DON'T DIE, know the HEIMLICH


A couple of weekends ago, A. made a soup dish with some chicken breasts. Let me say that I am known to scoff food down, so that means I was not chewing my food the way I should have. To make a short story short, I got a piece of chicken stuck in my throat. At first I thought I would be able to get it down, so I kept swallowing. Before I knew it, I was in a life or death situation. I ran to the sink and tried to scream the meat out. That didnt work!

Anthony then came over and calmly performed the Heimlich maneuver on me. The meat was immediately dislodged and I was still alive. 3 things I learned:
1. A. still has my back, dont know that he never did. And I joke with A. that I owe him for at least one year.
2. More importantly, chew your food enough so that you can swallow!
3. Know how to perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself.
I dont like to think about what might have happened if A. had not been there. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PIECE OF FURNITURE NEARBY THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE HEIGHT THAT YOU CAN PUSH YOUR BODY UP AGAINST IN THE EVENT THAT THIS HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOU ARE ALONE!

New Angles (Angels)

I recently updated my facebook status by saying that on one particular rough day, I had beautiful angels all around me, so many angels that the devil rolled up his window and drove away. All of the people below are Angels in one form or another. Whether it be an artist testing the boundaries and questioning individualism or a positive role model for the kids...a man telling the world who he is with no regret or a guy helping a celebrity get back her model figure. Doing a good deed or being honest will always help yourself and the recipient see a new angle on life.

All I am going to say is that I like this video, but I like the song "Window Seat"better and her new cd even better. Check out the video and listen to the full album below on her website:

Vernon Davis

Saw my dude Vernon Davis on this new E Entertainment reality show: Pretty Wild. I cant say that I will watch this show anymore unless Vernon shows up again with that dynamic smile. I'm not mad at Ms. Alexis...flirting her ass off.















Ricky



Dude came out! What an inspiration he will be for generations to come. His bravery will make it easier for so many others. Thank you, Ricky!
