I like to be unique, so I will talk about food, JUST like everyone else. WHAT is THE ultimate recipe you ask? Well, it has already been discussed that I really enjoy pizza. I also enjoy pasta! Any type of pasta with red sauce and italian-like seasoning and loads of vegetables always does well with me. I love the taste of italian seasoning mixed with fresh tomatoes in spaghetti with wheat noodles.
ANYWAYS...outside of food, although food is awesome, I am going to talk about the ultimate recipe. I'd prefer to talk about the ultimate recipe regarding my life in general. Currently, the ultimate recipe would be for everything to balance out. I love learning, but I don't currently have much inspiration to do class work. I don't really enjoy going to school anymore because it seems as if most of my classes are pointless. I would enjoy a day where I could learn things that I want to learn and go to classes that I wanted to go to and learn that's that I find enjoyable to learn. I would love to go to Economics classes each day, but not Earth Space Science. I would love to read about the things going on around me and read assigned books in my Philosophy class, but not so much my Composition and Language class.
A current ultimate recipe would not include any classes that I do not enjoy, or homework that I do not enjoy. An ultimate recipe would be spending more time with friends and less time doing homework. An ultimate recipe would be the freedom and extended time to do homework. Unfortunately, I can not have my current ultimate recipe. But, I am making another ultimate recipe that will be fully prepared within the next few years.
In college, I plan on having more time to do homework, more freedom (hopefully), and being able to spend more time with my friends and building connections and relationships that are necessary to proceed in this world. My ultimate recipe beyond college is working for one of the big four accounting firms and moving my way up in ranks. I hope to have a lasting relationship and friendships and maybe even a family. My ultimate recipe is to be successful: working, helping others, having friendships and a relationship, and involved in this world in a positive way. Feel free to stand back and watch me as I prepare this lovely Ultimate Recipe. (Feel FREE to help me along the way. All great people in this world have been helped along the way. One great person is ultimately the product of many strong individuals.)

FOOD FOOD FOOOOOOOOD!!!
Everyone likes FOOD, messy food, finger food, appetizers, chinese, soul food, you name it and someone out there enjoys it. I don't have a specific type of food that I enjoy, but one thing is for sure. That is that I absolutely LOVE pizza. For that reason, I really enjoy going to Giordanos on those special occasions. It really seems to make my day ten times brighter, although after eating, I will most definitely have stomach issues. Although I most definitely enjoy Giordanos, they get a five star rating from me, I am not reviewing them in this article. The restaurant that I am reviewing is a Thai restaurant that I visited with a former classmate, Michele Garcia, and my boyfriend.
The restaurant that we visited is one of a kind, in my eyes. There are not a lot of restaurants like it downtown, especially in the area that it happens to be located. The restaurant is called Star of Siam, and this was our first time visiting the place.
I am not a big fan of asian food that isn't the traditional American crap that all of the fast food American-Chinese restaurants cook. This was my first time eating something, that wasn't from an asian friend's kitchen, that was more traditional. I ordered some type of beef meal that had none other than beef, I think, and a ton of vegetables. The meal was fabulous and I really enjoyed how fresh the meal was. There was bell peppers, broccoli, and other things that I can't remember all in this one dish served with peanut sauce. I ate and was full by the time that I finished. Everyone else around me did the same. I rate the food a definite five stars for Thai food, although I don't have any other Thai food to compare it to.
As far as the whole aesthetics of the restaurant itself, I would rate it maybe a four and a half to a five. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and how the seats were close to the ground and all. I didn't enjoy that the seats that we sat in did not provide any back support. Over all, I feel that I got my money's worth and that if I were to go back (which I will), I will definitely be getting a seat with a BACK! :)

Dr. Martin Luther King...There's a Day for That?
Can you tell me what day Dr. Martin Luther King Day is? Oh, you say you didn't know that was a day, huh? Well, it is indeed a day that is celebrated on the third Monday of each January in America. This year, 2011, it was celebrated on January 17th, which is two days after his birthday, January 15th. Many people believe that the day that his life is "celebrated" is or was the day he was born, but many years, that is not the case.
It seems to me, as popular as Dr. Martin Luther King is/was, not enough people know about his accomplishments and about him as a person. From the appearance of things, this day is just another of those days that people get out of school or off of work and they don't pay too much attention to the actual significance of the day or of the man that this day is celebrating. I believe that many holidays have actually taken this route in America. Many students don't really care what day they get off, they just eagerly greet the day with optimism, knowing that they can spend their time at home in the bed or hanging out with friends all day.
With this said, I think that when 2012 comes around, I will take the time to learn more about Dr. Martin Luther King and the movement that he was in. I will also pay homage to all of the other individuals that helped in the same movement as Dr. King that do not got paid as much respect: Rosa Parks, W. E. B. Du Bois, Malcolm X, etc.

Shoes Are Smelly
So, I get the privilege of being a shoe, huh? Well, what type of shoe is best? I have no clue to that question. What type of shoe is best for ME? I would have to go with a business man's shoe or an international traveler. There are many things to say about a shoe, so here we go.
First of all, a shoe can tell you a lot about a person. What type of shoe a man wears can give you a lot of insight into their lives and their work. For instance, if a man wears a heavy duty work boot that looks worn out a bit, you might be able to assume that he is a construction worker. If a man wears a nice, professional looking, sleek leather shoe, it may be reasonable to assume that he is going somewhere that causes him to dress up. Maybe, this man holds a "high" job in a major field. This is the reason that I'd love to be a business man's shoe. I would have an air of sophistication. I'd feel important in some way.
A man's shoe ultimately goes many places. In business, it is sometimes required that you travel to many places outside of your office. For instance, my auntie works in business and she is called upon to travel many places around the world: Hong Kong, Paris, California, Atlanta, etc. To be able to see all of these places and to say that you've been there would be amazing. The same goes with an international traveler, which I feel would be even better. An international traveler isn't necessarily traveling for work purposes and therefore may have a lot more fun than a businessman. To be a shoe would be an amazing experience. To see the world from that point of view, would be priceless.
