<p>I hope everyone is enjoying and making the best of their Friday. </p>
<p>Now, people dislike me for my metabolism. Reason being I can eat anything. Ranging from The richest double German chocolate cake to caramel Apple crisp to a mouth watering 1/2 lb double Bacon cheeseburger to your nana&#8217;s Mexican Food.  After consuming all that, I end up loosing weight! Granted I do have an athletic body type, but I for one think it&#8217;s a gift. <img src='http://optikx.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So now, I grant you with what I had for lunch today. A Carne Asada burrito with salsa. Along with a large thirst quenching Horchata to wash it all down. All made possibly by Riva&#8217;s Mexican food in Tempe, AZ. </p>
<p><em>P.S. Yes that is my gum on top of my lid. It still has flavor!</em></p>

<blockquote><p>As you can see, people break up less during the summer, and more during the Winter and Spring.</p>
<p>* A big peak right before Spring Break<br />
* Most breakups are announced on Mondays<br />
* People like to start the summer being single<br />
* A big peak right before Christmas<br />
* The lowest day throughout the whole year is Christmas Day</p></blockquote>
<p>I think that is pretty funny. Collecting aggregate data from Facebook to conduct a study on relationships.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Los Angeles-based tattoo artist <a href="http://www.arudima.com/">Jun Cha</a> began tattooing at the early age of 15. Within a 6 year span, he has developed a commanding presence for his work with the needle. His talents have helped spawn further projects outside of tattooing including collaborations with both The Hundreds and C1RCA. In featuring the multi-faceted artist, we gain a better understanding of his initial foray into tattooing, his monochromatic style and his inspirations.</p></blockquote>

<p>I take pride in this international day, well for one, I am left handed. This international day was first observed August 13th, 1976, according to Wikipedia that is.</p>
<p>Did you Know? Right handed people operate in the left side of the brain. Left handed people use the right side. Therefore, only left handed people are in their right mind.</p>
<p>The left hemisphere (RIGHT HAND CONTROL) controls Speech, Language, Writing, Logic, Mathematics, Science, this is the LINEAR THINKING MODE.</p>
<p>The right hemisphere (LEFT HAND CONTROL) controls Music, Art, Creativity, Perception, Spatial awareness, Emotions, Genius, this is the HOLISTIC THINKING MODE (the whole picture of something rather than the little bit).</p>
<p><strong>Have you noticed:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> • In school, have you ever seen a left handed desk? They don&#8217;t exist.</li>
<li> • Many left handed items cost more.</li>
<li>• Novelty coffee mugs are made with the picture or text for a right handed 	  pick-up.</li>
<li> • Scissors for right handers. Only a lefty would understand this.</li>
<li> • The computer mouse you are using as you read this is designed 	  for right handers.</li>
<li>• When writing with a pen/pencil/marker you tend to smear everything
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Here are some interesting facts about Lefties:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>• As left handers, we never do anything right (I know one person that will agree to that until she dies &lt;3)</li>
<li>• Sinistrophobia is the fear of left-handedness or things on the left side.</li>
<li> • While many people are left handed, very few are 100% left handed. For example, 	  many Left handers golf and bat right handed. On the other hand, there is 	  a high percentage of righties who are 100% right-handed.</li>
<li> • Lefties are also called &#8220;southpaws.&#8221;</li>
<li> • Tuesdays are Lefties luck day.</li>
<li> • Only about 10% of the population is left handed.</li>
<li> • During the 1600&#8242;s people, thought left handers were witches and 	  warlocks.</li>
<li> • They say everyone was born right handed, and only the greatest overcome it.</li>
<li> • It is believed that all polar bears are left handed.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>The Left Advantage</strong></p>
<p>Part of this is almost certainly linked with the organization of the brain with the right side of the brain that controls spatial awareness linked directly to the dominant left hand, giving left-handers an advantage when thinking in three dimensions and in interpreting information in a 3 dimensional space.</p>
<p>A right-handed player will more usually face a &#8220;like-handed&#8221; opponent play a similar game and playing a left-hander is less common, whereas a &#8220;lefty&#8221; will invariably have faced more right-handers and thus be quite used to their &#8220;opposite&#8221; style of play.<br />
<br />
<strong>Who Is Left Handed?</strong><br />
Barack Obama, President<br />
Bill Clinton, President<br />
Ramses II, Egyptian Pharaoh<br />
Alexander the Great, Greek Emperor<br />
Napoléon Bonaparte, French Emperor<br />
Julius Caesar, Roman general<br />
Helen Keller, advocate for the blind<br />
Jay Leno, TV host<br />
John Dillinger, Bank robber<br />
Jack-the-Ripper, Famous Serial killer<br />
Bart Simpson, The Simpsons<br />
Kurt Cobain, Nirvana<br />
Phil Collins, Genesis<br />
Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins<br />
Jimi Hendrix, Guitarist<br />
Michelangelo, painted the Sistine Chapel<br />
Leonardo da Vinci, painted the Last Supper</p>
<p>Honestly I could list them all, but it is just to give you an idea of left handers of our past/present.</p>

<p>So if you all don&#8217;t &#8220;already&#8221; know, yours truly decided to get a piercing yesterday. I obviously tweeted about my trip since I was nervous as hell! I got so many DMs &amp; messages from some that want a piercing but are completely freaked out about the pain. Especially where I got my piercings so many of you ladies want piercings there but are afraid. So I thought I&#8217;d just straight out talk about my experience and give you all an HONEST opinion.</p>
<p>Thanks to the beautiful Mizz Dangerous, I was able to find a GREAT place and person to do the deed. I went to <a href="http://www.fleshcreations.com" target="_blank">Flesh Creations</a> on 91st Ave. &amp; Van Buren. in Tolleson, AZ. Duane Rhoades was the one to ask for!</p>
<p>The absolute truth about piercings or even tattoos is to really do your homework! Inspired by Christina Aguilera, Cassie, &amp; yes even Rihanna I originally wanted my piercings over a year ago. But after doing the homework I then decided to wait.</p>
<p>One thing to understand is the pain depends on the person. It is different for everyone. Some people say they felt a little pinch while others say it felt like someone shoving a needle through their pinky finger. It really just depends on what you define as pain. For me, the first piercing felt like someone bit down hard on the area and the second one hurt more than the first because I was anticipating it. Of a scale from 1-10 and 10 being the MOST painful I&#8217;d give it a 6 or 7 max.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-9996" href="http://www.area-59.net/general/to-pierce-or-not-to-pierce/attachment/rih2/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-9996" title="Rih2" src="http://www.area-59.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Rih2.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>The other thing you have to do is know what you want before you get it done. Some people get their piercings or tats spontaneously, but you really screw yourself if you have no idea what you want. Know if you want a ring, barbell, or horseshoe. For some body parts one is better than the other. I chose barbells for mine because it goes straight across instead of having rings because they&#8217;re curved. And because rings in that area just seemed more hazardous to me.</p>
<p>Last thing is to really make sure you have a professional piercing you and his tools are clean. The whole process really depends on them because if they know what they&#8217;re doing, it won&#8217;t be as painful and you&#8217;ll have less chance of infection. Also ask questions! When I walked in Duane and his buddies that work there made me feel super comfortable!</p>
<p>I knew what I wanted right away but the only thing I was clueless about was the gauge. It was either 14 or 16 and because Duane is the best he knew that 16 is bigger but less painful. He also knew what size best fit me because if it&#8217;s too short, it&#8217;ll hurt!</p>
<p>Overall, if you want the piercing, get it! I love mine! Even though the after pain is a little annoying it&#8217;s not horrible and the piercing is healing very nicely. Also, make sure you have someone with you if you can. I had Nando with me and he was awesome at keeping me relaxed! Well of course he was excited because he&#8217;s my man and loves the piercings probably more than I do. (LOL!) Anyway, after care is important! It up to you from there on out to keep it clean and healing well. Remember you can message me or hit me on twitter if you have any questions!

<p>P.S.&gt; If after reading all that and you still are wondering where I got my piercings, don&#8217;t worry. It&#8217;ll come to you later on =)</p>
