A Dance (Post) of Craziness

Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmi

Last night i had another one of those sucky Saturdays where my friends forget about me and I'm all alone at home.
i (luckily) had one of my creative "sparks" so to speak...
here's what happened.
I saw a picture of something cool. I decided to copy it.
A+ for creativity, am i right?

k but really...

decided to put some of my old Teen Vogues to use (basically i wanted to trash the bitchez)...
I mean,  TeenVogue kinda sucks.
I'm pretty sure the Editors were like:
Editor #1: Hey, do you wanna make a magazine that'll make young girls feel terrible about themsevles?!
Editor #2: Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! Oh, i know, we'll make them feel bad not only about the fact that they're not anorexic like all of our models, but lets make them feel bad about how they can't afford any of the clothes in our Magazine, too!
Editor #1: Great idea! Now...do you have any thoughts on teenage drinking? I think that'd be an original first article...

You get my point, right?
Yeah so i decided to massacre those babies and heres what resulted


Pretty sweet right?
It's from this poem by Swami Kripalu:
My beloved child, break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love, which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come. Your time. To live. To celebrate,
and to see the goodness that you are…
Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light.
Let go, and breathe into the goodness that you are.

I know, I know, i'm just all full of the good quotations and funny lines today. ;)

Then, today, still on a "creative" roll, (ha!), i decided to bake cinnamon buns. 
OMG.

Honestly though... WTF was I thinking?! They're pretty freaking labor-intensive for a lazy girl like me! But, um, it's pretty cool how something as lame as that big ol' hunk o' dough up there can turn into these...


and then these


You know when bloggers are all like "AND THEN I ATE SIX OF THEM"    even though you know they're really lying and just trying to make you feel good about yourself in comparison to their non-existent piggishness?
Well, um, and then I ate three of them and that ain't no hyperbole ladies and gents. 
None at all.
I now know the definition of a sugar coma. Or maybe its just the reason why this post is so damn odd.
All i can say is, who cares? There are cinnamon buns in my kitchen and pretty words on my wall!
sweet!
Peace out

  4. Thank you for sparing us the hyperboles. It really drives me nuts when people exaggerate and don't mean it. Although, I suppose I am guilty of this too. I like to say ridiculous things like, "Maya, if you don't stop asking me questions I am going to lose my mind." And yet, that seems okay to me versus saying I ate 10 cookies when I really ate 2. My priorities are a bit messed up but I think you get my point. :)

    Lovely cinnamon buns...they look absolutely divine!

  6. I've gotten Teen Vogue for years and have cut every single one of them up -- they're fun to flip through and even more fun to destroy. I recently realized that I'm 21 and stopped subscribing, though.

    and those treats look AMAZING.

  9. Beautiful wall, and beautiful cinnamon rolls. I've been wanting to try my hand at cinnamon rolls for ages. Just yesterday I found a drool-worthy picture of cinnamon rolls with sprinkles (like cinnamon cake rolls? awesomesauce)

    And why do people DO that? Say, OH I ate like 20 cookies... yeah right.
