10 things I love that you may not

Tampico
Tampico:
That distinct mixture of cheap orange drink flavor and hella sugar that only a hood kid would love. Try it some times, it is really good

My daughter's stinky toes:
I don't know how a person so little could have toe jam so serious but I pick her little stubby toes clean everyday and I enjoy it

The smell of a banana peel:
I really enjoy the scent of a just eaten banana peel just laying around my room. It is so delicious smelling

An old school blackberry:
You know the one, the big square one with the scroll on the side. Dang I wish those were back in style. Maybe I can resurrect them... nah nevermind I have an iPhone and if you don't have an iPhone... well you know the rest. 

Patterns:
My closet holds an abundance of pastel colored flower shirts. My roommate says that I dress like an old lady but I think the style is more earthy and calming

Firm over soft:
A brand new firm pillow I would squeeze and love to death. I would take a firm couch over a feather bed tempurpedic any day, it's just the support and stability that is so comforting

Old cartoons:
Tom and Jerry, Popeye the sailor man. Watching old cartoons now that I am an adult shows me how talented writers were. A true testament of creativity and comedy

Big hair:
Maybe I should be living in Texas because big hair is so adorable to me. I've never liked the straight wrap, I needs me some fluff, body and bounce baby

No name brand apparel:
Who wants to look like everyone else... NOT ME! I like the beauty and individuality of no name brand clothes and shoes. Plus they are cheaper and a good deal aint never hurt my pockets

Travel size soaps:
You know those small bars of soap that you get from the Dollar Tree? Oh. You don't shop at the Dollar Tree? Well, whatever. I prefer small bars of soaps over regular size mainly because I dislike bar soaps and the fact that they hold the dirt so the smaller they are, the faster they and all the dirt on my body disintegrate

Surprisingly enough you only lost me on #6 lol! I LOVE to pick Amari's to jam as well and his feet are straight stink bombs for some reason. I think it's because I KEEP socks on his feet due to the cold weather. I've heard a lot of parents saying their baby's feet stink as well so we're not alone lol! Tampico is basically kool aid and we all LOVED the sugar so I feel you! I've come to LOVE big hair because of you, so as I go natural that's all you'll see me with. Who knew we had SOOOO much in common lol! Oh yeah, Tom and Jerry, Flinstones and Jetsons are THEE bomb!!!

Mal hardly ever wears socks but her toes still be banging. And I didn't know you were going natural. Nice.

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This...

No turning back now

This one friend of mine is in some deep shit. 1. He's in jail. 2. He's in jail because he was speeding on a stolen motorcycle. 3. His mother is a laywer and she is so pissed at him that she won't get him out. 4.5.6.7.8... 9. He is a pretty boy Kappa, which has turned him into a womanizer. But the number one reason why he is in some deep shit is because 10. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail, email and facebook. Ok let me break down that last sentence. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail , email and facebook . Isn't that against the player handbook? If you have a main girl that means you have other girls... so why? The passcode to your voicemail... the voicemail that all the girls are leaving messages on because they heard you were in jail. The passcode to your facebook... the place where you do ALL of your dirt. I mean come on, how stupid can one man be? His excuse was that he didn't have anything to hide from her and ...

A side of Baby Mama, hold the drama

Just a few years ago, I would cringe at the term "baby mama," Today, I embrace it. It is what it is and I am who I am.  You have to live your life and roll with the punches. I never thought I'd be a baby mama. I'm more of the wife, fiance, girlfriend type. Or so I thought. Life is just not the fairy tale you dream it to be when you are eight years old in your big cousin's tiara and your mother's high heels. I wish I could go back. I would say "self," my self would say "huh." And then I would lay it on thick... "Little Aerial, these boys only want one thing and one thing only. Your heart! So they can break it." Can I get an Amen? "Protect yourself little Aerial. Protect your cookies. Protect your heart. Or else be the best baby mama you can humanly be, like me." I love my baby. Love her to the death. Do you hear me? I am with her every single day! She needs for nothing. And once she start to talk, she wi...
