I feel pretty, oh so...MY GOD!

So, I've basically been obsessing over the Tom Ford Alana Aviator Sunglasses for weeks now. I finally made a trip to my favorite sunglass store at the miami merchandise mart. I went to almost all the Optical's in the mart (I think it's literally impossible to find ALL the stores, that place is so big I get lost inside almost every time I go) I finally found them at one of the stores and for a very reasonable price, when it came time to trying them on I was instantly in love. Then I pulled out my phone to take a selfie with them on, they looked awful! Defiantly NOT selfie approved. I instantly got turned off and hated the glasses, so I put them down and sadly left the store. It's so funny though how you could love something until the moment you put it on.

Sorry Alana, snapchat and instagram did not approve.

Note to all! Always take a selfie before buying sunglasses. Mirrors lie.

On a different note, my experience at the Miami Merchandise Mart was terrible, all the store owners were following my friend and I as if we were Bonnie and Clyde(looking fierce of course.) I've worked in a bunch of different places and I never profile against people. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't have the money to buy what you have in your store. It doesn't mean that I'm going to pull a gun out of my man purse and force you to stick all the sunglasses of my choice in the bag. People have this rude way of acting around younger people to the point that it really makes me want to not buy anything from you, like why should I? 

I've never felt like a criminal until I had a person following me around every store I went into. 

Business owners need to rethink they're approach to the people who are going to keep they're store open.

Aggravated

I sometimes like to think that life can be peaceful. Unfortunately shit doesn't work that way, I can't seem to understand why people are so obsessed with starting problems between their peers. I'm being fed different information from different people and all I want to do is crawl under a rock with my group of close friends and shut all the crazies out. I'm not going to get into the details about my situation but it's pretty annoying to have these so called friends who want to do nothing but wait for you to make a comment in confidence or just as a joke and turn it into "OMG did you hear what he say saying about you?" NO NO NO WHAT THE FUCK are you going through? Is this high school or do you think your Gossip Girl? I'm too fucking old to be dealing with this he said she said drama. It's pretty shitty to learn that someone you once saw as a friend could easily become the root of a tree of lies being said to people, manipulating other peers to think of you as a total shit-talking asshole. Heads up I don't talk shit. There's a huge difference between speaking the truth and saying a lie. Also, aren't people smart enough to just actually confront the person about said comments? Or do you just sit there soaking up all the bullshit being fed to you. If you need to be filtered around one of your so called friends you need to get rid of them asap. 

This whole situation had driven me on a cigarette rage. I need some weed.

Happy Tuesday.

Sonia

This weekend was my makeover weekend. I got my beard fixed for free by this cute barber, honestly it was my first time in a barber shop where I was the one on the chair. I was so scared at first but he did a great job and I feel like I found my person for my facial hair. I also got my hair done with my hair stylist Sonia. Here's a little bio of my relationship with Sonia. She has been in my life since I was about one. She was the first person to ever cut my hair as a baby and it was love at first cut. Although she would describe me as the child who couldn't sit still. Now twenty-three years later and I'm still going to her once a month. She is my hair god, I've only been to another person twice in my life and both times I came running back to her. Although it's a half hour drive and possibly a quarter tank of gas, she's totally worth it. I'm going to be devastated when she retires but I refuse to think about it until it actually happens.
While sitting on her chair as she clipped away I couldn't help but wonder if anyone else has a relationship like this with they're hairstylist or with they're nail ladies, eyebrow lady, etc. 

Ultimately, this post is dedicated to all the people who's job it is to keep everyone else looking fabulous and how thankful all of us sitting on the chair should be.

Three steps at a time...

For starters I'm happy to announce to the world that my battle wound is finally almost back to normal. There's very little scaring left, so tempted to pick at them but trying not too. 

Ok this post is not to discuss my nipple scabs...

I took a look back at my first post back when I made this blog nearly two month ago, I noticed that I haven't really even remotely started to work on them. I came home from my vacation and joined a gym and only went for two weeks. I can't say my diet's really changed.

I have cut down of the number of cigarettes I smoke, I used to go through a pack every two days and now a pack can last a whole week. I guess its a milestone for me, not really where I want to be but it's a start. Cutting down is the way to cut it correctly, cold turkey never works. 

I did cut Redbull completely out of my life, I haven't had a redbull all week and I've noticed the amount of energy I don't have. In fact, I've fallen asleep in three different places that is not my bed and I NEVER do that. I love my bed so much I never fall asleep at my friends homes but this week off redbull I've felt like an old woman. This has been such a difficult week and it only makes me crave cigarettes even more but I've been fighting the urge.

Now I need to post an action plan.

I will continue to not consume any redbull and only stick to one cup of coffee a day. 

I already made a gym date with my friend Steven tomorrow night, I just need to keep up with my fitness.

I will start to eat better and not have ANY fast food at all.

Sometimes I feel the need to post inspirational quotes all over my bedroom/bathroom just as a reminder every single morning but that's not how it should be. I need to stop being such a lazy sack of potatoes and do something with my life. A person as fabulous as me shouldn't be so fat. (: 

So I'm fixing it.

You will see a change...

Afterburn

So last week I had a dangerous encounter with my clothing steamer. It was late at night and I was "speed steaming" my shirt for work the next day, I was putting the nozzle back on the handle to adjust the sleeve when all of a sudden the bitch slipped right off the handle and landed on my chest! It was only there for about two second before falling to the ground. TWO SECONDS! TWO SECONDS long enough to leave a huge mark all around my nipple area. Thankfully my nipple was not harmed during this attack. 
I've spent the last week cleaning it every morning with saline water and applying Neosporin on it regularly. I've been covering it with gauze pads and people on the street stare at me as if I have some sort of flesh eating virus. 
I now stay a few feet away from the clothes I'm steaming to avoid another incident(attack)! 

The fight between Mika and the steamer. Steamer 1; Mika 0.

Goodnight...

KIMONOS!! - My Obsession

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to announce that I am back and ready to blog! I went off the grid for a few weeks and now I'm finally ready to get back to my blog. 

As I stated in my previous post I have grown a love for kimonos, yes I know they are mostly women fashion but as a gay man I feel like I can dabble in both men and women clothing. I'm not going to be wearing a skirt or a chiffon blouse but kimonos are the perfect exception; they go great with about anything. You can wear one with a tank top and shorts, they are also perfect for the beach and lets be honest they are perfect for us curvy people with that arm fat we all hate! (jiggle jiggle)
