    Becoming Confident In My Vegetarianism

    It always gets me when those who have known/known of me for a while ask what I did to lose as much weight as I have over the past six years, and promptly follow the question with “I am not going to stop eating meat!” This is thrown out there as a lazy method of narrowing the possibility of my mentioning vegetarianism, as if it is a trend. I can hear them thinking “Please don’t start talking about vegetables and animals.” and some even go so far as to assume I only eat plain “rabbit food,” as if there are two or three bland options without meat. That part is…

    Make way for the new. . .

    New ideas, new ambitions, new manifestations! New VIRGO Moon! Today I am searching for a piece of mind that is weightless. I am searching for weightlessness so that I might fill it with energy of the greatest channeling I have ever done. If you are anything like I can be, you might constantly imagine ways to make yourself better. And if you’re even more like me, you tend to struggle with the manifestation of what you come up with every now and then. Sometimes I feel these blocks have a lot to do with having so much happening at once. Do you ever feel that way? Not just distracted, but…

    Yeah baby, I like it RAW!

    All RAW everything! At least for the next two weeks… I’m currently experiencing my sixth day of the twenty day HERBAL cleanse I’m doing which requires that I adopt an all raw food diet. Yup! This means that I am not consuming anything that has been processed with sugar and artificial flavors and other chemicals that we know make up the foods we consume regularly. No dairy products, or anything of animal origin has entered me since this past Monday! Once again, I’m amazed by the timing of this particular adventure because I’ve been interested in improving my diet, but I always thought it would be too expensive to start…

    My Impression of Self-Expression

    There exists a little pattern that I’ve payed special attention to lately. I did not adopt a New Years Resolution until I was asked about it during a party at my cousin’s house this past New Years Eve. I instantly decided to use what had been happening in my life as the answer and I’ve already gathered something from it over the course of this month. Each year brings something significant across my path that forces me to open myself up a bit more, thus growing bit by bit. There is always a new challenge, a new phase of growth I find myself stepping into. This idea brings me to…

    Changes and Doctors

    Last night, a good friend and I headed to Low End Theory to see some DJ’s and the AMAZING Shafiq Husayn do a set. Low End is an electronic hip hop event that takes place at the Airliner every Wednesday night. Last year I witnessed awesome talent there, including Zeroh and The Internet! If you’re ever in downtown Los Angeles, on a Wednesday, I highly recommend it. The beers are also cheap. After waking up fairly hungover, my mind was on nothing but today’s appointment with my new doctor. Actually, for a bit my mind was on some new music my friend just put out, as well as a new…
