So I am in Miami for The American Black Film Festival, and I got to interview Boris Kodjoe. Man, he is gorgeous and pretty funny and gorgeous, lol.

Baby Legs

If you didn't know, I am a documentary buff. But I rarely watch fun, feel-good docs. I only watch the ones that will freak me out more about life. One doc that I watched was The Corporation which was really informative. It touched on literally everything, and discussed the drugs that are put in beef that supposedly increased production. I don't eat beef anyway, but the whole thing got me to thinking about chicken. Earlier this month, I went to my neighborhood Kroger to buy my usual package of chicken legs and screamed! The legs were so fat and heavy that they looked like legs from a human baby! Every package of chicken was like this. And being the stupid consumer, I bought a pack, but didn't eat any. I kept imagining human babies on a farm being fed chicken feed and being sent to slotter. I am a fatty: a self-admitted junk food junkie. But I am beginning to feel my attitude toward food changing.

Health Nuts

So, I want to start eating better. My diet is something that is always on my mind, but I kind of feel hopeless about it. I have tried raw food, and it sucked. And I just love chicken too much to be a vegetarian. But yesterday, I watched the documentary Food Matters on Netflix, and they talked about super foods and the body's ability to heal itself and the need to take vitamins. It all made a lot of sense. One dude that they interviewed said that he put his brother on a raw food diet, making him drink two liters of water when he first woke up then a raw diet of super foods, and he began to have at least 15 bow movements a day! Now, I know that that sounds gross and extreme, but in one day, he lost 15 pounds which was essentially crap that had been chillin in his body. I thought that that was amazing, but I know me and the attitude I get when I am hungry. I can only imagine what a jewel I would be after 20 poops and a diet of Acai berries. None the less, I think this is something I want to try. I shall keep you posted.

No Sleep

I have not been able to sleep lately. Now that I have been promoted, there is so much that needs to be done and these things go over and over in my mind like a reel! On top of that, it is time for my annual pilgrimage to the holy land: Miami. I am excited to get my interviews in and a few good swims. And because I am excited, I can not sleep, lol. The other day, I woke up at 3am and started packing and cleaning my room, something I had been meaning to do for weeks! After a consistently interrupted three hours of sleep, I woke up hella weirded out that there was luggage at my door and my room was spotless, lol. Ha! I hella just dozed off while I was typing, lol. I need a nap.

Promoted!

Last week has been a wee bit hectic. I got promoted to Editor-In-Chief of the magazine that I work for and had to go have a meeting with my publisher. I am SUPER stoked, beyond excited. I have so many ideas that I am ready to put in place. Plus, am living out my dream. I have been on cloud 10!

Childish Gambino - Heartbeat

So I had no idea that Childish Gambino was a real singer. I saw this
video pop up while watching Youtube, saw this dude in it, recognized him
as the  guy from Community, and thought it was a spoof or something. But I really
like this song.
