Jena 6 anyone?
So today I proudly donned all black in protest to FREE THE JENA 6...so here's to that...
All I will say about that is...I know for many people, they'd like to believe that racism is or has been in its diminishing phases but anyone who really truly believes that has most likely never faced discrimination like the rest of us. And for those of us who have I can only hope it hasn't turned them cold towards any culture or type of person. Our world is growing, and as we grow we need to grow together, not apart. Division between our communities and children will only drive us as a society straight down. Let's not dwell on what should have been done or being bitter from the past, because by now I'm sure we all know what's right and what's wrong by moral standards. We need to move forward with what we have, by healing, and becoming stronger. It's a sad cold world in reality, so its best that we all try to make it the best for what it really is by living and breathing as positively as possible.

That means stop the hate.


Hm...So tomorrow/early this morning I will be returning to VA for a doc. appt. then return shortly after back to NYC. Who would have known I was such a...bus-setter, at least I don't have to deal with jet-lag, whatever.

Anyways so once I get back I hope to be welcomed back by not only Mandy, BUT also a new way of living...all written out and described in detail. [That's my bloke once again showing me a new light] So supposedly I will be given a detailed workout plan accompanied with a great new diet! As all 'diets' are, I know they wont work temporarily, and it has to be a complete change in the actual lifestyle itself...he warned me of my mental processing will change as well, and that all levels of my being will be boosted, energy, mood, confidence [like I need more of that...right Andy?], and just my simple way of seeing things. This highly excites me...I'm going to need lots of discipline though...but he's willing to help me help myself [how great is that?!].
It's going to be lots of hard work but I'm ready and willing.

And so since these will be my last few days of food freedom, I met my friends from good 'ol Camp Friendship at Applebees in Time Square and ate some potato skins...yeah I know...But hey special occasion...1. Last days of freedom like I said and 2. it's RORY and KIM, my mates from camp, I mean seriously...these guys I actually DID like...even if they sent me to the wrong Applebees and I had to walk and find the one they spoke of after almost falling into the subway hole...ha. So anyways I hope they enjoy their visit to my sweet city, which as far as I've heard they are. Cheers!


So I spent the evening riding on the 1/A/C train...with my bloke playing some...umm games I guess we'll call it that. We acted like we didn't know each other on the train then we'd just speak and confuse the shit out of people. You should have seen some of the faces from the men and women...absolutely priceless! I swear we woke up this one woman...try it. Consider this a new favorite past time...to study and of course laugh at people's responses so a complete change in situations. If you can even imagine...you should try it with a friend. I'd like to get a video cam involved.

Speaking of studying people...the Italian called today while I was at my internship, said my number came up on his phone and he wasn't sure if I called him...right, sure...HELL NO I DIDN'T CALL YOU! Goodness gracious.

SO apparently here's another fun game we'll be playing once I change my lifestyle...its called...Rich & Famous[I named it myself]...it will involve going down to NoHo area and whatnot and gravitating all the beautiful rich people towards us. This will be an ongoing experiment...I'll fill you in once I lose 10 lbs or so, which will occur after the revamping of my lifestyle and let you know that game is going...not my idea by the way, but sounds like it could be interesting.

Ok...trashy moment- I cannot wait for I LOVE New York Season 2 to begin...I know what you're thinking, BUT it's just so funny, like Flava Flav...it's ridiculously hilarious to me. I can't help it, there are some things I have to indulge in, and trashy reality TV falls in that category, at least I'm not in denial right?

Oh and I hope Desperate Housewives doesn't suck this season...plus looking somewhat forward to The Private Practice...it made the calender mark up, so...but then again so did the premier of I LOVE New York...so I guess I'll just shut up.

Here's another thought [that I am overly excited about]. I have officially viewed and sorted all my classes I need to take till I will be done with school. And what I've worked out is...taking full semesters of course, but as you know, I'm planning to travel to Mexico City this winter to fill my Spanish requirement, then a full spring semester that I'll finish off interning at VIBE with as well. Then travel to England to do an internship with British Communications through the school for a credit, then come back, be in VA...blah blah blah...then go back to England for a semester abroad...then coming back and finishing out in the spring in NYC. This is music to my ears, I'm not even saying it and I'm getting goosebumps! There's nothing like putting things on paper and seeing the actual progress. Love it!

[Hey, then I really can upgrade to a jet-setter]
