Where is Everybody??

I started this blog in March of 2011…took a few breaks here and there, but for the most part I've been chugging away.

According to my stats, I've had quite a few views…almost 24,000 if you are to believe the little counter on my sidebar :D hehe

Okay, so maybe to "pro bloggers" that wouldn't really be a big deal.

But to me, it is!! I find it amazing…

So, whoever you are…reading my blog…I'm going to ask you a favor.

FOLLOW ME!!

You know that cool box with faces down over yonder at the bottom of all my pages???

("Of course!", you say.)

Well click it. Click "Join this Site".

Please, just show me some love. :)

Coming Back...

I've been away from blogging for a while now. At first, I thought I liked it better...I didn't feel pressure to post anything, I felt like I had one less thing to worry about.

And for a while, that was cool. I was okay with it. But recently, I realized that I am not okay with it. I loved my blog. Even though I'm not sure that anyone besides my mother actually read it, I liked having this small piece of the internet to call my own.

So I'm coming back to blogging and this time, I'm not going to give up so easily...I think I'll stick around for a while, see where it takes me. :)

Updates:

I have a Storenvy store! HD computer wallpapers, iPhone wallpapers, etc! Check it out! More coming soon.
My Pinterest boards are overflowing...
My Design Business is going great! I have some new clients lined up for the fall and I'm really excited.
I'm in my Senior Year of College!! I'm ready to face the last year head-on and I can't wait to have that diploma in my hand.

There's tons more, but I'll save the rest for individual posts.

I hope someone, somewhere is happy that I'm back :D

Impatience is a Virtue…oh Wait, That's Not Right...

I am, by nature, a very impatient person. I hate waiting for grades, checks to clear, things to come in the mail.

I always find myself complaining about something that's taking too long and so, since we're so close to the New Year, I find myself tallying all of my vices…and virtues too, just to see where I need to focus my efforts next year. :)

I Believe In...







This is a clip from the Psych episode a few weeks ago. (Watch it now!)

It inspired me to created my own little list of things I believe in, below.

My recent foray into the poem world with the book, Because I Am Furniture, inspired me to share a poem I had written recently while I had time to kill on campus. It was a beautiful day, uncommon for November, and I was watching the leaves fall from the trees...

It's been a while...

Ahh, blog I miss you!!

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I'll explain why.

I started school again…I started work again…umm…that's about it.

But it's enough to make my brain spin sometimes, which makes me forget about awesome things like my blog. (A tragedy, I know.)

So I'm writing here to promise to put renewed effort into this scrap of the internet that I claim to be mine.

Some of the things I'm currently working on are:

www.disneymadesimple.com This website of mine is my excuse for learning more about Disney World and loving every second of it. It needs a new design and interface and so….that's where my work comes in.

www.thefoodxchange.blogspot.com This blog is my motivation for learning healthy, easy recipes, in order to force myself to be a healthier individual.

www.jmandmdesign.com This website is my freelance graphic and web design business, requiring enough work on it's own, let alone along with all this other nonsense I'm doing.

Reading Music. This endeavor is proving to be pretty fun and not all that time consuming, which is nice for a change. 

Learning French. Learning another language has always been a dream of mine. My audio tutor whom I play while doing Photoshop homework, has helped me learn how to say precisely one phrase. ("I know a little bit of French."….Which happens to be entirely untrue, depending on how you define "a little".)

Art Journaling. I was introduced to this concept by my 2D design teacher last semester. I purchased a lovely book on the subject and created my very first entry, only to not have the time to pursue it. I vow to try and get an entry in every weekend. 

Yoga Training/Teaching. I taught two of my eight community service hours required for my level 1 certificate this summer, thanks to the generosity of my great friend. I plan to force my parents to take the rest of the hours I am required. (hehe.) I am also working on setting up my level 2 training and very excited to continue my learning. I also plan to actually use my gym membership and take at least 2 yoga classes there a month, in order to attempt to get my money's worth.

School. Although I'm taking only two classes, Photoshop is quite time intensive as is my Advertising class. I am however, grateful that I took the two classes at the same time, because they tend to tie into each other quite nicely.

My Blanket. Remember my crochet post? ("Sure I do!", you say.) Well my blanket is coming along very nicely. It no longer looks like a table runner and it is now big enough that I can actually use it to keep me warm while I'm crocheting it.

So, that's what I've been doing with my time. As you can see, I have about 25 billion things going on at once, but that's the way I like it. What's life without a little craziness?

Jason Mraz Webisodes - A Day With Jason & Toca



"…after that, I start to forage…"

"…is it gonna be a whole salad, half a salad; half an enthusiastic salad…"

"…or I'll find a shower…"

"…I guess, if you wanted to…you could take a 7 hour shower…"

"...I'd hate to have to be the person that has to dust this place…"

Toca you're hilarious.

Peace Iced Tea: Tea with a Mission

So I originally picked this tea up because it had an awesome bottle. I don't often drink iced tea, and I actually just bought it to put on my shelf as art. Then I became curious and I picked up two of their razzleberry flavor (one to drink and one to look at).

I went online to look them up and see if they had any other flavors. They actually have seven different flavors, of which, my local Rite Aid only carries two :'(

On their about us page they have this blurb: 

“If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.” -Marvin Gaye

On February 21, 1958, a designer and artist named Gerald Holtom rendered the Peace Symbol to support the 4 April march organized in London by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War. The Peace Symbol has, universally, come to symbolize peace. The Peace Symbol is not something to be messed with, to be exploited or to be trivialized. The Peace Symbol is the very inspiration behind the creation of Peace Tea. Yes, Peace Tea is a product meant to be bought and enjoyed. However, that is not the point. Peace Tea was not brought to life to commercialize or rip off or capitalize on the Peace Symbol. There are fashion brands, bands, record labels and countless other examples of products which utilize the Peace Symbol.

Peace Tea was born out a yearning for a higher calling. It is all about one single and perfect and fundamental truth: To evoke an emotion, or perhaps even more importantly, an action.

Peace Tea is whatever you want it to be.

Peace Tea is based in the true meaning of Peace. Peace is a balance of a deep understanding in yourself and between others where a mutual respect results by accepting differences, displaying tolerance, erasing tensions and allowing each and every person to have a voice, an opinion, a right to be who and what they want to.

While Peace Tea is a product, it is a product that stands for social obligation, social awareness, benevolence, compassion and soul. It can, in the form of a mere liquid, be your own form of poetry, art, music, philosophy, belief system. But more than anything, Peace Tea strives to be a product that makes a difference. Even the most minimal difference.

If even one person reaches for a can of Peace Tea and thinks into what Peace is all about and is motivated to act, then Peace Tea has fulfilled its reason for being. Perhaps that very person sees their reflection and is moved enough to do something in their day that benefits someone or something. Peace, compassion and generosity can come in the smallest acts. It can be buying a meal for a person living on the streets; helping a blind person get across a busy boulevard; helping an elderly person off an airplane; taking the time to lift the spirits of a friend who is down and struggling; helping a lost dog find its owner. It can be anything. Like the bumper sticker says, it can be about “practicing random and senseless acts of generosity and kindness.”

Peace Tea is a product with a purpose. A product to believe in. Peace Tea is Peace, Love and Understanding.

Peace Tea is love over gold.

Peace Tea is iced tea with a mission. And I like that.

Introducing the Chromebook



My Mom's netbook recently got wet, so I told her she should get a Chromebook. Of course, she didn't know what that was, so I found her this video released by Google to help her understand.

The video enforces why I love Google so much. Their incredible sense of humor that makes this video not only informative but actually interesting to watch, is great.

Chromebooks are currently being pre-ordered, the model I want my Mom to get, being released mid-July, according to Amazon:



They're definitely worth taking a look into if you need a handy, portable, computer to do internet tasks. (Which is all my Mom needs it for.)

Sugarcane Notepad.

Sugarcane Notepad!

My Mom brought these awesome notepads home from Staples one day. They're called Sustainable Earth and Staples makes them.

When I read what they were made out of, I fell in love…

They're sugarcane!

I immediately tried to eat it.

I think that's the coolest thing you could ever make a notepad out of.
