Emily
Your no-nonsense type of girl. She’s bluntly honest, prefers to get straight to the point, and does not look back. A personality that is aligned with the phrase “carpe diem”, what’s there is there. Filled with wonder and curiosity, she likes to take on the world in black and white. There is no gray for Emily.

Helen
You could say she’s the softer side of Boogers & Poop. But by no means does softer mean weaker. A strong people-person through and through, she sets her watch to “love everybody”. Compassion and idealism with a dash of silliness, her name is Helen.

From our one and only: P.N.

Love to Love You

I have this yearning, this need to love everybody. Love my family, my friends, my neighbors, the haters, and even love my enemies.

Harboring hate is so difficult for me, and I would like to assume for you too. It causes too much stress, inflicts too much pain, and simply wastes too much energy.

When the world starts telling you things like you’re too nice, weird, ignorant, naive, stupid, weak, etc. for wanting to love everybody, that makes me wonder.  When did wanting to love your kind become a bad thing? Is it really me? Am I the one with problems? Or is it everyone else?

If everyone told me that I was too idealistic, does that warrant me to stop being so? Now if everyone decides to do so and start being a little more cynical, guarded, and un-idealistic or as many would like to correct me “more REALISTIC”, how would the world heal? How do things get better? Now who’s setting an example for what?

Does it get better because no one trusts anyone? Does all the pain go away because we learn to distance ourselves from one another? Does it get better when the meaning of All for One and One for All becomes Me and My Circle First?

When people say “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”, does that mean be a bitch so you won’t get hurt again? Be bitter because the world is an ugly place?

All these questions with such debatable answers. 

I think I’ll stick with my so-called ideal ways.

Please don’t call me ignorant, I’m far from, through my own mistakes and learning from others. I know the world is full of more than just angry, mean people, but I choose to be ideal; I feel more peaceful that way.

I too have been kicked, stabbed, and spat on. It didn’t kill me, so let it help me grow a thicker skin in case it happens again. I refuse to live in fear or grow bitter.

I’ll continue to come back in head strong with twice the amount of love to give. This time, with more caution and better judgment of course. I refuse to give up my “being nice”. There’s just too much love to give and receive to live my life any other way.

The love I feel from others is always more than enough to help me put the negative experiences in a place where I’ll only use as a reminder when needed.

That way I will never hinder myself from being vulnerable to loving others and being loved.

Whether you’re Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist, Hindu, black, white, blue, green, yellow, tall, short, wide, narrow, etc. etc. it doesn’t matter, I love people. I love you.

I’m grateful for my ability to forgive. I am even more grateful for my ability to love.

One thing I learned growing up and refuse to ever forget,

Jesus said love everybody. That’s what I know.

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.

Big Kid Now

Want change in your life?

Then make changes in your life.

Don’t want to screw others along the way?

Be responsible, prioritize.

Most things worthwhile don’t come easy.

Be proud of your accomplishments,

not too proud to admit mistakes.

Life might be difficult,

but staying positive can make it easier.

Life can get rough and tough,

but a good attitude makes it more enjoyable.

Just STOP TALKING and START DOING.

Unit then, STOP WHINING.

  • Determination, dedication, and perseverance, characteristics you should learn and practice. 
  •  Be kind to others; you will never be alone. There can never be too many random acts of kindness.

Life is wonderful.

Life is meaningful.

Life becomes what you make of it.

Come in with nothing, give your everything, leave with something (invaluable). We entered the world this way.  Why not live and leave the world this way?

If you lack reason, think about LOVE for HUMANITY.

It’s Universal.

Many tell me that math is the universal language, but I couldn’t agree.  Though it seems likely and the word does start with the letter M, they only came close. 

The real universal language is Music.  It knows no boundaries.

That, and because we are ALL born with a beat.

Love & Exercise

Could it be that Love is really an exercise? First of all, you need to choose to love in order to love.  It is something you consciously do; with great effort might I add.  In so many ways is Love an exercise. 

Not every exercise is for your body type. Some want to get tone, thinner, more muscles, or just thicker. Well, not every guy or girl or anything in between may be your kind.  In both love and exercise, you can easily be fooled that something is for you when it really is not, you might mess up from time to time, and if you push too hard, you might hurt yourself.  At any rate, it is okay for a friend, mentor, trainer, or lover to step in and tell you where you went wrong.

Then there’s the warm up.  You run to get your heart started and blood pumping, that way you’re ready for the real stuff.  You take her to dinner, you tell him you love his style, you court each other.  Get the juices flowing, butterflies fluttering, and heart racing. 

It’s time to start your session.  You run, do abs, yoga, Pilates, lift weights, circuit training, Billy’s boot camp, dance, swim, etc. etc., whatever you choose to keep the heart rate up.  Now here is what I’m coming at comparing the two.

You guys seal the deal.  You don’t realize it, but this is where the real work begins and it never really ends.  In order to stay in love, you work at it.  You simply can’t put yourself on cruise control and expect results. On top of that, practice makes perfect. 

Commonly forgotten rules in Love & Exercise:

1.       You can’t do the same routine day in and day out and expect it to not get old.  Your body will stop reacting because it has acquired the exercise and it no longer has the same effect.  Your girl/guy/significant other may get bored and it won’t be what it us to be.

2.       Now that you have read rule #1, here’s the next: Change it up and/or try new things. 

3.       This might be hard to believe for many, but JUST love and exercise is NOT enough.  You need a good diet for the ultimate power combo; healthy habits and reduced stress included is even better.  You need to be reminded and to remind that the love is there.  Put it in continual action in all you do.

4.       Love and exercise could be, but is NOT a game.  It is work with a positive outcome if executed correctly.  It’s ongoing, never ending, result driven work. Trust me, I say it’s worth the run.

5.       Patience should be essential.  Rush into it and it could be bad.  You might get results, but it also might not be the best.  You lose weight too fast, you could quickly gain it right back.  Well, you can also fall into love as quickly as you fall out of love.

6.       It’s okay to want or need a break.  Like anybody or body, sometimes you need to take time away to relax and just enjoy yourself.  Here is where the fine line needs to be clear, cheating is NOT okay.  It will work against you.  It might start making you fall out of your healthy ways and/or lose a significant other.  Yes, there are second chances, but why risk it? To see if you got it?

*On a side note, a happy meal combo once in a while or a double scooped Sunday here and there is okay.  So a little careless flirting and exchange of compliments occurred, it is NOT cheating.  Stuff like this happens. You should know where you’re coming from, and if it’s Love and Exercise, then you should also know it’s a good thing. Why would you stray from a good thing?

So I’ve been applying Love & Exercise this whole time to intimate, lover’s kind of love.  But in all honesty, it could and possibly should, be shared with any kind of love: friends, family, neighbors, whoever. Just know that when you love and exercise, beautiful things happen.  One last thing, don’t take anything for granted please. Now go love and be loved! <3

Past and Present: Creative Leak

Dated almost a decade ago, this is a little taste of my thoughts and feelings as a young teenager.  I stumbled across it and was so intrigued about the emotions I conveyed in this piece that I had to share.  Again, I could almost recall the exact feelings I used creating this…

On a lighter note, here’s a more current writing. It may not necessarily be about me, but it was definitely inspired by all the goodness surrounding me.

Many of my creations whether they’re random doodles, sketches, writings, or rants, are inspired by my surroundings and the emotions they bring upon me.  This piece was created a little bit ago, but it’s amazing how reading it can make the feelings feel so fresh again.

2011

Two thousand heaven bumped into
two thousand great and was followed by
two thousand shine.  After the shine came
two thous-intense which ended abruptly by
what I thought was two thousand no lovin’

but was later corrected by some lovin’ that
it is now really TWO THOUSAND WE LOVIN’.

Quick new year doodle.  Title: “Peace, Love, Unity, Respect”

Spread a little more love, share an extra smile, then do a random act of kindness. A toast to the new year and more goodness to come!

Peace out Intense, Hello We-Lovin’ ! :)
