Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breath in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.

THERE’S SO MUCH GOD DAMN SPINACH in this shit even Popeye can’t hate. Yeah spinach makes you swoll as fuck, we know that. But did you know just one cup of spinach is over 300% of your daily recommended Vitamin A? Sweet fuck. You worried about acne? Wrinkles? Any other skin shit? Spinach to the mother fucking rescue. That shit keeps your skin looking so fresh and so clean, not to mention helping to prevent skin cancer. Spinach has these plant-based compounds called “flavonoids” that not only repair damaged skin but also fight multiple types of cancer. Everybody knows I ain’t even fucking playing when it comes to dick cancer, I gotta have my shit in tact.

IF YOU SMOKE cigarettes (tumblr crew I’m looking at you), DO NOT take any Vitamin A or beta carotene supplements. Studies have shown that combining those supplements with tobacco drastically increases your risk for lung cancer. But then again, smoking drastically increases your risk for lung cancer. So quit that shit.

You want to make this shit at home and tell Jamba Juice they can go fuck themselves by not paying for their high calorie sugary shit? Recipe below for a Thug Kitchen Original:

SPINACH COOLER Ectoplasm free and Dr. Venkman approved

2 handfuls of spinach (about 2 cups)

2 frozen bananas

1 cup chopped and skinned cucumber

4 medium chunks of pineapple

1 cup coconut water or tap

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon flax oil (optional)

6-8 mint leaves (optional, but I dig that shit)

yields ~20 ounces

Toss that shit in a blender and zap it. If you prefer it a little sweeter, add some more pineapple to that shit. DRINK UP, CHAMP.

Seriously though, fuck Jamba Juice. Only they could make smoothies as unhealthy as McDonald’s made oatmeal.

friday night

so im sitting home alone since T is off doing a gig and here i am...... doing absolutely nothing which is fine because i should be use to it by now. after all he usually works every weekend night. maybe its all the stress from school since next week is finals week. dear god. and i usually study and all friday nights. but damn does it suck not being included in things. i.e. i ask my sisters bf if he ate because i haven't and my sister works late so i was thinking we could all split something, whatever something. of course they have plans with another couple which is totally fine but they didn't know T even had work tonight and of course we weren't invited... i feel like i consistently invite people or couples whatever out and i get that "idk i have to ask my significant other if we can because we run everything by each other" shit. i almost cried because here is poor pathetic me trying and i get let down and it was truly a moment of weakness. i never get like that. maybe its a good thing idk but it sucks. this is why i hate stress..

i'm participating in the color run tomorrow. rad right?! uhm no :( i tried running last weekend within 6 minutes my ankle was shooting up pains into my calve and then it ended up swelling and bruised... really a four year old injury is hating me right now! so im going to die tomorrow. you'll find me in a ditch wearing a white shirt still because i hadnt made it to 1k yet. so this could be my last post... not like i post anyway. hmm, if i make it through tomorrow i'll commit to this. (ha! who am i kidding, i can't commit to anything.. lie. i'm faithfully committed to T) 

im going to watch this redbox that i rented and cry since it's perks of a wallflower (even though i saw it twice in movies and maybe two.. i could be lying it might be more when it came out on redbox) and eat all the junk that i bought at walgreens because i couldn't resist... wait, i bought cashews those are healthy right?!

p.s. since when did tumblr get stupid ads?!

i want to travel the world with you. i want us to make a home. i want your hug at the end of the day. i want the one text message you send during the day that keeps me sane. i want to just hear your breathe on the other end of the line to keep me calm. i want our financial trouble to disappear. i want you to have the world. i want to understand why you love playing video games so much. i want you to understand why i need to capture the world and day-to-day regulars. i want to squeeze all the stress from the day away from you. i want you to succeed and follow all your dreams. i want to follow you where ever your heart leads you to. i want to cook you dinner because you made breakfast. i want us to fold laundry together. i want me to tend to the garden while you mow the lawn. i want us. i want all of you.
