I Need Some Coffee Loving...

I never thought I’d say this, but I am really loving coffee these days. I just started drinking it randomly a while back and now I probably have a cup every morning. I even find myself craving the taste when I wake up and now I have a cup pretty much every morning.

 I guess you could say my coffee habit was inevitable considering my mother has one of those super easy to use kettle thing. Since it's is so simple, I haven’t had to learn how to make coffee the traditional way. I just buy the little coffee cans, pop some in my cute little Disney mugs and voila—I have a deliciously yummy cup of hot coffee. I like French Vanilla coffee mix that you can buy from Tim hortens or I like nestle coffee powder with some French vanilla flavoured syrup and a splash of milk.

When I’m craving something a little sweeter I use almond milk since it definitely gives it a nice warm nutty flavor. I also add in some sugar too, which add a tad of sweetness as well. But if I'm making the coffee then I make it pretty darn strong. I really like the almond milk and FV syrup combination because it makes me feel like I’m drinking a super sugary, Starbucks-like drink that’s actually a lot more healthier than it tastes. Recently, I’ve dabbled into iced coffee when I’m out and about with friends, but I’m still not hooked on them yet. Usually I only drink them when my friends get one… Maybe it will catch on soon? Do you drink iced coffee? If so, any suggestions for me?

I used to live Timmies Iced caps and now I prefer the Regular McDonalds Iced Coffee's!

Random Thoughts: Stress?

I think that everyone deals with stress differently. Some people like to address the problems that are stressing them out head on and others prefer to just take their mind off things and hope that the stress fizzles out. I’m definitely in the second category; I’m more of a stress-avoider. When I’m really stressed out I like to just escape it by doing enjoyable activities like reading a book or watching a movie. Just anything that will help me take my mind off of whatever’s making me stressed. If it’s something I’m really dreading and getting nervous about, I find it’s easier sometimes to just go to bed early and sleep it off. A lot of people like to confront whatever’s stressing them out head on and just get over it, but I deal with things better if I just take a deep breath and decide to take my mind off of things. A stress escape artist, if you will.

I want to take more pictures...

I realized that I don't really post pictures as much as I used to, I want to start again. I wanted this blog to be flippin fun because it was going to be all me all the time. Whatever I like, dislike, thangs like deyaat!! ;)


But I miss taking pictures which I used to do when I first started this blog and I'm doing again now (thanks to tumblr)


So hopefully, between, my camera and webcam, I can keep y'all posted with silly little pics of me. I really find them fun and I dont mean to be conceited by always posting pics of myself. I'll post pictures of whatever, I won't always be of me.


I just enjoy going back page after page and remembering. I really encourage other people to start blogs, REAL BLOGS. I love tumblr, and its fun but its all reblogging mostly. On an actual blog, its YOUR posts all the time. Its like looking back at a diary.


:) Its fun and people start to understand you better, especially when you feel misunderstood.

Listen up!

First of all, giving Michael Jackson the respect he deserves for influencing
music, culture, and humanitarian work is not a slap in the face to all other
world events. To those who believe they possess only a limited attention span,
and can only deal with one issue at a time, and only have room in their minds
and hearts to serve a particular segment of the world, I am sorry you have no
mental or spirtual range.


I am sorry you do not posssess the ability to wholistically understand how he
revolutionized dance, how he broke racial barriers, how he changed American
culture, and how he assisted thousands by donating hours of his time to charity,
giving away over 300 million dollars, and creating his own charitable
foundation. (And ironically, Michael Jackson would agree that the loss of
civilian life is a great tragedy. And more so, he would actually try to help).


I’m sorry you do not appreciate his fantastic voice. Which has a range of 3 to 4
octaves. Which is so distinct and so difficult to emulate. It is so logical. He
couldn’t sing, he could only dance, which is why so many people bought his
albums. To do what? Oh right…to listen to his VOICE. If you believe he is not
a great singer, than you are in denial.

Michael Jackson himself, respected the greats. He respected James Brown,
Astaire, Gene Kelly, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Elvis, Frank Sinatra. A true
artist understands giants who walked before him, who paved his way. But to not
give Michael his due, is to be ignorant. And THAT is a disservice to reality.


You do not have to like his music. But you have to respect his talent. You do
not have to like his personal life, but you have no right to label a man a
pedophile when he has been cleared of all charges. A true test of someone’s
intellience is the amount of work they do investigating and analyzing the
stories put before them, before making ridiculous judgements. Read the court
transcripts, look up the police evidence, understand the background of the
accusers, and realize that the cases against him had more holes in them than
swiss cheese. Actually think for yourself since you claim to be so
intellectually superior than those mourning Jackson.


As for redefining the defintition of genius, you are right, it needs to be
redefined. Because Michael has set the bar higher than anyone in the music world
could imagine. Find me anyone in this profession who can sing like he did, dance
like he did, write, choreograph, produce, and direct at a level of complete
perfection like he could. He now walks with fellow giants.


♫♪ An appreciation of  Michael Jackson ❤

My name is Sharlene and I'm a MJaholic.

 

Heres Why I know I'm obsessed:

• I know every hee-hee and every pow and shamone’s in every song.
• I basically only have Twitter/Facebook to promote Michael Jackson
• I know which album every song comes from, what year it came out, the awards it’s won and EVERY WORD of the songs
• I fell into a trance, listening to Planet Earth

•  I preach to others about the wonderfulness of MJ. even if they're strangers.
• my friend stubs her toe, shrieking OWWW. I always add the “hee-hee” before I ask her if she’s okay.
• I will randomly moonwalk around the house, in public .. pretty much anywhere.
• I have tripped or fallen over something while moonwalking.
• I scoff at the MJ imitators because I know there can never be the same angel again.
• I've listened to EVERY album at least a million times
• I spaz on anyone who says anything negative about him, then launch into a gigantic rant with EVERY FACT that ever existed.

• I sometimes try and force my friends to become obsessed with Michael Jackson
• Instead of writing History, I write HIStory.
• I can’t really listen to anyone else because it just sounds worse
• I Try to sneak him into every conversation topic I'm having with someone
• I know what IJCSLY stands for
• I Went into a sorta semi-depression when he died
• I know millions of inside jokes that only MJ and the fans would know. ex: pond, black flappin, fish. (LOL)

these are only SOME POINTS I might be continuing this when I log back on blogspot. lol I'll also be making one for ms. Jackson if you're nasty! lol

*RANT ALERT*

OK, so I find it really annoying that people are being sooo transparent.. almost everyone i've ever known thought i was weird for being an MJ fan (back in like 2004-ish). Still, almost everyone respected the fact that I wasnt afraid to be myself. Yet, there were a few people that I could just not help. I ended up winning most people over on the whol "MJ is a legend and a musical prophecy" bit, but some people were really hard to even talk to cuz they hated MJ so much.


Its funny that those few people in the world that hate him dont even know him. ok ok, I know that sounds sooooooo... lame. But honestly, those people never take the time out to research about him or watch interviews because they spend their time "Hating" him.. so all they think is that "this man is weird and he acts weird and everyone else thinks hes weird because he's pedo, so I'm going to think that way too" ...


Seriously .. get your head out of your ASS! I'm not trying to change those people, I just want them to see how hypocritical they're being. I know that every MJ hater is a person... and people feel. i bet those people would HATE it if they were accused of being something their not. Especially since these people like to use most of their energy verbally abusing MJ fans (when their around eachother) ... I know that if I was to spead a rumor about that person and say that they were a "slut" or like... had a serious disease, They would not find that funny... IN FACT, they would argue that forever and make me try to believe that they were innocent...
and this is what MJ tries to do ... but the MJ haters are being dicks.


I knew 2 people in highschool that were in my guitar class (you can tell they have no musical ability since theyre dissing the man who re-created music and broke barriers for many artists and bands) HATED mj so much... they used to always say "hes a pedo, watch out you might be next" etc, etc. funny thing... on nexopia.com .. I was recieved a couple of "friend updates" a week after MJ died and the updates inculded these boys new blog post titled "RIP MICHAEL JACKSON" and i was stunned. It went on .."... you were an amazing artist and I will always be your fan" .... (I'm slowly shaking my head as I type this)






Basically ... if you dislike mj thats fine but dont be so brainless that you NEED the media to think for you.
OH, and dont randomly BITCH and argue to me... Cuz I'll rip you a new asshole.




thank you :)
