BugzBlawg PSA

Today I am starting the initiative to bring awareness to something that is not adressed. Today I am declairing the first National Food Baby Awareness Day. Food babies are made, gestated (gestation may be anywhere between 5 minutes to 5 hours or more)born, flushed and sprayed away every day yet we give them no acknowledgment. Food babies save our lives every single day. They release toxins, possibly cures headaches(according to some old wise tales) and they may come the morning after you drink a combonation of screwdrivers, jolly ranchers and $1 PBR's. I Tylia Jones personally want to bring forward the attention Food Babies deserve. Today celebrate the Food Baby in us all. Name it, nurture it, flush it with love. Good day to all and to all a Good day.

Metal Karaoke!

I wish there was a karaoke strictky for metal music. Can you imagine drunken people giving their best metal screams into an amplified object? I can its not pretty, but I'm quite sure it'll be great clean fun for the family. My metal karaoke song of the day would have to be Otep's "Warhead". I saw Otep once while I was in high school. I can't remember which band they were opening up for, it was either Static X, Cold or Ill Nino, more than likely it was Ill Nino cause they used to come to the Norva like every other month. Ah the mems. Anyway's let's sing in chorus the glory that is "Warhead" INFIDEEEEEEEEEL!

Oh Yeah Happy Thanksgiving

So yeah today is thanksgiving and I am reporting to you from work, go me. Well its not that bad. I get off at 1 and I'm going over to the Garguilo's to eat, then going home and going back to sleep, so I can come back to work. This will be the first thanksgiving without Dad so its gonna be tough, hopefully there won't be any 'moments', im not in the mood, I just wanna eat. This year I was responsible for making the mac and cheese, I've litteraly been training for this for months, now all of my training will be put to the test, I hope it came out good, my blackness is at stake here. We all know t-giving is about spending time with loved ones and gorging yourself, but let's not forget about those who arent with their fams right now and are oversees fighting this war. I give them so much love and accolades cause I KNOW I'm not that brave, my heart goes out to them. So have fun today kids. As a bonus I picked this up from All Things Fresh its a thanksgiving song in the form of the song "Forever" from Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds morning show here you go enjoy!

Weighty Issues.

About two weeks ago I randomly decided to start going to the gym. I really dont know why, well I do, but I dont...I just felt like if I made it like a new year's resolution kind of thing it wouldnt happen. Before I explain my reason(s) on doing so first let's go down memory lane shall we?
I was always a big girl, I was never a skinny kid. I 'developed'(got boobies)very early, I think I was like 7 or something crazy like that. Most girls get training bras and I went straight to the real deal. When I lived in NY when I was younger all these older guys would hit on me, it was very creepy, but now I understand why. I was an 11 year old girl with a not so 11 year old body. When I was 12 and we moved to VA I started having to take steroids. The reason was because my ezcema got REALLY bad, I mean crying rolled up in a ball in the middle of the room scratching and bleeding and going to the ER bad. I dont know what steroids have to do with controlling ezcema but I guess it worked to an extent. Anyways because of me taking them I got to be a little more 'stocky' if you will.

Through high school I balloned to be almost 300 lbs in my senior year. Thing is my whole life I never FELT fat, I was pretty active I think for a time I was an african dancer and people were surprised by how agile I was, I was an energetic fat person, ha.


So then I went off to college and through those years I think I lost about 20 lbs. That being from walking around campus and being broke and barely eating :}

I think after school I kept losing weight a tiny tiny bit, dont know how much cause I never weigh myself, like why would you do that? So this summer as some of you know my pops passed away. I started medicating myself with food and alcohol and for really the first time in my life I FELT fat. My back was hurting I was tired all the time, I barely had any energy. Sure my job and the hours has something to do with that but I know my weight had a factor as well. So one day I just decided to go to the West Hampton Community Center and become a member so I can use the fitness room and that was at the beginning of this month. Its going on 3 weeks now and I try to go 3-4 days out of the week, I've cut out having a pint of Ben and Jerry's EVERYDAY and started eating Skinny Cow low fat ice cream samiches. Yesterday I didnt even have ice cream but that's because my bank account is super dismal like -$600 dismal, but that's another story. So far I dont know if I lost anything I doubt, I haven't weighed myself in a long time (note to self: weigh self in gym today) But to me its not just about losing weight its about feeling better, my back does not hurt as much, I find myself with a bit more energy and I actually look forward to going to the gym. In the end yeah I would like to lose some lbs but overall in my life I just want to feel better 2009 has been a sh!tty year to be quite honest and I just wanted to get a bit of headstart for a better 2010 and looking and feeling better is a part of it. The other part is finding a better or second job and improving my finances so I can do extracurricular things that I enjoy. Such as save up for DJ equipment so I can start these BIU parties I've been pondering and have extra money to contribute to the household and extra funds to travel to see friends. I dont ask for much in life I just have to go after it.
One Love ~the end~

Spin Magazine's Best 30 albums of '09 so far.

I stumbled upon this list and a percentage are to indie or hipster for my taste, some I've never even heard of, and some albums aren't even on there, I do think that is it worth a look through if your trying to find something different. I personally think they could have added Kid Cudi's "Man on the Moon:The End of Day" and Major Lazer's debut but they do have Bat for Lashes, Yeah Yeah Yeah, Peter Bjorn and John among many others. I even downloaded an mp3 from a band I never heard but kind of liked the song Dirty Projectors "Stillness is the Move". Anyways its worth a 'Spin' haha im so witty. Check it out here

The Ed Hardy Boyz: The Case of the Missing Sick Belt Buckle from Jon Daly

I personally think Nick Kroll is hilar, the characters he creates and the way he executes them is top notch in my opinion. Fabrice Fabrice and now his new one Bobby Bottleservice who stars in this clip by the name of "Ed Hardy Boys" of course a play off of "The Hardy Boys" Nick is starring alongside Paul Scheer of Human Giant and Best Week Ever fame in a new show called "The League" I dont know if it started yet cause I know nothing about primetime television thanks to my work sched.

Pic of the day

So Lady Gaga was on 106&Park yesterday, the countdown video on show on BET. I went searching for it myself and as I predicted it was pretty awkward, but every interview on 106&park is awkward. Anyways I found the footage on the OhNoTheyDidnt community on LiveJournal (havent been on there in YEARS!) and in the comments section the picture above was posted, I just thought it was funny, ha.

Hey.

Well hello there, remember me? Yeah its been a while, but I really have nothing to blog about, and if I do it will be border line emo, and who needs that? So its november now, man the year goes by fast. This is my first full year out of school and it just goes by really fast. Like seasons are just seasons, holidays are just another day, it kind of sucks actually. I can litteraly feel youth slip away and me no likey. This past weekend was Halloween. How many times does Halloween fall on a weekend? Not a lot actually like twice a decade i think. So becuz it falls on a weekend this is when your supposed to go all out and crazy. That is unless your me. ON friday I went out to the wave in my costume as a NUN for the 3rd year in a row. I thought it was going to be epic, turned out to be eh-pic(ha). When I got there it was fun, the dj was playing some good stuff then they switched dj's on me. This dj played club remixes of EVERYTHING, he played club mixes of club mixes, hated it. Then I hung out with my friend but I had to kind of hang with her friends. Are you ever in a situation when you love your friend but you just dont mesh with her friends? Yeah that's another post. Then on the actual day of halloween, I went to bed bath and beyond. That was actually quite fun, which is scary.
