“John Famiglietti, the bassist for the L.A.-based experimental noise rock outfit HEALTH, who played the Mojave tent on Sunday evening, is the band’s spirit animal. A shimmering, shaking hallucination in a boldly patterned shirt, guiding the live set to its shattering denouement.

His silken mane of black hair a study in motion, he lithely glides and shakes across the stage like a human-faced leopard on an acid trip. He is impervious to heat and sweat while the band’s lead singer, Jake Duzsik regularly towels off his dripping face and hair.”

New Math in HIV Fight

Shoulder muscles and blades hurt from so much swimming, but it’s being effective, I can feel my body toning up a bit. I need a morning routine for laps before all the maniac neighbors come out to play though. Really wishing I had a new suit but ah, work with what you got right? I’m just bummed because my black halter swim top is MIA.

My nose is stuffy, allergies suck, especially when going from extreme cool weather to expecting triple digits this week.

Wah wah wah.. Let’s see.. What else.. Aiden is sick, poor baby.

Pele is dilated 2 cm so she won’t have to wait for 40 weeks, really, 38 weeks would be the easiest guess and Aaron may well be here already. Right now I believe she is at 36 weeks along.

Also, seriously wanting a job, I feel stagnant. I need to pay some bills and get things back in working order. I need to get my birth certificate out of my crap and turn it in for copies for my next appointment too.. bah.

I’m getting tan.. not because I want to, or I think it’s cool because I certainly prefer being pale in some sense.. Whatever pale olive skin looks like anyway. My body needed the vitamin D for sure and it’s cleared up my skin a little. Mainly I blame socializing and the pool. Mostly the pool. And even moreso Carlos, Mike, Dane, Chief, Tim, Jason, and the rest of the Westwood.Oh, and then there’s the firey burning ball of shit in the sky too. I think they call it a sun. Who knew?

-shrugs- I seriously feel as tired as this rambling sounds. Goodnight world!

Okay, so this weekend, Mo and I tried an at home waxing kit (Sally Hansen Natural BARE waxing strips).  It was our first time waxing, so we figured we’d get this cheaper kit (about 10 or 11 dollars) as opposed to spending $40 at Sephora for the Poetic Waxing Kit.  Here’s my take on this product: 

You don’t heat or microwave the strips, you rub them between the palms of your hands to heat the wax.  You need to do a lot of hard, fast rubbing for the wax to get the perfect sticky consistency.  Once the wax is soft enough, you place it on your skin in the direction that the hair grows in and rip it off in the opposite direction.  The product worked very well on my arms, however, they did little to nothing on the bikini area.  

They were an alright buy, and apparently suppost to be natural and healthy and stuff, but I would not buy this product again.  Maybe I was using it wrong, but I think it was just the product.  For womanly areas, I would probably buy the more expensive and worthwhile. 

Stay beautiful!

Let’s make ramen healthier…

On a college student’s budget? Did your parents pack you nothing but noodles? Let’s spice up that boring package of dried noodles. There are many ways you can dress your soup. But here is the one I made today.

1 package of ramen

1 cup shredded green cabbage

2 cloves garlic

1 stalk of green onion, chopped

1 tsp of chopped ginger

1/2 tsp of hot sauce (optional, but oh so good)

Boil 2-3 cups of water, add in cabbage, garlic, ginger. Let boil for 3 minutes. Add in ramen noodles and let boil for another 3 minutes. I usually add in only half of the seasoning packet. Stir. Now you can add in the hot sauce if you want. Now, you can add the green onion. Take off the burner and serve! 

So delicious and nutritious. I didn’t have any, but usually I put chopped up carrots into the soup the same time I add the cabbage.

How to Improve Sensitive Skin? | Beauty:

In modern society, people pay more and

Q: I know that certain fish like salmon is beneficial for my health and my physique, but shouldn’t I just take a fish oil supplement instead and not eat fish to avoid mercury poisoning? Or are fish oil supplements also contaminated with mercury?

A: You should regularly consume fatty fish like salmon AND take fish oil supplements. The omega-3 fats they provide offer your body a plethora of benefits that include enhanced cardiovascular health, protection from certain cancers, better brain function and mood, improved joint and muscle recovery, and enhanced fat loss. And that is just the short list of benefits. If you worry about mercury contamination, don’t. While many alarmist groups want you to be terrified by the thought of eating fish or fish products like fish oil due to possible poisoning from methylmercury, PCBs (polycholorinated biphenyls), and dioxins, it’s mostly paranoia and sensationalism. In fact, the USDA has maintained that most people should include a variety of fish and seafood in their diets. And research studies support their advice. A report by the US National Academies of Science, Institutes of Medicine in conjunction with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Institution (NOAA) concluded that there should be no change in public health guidelines for fish as established by the FDA, as the contamination scare is largely overblown, and that there is a bigger health risk in not eating fish. And a Harvard School of Public Health study reached a similar conclusion. The Harvard scientists reported that the health effects of low-level mercury in adults are not clearly established and that the levels of both PCBs and dioxins are low. They stated that the potential cardiovascular and other effects of these contaminants are outweighed by the confirmed benefits of eating fish. They even stated that they were somewhat surprised by how little evidence there was of harm from fish. So regularly eat fish, such as salmon, white tuna and trout two to three times per week. And also take 1-2 grams of a fish oil supplement two to three times a day with meals. One research study found that out of all the fish oil supplements they tested, none were positive for any of these contaminants. If you’re planning on getting pregnant soon, you may want to watch your fish intake. Avoid eating certain fish that have been found to be higher in mercury than other fish, such as shark, swordfish, mackerel king and tile fish. Or just play it completely safe with just a fish oil supplement, which will not only boost your health, but the health and development of your baby.

Tomorrow is the start of a new lifestyle. Yes its a bit exciting and stressful. But I think I can work it out. I don’t want to be peppy for two weeks and then just give up. Today my family got most our healthy food and tomorrow we get the rest. We have greek yogurt, lean meats, fruit, low fat cheese, nuts, and honey. We are going to get mushrooms, veggies, and herbs tomorrow. I’ve been swimming a lot. Me and my mom think will go swimming everyday after din dins. It’s also chore day so I’ll wake up and eat,shower,chores,workout. Afterwords I’ll do what I want up until dinner and then swim go to bed. I’ve been getting out of my ocd more and more. My room is actually a mess! Not like a tiny mess. No theres a pile of random shiz on the floor bedding, clothes, hangers. Theres makeup still out on my vanity, and my bed is unmade. My house is an absolute mess as well! My nail polish is chipped and my face is broken out and you know what!? For once I don’t care as much! So I’ll clean tomorrow not in my remotes all lined up perfectly, the world disgusts me way in a normal person way! OVER EXCITED BUT ITS SOME PROGRESS!

Lately, I've been loving my body.

Like I know it’s not perfect, but I’m starting to appreciate myself more. In fact, it’s getting to...

Keep away colon and other cancers by “Getting your beauty sleep”

Well-rested people are perceived to be younger, healthier and more attractive – and even if  you’ve been dog-tired for months, it takes only one night of great sleep for your beauty and health score to head back up, a recent Swedish study shows. At the same time, fitting in at least seven hours of sleep nightly single-handedly cuts your risk of colorectal adenomas (abnormal cells that can quickly turn cancerous) in half, according to just-published Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine research. “Less sleep can lower your production of melatonin, a natural hormone that helps repair damaged DNA,” explains lead scientist Li Li, M.D. “It can also trigger insulin resistance, which has been shown to increase the risk of colon cancer.”

The Disciple


When Narcissus died, the flowers of the field asked the river for some drops of water to weep for him.

‘Oh!’ answered the river, ‘if all my drops of water were tears, I should not have enough to weep for Narcissus myself. I loved him!’

‘Oh!’ replied the flowers of the field, ‘how could you not have loved Narcissus? He was beautiful.’

‘Was he beautiful?’ said the river.

‘And who could know better than you? Each day leaning over your bank, he beheld his beauty in your water…’

‘If I loved him,’ replied the river, ‘it was because when he leaned over my water, I saw the reflection of my waters in his eyes.’

That’s called the Disciple.


Well I read this story a couple of years ago & I was quite fascinated even then. But this is not the reason why I have shared the story with you guys today. I don’t want to talk about the story, but I want to talk about the personality disorder - Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).

Anyway before I talk about the disorder…I want to tell a little about Narcissus. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was an extremely beautiful man who rejected all his admirers. One of his greatest admirers was the beautiful nymph Echo. As is obvious, he fell in love with his reflection in a pool. He was finally transformed into the flower that bears his name. From this legend comes the term narcissism & it means exclusive love of self.

People often confuse self-love with narcissism, but there's a big difference between the two. The narcissist actually loves his image which he projects on others; he also suffers from low self-esteem. Some theories suggest that he wants to love whereas those who truly love and accept themselves can love others unconditionally and it's not so with the narcissist. This disorder is closely linked with self-centeredness.

Basically narcissism is defined as a pattern of traits & behaviors that signify obsession with one’s self to the exclusion of all others, & the egoistic & ruthless pursuit of one’s gratification, dominance & ambition. It has been said that it is mostly due to childhood abuse & trauma. It is also said that it’s quite difficult to recognize a narcissist as he/she is all the time acting & thereby projects a false image. Of course these people need help, but they rarely get diagnosed, cause they don’t go to a shrink as such.

I read somewhere that ‘the fable of Narcissus is essentially a warning about the dangers of vanity, and of always considering one’s self before others. There is a little bit of Narcissus in all of us. And if left unchecked, it can ruin us.’

Yeah it may seem weird but isn’t it amazing that someone could actually worship himself? I met this woman & she claimed that she loved herself in spite of all her faults. She specifically mentioned that she paid all her bills. Naturally who else would do that? Oh no I didn’t say that! How could I? I have manners & she wanted to deceive herself & me. Anyway then she narrated a couple of things that she did (that no one else could have done for her) & again she came back to her obsession or whatever it was. In my opinion, she wasn’t a real narcissist. She was posing to be one. And most probably, she didn’t know that it was a personality disorder. She really liked saying that she loved herself. If she was so much in love with herself, what was the need to say it aloud? This is just one example. I’m sure you all must have met characters.

About the disciple, I guess I don’t need to say anything or the charm would be lost.

In search of truth

“Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are.”

- Oscar Wilde

Forgive me, if I don’t happen to look at things like you, but I just can’t help it. Anyway, time mostly answers most of the questions. My search is not of a different kind…it’s just a bit painful, if one hasn’t been attached to suffering for long. Yeah, that is some opinion.

We all know that opinions, by all means, do not alter facts. But then what are facts? Something besmeared so badly that you can’t even dare to look at it. If and when, you catch a glimpse of it, you feel sorry for either the world or yourself. And why does that happen? Because truth in all it’s beauty can be quite an ugly sight.

It takes years to discover the truth and the beauty of it diminishes within a fraction of a second. It simply takes a moment to change everything…everything that you ever believed in. Just one moment and you are not even left with one tiny hope…What a pity but then this is life! This is the price you pay without bargain when you seek out the truth with all your heart.

When life unmasks a person, we are usually shocked. But when life unveils the truth, we are lost…Okay maybe not lost. But where do we stand? Most probably where scorching sun burns us or where thunderstorm nearly kills us and yet we don’t die.
