SAO PAULO — Protesters on Friday promised more organized action across Brazil in the days to come, following clashes in which police in Sao Paulo set upon thousands of young demonstrators angered by hikes in bus and subway fares.

Newspapers carried photos of bloodied protesters and journalists with battered, swollen faces, a young couple being beaten by police and videos of tear gas canisters and rubber bullets being fired into crowds chanting “no violence!” Protesters set fire to garbage bags piled in streets, broke windows and spray-painted graffiti on buildings and buses.

Protest organizers said more than 100 demonstrators were injured. Police would only say that 12 officers were hurt and that more than 230 people were detained and later released in the Thursday night demonstrations in Sao Paulo.

Stillness is the move...

I went to see Solange in concert last night and was blown away by her stage presence (no surprise there). I love her confidence and she just reminds me of someone I would be friends with.. she says stuff like “Aight yall we are about to turn this into a high school freak party, no one’s exempt” lol. So after singing through ‘True’ and some of her old stuff she hit us with this track “Stillness is the Move” which I had never heard before so I recorded it and did some research this morning. She covered this song by Dirty Projectors (never heard of them before) and I’m equally in love with BOTH versions. Her taste is very eclectic and that’s definitely a sign of true talent. Mind blown for reals. Anyway, check out the both of them below.

Half-Marathon Training....

I made it to 8 miles this past weekend running/jogging at about an average 10:46 minutes per mile (about 5.7-5.8 mph). I’m trying my ultra hardest to kill all intoxication and shisha smoking habits until after the race, but it’s SO HARD! I’m hoping to push myself to 9.5 miles this weekend, lessssdoit

“

Breathing is my way of life. As a vocalist, just as a person who’s main focus is evolving, breathing—that’s my meditation. I enjoy yoga classes. I walk in meditation. I dance. I’m a ballerina. Modern jazz and tap. But I would love to get into a good yoga class if I can stay focused and breathe. I love the connection I have with myself every time I take a yoga class. It’s a very nice remembering, remembering the parts of me. You know what I mean?

But I walk and breathe in meditation. Another meditation I do: when I walk I count my steps, so I’m really in the here and right now. Another meditation I do is try to stay out of my mind as long as I can, as an exercise, so I don’t believe everything I think. I do many different things. Many different exercises that keep me focused.

“Another meditation I do is try to stay out of my mind as long as I can as an exercise so I don’t believe everything I think.” I love that. In Buddhist practice we learn not to take seriously most of the thoughts and feelings which wash through us because most of these are simply ripples blowing across the pond of our mind which aren’t really even us (sometimes conditioned reflexes to be unlearned, sometimes thought forms from others in our surroundings which confuse us, sometimes just random shit blowing around in the psychic atmosphere), and which do not empower or assist us, so Buddhist practice is just as much about what you learn to ignore as it is about what you learn to pay attention to.

One of my biggest struggles in life has always been my weight and my physical abilities (i.e. RUNNING). This past year I have been able to motivate myself to improve my health and fitness level in ways I have never done before. I’ve explored foods and exercises that I spent most of my adult life saying “hell to the no”. My biggest challenge coming up is the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in DC. It’s on April 28th and I am absolutely terrified. Running 13.1 miles is something I would have never imagined.

Anyway, the next 58 days will consist of a VERY strict regiment. I’ve stopped the crash dieting and other unhealthy ways of losing weight that I was used to. So the past couple of months I’ve eaten healthy with regular indulgences. But if I want to make it to 13.1 miles (in the next 58 days) I can’t afford those luxuries. I’m cutting all of my bad (well they aren’t THAT bad) habits until after race day.

I’ve gotten a lot better at running since I started training but now it is truly crunch time. I just have to do it..then REPEAT.

Oh and the race is for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society’s Team in Training program. It trains athletes for various events such as this one and funds cancer research. To be honest I just found this out today. I knew the race had to have a cause, but that wasn’t my motivation when signing up. Still nice tho!

The plan is to run 6.5 miles today on the treadmill. Let’s see how it goes!!!

What a way to start Black History Month.

OMG THISSS! This discussion just happened on my facebook. Tumblr took a field trip to facebook!

truth though.

Pushing me more to believe religion thrives on the poverty of its followers. Sigh.
