My Favorites...Right Now
1. Jamaican Rum Cake w/ vanilla ice cream! (Thanx Mrs. Wallace!)
2. Drake.... I have downloaded almost all of his works! Check him out: this one rocks...especially bun b's verse, although I got cursed out today by someone who thought Lil' Waynes verse was fire!
I've been playing Closer to My Dreams, ft. Andreena Mills, and Successful, ft. Trey Songs, over and over again!
3. Wale and his ever so clever Mixtape About Nothing. Confession: I've been feeling Wale for over a year now. I just wanted to publicly announce it. :)
4. The colors Teal and Orange
5. Subway's $5 footlongs = Tuna for lunch and dinner!
6. B-More. Yes, I am surprised too. But theres more to do in baltimore than I thought. I found a cool little shop up the street from Penn Station: Mud and Metal

#65 Watch a Sunset
Ok, so in a nutshell..
No Hirshhorn...No Holocaust.
BUT...
I caught a sunset from the train!
I know that this is not what I originally meant when I wrote my 101 in 1001... I had a dreamy, romanticised version in my mind. But never the less, I had an opportunity to admire its beauty by myself...in a moving locomotive. It was still breathtaking and made me appreciative of every second I have in this world.
Also last weekend, I saw Watchmen and half of The Reader, before I dozed off.
The weekend was filled with rest and laughs :)
I'm off this Sunday and Monday!! What shall I do?!?!?
