Sometimes I feel as if New Jersey is slowly killing me. Maybe it’s not the whole state, but it’s definitely the city I live in. There’s so much noise and pollution to deal with every day. Some days you can smell fumes and chemicals for hours on end. It’s really bad. I know I’m not the most environmentally conscious person in the world, but I do try to respect nature and my surroundings. Some people around here have no respect for nature or their neighbors. They don’t realize that these things will come back to us later.
I definitely think people take clean (sometimes!) air and water for granted. Lately they’ve been sending out notices telling people in my city not to drink the water at certain times or to boil it first. That’s horrible. And there are a lot of people who believe certain diseases can be prevented or caused by environment. I know Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos, but I wonder if the environment can have any affect on people with Mesothelioma cancer. I remember my aunt having really bad asthma and breathing problems until she moved out of this city.
I’ve decided to do one of those 30 Day Personal Challenges on this site. I’m also doing the 30 Day Music Challenge on my other website. I thought that this challenge would be a way to lighten things up around here and share some things about myself.
Your Favorite Actress: I don’t really have a favorite actress. There are actresses that I’m fond of generally; such as Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry… and there are actresses that I’m fond of in certain things, but I wouldn’t call them favorites. The actress I probably love the most and the one that never disappoints me is Ms. Cicely Tyson! Listen to me when I tell you, I love that woman! She is incredible. I literally cry sometimes when I see her on TV. She just moves me. I loved her so much in so many movies. Some of my favorites are Sounder, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, The Women of Brewster Place, Mama Flora’s Family, and Fried Green Tomatoes. Those are also some of my favorite movies. Amazing woman and actress!! I guess I do have a favorite actress after all, huh? Lol
I love my digital camera. Besides my computer it’s probably one of my favorite electronics purchases. I don’t use it as often as I would like to, but it definitely gets a lot of mileage. The pictures that I take aren’t that great, but that’s mostly because I shoot everything on “auto”. Of course doing that keeps you from experiencing the camera’s full potential. One day soon I hope to be able to take some photography classes to learn how to really use the camera and camera accessories.
Once I master the digital camera I have now I plan to get a better digital SLR camera. I want to learn how to really use one of those properly before buying it. I’ve read a lot of digital camera reviews and SLR camera come highly recommended. Oh, I also want to buy an underwater camera. Someone I follow online posted a video taken with an HD underwater camera and the video was amazing. I need one of those in my life. Even if I don’t get an underwater HD camera I’ll get a regular HD digital camera for making videos. They’re awesome!
Last night I stayed up late surfing the Internet looking for some ideas about how I can detox. I was planning to start a diet soon, but I think detoxing first would be a better option. That way I can rid my body of a lot of crap before I start filling it with good stuff. Seems to make more sense that way. Another reason I want to detox is to get rid of a lot of toxins. The past two weeks alone I’ve noticed four pimples on my face. My mom says they’re probably from the toxins in my body. Especially since I’m just getting over the flu.
I intend to do some fasting and detoxing for the last 10 days of this month and then start September off right by eating a mostly fruit and vegetable diet. I really want to cut out the processed foods and refined sugars. Hopefully by doing that I will lose weight and get healthier. Reading all these apidexin reviews and testimonies makes me want to lose wight even more. Unfortunately I don’t have that pill to help me out!
