“If your parents were poor, where did you get your idea of how rich people live? Where did you get your concept of what success looks like — how successful people dress, or what they drive, or how they decorate their apartment? Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood — the only reason you’ve heard of Armani suits is because the 1980 movie American Gigolo launched the brand. The reason you think smoking is cool is because you’ve seen a thousand handsome, smooth leading men smoke cigarettes. In other words, fictional stories shaped your entire world. You will instinctively reject this idea because you hate the thought that anyone but you has made you who you are. But every single point of data will prove you wrong.”

Recently, I have really been into slam poetry and one of my favorite writers is Anis Mojgani.

What I love so much about his writing is that it is so relatable in so many different ways. This one is one of my absolute favorites.

For Those Who Can Still Ride An Airplane For The First Time

Quentin.

“…forgetting what it means to be a person
in a world where egos are measured with tabloids
where automobiles double for morals
where beliefs are like naps
you leave them behind when somebody touches you
and in a place where oil always takes precedence over life
I find myself sitting on a bus watching a small boy
float down like fresh water
carrying a book I used to
asking if I want to share what he sees if only for a little while

and I do

…slow down Quentin and hold what you see just a little while longer

for you are already holding my attention

and in a world of fast faces
I’m looking for God everywhere
trying to figure out a little better
this little thing He made called a man.”

A reminder I made for myself:

There are just too many things going on and its easy to forget how blessed I am and to be happy and excited. I have never been good with change. It overwhelms me and stresses me out…but the realization that things have changed so much is something I need to accept. Its difficult for me, but it is an inevitable part of life. For every door that closes, another one opens and there is so much truth to that.

I need to appreciate the things and the people I have in my life right at this moment…while they are here with me in this stage in my life.

But can I keep these people forever?

~one of those days.

i love your writing style!!<3

newsweek:

In two short decades, the Internet has changed almost everything about the way we live: The way we communicate, the way we shop, the way we read, the way we love, the way we fight, the way we play. So, too, the people shaping and changing the world are a breed apart from the old ruling class. Moguls, Masters of the Universe, military despots…your time has come and gone. The geeks have inherited the earth! And, too, our magazine. Check out our list of the 100 most influential people on the Internet. Or, as we’re calling it, the Digital Power Index.

Scott and Kourtney time! My favorite!

Start your day right. :)

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:09:12 -0400

Here is a list of things you can do to start your day on the right note AND make your day a little more productive. :)

1.) Put a “happy” music station on. Whatever you are listening to and whatever it is that makes you happy, listen to it in the morning!

2.) Stretch! Get your blood flowing! Stretching takes away stress and tension in your body. So do yourself a favor and take 5 minutes each morning to stretch all potential stress away! :)

3.) Eat Eat Eat. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day! But make sure, whatever you eat, it is healthy!

4.) Read! Take time to read a little in the morning, no matter what it is. Get the brain juices flowing!

5.) DO YOGA. :D Starting the day with yoga takes away so much tension and stress in the body which equals a happy productive day. :)

Try something new! Changing up routine every once in a while and not following daily habits is good for the body and brain.

Have a happy healthy productive day!

I am currently reading this book, and it is definitely amazing! Bad things happen every day, and me, being slightly impulsive at times (lol) found this book to be very enlightening and refreshing.

The brain is such a complex organ and being able to understand my own brain enables me to understand and control my mind and my thoughts.

It is a must read for people interested in learning more about the brain and the actual science and psychology behind how happiness, love, and wisdom affect the brain.

GOAL 2.

Wed, 30 May 2012 22:33:00 -0400

In my last post about my headstand goal, I said I did it but was not able to hold it for a picture and that my next goal is to be able to do that….and today I accomplished that! :)

I still need to work on perfecting the headstand and my next goal will be to keep straight AND my feet flexed.

Anyway, check out my headstand…SO CLOSE. :D

Miami Zombie

Wed, 30 May 2012 19:11:00 -0400

I’m pretty sure the story of the man who went crazy on drugs and ate a LIVE mans face off has spread like wildfire. However if you haven’t heard about it, get on google, type “Miami Zombie” and read for yourself.

Anyway, I feel like all the news and attention has been mostly on the “zombie”. I know it is hard to NOT talk about him and his unbelievable animal like behavior, but what about the victim who is struggling to stay alive?

The victims name is Ronald Poppo, a homeless 65 year old man. Unfortunately his family is unknown but according to his friends, he was a very happy person and always kind to everyone. He is currently at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and with only 20% left of his face, he is unconscious and in critical condition.

With this traumatic situation Poppo is going through, he will need long term medical care. I think it would be great to have the community help out towards that and his recovery.

So! why don’t you help?

You can donate towards his recovery using the website above! You can also read more on what Ronald went through.

Donate whatever you can, any amount (even the smallest) counts. :)

Helllooooooooooo! :D
