Her Health: Why I ride.
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 by Samantha Clarke
It's been about a week and a half that I've been using my bike as transportation. In the past, I would only use it on occasion for some mild exercise and to keep up with my sister - the running extraordinaire.
Now, I use my bike on a daily basis to get any and everywhere. Class, library, and the grocery store are my main destinations as of late. The life of a grad student..
The benefits of riding are endless. Let me explain:
- Get additional exercise and burn extra calories!
- You don't feel too bad if you can't make it to the gym.
- Won't need coffee during classes or work because the ride perks you up!
- It totally relieves stress, like most physical activity does.
- Cycling makes for some killer legs!
- You can change routes and see new things on the way. Things you would zip by if you were driving.
- No parking costs! trees and bike racks are freee.99!
- Do a small part towards saving our environment!
Do you ride to work or school? If not, TRY IT!
And tell us how it goes in a comment below!

Her Passion: Ginger & Spud

Although I'm allergic, I just couldn't help myself! They smiled, sat up, rolled over, and yawned for the camera. The easiest subjects to shoot thus far.
Meet Ginger and Spud.

Her Commentary: Serena and Kanye have NO broughtupsy!
Sunday, September 13, 2009 by Samantha Clarke
I should be finishing my readings for class tomorrow, but I really really need to get this out and hear some opinions on this topic.
Since when is it okay to act out? Serena and Kanye both went off this weekend and I'm pretty saddened by the poor judgment they displayed.
Check out Kanye at the VMAs tonight:
**The video has been removed by Youtube**
...and Serena at the US Open:
For those that aren't familiar with the term "brougtupsy" (pronounced bráw tùpsee) let me explain. It's a term describing the way in which a person was raised or the lack of manners they were taught at a young age in a pretty negative way. It's a common West Indian or Caribbean term used to describe someone's lack of tact or common decency. Look it up here.
From what I know of these two and their upbringing, I'm almost certain they were taught better behavior than they displayed in these instances. What kills me is that I am a huge fan of both of them, but I really feel like they could have handled themselves differently. I don't support their behavior and agree with the consequences that may follow.
In Serena's situation her outburst resulted in her losing the opportunity to defend her title in the finals, which is a costly lost on her part. **Update: Did you know she's being fined $10,000 for her "unsportsmanlike conduct" and an additional $500 for "racquet abuse" — she threw her racquet at the end of the first set.** Kanye on the other hand, will most likely continue on with little to no penalty.
Granted, he was right; Beyonce did have the best video, but is that the way to share your opinion? I'm pretty sure they will stop inviting him to the VMAs altogether. (or maybe invite him to everything just to stir the pot?) It was just plain disrespectful! I'm aware that Serena's foot-faults were called throughout the whole tournament; a call rarely made. And I'm also aware that she was in the heat of the game, where there is a chance to lose sight of the decent and professional way of handling a bad call. I've been guilty of screaming obscenities in the middle of a match...
BUT, does that make it OK? NO!
I do love these two, but they need a swift kick IMO.
What do you think?

Her Travel: Missin' Tobago
Saturday, September 12, 2009 by Samantha Clarke
My dream last night was on a beach in Tobago...
Dr3 and I visited the island of Tobago 8 months ago. An amazing place Northeast of Dr3's home, Trinidad. It was the most amazing trip ever. The weather, the beaches, the people, the FOOD - all AMAZING!
One week in Tobago wasn't enough. Among the places I visited were: Store Bay, Grange Bay, Mount Irvine, Charlottesville, and of course the capital of Scarborough. We went on a tour of the whole island! Here are a few of my favorites from the trip, however, my suggestion is to visit for yourself to see exactly what I'm talking about.
Shandy sorrel with fish & chips!
he was hungry...
rough waters! haha...
us on new years eve @ Grange Bay
All photos taken by Dr3 and I.
Can't wait for our next visit.

SJ
