Cant sleep... Maybe music will help

Double Dog Dare

I dare you
-Go out and buy a new flavor of tea (I bought one recently with lavender, peppermint, and many other herbs. Its called calm down or something like that)
- Take a reaaaaly long bath. Add salts, oatmeal, tea, honey, scents, bath bombs, WHAT EVER YOU HAVE in your kitchen light a candle, read a book, or just breath. I like eating food in the bath, makes me feel like a Egyptian/Greek/Roman goddess /i want to get little boats like in the Elizabeth Taylor version of Cleopatra. I think I might get a book on making boats and just apply the measurements to quarter scale and make a bunch of little ships... Yes that's a great way to spend my X-mass holiday... but actually it is
- Learn a new language, not necessarily the whole thing, but maybe basics like Hey, Howya doin, Wheres the bathroom, do you like apple pie? What ever floats your boat!
- Find or explore something that you don't like in the world and take action on it! What ever it is! As Grandmother willow from Pocahontas said, even the tiniest ripples make a difference. They are better than no ripples at all.
- Don't brush your hair for a week, and wash it every other day with a bio degradable shampoo... you don't know if you like it till you try. If your going to do this id say stock up on dry shampoo and wide-tooth combs. and educate yourself in dreading, cuz i have partial dreads in the sense that i separate my hair and palm roll the sections, it keeps my messy hair in check.

Simple fun Sunday (for 1 more hour.)

Try these two things:
1. Stand in front of a mirror, close one eye, and trace your face on the mirror.
2. Draw your hand with the hand that you're drawing.

Ginger Soda

Head aches?
Nausia?
Upset tummy?
or just plain hungover?


Ginger ail works great but has so much sugar in it. Why not make your own medicine! Cheep easy and bad ass!!


1 medium sized ginger root
2 liters of club soda/soda water/ carbonated water (I prefer club soda)
A jug, bowl or what ever!


Cut the ginger root into thin strips, then combine all of the above in your jug or bowl of choice, place in the fridge and wait. Its not a set recipe you can add more or less ginger,  leave it in the fridge anywhere from 1 hour- over night and shake gently occasionally.. Strain into glass(es) and serve with ice and or lemon wedges (this is optional, the scent of lemon helps with nausea).


 CURED!!!

Why?

First off listen to this.



"Turn the television off, cousin, that ain’t nothing for a girl to see
I’ve got a niece and best believe she mean the world to meand she don’t need to see the shit that they think a girl should be"
First of I fully agree with this. As I have said before we have this ideal woman placed in our minds wither we realize this or not. there are so many things wrong with television and media, do the good really weigh out the bad?


"ninety pound skinny bitches that ain’t even girl to me
essentially this shit designed to take a hold of youtelling lies till your vision takes control of you"
WOah...woahhh... wait... so you cant yell "go on a diet" but you can yell at us who are twigs by gene "go eat a sammage!!"...... you say what?????? Kay I agree, not everyone should be on a diet or ashamed of their bodies, but seriously? How hypocritical is that?


"they finding different ways to take your fucking soul from you
a show about a model make your self esteem low for you
everything is fake trust me no one that lovely
I’ve met a lot of famous people and they fat and ugly"
The rich and famous are very much edited and what not, same with models. This is horrible for everyone young and old. The stakes are set too high. We should identify this and move on. Until society stops being so fucking fascinated with this culture we wont change. 


"I ain’t any better I just think the fact is funny
that they’ll take a little girl and pimp her for the cash and money
and whats gonna become of them in like fifty years
when Hannah Montana turning into Britney spears
they chew you up and spit you out cus no one really cares
and aint nobody gonna hold you when you really scared
where the parents at cousin this is really bad
is this the motherfucking manager or really dad
is he concerned about his daughter or his silly pad
this aint gonna change nothing I jus think this is really sad"
Nuff said.
