truly.madly.deeply

i turned 25 on monday.
..ordered some mac brushes from nordstrom as a birthday present from mi madre
went to see wendy williams with the bestie...
....found out she is pregnant with a boy. my first godchild/nephew
was hoping it was a girl, but soo not disappointed its a boy.....
......that love is amazing. i can't wait for her to experience that.
the hunt for thee stroller is on.......
........usually you don't feel a change with each birthday. but i feel it with this one
its an internal change.........
...........its a conscious change. absolutely intentional *cue dreamgirls, im changing*
its time for me to be who i want to be

im ready for a new tattoo and because of where i am mentally at the moment and where i want to be and remain i will go back to something i've wanted for a long time. when i was little i was sort of fixated with stars because it is so hard to draw one freehand. so when i would doodle it was always me trying to perfect a star. when i was 16 or 17 i was researching the 6 pointed star and its definition and symbolization has stood out to me ever since. i couldn't find the one i read then, but i understood it to essentially mean bringing down the things we hold in our higher level of consciousness and bringing up the things we hold in our lower level of consciousness thus causing the two to meet in the middle, creating balance. and it applied and appealed to me then, but its even more so prevalent and relevant now.

..not sure if i explained that so well so i found some other explanations that correspond..

Finding the dynamic balance between the inner and the outer seems to be one of the great tasks of our lives. And when the balance is found, the star is also perfect.

The heart chakra is the middle chakra in a system of seven. It symbolizes the two polarities of body and spirit as interpenetrating in perfect balance. The upward pointing triangle symbolizes matter rising into spirit. The downward triangle (similar to the ancient female symbol for birth) represents spirit descending into manifestation. To fully open the heart chakra we need to bring into balance the various aspects of our existence, such as male and female, light and shadow, mind and body, practicality and spirituality.

The Three Higher Planes--Atma (Infinity), Buddhi (Light) and Manas (Higher Intelligence) constitute the Higher Self. The Higher Self is represented by the triangle pointing upwards. Interestingly enough, everyone and everything in the Universe has the same three principles in their seven-principled bodies and this constitutes the principle of Universal Brotherhood. The triangle pointing downwards is representative of the lower self, the three principles of sensient life--the "breath of life" (which is a reflection of the Highest Principle), the Astral Body and the physical Body. When we come into existence, these two triangles are separated, the higher above the lower. In between is a single point of consciousness which represets the soul. The soul is the vehicle of our desires. If we desire the things of the lower principles, the fire of out soul is directed downward and, if our lower desires are strong enough, goes out. However, if we direct the fire upwards into our Higher Self, we receive the higher energies necessary to RAISE OUR LOWER SELF into harmony with our Higher Self. Thus the lower and Higher self become locked together in place in perfect Union by the principle of the soul. Thus we attain full consciousness awareness on ALL PLANES of the universe and he have, in effect, spiritualized our lower self, to the point where it has raised its energies into Union with the Higher.

that is all.

borderline irate

jazmine sullivan is singing live on the 20th floor. i'm sitting here 3 floors beneath mad as hell

..ok scratch all that. i was about to go into a rant about how i wasn't gonna be able to go upstairs and see her, but i finally made it upstairs and caught the last 2 songs and i'm beyond pleased! Her voice is amazing. I have more to say but I don't feel like going thru all of it again, but i'll post my convo with my friend sean if you wanna know what i think.. all we talk is music..most of the time and his nephew (my babydaddy) lol

and if you've been living under a rock don't know who jazmine is, i put up a small bio i found online
Contemporary R&B rising star Jazmine Sullivan spent several years learning the ropes of the recording industry before signing to J Records and making her solo recording debut in 2008 with "Need U Bad." The Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter began her career at a young age, making her national television debut on Showtime at the Apollo at age 11 and signing to Jive Records at age 15. Her stint at Jive Records only lasted a couple years, however, and she was dropped by the label before any recordings were released. In the wake of this disappointment, she began working behind the scenes, for instance working with Missy Elliott on productions for Fantasia's debut album, Free Yourself (2004), and writing a couple songs for Christina Milian's third album, So Amazin' (2006), including the hit single "Say I." Sullivan was then offered a solo recording contract with J Records, which released her debut single, "Need U Bad," featuring and co-produced by Missy Elliott, in 2008. Her full-length album debut, featuring productions by Salaam Remi and Stargate, among others, followed later in the year. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

1 time for the big girls!!!

Tocarra Jones of America's Next Top Model fame has proven that not only is big (larger than sample size according the fashion industry) beautiful, but it can also be high fashion. Lots of girls, including myself needed to see a figure like Tocarra's in a magazine that holds as much weight as Vogue, even if it is Vogue Italia. Lets hope America will catch up soon. Comments and judgments have been made speaking to the sexual undertones or even overtones of the spreads in the All Black issue of Vogue Italia, but I don't think all of the spreads are sexual and as also stated, nudity is not as big of a deal in Europe as it is in America. I think the spread is absolutely gorgeous and tasteful. Yes, some of the images look like the could be found between the sheets of King magazine, but they're not, they'll be in Vogue Italia. So big up to Toccara! Has an ANTM model ever been featured in such a high profile fashion magazine? And among the ranks of Naomi Campbell??


I got the pics from clutch

i like...

a strong man in every sense of the word. I want my man to truly be a man, to take care of his own, home, and take the garbage out lol. I want him to have a strong sense of love, respect, family and loyalty. Its also important he have a strong sense of self. And a man I can break down and say whatever I want to…not a good look. I need a man that demands respect as much as I do.

Honestly, there were a lot of players I didn’t list in my “roster” a few posts back, but what I learned from one, we’ll call him The Infant, is that, I don’t want to raise you. I have a 3 year old to raise, I don’t have time to do what your mama should have done already. When I say I want a G.A.M., I mean I need you to know who you are already, there’s a certain way I need you to carry yourself, and carry on conversations. I need your mentality to be that of a man who has lived and through an intelligent process of elimination has decided who he will be and how he will live his life. And definitely if getting the latest pair of Jordans is at the top of your "to do" list, you need not apply here. I want a man that is able to expose me and teach me things, not always vice versa. Or let’s learn together. Homeboy is not expected to know everything, but sweetie, the fundamentals need to be learned, absorbed, and executed.

I don’t want a man to love me and deal with my shit because he’s insecure or afraid no one else will come along, because he's just complacent and comfortable, or thinks that maybe I’m a good look for him or some other bullshit ass reason other than the one that truly matters and counts the most, . I need my man to be a rock, as I will be his, but he needs to be able to head a household if necessary. I need to be able to trust that I can follow his lead and he should be able to do the same.

As much as I want love and to be in a relationship, I want someone to love me for exactly who I am. I want to know that if I fuck up, that yeah, there’s a good chance he may leave and vice versa, and because we want to keep, maintain and nourish our love, we’ll do what it takes to stay together. I want someone whose love I will have to work for because he’ll damn sure have to work for mine. Anything worth having is worth fighting for; and I’m not talking about the foolish fighting we do to keep someone who is all wrong with us. I’m talking about the love that’s worth it, that hits a rough patch, and maybe communication is not the greatest, and maybe circumstances change, and money is scarce, and bills aren’t paid, and we’re frustrated, but we got each other, but you get on my fucking nerves, but we’ll get through this together and be all the better for it type of love. Not you whooped my ass AND your baby mother keeps calling here, I told that bitch to stop calling my house…type of love lol

end rant.
