Shout out to my hommie Vicky Weiss who just started her own blog sugadaily check it out!
If your looking for some delicious recipe’s and local places to eat in New York, Virginia Beach and Hong Kong she’s your girl.
We got taste buds that go way back to them buttered round peas in Jamaica Queens.

Can’t forget them dayz when we cut school to just chill and be mellow merry ha ha! buds forever:)

Wishing everyone out in the world a warm and safe holiday! Hope most of you can take the TIME OUT card and spend it with your close family and friends. Make some home made grub, watch some concious shit, or funny stuff. Enjoy the laughter, and the good times this is the real gift! LIFE, it’s not around forever:( we have to continue to understand, appreciate and work hard to dream a better world.

To all my peoples who I’ve had the chance to kick it with, work, and continue to build with you are truly all unique, stay wonderful!!!

Blessings and Love,
Toofly

Tribute to Senator Robert F. Kennedy ( 1968)

“There is discrimination in this world and slavery and slaughter and starvation. Governments repress their people; millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich and wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere. These are differing evils, but they are the common works of man. They reflect the imperfection of human justice, the inadequacy of human compassion, our lack of sensibility towards the suffering of our fellows. But we can perhaps remember — even if only for a time — that those who live with us are our brothers; that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek — as we do — nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.
