Audrey Hepburn

On the eve before Audrey passed away, she read a favorite poem to her grandchildren entitled "Time tested Beauty Tips" by Sam Levenson. It's one of my favorites too. So I decided to post it.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed...
Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Bob Dylan says...

"Ah but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

Paul McCartney says...

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

Y al final, el amor que recibes es igual al amor que haces ;)

Realize this...

You CAN be yourself and STILL work on yourself at the same time!

As hard as it might be, Try to....

  • keep quiet when someone else is speaking.
  • wait your turn.
  • Share.
  • Don't talk with your mouth full.
  • Respect your elders.
  • Don't be a nag.
  • Stop whining.
  • Say you're sorry.
  • Look at people when they're talking to you.
  • Don't run with sharp objects.
  • Keep your voice down.
  • Be nice.
  • Say thank you.
  • Clean up your own messes.
  • Sit up straight.

Dating truths...

Dating truths I learned...

1.Chivalry is not dead -gentlemen still exist. If you haven't come across any, you're probably looking in all the wrong places. There are still guys who still believe they should be gentlemen but at the same token the woman should make sure to be a lady.

2.You've got to give props when props are due- When he opens the door for you, pulls out your chair etc. you must be appreciative and say thank you. Especially if you're the type to complain that chivalry is dead.

3.It's better when you take it offline. Facebook, Twitter and Myspace are a no go. Why have all your business across a facebook page? Wouldn't you prefer hearing eachother's voice on the good ol' telephone? It means more that you guys took the time out to call eachother and converse rather than some online nonsense.

Mae West says...

"A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up."

Ladies please....

Don't be loose, slutty, easy etc. You're ruining it for the rest of us. A woman who values herself and has high self-worth is not picking up a guy every weekend. How you handle your sexuality says a lot about who you are, your character, and your self-respect. You'll more than likely be judged, unfortunately, on how you handle this part of your life. Grab it by the horns and own it. If you don't put value on it, who will?

Keep in mind...

"Open your arms to change,
but don't let go of your values."
-Dalai Lama

Home smellin like burgers for a good cause!


I personally wouldn't want to indulge in the smell of white castle sliders unless an actual edible burger is at hand but hey, to each his own.

So these candles are $10 each but with a $25 purchase from the site you get a free car air freshner in case you want the burger smell to linger with you during your travels. Ugh, the thought gives me a headache.

They do look cute but I would have prefered a more appealing scent. Either way they're actually popular and currently sold out.
Anyway whatever you spend on these little guys goes to the Autism Speaks Charity.

If you're still interested go whitecastle.com
They have other stuff for purchase if you want that free car freshner. lol

Bono's swag is crazy in this performance. he's the man. I love this song. Gotta have this in the pod.

Beyoncé - Why Don't You Love Me (Official Music Video)

I could be wayyyyyyy off but something about the melody in the chorus makes me think of Mark Ronson's stuff. Particularly his joint with Daniel Merriweather "Stop Me". I love that song, remind me to post it.

Who comes up with this stuff?

I tend to cogitate on random things at any given moment. This happens to be one of those moments. So I was wondering, who decided that the act of clapping denotes acquiescence, acknowledgment, appreciation, or gratitude? Imagine if instead of a positive, clapping was a negative? Like we would clap everytime we were upset, frustrated, disappointed, in disagreement etc. The faster we would clap would show how angry we were. lol. try it. its kinda funny. lol
