Eat your veggies.

12.31 am- Good morning people. I've been feeling lethargic and queasy. The emotional whirlwind has landed on my happy plot of ground. And I can barely make sense of things seemingly simple...
A friend asks, 'have you gone lesb?' -_- The answer is, no. '...Gone cold-hearted bi***?' Maybe... It's the weather people! (Right, blame it on the weather). Well, whatever it is life goes on and so many things are happening at every second. ..I need to device a plan...

BROWSES of TODAY:

A rape victim states her disbelief at the short prison term and release of her attacker. - Nearly 20 years ago she was the victim of rape at a fraternity party and it was an atrocious act done upon her. But after receiving an apology letter from her attacker following his arrest, he was released after just 6 months of serving jail time . [CLICK HERE]

Although it's been 2 decades since the committed crime I still feel unjust for the sentence of the guilty one. It certainly shouldn't be brushed aside that he owned up to his crime and he sent a letter of apology even after the decades have passed by. But still, the crime in question itself should not to be taken lightly despite taking place a very long time ago and the remorse only surfacing after.

A self-described pedophile is arrested near a day care. [CLICK HERE] to watch video

I know there are worst cases out there (sickly). But it's still freaky. He's supposedly hasn't violated any law yet his behavior stems from an illness of the mind! He hasn't committed any crime--yet. Seriously, it all starts from the mind... C A U T i O N ! HELLO.

[Okay, this is not supreme news but i wanted to add it in anyway :) ]- I've been watching William L. Sledd on YOUTUBE ('Ask A Gay Man'). I know it's probably 'off-limits' to some of you...but out of curiosity, heck! (<--please don't ignorantly apply this line to simply anything...) Anyway I find him an amusing character and an undeliberate charm! He actually reminds me of someone I dearly know... anyways, it's just one of the interesting tiny pieces of human character that make up the rest of the world : ) (thanks for the link vivi ^^)

SUPER FOOD of the day:

Broccoli Sprouts!
[source: health.msn.com/]



Yes, we've been through thisbroccoli, good. The news: Broccoli sprouts are even better. At a mere 3 days old, they contain at least 20 times as much of disease-fighting sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS) as their elders; SGS has been shown to:

Kill tumors

The chemical triggers enzymes in the body that either kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. Just 1 ounce of sprouts has as much SGS as 1 1/4 pounds of broccoli. That'll save you lots of chewing.

Protect your heart

People who ate about a half cup a day of sprouts lowered their total cholesterol by an average of 15 points, and women in the study raised their good cholesterol by 8 pointsin just 1 week, found a Japanese pilot study.

Save your sight

Exposure to UV sunlight over time may lead to an eye condition called macular degeneration, which is the number one cause of blindness in US seniors. Researchers at Johns Hopkins determined that broccoli sprouts can protect retinal cells from ultraviolet light damage.
