The lyrics to India Arie "Video"

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I dont
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I wont
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul


Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen,
Im not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria

When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where its supposed to be
And I know our creator didnt make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; Im lovin what I see

(chorus) Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodelBut, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
Im not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria


Am I less of a lady if I dont wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady aint what she wears but, what she knows
But, Ive drawn a conclusion, its all an illusion, confusions the name of the
Game

A misconception, a vast deception
Somethings gotta change
Dont be offended this is all my opinion
Aint nothing that Im sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share wit
Yall
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Free your mind, nows the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourselfcuz everythings gonna be all right

(chorus)


Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I dont need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your crisp style and your pistol
Id rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Dont need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria

India Arie "Video"

Tonight at church went a little different. They split the girls up from the boys and the boys went into another room and the boys talked about porn while the girls talked about Self Worth. The girl who talked to us had us listen to this song:

Chihuly.... the glass artist

this is the glass artist who had done all these amazing art pieces below!!! (the reason why he has a black patch over his one eye is because he got in a bad car incident a long time ago and started off wearing a glass eye but then soon found it hard to out that in and moved onto wearing just a patch.) he has an amazing group of people who help him accomplish his works of art. he draws out what he wants and helps them design it as they go. his team is just as amazing as his art pieces! they looked soooo cool in the garden that one night!!! he did a really good job!

glass art at night.....

glass art in the afternoon.....

My Puppy is very interesting.....but still cute!

Ok so I'm walking to my room and I glance over into my brother's room and this is what I see! My dog laying on my brother's bed with her HEAD ON THE PILLOW?!?!?! "what?!?" she was doing this last night ,too, while I was watching a movie with my parents!! It was really weird! Yeah...my dog is not your average dog....shes a diva!

Boredom with my camera

I took this picture yesterday in the mid afternoon when I was all done with my school work. I had nothing else to do but wait until I had to leave for the park. So I decided to take my good old camera out and take some interesting and fun pictures! Here is one of them! I angled the camera in the mirror that is right outside my room. (that's my bed room door you see in the background) It was really fun!

Play Time!!!!

Today was an amazing day! I had sooo much fun doing something that I have not done in a long time! I went to a park and actually played on the swings and ran around and played on an actual play set......or play ground!! I forgot how much fun it is to play on one of those things!!! I had an absolute ball swinging!!! i forgot how that feels when the wind hits your face when your coming forward! LOL!! I just had sooo much fun today you have no idea!!! LOL!!!!
