Wish List!

Summer is winding down :(

I feel as though this season has been snatched from me without my permission lol. I can't even be too upset though because it has been a fun/exciting/productive summer thus far. I still have a few more things left to accomplish before I can officially say goodbye!

A trip to Dorney Park is a MUST! A massage at the spa is a MUST. Walking the Brooklyn Bridge is a MUST. Bike riding in Central Park is a MUST. Developing the many pictures I have taken is a MUST. Buying my Nikon DSLR is a MUST. AND celebrating andallthatg0odstuff.blogspot.com's birthday is a MUST!

It's birthday is less than one month away.

My baby is a Virgo and its birthday is the 31 of August! lol

How exciting? I have been blogging for almost one year! In preparation for its birthday, I need to rearrange, reorganize, reformat and redecorate the template of this here! lol Versatility at its Finest B*****S!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHAHHHHHHHHHHH

I feind so hard for these shoes, and still have not worn them yet.
These shoes are something serious.
And I need to do them justice.

Another home made bandeau
ask about me lol

Oh Word?

My word is my bond.

If I am not rich and if I cant offer you all that you want, at least you have my word if I give it to you.

It doesn't take much to keep your word.

I know it may be difficult to please others while still remaining true to yourself, but do not go against your word.

Things happen and such is life, but it will be difficult to give you all the respect you deserve if you can't respect me, and even yourself to stand by what you say.

Frankly speaking, I cannot be affiliated with people who do not stand by what they say.

No offense to anybody who has difficulty sticking to what you say, but Murielle does not appreciate people who do not stand by their word! lol

Thank you :)

Frankly speaking.

Let's get blunt for one minute.

I guess we can go back to beating around the bush after the sixty seconds is over. 

Sooooo a few coworkers and I were having a discussion earlier today, during our free time. The conversation was centered around the differences of opinion in what constitutes as cheating. Now the ratio of male to female in this conversation was approximately 3:7 respectively, but I for one can say that every one's opinion was heard and respected. There were a couple of strict and to the "T" definitions of what cheating, lol  (I mean like zero flexibility). As somebody who considers herself a feminist I bet many of you believe that I was the one who said everything was cheating. Well no lol, for once there was somebody that felt way stronger about cheating than I do.

I am not the most experienced person in the book, shiet I'm only 18 but at the same time, I do have a strong set of morals and values that I will not compromise for anybody and anything. And as much as I want to  agree with one of my friends who insisted that "If he loves me, he should not like anybody else", that is NOT my prerogative. She and I have a similar set of values and I used to have that mind set prior to witnessing, experiencing and reading. I use to believe that a guy who says he loves me should NEVER have eyes for anybody else.
Perhaps that was an insecurity within me, but maybe not? Who knows?

While it may be true that if a guy loves you, he should not be "peeping" or having feelings for other women, how realistic is that? Men are beings who are not as emotional or even as mature as women. Studies have shown that women mature quicker than their male counterparts. I may be 18, but I'm confident that I am more mature than a couple of 21 year old and perhaps even 25 year old men. But that doesn't say that I'm as mature as my 18 year old female counterparts. By no means are two people ever the exact same. Thus, it is difficult to ascertain what each person defines cheating as. Which is why I believe that it is important to establish what each person in the courting process defines as cheating.
If you as a women or even you as a man do not set those guide lines, there is ample room for "fuckery" and "cheating".

As a young women who demands respect with my speech as well as my behavior, I believe that I should be the only female that you give your "all" to. But how feasible is that? Hmm I don't think it is in this day and age. lol I still believe that chivalry is extremely ill and on its death bed.

As Sally pointed out, some women do feel as though they should be the ONE AND ONLY. Meaning that you should not have eyes for other women. Do not flirt with other women, do not entertain other women, do not spend time with other women that I do not know, do not, do not, do not. lol And that coincides with what Ay said as well. She said something along the lines of "everything is cheating". Lol huh? What I believe she meant by that is, if you cannot do it in front of your "significant other" than it's cheating. And I agree whole heartedly. But at the same time, it is important to understand the way a guy goes about things, prior to being in a relationship.

While I will NEVER completely comprehend why men behave a certain way or why men make decisions without having a long and healthy thought process, I do understand why they may have eyes for somebody else.According to big brother Griff, "no individual will have everything that you want." AND I AGREE. As much as I boast about "my type", this "type" is non existent. But I do have the right to aspire to find such "type". You will never find everything you want or need in a single individual. But at the same time, if you are in love and in a relationship, I believe that it is important to set aside your "type" and all your desires and commit and be honest with your significant other.

Nobody is perfect, but there is someone out there who is perfect for you. Nothing in life lasts forever either, so if you feel as though you can find somebody out there that you can love that has more of the qualities or characteristics that you desire than so be it. Be man or women enough to break it to your girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse and say.."I love you but we are wasting our time, because I'm just thinking about all the things that I COULD have in somebody else." That's a "it's not you it's me, scenario". lol That is when that quote can really come in handy. DO not string the person you love around just because you feel obligated to stay. Love does not mean that you must stay and be monogamous, at least in my opinion. If you love somebody, let him/her go. Love that person enough to move on and explore the conceptions and "type" you have in your mind.

And if you feel as though you are done with testing the waters, and exploring your options, so be it. However, It will be up to the person you love to decide whether or not you are worthy of his/her time again. Everybody deserves at least a second chance :)

xoxo!

She walks away,
the sun goes down..
he takes the day but I'm gone....
and in your way in this blue shade,
my tears dry on thier own.

"He can only hold her for so long,

the lights are on, but no ones home.

And she's so vacant, her soul is taken,

she thinks...what she running from?

Now, how can we have her heart?

When it...got stole.

So he tries to pacify her,

but what's inside her never dies."

This is a challenge

I challenge you to believe nothing that you've heard and only 2% of what you see. And to not judge me based on one move that I make. And to not moniter every step that I take.

Soul-Star

Soul for days. Hair taller than any sky scrapper in New York city. Moves like a jazz musician. Tattoos that would make you break your neck. Suberbian upbringing. A rebellious swag. Lyrics that are real and valid. Skin like Casper but the vocals would fool you into believing she was an ethnic women. Five Grammy awards. Pumps that made her so irresistible. A husband that would introduce her to a life that would be the death of her. Rehabilitation that never worked. A friend named Valerie who lived too far. A father who worked as a cab driver.

Amy Winehouse was the epitome of amazing. Her lyrics and style captivated me at such an early age. I can think as far back as middle school, when I first caught wind of Ms. Winehouse and her classic voice. Her beehive hair and cat eye make up was something serious. Her photos took over my Myspace page because here beauty was bold and misunderstood.

 People never comprehended why I admired her work.I would shout through the hallways at school and express my love for her craft and voice. Amy Winehouse was the first artist from the United Kingdom that I really listened to.I believe she set the precedent for Joss Stone, Adele and Estelle. I was patiently waiting for Amy to get better so that she could come back with a vengeance. Less than a month ago, I posted one of my favorite songs by her, here on andallthag0odstuff.  I expressed how much I could not wait for her to get better and even thought as far as a collaboration with another soul star, Adele.

Unfortunately, that day will never arrive. Her death really shocked me due to the fact that I was convinced she was getting better. She was clearly convinced that she was well enough to tour Europe. I am a firm believer that "only the good die young", just as Billy Joel's song suggested. Amy was only 27 and her life had barely taken off. She did not reach her fullest potential but alcoholism and drug use took her before she could show the world what she was really made of.

 

Rest In Peace Amy Jade Winehouse

Naa they won't

Disrespect me,

I really hope they don't.

When I feel disrespected, all hell will break free.

I mean go to Heaven and God bless you, but DO NOT,

ever think that it is ok to disrespect my face,

my life, my culture, my family, or anything that I give great importance to.

I can't and will not deal with it.

I think I need a barber..none of these broads can fade me...

but then again I'm going to keep my hair dresser,

because none of these dudes can take me

:)

Behind every good man, there is a fantastic women.

Nevertheless, behind Murielle there are very few great men, and then there are the ones with no manners,

GREAT MINDS MAN!

------------------------------------------------------------

The beat muffled by the squishing sound of heavy fluid, the ultra sound

the doctor says the rhythm is weak but this one's a fighter

see my heart's journey began.....in the womb

but unprepared it was for the life it would endure

at age 2 your heart knows nothing but love

an innocence now tainted by jealousy

age 5, then the heart that once pumped a blood so pure

once beat a heavy beat of love-once knew no danger

now learns hate,

age 12, but blame not the heat for the ill it learns for-

it started a little earlier, the problem

age 9, see everyone says a child is too young to love

but his first girlfriend kissed another boy Tom,

or her boyfriend chose to play video games instead of dad....and mom

then the heart learned hurt.

I said it before and I will say it again, I respect others and they're craft. I am not the only one who blogs which is why I love to showcase and demonstrate the creativity and work of others on here with my "Daily Fabs" and my "Spoken". Keeping the good stuff flowing is self explanatory but I believe that I should clarify. This here is not centered on me. I am the editor and chief and I created this thing almost a year ago because I wanted a new outlet to express myself. This doesn't mean I won't do it via FB or other social networking sites. It just means that I wanted to cultivate my own. Transcending the status quo and the "quar body" is imperative. I would love to show case anybody or anything worthy of showcasing. I refrain from showcasing things that are offensive or may cause any tension. But I like things that keep the mind juices flowing. I love that people can always share ideas/ "Great minds think alike and for themselves". Envy is Ignorance and Imitation is suicide/"Truth no matter who tells it, and justice no matter who it is for or against". Versatility at it's finest lol/amazingness all around.

Someone has to lead and someone has to follow! LOVE.POWER.& Respect.

Jah Bless, God bless, Success....

AND ALL THAT G0OD STUFF LOL.

WITH THAT BEING SAID....

I wanted to show a couple of things from one great blog that I support. Very creative and the dynamic of both authors is amazing. I support versatility all day!. I respect all ideas but stagnation is not for me lol!

Thank goodness "blogger" is a product of Google though ha ha ha! lol

If you think I don't rep. I am Haiti all day. I'm coming kind of soft but I have something to say. I am ELLE, em you are, I am steady stunting but I don't need a car.

 HA HA HA! Funny little wack rhyme. But shout out to Haiti!!

Very long but empowering day. I would explain in detail but I feel like I wouldn't be doing you justice.Along with my peers, I had the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia as well as Newark. I was able to see the more kept part of Philly. But more importantly I was able to support a cause that was other centered. Being able to participate in such activity is really assisting in a process of growth and development for myself, my peers, my mentors and the workers. I would love to explain more, but this is simply a brief update of what has been happening. I will be back late rin the week to elaborate. Right now I am suffering from fatigue yet I have enough energy to be writing this lol! SELF EXPLANATORY! The youth brigade is doing great things!

Great weekend. Didn't get a chance to catch up on a lot of sleep, but I had a lot of fun. Tried hookah for the first time, and attended a Nigerian party. I never sweat so much in my life lol. Crazy!! But I'm good! Now I get to go to work tomorrow and have fun with my fellow amazing peers!

Daily Fab

Gorgeous!!!!!!! Her skin is FLAWLESS and this color is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Kourtney looking dapper as usual. Kim...well looking like Kim lol. Ugh Kourtney's get up speaks volumes! Very classic and refined.
Sexy and versatile. Ugh LOVES IT!

Aren't they the cutest?
I graduated from high school with the two of these guys. They have a strong bromance that cannot be broken and I love it.
They were clearly very lax at the Williamsburg Water Front for the Kid Cudi concert that took place on Tuesday.
I appreciate the photographer and the stance of the two of them lol. (As you can see I'm very analytical) I can give you a philosophical approach as well, but that would take too long. I appreciate Brandon's (Left) basic tank with the detailing on the pocket. And the contrasted Gucci vans are way too cute, and very abstract! (I'm pretty sure they are Gucci, don't quote me on it though. It's late at night right now lol). He is employed at one of Brooklyn's hottest boutiques: The Brooklyn Circus.
Now as for Sergio, he already knows how I feel about him. I recognized his swag during the final year of high school and I'm a bit disappointed about that. However, I do appreciate his get up as well. I'm not sure of the brand that he is wearing, but I do like the "X" and the contrasted colors on the tank. As for the vans, I would have to say I love! The stars are very patriotic lol.
I'm gonna wrap it up, but I can do on for days about this picture. I appreciate their relaxed swagga! And Sergio already knows......that he has a spot in my life as my potential husband just in case I do not find someone more chocolaty lol.

Spoken.

Now I don't want to be politically correct, I actually want to be out spokenly accurate. And I don't mean to disrespect, because I desire to be treated like I have a heart beating inside my chest. And this means that I'm alive. But my question is am I'm living? I mean because the two are not mutually exclusive. I mean just because I breathe and I wake up and I can see, doesn't mean I really see. And just because you see these Michael Kors frames on me, doesn't mean that I can TRULY see. Because I believe there are people out there struggling way more than yours truly. That some people are fighting to live. But I'm just living to fight for them, and like the late Gil Scott Heron, the revolution will not be televised. And I'm not talking about when Clifford Harris quoted this either. Because he is incarcerated right now for something he could have prevented. I mean..... he said: "Big booty, better thighs, I ain't want to tell her bye." But also like he once stated: You might have seen me in the streets but baby you don't know me. So when I tell you that I need to be respected don't take it personally. Because this is personal for ME. This can be personal for you too. But quite frankly I'm not thinking about your feelings boo. Due to the fact that you continue to degrade yourself and try to do me the same in the process. But God bless, I'm success and you can get the EFF from around me. Lol J. Cole reference. I like his lyric and his craft,.... I respect it, and like Olubwa said too, I'm a black girl who deserves the world. Who deserves the title, but I don't need to be labeled. I don't need to be put into a hegemonic box. But the system is so corrupt that it is trying to keep me in that spot. But I have to move, and so should you. Because if we move together we can organize the youth. And we all know that the youth is the future. Pac said it best, prior to when he was laid to rest. We have to be the movers and shakers, not the ones who are moved and shaken. I mean the later and former, we can collaborate the two. We can make it about me, you, and them too! We can make it about way more than a few. And I'm sure you know what defines the word few. I don't need to reference it. Because we are aware that few is the people who give a fuck about our future. We have people who want to see us fall, but Imma give it to you like this: We will be more powerful than the Democratic ball.

Perhaps more like the Republicans?................. On second thought I rather not be compared, but unlike Jay Z it's not because I'm scared..or cocky. Lol although we share a zodiac sign, he is a lot unlike me. He is way more greedy. And I respect his craft but Jay Z is Illuminati. But I won't get into that, that's for another rap. I mean this isn't technically a "rap" but right now...it's a WRAP!

Now I don't mean to be "outspokenly" correct, or perhaps I do but, I'm not quite certain that chasing my dreams is enough.

And although an effort is always better than sloth, I believe that catching my dreams would be much better.

It would be much cooler,.....much more "poppin". And I wear these earrings not only because they are attractive and pretty, but because I believe in catching as opposed to chasing my dreams.



Eff it WE'RE on 39!

I'm feeling so empowered, I haven't felt this way since I was 14. No. I lied for rhyming purposes, I actually haven't felt this way EVER in my 18 years of living. Here's why:

I have an internship that is in the business of changing the lives of others. The internship that I have been blessed with is very "other centered". It forces me to think critically and transcend any obstacles that I have faced in the past. For some people, an internship at a magazine or a high end designer, is a dream come true. But my internship at the Service Employees International Union (division will remain unrevealed), is more than I can ever dream. I am very excited and privileged to be an active member of something that will both change my life and change the lives of other people. I am more than greatful that all the contractors at the other jobs and internships that I applied for, never hired me. Because, more than likely, I would have taken a job at a magazine or PR firm prior to taking this position. And it's because I have been focused so much on implementing a plan that I have organized in my mind. Nevertheless, God works in mysterious ways, and has led me to SEIU. I don't want to prophesize or make it seem as though this job is PERFECT, or that it has already changed my life. But it is as amazing as amazing gets, and I know that by the end of the program, my life WILL be altered. I collaborate with 39 other intellectual, empowering, talented and beautiful individuals. I don't want to say "work with", because it is way more than "work" it is way beyond that. I firmly believe that we are family at this point lol. I feel so connected to each and every person.

We come from various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious standpoints but we are so much alike. And our differences are so strong that it unites us even more. We all possess the same potential to succeed and empower other individuals, like we are being taught to do. I feel as though I dodged a bullet when I did not hear back from potential employers. I feel as though I was called to  be apart of something WAY bigger than me, or any single individual. I thank God "they" blew it. They in the former sentence, being the employers who decided not to call me back for an interview. It sucks to be them right now lol. And it doesn't suck to be me right now lol. One of my peers who I can now call a friend said it BEST during today's discussion. Something along the lines of:
 It sucks to be the people interning at Goldman Saks and all the other corporate  jobs. 

And that is not to discredit the interns, or Corporate America, but then again it is lol. Those internships will NEVER amount to the internship that I and 39 other people have right now. Lol and it may sound bias and ignorant but I'm just speaking my piece.

To be frank with everyone, I have already had the opportunity to change some body's life. We have participated in a protest. I won't get too much into detail about it but my peers know. They are on it, lol they are SWAGGED OUT as we would say over on the 18th Floor of the building! lol SWAGGA!

The past few days have been filled with mixed emotions. I received both good and bad news. I have felt nervous, excited, tired, drained, empowered, loved and appreciated. The plethora of emotions that I just shared are extremely amazing. Lol I feel great and this is only the beginning of a six week program. I am confident that I will continue to feel like this for the next five weeks but if not, it's still all good. My peers and I will continue to be a family no matter WHAT. Because we are SWAGGA! lol.

Ok let me stop bragging now. I'm off to eat some food my momma made. Lol I'll keep anyone who is interested posted on our endeavors. "Our " as in my peers and I. ! lol

P.S I didn't get into explaining and discussing our mentors, because that deserves a post all by itself. Lol trust me, I'll get into that soon! They are simply amazing people! And that's it!

Happy Birthday Momma!

Today my mom celebrates her ** year old birthday.Age will not be disclosed. My mom is very private and doesn't even want her photos on social networking sites. But she is just to fabulous for me not to share with you guys lol. She is rocking this Michale Kors dress right now. Be jealous!

Daily Fab

Yes!

I have no issues with commitment but at this point in my life I don't desire to be in a committed relationship. I am only 18 and a perfect couple is only in a dream. I rather be single and enjoy my youth and explore all my options now.I'd love to date, if guys are willing to take me on a date and not expect anything in return. NO strings attached, no feelings involved, just good clean fun! It's summer time and there is no problem with summer time crushin'. I'd love a summer time crush!

Spoken.

Ten things I would like to say to a black man.

1. I believe in you and all of your potential. You have been left out in the trenches to rot and continue to be entrenched in sorrow and unfortunate situations. But you can do better. And you will do better.
2. Your skin is as beautiful as the mohogany trees that fill the forests and woods across the universe. You are as powerful and amazing as the ancient kings of Africa.
3. I apologize for all of the cops and ignorant people who stop you and assume that you are doing wrong.
4.Sean Bell and Dj Henry's lives within each and every one of you. They both were victims of the NYPD and justice will be served in thier honor.
5. I wish I could just forever have your brawny shoulders and arms wrapped around me to keep me warm at night.
