..hearts not in it

i dont know where i want to go with this blog anymore.
i get bored easily & i guess its about that time.
it just doesnt excite me like it used to.



i love writing but i hate feeling like i have to plus my schedule doesnt allow me to post every day so i doubt this new theme i had going on will continue.

& i refuse to put my life on blast like i did previously; with growth comes change

i just dont know---i gotta sleep on this

one time for my followers!

sorry about the quality; webcam

xoxo sweetum-pops!

i must have pissed mother nature off

cuz she brought me lady in red accompanied by pain---loads & loads of it.
i retired to my bed after last nights team training [plan 'retire by age 30' is still a go]
...speaking of last night----quite interesting.

i have to go clean the fridge & asses what damage lil sis has caused since she's been awake; idk if im ready for this.
.sigh.

ps: i really dont wanna get up but mommy dearest should be getting home soon & id like to have her [stay] in a good mood today.
arent i just the greatest daughter.

Thoughtful Thursday

Wacky Wednesday

"im not a violent person whatsoever..." Flo

truth be told

im not doing today's post.
its been a hell of a day & tomorrow is gonna be about the same.
im tired. im stressed out.
i need a moment.

Music Monday: Who That?

He left his hometown of Melbourne for Downtown NYC at the age of 23. Daniel Paul Merriweather grew up in the poorer part of Melbourne, Australia. Growing up, he would get himself into dangerous and violent situations. He never graduated high school and after working at KFC for a couple months, decided that wasnt the route he wanted to take either---thats where he decided to try his hand at music.

Music had always been a part of his life; he began playing the violin at age four and he always sung. He was signed to Marlin records in Australia and ended up deciding to not release the album he had been working on due to his and the labels conflicting views. After meeting Mark Ronson, 18 months of writing and touring, and an incident with his vocal cords that could have severley damaged his career, "Art and War" was born.

Peep the link below & get to know him:

fml

he came down from Jersey & we may not get to kick it before he goes back
=(

dissapointed is an understatement

TGIF

i was a bit down & frustrated last night, upon my return from a casting because of the mixed reactions to my being pidgeon--toed.
i came home & i ran across Aminata, a Victoria's Secret Angel, who is also pidgeon-toed & i felt empowered.
when this girl works a runway, she stands out in a good way. her walk is amazing.
she inspired me to get out of the stupor i was in & i realized that i cant let my being pidgeon-toed defeat me.
im gonna master it, own it, & work it.
the moral of the story is as follows, decide what it is you want, go for it; & dont stop till you attain it.

Good Thought Thursday

Do it for YOU.

when its all over if you're not happy; what was the point?

BoB ft Bruno Mars: Nothin On You

Enjoy!

pick.me.up

late classes + a potentially long day tomorrow.
did i mention my migraines have returned with a vengeance---i never used to get them this often.
+ this fools testing my patience.
i can only remain civil to someone who's hurt me for so long & he is pushing it.
.sigh.
im gonna make it a movie night-----any suggestions?

Wacky Wednesday

Its the middle of the week & if yalls week has been a third as hectic as mine has, i know you could use a good laugh.



enjoy.

dear indecisive mug,

im tired of you not knowing what you want. my time/emotions arent to be toyed with. what we had ended months ago---& that was all your doing, need i remind you.
so all that shit you're talking now, stop it.

Bag-It Tuesday: Or Not..

We all know how to blow money, but do we all know how to save it?
Ima take a wild guess & say we don't.
If you do: shit [tips hat]

Below you'll find some tips to keeping your pockets/pocket books off e.
1. get a roommate
this may not work for everyone. i like my space and my freedom & i hate restrictions. if you're like me when it comes to that then you're probably better off living alone.
however, if it does work for you, do it.
y'all could split the utilities and the rent. one of y'all pays for the cable, the other one can pay for the Internet.
you've just cut your spending it half---in 3rds if you're brave.

2. give yourself a monthly budget...
...& stick to it. that way you know exactly where your money is going & you're reminded of the important things. sure those $120 shoes look dope now but they wont be of much assistance when your electricity is shut off or you cant put gas in your tank

3. write down every purchase.
this is the one that'll work best for lazy people. i would do this & id get so annoyed of having to write everything down, i just wouldn't get it.
i'll be in the cafe at school like "ooo i can eat that, that, that, & that" then i'll realize that's four things to add to my list & i'll get upset like "fuck it". problem solved.

4. keep all your receipts
if you know where your money is going, its easier to track it & see what you're spending it on. when you look back on it & realize half the shit you buy was just a spur of the moment purchase, you figure out how to avoid those.

5. look for sales
ladies, there is nothing wrong with waiting till Vicky's Secret has a sale to buy some new bras and panties. & guys, its absolutley fine to buy the new J's after they go on sale.

6. give yourself an incentive
stop the spur of the moment purchases & instead save that money. at the end of a month or two, take a percentage of what you've saved & treat yourself to something nice/random.

ex: ladies, we do not need a new shade of nail polish/lip gloss/mascara every time we walk into a CVS or Walgreens. Save that money and at the end of the month, treat yourself to a night out or after a couple months, buy that new bluetooth you've been needing.

**make sure you decide on a percentage & use that same one every month. that way you're motivated to save more cuz that means you'll be able to spend more at the months end.

Be Smart guys.
Hopefully these tips help yall out some---i know they all work for me when i stick to them [yes, when. a girl has her weaknesses]
let me know if yall found it helpful or if yall tried em & the outcome.

bbl with the Tuesday post. right now, its rehearsal time.
xo.

Music Monday: Who That?

It has all the elements of a rags to riches story: a young girl living in poverty who leaves to follow her dreams & is now well on the path to stardom. At the age of 14 Tynisha Keli Soares moved to Los Angeles, a completely new city, with no friends or family, only to face more trials and tribulations.
Signed to MCA records at age 15, Tynisha joined a girl group. That didn't work out so well so she signed with a production company and later signed to Warner Brothers Records----she wasn't content with where the deal was going and after beginning her solo album, Tynisha decided to change directions. She began working with producers such as, Brian Micheal Cox, Co-Stars, and Justice League. Now, years later she is still putting work in.

Check out an interview with Ms. Keli here http://current.com/1kodc4c

Below is one of my fave tracks of hers, enjoy.
