All You Can Eat

Going to an all you can eat buffet isn’t really a joyful occasion.

Just think about it! People bring in all their nasty germs from their corners of the world and breath and hover over all the food in the hot bar. The little nasty microscopic germy bugs fall on top of the fried rice and into your place that’s stack 8 feet high.

It’s really disgusting when you think about it.

However i decided to visit an all you can eat buffet today and was indeed happy.

Cheap sushi on an all you can scale is enough to make me smile.

For a eight piece sushi roll at a legit sushi restaurant, I’ll spend $12 , but for an endless amount of sushi at the local Chinese restaurant I’m dropping $10 On a bill and getting a meal too.

That’s a deal worth taking antibiotics for.

miso and sushi

Went to Buckhead’s Ru San in Atlanta with Amari last week to satisfy my constant craving for miso soup and sushi.

First time i visited this restaurant was almost five years ago and was amazed out how awesome the freaking food was.

My expectations were extremely high for this visit and as I closed my chopsticks down around my sushi and popped it into my waiting mouth, I was not disappointed.

same predicament

I didn’t think this video was going to be what it was.

I thought it was just going to be cute, I thought I was going to be dying with laughter. I thought and I thought and I thought but somewhere in between the middle and the end of Bianca Giaever’s “The scared is Scared” , it stops being just cute and takes a sharp right turn into real life fear.

I had to analyze my own life.

Giaever talks about how school is ending for her and it’s almost as if it’s a closing to a section of her life. In 2 months or so, I’ll be in the same predicament and although i’ve dreamed, hoped, anticipated this moment, I am scared out of my mind.

I haven’t started applying to jobs , i haven’t applied for any grad schools yet and I haven’t been focusing as much on my school work. What am i doing?

As much as I want to begin my life and chase my dreams, I feel like failure is in the back seat of my car waiting to call “shotgun!”.

Just a friend

I asked him who he was waiting for all alone outside, he told me a friend.

I spotted this guy while pasting in my car. I thought to myself “how odd”.

Next to him stood a gift bag splattered with the word love, pink tissue paper peeped out from the top, a heart shaped balloon floated over his head.He looked calm, cool and collective but for some reason he stuck out to me like black roots on blonde hair.

I made a u-turn, grabbed my camera and snapped a couple of shots; his permission of course.

I asked him:

“Do you like her. “

“Naw.”

“Why you doing this then?”

“Just wanted to be nice you know.”

“You sure you don’t like her?”

“She’s just a friend.”

Earlier that day I asked a friend if the gift she received -red tulips and a card- was from a lover. She told me it was just a home boy even when I kept nagging her to tell me the truth.

All throughout the day I had received text messages from friends wishing me a good day and had two even give me a gift.

Growing up I thought Valentine’s Day was all about having a boyfriend and going out but this year has been all about my friend.

Sometimes all you need is just a friend to make you smile or feel special.

mouth full of plantains

I’m a fat girl that doesn’t mine admitting she loves her food.

If it’s foreign, weird, fried, sauteed, maybe a little too spicy, i don’t care! I eat it all and will try anything.

Before returning back to start the new semester at school, me and mi madre satisfied our craving for Caribbean food by venturing off to a Jamaican restaurant by the name of “Taste of Jamaica.” Shockingly Columbia, South Carolina has great international food restaurants, who would of though.

It had been almost 2 years since we ate Jamaican, due to our favorite restaurant around the corner from our house shutting down, so i was more than ready to feast.

My mother got the ox tail with rice and i got the curry chicken, a classic! It did not disappoint and my cabbage was seasoned perfectly.

If your thinking about journeying off to a Jamaican restaurant, please order the plantains! yum!
