i think this blog has run its course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no, <b>seriously</b>, i do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's been a hell of a long time since i've blogged and i even wrote an email to <a href="http://www.urbanrhetoricblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my sis</a> stating that i was over updating it. but then i got this tweet:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B5P6AzaENx4/T9KDP2BUYMI/AAAAAAAAE8s/fDgRZyoTR9w/s1600/tweet.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="63" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B5P6AzaENx4/T9KDP2BUYMI/AAAAAAAAE8s/fDgRZyoTR9w/s400/tweet.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and, in the same day, the boo told me that i should blog while i'm away at school. sigh. he's right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>so, i am officially retiring this blog. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and! you can catch me over at my new blog, <a href="http://missdtm.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">missDTM</a>, where i'll be bringing you my misadventures as i get ready to go to grad school (and then while i'm away). i'll also be updating my new <a href="http://missdtm.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">missDTM tumblr blog</a> with what i call "grad school inspiration".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

it's been a while since i've blogged and i have to admit it's because my heart is heavy. i just cannot get 2 things out of my mind:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. trayvon martin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. amandla stenberg and the hunger games</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the injustice and racism of it all makes me sad and angry. it bothers me. i want to scream at the top of my lungs about how fucked up our society truly is and how disturbed i feel about the whole thing. it makes me sick. and it should make you feel sick as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a young black teenager is shot and no one is held responsible or charged.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a movie (based on a book) is released and people are "surprised/angry/upset" that a character is not white, even though the book clearly states that she has dark brown skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seriously?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i wish someone would tell me that i am living in the twilight zone right now because i'm not understanding how it is 2012 and this is really our reality. what bothers me more is the fact that these are both young people we are talking about. <i>young people</i>. what kind of damage is this doing to other young people in this country? what are the messages that are being spread? how is any of this acceptable?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i fear for the children of my friends, plus all of our future children (if/when we all have children). will we ever live in a time where the color of our skin does not impact the generalizations people make about us? will non-white characters be valued as much as their white counterparts? will we ever be equal?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i worry that the answers to all of these questions, thoughts and ideas in my head will forever be "no." but i am (and will always need to be) optimistic - otherwise i will make myself crazy or never have children of my own. i know that i tend to think "kumbaya - we're all equal - let's celebrate our differences and accept each other as humans" but i have to believe that this is possible. i still hope that one day i will not cry over another young person senselessly shot or feel upset about the nasty and negative things people say about a character in a book because of the color of her skin (btw - if you really thought that about rue, then your reading comprehension is off). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i still hope to one day not worry about racial injustice and its repercussions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i don't even care how idealistic that sounds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

i was doing so well blogging and then...well, i had one of those weeks where i worked a lot and was hardly home so i didn't blog. it's not an excuse, but real life kinda took over. i was excited to blog today until i realized that i wore my <a href="http://twisted-style.blogspot.com/2012/01/favorite-work-dress.html" target="_blank">favorite work dress</a> just slightly different so it wouldn't be worth a whole blog post. shrug.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead, i thought i would blog about my spanking new ring and glasses. this pic is kinda weird but you get the point:</div>

i decided to give up fried foods (bye bye french fries), hamburgers and shopping for lent so yesterday was supposed to be my splurge day. i had fries and a burger but i didn't really splurge...i bought a new earring/cuff thing, 2 rings and these glasses...and that was it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
somehow/someway, i will get through 40 days of no shopping. i just have to keep repeating that to myself.</div>missDTMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01330582105840643858noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685562774405866967.post-54310820488175696222012-02-12T16:33:00.001-05:002012-02-12T16:33:20.705-05:00RIP whitney houston<div style="text-align: center;">

i hate to say it, but i have a love-hate relationship with valentine's day. i love telling my friends and family how much i LOVE them on a frequent basis, but i hate the <u>pressure</u> of valentine's day. i think it dates back to middle school when all of the cool girls would be showered with flowers, balloons, candygrams and stuffed animals. barf. it seemed really <i>extra</i> to me for someone to try and prove how much they loved me on one day of the year. it makes me uncomfortable. in my mind, it seems really forced and unromantic - plus, being "romantic" is not in my dna. i would rather snuggle with my boo while watching some "big bang theory" instead of sitting at some fancy dinner with wine. i don't even drink wine like that! (ok, now i'm just whining).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my boo calls me the ebenezer scrooge of valentine's day since i've been rolling my eyes and talking about my disdain for vday for the past couple of days. sorry, boo. i would really rather sleep my way through the day in my red heart pj's than go out into the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

when my nephew was little and he was pooping, he would say to us, "don't see me!" i feel like that all of the time when i need to take an outfit pic and i don't want the boo to watch me take pics. i know he checks out my blog (hi boo!) but it still feels weird for him to watch me take my outfit pics.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
then you know a DIY is coming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i glitterized those shoes using the same technique that other bloggers are using these days to glitter shoes. but i wanted to put a little spin on it so i wanted them to look a bit like the universe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>materials</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shoes you want to glitter (i paid $30 for these)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
big jar of white glitter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
blue glitter (i didn't use nearly as much of this as i thought i would)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
packs of glitter dust in colors you want</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tacky glue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
glitter glue tubes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bowls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paintbrush</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">because you can get a DIY shoe glitter tutorial anywhere, i'll spare you those details. what i will tell you to do is divide up the white glitter into 4 or more bowls and mix in the glitter dust packets. i mixed a few similar colors together with the white glitter for that space-y feel.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
then go to town glittering in sections. i would paint an area with glue and then pour the glitter on top. after the whole shoe was glittered, i then used my glitter glues as an adhesive on top. now, don't get me wrong - there was glitter EVERYWHERE after i wore these, but i have a feeling there would have been way more had i not used the glitter glue on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this was also a 2 day process for me so you have to be patient. i threw on some ny ink episodes and went to town.</div>
