Brigitte Bardot

She makes me lesbian.Only her.

Fashion designers need to realize what the average soft-bodied woman looks like.

I used to be brainwashed by fashion and hound-shop every store in search of the new-me, and became recognized for my wardrobe and my originality and tastefulness..I thank being born in the year of the tiger for that, we are just BORN fashionable...I even wanted to become a designer myself, but now I´ve also come to see-through the fashion industry, having been in Japan and India I now know where everything is manufactured...child slaves ring a bell anyone? So I´ve become more grown up now and I thank yoga for that. But I´m sad that young girls are such slaves to fashion. It makes me really sad to see a beautiful girl following the newest trends without realizing what her OWN personal best assets are. Most of the time, these girls haven´t got a clue of who they are, they just follow what´s in fashion. They always just want to wear the newest clothes, without thinking about how it represents them. In fact, most fashion designers are MEN and many of them are GAY MEN... and I´m afraid those people have even less of an idea what our young women´s best assets are. Let me tell you, many women of today´s age are soft-bodied with beautiful curves, many women are also over-weight with a gut, many women have small breasts, many women have big breasts, many women have large hips, many women have big feet, many women have et cetera... I think 1% of the women today look like they do in the magazines with the "perfect" body shape but so then WHY are all the latest fashion trends always designed for that 1%... ? Most young women want to dress in the newest fashions so why don´t you fashion designers look around yourselves, step out and see that women´s body-shape is so curvy and extraordinarily beautiful but the clothes you design is making them look out-of-shape. For quite some time now, in the west especially it´s been in "style" to look like a prostitute. And recently it´s just gotten worse, girls are wearing skin tight everything, see-through dresses and blouses, and drag queen heels and now the newest is to dye your hair in a random colour such as green or pink. And the young women keep up with the trends and step out of the house looking like SEX. I don´t want fashion designers to make young women look like this! Even my mom is a beautiful successful lady living in Manhattan and whenever she steps into a fashion store with gorgeous clothes they never have anything in her size. And my mother is FAR-FROM-BEING-FAT. I am so repulsed by this fashion society and how badly they have treated the women´s image. Women are graceful, powerful, beautiful, extraordinary creatures and they should be treated with more care and respect. I´m so sad by what you´ve made our women into! Women in the west deserve MORE than what you are designing! Think GODDESS EMPOWERMENT next time you design.

But, of course, this is the place for it;
this is the perfect spot.
Oh! Guilt and fear are with you;
yes, of course, that's quite all right.
We wouldn't want you sleeping well;
that really ruins OUR nights.

There are things to eat at the sideboard;
just words and junk and pain.

will, of course, be served again.

Yes! Welcome to Depressionville!
We're all so glad you've come.
Let us know what we might do
to keep you feeling numb.
May your stay be long and bitter;

The Two Bulls and the Frog

Two bulls engaged in shocking battle,
Both for a certain heifer´s sake,
And lordship over certain cattle,
A frog began to groan and quake.
"But what is this to you?"
Inquired another of the croaking crew.
"Why, sister, don´t you see,
The end of these big brutes will yield,
And then be exiled from the field?

No more permitted on the grass to feed,
He'll forage through our marsh, on rush and reed;
And while he eats or chews the cud,
Will trample on us in the mud.
Alas! to think how frogs must suffer
By means of this proud lady heifer!
This fear was not without good sense.
One bull was beat, and much to their expense;
For, quick retreating to their reedy bower,
He trod on twenty of them in an hour.

Of little folks it oft has been the fate
To suffer for the follies of the great.

HERBAL MEDICINE

Bruce Lee, Tony Jaa and Tigers

I am a yoga princess who loves the nature. I get energy from the trees and my heart flutters when I see animals. For a long time, I had allergy and was not able to come near to animals with fur without having severe breathing issues and hives and red eyes. After I practiced pranayama and meditation and yoga, I believe my allergy is gone. I am now able to be close to animals. I am so thankful to that blessing. When I was a young girl, I had dolls but I never played with them, I always played with my teddy bears.

Animals are the greatest. They are so connected with nature and you hardly ever see animals pretending to be something they're not. I´m born in the year of the Tiger. I´m a fire-tiger. I love being a Tiger but it also makes me sad. People are so jealous of Tigers. Nowadays, everyone tries to be the queen of the jungle, thinking I CAN I CAN I CAN. When actually they should just be who they are. For instance, if you´re an ugly chick, be an ugly chick don´t put on fancy make up and clothes and TRY to be something you´re not and never will be... just plz... find something else to do with your life you wannabe. Not saying they can´t dress up when it´s their birthday or some special occasion, but I think most people are just trying to hard to be something they´re just not. You don't see a pig buying tiger skin and doing its make up to look like a tiger? Pigs are just fine the way they are. And I see a lot of non-Tigers pretending to be Tigers..and what do they do with the real tigers? Everyone is afraid of the Tiger and when they´re afraid, they seek to destroy.

I believe Tigers should be left alone and worshipped at a distance. I just read a wildlife sanctuary magazine about the tigers in India, well this year 2012 they´re planning on building 18 new railways THROUGH the tiger-jungles. I don´t know if you know but already there's a huge decline in wild tigers in India. 2 years ago they were only around 1200 left in the wild. And if the humans are planning on building 18 new railway tracks THROUGH their jungles, god forbid what will happen. You see, Tigers need a lot of jungle terrain otherwise they are not happy campers...they are in a sense, protectors of the forest. They need to be worshipped and people need to stay away from their homes. I don´t know when this cruel world will realize that TIGERS are irreplaceable... and trees well, I would never ever ever ever cut down a tree if I were queen of the world.

I could just fantasize all day

These creatures are in the deep abyss of my mind, my heart, and I know that they´re out there somewhere, hiding...
I believe in dragons and unicorns. I believe in spirits, elves and ghosts. I believe in trees, flowers, mountains. I believe in the Sun and the Moon. I believe in Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Shiva, Krishna, etc. But most of all I believe in God. One God for ALL.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon

A dog named Willie Nelson

I watched a movie yesterday about a young man who had nothing but compassion for the whole world. His family called him an idiot. His girlfriend dumped him for another and kept the dog, Willie Nelson. The guy was so nice that he even sold weed to a policeman in uniform because he just believed the cop to be telling him the truth. The poor man had to go to jail twice in the movie but all is well that ends well. He ended up working as a candle-maker and got the dog back. Willie Nelson then runs away to a park where he meets another dog-bitch, guess what her name was? Dolly Parton! True love eh?

Anyway, I feel a lot like that idiot brother sometimes. I´ve always believed the best in people and try not to judge anyone. But as soon as I hear or see something that I disagree with I will not be kind to them. But overall I´d say I´m very compassionate to all human beings. I´ve been exceptionally nice to bums, rejects and misfits because I never cared what anybody else thinks. In the end, I had pretty bad company just because I was too nice. Thank God, I didn´t end up in jail or anything like that. But now I've gotten away from the worst company and have been pretty much doing my own thing, travelling and discovering myself. :))))) I'll make a wish today, seeing as it´s my birthday. I wish to meet other great people on my journey in life who are also compassionate and full of love for everyone on this planet.

USEFUL ADVICE

Everyone has dreams. Whether they are big or small, they have vast importance in our lives. But, the procrastinator in all of us doesn't have to win. With just a little bit of planning, accomplishing a goal is a simple task.

1. Set a realistic but challenging/inspiring goal. Take a big dream, like "I want to be famous", and break it down into smaller, more manageable steps, like "I want to star in a science fiction movie", "I want to go to three auditions a week", "I want to move to another city" and "I want to save $5000 so I can move." Make the goal big enough to challenge and excite you, but not so big that you hesitate to take the first steps.

2. Plan ahead. Once you've broken down your goal into pieces, write down the steps on a piece of paper to make sure you have everything thought out. One of the worst things that can happen is you're almost to the point of your goal, but you're not sure what to do next. Also, give yourself deadlines for each step. Otherwise, you'll end up procrastinating and never achieving your dream.

3. Brainstorm ideas. Are there different ways to reach your goal? Write everything down that you can think of in three minutes, no matter how silly or impossible it may seem. For example, you could go to acting school, or maybe you could land a spot in a reality show that would get you started.

4. Ask questions. No one can tell you exactly what you should do to achieve your goal, but one of the best sources for guidelines is to ask those who have done what you hope to achieve. Learn from the experience of others without trying to imitate them.

5. Define and describe your goal. Write down when you want to achieve it. Write down the reasons why you want it. Write down what it would feel like after you have achieved it. Figure out exactly what it will take to get it. Be realistic about the time things will take. Many people don't allow themselves enough time, and give up too soon.

6. Be positive. Your goal should be written and have positive intent about what you want to bring into your life. This is very important, since the focus of your goal should not be centered around describing a problem you want to eliminate.

7. Make contingency plans. Never forget about the problems that might come up on the way, and prepare for them. Positive thinking is important, but preparedness is better than being shocked or devastated when obstacles appear.

8. Learn from mistakes. Making mistakes should be a subject at school to teach all children how to learn from them, instead of trying to avoid them. In the pursuit of a goal, you are likely to make some mistakes. Don't see them as bad or get angry. They are important to correct you and to lead you to success.

9. Draw on all your past achievements that are relevant to your goal. No matter how small you perceive your achievements, list them anyway. It could be something small, such as joining a healthy eating mailing list, to coming home from work late, yet preparing a tasty nutritious meal for your family in under 30 minutes. Once you review your list, you will be amazed at how all those small achievements soon add up, and how much you are really capable of doing.

10. Visualize. Close your eyes and imagine yourself accomplishing your goals. Where are you? How did you get there? How do you feel? Do this often. Don’t get swayed easily with the noise and happenings going on outside. Put your attention on what you are trying to achieve. Remember the goal, and you will have control over the discomforts and difficulties.

11. Listen to your internal dialogue. What you are saying inside affects you physically, emotionally and mentally. Is your defense system inside trying to make you stick to your past, limiting beliefs and perceptions? Take over and challenge your inner critics. Monitor any excuses you might be making in relation to your goal. For example, saying "I don't finish work until late and won't have time to cook!" You must recognize that if you are truly passionate about your goal, it is up to you to make time.

12. Make a list of your personal strengths in relation to your goal. For instance, if you have a healthy eating goal you might want to consider strengths such as your level of commitment to eating healthily, or the fact that you enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes or even that you are an excellent cook. The list of personal strengths you can draw up is endless.

13. Seek help. Find the information, skills and knowledge that you need from other people, books, and audio or video programs. Speed up your learning process by emulating what other successful people have done. You save time and get results faster.

14. Create benchmarks or milestones. A benchmark is something you can use to measure your progress and know you're on track. For example, you can write "The first stage of reaching my goal will be done when I'm in the Entertainment section of the newspaper!" or "I'll know I've reached my goal of being famous when I'm a guest on Oprah."

15. Make a time line. Draw a horizontal time line with a dot at each end. The left end represents now, and the right end represents a point in the future. Specify what you want to happen and when, from now until then.

16. Be passionate. Striving towards a goal without passion is like a fire which slowly runs out of fuel to burn. Get excited; this will mean that you will love what you are doing. Methodically check your behaviors against impassioned dreams developed as a child. Always share the child within amongst your potential peers. This empowers the Law of Attraction that shapes the dreams of the child into the creative force of the adult.

17. Revisit, evaluate, and if necessary, adjust your goals. Keep a written record of your goals in a place where you'll remember to read them every day. They'll change and adjust over time as your life does, so keep them up-to-date.

18. Consider new opportunities and options that come your way. Sometimes things have a way of unintentionally leading you exactly where you want to go.

19. Start working towards your goals today. Ask yourself, "What can I do today to get one step, however small, closer to achieving my goals?"

20. Persevere. Now that you've got the momentum going, don't let it stop! Some steps may seem less exciting than others, but make sure to stick to your plan until the end!

Peter Gabriel

There was a band I had heard of but never really listened to. Then somehow by chance, a boy from school had a crush on me and made me a mixtape. The mixtape was amazing.. it had songs by Ennio Morricone and Frank Zappa but nr 12 on the mixtape was Genesis - Musical Box. I couldn't believe my ears, by the 6th minute I had to stop the car and really dance with the song. It's blown my ears away for the past week. I listen to this song often each day and bought the record.. If you haven't you really should give this band a listen.

Here is an excellent live performance of Musical Box CLICK HERE and here is my favourite live performance of all time. Play me my song here it comes again. <--- you must see this video my heart exploded.

So I'm going to continue listening to this man because I am so infatuated with him right now it's like I'm in love. Can't stop thinking about this song all day long.

Meredith Monk

I just recently discovered this American composer, performer, director, vocalist, film-maker, and choreographer by chance. And besides the fact that I had smoked a little bit beforehand... she astounded me. It happens quite often though, I must say, like once I was staying up late and accidently watched a documentary on Jessye Norman and I felt the same.

Meredith is so utterly unique and working with the space of sound in dimensions that are abnormal. Her singing technique is wonderful. I don't hear a single word when she sings, just the feeling and the emotion. She doesn't use lyrics. She's just wonderful. And I've just discovered her.. I've only listened to a few songs of hers.. but she's been going on since the 60s so there's a lot to look forward to. As well as her films!! :)
