Newsfeed #1

Sometimes people pop up on my Facebook NewsFeed with some great stuff. I'm going to start "Newsfeed" posts to highlight them

• ‎"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart."- Kahlil Gibran
• if you hold your pride above everything, you're going to end up with nothing but your pride
• 
• She Wants Revenge - "Red Flags and Long Nights"

I realize this might conflict with my usual "Things that came up today:" endings. Hmm will have to work that out haha

OMG I'm Back!!

Welcome Welcome everyone! (Or am I just rewelcoming myself... hahah)

I took a rather long hiatus - with facebook, twitter, tumblr... I just felt like I was spreading myself too e-thin. And with the business of applying to med school, the drone of undergrad life that seems repetitive after the novelty that drove a lot of my earlier (and i mean EARLIER) posts somewhat wore off... I just fell out of the blogging habit.

I started a tumblr in the interim, which was actually never meant to be a "blog" nor do I still consider it one... I rarely write anything, its more like a dump of things I find, or capture myself, mostly visual. Somehow it got discovered, or maybe I exposed myself when following someone else's, and eventually that became my "blog" (ALTHOUGH ITS NOT). I'll try to find some way to sync that here, bec I feel like I'll continue dumping there.

Another reason I took a break from this blog was because I felt like I was lacking a consistent theme. But in my break, I realized, that's what I like about myself-- that I find interest in many things. And I trust that like my also very multifaceted friends, others do too.

SO I'M BACK. woop woop.

I like the water

I've discovered a new joy in life, and I was going to express it on facebook with the status update of: "Samiah likes the water"

If that wasn't obvious in its literal sense (I mean... I only created one of the first water appreciation groups on facebook... hahah)-- let me clarify, yes it is much more metaphorical in sense.

And then I decided I wasn't going to bog people down with metaphorical facebook statuses. My best friend and I despise those. Our first instinct, besides venting about it to eachother, is to immediately hit "Post Reply" and dispell a little KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid).

Rather, I'd write a haiku on my blog. =)


I change my shape so
Come on in, the water's fine
and still her true blue.

Whatever happened to?

Most people that know me well know that

if in high school I had studied models less and AP Bio more, that 4 would have been a 5.

But then I wouldn't have been able to say that I could name every model in your magazine.




Hahaha.
Today I pulled out my W magazines from 2005-- probably the peak of my interest in models and the whos who of thereof.

I don't know why I'm talking so much, all I really wanted to say today was--

what ever happened to Solange Wilvert and Polina Kouklina? If you know please tell me. I'm currently lazy.



Things that came up today:

• lunch at Mas' Islamic Restaurant (highly recommended-so good!)
• the best holiday in the world- 4th of July
• W Magazine
• apologies
• trying to be nice
• daring to be in love... but not courageous enough
