New K(ick)s on the Block

Ok I know its been years (not literally) since I've done a posting on sneakers BUT I need the help of my readers. My niece, Ladybug, wants these sneakers however I've looked online and I cannot find them, in her size, anywhere. Im planning on going to Niketown this week and I might hit up some skateboarders shops just to cover all ground. The sneakers are Stefan Janoski SB

Jonez!
Now dont say you're going to help me look then flake out people!!

Mother knows Best?

During the time I've dated a few of my ex's I've had the pleasure of being accepted by their mothers. I mean Its only been a few people who I've been in a serious relationship with so I havent had to impress a lot of mothers but thats just my personality. Its sooooo much better when you can actually hold a meaningful conversation that includes his family members. As much as I value my time alone with the guy Im seeing, that time with him is enhanced when the family is involved.

In a past relationship my ex's mother wasnt all that receptive towards me. Dont get me wrong, I dont think that she didnt like me, I think she was still attached to his former girlfriend. And... thats normal, of course. I mean after he spent time with his ex its only normal that after a while, his family members would get attached to her. Im still attached to my cousin's ex girlfriend even though they are no longer together. I still act like she's my cousin in law (Is that a term?) because I've grown to like her and yes he has moved on with someone else. I wouldnt treat the new gf anything other than pleasant but B is still my number one pick.

Im laughing now thinking about an ex's mother whom we've had an interesting relationship. In the beginning, she liked me, we talked but things started to change after an event happened. Things were strained but I continued to be the person I am and soon enough things were back to normal. Time has past and I've recently spoke to her and she STILL makes me laugh at the crazy things she says. I wonder too if she's treating the new girlfriend nicely? I know she has a place for me in her heart and she'll always be a friend but I think she SHOULD take the time to get to know the new girl. I guess she's secretly hoping that her son and I will get back together. However in order for that to happen I'd have to move back to Baltimore and I dont see that happening no time soon. Plus he says his happy with her and as a friend I have to respect his choice in a girlfriend. I just want him to be happy and frankly thats not going to happen with me, we arent at the same place we was when we was together, which is a good thing. We have to grow right?

But in the back of my mind I do wonder if "Mother Knows Best?"

Handcuffin'

Alright, Alright, I already know that Summer will upon us sooner than later however I think (keyword) that I want a boyfriend. I know I've been preaching the importance of knowing who you are as individual first, but I know who I am as a person. I've been single for two yrs just about. Yes I've went on some dates and got to know a few people but now Its time to really put in the work to make someone that one for me. Please save the talk about it being summer and my time to hang out with multiple someones but I've been there and done that for the past two summers. And I should ask its been VERY fun, hell I even had a boo thang (or two) while in Los Angeles. Shout out to my Greggy!

However this is different, I want to be in a situation with another person. Im ready, 100% ready to put in the necessary actions to show someone else that I actually want to be with them. I know Im saying all this when the truth is Im not dealing with anyone... yes I have friends whom I hold conversation with. And yes maybe someone might (keyword) have caught my eye but just who that is, I'll keep to myself. The point is Im ready to be someones girlfriend... I think! (Laughing)

Jonez baby!

where'd you cop them? (Excessories Edition)

This season and going into the next its all about the flirty, floral, tribal prints. I've vowed never to wear a dress but as I get older I find myself longing to show my legs! So here are a couple of dresses from Nordstroms that Im sure will be seen this summer.

Oh and all the dresses are under 150$

she got a mean shoe GAME!

Im in need of some spring shoes but Im so used to my sneakers that I dont even know if I really want to buy some. However its my duty to continue to bring shoes that will help your ongoing collection. These shoes are Carlos Santana but I cant help but to remember these first appeared in last year collection for Steve Madden. Im having the worst time tryin to find the shoes but even still I love these shoes! Enjoy

Jonez

Oh and the price point is about 90$

she got a mean shoe GAME!

I dont think theres nothing to be said. Just cop them from Nordstroms!

Jonez

Nordstroms are always the first place I'd look for shoes because they are pretty much always on point. These retail for about 275$.

The Last Song

It breaks my heart to know that something I write could possibly affect someone else. I always thought that THIS blog was my own, to write as freely as I felt necessary. I have always had to censor myself around different people, but my blog was the one place where I could/would talk about ANYTHING I wanted. I respect anyone's opinion, esp if its different from my own. If everyone was a "yes man" how boring would the World become? Discussions fuel change, or at least I can only hope they do.

Unfortunately the recent events have caused me to realize not everything can be used for good and as much as I love having my thoughts broadcast to a wider audience, I think this is going to be the last posting thats streamed directly to Facebook. (I apologize to you Esse Mae) I know for the few who read my words and draw something positive, it'll be a bummer but Im still on blogger doing my thing. Ive known when its time to do what needs to be done and this is one of those times. Ive had many blogs on different networking sites so dont worry, I'll continue to ruffle people's feathers for the things I write. I mean what good author always agrees with their fan base?

Everyone who's made comments and supported me on facebook, I wholeheartedly thank you for helping me to grow as an artist and person. To those who have been there, my success is due in partly to you! Luvz ya.

And yes you can still hit me up on blogger at TRISTANJONEZ.BLOGSPOT.COM
Look out for a few more projects that Im working on.

Hugz and Kisses!

Only If Only

I learned a lil bit of information today, that kinda made me say hmm. My lil brother called me right before I jetted off to work. Usually he only calls during the weekend but there are a few exceptions. I would like to think of it as the closer we become the more he wants to speak to me. I love that he wants to call, talk to me, write letters, send photos, etc, It just lets me know that Im obviously doing something right.

So as some of you may or may not know, my lil brother and I arent blood related. I, at one point, dated his older brother but that relationship didnt work out. However I had already promised my lil brother that I would be here for him. So I could'nt just turn my back on him even though the relationship had fallen apart. So its been a good two years and change that Bob and I have been broken up and I can finally say, IM OVER HIM! Yes I know it took a lil while but yup I've did it.

Im starting to think my lil brother wants us back together. I mean its kinda like a kid who's parents go thru a divorce. Even though he knows that will never happen, he still wishes for it. Zaya, my lil brother, told me of a dream he had today, the dream was Bob and I going to see him together. I told him we can still hang out with him together but as friends, why do we have to be involved? I know he loves his brother very much and want to see him happy but hes forgetting a BIG piece of info... his brother has a girlfriend now.

Zaya and I dont know the official status of their relationship but either way its really no concern of mine. I cant worry about who my ex is currently sleeping with, Im pretty sure he wouldn't be concerned about minor details of my life. I know for a fact that only thing he would be concerned with is that Im treating Zaya right and doing all the things I said I would do. So even though my biggest joy is making my lil brother happy, I unfortunately wont be able to make his dream a reality.

where'd you cop them?

I dont want to be a fan of boat shoes but thats nearly impossible due to the overwhelming amounts of retailers making them. These are from converse but Im sorry I forgot how much they retail for.

where'd you cop them? (Excessories Edition)

So when I look at this clothing line I instantly think of my friend Chandice. I just hope that she likes it as much as I do or she'll be very upset with me. Now the clothing line is Tripp NYC but its basically things you can wear out, to clubs and what not. To me its a mix between goth, burlesque and girly. Enjoy!

Parents just DONT Understand.

I know that most parents believe they are making the right decisions when it comes to their children but guess what? Sometimes even YOU can be wrong. Its a lil disheartening because things can turn out differently if the parent just listens. Im not going to say a child is always right but they arent always wrong either. Communication is more than barking out instructions on what someone else should be doing. God gave us two ears and one mouth so that we would listen twice as much as we talk.

I mean you remember growing up and thinking your parent never listened to anything you had to say about things that directly affected you. It felt like you was sitting front row to your life but didnt have a say so in directing it. The relationship with my own mother was the greatest I could've EVER asked for. She took the time to listen to me and to give me a lot of freedom. I did the right thing with the freedom I was given and thats why I didnt have a curfew or other things that my family may have believed was necessary. I made good grades, participated in after school activities and did whatever else was required for me to continue to hold onto my freedom. Of course I was a kid and maybe had a drink or went somewhere I wasnt supposed to but you cant shield your child from everything. And the more you try to the more their curiosity peaks.

Sometimes to be a better parent you have to take directions (suggestions) from your own children. IF you've instilled the differences between right and wrong sometimes you have to trust in their judgement. If nothing else then trust in your parenting skills.

Looking to the Stars

This is my horoscope for today and I decided to post it because it makes the most sense for how Im currently feeling. Im constantly looking for my place in the World. Always looking for what Im supposed to be doing. Lately, I've been feeling the writing bug crawling up my leg these past few days. I've just been trying to calm my mind down a bit to actually focus on ONE set of characters. Maybe we'll see some progress in the next few days. Also my lil brother has been pushing me to write some more, he keeps sayin how good it is and that I need to go HARD. I think its time I took his advice! (Smiling)

Your horoscope for April 10, 2010
Freedom is likely to be a big theme for you, Tiffany. Now you are beginning to question: what is it you are trying to free yourself from? A person? A job? A commitment? Ironically these may be the very things you start searching for immediately after you free yourself from them. Trying to figure out what you want and need in your life is sometimes easier said than done. Don't get hung up on one particular concept. Do your best to take things one step at a time.

Anguish

Definition Anguish:
Suffer great pains or distress
Extreme mental distress
Cause emotional Anguish or make Miserable

I wonder if people knew the actual amounts of anguish they caused would they stop doing whatever it was that was causing pain? Im so convinced that people, obviously, only care about themselves. What pains me the most is that Im not that type of person. Everyday I wake up and wish that I was though. I wish that I could dump all of my responsibilities onto someone else, that I could just wake up and have not have to do the things that are very necessary. I think I've been more than pleasant in my actions and now Im done. Im done being nice and understanding, that ish is out of the window. If you cannot respect who I am and the things I've done for you then you need not be in my World.

I refuse to be taken advantage of any longer! Just as I can be nice & warm, I can be the nastiest individual you've ever met. Im a firm believer in Karma, so I try to resist being "That" person but please dont push me.

Not my EFFIN goodies

Hello MEN!! If you honestly want something, anything from a female then you have to put in the work. Im sorry you cant just be like "Yo I wanna Screw" and think that statement is going to get you the type of girl you are looking for in the long run. And guess what? Im not that type of girl. Any and every BS line you can think to give me, I've prolly given it to someone else. I grew up a tomboy, thinking like a boy,and watching the way guys handle and spoon fed females lines after lines. Im not the gullible kind, blame growing up in Bmore for that.

It just annoys me that guys think this type of tactic will work on me... I assure you it wont. If you really want to "do" me, then you need to screw my mind first. If you DONT go a different route, you'll be walking in tiresome circles. Please take heed to the advice I give, it will save you time and energy.

OH and If Im telling you in plain english, Im not going to do anything with you, Dont take it as a challenge.

According to Jonez

Dear Jonez,
My ex broke up with me a yr ago he has a girlfriend but tells me that he still has feelings for me.....now u dnt know what to do bcuz I always loved him n my feelings never changed.... I had somewhat two other relationships after him which didn't last long... Maybe it was bcuz physically I was tryna move on but my heart soul n mind was still with him.he told me that if I give him that chance to make it up to me for all the cheating he would show that he's changed for the best n how he doesn't love the person he's with now cuz she gets mad cuz all he does is talk about me... I want him back so bad but I'm so confused..I think about will it work will he actually leave her alone will he cheat on me again or do he just want me back bcuz now I play like I don't care..... Please help!!!!!!!
-R

Dear R,
Im not sure going back to him should be the move you make right now or in the near future. I know it sucks (Royally) to not be with the person you love the most but he made his choice when he cheated on you. You said "All the cheating", so Im assuming it was more than once? Ignorance is bliss until you find out what your significant other is doing behind your back. Do you think he would take you back if he knew you cheated on him multiple times?
Your ex is wrong for expressing his feelings to you when he still has a girlfriend. If he doesnt want to be with the one he is with then why is he with her? I seriously doubt his girlfriend is forcing him to stay with her. I dont know him to know if he is truly a changed man but it doesnt seem so.
After a break up, its crucial to take time to be single and enjoy that time alone. Being single isnt a curse, its def a blessing because you dont have to deal with anyone's emotions besides your own. You have to give yourself time to be able to move on. After my own break up I took about a year and half to be single. As much as I wanted to have a bf and be with my ex I knew I needed to put my own emotions in check.
I think if you have all these questions about how life would be with him again, then maybe you should think twice about letting him back into your life. Your heart may not be able to handle a break up and I would hate that. Sometimes the emotional damage will become a pattern for the next relationships you will have. I dont think your ex is trying right now. If he really wanted to be with you, then he would be trying to court you. He would be SINGLE, he would be trying to take things slowly, get to know you again, making plans for movies, and dinner and just showing you hes different. Anyone can talk a good talk but the proof is in his ACTIONS.
I would def hold off on making him your boyfriend, hell I would even stop talking to him for a while. Right now your focus should only be on you and making yourself better. Trust me, the right man will come along when you least expect it and sweep you off your feet. However he cant do that, if your still holding a dirty broom (Your Ex)

No usually means No?

Im not sure how annoyed I am. I can usually tell people in degrees but today I cant. Lets just say its produced its own headache. So since my friend Kayla has been telling me I need to meet new people and stop being so antisocial, thats what Ive been trying to do. The other day an old friend came back into my life, I thought it would be nice to get to know them again since we've been out of touch for a few years. However since I've been reconnecting he's kinda been pressuring me to become sexual with him. I've said NO, numerous times but its like Im not speaking at all. Dude even went as far as to say I cant stop him from doing what he's going to do... I was like ok, well then your going to rape me?

And this is the reason I walk with my ipod blasting. I dont want to have to deal with people who think women are only here for their amusement. Why cant I meet people like those in the books I read and write about? Someone who actually wants to get to know me BEFORE they jump into bed with me? I'll just keep waiting for that man to come along, I can feel he's right around the corner!

-Jonez boo!

she got a mean shoe GAME!

If I have to fight someone to get these shoes then that's what I plan on doing! These Betsy Johnson shoes caught me be surprise, I usually dont do the ultra girly thing but I really like these shoes. They retail for about 150$ but they are as versatile as the little black dress.

Brotherly Love

Today I was feeling a lil like blah, and there wasnt a good reason for it. Except it was a nice day and I would have rather not come to work but oh wells. So maybe thirty minutes after I got here I got a phone call from my lil brother! It was such a surprise because usually he only calls on Saturday, but I had just seen him on Sunday. At first I thought somethin was wrong but it wasnt. He said he just wanted to speak to me. (AWWWWW) I was like boy, you make me feel special and thats supposed to MY job with you. It just shows how by doing something so small as a phone call he made me feel THAT much better.

Jonez

Oh P.S. I love you Zaya!
