Day 2-4 of P90X/TurboFire LET'S GO!!!

2011-08-13T13:11:00.000-04:00

Good Saturday MORNING!!!

Okay, ok! I apologize for not writing for the last 2 days! Today is Day 4 for me and the workout is P90X's YOGA X. I love this workout!

Yoga is essential to any workout! Yoga has a deeper meaning then just stretching in weird ways. It hold a spiritual significance to those who practice it. The deep breathing, the deep stretching releases tension while training the mind to focus. The thoughts that are chaotic in the mind are silenced and allows the one practicing the art to finally be one with the deepest parts of him. All that is internal work, that is necessary to any goal, in fitness or life.

But on the OUTSIDE LOL, yoga teaches you to use your own weight and strength to sculpt the body into what it is meant to look like naturally. I have had amazing results with all different "types" of yoga. But don't get caught up with all the "different name" people place on this method of exercise. Yoga is stretching... keep it simple. Try it once in your life. If you have a moment with God... enjoy it and have fun! It might happen.

Switch IT UP!!! P90X/TURBOFIRE HYBRID MISSION

2011-08-10T07:00:00.001-04:00

So, I have gotten far with TurboFire and clearly its my first love... almost an addiction! But, I want to step it up a bit. With programs like P90X, TurboFire or Insanity, you will definitely get to the next level in fitness. Whatever your goal is, you will quickly reach it if you stay committed to the goal and first decide to succeed not matter what. But, because of their intensity, often people give up. Please, don't ever give up. You would be doing yourself an injustice!

Tony Horton first created Power 90 and honestly it's not that bad compared to P90X. But like any great leader, Tony has up'd his game once more and decide to create P90X:MC2, the next level in the P90 Series. I don't know whether to call the man crazy or a genius... usually the two are the same anyway. Now, I'm not going to lie, P90X kicked my butt and I never was able to get past week 3. So, I switched over to TurboFire.

It was just what I needed and Chalene is just as nuts as Tony is! TurboJam, Chalene's first Beachbody program, is easy compared to TurboFire. And Chalean Extreme is like a P90X for her series. I have gotten amazing results with TurboFire, greatly increasing my stamina, maintaining an active metabolism and getting a crazy after-burn hours after completing a daily workout. Needless to say, I'm a feen for Turbo!

But, I needed something a little harder. I'm not crazy yet, but when I get there I will try Insanity. Shaun T can have all that for now. Anyway, I went onto the teambeachbody.com website and found the workout sheets to the Beachbody programs under the Get Fit tab. And it was as though God said, "Let there be MUSCLES... ON SHEENA!!!" There it was, the P90X/TurboFire Hybrid Log Sheet, glistening on the screen... calling my name. "Sheena.... oh Sheena... Come on Sheena you know you want to." I screamed "No, you are trying to kill me." And the sheet said (bare with me, I feel like being dramatic today), "No we aren't... we are trying to help you! Sheena... muscles... fit... sexy... ::roar::" And there it was, me printing out the sheets and preparing myself for this day.

But, I'm prepared. I have my P90X Results and Recovery Formula and Shakeology. What could go wrong?! Let me not even start that cause I have a tendency to speak and things happen.

Ok onto GOALS!

I have dropped enough weight to now start sculpting my body as I see it. One thing I do to help me envision what I wish to look like is find an image online that best resembles what I want to achieve physically. One of my favorite bodies belongs to Olympic swimmer Dara Torres. She is 43 and thinking, once again, of entering the 2012 Olympics! Clearly, I will be rooting for her!

SO, I have an image in my mind. Now, what do I want to be able to physically do? Well, I want to be able to lift my own weight of 130-135lbs. Once I am able to achieve that, everything else is just a plus. Also, I want to increase my flexibility. Flexibility is key and most people don't take the time to do exercises like Yoga or just regular stretching to increase their ability to move farther and deeper. This results in the muscle head look and being extra stiff for no reason. So people, of you are going to do any of these workouts or your own version of them, PLEASE STRETCH!!! Or you will break, pop, or strain something and that is no fun, when you could have just taken some preventive steps. Don't give me the satisfaction of saying, "I told you."

Also, I want to look like my business. Being an Independent Beachbody Coach and owning my own business has been a blessing. Working with amazing people in other states, working out with others and just building residual income is always fun and exciting. And how else could I prove that Beachbody is worth EVERYONES time! Well, I can look the part. In anything that you do, do it because you love it. Do it because it resonates deeply with you. And BE the person you see yourself as. Whether in fitness or in music, I always saw myself as someone who was mentally and physically strong. I have had many challenges and obstacles test that strength and I have come out victorious. I have failed and I have gotten back up again.

So as I embark on kicking my own butt again, increasing the intensity of my workouts, by doing the P90X/TurboFire Hybrid, I ask you to challenge yourself today. Make a list of your goals. Keep it simple and realistic. Make goals that you can accomplish today and in the near future. Always remain in the "NOW" with your thoughts and actions, understanding that actions you take today will magnify your life the moment you step into being yourself rather then waiting to become YOU.

I will be blogging my progress and putting up videos about how I'm doing and feeling, what I'm eating and what I'm leaving. Many have asked that I do these videos to see exactly what it is I do to get results. I may cry in a video, or scream, or be happy or angry, so prepare yourself. I'm willing to be vulnerable and HUMAN so that you can see that, through it all, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Life is meant to abundant and it is you who chooses how much abundance will be allowed to enter your reality.

Have an awesome day!

BeetleJuice and the Skeletons in the Closet

2011-08-09T16:15:00.002-04:00

How many of you remember BEETLEJUICE? I'm not talking about the 1988 movie with Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Michael Keaton. I'm talking about the animated series that used to come on the WB (Warner Bros.) As a kid, I used to watch it at my babysitters house and would die laughing at BJ's antics. Spongebob has NOTHING on Beetlejuice with his "adult" jokes hidden in kid humor.

Well, this past weekend I was at my bestie Val's house and she was torturing me by making me watch Pippi Longstocking. I now understand my friend a little better. =^P Val has this idea, perpetuated by me of course, that I had a horrible childhood. LOL it wasn't bad... it just wasn't a childhood. Sometimes I have a Michael Jackson complex and sing, "Have you seen my childhood?" Anyway, I digress! So Val decided she is going to give me one now. I guess better late then never. While torturing me with Pippi Longstocking, which we didn't get to finish, she wanted to see if I remembered BJ (ha ha still haven't said his name 3 times!)

I freaked out in excitement when I saw the intro and heard the theme song. In a weird way, BJ was a friend to all. A gross one, but a friend nonetheless. After a few episodes, I learned a great deal of morals and values. Who knew?! Interesting that a ghoul would teach me a lesson. I decided to download all the episodes and just enjoy myself. Man! He is crazy though. LOL

Anyway, yesterday, I watched an episode called Skeletons in The Closet. I don't want to tell you the story because I'm including the episode in the blog. But, here was the lesson I learned that shifted my perspective about myself and my circumstances in life. The skeletons in your closet will come out to haunt you and they will eventually tell the truth for you. If you don't want them to embarrass you later on, tell the truth today. Simple huh? You'd think we'd keep it in mind. We know that when we lie to someone, karma is a pain and some way, somehow, they are going to find out. A lie keeps you in bondage.

But then the lightbulb went off. BJ had to be honest, for once, but it was to himself whom he owed the truth. It made me think. How many of us are lying to ourselves on a daily basis? How many of us know deep down in our being who we are and are still allowing the mental lies to tell us differently? How many of us refuse to look at the lies that our own minds are creating about us like, "You're not good enough, " "You won't get that desire," or "Stop trying! You won't succeed anyway," and for the first time, stop the lies by telling ourselves THE TRUTH?!

To get out of the jam, BJ and Lydia had to admit the truth to themselves. Be like them and tell yourself the truth about yourself on a daily basis. And only you know what that is. A truth people reject is "You are already great...TODAY." You don't have to wait to be great tomorrow. Now some may say, "But I don't feel great today. My life doesn't seem so great if its suppose to be." Well, that is your task. It is already great but it is your duty to follow through in making the thoughts you have created in your mind to manifest in your life. If you can see it in your mind, you can make it happen in your material reality. You can do anything you want that will propel you to great heights because no one can stop you. If a voice in your head or outside of your head is telling you differently, it's lying to you. Lies start within and manifest out here in the material world. Even if you have obstacle in your way, it doesn't matter. The truth is, you can handle them. You were always able to handle your life and what you wanted to experience. Allowing other people's opinions of you or of themselves to project onto your life is a disservice to who you are.

Tell yourself the truth. Know yourself and work only with the truth you are, not the lies.

Ok I have to do it....

Beetlejuice...
Beetlejuice...
BEETLEJUICE!!!

Thank you BJ!

Enjoy the episode. The first episode is The Big Face Off and the second is Skeletons in the Closet! Let me know the lesson or insight you got from watching the funny, crazy, weirdo! =^D Smile

Creatine... The "Cocaine" for Athletes

2011-07-28T13:42:00.003-04:00

Well I'm glad that the title of this blog got your attention, but what does that say about you! Lol Just kidding.

Creatine- An athletes best friend. Anyone who wants to lose weight and build muscle (muscles burns fat by the way) should take this supplement. But what is Creatine and what does it do?

I first learned about Creatine when I first did P90X. Tony Horton kept on mentioning the recovery drink. Also, my ex-bf mentioned I should get it because if not, I would be in a lot of pain. Ok, so far all I know is that I have to get this P90X powder if I don't want to ache the next day. But what made the P90X Recovery Drink so important in my transformation? Its main ingredient! Creatine usually comes in powder form and increases the body's ability to produce energy rapidly. That's an excellent thing! Imagine trying to exercise, and having to do an hour long workout and you can't even last 10 mins. For high intensity workouts, Creatine gives you that extra boost.

Now, yesterday I was at Planet Fitness -The Judgement Free Zone- with my bestie/first client, Shanise. We worked every single muscle we have. We even have a new slogan, "If you're not cursing my name out tomorrow, you didn't work hard enough today!" It WAS that intense. Now, this entire week we have been working out... HARD! Along with daily balanced meals, I've been taking Shakeology for my in-between meals snacks and Twin Labs Creatine-Strength right before and after my workouts, though I would have preferred the P90X Recovery Drink- just ran out =^( . I noticed I have not been in a lot of pain; and I know it has to do with the Creatine because prior to introducing it into my diet, working out was murderous!

So I called Creatine the "Cocaine" for Athletes... why? Well, just for kicks, it is a white tasteless powder unless flavored for marketing purposes. You know people need to have the "Berry Blast," "Orange Tang," "Strawberry Swirls" in their lives. Usually, that's done because the product tastes nasty. But, the creatine I have tried tend to not have any flavor. Also, cocaine is a drug that makes you feel high. While cocaine can KILL YOU, creatine will enhance you and your workout. The harder your work out, the more endorphins you release, giving you a natural high. But like any "drug," people can become addicted. I can greatly see how people could frequently take Creatine to relieve pain. It does kind of kill the motto "No Pain, No Gain" by enhancing the amount of energy you produce. It allows more water to enter your muscle cells, increasing protein synthesis (muscles are made of proteins), causing you to increase the amount of effort you put into your workouts and all the while, repairing the ripping and tearing you are causing your muscles, decreasing the pain you feel, while increasing the results you wish to see. But the idiot that takes Creatine and does not work out, is in for an adverse surprise.

Creatine makes you gain weight! WHAT!?!?!?! I just scared the hell out of everyone who was thinking about getting some. Let me explain!

Creatine helps the muscles heal when they have been ripped apart from the strenuous exercises you do. It patches up all the torn muscles fibers, making them grow bigger. This is only a good thing if you take advantage of the burst of energy you get from creatine and actually do an intense workout. Like I said before, muscle burns fat. But if you don't exercise while taking Creatine, all you are doing is retaining water that is not being released as sweat. Water weight is not cool! =^P Lol. So you start gaining weight and its not event due to muscles. All you have done is frustrated yourself because you attempted to do one thing and accomplished another. Don't misuse this supplement! Don't fool yourself with the idea that creatine gives you a burst of energy and that is what you need. If you need energy, go eat some healthy, balanced, nutrient filled foods. Shakeology would actually be a great start. Use it as a meal replacement.

Another possible side effect with Creatine is that it has been known to cause dehydration. Hence, another reason why the average joe shouldn't just take it for kicks. You must be aware that your water intake must increase and will be released when you sweat it out during a workout routine. Athletes should already be consuming more water then the average person and will need to increase it once more when taking Creatine. You don't really need to worry about this. Just increase your water intake with an extra 2-3 glasses of water and you'll be fine. Some people experience dehydration more than others. If you feel dehydrated when taking Creatine, immediately drink water. During my workouts, I usually carry a hydration pack with me. These can be a little expensive but the cheapest I've seen them for a good quality one has been $25. Invest in one! TODAY! =^D It is worth it, especially when the summer heat waves appear.

Use Creatine before, during or after a workout. Give your all to your workout and push past your breaking point, creating a new level to conquer next time. Have fun! Always do your best! And keep coming back. Remember, you are loving yourself and doing something for yourself when you work on developing your body, your mind and your spirit.

Have a wonderful day and keep SMILING!!!

Muay Thai-Decide-The Pin Life =^D

2011-07-27T09:49:00.002-04:00

Good Morning Beautiful People,

It is a great morning for me indeed. I got my ass kicked last night and I loved it! Yeah, I'm a little sadomasochistic in that way. LOL! I went to a PINPOINT Muay Thai in Lynbrook, NY with my two besties and it was definitely interesting. For starters, once again, thank you TURBOFIRE! And I'll give myself a little pat on the back as well for actually going through the program, because had I not been doing an intense cardio conditioning program like TF, I would have passed out. The teacher, Andy Singh, was super amazing. I can see why he hasn't lost any of his amateur fights and just recently fought his first pro fight and won that one as well. He is roughly around my height (5'2ish-5'3ish) but for a smaller stature, that man moves QUICK and with A LOT of POWER! It was crazy fun and I'm definitely going back even though it is a trek for me to get there. It is worth the 1-2hr ride!

Now, I got excited because I was able to release some pent up energy but, the most exciting thing for me was all the women in the class. HOW FREAKIN' COOL!!! These ladies were sweet and sporty but you didn't want to mess with them because the could easily knock your lights out. Anybody who knows me, knows that that kind of thing is my stimulus! Sweet and nice... but the second you step out of line, be very careful. One of the female trainers saw that I had a lot of power in my kicks and punches but she quickly taught me a very valuable lesson. "You are using too much force. Relax and breathe." And I'm here like, "You have got to be kidding me... not again." What I meant by that is, no matter whether I am fighting, meditating or singing, I always forget to breathe properly and I get super tense. This is just a testament to all the anxiety that I developed in my life that quickly turned into problems that where left unchecked. The second I switched my mindset and relaxed, focusing on ebbing and flowing the blows I received with the blows I was giving... SYNERGY WAS CREATED!!! I physically felt what "ying and yang" IS! It was incredible! The harmony between giving a blow to the side and receiving a blow to the side, is the same. The energy I released when striking my partner, was absorbed by her and re-released to my when she hit back, adding on her own personal energy, which I then absorbed and became one with. Then, the cycle repeated, getting bigger, stronger and faster, creating motion. It's almost felt like an energy ball formed around us linking the two together. If I had to say what it "looked" like, I would say an atom. It's funny that I should even consider it the image of an atom because we were circling each other every time we prepared to give a hit, the way an electron circles a proton and nucleus.

So it was amazing, awesome and great and I recommend that everyone take a self defense class at least once in their life. What would you be going for? Self-defense isn't the only thing that martial arts provided. With any form of physical activity, that has a system involved, discipline is required. Something like Muay Thai can and will develop that because without it, you will fail. That's just the way it is. Anything worth doing in life requires discipline, but things that are worth being called "Great," require you to dig deeper than that. Martial arts also helps with CONFIDENCE, coordination, concentration, obviously fitness, health and wellness, linking mind, body and spirit. I emphasized confidence because this is the one things most people lack. You know they want to do "something," but can't get the nerve up to do it. Whatever that thing is, you must find a way to come to terms with it. First and foremost, DECIDE. That is the first step to anything you want to do. Now, when I say "DECIDE" I'm not saying, "Pick something and do it." That's is too flakey! When you decide to do anything in your life, make the whole hearted intent within yourself that whatever it is you want to accomplish will BE accomplish. Make it so powerful in your mind that Death himself will have to await until YOU are done will you missions in life. After that, he can come pick you up in a caddy with the craziest speaker system playing your songs of life as you enter the afterlife. INTEND YOUR LIFE. You do have that right and power, so freakin' use it! Some people don't want to go through the effort of taking a martial arts class because, like going to the gym, its too much work for them. There is a level of laziness and idleness we all have. But, should you decide to take on the mission of challenging yourself with different things that will most definitely make you a better person, never allow the outer and inner voices to stop you. You ARE WORTH the FIGHT! Decide NOW!

Sheena

Good Tuesday Evening!

2011-07-26T14:29:00.008-04:00

Goooooodddd Evening!!! I hope and pray that everyone is doing amazing and staying hydrated and happy during these heat-waves. It's been great for me! I like the heat. But two nights ago, I'll admit, IT WAS BRUTAL! Lol But anyway, HIIII!

It's been a while since I have written in my blog. I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted to talk about. Many things happen on a daily basis, but to chronicle your life takes time and effort that I wasn't ready to commit to. But, nonetheless, I keep coming back. This time, a few things in my life have manifested that I am extremely excited, eager and willing to write about on a frequent basis.

So the question stands, "What has Sheena been up to?" Well, I have gone on a mission to help others change their lives. When we help others we tend to use the talents we have that are obvious. But, I decided to go and dig deep and first start by helping myself with something I felt was very important. Many have heard me speak about how big I was as a kid and young adult. Obviously, it has greatly affected who I am and how I respond to things. So in trying to learn about myself and how to fix the damage I created mentally, spiritually, and physically I fell in love with fitness. I decided it was time I take control of my body and how I wanted it to work for me. I decided to pursue a personal trainer certification, which ISSA (International Sports and Science Association) which I am currently working on obtaining. You'd be surprised what amazing philosophical thoughts pop up when you study how the body actually functions with all its systems, and the reliance of one to the other. It's really interesting and I thought to myself, "How can I get others interested in what it is I know and am learning about the vehicle (body) in which they live?" Keep coming back to read this blog and you will see.

At the beginning of this month, I became a Independent Team Beachbody Coach. For those of you who do not know the Beachbody company, maybe you will know their products. Have you heard of P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, TurboJam, Slim in 6, Brazilian Butt Lift? If you have heard of ANY of these workout, maybe on a late night informercial, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't, let me introduce you to the opportunity that can change your life.

Some people saw the TRANSFORM BURN & BUILD video I put up last month on Facebook about my evolution from child to adult. In that video, I gave a snippet of a workout. I was doing TurboFire! I was and still am so excited by this program because my mentor is the creator of it. Chalene Johnson is incredible! I love her and I will wave her flag until the end. She, like Tony Horton (P90X), Shaun T (Insanity) and the rest of the Beachbody family, have dedicated their live to helping educate people on health and wellness and what it really means to be fit. But let's get something straight. These people do NOT play. They may make it fun, but transforming your image to what your imagination see, requires hard work and dedication. I hope you heard that loud and clear!

My best friend knew that I was trying to complete P90X but I was way too weak for the strength and conditioning workouts. I would start and stop, start and stop. I got so frustrated that I just stopped. But Valerie called me to her house and told me she found something for me to try. She then showed me the video advertisement for Turbofire. I freaked out and the rest is history! I am currently on Day 58. A lot of people started connecting with me to see if these Beachbody products really work. Um... DUH!!! But there is a trick. Like their mantra say, "Decide. Commit. Succeed." you must do those things to gain the results you want. That is why, when I was offered the opportunity to become a Independent Team Beachbody Coach, I jumped on it. I wanted to help people get the best results for their hard effort. I wanted people to learn how to properly eat, how to really exercise, what vitamins and minerals to take, what protein shakes would do them right, etc. And plus, it fell right in line with my goal of becoming a personal trainer. We all need to take care of ourselves and Beachbody provided me with a way to share an important concept (health and wellness), back by amazing products.

Last night, my besties, Valerie and Shanise, and I did some product testing on meal replacement shakes. My product of choice was Shakeology. Shanise decided to bring her product, Vega. Now, let me just put this out there. Both Shanise and I enjoy HEALTH! Period. So yes, we have both tasted some.... interesting things in our health food adventures. But, I realized that the main reason people won't get healthy until its too late is because the majority of this stuff tastes NASTY! See, someone like me can get over it all in the name of health. But, do I really need to suffer? Maybe the anti-healthy people have a point! lol But no, in all seriousness, the only way these products could be properly tested is if a "kid" was there. Hence, Valerie's point of view. LOL! She definitely has kid taste buds. Check out the video below to see our review =^D

Shakeology is cool but, don't take our word for it. Here's more info on Shakeology! I approve!

If you are interested in the Ninja Blender, Click Here. You pick from any of these and it will do you just fine!

So tonight, I will be taking a Muay Thai class. This should be fun and I will let you know how it goes. For those who don't know what Muay Thai is, its a martial art that comes from Thailand. It is known as the Art of Eight Limbs because it uses (2) punches, (2) kicks, (2) elbows, and (2) knee strikes. It has a boxing feel to it. So, I may have just found my new love.
Also, this coming August, I will be planning a trip to Spa Castle. A group announcement will be made with all the information and all you have to do is let me know if you are coming. The dates are still TBA. We will know shortly what day that event will happen. One of my goals is to educate you on the body and its many untapped healing powers and uses. You are not a meat suit that is walking around. You are vibrant and LIVE! Massages are important and it will be discussed later on this month on this blog site.
Come back regularly and check out the Events page to see what we are doing and when. We are gonna rock this nation with a new outlook on life. Health does not have to be nasty tasting. You can change your life once you learn to change your mind. Advice of the Day: Try new things. Be open to new experiences even if no one else will join you. there will always be someone who will want to learn from you and with you.
Well, its time for me to leave and get ready to meet my friends for sushi and a round of kicking each others butts! I will talk to you tomorrow until then. SMILE!!!

LET'S ROCK!

Training to the Core-Deprogram Reprogram Your Life (Day 1)

2011-04-07T22:05:00.008-04:00

Have you ever felt trapped in your body? Physically? Mentally? Emotionally? Ever felt like you just wanted to crack open your shell and emerge as a new creature? Like a butterfly confined to its cocoon knowing that the growing pains are getting to intense and too strong to remain in that shell any longer. But something is wrong. You just can't seem to break free.

That is exactly what I have felt a great portion of my teenage and young adult life. I've wanted to run out of my skin so many time because I understood that something deeper in me was yearning for something bigger and better that is deserved.

I understood that I was out of alignment with whatever it was that I was suppose to do in life. And it could have simply been to enjoy it, but I wasn't due to stress factors and problem I have brought upon myself. So I started setting goals... and accomplishing them.

I'm Back!!! I'm Ready!!! I Have No Choice But To Be!!!

2011-04-06T08:00:00.168-04:00

Good Morning to ALL,

The last time I wrote in my blog was February 21, 2011. What a shame that I have been away for so long! In truth, I had a lot of internal worries blocking me from my progress and growth in life, that I completely shutdown. After my last post of having a mental breakthrough on the origins of some of my habits, this wave of negative emotion took hold. Once I realized that something in my childhood greatly affected me, and how it spiraled into a slew of different defend mechanism in my teenage and adult life, I couldn't get a grip on my emotions. After some time away and growing pains, I'm back in action.

So what have you missed?

Switching it UP!!! Self-Realization (Part 1)

2011-02-21T08:00:00.004-05:00

I originally had this blog set up a specific way, having each day dedicated to a topic. I really wanted to do it this way because it was easier for me to talk about the topics in some sort of order. But something has happened over the past few days that has changed my mindset and belief system about myself greatly and how I handle and organize things. So now I will be writing a little bit more uninhibited and not sticking so much to a schedule, but allowing what wants to be written to manifest. SO, with that being said... I would like to share my experience with all who are interested.

For the longest time, I have struggled with being me. I believe everyone at some point in time struggles with this. Whether its your parents putting mental binds on you, or friends, teachers, anyone; how we react shapes and constructs our future selves and we end up living a life we never really wanted. But we decided to live this way because we didn't feel like dealing with the wrath others could have and blatantly told us they would afflict us with.

They Live - A 1988 Movie on Economic Depression

2011-02-09T08:00:00.004-05:00

It seems like every 20 years we have a new economic issue. Apparently, somebody is not doing something right. Even with new technologies, there should be a stable system in place for the benefit of all. Oh but that's only in a perfect, Utopia of a world, which as a whole, we do not live in. We definitely can prosper individually by gaining knowledge and putting it to action, but could the entire economic system completely crash to the point of having the entire middle class wiped out? Absolutely! It won't matter how much money you have in the end, there is a cap coming really soon. In my last blog about finance, I advised people to look up the term "Martial Law." This has got to be one of the most nerve wrecking. disturbing terms in existence. Remember WWI and WWII... how cold you forget. Some of us weren't even thought of yet, and some of us actually fought in those wars. Do you know why they even started? I suggest going back to the Eustace Mullins footage I provided in my last finance blog. But during those wars and many others, the United State declared martial law on its citizens. But what is martial law?

Martial Law is "the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated region(s) on an emergency basis—and often, but not necessarily, only temporarily—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively." Yet, what defines an emergency? And could a government declare martial law against its citizens without real justification? Yup they can and I most definitely believe they will.

Click this site for some more info, on Martial Law.

"They Live" by John Carpenter, was released in 1988. At that time, America's economic status was rough. The movie is hilariously cheesy, but the point was profound. The point of the movie is quite obvious, but I want you to take somethings into consideration. Are movies created to tell us something? or are they just for entertainment? Funny enough, we are going through the same issues as the characters of the movie and if some of us are not there yet, we will soon be. Enjoy the movie and use your head. Can and will it happen to us? Will martial law be declared? And what are we gonna do about it?

The Buddha

2011-02-08T08:00:00.005-05:00

A few months back, my mother called me into the room and said, "I want to show you something. I think you'll be interested in it." What she showed me was a PBS special on The Buddha. It was the most interesting and well put together video I've seen on The Buddha. So I've decided to put up this documentary, created by filmmaker David Grubin, in hopes that you will take the time to witness the intensity in which Siddhārtha Gautama aka The Buddha searches for truth and find enlightenment.

When I first started looking into religions and ways of life different from my own, a heaviness was on me. I was in complete fear of upsetting God for looking into "other" ways, that the religion I was brought up in would call pagan. But something deep inside me decided to use the brain I was given and follow my gut feeling to seek and find out whatever it was I wanted to know. I'm a strong believer and practitioner that if you want to find out the truth, look for it yourself and trust no ones word. I greatly believe what we call God can "speak" to the human in the most craziest ways. It may be through an email subject line, through iTunes song titles once you've put iTunes on shuffle lol, through a movie, picture, and obviously a person. Now, I know most people don't trust other people as far as they can throw them, but nonetheless, I have learned that sometimes God will use the most random people to tell you something.

Did You Get Your Interest-Free Loan Back From the IRS?

2011-02-07T14:18:00.011-05:00

Taxes! Every year you have to file them. Do you know why? Do you know what it is? Every year, I hear people get so excited about their taxes. "Oooo when I get my refund, I'mma buy me some new clothes... the new Prada bag... the new "whatever". When I hear people say things like this I always think of the Sonny & Cher song, "I Got You Babe," and the lines, "(Cher) They say our love won't pay the rent, before it's earned, our moneys all been spent. (Sonny) I guess that's so, we don't have a pot, But at least I'm sure of all the things we got." I crack up every time money matters pop up around me because this song starts playing in my head. When Sonny finishes his line, I say, "Yeah ya got DEBT!" I'm not gonna lie, it hurts my feelings (yes... I'm quite sensitive lol) that people mismanage their money. But I can't really blame peoples ignorance. In truth, people just don't know. As children, we run around and play and never really think about how our parents are working hard, and probably unwisely, to provide for us. They are doing the best they can and with limited knowledge. They can only teach us what they know, which is usually not very much for previous generations. They only things parents know how to say is, "Get good grades, go to a good school, and get a high paying job." Unfortunately, they don't know that the information they just gave us was a one way ticket to debt and it takes a wise mind to make right the death wish they just set upon you. Well what was wrong with what they said? Nothing, if you want to have a stress-filled life living paycheck to paycheck. How many of you have ever heard your parents say, "invest in appreciating assets, start your own corporation, learn about the stock market, invest in real estate." Does anyone even know what an asset is? Most people around me, in the area in which I grew up, are not concerned with assets, they are concerned with liabilities they think are assets. Consider when you buy a new car for $20,000. When you have it taken off the lot, its already lost its value and after 2-years, your pride and joy is now just worth $13,000 (Buying A Car-Don't Do IT!)

What I noticed and know as an incredible fact about humans is that we are in love with instant gratification. We want things NOW! We have no patience whatsoever, to take the time to build up our future for ourselves, for our children, for things we would like to do like travel, learn a new craft, buy the car and houses you just spent all your money on, now its not worth a jack-squat! People, there is a way to do it. You can have the nice things in life, and still pay your light bill. I'm super tired of seeing people at the welfare center with brand you sneakers, clothes, watches, etc and they are trying to get food stamps. Priorities a little backwards? I think so. People reading this are probably laughing either because a) they know somebody like that or b) they are that person (haha you know who you are lol) Either way, there is a way to live abundantly. It just takes patience. The time it takes... well, that is solely up to you.

If you live in the ghetto and you are called a "hustla" TRUST ME... you got NOTHING on the real hustlers of this world. The reason I said, "If you live in the ghetto" is because the term "hustla" is used most frequently there... outside the ghetto, hustlas are know as... get ready for it...bankers! Most of you don't give a jack about the bankers, ohhhh but you should. They make or break you. Before I get into that, let's go back to taxes.

Regaining Life Through Food and Movement

2011-02-03T08:00:00.101-05:00

Back in 2004, I graduated high school and went straight to Boston, MA to attend Berklee College of Music. I was 18 years old and 125lbs. Three years later, in 2007, I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Music Business/Management and an extra 70lbs.! At age 21, I had peaked to 195lbs and stabilized at 185lbs. I was in bad shape, emotionally distraught, broken within and without. By the time I left Boston, MA in 2008, I had dropped a few pounds because at some point I realized I had to do something. But it was extremely difficult on my mind. I had struggled to pay the rent, utilities and anything else that was mandatory to pay. I remember how angry I was to have mismanaged my money, my time, my energy and in the end, it didn't benefit me... so I thought. When you're broke, hungry and unhealthy, your whole entire world just crashes. That was a time of great depression, anxiety, anger, "insert negative emotion here," you name it. I remember having to go to the store and buy a container of oatmeal, you know the big ones, that only cost me $2.45, so that I could eat for a month. EVERYTHING was rationed out. I hated myself, I hated my situation, and only I was to blame. I allowed my life and my emotions to control me so much to my breaking point that I almost committed suicide. It was a BAD TIME! Did I want to purposely kick the bucket? Absolutely not! But the physical, emotional and mental pain that I was experiencing, was just too much.

Gotta Love Conspiracy

2011-02-02T14:30:00.048-05:00

I have a hugh interests in words. My best friend is not a person (sorry guys ::sad face::). It is actually dictionaries. One of my besties is Webster. Webster and I have a long term relationship. He teaches me the meaning of things and I quietly enjoy his company. :) What I'm dying to get my hands on is the Black's Law Dictionary. Why this one? Well, the world that you and I live in is governed by law. And the Black's Law Dictionary is THE law dictionary of ALL law dictionaries. It defines words in such a manner that you wouldn't have even known, that in a court of law, would be considered such a definition.
I greatly believe in the power thoughts that become the words/deeds you do.

"Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."-Proverbs 18:21(KJV)

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leave him."-Buddha
