Zero Degrees - Is it cool enough?

Zero Degrees - Arlington Over the week, a coworker mentioned a place in Arlington that served fries smothered in Hot Cheetos and fuity, frozen drinks topped with Tajin chilli. A woman's dream. So, naturally, I had to check it out. *Cue A Thousand Miles * Making my way to Arlington,  Driving Fast,  Cars, they pass And I'm food bound.... Anyways, a little background: Siblings Ken, San and Trinity, according to the Zero Degrees Company website , launched Zero Degrees in 2013 in Orange County under Zero Italian Ice and Custard - which you did good with a name change. Described as Asian-Hispanic fusion, they serve coffee, tea and it is the House of the Mangonada priding themselves on quality, customer service and environment.  As we arrived, there were no lines to be seen, but the place was already full inside with a small number of seating arrangements. Luckily, we found seats outside the restaurant and after five minutes we received our...

Addict - Short Poem

Temptation seems so far away but I can still smell his cologne in the air. His warm embrace as he cradles my head in his arms. How his smooth tongue dances onto my heart and keeps me from getting lost. I can't be without him, I can't live without him. Healthyplace.com The rig is now empty. It's time to see my baby.

Two birds with one stone

She begged and she pleaded, and I told her to leave it. No matter how much you cry, you'll still end up bleeding. From your throat to your nose, and anywhere there is a hole. I could care less about what you say about daddy's figures, your father's money is a bore. Of course I had to lie to you since day one. Had I been honest I would've never gained your trust. If i had been truthful to your face, I'd be holding in this explosive rage. The urge to carve your bones and the scarring of your burns won the race. Psychotic to the bone I am here to cleanse your soul. Remember, the more agony and pain you experience, the closer you'll be to the lord. She screamed and she cried. I just muffled the noise. Its safe to take her body out now when no ones around. We'll play, I promise, at least once a day. Because I still love you to this day. But my need to see you suffer will always be in play. Fret not, my darling dear I'll wipe your sist...

The Fighter - Short Story

I guess you can say that I hated her. I don’t know why. It all started when we were younger. I was an angry child and for some time, the only child. I sought out to be the one in command once she came. I always had it out for her, and it was more often than not that she fell out of line. This, in turn forced my hand, so I dealt with it every single time. But as the older she got the more she rose up to the occasion of the beating, hoping to put me in my place. But alas, she always failed to defeat me, and I loved the idea of her losing to me and at times even surrendering to me. That’s when realized. She was starting to hang with other girls more her age and began to rebel - Acting up every time, coming home whenever she wanted, and abusing pills and drugs. She got tatted and had no respect for authority. It beaconed at me, I knew I pushed her there and this was the results were coming in and I was going to get it. Real hard. That night she got up to me and said,...

Artemisia

Absinthe will make your head spin and let you see the sirens Calling out for you causing all your migraines. Don't you see the signs yet? Fret not, love. Ain't nothing happening.

Come to find you never left home and crying in your bedroom since you realized you have no clue As to what happened a few mins ago. Where did the time go? The green drink played you.

Shepitome

I am a summer queen with wings on my back. Lift me higher to break maximum glass.  Shattered and broken the chalice will fall,  paving a path to a paradise, with words I cannot describe.  And I'll wear my glass crown and paint blood red my lips leaving my mark on all stars that I have kissed.  And I'll soar to a heaven no man has ever witnessed before; A solstice empress with wings evermore. 

"Queer Eye" Review

How are we doing, motherlovers? It has been such a long time since I blogged. No real reason as to why not, it just hasn't happened. Also, name change for ya. So, I have spent most of my time working, going to school, cooking and watching Netflix. Besides cooking random recipes I have found, I have spent quite an amount of time watching "Queer Eye". OM-FUCKING-G, YA'LL. Those are the words to use. This show is a Netflix original but it's a remake, like most things are today, of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which personally, I have never seen, but I have heard so many great things about. So, when, I stumbled across Queer Eye, It was a show I just could not put down. The men they makeover, from Tom and his redneck margaritas to the amazing Covington Fire Department, melt your heart, and at times the panties, as you watch them go through a transformation filled with self confidence, self love, and a new sense of acceptance of themselves and the men who ge...
