Cowboy Be-bop Boots! and Dr. Oz

With the chance of new things happening, adventures ahead and craziness altogether; I was able to get some good shoes for that "new promise" look. Awesomely enough I was able to get two pairs of shoes: a pair of boots and a pair of Airwalk boot style sneakers (don't really know what to call them). They were on sale at a local Manhattan Payless Shoe Store and I figured why not? As you can see, the boots have this Bob Dylan thing going on. If you replace the belt buckle on the side with one of those old school cowboy star things I swear it would be a total throwback to the Twilight Zone but enough of that....
The other pair of shoes are awesome because of the good graphics on the whole entire fabric of the shoe. For those of you gals who are into good graphic shoes I recommend these with some good fishnet stockings, a skirt or something quite rocking to show those crazy graphics out. Buying these two pairs of shoes made me think of an episode on the Dr. Oz show about high heels. It is an interesting thing to think about something so simple as shoes affect your health. Dr. Oz is a show hosted by a doctor who gives recommendations that are natural to its best in helping people avoid medical risks. In the segment I am referring to, Dr. Oz talks about the fact that wearing high heels 4 inches and above affect not only your gait but can cause other medical risks of having knee joint problems and spine alignment issues. Sure high heels define those legs but at the same time: is it worth it? Dr. Oz is a very good show for "adult" problems I am sure younger people than the audience who goes to the show share similar/same health problems/risks. I recommend to watch it because you will be surprised with the small things that matter a lot to your health. If you are interested in watching more on what he has to say about high heels click here

New Year's Good News?

Hey guys, HAPPY NEW YEARS! I am sorry, I have been MIA (missing in action). I have been dealing with some life drama-rama's (I am sure you have your deal too). Anyways! This new year I have decided that part of my resolution is: to write more STUFF! Yes, more stuff! And I know your question would be what must this STUFF consist of? Well, when I started this blog I wanted to talk about "weird" fashion  and other oddball things. So I am going to continue a bit of that goal with a new twist. Now, the twist is a total surprise that all of you readers must figure out on your own as you continue to read, skim, or whatever you do with each blog post I broadcast. (What type of surprise would it be if it wasn't?! cheaaaaa)....In other related news, one of you asked me, or rather, recommended that I write more on theology/Christianity and I have decided to write TWO spankin' new blogs! YES! One on philosophy and another on Christianity/theology (something of the sort). I will be posting news on that later. As for today: may 2011 be a fucking AWESOME experience! love ya

BarHopping in NYC: Not That Easy

Google image: an nyc bar

Hey guys,
I know I haven't been posting that much. I give you my great apologies. I have been busy with school exams and doing things on the other side. Lately, I had just started bar hopping here in New York. So far, I have found bars in 3 boroughs already. But it wasn't easy. I came up with tips for those who are interested in barhopping:

1. Don't Over pack
Make sure to have the essentials, whether you are a female or a male. You want to make sure you look casual and "free," and you don't have a bunch of things going on that will attract attention away from you. Oh and make sure to have your state or regional ID, because you never know which bar cards people.
2. Digits are your best friend 
Have your number written in pieces of paper in your handy dandy pocket (i.e coat, pants, maybe dress) or purse. In this case, it would be efficient to have a working cell phone, so you wouldn't have to deal with that. Make sure that when you acquire numbers, you DO NOT forget to type their name. If you have to ask again, please do so, that way you avoid the awkward "hey,.........you...with that...awesome ...name"
3. Plan Ahead of Time
If you are going to be barhopping, plan a route to take with your friends, (if you do go with friends) so that you don't just randomly walk or drive around wasting time on what is the next bar. Agree on which bars to go next, so no arguments ensue. Also, make sure to figure out what to take whether it is driving or taking public transportation.

4. Directions is A Must key
Unless you like wasting 2 hours finding a bar that is open which will probably be closed and then being lost, I strongly suggest to Google map the bars you are going to attend. Because nothing sucks more in barhopping than to have visited only one and be stuck walking around lost at a dangerous hour where creeps come out.
5. Don't Over stress it.
Be yourself. Don't think in your head all the time that no one is ever going to approach you. There are many types of people out there who go to bars to relax and have a good time. So why stress it, just have fun.
6. Safety isn't just back up
At the same time be sure to not put yourself in danger like walking alone in streets you know are empty or isn't part of a really nice neighborhood. Girls, if you don't know how to fight always have a mace spray with you. Believe it or not, your cell phone or pen, can be your weapon. If someone were to grab you from behind you can jab them with a pen from behind, step on their foot and hit them in the solar plexus. Make sure to run through with your friends of what you are going to do in case one of you decides to leave the group. DO NOT GET IN CARS WITH PEOPLE YOU JUST MET unless you know what you are getting into. There are consequences for everything and the one being responsible of you is you.
7. Don't over dress it.
It is easy to go from one extreme to another. Obviously, if you are barhopping you will be sweaty from dancing (unless you don't dance). So dress in something that isn't so tight fitting. Make sure you can move. At the same time, don't be a slob. As much as you can be yourself, there are those nice nifty first impressions people get from you. (i.e if you are a girl and you dress skimpy people will think you are easy or if you are a guy and you dress with some really tight skinny jeans, people will think something's going on..you know what I mean). So avoid those two extremes.
8.Drink Responsibly

You really think, I wouldn't mention this? Of course, I would! See, I personally don't care if you are underage or of age and you are drinking. That is your choice. But if you really want to avoid getting in a situation where you wake up and you don't know where the heck you are, drink responsibly. If you are driving: please practice being the designated driver (if you don't know what it is Google it). If you want to drink make sure to eat something in between every whole beer or alcoholic drinks you take. And wait at least 2 hours for your liver to digest the alcohol intake. If anything, make sure to have someone's number who lives closeby who is also a driver and doesn't really like drinking. Trust me those people will come in handy and you want to avoid having a record in a police precinct.
9. Have Fun
You know very well the reason why you are barhopping.....BECAUSE IT IS FUN. Please do not tag along a group of people you don't like. Make sure to leave those cat fights for another day when you aren't wearing your best clothes and you have vasoline in handy. This night is to enjoy. So, please, make fun as your main reason and let the rest come after. Because it sure the hell sucks when you go to a club just to get laid and find yourself with an unwanted baby,abortion, and a whole lot of drama.

Live Long and Prosper

"I Don't Want to Grow Up, I am a Toys-R-Us Kid" (rant/discussion)

It's 2:00 AM and my friends and I are driving around trying to find a place to have the affordable price on our favorite toys. One got a NERF gun, another got a miniature teddy bear, and I got.....a barbie fairy. Yes, a Barbie Fairy. We all opened our packages with great enthusiasm and agreed that it was the best night, so far, of our lives. We discussed our childhood memories and agreed that our parents never understood our toys being as more than distractions. (Don't worry I won't be pulling up a big Freud post here). It made me think: "Why do we have to give up toys just because we are told that we are "too old"? Why? They are just toys, things we feel or felt, connected to our imagination. Originally, on holidays, toys become the perfect gift for children because they know later on, it would benefit them in the long run: the children whine less and irritate less. However, there is also the aspect of the toys helping to bring out the creativity of children. Most of the time it becomes a mode of inspiration to draw and make concepts like imaginary friends, or invent different games. As years go by, more things are given to them and the toys they played with before might end up being rejected by the same parents who bought them. The child would feel torn in thought of whether to ditch this toy or keep it. And so the parent would make the decision to ditch the toys or "pressure" (I use the term loosely here) the child to lose this toy/(s). Looking at this: Did you ever have a toy you loved so much and your parents ended up telling you to give it away or throw it away because you are "too old" for them? Ever wonder what happened to them if you don't have them now? Did you ever wished you wanted the toys being advertised on your favorite channel or before your favorite cartoon show (if you have one)? Did you ever tried to look for a specific toy and didn't find it anywhere? Thinking of it, yes we are older, but you know what: I still love Spice Girls, I still love dolls with fashionable clothes, I still love Legos, I still love toys! So why should I give up my toys just because I am "growing up." Like my grandpa always says: "I never gave up my inner child." So I won't give up mine. You are never too old to express your inner kid! It is damn friggin okay. It is your life and the only person entitled to keep or have what you want is you, no one else.So go ahead and buy that toy you want (if you can).
