The MAXIM's I buy....
NOT THAT^^^^ MAXIM!! ;-) She's hot tho! I'm speaking of the MAXIM that means a fundamental principle...The list below is important to me...I look for it[and expect it] in myself and the people I interact with often.
1.If you want someone to do something, persuade them; don't make them.
2.Always be kind at first, but be firm if your kindness is exploited.
3.In matters of blame, think twice before you speak.
4.Be critical but not cynical.
5.Never allow the low standards of others to lower your own standards.
6.Admire good people.
7.Be truthful, but not in order to hurt others.
8.Let the facts speak for themselves.
9.Don't allow your temper to do what your reason can't.
10.Don't confuse independence with rebelliousness.
11.Don't think that what is right is always obvious.
12.Stare at yourself in the mirror once in a while.
She Who Loves Goodness Also Loves TRUTH
A good person is a truthful person, not only to others but to themselves. They seek out and respect the truth for their own consumption, not fooling themselves about where the truth lies.
The honest person wants her real beliefs and motives KNOWN. She doesn't want to hide behind anything. It is the opposite trait to deceitfulness, manipulativeness, and corruption. An honest person tries to be open so that the book can always be identified from the cover. A dishonest person is forever watchful in case her true feelings and intentions should slip out, so she has to put on an act to hide what is really in her heart. That often takes the form of an EXCESSIVE show of trustworthiness, so that the others will be thrown off the scent. A lot of people are highly skilled at that form of theater; and their dishonesty may come as a big surprise. An honest person makes a point of letting you know where she really stands: no act comes between you and her real self. She feels a powerful commitment to the truth. Honesty is a virtue not a vice. It's not just about "letting people know what you think of them" ; it runs deeper than that. Honesty can sometimes come in harsh words, however, it needs a good intention behind it. It's not about blurting everything out without regard for the consequences.

With a Cherry [tomato] On Top--
Stop the Insanity!!
We're going to sink the U.S one day by eating like this...
More My Speed
French blue canvas, while the heel is yellow suede. The heel contains a Charlie Brown-like zig-zag design. The pair also comes with round, brown dress laces.
The toe and lace hole tabs in a red/pink suede; rest of the sneaker is brown canvas with the exception of the black, suede swoosh;complemented with forest green and black laces.
These SB’s are on schedule for spring '09!
Delicious
While I'm very excited for the Fall/Winter [fashion wise], I can't ever wait to get back to Spring/Summer. It might be that I'm a Summer Baby...or just the simple fact that I love sexy sandals/heels.

* These characteristics of stories, and our natural affinity toward them, reveal clues about our evolutionary history and the roots of emotion and empathy in the mind.
* By studying narrative’s power to influence beliefs, researchers are discovering how we analyze information and accept new ideas.

I'm A Gifter Sniffer-Hidden Power of Scent
KEY CONCEPTS* The human sense of smell is often seen as insignificant, but this sense is keener and more influential on our species than many people realize.
* Smell subconsciously facilitates a variety of human social interactions. People use smell to assess a person’s likability, sexual attractiveness and emotional state. They can also use scent to distinguish a stranger from a friend, a male from a female and someone who is gay from someone who is straight.
* Deficiencies in olfaction may contribute to social withdrawal, such as that which accompanies schizophrenia.

Sleep on It-How Snoozing Makes you Smarter
KEY CONCEPTS
* As we snooze, our brain is busily processing the information we have learned during the day.
* Sleep makes memories stronger, and it even appears to weed out irrelevant details and background information so that only the important pieces remain.
* Our brain also works during slumber to find hidden relations among memories and to solve problems we were working on while awake.

The Neurological Root Of Genius
KeY ConCEPTs
* Smarter brains tend to be bigger—at least in certain locations. Researchers have fingered parts of the parietal and frontal lobes as well as a structure called the anterior cingulate as important for superior cognition.
* Some studies suggest that the brains of brighter people use less energy to solve certain problems than those of people with lower aptitudes do. But under certain circumstances, scientists have also observed higher neuronal power consumption in individuals with superior mental capacities.
* People often overestimate the importance of intellectual ability. Practice and perseverance contribute more to accomplishment than being smart does.

Blackberry "Thunder/Storm" /HTC COke / LG Lotus reviewed
Ok, the Blackberry Thunder looks like it sucks. What's with the touch screen battles?? I'm not a fan of the touch screen keyboard. This Thunder makes you push too hard on the screen. That definitely leaves the possibility of some schmuck breaking the screen. (then again, that's his problem) The HTC Coke is too big, plus I hate Windows Mobile....when they come out with 7, call me.
Kidz in the Hall f/Estelle at SoB's

FLIP THAT SAMPLE
Tom Scott - Today
This song used in one of my favorite, arguably the most classic hip hop song ever.
"They Reminisce Over You (My God)"
Pete Rock is a genius and is in the ranks of being one of my most favorite producers.
"I Learned it by Watching You, Okay?!"
"Parents who use drugs....have kids who use drugs."
LOL Oh lawd...
Seriously, that drug filled cigar box had pipes, bags of weed and cocaine, pills, needles...damn PSA, one step at a time. If I saw that announcement and all I was doing was smoking a lil "cheeba cheeba", then I wouldn't feel so bad about myself. LOL "Hey at least I don't have all of THAT"
HBO 1983 Intro-
This intro was always exciting to see. I remember being a kid eating white bread and butter ( tsk tsk ) watching movies on a Saturday night. They had a few version throughout the years, but this one was classic!
I loved the score....
Then there is this one, very old school...punks won't let me embed it. Here's the link
