Mike Song’s ( @MikeOSong ) choreo to Skrillex - First of the Year.

It’s safe to say he MURKED this song! Kudos to mike. He’s been around for a while (check out his YOMAMA crew days on youtube as well) but is still NOICE!

Kayy’s Piece of Mind 11

Friends, Lovers, or Nothing. 

In our society we like to have everything in somewhat order. Every person has their place, their spot in society. We tend to try and apply this to feelings and love. But we are wrong. Love and feelings can never be put in order or truly defined. Love is as different as the DNA of the person who feels it. One person might fall in love with someone that another person might find revolting. It all depends on their perception. Many are confused when they are forced to choose if they are “just friends” with someone or something more. It’s hard to tell sometimes but feelings fluctuate with time, things change, people change. Don’t attempt to deny the feelings you have for someone just because at the time you don’t know if it’ll make sense. Think about it, nothing ever makes sense until it makes sense. If you are friends with someone, be happy. If you are in love with someone, be happy. If you are in essence “nothing” with someone, be happy. Things are always subject to change, today you might be friends and tomorrow you might be lovers. Today you might be nothing and tomorrow you might be lovers.  Only time knows this so just go with the flow. Enjoy life whether you are friends, lovers, or nothing. 

Thanks to John Mayer for his song “Friends, Lovers or Nothing”. Made a great topic for me. :)

Kayy’s Piece of Mind 10

Education Is More Than School

From the moment we were born we have been trained to progress in the natural cycle of life. Learn how to use your fingers and toes. Learn how to crawl. Learn how to walk. Learn how to talk. Then, school is imposed upon most of us. School is a structured form of learning that sprung from the idea of holism. It, basically, encourages a person to be the best that they can be at all they can. Thus, the array of classes offered in schools. For example, english, social studies, mathematics, science, and so forth. I personally have no problem with the idea of going to school. It has produced some of the most brilliant people in the world. But as a human race we tend to rely on this “education system” as the only approach to enlightening one’s mind. It takes more than sitting in a room and information being drilled into your head. For some people, it takes life experiences to learn anything. They, in essence, live and then learn. Not all minds are capable of retaining information just by listening. Some minds are triggered by kinetics. They need action. All I’m saying is, is don’t just rely on the typical “education” system as your only means of learning. Go out and experience life. Be an adventurer and excite the different parts of your brain. Always be open to new and different learning experience. Your brain loves new information in various forms. 

P.S. A degree doesn’t look too shabby hanging on your wall tho.

Stupid Ol’ Opinions

Now everyone should know, everyone is going to have an opinion about something. Someone might have an opinion about your hair, your walk, your talk, your city, your mother, your siblings. But guess what, that’s their opinion. Last time I checked, opinions were not facts. Opinions are the expression of someones feelings. Feelings are something that fluctuate with the wind. So why listen to something so fickle as someones opinion. For all those insecure people who let others words and actions dictate their lives, STOP IT! You were made an individual to have individual ideas, likes, and dislikes. You don’t have to impress someone else. Be who you are and think more of your opinion of yourself than others opinions of you. After all, they didn’t make you so who are they to break you?

Culinary Hearts

The popular Jamaican seasoning called “Jerk” is a combination of spices and condiments blended together to give a hot, spicy flavor to your meat, poultry or fish.  This unique seasoning is a paste that is rubbed on the meat and left to soak, or marinade into the meat for a period of time until cooking time.  Original Jerk meat is put on a grill and cooked through thoroughly.  However, I would like to share with you an abbreviated version of Jerk that you and your family can enjoy. Get ready for a taste of the islands in this Jerk Chicken Wings recipe.  You can grill your Jerk Wings, or you can bake it them in the oven for a more moist texture.  

For the Jerk marinade you will need:

¼ cup orange juice

4 tbsp lemon or lime juice

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp chopped thyme

1 tbsp chopped garlic

1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger

½ tsp ground allspice

½ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp cinnamon

½ cup cooking oil

½ cup Jamaican Jerk seasoning

and

12 large chicken wings

Directions:

1.      Wash chicken wings in lemon and water.  Separate at the joints and remove the tips if desired.

2.      Mix together all the ingredients above and whisk until it is blended well.

3.      Pour ¾ of the Jerk marinade into a large ziplock bag. Put up the other ¼ of the Jerk marinade in the refrigerator until grilling time.

4.      Add the chicken wings to the bag of marinade and massage thoroughly. Place in refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.

Grilling Directions:

1.      Preheat grill.

2.      Remove the wings from the bag and discard the used marinade.

3.      Season chicken wings with the salt and pepper.

4.      Place wing on the hottest part of the grill and sear for about 4 minutes of each side.

5.      Move the wings to a cooler part of the grill. Baste with the remainder of the jerk marinade and allow to cook through completely.

Baking Directions:

1.      Preheat oven to 350˚F.

2.      Discard used Jerk marinade and season chicken wings with salt and pepper.

3.       Place wings in a baking dish and pour the ¼ cup of reserved marinade on to on the wings. Tip a little water in the dish if desired to help create a gravy.

4.      Cover the dish with foil and bake covered for30 minutes.

5.      Uncover and bake for another 30 – 45 minutes or until brown and cooked through.

 

From my heart to yours,

Lady Leisure
