Random Wednesday

1)Frozen Grapes! Have you all ever heard of this? Frozen grapes are amazing for those dieting and have a sweet tooth. I recently took soda out of my diet and have been dealing with major sugar attacks but frozen grapes have been the cure. My beautiful 7 year old niece also loves them. And she is so anti fruits and vegies, so I'm happy to have found something she likes.
2)I think I'm a foodie! Some people disagree with this word but I don't care I absolutely love cooking! My sister and kids moved in with us a few months ago and I have been cooking my bun off. I really enjoy making sure that everyone eats 3 meals a day. My favorite recipes so far have been from Skinny Taste and Full Fork Ahead So far that I can remember I have made Sheppard's Pie, Shrimp Cobb Salad and Get Yo Man Chicken!
3)Speaking of Get Yo Man, I think I actually have a man! An incredibly awkward man but a man nonetheless
4)And lastly, I don't know if you all know how emotional I am.... Ok I'm pretty sure you all know how incredibly emotional and passionate I am about things and people I believe in. Well there's this case about a 17 year old boy named Trayvon Martin. Its such a tragedy because I haven't seen much about it on the news, I actually follow Roland S Martin on twitter which is how I found out. Well Trayvon Martin was walking through HIS neighborhood carrying a bag of skittles and a cold drink when a neighborhood watch, George Zimmerman, shot him dead. Now heres where it gets tricky, George Zimmerman called 911 to report a suspicious person in the area. The dispatcher actually told Zimmerman to stand down and not pursue Martin. So how does Martin wind up dead and Zimmerman goes free? I don't want to bring race into it because it may not even be about race. It could of been that Zimmerman thought that he was "top flight security of the world" and was on a power trip. All I know is that a 17 year old boy was killed for no reason at all and his killer is walking free. There is no justice in that. You know whats even more heartbreaking? On March 26th activist are planning a march in Florida to bring attention to this case and everyone is planning on carrying a bag of skittles. I mean it seems so small but to me, my God I couldn't imagine being his parents. To have to think that my son was murdered by neighborhood watch while holding a bag of skittles and a cold drink defenseless and no one is trying to bring him justice. My God. Heartbreaking.

The Boys

I have unintentionally entered myself into an absolutely 100 percent monogamous relationship.... Crazy right?
Nonetheless I got a phone call from the prototype, one phone call turned into two and he basically baited me into reminiscing over text. The funny thing is, when you know someone for so long on the volatile level I know prototype you are always prepared for their next move... Me and the prototypes relationship is like a game of chess.... I am so sure I need to stop playing the game only it is addicting and enjoyable to my ego.
I would love to talk about my newest "relationship" the only thing is that for me, attachment leads to expectation and expectation leads to disappointment. I don't want to be disappointed I just really want to be happy.

Law 9

Win through your Actions, Never through Argument

Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.

These quotes from the 48 Laws of Power are really helping me with my character during such a trying time.

This One is For Dilla!

Slum Village "The Look of Love" produced by Jay Dee of course!

My boyfriend in my head Bilal "For You" over the Dilla beat!
