without the help of Halloween; although, I discover that she loves, loves, loves cheese pizza! She fits in well on a college campus :)

Photo by my roommate.

 Apparently Halloween sits outside our door to wait for me between classes!

Photo by me.



Until I get home to let her inside so she can snuggle in my bed with me!

This whole weekend I had to leave my kitty behind while I went four hours away to a big city with four other knotty dreaded friends. We stayed in a Dreadies casa too! Saw Tribal Seeds play and immediatly after saw Excision. Whoa! Also, another trip was made to the big tree.

Some Tribal Seeds here:

Stray Kitty

This is the story of the little kitty that follows me around my apartment on campus. The island is populated with all sorts of kitties and animals. This one chose me, and I love her! I named her Halloween. The beginning: I received a letter from a friend that made me very sad and teary-eyed. As I'm sitting on the stairs outside the apartments Halloween comes along and climbs into my lap, comforting me. Every day since then she is outside when I come home from class. Today the weather was so beautiful the doors were left open, so Halloween came inside.

Photo by me.

She loved it and I fed her a little tuna. She hung around while I made my own lunch:

Photo by me

bread with BBQ sauce, spinach, romaine lettuce, red bell peppers, tomatoes, onions and tuna.

Then the little kitty disappeared... 

Photo by me.

... And I found her in my bed as cozy as can be! The little trickster. So we go out in the living room and she is happily chasing a bee around when it gets stuck behing the blinds. I lift the blinds and Halloween loses interest so I proceed to get a towel and whip the now multiple bees. When that task is finished I turn around and she is...

Photo by me.

...demolishing the rest of my sandwich! She took the top half and consumed all the bread and tuna left, plus some of the chips....

I have to say that this definitely made my whole weekkk! I love herrr :)

She is currently in my bed preening herself like the little princess she is.



Dinnaa

Last nights dinner was whole grain bread with ketchup, mozarella cheese, lettuce, spinach, tomato and a Boca no meat chicken burger:)

Photo by me.

Best. Dinner. Ever.

Photo by me.

Wheat tortillas warmed in the oven topped with my very own fresh made guacamole, veggie bacon (that's the pink stuff), and a chopped up Hot Dang grain burger. This is by farrrr one of my favorite things I've cooked! Yum-o to the maximum!!

Photo by me.

Oh and for dessert: vanilla lactose free ice cream (I'm against the milk industry) topped with toasted honey cashews :o :)

Home is...

Home is what I miss. This weekend I finally ventured there! So many things happened and it was all beautiful. I caught up with two of my older brothers, my little sister, my parents, my grandparents, some old friends and of course my kitty cats! I took my mom's 30 year old bike to get fixed up - I'll get it over Spring Break. I got a new skateboard, but with some bigger cruising wheels so I can manage the harsh territory of the campus parking lots. I ate sushi and made guacamole dip. I got my car stuck in a muddy ditch and had pizza and beer. I had a grand time! Now I'm back at the beach living it up!
