MY TOP 5 NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS and then some...

1.  Drink more, eat less
2.  Get Fly-ER on em...watch out now!
3.  Be more passionate about my career
4.  Set more realistic goals (That eliminates the second part of #1 and #3 by default smh)
5.  The 3 f's:  Focus, Family, and  Fulfillment (That can count as one right?)

Well folks, in 15 minutes it will officially be the last day of 2010. Not sure if many of you have heard the news but according to the Mayan calendar, 2012 is the end of the world.  So, take this knowledge and just do whatever you want next year with no inhibitions.  LIVE AND BE FREE LOL.  2010 was all about growth and though rough at some points it was a good year overall. I lost old friends and gained new ones while learning that true friends never fade.  With that said, cheers to the upcoming New Year!!! Remember, there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.  Last but not least for the haters... thank you and see below...

In the words of Kanye, "we bawlin beetches"!  And of course Jay-Z ..."I'll never be done I'm so rare-ah"....Simple and to the point. :-)

Gotta love em, lets have a moment of silence.

Some of ya'll fella's need to be schooled. If you didn't know, now you know.  Get with it and show em how its done son!

LAURYN HILL: HOUSE OF BLUES PERFORMANCE

The question is, will the b*tch show up? LOL No disrespect but one has to wonder when it comes to her.  Well, whether she chooses to or not ...I will be there the end of January with bells on.  I grew up on Lauryn and she carried me through many a heartbreaks, new loves, and just truly defined what good music is for me.  Worse case scenario, I will be in Atlantic City with my other half with access to loads of booze, gambling, and clubs.  Sounds oddly familiar to heaven huh?  *ducks from strike of lightning* 

Well, cheers to seeing Ms. Hill "show em how its done son" and her comeback. I plan to get a picture with her...willingly or unwillingly. Will keep you posted on how that turns out.

BEAUTIFUL VOICE, WOMAN & HIV POSITIVE

Big ups to Tender Mavundla.  This south african gem was on her way to success and fame on the South African version of American Idol. In the midst of the glitz and glam, she shared her story with the world and came out with her truth, she was HIV positive.  Shortly thereafter, she was voted off American Idol.  Her whole world changed and the glitz and glam was no more. I saw her featured as a part of an HBO documentary and am lending my support for a beautiful, strong, and talented black woman that made it through! Check out her story and remember to be safe...

LOOK OF THE WEEKEND: HOLIDAY THEMED COSTUMES

Today's look of the day is a special one. If you are corny and get amusement out of just being a plain ole fool, this look is for you! I have been known to be corny and personally would be quite pleased if someone had the bright idea to show up in one of these numbers for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, the only person idiotic enough to do this would be me.  Fortunately, I know my boundaries and also know that it would not be as funny to everyone else as it is in ... "my head" lol

Anywho, here are the looks for the weekend.  Your options are vast!!! I am feeling the elf the most because something about that green and yellow screams sexy.  YOU BETTER WORK!

The Holidays are upon us...

At first, I was super excited and I guess the excitement has died down the closer that Christmas gets.  Ehhhh, must be something that comes along with being 30 years old? lol Needless to say...I am very grateful for good health, a decent job, and though few in number...close family and friends. Cheers to the beginning of the holiday season and last but not least...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

NEW TECHNOLOGY OF THE DAY

Though I am not sure how useful this would be to me I can definitely see the appeal behind the concept.  According to their site, Light Touch™ is an interactive projector that instantly transforms any flat surface into a touch screen. It frees multimedia content from the confines of the small screen, allowing users to interact with that content just as they do on their hand held devices – using multi-touch technology.  Dopeness huh? 


But wait, there's more...has anyone else ever almost been in an accident trying to look at their GPS?  Or how about wanting to check your speed and finding yourself way to close to somebody's bumper.  Check this out...

With HLP™, vital information such as speed, road warnings and GPS information is displayed at an apparent distance of 2.5 meters from the driver’s eyes. The display appears to be floating off the end of the vehicle’s bonnet, reducing the need for drivers to shift their focus from the road ahead.

HLP™ steers light to exactly where it’s needed, so the display is extremely bright and easily readable, even in the strongest sunlight. HLP™ is always in focus, enabling the integration of software applications that augment the display with the actual road scene so hazard warnings appear closer as the hazard approaches. The technology is even compact enough to be integrated into a rear-view or wing mirror, presenting critical information on blind spots and stopping distances.

WOMENS LOOK OF THE DAY: ROMANTIC

Demure, simple, and classy.

MENS LOOK OF THE DAY: EXTREME PREPPY

I know this is a h*ll no for most men but I'm diggin it.   It's eclectic and takes a certain type of guy to wear it.

Cotton Candy Martini

Makes you want to SLAP YOUR MAMA, YOUR GRANDMAMA, AND HER MAMA TOO!

RECIPE

  • 1 1/2 oz Pinnacle Cotton Candy Vodka
  • 1/2 oz X Rated Fusion Liquor
  • 1 oz Cranberry juice (100% pure)
  • A nice size handful of cotton candy
  • Sugar for rimming the glass.
Please Note this is for 1 martini, if you would like to make a whole shaker full of cotton candy cosmo martinis just simply multiply the ingredients. TIP:This is a strong drink, add more cranberry to dilute, the flavor will still be a carnival ride for your taste buds.

Directions:
In a martini shaker add Ice, cotton candy vodka, X Rated, and cranberry juice. shake until well mixed and chilled. Rim your martini glass in sugar or rub cotton candy around it. Take a heaping handful of cotton candy and place in your martini glass and slowly pour the contents of the shaker directly over the cotton candy. Watch the cotton candy just disappear and crystallize at the bottom of the martini glass.


BEST DESSERTS IN DC

Coco Sala is quite simply the sh*t when it comes to desserts.  Delicious is truly an understatement.  If you have not been all ready, be forewarned...its an explosion in your mouth followed by an awakening of all the senses.   It's as sexy as it looks and as good as it gets...one of my top 10 restaurants in DC.  Because their menu is constantly updated, if you are not feelin it, its probably because the menu has changed.  *cough* That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

SHOES THAT MAKE YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH

No words for these shoes...just relish the moment...

These are supposed to be by Gianmarco Lorenzi...no news yet on where to purchase them...*sigh*


ELBOW PATCHES

I was just talking to one of my co-workers and we both agreed that there is just something about an elbow patch that does it for us.  Why were we having a conversation about elbow patches?  Before you ask this question...ask yourself a more important question...who works at work?

Check out an example below.

...and for the guys out there...Get with the elbow patches and SHOW EM HOW ITS DONE SON!
