YOGA!

yep, i have started doing yoga and i must admit that i am a fan ;] it isn't like other workouts or exercise techniques, it's gentle, calming, and cool! people say it has really changed their lives. I think that if you do yoga, it can help to "realign your body", in a certain way, but that's as far as I'm going to go with the "changing your life" theory. once they get into the "glowing light flowing through your body, making you healthier, with better habits, and a better lifestyle", i usually hold the position, but i mute my computer and put on my "Hobbit Theme" music ;] it does really make you feel great, stretching and strengthening, but the spirituality thing is nuts. REALLY NUTS. if you ever buy a yoga book, buy on that i specifically for poses, and then it's a good idea to skip the introduction or prologue or whatever :P

i can't really find a yoga dvd that i like, one that isn't just Beginners, but I'm not quite ready for some of the harder Intermediate yoga poses. Any suggestions? Right now I've made up my own routine, but i would like a dvd or something like that. They have some stuff on YouTube, but still, I'd rather get it off Netflix or something.

And there's another thing: I can't stand the yoga instructors that are trying to be calm and soothing with their voice and fail miserably; especially the men. you know you've heard those voices that try to be nice and calm and soothing, but in your ears the voice sounds worse than something grating on metal, yeah, i can't stand that.

I would also like a yoga program that gives more attention to abs. i got a yoga dvd in the mail from Netflix, and I am sending it back today. Grating on metal voice from a male instructor, two interesting instructors for the poses, it mostly centered on legs, and they got into the "streaming light" stuff. ick.

so if anyone reads this and has any suggestions, please comment! thanks!

dear world...

dear world,

you are back on my good side as you have provided a tie-dye background on blogger.

thank you.


(P.S. i posted a bit on the much ado about writing page or whatever it's called. I may rename that....)

dear world,

i have a few complaints concerning you.

first, may i say that your so called "commercials" last night left me writhing. Seriously, so cheesy all i needed was some chips. And that is why i only watch Young Justice, Star Wars, and Ben 10 on cartoon network on friday night. and i don't watch tv any other day either. this is why. and honestly, i'm about ready to forget Ben 10 and move on.

secondly, your little inappropriate "humor" last night that thankfully went over my little brother's heads was not at all necessary. honestly, you know that there are going to be kids under 10 watching this channel, could you please be a little more sensitive to the - stuff - you are putting into their heads? maybe?

and last but not least, i would like to include a little note to our internet provider, Comcast.

Dear comcast,

i am not thrilled with you at all. would you please consider actually doing what we pay you to do and actually providing our internet service? thanks.

beauty tips from an expert

For attractive lips,

speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,

seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,

share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,

let a child run his or her fingers

through it once a day.

For poise,

walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be

restored,

renewed,

revived,

reclaimed,

and redeemed;

never throw out anyone.

a little thing......

i got this from my Meme's house and i thought i'd share it. my Aunt made this, it's a little pill bottle filled with cute little sayings and advice! and the bigger jar is a little game i made up, for when the blue moon arrives, i must clean my room! so i made a little game out of it. i just put the different parts of my room, [ desk, left side of bed, closet...] and such on paper and pick one from the jar. but i decided to turn it into the place i put the quotes i've already read. it said 'Savings' ~which didn't last long~ i turned it into 'Sayings' ;]





[P.S.~ check out my little brother, Nick's, new blog that i'll blog on sometimes too!!!]

beauty in the simple things......
