i want to become better

So yeah I know I have been absent/a slacker/procrastinating/ (insert other similar adjectives) here. There is no excuse nor will I make any because the first few adjectives do describe some of the things which has caused me to c-block my blogging duties. But I will make this clear just so that there is an understanding on both ends...I will try my best to update this, however that does not mean on a daily...I will aim for 2-3 a week. But besides that I am doing well:

taking in the freshly brewed Oxygen each day, making mistakes and learning from them as well as learning from others mistakes because it is not possible to make every mistake that is humanly possible, listening/ discovering/"DJ-ing"/ and rediscovering old music, making friends, working like Kunta's long lost run away cousin, reading, studying, runajogawalkin (thats a new exercise I created :) ), eating waterice, and just trying to busy myself...and of course trying to see my friends here and there.

I'm still on my Clazziquai Project ish. That group is like....like...so many things that my soul and ears crave for...its like my new addiction. I can't get enough of them and Alex Chu who is 1/2 of the group who has his own solo cd..which is fire. One of my favorite songs from his cd entitled "My Vintage Romance" is the song Miss Understand f/ Simon Dominic (Simon D). The song is sung in his native language which is Korean, but it is definately a good song whether or not u can understand the words. You can sense the feeling and soul in it (well I do). Listen

How I feel today

Another one for the Brits

Last night I came across this artist while doing my nightly usual of web stuff...V V Brown, I don't know what flavorful mix of brew that England is pumping in there fish and chips and whatever else that is a common thing but lately they have been on a roll. First we had Ms.Whinehouse followd by Duffy and my favorite British singer Adele, but it looks like there is a new lady in town known as V V Brown.

Behind Clothes Doors

Question for you...When you go shopping whether with friends or by yourself do you tend to dance and do little poses in your dressing room? I know I do especially if the store is playing a good song or I'm just feeling the clothing item I have on. I know that its a match made in heaven when I feel a "warm" glow from the outfit....unfortnately this dress got a half warm glow because I felt it was over priced for what Express was charging. Thats ok because I will be back for it with a 15% coupon in my hand :)

In my opinion I think Express & Urban Outfitters have the best muic playlists in there stores. I find myself staying longer just to hear the entire song

I think I fell in love with a robot, so when are you coming home?

See You Soon Grasshopper

Today's post will be a bit dreary, due to the rain and also because of a loss. Today the martial arts world and a small portion of my mid afternoon young childhood suffered a loss today. The dynamic man David Carradine passed. He was found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand while in the midst of filming a new movie.

You may ask who is this David Carradine and why is it such a big deal? Well, my young grasshopper you know him as the white guy (who I thought for the longest was Asian) who played in the show "Kung Fu" or you may remember him as Bill in the movie "Kill Bill". Back in my younger days when I was going through my tom-boy phase, I could remember rushing home or enjoying those days off when I would plant my buns in front of the old rabbit ears for hours and watch in awe of the splendor known as "Kung Fu". I thought it was brilliant and how I learned so much on what it took to become a ninja or a monk? I don't remember but I thought it was cool when he had flashbacks and it showed how he had to learn how to hold pebbles that were baking in lava fire, taking pebbles out of his masters hand (which he failed so miserably at), or all the other cool ninja stuff. Anyways there was always a lesson at the end of the episode and a new move I would experiment on people.

So in the end I send my condolences to the Carradine family, and pray for them to get through such a sad time of their life.
