Allyn Beth Brown - Be Green!

Here’s a bunch of ideas I threw together in the spirit of the new year. I want to be more green! Green is for cool people.

- take stairs
- NO plastic bottles
- buy razor blades instead of full razors
- recycled toothbrush
- read labels
- eat local fresh organic
- wear a pin to remind yourself to be green
- eat less meat (meat takes more resources)
- start an eco food blog with photos
- wash clothes with cold water (saves tons of energy)
- buy special light bulbs
- unplug items when not in use
- only leave fridge door open when needed
- take short shower
- brush your teeth outside of the shower (saves water!)
- less toilet paper
- hang dry more clothes
- green energy
- online banking
- rechargable batteries
- green concert tickets

life is short

I feel amazing today!!! I feel like I’m listening to my heart. I know what I want and how I’m going to get it.

Ladies listen up! No matter how hard things get or how crazy your life is it’s never too late for change. You can do anything your heart desires if you try hard enough. If there’s something negative that’s bringing you down the solution is simple… you don’t need it and you don’t deserve it. Even if you do deserve it life is way too short for negativity.

I saw a quote today on a clients email signature. I think it sums it up pretty well.

LIFE IS SHORT, BREAK THE RULES, FORGIVE QUICKLY, LOVE FREELY, LAUGH UNCONTROLLABLY, AND NEVER REGRET ANYTHING THAT MADE YOU SMILE

Allyn Beth Brown at Lake Merrit

I’m just chillin at the Lilypad. Me, Gavilan, Vega, Aww little Askum I can hear him breathing and dreaming :) . We ran two miles today! Around beautiful Lake Merritt. Even little Askum tagged along. OMG! I tried casual carpool today hehehe. I was a little skeptical at first but right when I walked up the bus took off so I decided to give it a shot! It wasn’t that bad :) The two people in the car didn’t say a single word so it was nice and peaceful ;) . The talk radio on the other hand was disturbing! I can’t believe people start their day with so much negativity. Not cool! :)

Final Note — Animals can and will get along.

whats little bethy up to?

Allyn Beth Brown at Snoop Dog Concert

So I know you must be wondering what I’ve been up to… I went to Outside Lands this past weekend! I must say Tenacious D was FREAKIN AWESOME!!! My ultimate favorite show. And of course Incubus’ seductive ass! Man that boy knows he’s cute and will definitely take advantage haha. I missed Atmosphere UNFORTUNATELY! The one band I really really wanted to see. I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

Outside of Outside Lands I’ve been working and cleaning fun fun fun! I work for a new company now called Crushpad. I must say it’s been a great experience so far. Here is an article that talks about some of the people here and what we do… http://www.packagingdigest.com/article/CA6686076.html. Or you can go to www.crushpadwine.com. It’s a really neat place to be and I’m excited to learn how to make wine! Most of my time is spent working on the shopping carts for all the wine brands we support :) I think I’m going to learn to love wine by the time this is over. I had some mighty tasty bubbly yesterday when we kicked off harvest! Yay!

I know I’ve been super busy and somewhat neglectful.
I should learn to be more respectful ;)
There’s just too many things on my mind.
I can barely find the time to be myself.
Focused on health… happiness and wealth.
Searching for freedom beneath the stealth.
Uncertain.
Still hurtin.
But knowing deep down I will succeed.
Damn this sucks… I’m always in need.
So what’s next?

Final Note — Love thy self!

new blog!

August 22nd, 2009

I'm such a goober

So i have a new blog :) well it probably looks exactly like my old one but it’s actually new and improved. Now people can leave me comments! And if you have a gravatar it will show up automatically. I’m also excited to announce I have categories and archives oh my. I plan on posting a brand new comic strip series too! my first comic strip is near on its way… currently in sketch form.

I’m loving word press so far! It’s going to make adding a blog post super easy and convenient. I can’t believe I had a static blog… crazy times call for crazy measures ;) . I’m also launching a new music website. I’ve already completed the website design. Now I just have to customize word press to match my design. The site is basically to allow me to share my music with my friends… but who knows where it will take me to.

moving to the city!

June 8th, 2009

Allyn Beth Brown

So it’s been awhile since I’ve written… my deepest apologies :) . I guess I’ve just had sooo much going on I haven’t had the time. It’s one change after the next! I have a boyfriend now which is crazy (not my boyfriend! but the fact that i have one haha). Definitely different then being single for 3 years. Sorry boys I know I just broke your hearts hehe.

BIG NEWS!!! I’m moving to the city! Yup… that’s right. I’m moving to SOMA district this month! I’m beyond excited :) I’ll no longer be a Daly City girl… It’s official. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time but haven’t really had the time or money! I can’t believe it’s finally happening. Things are definitely looking up.

Another positive thing… I’ve been reading! Trying to expand my knowledge on today’s web technologies. It’s insane how much information is out there. I feel so intrigued to learn more and more. Hopefully my brain can soak it all up and pass it on to others.

Oh yah! Shout out to Catrina Rose Molina! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I don’t know where you are :( And I don’t have your phone number because my last phone died. But I’d like to say I hope you have a nice day and I’ll be thinking of you.

Final Note — People never regret the things they did in life… they only regret the things they didn’t do.

satisfaction

Allyn Beth Brown Looking Fly

My sober mind is hard to please
My indecisive nature is never at ease
Always in thought of what could have been…

It’s crazy how so many people nowadays are never satisfied with what they have. We always want something else and by the time we get it our brain has already shifted on to something new. Maybe it’s a safety net… to protect ourselves from disappointment. If that thing you so desperately desired isn’t what it was cracked out to be who cares…
at least you got it.

Change is “good” but what if you’re addicted to change? Part of me strives on perfection and routine yet another part of me despises it and longs for adventure.

Final Note — Change is definitely good

Allyn Beth Brown in a Flower Garden

I feel so happy today. Doing good things for yourself and others is a great way to boost your self esteem. I ordered some flowers for my grandma just because and every time I think about her receiving them my heart lights up :) I also got my nails and hair done hehe. I feel super accomplished like everything is falling right into place. I’m going out of town tomorrow yay! I love my family and friends and can’t wait to spend some quality time with them.

Oh my word… my dreams for some reason aren’t as happy :( In my dream last night I was trying to take a shower while being harassed by my grandma. I was so angry and irritated. Sometimes I think my dreams are an outlet for negative feelings. I’ve been pretty happy lately so I guess the negative has to come out somehow. I just wish my dreams could be pleasant.

Final Note — Happy milk comes from happy cows

train rides

March 6th, 2009

Allyn Beth Brown Doing a Back Bend!

I’ve slightly missed my train
Tempted to refrain
I try to remain myself
On my way to a new destination
Without hesitation
This time focusing on my health
A bad thought or deed here and there
But petty to compare
The love I urn to share
Scared of the ridicule
From friends and foe
Trying not to be gay
Searching for a way
To say how I feel
Is this for real?
Insecure for so long
Unsure I’m worth loving
My heart broken and heart breaking past
Flashes before my eyes
Removing the disguise
I thought I had to hide
Still in disbelief
A threatening relief

Final Note — Train rides are good for the environment and your brain!

happy valentines day

February 14th, 2009

Allyn Beth Brown in front of an art piece in downtown San Jose

Happy valentines day! It’s my first time having a “valentine” in 2 years! Even when I had a valentine I felt broken hearted… I guess my last valentine wasn’t the giving type. I’m not the typical girl but I still like flowers and chocolates :) Ironically part of me is happy that my new valentine didn’t go that route. It felt more real than ever. Genuine I guess you can say. Hopefully he’ll keep up the good work and luckily he doesn’t know my website address! Haha valentine in your face.

Having it fall on the evening of Friday the 13th was a nice twist. We watched a super scary movie… He made me a nice dinner. It was pretty impressive… Food is the key to my heart :) I think this one might be a keeper. Time will tell.

Oh my valentines day isn’t over yet! I’m going to an event tonight called “Fuck Valentines Day”. There’s going to be some crazy performances… Blood and gore and all! I’m super excited :) I need to keep my heart in check haha. I’m sure this will do the trick. Seeing a bunch of bitter love haters on valentines day is a dream come true ;)

Final Note — ALL girls like flowers and chocolates… ALL.
