<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fall is in the swing of things and so are the winds of change. The leaves, the weather, the clothes and the things that connect us on a higher level are all headed in the other direction on the pendulum. Its safe to say that we all go constantly from one stage of life to the next, getting over one obstacle just to discover that there is one on the other side to challenge us in different ways than we ever expected. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This has been life as usual for the past 24 years of my life, but Ive only been able to begin to understand and recognize the points of transition the last few years. I almost get excited now, because I don't ever know what to expect but it just keeps getting more and more interesting.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Right now I am back at another point where I know somethings coming around the bend and one thing Ive learned is that no matter what that "something" is, I am coming out on top. I just have to hang on. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This weeks jam comes from a band with cool mellow vibes straight out of the Mountains of NC. With a style of music that, in itself, promotes unity and harmony with its blend of different sounds and voices coming together, Common Foundation is building a foundation of its own that is sure to stand strong for years to come. So turn up your speakers and put on your favorite head phones, hold tight to the pendulum of change and always remember to swing easy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Venus Williams is 31 years old and just lost the other day to put her out of Wimbledon 2011.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite those 2 facts, she will still kill me any day of the week in a tennis match...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Top of the morning playas...It's not often that I get a blog out before NooN on the East Coast, but today is Monday....Mellow Monday....and I love Jamz.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This morning I got the Throwback Jamz channel on the t.v. This station plays 90's Jamz, but one song that came through the tube was from 1986. (Probably the greatest year to roll through the calendar. Why? Because on 12/21/86, I came through the calendar)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The song was by Cameo listed on the album "Word Up"- Back and Forth</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/A2eU2CG3WN8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Doods...gotta love the attempt at the box hair cut...."It'll blow your cap!"...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When I was listening to this song, I was reminded of a song by a group that was popular in the 90's, The Wu Tang Clan....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In 2001, the Clan, riding on the success of the 90's, released a single for their upcoming CD called...Gravel Pit... This jam was def. on my mix CD's back in high school</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Man....look at the difference 10 years made...that 80's style is rockin right back around the bend though...I guess it just all goes....</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So it's Sunday but I have a problem. I have had too much Fun today........................................</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">...I know......How could I be having TOO much Fun...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">......</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">....because I have a 1000 word essay due at 11:59 pm Pacific Time and I have just been having Fun ALL day!.....!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So in an attempt to get started here at 6:29 p.m. I am going to get creative. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I was logging, BACK, in to my online class a few minutes ago for about the millionth time today and I knew in my mind that I had to get started and I had to brainstorm. So to make this work more interesting, I am going to BrAiNsToRm while blogging...or...make my blog a BrAiNsToRm....I think I am gonna go ahead and call this blog..."BrAiNsToRm"... .... .... .... ..... do you know how long it takes to pause and type..."BrAiNsToRm".....yea...takes a little bit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Ok so my assignment is this:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-I have to select an ethnic group to which I belong: <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok<em>, so I know for sure that I have English and Cherokee. English isn't an ethnic group though. It's an origin. But, White, IS considered an ethnic group, since that is my only option I can select on any survey that's given to me. There is a Native American option, but I'm mix, so...could I choose the "more than one" option on this stuff...stuff like the census. I mean, I have white skin but....were talking ethnicity here lol...ah its all ridiculous if you ask me...ok lets get on with it...</em></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-If I belong to more than one group, I have to choose one that I most identify with or one that I want to know more about: <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>Ok, so I have already written an essay on Cherokee in this class since that is what I was the most interested in. I guess English it is...or White in this case.</em></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-I have to decide if my ethnic group colonized or if it immigrated to the United States: <em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We definitely colonized the United States and took out the Natives. I guess that makes me a product of a Pocahontas and John Smith story...lol...</span></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-Did we face prejudice, segregation, racism, or any combination of the three?<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We were involved in segregation from African Americans and also racism. Not only them, but also with Japanese.</span></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-If so, how and why? <em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hmmm this should be the interesting part...Back in the day we all had separate water fountains and bathrooms and seats on the bus and churches. We took away Chinese rights. We took away Native Americans rights. Man it seems like we were taking away everbodys rights. Why? hmm.... power hungry? Greed for the land? Fear of the unknown people? Maybe they thought that someone would outrun forest gump lol... </span></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I'm just glad it's not like that nowadays. There's things we can learn from each other I'd hate to be classified as a dude that wears tights and fluffy shirts...SOOMEBODY along the way FINALLY taught those white dudes how to dress.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-Was the group affected by any of the following forms of discrimination, or did it participate in any of the following forms of discrimination? If so, describe: * Dual labor market * Environmental justice issues * Affirmative action * Redlining * Double jeopardy * Institutional discrimination * Reverse discrimination * Glass ceiling, glass walls, or glass escalator: <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>Ok, so I did a paper in high school about Affirmative action so I am definitely going to include some thoughts on that subject. Reverse discrimination kind ties in with Affirmative action.</em></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">-Do you culturally identify more with the ethnic group you examined, with United States mainstream culture, or with both equally? <em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is a no brainer. Ive always been culturally identified as white. I mean it takes me a while to get a tan, know what I'm sayin'....my sister got the benefit of those genes....thanks Tiff...btw you don't look Cherokee Tiff....you definitely look like an Asian....</span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>But to the United States mainstream.... I am white...</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Ok now I have to go look up some sources.....It is now 7:13 pm....I have 5 hours...let's see how Fun this Sunday can REALLY be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Today's song was written by artist Dave Brubeck. It is off of his "Jazz Collection" album and also "Real Ambassadors". Louis Armstrong is the vocalist...This song would be so hard to follow and sing if all you hear was the piano and he nailed it. I don't think that there could have been a better artist to sing this piece. Armstrong turned 60 just a month before this ballad was recorded in 1961. Dave Brubeck turned 90 last year and is recognized in the world of music as a Jazz Master. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Check out this dynamic duo...and keep it Mellow...after all...It's summer time.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So last night I went out and celebrated my recent job offer. I'll be a teller at Chase bank. The job is a Godsend because money goes fast in the City of Angels. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">By the way let me tell you about this job thing. My first goal was to get a job when I got out here to the west. Gotta get that dough. After putting in applications and applying at places like Ralph's and Target (retail) I thought I would get dressed up one day in a shirt and tie and see what I could do at the bank right up the street called Wells Fargo. I thought that this might pay a little more and I have a step up because I have experience in the field. Before I walked out of the door I said, "God, let me be in your favour". I took one resume with me that day and when I arrived I spoke to a teller. She informed me that all applications are submitted online only. I continued to ask her if I could leave my resume with her or the manager. She denied and said everything is done online. Ok, I thought, I took my resume and was on my way. I went outside and gave a homeless gentlemen $2 bucks that I had in my wallet (I told myself [after I ignored him walking into the store] that I would give him what I had when I came out). Then I saw the big Chase sign on the building right across the street from where I was standing. I was only going to go to Wells Fargo that day but since they didn't want my resume and I still had it in my possession and I was still wearing my shirt and tie...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">...I thought, Why Not?...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I walked into the same scenario. A teller advised me that everything is completed online but I continued again to ask if I could leave my resume. He called his manager and asked. A gentleman named Don walked out of the office behind me and said "Sure! Let me take a look." He scanned over it quickly and said, "Have a seat." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I walked in his office and was quickly introduced to another lady named Mellisa. Mellisa happened to be a manager at what they call a "New Build" or new branch in a new area. I then noticed a stack of papers on the desk. They were going over resumes for hopeful applicants. We talked for a while and did some role play. They got to know a little about me and mentioned that I should have no problem going out and meeting people or succeeding in the work place because of my initiative to get out and get it done. "You obviously did the foot work to show your face and bring in your resume". They told me to go home and apply online and take the assessment provided (you are not supposed to have the opportunity to interview without first applying online.) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> "Take your time" she said..."alot of people are failing the assessment"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Don told me to email him after I finished so I followed up and he informed me that someone would be reaching out to me. Later that day Mellisa called and asked me if I would be ok with wearing a shirt and tie and jazz like that, I said "Of Course!". She said that I would be suprised how many people have a problem with that. Im thinking the whole time that those people must not really need a job.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I waited a few days and heard nothing so I called back. I asked Don if he had received the results back from my assessment, he said that he got an email back that said "recommended". He continued to say that someone would be reaching out to me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The next day a recruiter called and said that if I accept my pay rate and benefits package and uniform requirements then I have the job contingent on background check and drug testing. I accepted and he congratulated me because there was a very large pool of applicants and he said that I seemed to impress Don and Mellisa.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Contingent...that word tends to spark doubt even among the great news that I had just received. I took the drug test and fingerprinting in the time frame provided and waited anxiously for 5 days for the results. I called the number that they provided me to check the progress on everything and the recruiter told me that she just had to submit my I9 form and I am good to go. Everything cleared...Congratulations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">YES!!!!!!!!!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This story is a true story. A month in LA and already a job. All honesty, God had every step already planned out. I just had to do me and realize the truth that God really does have my back. Life is like that...all the time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Which brings us to Thirsty Thursday...last night I went out and celebrated which mean that this morning, Thursday morning....I was dehydrated. So I drank like a third of this gigantic container of water in like an hour when I first woke up. Water is essential for the battle of a hangover. First you drink a full glass after your night of celebrating and drinking and in the a.m. you drink more water. Water is life people.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I just have to ask you... What are you thirsty for? A new job? Tighter family ties? A better life? Happiness? Water?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Know that the thirst quencher is out there for you to grab. Its there all the time for you to take a sip. So sit back and don't worry, the water of life will keep you hydrated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">P.S. For all of you mobile readers of my blog (sister in particular) I made some changes to my blog which should make it easier for you to navigate and view my posts. Give me some feedback on how it is working for you.</span>Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01245039661283039281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202932915603392805.post-24201821297541078382011-06-08T18:15:00.001-04:002011-06-08T18:16:15.995-04:00Which one will you choose?<span style="font-size: x-large;">Wellness Wednesday!: June 8, 2011</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you are alive then it is obvious that there is negativity all around you all the time. What we fail to realize is that there is also positivity around us all the time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The things we recognize around us becomes our reality. I challenge you to stay positive despite the negativity. Just try it. The worst that can happen is that you notice the negativity (which you may already be doing).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The point is that YOU have the power of positivity in a world of negative energy. It's contagious. A simple smile or "hello" or acknowledgement to someone else can make a life changing difference. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Be the catalyst that changes the vibes around you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Choose life, that you might live.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">4. Apple juice is bangin (see number1)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">5. This juice doesn't expire until July 20 2013</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There was a Mellow Monday once...May 2, 2011 to be exact, and things got sour! Those lemons life gave me got squeezed and became the best lemonade I've ever tasted. Nantucket Nectars Squeezed Lemonade. This stuff was introduced to me a few years ago by a lady named Shelva (thank you). These guys (Tom and Tom) who met in college decided to move to Nantucket and make a living apart from the shirt and tie lifestyle. They started selling juice off of their boat that they delivered news papers, coffee and laundry to visiting boatman that couldn't access such things very easily. They decided to call their juice Nantucket Nectars. The Juice Guys come through with this weeks Thirsty Thursday!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">How goes it? It's been a while since the last Tasty Tuesday but I'm back with a Brazilian....no not a bikini wax...Brazilian cuisine my friends! I was introduced to this spot located on Sunset Bl. called Bossa Nova. We ordered out one night last week and tonight we decided to give them a visit on the boulevard. The owners that opened up this place in 1993 have one philosophy, Keep the passion alive and never give up on your dreams. It has seemed to have worked because they now have 4 locations in Los Angeles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What did I order off the menu that was so tasty?!?! well in honor of the street that this particular eatery was located on (Sunset Bl), I had to go with the Sunset Pasta:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
