Sometimes, we need a reminder –– a constant throbbing, a gnawing that serves as proof of life and love –– that we were once here and we lived.

Sometimes, you just want to make sure you never forget that first kiss. Those words. That one time you laughed so hard, you cried.

Sometimes, you never want to forget the pain so you inflict it onto yourself and writhe in orgasmic pleasure as it scratches your skin.

As it buzzes and hums.

I cum when I’m tattooed.

I have the most intense orgasms from the moment the needle touches my skin and begins, insistently, making me remember.

Forever.

Pain excites me. It sends waves of euphoric heat through my body and it massages my walls with serotonin fingers.

It kneads me on the inside.

It needs me on the inside.

There are only two people in the world who know what it means. This number. This 56. But everyone in the world knows what it means to love something or someone so much it hurts.

So much that you don’t mind when it hurts.

So much that when it hurts, you cum.

I am addicted to pain and I thrive within it.

It is from where every word comes.

It is from where ever word cums.

And everyday from this day, until the day I die, there will be this 56 to remind me of that pleasure, that pain, and my dedication to them, both.

My dedication to them.

Both.

[Clean Up Your Drinking Habit]

Throughout the Fourth Quarter Clean Up, we’ll go back and forth between topics and there’ll be lots to learn along the way however, nothing we discuss here will be nearly as important as your health.

Those of you who have followed my various blogs and tweets over the years should be fully aware of my propensity for fresh juice. Now, I do own a Breville Juicer, which I adore, but find it hard to use it all the time. Mostly, in the interest of time and cleanliness, I buy my juices from the grocer.

The two juice staples in my home are Carrot and Superfood or Green Machine by either Odwalla or Naked.

Now, I want to take a second and talk about juice because all juices are not created equally. As a basic rule, do not buy juice that is not in the refrigerator section of your local grocer. The reason is simple, and this goes for all foods; if it’s not refrigerated, it’s preserved and food which is preserved is high in sodium and contain too many things you can’t even pronounce of define. So, walk right pass the warm juice section.

Thank you.

Okay, now that we’re in the refrigerator section, no everything here is pure, natural, or without preservatives. So, this is the part where you’re going to have to do a little bit of reading. Here’s what to look for:

Juice labels are downright misleading, so we asked nutritionist Lauren Slayton of foodtrainers.net for tips on how to pick the good stuff. 

Don’t be swayed by buzzwords. Claims like “heart-healthy” or “antioxidant-rich” are regulated by the FDA-but that doesn’t mean the juice isn’t packed with sugar or other additives. Scan the nutritional panel to see how a product stacks up (pay close attention to calories and sugar). 

Make sure it’s pure. Steer clear of products with “natural flavors” (typically made with corn syrup), “concentrate” (highly processed juice that has more sugar than nutrients), artificial sweeteners and food coloring. If you want pure cranberry juice, the bottle should say “100 percent cranberry juice”-end of story. 

Beware of juice “cocktails.” Also avoid “light” juices and any that are described as a “drink” or “punch.” These red flags usually indicate that a product has minimal fruit juice and lots of added sugar and artificial ingredients. (Source: Yahoo)

Basically, I only have one rule when shopping for juice; there should be not one other thing in the list of ingredients beside for the juice I need.

Now, these juices aren’t cheap, but they are worth it. So, skimp on something that may not be as necessary or healthy and put your dollars toward your health. I glass a day is better than no glasses a day!

With these juices, I get more veggies and fruit in my diet than I would if I depended on myself to eat them. The results are obvious in the way I feel and look. This is a great habit to start this FQCU, if you haven’t already.

And, of course, if you would rather make your own juice, that’s even better! We’ll discuss this and helpful recipes in another post.

[NOTE] There are so many people who complain about running out of energy and turn to chemically enhanced products like Red Bull or 5 Hour Energy, without knowing what is in these lab rat concoctions and the harm they can cause to your liver, kidneys, heart and so forth. First and foremost, you’re running out of energy because of what you are and aren’t putting into your body. Unhealthy food and drinks will only slow you down, as will caffeine and added, processed sugar, once their initial affects wear off. We’ll talk more about this as the FQCU continues, but, in the meantime, if you need a boost of energy, grab a Superfood or a Green Machine. You can find them most anywhere in several sizes and they are packed with energy producing greens and natural fruit sugars that’ll give you a boost. Your body will thank you.

There’ll be more juice news tomorrow, in the form of a cleanse. Stay tuned!

[Clean Up Your Ape-Like Body]

Personally, I am not into the work it takes for me to remain hairless.

It’s just so tedious!

My hair is very thick and there are two to three strands growing from each follicle. I have more hair, per square inch, than most people –– from head to toe.

On top of that, my skin is very sensitive and razors irritate me the more often I shave. But, to remain hairless, I’d have to shave often because my hair grows fast!

But shaving is just so bad for my skin! So, I wax.

Over at Pink Cheeks in Sherman Oaks, CA, they are all about hair removal. I visited them, yesterday to strip my body bare.

Ouch!

For those of you who are considering waxing and wondering how it feels, let me be frank.

It hurts like hell.

Now, like most things that hurt like hell, the more you do it, the less it hurts but it’ll will never not hurt. Waxers recommend taking a couple Advil before getting the hair ripped out of your body from the root but I can’t imagine how that would help.

Here are a few pointers:

• The pain is sharp and fast. Try taking a deep breath and bracing yourself for each pull. It’ll hurt, put it’ll be over in a second. Literally.
• I would not recommend waxing your entire body all at once; it’ll feel like your body is going into shock. Try one body part at a time if you’re a newbie.
• The thicker and coarser your body hair, the more painful. Try Advil but, if you have been prescribed something stronger by a doctor, take that!
• Be sure to exfoliate before 24 hours beforehand. In fact, you should exfoliate everyday with exfoliating gloves to help keep your skin smooth and for a deeper clean.
• Keep an eye on your waxer and be sure he or she is not a double dipper! Clean applicators should be used for each dip into the hot wax.
• Ask around for a waxer who uses natural body wax made from refined spun honeybee’s wax and 100% Egyptian cotton muslin strips.

Ofcourse, there are other ways to remove hair –– less painful ways, I’m sure! But, if you decide to wax, good luck!

LOL I know seriously ouch!
