Success... Advancement...Satisfaction...Fulfillment

I believe in signs... strongly believe in signs... I like to think that its part of my connection to this higher being... to the world. To my surroundings to... you? haha. Now I sound like a nut case... and well, a little crazy is always good. Stagnation seems to plague many peoples lives.

This weekend was one of those weekends where I woke up late this crisp Sunday afternoon and started to review all the large events and small moments within the events and then the conversations that were held on the train, in the red Volvo, on the wooden floors.... I tell you NYC just adds on to the scenes that kept replaying in my mind ...
I'm not proud to say that I ran around like a mad woman with only two hours of sleep.. I had to wear sunglasses to cover the bags under my eyes (anyone up for shopping?!) but there is nothing some good sleep can't fix.

I was able to reunite with my future housemate (it will happen which is why I can say that) and some of the other DT members. We went to this spot in Queens. I am a Queens girl. I love Queens, but it isn't the most hip place... not in my eyes that is. However, it was sweet to hang out in my borough for once. Surprisingly enough all the men at this very stylish hot spot were cops and firemen. (insert wide grin here) except none were really the type of eye candy you think of when I say "fireman" (insert shrug here). But that small detail didn't matter since it was a girls night out! and well, girls will be girls. I'll put it like this, hanging with my girls is like jumping into a cool pool on a hot summer day followed by fireworks... bliss would be an understatement.

Of course I would be coaxed into a night out and then have to wake up at 7 am the next day (yeah woot, woot). I made it though! I am a responsible person (at least I try to be) and with that said... Saturday did not seem to have an end.
But... I attended this amazing/dope event by Canal street where they had a reading of two plays and then a viewing of this short documentary called "The Bigger the Hoop" which was about Latina women and the hoop earring that seems to come with the package... haha. It was funny how different females spoke about it, as well as men... It was said to be empowering, which I can agree. When I put on my big hoop earrings I feel like I have an extra swing, and pep in my step. Its like Batman and his belt... if that makes any sense. I got to mingle with some women in the media business (shout out to Latino Flavored Productions Inc).

Entonces, me dari and J to the mo headed into Bk on a quest for the rest of what ended up being an eventful night... my friend Erk Beats is (if you couldn't tell by the name) a music engineer and we got to see his loft which in 2 weeks will look like his studio & office. This dude is very talented (who wouldn't be with a mentor like SwizzBeats)... And so we found ourselves (3 chicas, a music head and a Ukrainian photographer) with a super duper old Nintendo (as in with the games that you had to blow on so they could work ... and yes, I sucked at the games again)-- a hookah, and some random Brazilian new wave jump to big pun and the rest of the goons type of music... =) awesome... sometimes my nights are just unexpected (I think its safe to say most times...) --- no the night didn't end there, but there was a grill cheese, some champagne, a Bboy (insert grin), and some ridiculous showtime dancing on the R train where I didn't know the conductor was standing behind me as I pretended to dance while holding myself to two poles... yea, that was one for the books.

Anyjuey, the title of this blog is from a series of advertisements that I saw on the train ... which caught my attention because, my goodness those four words describe exactly what I want ... and who says I can't have it...? The only limitations that exist are the ones you give yourself. The ones you make up in your own mind. You say something long enough to yourself and you start believing it... but enough about my sharing. I wanna be about it.
