where’s the african guy? bring me the african guy!
“Motherfucking cock sucker motherfucking shit fucker, what am I doing? What am I doing? I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m doing the best that I can. I know that’s all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anyone paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The african guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn’t, than nothing in this world makes any sense to me. I’m fucked. Maybe I should just quit. Don’t quit! Maybe I should just fucking quit. Don’t fucking quit! I’m fucked. I don’t know what the fuck to fucking do anymore. Fucker. Fuck, shit!”

I highly suggest seeing this movie, if you haven't already. It has a great message. I'm mega into existentialism, and that's what this movie is all about. If you don't get existentialism, you probably won't get much of this movie. It is very humorous though, regardless. Peep peep!

Christmas was amazing, but insanely stressful this year.
I’ll post more about it when I have the time.
For now, I leave you with me and some of my ridiculous best friends, singing to “Say It Ain’t So” by Weezer!

Bubbles!!!!!
I’ve been craving bubble tea like a muhfucka lately! Haven’t had it in like a year and it’s killing me. Taro, preferably. Need to pay a visit to Aki asaps. I wish I was still living in Brooklyn/Manhatt so I can go to St.’s Alp Teahouse every day of my life!
Found a recipe, and I think I’m going to attempt this soon!
Bubble Tea Recipe:
2.2 lbs bubble tea powder (approximately 45-50 (16oz.) bubble teas)
Taro bubble tea is also a top seller worldwide. Taro is a root similar to sweet potato. The purple color makes it a favorite “pretty” drink, but a “tasty” creamy drink with a hint of taro flavoring.
Preparation (16oz serving):
(Scoop is provided FREE of charge with purchase of this powder – $1.99 value)
16oz Bubble Tea Flavored Powder Drink
———————————
1 Scoop Bubble Tea Flavored Powder
1 Scoop Non-Dairy Powder or Refined Creamer powder
1 Scoop Sweetener (sugar syrup, fructose, Hawaiian cane sugar or sugar)
3/4 cup water
1 cup ice
2 fl. oz. of cooked Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls
1) Put all ingredients except tapioca into shaker and shake it up.
2) Make sure that the flavored powder and creamer is mixed well.
3) Add bubble tea tapioca pearls to a cup, and pour your drink over.
4) Put in your big fat bubble tea straw and enjoy.
*Add more flavored powder and creamer for thicker drink.
16oz Ice-Blended Fresh Fruit Drink
———————————
1 Scoop Bubble Tea Flavored Powder
1 Scoop Non-Dairy Powder or Refined Creamer powder
1 Scoop Sweetener (sugar syrup, fructose, Hawaiian cane sugar or sugar)
1/2 cup fresh fruit
1/4 cup crushed ice
2 fl. oz. of cooked Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls
1) Put bubble tea flavored powder, creamer, sweetener and fresh fruit into the blender for 20 seconds or until blended well.
2) Blend the drink less if you like little pieces of fruit.
3) Add tapioca pearls to a cup, and pour your drink over.
4) Put in your big fat bubble tea straw and enjoy.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR ORDER (and save)
Options:
1) Powder Only
2) Add 6.6lb bag of Award-Winning Tapioca Pearls and a pack of 45-50 Fat Bubble Tea Straws
3) Add 6.6lb bag of Award-Winning Tapioca Pearls

Totally in love with this dude, Yuksek.
I might be a little late on this, but whatevs.
Haling from Reims, France, Yuksek has crafted some dirty ass remixes of songs og by Mika, The Kaiser Chefs, and Ghostface Killah. His new album, “Away From the Sea” features the love of my life, Amanda Blank, on the track “Extra Ball”. His other tracks are equally wonderful, and totally dance worthy!

She’s one of my closest friends ever. She’s really an amazing person, and amazingly talented. Her art is wonderful. I adore her photography, so I thought I’d post some of my favorites that she’s taken.
Enjoy!

Ugh, Rafe Spall. This dude is capital B, Banging! I adore him. He can SO get it. Plus, he has an english accent, which automatically gives you 48957489328 cool points. I need to go visit my cousin in London (she’s currently attending Oxford… lucky ass broad), and stalk the shit out of him. Or I at least need to date his identical twin. Peep him in Hot Fuzz, Green Street Hooligans, and he has a bit part in Shaun of the Dead (he was a little fatty in that one, but i still love him). He’s definitely one of the few people who would make me star-struck. he’s a fine man. yum.

Hellz x Reebok
“ As Hellz continues to grow in the fashion industry, collaborating with some of the industries biggest moguls Hellz is extremely proud to present the Hellz x Reebok collaboration shoe, dropping Friday, November 27th.
This highly anticipated model features a fold-down flap which Hellz has utilized as a focal point with pixelated images on a clean black perforated leather upper. It comes with optional shoe string colors (black and neon yellow), stud detailing and a punk rock attitude to go along with it. Creating a bond between the women’s brand and one of the sneaker world’s timeless leaders has become a stepping stone for Hellz to branch off into footwear.
Although there is such a high demand for the collaboration, the shoe will only be available to the public at select retailers, as well as the Hellz soon-to-drop online shop. If purchased through the Hellz online shop, customers will receive a special gift.
Hellz is widely known for providing style savvy women with unique attire, and enthralling collaborations. The Hellz x Reebok shoe, being one, is sure to not disappoint; creating a much more enticing reason to wait for Black Friday.”

So, I really despise wearing watches. I just think they’re obnoxious and get in the way, but I pretty much need this:
I wish it was in purple though.

purple diamonds & red roses
Last night Carissa, Shamsa, Marielle, and I went to Nat’s Tattoo in Islip to pay a visit to tattoo artist, Edwin. I’ve been itching for tattoo work for so long. Carissa got her first tattoo. Shamsa and I basically forced her into it. It came out so nice! She got a rose with purple designs all around it. Sounds pretty simple, but it seriously looks so good! I don’t have a picture of it yet, but I’ll edit this when I do. I opted for a purple diamond on the middle finger of my right hand. It’s basically a “fuck you to marriage”, since it’s on my right hand’s middle finger. I’m obsessed with it and I can’t stop looking at it. And for such a small, simple tattoo, it came out fucking dope!
I cannot stress enough how amazing Edwin’s work is. Get over to Nat’s Tattoo.
Carissa is shy
my new, wittle tattoolie. you can’t tell it’s purple bc of the lighting.
A&D is grossies.
Also, Nat’s Tattoo is doing an amazing special until December 27th. Take advantage.
