Hair styles, drugs, and art

... words spoken inside a little room in the good ole YMCA.
In a beautiful town in an old but fasinating building lied three people from three different walks of life talking about one subject LIFE. It started with a little idea that I had brewing inside of me that to be honest I was a little frightful at first what was going to happen.
The smell of cheap airfreshener and hot coffee filled the hot little room. One Chair One Bed One Floor 6 hours and one surprising good time.
We talked about everything under the sun, nothing was untouched we were all exposed to our true personalities.
I colored, dryed, straightened a lady's hair as the other was talking and asking questions about life.
You see although people could have such different personalities, morals, thoughts, ideas and values. We can come to an understanding and a place that there was no judging.
I mentioned at first the frightfulness that lingered til I left the place. Wondering through the hallways of this unique building brought thoughts to my head.
1. How many people in this area has actually been inside this building?
2. How many people walk by and just blow it off, like it was inexistence? (like I have done in the past!!!)
This has led to questions that are underanswered, things to be worked on. How can a beautifully architectured building such as the YMCA be so trashed, unkept, and not appealing to the neighbors near by!!!!

Oh the holidays!!!

Born and pretty much raised in Arizona, never really saw a "White Christmas" or a cold thanksgiving untill I moved to Chicago!!!

Being so far away has brought other difficulties besides freezing my "potush"(my word for butt) off, which includes not being able to spend the Holidays with my family or doing the "typical" christmas and thanksgiving rituals that I have grown to love over the years.


So last year was the OFFICAL first Thanksgiving alone. Sad. I know, its ok. Although, it just gave me a tasting of what this year would be like. WAIT. Let me go back to what I did. Well you see I help out with the underprivilaged of Chicago. My friends and I picked up some of our favs from the good ole street and we first went to a food hand out place as my good friend and I stuffed our face with all of our favorite Holiday desserts then we drove to China town (of all places) almost got kicked out but got "GOOD FOOD" actually I feel like it was TOO authentic for my lovely taste buds. Then we walked our way through Chinatown and then my friends and I spent the rest of the night hanging out, eatting more, and just enjoying each others company.


WELL. So this year I asked myself, "what am I going to do?" Then I realized that the street people come and go and although some of the same friends that I hung out with are not going to be seen this year. The question of the day and week will be " WHAT AM I GOING TO DO???"


Ok. So not only the day such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, but the season see the holidays for me are more about the traditions and the preparation leading up to it such as the music, hot chocolate, movies, baking, and being together as a family or friends. I was talking to a friend the other day and we were trying to figure out what movie we should see for the HOLIDAYS since we are both OBSESSED with holiday movie that we have choose to see comes out on December 4th and it cant come soon enough. I have been watching trailors, reading reviews and telling everyone and there mom aboutn this FANASTIC movie that I have found!!!!!


Anyways, I am almost done with my Christmas shopping and its not even DECEMBER!!!! Of course I will still want to pick up a few odds and ends to complete my Christmas gift list although I need to get everything finished by the 16th cause this city girl will be spending a fanastic Christmas with my family and best of friends in the warm desert of Arizona.

-Love.
