The People's Champs!!

Ahhh Yes.  I'm still smiling a little from last night :-)  Dodgers V. Pirates - guess who won? ??  If you stayed up to watch the game or happened to be a lucky fan with a ticket to the game, you know who (or if you know me) ummm... LA Dodgers!! The Comeback Kids did it again - for the 37th time!!  In the 9th inning Kemp did what he does and tied it up 3-3.  The Pirates fought back for a few more innings, even getting another run.  BUT we have Andre Ethier who just happens to be Mr. Humble, Mr. Centered, Mr. Walk Off as Dodgers.com called him.  Either helped pull LA out of a 3-4 potential loss in the 13th inning hitting a Home Run w/ a man on base - Dodgers win it 5-4! 

Paul Wall threw out a Pitch before the game!!  Police Chief Bratton was also there!  Visit Goldstar.com if you want some great seats at really great prices :-)

Raw Foods are Super

I'm really considering trying to start a raw food style of living... I think I could do it and it sounds incredibly beneficial. I'm coming to realize that meat is not always my friend. Meat is so much a product of consumerism that it does make me wonder a lot of the time if meat really is good for us. After eating a Sushi meal or a Vegan meal I feel wonderful and usually satisfied, I can't really say the same after eating a meal consisting mainly of meat.  I've really really enjoyed Vegan meals whenever I've eaten them; lately I've also really been trying to find ways to improve my health and in addition to a Pilates program I think this would be great. Cooking food takes a long time; thawing food out takes a long time; both of the aforementioned activities reduce the amount of nutritious value gained from ingesting this food. I love love shopping at Trader Joe's, especially over the average supermarket; supermarkets are SO bright, too cold in some parts, stuffy in others - I feel slightly bad shopping in them - But TJ's on the other hand, is comfortable and satisfying to shop in (even if the aisles are a little tight, but only because there are so many people looking for healthy choices too).  This endeavor will take effort on my part; I think it is time I put some effort into my health. Let's see, if I can put as much effort into this as I do into my love of music & entertainment, I will be one healthy person!

Have a Smurf Day

I heard "The Smurfs" movie has been in the works and wasn't sure how I felt about it...well, I think now I'm excited to see it!  This just reminds me that even though with all the junk that comes out and all the remakes in the works - there are still great movies coming out and hopefully this will turn out to bring Smurfs into the lives of a whole new generation and remind the rest of us why we watched! (Why did we watch?...cause they are Blue! haha :-)  I like their voices and there are so many to relate to; Clumsy, Lazy, Reporter, Jokey, Baker, Grouchy...Smurfette, Papa! I still haven't named them all - have some fun for yourself and re-live the awesome Smurfs from the 80s. (Don't forget the Smoogle and the Smurflings!)
