No Dreads

So, today was One Music Fest. I was excited to go for a number of reasons. Sadly, one of the reasons was because it was where I met dreads last year, and I was hoping to see him again. He was an old school hip hop fan, and MC Lite was going to be there.
Long story short, I did not see him there, but that doesn't mean I didn't look. And that was a tall task! Every other guy was tall and skinny with dreads! I had a thousand false alarms. I remember that last year he snuck in, and that was not happening this year, not with all the security and cops.
Luckily, some of the press homies were in the press area and I spent a great deal of the time talking to them. Oddly enough, a web editor with dreads talked to me most of the time. No love connection, he has a baby on the way. But he was older and cool to talk to to.
However, there was a guy there that was a cutie. He gave me his business card. I am going to pretend to care about his life to get him to my house, lol, I will tell you how that goes. He was funny, keeping me entertained with stories about his "self dates" watching Netflix. Good times.

Marsha!

Marsha Abrosius was at One Music Fest today! Ah! I am such a fan, the way she makes her voice go up and down and around and such. Santigold was there as well, but she moves too much on stage to get a good pic. She was awesome though!

Tortilla's Dinner Shindig

Tortilla's homemade cookie, cake, and ice cream goodness

You probably are completely unable to tell, but Tortilla is a wee bit younger than I. So, when I went to NYC, she threw a dinner shindig and invited some girls from the college class below me, and it was cool to hang with them, they are the sweetest ladies! I also got to see Buckley, from my class, who is just a sweet petite if I've seen one. She can be cute without trying, which makes you want to hate her, but you can't! She's too nice! Good food and friends, good times in New York:)





A Bad Case of the Unaskedfors

Of late, people have been giving me unasked for dietary advice. Even more so than usual, and it is getting on my nerves. As I was going to go pay my rent, a woman cornered me at the rent office to tell me about how I remind her of herself before she got her gastric. It worked! Her husband left her in the process, but she feels great. Eye roll. Get out of my face lady so I can get my rent receipt!
Then, at my job, my boss asked me what vegetables I eat and a co-worker accused me of lying about it. THE NERVE! After the pains I have gone through to incorporate more veggies into my diet!
I was also recently in a situation where I was around people having a convo about veganism, and they were talking all weird and loud as if trying to unconsciously try to enforce their convo on me.
I wish I could go back in time and undo whatever I did at whatever time that makes people feel like they can try me whenever they want and its all good.

My brothers and me at a Pizza Hut. Any time is a good time for a picture:)

Blood Pressure

The other day I went to the emergency room because I thought I might be having a heart attack because my arms were hurting. I wasnt, but come to find out, my blood pressure was HELLA high. I mean, high! So, they took my blood and  listened to my heart and all is good. But I do have to go on meds, sigh. I took my first one today, and I keep expecting to feel something or for something to happen. I don't know why I am acting brand new, my whole family has been on blood pressure meds at one point or another. It's just weird.

Estelle Shoot Behind the Scenes

I would say that the Estelle shoot was the funnest shoot that I have done thus far. She is funny and so is her glam squad. There were a lot of pictures, a lot of food, and a lot of dancing, gotta love it!
