So fine and it just ain't fair; so beautiful and so damn rare.

I love unconventional love songs. This one has the dopest lyrics. I highlighted my favorites. Because I'm a dork.

Favorite Verses (starting at 1:08) —

[Verse:]
She's angelic and energetic
Using sex as a weapon
I reckon that I'm confessing
Her body is just a blessing from God Down to earth
She needs to be in a church to prove that
We didn't spawn from fish but God's work
Hurts to see her clothed cause her body beholds
Secrets untold valued like platinum and gold
For she is the key to open my mind to see
The energy that radiates from the gates of heavenly bliss
I reminisce over touch and kiss

While you fucking a bitch, I go make love to my miss

Never scandalous
It unanimous that the how i handled it
Lights off and candle lit rooms and glamorous
Yo I call you love sexual you look edible
Parallel snuggle up close intellectual
In a rendezvous who are you in wrap hairdo
No makeup in jean shorts open toe shoe

I wanna hold you mold ya soul I behold you

Know you better than myself never own you
But keep you never leave you
I beseech you
Gods gift to man is you wearing a see through
Riding Seadoos in Atlantic Ocean
Causing commotion
Lay you down going through the motions
Keep ya skin soft lotions got me coasting
Down pretty round brown thighs the candles low lit


[Chorus:]
Honey brown wit the long black hair
Teasing me with a kiss and a stare
Slight touch and you taking me there
So fine and it just ain't fair
So beautiful and so damn rare

[Verse:]
Look at this agreeable
Delightful, delectable
Unforgettable
So sweet she may be edible
She needs a pedestal To step out of heaven you ready boo

Never hypothetical you factual and magical

Fuck theatrical

Baby girl because you actual

Physically your chemistry is so mathematical

Had to use academics to define your spirit

You lifting my limits

Your name off my tongue is a lyric

She's a compilation of my minds representation
Of a representative
Representing an excellent revelation of time and dedication
Never impatient
She know the deal
Revealed herself to me
So I can see Her heavenly ways
Her heavenly gaze
And plus it don't hurt that she has an ass for days
So as we lay I reminisce on the day that we met
Please god never let me forget

A mini photo essay of our getaway to Punta Cana. The accompanying song will forever be associated with this trip. (Start it at 0:38 if you want to skip the slightly tool-ish dialogue.) 

Don Omar - Danza Kuduro ft Lucenzo by Cheif-Mechanic

Hotel lobby upon our arrival.

Blue oceans, tall palms, white, sandy beaches... heaven.

Unending lobster paella with lime.

LUSH.

After a long beach day, a cup of peppermint tea while watching the sunset on our balcony...

Sunset leaves.

As the sun sank...

... Night time adventures followed..

Chin, chin :)

The shoes, the pants, the peacoat... If I were a man, I would rock this ensemble.

Quotation of the Week

"I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar, it can crumble so easily, but don't be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it."

Away on vacation for one glorious week of sunshine, beach hair and coconut-umbrella drinks. Ciao! :) 

Rothko numba three

Reminds me of a pansy? The flower, not the wimp. It's supposed to be inspirational geez.

We don't care if the sun comes up...

Dancing With The Dj (Acoustic Campfire Version) by The Knocks

This makes me feel all snuggly around a cold, spray-misty beach and toasty campfire. The original version {found here} is pretty sick, too. More groovy discotheque than "kumbayah," though.

Digging this with the rainy weather right now.

Officially spring yet?

Pretty, calming flowers. The pink ones especially remind me of my mother's garden at home. She would always cut a few stems for our kitchen table.

Quotation of the Week

Image via Harper's Bazaar, Oct 2010

“An authentically empowered real woman, who looks and feels like a modern women in the twenty first century, allowing us to see the best of ourselves in her. She brings a sense of connection and accessibility to that position that no nation has ever witnessed.”

Can you meditate in a painting?

Klimt, Birch Forest, 1903

The detail is overwhelming. After attempting to capture the texture and light of my own still life painting, I can truly appreciate the effect of this work. You really get a feel for the crispy, crackling leaves; soft, velvet mosses; strips and layers of bark.

A refresher for the heart

This is a bit old, but I watch it from time to time, because it's so downright charming and adorable.

Wednesday {Coffee Break}

Putting the energy into a gray and dreary hump day calls desperately for an espresso and dark chocolate.

Playthings for urbanites

They're called terrariums, and I want one.

"Terrariums are just the thing for urbanites like us who are strapped for space and yearning for a patch of greenery."

Created by designer Jose Agatep, these quaint statuesque biomes would be perfect for my drab little office cubicle.

“He fills them with plants from a local Philadelphia flower shop and soil and wood chips from along forest trails and train tracks. (He particularly likes taking components from the outdoors because they come with the bacteria and insects necessary to maintain the self-contained ecosystem, and sometimes they sprout mushrooms, much to his customers’ surprise.) 'Everything is so … technology,” he says. 'We need the nature. It’s a good reminder of how it used to be.' ”

Apparently, Anthropolgie now sells these in their home department ($28 to $398). Oh you would, Anthro. You can read the full article here.

Quotation of the Week

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream."

And we were... gone!

Favorite excerpt —

"You're so beautiful," He said.
"You're elegant and deep,
and innocent and wild."
"You saw that there?" I said.
It was like he read my palm.
"I saw that,"
He said, "And much, much more."

Bob stayed looking for almost an hour,
As if he were studying a map,
Observing the moon, 
Staring into my eyes.
But it was my vagina!

I watched him looking at me.
He was so excited.
So peaceful and euphoric. 
I began to get wet and turned on.
I began to see myself the way he saw me. 
Like a great painting or a waterfall.

Bob wasn't afraid, no, he wasn't grossed out.
I began to swell.
I began to feel proud.
I began to feel beautiful and delicious,
Like a great painting or a waterfall.

Bob wasn't afraid, no, he wasn't grossed out.
I began to swell.
I began to feel proud.
I began to love my vagina.

And Bob lost himself there,
And I was there with him,
In my vagina.
And we...
Were...
GONE!

I went curiously and left deeply moved. Who would have ever thought, the Vagina Monologues would be a tearjerker?

Monsieur Right, meet Mademoiselle Right

"Top Mating Preferences" via HD 3620: Human Bonding, Hazan

I'm taking a pretty intriguing course in the department of Human Development. "Human Bonding" studies the science/sociology/psychology — what have you — behind human "mating" relationships, aka couples.

Some things are making a lot more sense to me since taking this class... but, is this list of top 12 traits that we prefer in potential partners, actually... true? Interesting to note that males rate "physical attractiveness" a lot higher up than females. Hm.

Ma ma ma mia. To me, it feels a bit lustful.
