R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson

August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

.. that's something i thought i would never ever have to say. I am truly saddened by this, especially since im a huge fan of his music, style, movies, etc. Surely, im not the only person who feels this way. I send my dearest condolences to him and his family .. and to all the fans who are just as hurt by this as i am. Although Michael isn't here with us anymore, he is in a much better place. His soul, music and legacy will live on with us forever. .. :-)

i have an obvious love for ...

H Y E N A ' S !!!

I've been loving hyena's for some time now. They're my favorite animal in tha whole "wild" world. Its cool to me how they roll around in packs, steal food, and fight animals for the respect they already know they have. They remain vicious .. and i love vicious ! Ahh, my lil troublemakers. LOL too bad its frickin impossible for me to ever own one. (heavy sigh) ..

its cool though, since secretly, there's a hyena living within me. justttt kiddinnn .. or am i ? (this is the part where you wonder if im playing or start to believe im just plain crazy. lmao)

hey now, don't be judging ! :-)

how i choose to live my life : GREEN !

To tha right is a pic of my first tattoo; its dedicated to our wonderful planet.

not only is GREEN my favorite color, its also my way of life. i'm one of those organic, earth loving, hippie kinda people. i'll admit though, i wasn't always like this, especially as a child. But as i became older & more aware of tha earth's issues, i began to think : What can i do to help this wonderful place we all call home ? it took me some time, but slowly i learned how to recycle (something i never cared to do), i stopped littering, turning appliances off when i wasn't using them, and ultimately encouraging others to do tha same.

These are some of the simple things that come with "going green", because (im not going to lie) in tha beginning its kinda hard. Now that im officially living green, i do far more than just recycle & unplug things. thats another post though. lol .. Bottom line is, i love tha earth & everything in it ! AND I THINK EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD TOO !! tha earth won't be here forever, believe it or not and until than i think everyone needs to take care & respect it :-)

alright, enough green talk. til next time kiddos ..

my first post. ahhhh !

alright, so this is my first post ..

& i think you guys deserve a brief description of me.

i'm 19, in college & instead of me rambling here's a

quote from a Gnarls Barkley song that i feel describes me perfectly :

"i prefer peace, wouldn't have to have one worldly possession. But

essentially i'm an animal .. so just what do i do w all the aggression ?"

so there you have it.

Tifah : Untameable Hyena

i'll further discuss my weirdness in a later post.

byeeee :-)
