The Way of The Warrior




Question: What are your thoughts when facing an opponent?
Bruce: There is no opponent.
Question: Why is that?
Bruce: Because the word ''l'' does not exist.
A good fight should be like a small play...but played seriously. When the opponent expands, l contract. When he contracts, l expand. And when there is an opportunity... l do not hit...it hits all by itself (shows his fist).
Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
-Bruce Lee

Breakfast of Champions





g'mornin' peeps!! thought I'd do a quickie post before my day got into full swing. As if you guys didn't already know this, I LOVE BAKING..I took a few extra minutes to make some biscuits this morning and I thought I'd share the recipe with you, you can also view the recipe here:

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons ice cold butter
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• Cinnamon Spiced Butter, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

Slice butter and put on a plate in the freezer.

Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until it looks like coarse sand. Add the buttermilk and continue to cut the dough together. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently bring together. Gently press the dough into a rectangle until it is between 1/2 and 3/4-inch thick.

Use a round cutter that has been floured to cut the biscuits. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.Remove biscuits from freezer and place on parchment paper on a baking sheet so they are touching each other. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.


I hope you all are having an awesome start to your weekend!! :o)

Work Related.

I've got a few meetings next month in Chicago and I needed some inspiration for possible outfits. Its always a toss up with me on work attire as to how creative I want to be with my ensembles since I work in the creative industry or should I be more conservative. When I was in school I always got lumped in with the fashion majors, I guess because the average female animation major was frolicking around campus in tutus or mouse ears or both...lol nothing wrong with that but I can't show up to interviews with mouse ears...or can I...?!
