School is over, (for now at least) and I am so ready to embrace summer. It's nice to get out of the city for a while and live in the peace and quiet of suburbia. Unfortunately, it is incredibly humid and rainy all the time, but no worries. I've been busy unpacking, (I now have 100% more crap then I ever did before) Things are just accumulating in piles around my room and I occasionally see one of the piles moving, my dog will then creep out from underneath it. Not sure why she finds it necessary to burrow herself in my stuff, but she's cute so whateva, (and it makes for the most ADORABLE instagram pics.)

Anyways, I've been working on a "chillface" playlists- ya know, the songs you listen to relax, get your chill...face on. I've developed one that I think is pretty super, but ya'll let me know. And by ya'll, I mean the 3 people who actually read my blog, one of which is my mom. So thanks mom for making my blog views number go up. Much appreciated. I will also have more time to doodle!! YEAYYYY!

In the mean time, grab the ones you love, relax, nap and enjoy the start of summer-

Here's the Chill-Face Playlist:

I am so excited to write this post for a number of reasons:
1)It's Friday
2) I'm that much closer to being done with school
3) It's about my beautiful friend, Jess

Jess and I met in the Menswear program at FIT. She immediately stuck out to me as the sassy Latina chick with big hair. I instantly wanted to be her friend and as soon as that happened was dubbed the name Lil' Whitey by Jess and a few other we hung around with.

Jess was always full of smiles and explained to me all the things a girl should look out for in life. Boy problems, girl problems, city problems- you name it, Jess prepared me. She is an incredible multi-tasker- Girl was workin' it back in the day! School, a job, sewing homework and making time for family and friends.

Jess and Matias make their first public appearance together

She moved last year out to California for an incredible design job and she has come so far from being the sassy Latina chick running around NYC! Don't get me wrong, she still is that sassy Latina chick, but she will have to juggle one more thing in her busy schedule...

...A BABY!

Matias Ramon will be arriving in a mere 67 days and I can hardly wait! I do partially feel responsible for the birth of little Matias. No I did not get Jess preggo- that is impossible! BUT I did sorta kinda set her up with her other half.

Her BF was also in the Menswear program with Jess and I. He wore glasses. I thought he was cool. I remember sewing my life away with him, he was impressed by my rap skills and surprised that I was singing the old stuff, (Nice and Smooth, NWA, older Beastie Boys, you knowwww.) Jess told me she thought he was cute. A lil' bit of Lil' Whitey's magic and they are two happy little clams, peas in a pod, the peanut butter to her jelly, the cookies to his milk... I think you get the point. Of course there is more to that story, but that story is their story, so I'll leave it for them to tell Matias someday!

They are going to be amazing parents and I am so excited to see their beautiful future together. I also can't wait to meet Matias! He is going to be the tall, dark and handsome type- look out ladies!

I hate to close on a sad note, but the world said goodbye to a legend. RIP Adam Yauch, you were amazing, thank you for your music.

It is finally May! I cannot believe how this year has flown by! If you're like me, you're probably up to your eyeballs in work and most likely praying for the next three weeks to be over. I should not be pinning on pinterest nor should I be blogging under the circumstances. But JEEZ, CAN I LIVE? Everyone needs a break every once in a while.

One assignment I am excited for is a research paper I am writing. I honestly never thought I would even utter those words but yes ladies and gents, that just happened. My paper is all about movies- Darren Aronofsky to be exact. I recently had to catch up on a few of his films. So I sat down this past weekend with two of my friends and we watched The Wrestler, Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream. Heavy shit man, that's for sure! He is an extraordinary director but his movies are so dark. I guarantee you will have seriously deranged dreams if you watch them all in a day. I know I did!
My friends were so surprised that I had never seen Black Swan before. To be honest, I was even surprised I hadn't seen it. I love movies! I could not believe it has taken me over a year to finally sit down and watch it. Needless to say, it was a fantastic film.
