X marks the spot....

Soooo when I first saw this X marks the spot thingy I thought about Xavier & I knew that wasn't right so lets just focus on the important blog underneath & come back to this later :)

Track Review.....

Now, honestly it took me awhile to do this blog because this song/artist I picked fits the stereotype of every black female on the south side of Chicago. But when I actually sat down & thought about the situation, I like what I like & that's all that matters. So I picked Trey Songz & his new album "Pain & Pleasure"& I specifically picked the song "Made to be Together".Now I picked Mr. Songz & this song (haha) not because he's attractive & talented but because the song speaks to my heart. I'm a lovey dovey, find your self within kind of person & this song hit the spot. I love love love a man who isn't afraid of his feelings & isn't ashamed to express them openly. Trey Songz fits that perfectly in this song, he says what every man is afraid to say when the love of his life leaves him....so I hope you enjoy! :)

Ultimate Recipe....

Sooo I'm super duper (yep I said Super Duper) late on this blog but late is better than never right? Righttt. So, THEE ultimate recipe....well I have about twenty...but there is one that stands out like no other. My mom makes these fried rib tips, which I thought everyone knew about but obviously not. Everytime I bring them up or show them to someone I get the "We just got a new black president face" sooooo here is the recipe up to my knowing....

Flour
Corn Oil
Stove
Cut Rib Tips
Seasoning Salt
Garlic Powder
Accent

Heat up grease for about 10 minutes (I think)
Roll Rib Tips in flour & seasoning salt mix untill fully coated
Drop them in & turn them over frequently
Take out when golden brown
Let them cool down & enjoy :)

If someone tries this I will be extremly happy, comment & tell me how it goes. If you want to try it & dont trust my instructions/ingredients (I dont blame you) just ask me & I'll ask my mom & get back to you asap :)

Good Food Review

    So at first I didn't really have many plans for this blog. But, after the choir concert on friday my mom's friend took us to this restaurant called Salerno's Pizza. I have to say that they have the best pizza you ever want/can/will eat. The service was great & they gave the three of us free desserts. I can honestly say my tiramusu wasn't that great but the pizza made up for us. The best part os that it's right around the corner from school! You get like six small squares of pizza for about $5 which is kind of sad because it's so good but you just have to savor what you have. It took quite a while to get the pizza but I can see why because the pizza is so good. They have a variety of italian foods and the prices are high but I bet as soon as you taste the food it's all worth it. We got the thin crust sausage pizza & its an extra five dollars for each topping, they have good parking & very friendly nice people I think everyone should check this restaurant out, you won't regret it :)

King still King???

"Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African American civil rights movement. He is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King is often presented as a heroic leader in the history of modern American liberalism." (Wikipedia)

   So I can say that for the most part all of that above me is true. Dr. King WAS all of that but what is he now? Is still the influential leader who we look up to & respect? Well, I think that we still respect him but when someone brings up the name Dr. King it's much more different than it was years and years ago. Dr. King will always be the man & he will always be one of the most influential men in African American history but he, his voice, and his ideas aren't as powerful as they once were. I actually asked a couple of people to test this theory of mine & the results pretty much proved me right. Some said that he wasn't as invigorating anymore because the times have changed too much, and others because we have a new African American man to look up to (President Barack Obama). Nevertheless King isn't still King and it's up to us as a people to now let him fade away. Some feel like Dr. King was overrated, they feel like other influential people were overshadowed my Dr. King. Some even feel that he doesn't deserve the holiday we get a day off of school & work for. Now I'm not going to lie, I thought about him on MLK day but not as much as I should have & I'm positive I'm not the only one. When Black History month rolls around, we vaguely even have an acknowledgement at my school so you know he isn't celebrated then. I feel that Dr. King and his work/teachings were strongly taught and stressed in elementary school but when we arrived to high school it's brushed off a tad bit. We need to change this, not only for our future generation's sake but for Dr. King. He was way too much of a good man to just fade away into the cardboard box of history, and not only him, all influential people. They always say...”There is no future without the past."

I'm a Shoe

I have no idea what to put for this blog.
But anyway, yea.

I'm a shoe, I'm just a shoe.
I'm a shoe you can never ever take off, I'm a shoe & it's my world, you just live in it.
I'm a Jordan

I control you, I control your mind. You have to have me in order to feel complete, you will do whatever and pay whatever to get me. You have to have me, I control your life. You strive to collect my whole family. In ten years you another shoe will control your life and you will forget all about me. So, why am I so powerful?
