Merry Christine

Yesterday, I was wrapping presents in my workshop and after the news a soap opera came on. This stuffy british dude made the comment on him not having enough time to read all of the “brag letters” and what happened to good old Christmas cards saying have a great holiday and happy new year?

Then, my mail came and sure enough, I got my first group of “brag letters”. I was laughing to myself because I got THREE of them!

Just my OPINION, remember. But I think it interesting, with all we have to do, and barely enough time to even VISIT people now days. I guess we can all read them while doing cardio? And it always seems like we get those letters from the people we care about the least anyway. Think about that. The ones we do care about, we pick up the phone and talk to anyway.

I like to buy traditional cards and say Happy Holidays, thinking of you………..me. Nostalgia is very important.

So, surfing this morning I come across this natural eating magazine from some publisher company I am familiar with. Since I know them I immediately went on line to order, especially since the promo for it said COMPLETELY NATURAL, NO FOODS PROCESSED BY MAN. Okay, so I order it. Then, I go to the online part of the magazine and the VERY first recipe I read calls for masala, OR low sodium chicken broth. Not to disrespect, but, I really thought I was going to click on the recipe and read the ingredients for making the masala also. You read the ingredients in “low sodium chicken broth” and even the ORGANIC labels have “organic cane juice”, as well as other crap. It just never gets real.

There IS a website that I use on a regular basis www.sunfood.com , Sunfood Nutrition. A friend named Carmen Garcia turned me onto that site and I order a LOT of stuff from it. Completely clean, honest to goodness whole foods. They are into the completely raw way of eating, and not so much into meat, so there is where I draw the line, but I get a lot of stuff from them. For instance, Cacao. Check out the reality of that subject. If it is not raw, or processed in a cold manner, it does not contain the properties that the majority pushes on us. I always have 100% raw cacao beans here in the refrigerator.

So, the best thing I have to say a shout out to is the fact that one of the two dearest friends I have from the industry has finally let out and I am allowed to say DAVANA HAS HAD HER BABY AND SHE IS THREE MONTHS OLD AND WAS BORN ON 9/11, AND HER NAME IS DAVELA!!!! I could have killed her for not telling me, but I totally understand. With all of the crap she has been through, she and her husband kept it to themselves and she was very careful to keep her health and now they are very proud parents to the mini “Diva”……………………………

The other of the two is on his way here to hang out in the snowy hills for a couple of days to chill out in the mountains, Big Daddy X-Man. Toney is my kindred spirit and he inspires me like no other. I am so happy and excited for him too, for he has a whole new turn in his life that is making him the happiest I have ever seen him.

I have had a huge amount of people asking me if I am going to be attending the Arnold. I am about 50/50 on it this year. If I go, it will mainly be because Toney is competing, and then my darling Island friends, Millie and Winston will be competing in the Arnold Amateur Bodybuilding. So I will try to make the time to do that. As far as people wanting to see me there, and visa versa. Dang! You know how hard that is?? Any other show you can guarantee to meet someone, somewhere at a show, but the Arnold? Columbus Ohio is insane that weekend. I will know by mid January if I am going.

I am going to be starting my 08 suits January 1st. I will at some point put up some of my 2007 suits to show off my art from last year. I have a totally grooooooovy new webmaster that has no “issues” and he is incredibly advanced in the website stuff. So my couture site, and the MCB site will be gradually changing. The MCB site will be changing for the better. It will be much easier to access the pages and order form. Sorry for the amatuer way it has been. It will be much better in 08 and so will the product. I just needed to find someone who really knew how to put a site together.

If I don’t get back on here before Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL THAT READ THIS!!!

Okay so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,since I am just starting this whole blog thing, which means I can be politically correct, or, put my a– out here and possibly cause a bit of a rumble. I choose to express my “opinions” and it is to be noted ONLY MY OPINIONS, which are like a – holes, EVERYONE HAS ONE. Right??

That being said, I run four miles in the wilderness with my girls, Lucy and Lola, the most precious American Pit Bull Terriers. No IPod, just peace and quiet. At this time I ponder just about everything possible. So this morning when I was running I had these incredible revelations in my head. I was so excited to get back and put them on my first blog. Now I sit here and can’t for the LIFE of my remember what the hell it was!

I do, however have one thing to discuss. I am baffled by the amount of poeple that try to push the “perfect” health product out there by saying, “This is by far most the most perfect antioxidant, live giving properties of all foods”. If we all took the amount of “junk” that people are trying to push on us to “healthy”, I think we would be dead from liver disease.

There is NO such thing as a “perfect pill”, or “supplement”. This whole BS of companies pushing the issue of us not being able to eat the amount of fruits and vegetables we are suppose to eat to survive, therefore we need to take “pills” to make up for that?????? Gawd! I am just going to leave it at that…………………nuff said, leave it.

Okay back to work…………………xo

Okay, so, this is my very first “Blaaawg”! How cool is this!!!!I am hanging out at Michal’s gym, Temple of health, with my groovy teacher.So I am jacked. Really cool people just chillin. Oh,,,,,duh,,,,,,I forgot some people here are getting their asses kicked!! Hehe…………
