Real Cooking with Maya the B! Real Meal #1: Egg White Omelette w/ Arugula Salad

Filed Under Real Cooking with Maya the B | 2 Comments

Check out the 1st show off my new webisode series, Real Cooking with Maya the B. In this segment- I’ll show you how to make a really easy breakfast dish that’s not only impressive in look, but nutritious and delicious! lol You might see a new level of corniness coming out of your girl! Ha. But on a serious note I really feel like a lot of people in their 20’s and 30’s don’t know how to cook a meal that doesn’t require a microwave. We need to take charge of our lives now and make a change for our future. You are what you eat! Take a little time and invest it in yourself. You’re worth it! Plus your friends, significant others and family will be totally impressed if you can whip something up in the kitchen that looks and tastes like you got it from a restaurant. These are essential skills that every human being should have- we’re just going to have fun with it and get creative! I always have random shit in my fridge so I end up throwing together all kinds of stuff that magically turn into a great dish. Don’t get it twisted- sometimes things don’t turn out the way you had hoped but that’s the beauty of cooking- you can try, try again until you get it right.

So without further ado, check out the first of many to come. I’m doing everything- directing, producing, creating and (wo) manning the camera with one hand while cooking so be easy on me when it comes to the critiquing! Although I love what you guys have to tell me and will use it to make this series the best it can be. Also- send me in your recipes so that I can try some of your most popular dish on my show!

Juan Martin del Potro defeats Federer for US Open title

Filed Under Uncategorized | 5 Comments

It was very cool being in on the US Open action this year. I was fortunate enough to watch some matches midway through the tournament. Yesterday was a huge night because the previous US Open title holder and favorite Roger Federer lost to the 6′6 Argentinian, del Potro.

Here’s an interesting read from People.com

I guess this is the kind of shit that happens to people who think buffalo wings are, in fact, buffalo

Filed Under Uncategorized | 7 Comments

So, as I’m checking out the news and gossip today- I see a caption saying “Jessica Simpson’s Dog Snatched by Coyote.” Of course I clicked it with the screw face wondering how things like this can even happen. But, then again, it’s Jessica Simpson and a blond moment can happen at any given time. As I read further into another bizarre happening in the month of September- she tweeted this:

“My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR!”

By blond moment I mean this:

Jessica Simpson's Dog Snatched by Coyote

Does she really think her dog is missing at this point? Does she really believe that this coyote, adopted her dog and made her part of his pack? More like a SNACK for his pack. Wisful thinking or pinhead of the week? I have a dog via my sister who I love dearly and would probably wrestle a friggin coyote if it came near her but I also know when to let go. Unfortunately the chances that Daisy comes back at all, are very low.

Tricky lil devil: Kanye West back in our hearts? or at least in our speakers

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

#youmadeit when Obama is calling you a jackass! lol

Kanye West blogged an apology/rant and then went on Jay Leno to further explain his side of the story. He also said this:

“I feel like Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave. That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.”

NOTE: People still clapping and screaming loud as ever!

I know Jay was back stage like “no tears, Ye, NO TEARS!” lol but I think this shows a different, more human side of Kanye. If anything, this emotional interview made me fuck with him more. Have I been punked? LOL

GIVE TAYLOR A BEAT!!! LOL

Bizaaro World flashback: Lil Mama gets body checked

Filed Under Uncategorized | 3 Comments

I think it’s funny that Jay and Beyonce were put in uncomfortable situations and handled their biz in rectifying it. B did it with words & action. Jay just with action. LOL. He did a good job restraining himself from whipping Lil Mama off the stage by her yaki. Was there free lines in the bathroom? Or is this the doing of Mercury being in retrograde? Either way, these strange events made the VMA’s more exciting and interesting this year.

Why are things so wacky in September? Mercury is in Retrograde!

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

MPj04331350000[1]
Have things been out of wack for you this September? Don’t worry, everyone is going through it. Mercury is in retrograde which means that the planet is moving backwards, making forward progression feel like you’re stuck in the mud. Don’t worry, on September 29th this time will pass and on the 18th of October things will start getting back to normal. But this is a perfect time to look back in RETROspect and see if there’s anything you could’ve done better or differently. Check out this explanation from Dr. Z- makes the most sense out of the others I’ve found.

Dr Z Looks at Mercury Retrograde – Making a Deal with the Planetary Deal-Maker

Yep! It would seem, during the past few decades, the term “Mercury Retro” has been slowly seeping into popular consciousness and has even taken on an honorary role in Sun Sign astrology.

In fact, unless they’ve been hiding under a rock, the average person knows that there are 12 Zodiac signs and something nefarious called “Mercury Retrograde.”

Communication, Commerce, and Everyday Routines
The astrological planet Mercury, named for the wing-footed Roman god of “communications, commerce, and everyday routines,” seldom gets much attention in astrology. That is… he seldom gets much attention until those (3 to 4 times) times each year that he briefly turns “retrograde” in the transiting (moving) sky.

Yep! When Mercury turns “retrograde,” the archetypal planet of communications, Mercury suddenly gets blamed for just about anything (and everything) that does or might go “wrong.”

Retrograde Planets in General
For the “uninitiated,” a retrograde planet is a planet that (when viewed from the perspective of the earth) appears to have stopped and then temporarily reverses its regular movement through the sky. The planet then goes “retrograde” (backwards). After a certain length of time (depending upon the planet involved), the planet then appears to once again stop and reverse its movement through the sky. The planet then goes “direct” and is back on it’s normal cyclic path through the sky.

Mercury Retro
The traditional astrological meaning assigned to Mercury going “retrograde” in the sky is that one should prepare for and gird themselves for unexpected delays, frustrations, and surprises in everyday life. This includes everyday routines in commerce, commuting back and forth to work, and in one’s communications.

During the (very) approximate 24 day periods when Mercury turns “retrograde” in the sky, in the area of commerce, astrologers generally recommend delaying the signing of contracts and/or delaying any other important life decisions. It is a period of time thought to be better spent in reflection and in the rethinking of things.

However, since Mercury Retrograde generally occurs 3 to 4 times a year, one cannot rationally put everything “on hold” every time mischievous Mercury decides to go “retro.” That’s why I stated “one should prepare for and gird themselves for unexpected delays, frustrations, and surprises.”

The Lighter (or perhaps Deeper) Side of Mercury Retro

There’s an ancient Roman saying: “Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit.” Called or not called, the god will be there.

Taking heed of and honoring this ancient maxim is so vital and valuable that I’ve even got it hanging next to my home’s front door.

RIP my first crush: Patrick Swayze

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Sheesh has this been a rough two months for us or what? Mercury is in retrograde until the 29th of this month so just a little more time until this bumpy ride lands smoothly on the ground. I’ll explain Mercury in retrograde in another post. This is all about Patrick Swayze. The man that I loved at age 7, I guess because he reminded me so much of my own dad. His early death is tragic and heartbreaking to all of those whose life he affected. So today- we shall remember Patrick Swayze. We will keep him alive through speaking about him, watching his movies and holding him dear in our hearts and minds. As we do with all our fallen angels.

Wiki Fact: Patrick Swayze and his father both passed away at age 57. Patrick was a leo, birthday just passed on August 18th.

and I’m Swayze! <—he even had slang named after him!

VMA Recap- night cap to Mr. West <–if Pink won would it be different?

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Most of you heard my reaction to Kanye West’s outburst during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech via twitter. SHOCKED!!! How do you steal someone’s shine so blatently? The girl was on the verge of tears and this rainbow chaser snatches her mic and says Beyonce had the best video. LOL. Sounds like someone is wearing a leotard under their skinny jeans. Bottom line is- this is not the Kanye West awards- no one gives a FUCK what you think. I’m still appalled….

Beyonce did the noble thing and let Taylor have a second shot at accepting her first moonman. I will say that Young Swift did not reciprocate the gesture with an appropriate “thanks” to B after she tried to right a wrong. Anyhow, overall- these were the best VMA’s I’ve seen in a long time. Wish Janet did a little more for the MJ tribute but I think we can all understand why she didn’t.

Here’s the photo of Kanye taking down a bottle of Henny on the red carpet. He was eventually escorted out of the award show.
