trick or TREAT...

Ummm.. I am thinking TREAT

NEW school...

... history in the MAKING

she's A LOT like you...

... the DANGEROUS type

HER voice has been wearing my earbuds out! This chick's album is a non-stop accounting of love gone wrong (...and right, but we all love it more when its WRONG)-- All set to catchy melody. I am the first to admit, i wasnt sure how well Taylor and Rick Ross were gonna get along on my GYM CLASS playlist -- but by the time i was bicep curling it was diss' song after subliminally written diss' song-- gotta love it ;)

Swift has a new fan in me. Love an artist who can write their own stuff-- and this girl is an open book. From that Jonas boy (like i would know which one..*side eye*) to John Mayer to Kanye-- this girl is dropping dime on everyone.... And the lyrical content is not to be fcuk'd with (that right, i am giving blondie STREET CRED'... cause i got ENUFF to SPARE!!!)

iCandy...(mmm...seconds)

candid SHOTS...

rub a dub DUB...

iCandy...

**Studio not included**

who's WHO in my dating past...

so.. just recently i did some thinking about my previous relationships. A sort of 'who's who' in my dating history. Turns out... i get around.

So i have dated...

The powerful business executive

The ex ball player

The school teacher

The thug-type HUSTLER

The Doctor

The Salesman

The retail King

The nympho

The nympho's best friend (*sigh...long story)

The Pastor (and no... definitely NOT that one)

The Artist

uMMmmm.. in my defense- some of these titles/dudes, overlap. I mean.. i get around, but heck.. i am only 28.... 27... 26... umm... in my late twenties ;)

But with these men, clearly labeled and filed in away in my history-- it makes me wonder-- 'what was i, on their list?' I mean, it sounds strange-- but the answers could be VERY different depending on the time of the relationship. Was I the hot co-ed? the Comic book geek? the undercover freak with the toy chest? The all round good guy? The guy who believed everything you told him? The goodie goodie? The boy with the mysterious past? The big dreamer? The Bank manager? The guy who always wanted it with the lights off? The guy who always wanted the lights ON (hey, people change)...

As i continue thru my development- i reflect on what I once was... and visualize what I WILL become. I like to think the dual focus keeps me from treading water and remaining static. I am constantly looking for change and progression. In truth, I feel as though i am in competition with my ex's. I mean, dont we all wanna show an EX, that he made a terrible mistake letting you slip away? Am I the only one that feels that way? I dont wish any of them ill will-- in fact I am friends with many of the people from my past-- but still, when they pull up MY file while reflecting on their past... i want it to be labeled... 'THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY'..

Tarrice has this amazing ability to capture BEAUTY in its simplest form. i have been a big fan of his work for a while now. His use of color, lighting, and angles is INSPIRING.

ready for 12 ROUNDS..?

It always AMAZES me, the amount of beauty found in aggressive sports. You can locate some of the most beautiful men playing some of the most aggressive sports (ie. football, rugby, wrestling, ... mma). These fellas take a beating on one day, and rock a red carpet on the next day. The ability to walk into a kickboxing ring on Saturday, and then turn around and be the best looking guy in the room on Wednesday-- is an impressive SKILL. What are these boys taking...?? Let me miss one night of sleep, and i will look like the captain of my company's 'fight club' team til about the next weekend.

Sheesh... maybe i need to switch to another multi-vitamin *side eye*.

LEARN how to..

mingle with a MOGUL

Call him conceded, eccentric, or just plain crazy. Either way, the boy still gets CALLED. He is a platinum selling artist, but beyond that- he is a noted songwriter, super producer, label owner, and is on his way to becoming a fashion maven. Yes, check on his exclusive design deal with the likes of designer, Louis Vutton.
