USE THE WATER HOSE!
THIRSTY THURSDAY: April 28, 2011
So we have had alot of rain and storms lately...hmm...makes me have to go pee....makes me think about naps...makes me think about playing in the rain....oh yea...*cough*...AND it makes me THIRSTY OF COURSE!
THE ULTIMATE THIRST QUENCHER!!!!!! H2O YO!
Back in the day we would run in and out of my grandma's house constantly to get something to drink or get some food....but mostly drink because we were fighting most of the time about some kind of nonsense and we got tired quickly. Needless to say, Grandma got tired of it after a while and it was either "IN OR OUT!" .... we chose outside of course but when we got thirsty we would be at he screen asking for something to drink...."USE THE WATER HOSE!".......
and so we did.
You may be saying...."EW, you drank water out of the water hose!".....um, yes, and I also drink water from tap...out of the sink...from PWC! OH KNOW!
I'm not dead yet guys...still alive and still kickin'! THE WATER IS SAFE! lol
I'm sorry if you are one of those people that drink only expensive bottled water. SMH. Now they ARE convenient and they have some kick ass bottles but what if "shit hits the fan" and bottled water is no longer available....better get used to drinking dirty water!
My point is...if you ever get to the point of almost thirsting to death...there is NOTHING like H2O to quench your thirst!
Tip for more water intake: Replace your beverage for 1 meal in your day with a water.
already do that? Drink a whole glass before you eat your meal

- Roughly 70 percent of an adult’s body is made up of water.
- At birth, water accounts for approximately 80 percent of an infant’s body weight.
- A healthy person can drink about three gallons (48 cups) of water per day.
- Drinking too much water too quickly can lead to water intoxication. Water intoxication occurs when water dilutes the sodium level in the bloodstream and causes an imbalance of water in the brain.
- Water intoxication is most likely to occur during periods of intense athletic performance.
- While the daily recommended amount of water is eight cups per day, not all of this water must be consumed in the liquid form. Nearly every food or drink item provides some water to the body.
- Soft drinks, coffee, and tea, while made up almost entirely of water, also contain caffeine. Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic, preventing water from traveling to necessary locations in the body.
- Pure water (solely hydrogen and oxygen atoms) has a neutral pH of 7, which is neither acidic nor basic.
- Water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Wherever it travels, water carries chemicals, minerals, and nutrients with it.
- Somewhere between 70 and 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water.
- Much more fresh water is stored under the ground in aquifers than on the earth’s surface.
- The earth is a closed system, similar to a terrarium, meaning that it rarely loses or gains extra matter. The same water that existed on the earth millions of years ago is still present today.
- The total amount of water on the earth is about 326 million cubic miles of water.
- Of all the water on the earth, humans can used only about three tenths of a percent of this water. Such usable water is found in groundwater aquifers, rivers, and freshwater lakes.
- The United States uses about 346,000 million gallons of fresh water every day.
- The United States uses nearly 80 percent of its water for irrigation and thermoelectric power.
- The average person in the United States uses anywhere from 80-100 gallons of water per day. Flushing the toilet actually takes up the largest amount of this water.
- Approximately 85 percent of U.S. residents receive their water from public water facilities. The remaining 15 percent supply their own water from private wells or other sources.
- By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost over 1 percent of its total water amount.
- The weight a person loses directly after intense physical activity is weight from water, not fat.

B Well With Yourself
WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: April 27, 2011
Step 1: Be well with yourself
Question 1:
Who are you?....no really take a second and answer that...take a snapshot and define yourself and be honest...if we can't be honest with ourselves then we are living lost...its like telling ourselves were at point B when were really at point A on the map...so while it would only take you 5 steps to get to C from A and 2 from B your 3 steps off course....CONFUSED?!...exactly my point...so BE HONEST with yourself!
Take your time, get to know you
Question 2:
If you were a slave and you had a master but you could choose any type of master, what would be their characteristics?
Question 3:
If you were a slave master, how would you treat your slaves?
....wait...we have only been enslaved by ourselves... we don't know who we are or what we stand for. Stand up for what you appreciate and appreciate what your about; then at the end of the day no one can say anything about what you do........because you know who you are and why you are yourself...basically, you can stand up for yourself.
Step 2: B Well with yourself
Vitamin B's to be specific...I say "B" plural because Vitamin B is actually referred to as Vitamin B1, B2,B3,B5,B6,B7,B9,B12...
Some benefits from your B Vitamins include increased metabolism, healthy skin and muscle tone, enhanced immune system and recent studies suggest a protective effect against pancreatic cancer(only when taken from one-carbon nutrients or whole unprocessed foods). (Each "B" having its own benefits)
Lets stick with the whole unprocessed foods please...like a banana...why? because it starts with a B of course...
A... banana contains Vitamin B1,2,3,6,9 (also vitamin K, potassium) (and a banana makes your feel full longer)...
Just eat a banana everyday....stay lookin' good...B well
STEP 3: (my favorite)
SET YOURSELF FREE AND GET LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS A 2 IN 1!
MELLOW MONDAY: April 25, 2011
Yesterday's Mellow Monday is actually on Tuesday with a combined blog. Monday, turned out to be somewhat eventful. I had planned to post after an open mic that I had attended at the Coffee Scene, which btw is very chill, but instead a friend and I played ambulance and took a friend to the hospital. Our friend that resembles Fergie made this weeks blog because she is one of the only people I know that can jam to club music at 3:00 a.m. while throwing up while being driven around a military base. That a way to keep it mellow!
If I can take a little bit to promo the Coffee Scene I will let you know that on Sunday nights they have poetry night and on Monday nights they have acoustic night. The sign up sheet is on the table about 630 to 645 and the mic opens up between 730 and 8. Grab a friend and a coffee and come chill this coming weekend. The good vibes are sure to rub off on you!
I played 3 songs this past Monday night and broke a string during the second song! It happened to be a song that I wrote while I was pissed off at a lady...karma? no, I think I was just playing with too much passion...lol....whatever the case, special thanks goes out to Nicole who let me play her guitar for my last song despite the obvious danger of her having her guitar returned to her broken. MERCIE!

SAY HELLO TO THE KIWI!
For years the strawberry was my favorite fruit...until I discovered...the Kiwifruit or KIWI!!
Kiwi is a rich source of vitamin C, 1.5 times the DRI scale in the US. Its potassium content by weight is slightly less than that of a banana. It also contains vitamin E, and a small amount of vitamin A.The skin is a good source of flavonoid antioxidants. The kiwifruit seed oil contains on average 62% alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. Usually a medium size kiwifruit contains about 46 calories, 0.3 g fat, 1 g protein, 11 g carbohydrates, and 2.6 g dietary fiber found partly in the edible skin. Kiwi is often reported to have mild laxative effects, due to its significant level of dietary fiber.
Fun Fact about KIWI...Kiwifruit Day is on December 21....my birthday also happens to fall on that day!

His transport isn't Amtrak or Greyhound. It's the ultimate SUV -- an $800,000, 45-foot luxury coach fitted with everything from sauna to gourmet galley.
He doesn't fly because he had "a full blown panic attack" on an airplane due to claustrophobia.

TRULY MIXED!
THIRSTY THURSDAY: April 21, 2011
Today may be one of the most creative Thirsty Thursdays we will ever have! Why you ask???
What do you do when you have a handle of Jose Cuervo and just a few drops left of margarita mix?!
REACH FOR THE ICE POPS!!!! That's right...Ice Pops. Since Ice Pops are so amazing, I am going to capitalise "Ice Pops" throughout this entire blog...
For every mixed drink (1 shot) use 3 Ice Pops. I mean these things are so cheap, who doesn't mind using 3?! And who's gonna act like they secretly don't want to eat 3 Ice Pops every time they open the freezer anyways...so give me a break people!
So what you do is:
Pour your shot in a glass
next
Crush your Ice Pops...by any means possible
I chose beating the living daylights out of it against the kitchen counter (you can actually crush it with your hands but some parts are just too frozen for the fingers)
next
Squeeze the Ice Pops out into your glass and stir
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For my drink, I used 2 different flavors or "colors":
2 green and 1 red
...this is what was born...
a minute or 2 later...
With a mixture like this, the green and red colors are separated when it is first made and as you drink it (as the ice melts) the colors combine and I ended up with an orange drink. I thought that was pretty neato.
I have no idea if this idea has already been expressed or published by some other mind but I will say that this is certainly an idea that I will remember in the future!
THIS DRINK HAS NO NAME SO LEAVE YOUR IDEAS IN THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
