I Blame My Newly Purchased Camera on My Trip to D.C

Anyone that knows me knows that I have a spending problem. I don't have a spending problem like the women on the Real Housewives of (fill in the blanks...because it's all of them broads). I, on the other hand, have a problem with actually spending money. I dislike it! I would like to see the money accumulate in my account and never use it. Ehhh...but money is meant to be spent, so I'm learning to swipe more often ;). I recently bought a Digital Camera for my trip to D.C. $$$$$$This time, I didn't have an anxiety attack. Wahoo. See, I'm getting better. Shopping can be therapy.

In less than a week I will be boarding a huge ass plane (maybe it's not really huge) to go to the East Coast. I've never been to the East Coast...Heck or anywhere really (don't judge me...I'm sheltered). LOL. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have no idea what to expect but I do know that it will be HOT!! Nonetheless, I'm hyped that I have the opportunity to experience a new environment and culture.

I definitely need this vacay!!

Project Summer 2010...Well what's left of it!

It's official! I have a couple of weeks until school starts. Yuck!!!!! I need more time so I can go to the beach, Griffith Park, random outings. I'm going to make the best out of the free time that I have left. This includes projects. Oh yes...the dreaded projects that I have been running away from for months. Don't get me wrong, I want to do these projects...I just don't know how to start or maybe I'm afraid to start something that I might not finish because I suck at it. So I'm holding my self responsible for doing one project before I go back to school.

Now you might be thinking...what kind of projects are you talking bout? Just freaking do it! Lately, I have been teaching my self how to sew. So far, I have made an apron and a purse. Yay me!!

So I'm going to use this blog as a platform to help me stay on task (SIKE). Lol

Projects I'm going to do...

1. Sew a skirt

2. Sew a clutch purse

3. Make coffee filter flowers (with watercolor paint)

After making this list and glancing at it...I quit already....FAIL

Stay tuned to see if something gets done (if so you'll see pictures).

Music to my ears...Or not!!!

I don't care what anyone says! Music is not what it used to be!!! I can not really tell you where the change began, but goodness, the meaning of music must be lost somewhere in cyberspace. My friend and I have plenty of conversations when it comes to the type of music that is selected to be mainstream and the brilliant music that is forgotten (not played) that in return, becomes tomorrow's next pile in a landfill. I hardly listen to the radio and my playlist is full with artists such as Talib Kweli, Dwele, Lupe Fiasco, Little Brother, Slum Village, Floetry (all courtesy of Fundamental). :)

I had an opportunity to listen to music that the greater mass enjoys to listen to. First thought: "What in the heck! Anyone can make a track!" Second thought: "This is exactly why I don't listen to music of this type. Wackness!!" If I could, I would have jumped out the car that was keeping me prisoner for 4 hours. Aaaaah...

I don't think that people listen to the words of their favorite songs OR people just don't care about what the artist is expressing. Any who, I just wonder how we are going to get back to that good music. That music that touches the deepest parts of soul, the music that leads to baby making, and the music that expresses what a majority of people aren't able to speak of.

Maybe I'm just getting older, or I am just DIFFERENT!! Well if that's the case, bring the grey hairs and name calling on! I'm not going to change my taste for ugly nasty music. I just keep thinking...it's gotta get better (maybe when the shit hits the fan).

BTW...Lauryn Hill is making a come back and Kanye's new song is dope (yay!)
