What I Do to Relax:
I watch a LOT of TV. It’s bad, I know… I also listen to music and work on mixtapes too. [download some of them NOW on www.Mixcrate.com/JABAone] I also LOVE to cook and bake… I get to zone out and focus in the kitchen. [NOW REMEMEBER… I said ‘I LOVE to cook…’ and LOVING what you do… and BEING GOOD AT IT are 2 different things… Just sayin…] I also try to read a lot too… it makes me feel smart. =/
