A Slice of reality pie

So .. today over a nice delicious Portuguese BBQ meal me and a coworker had a discussion about women who are scandalous. Some of us often refer to them as "ain't shit" or "rachet" or just plain "hoes". You know, women who make eye contact with a man and then blow him in the bathroom of the local VFW (yup women do this). So I said to this person, a wonderful woman, who is awesome. She's like my auntie. She's like 38 to my 25 and we just talk and she's great. But anyway, I said to her you know its women like this who make it so easy for guys to be disrespectful to women. It's women like this that are the reason that men can so easily not…

If not now, then when?

Lifestyle

The other day I sent WK an email that simply said ' Pick a number between 1 - 50'. I didn't tell her what it was for and when she would know the result. She picked 32. (I love that I have a friend who doesn't question when I ask her something completly random and maybe nonsensical before answering). After she answered she asked me what this was for.. It was because I came across this site doing the blog stroll one day http://www.marcandangel.com/2009/07/13/50-questions-that-will-free-your-mind/ and I really wanted to write for one but couldn't just pick one .. and I pick my own random number and don't like it .. well I'll just switch it lol .. So #32 - If not now, then when? OMG she could NOT have…

Yup, I’m using you for dinner

Lifestyle

I began to follow @CerealDaters one day after a #FF (Follow Friday for non-twitterers) suggestion from someone [I think I'm the last person who actually clicks on those] but it was a great click. I love this blog. So real .. and being a newly single gal (is 5 months still new? ) its great stuff. This one in particular was something that summed me up. I tend to not go out with someone if I can automatically tell I'm not interested and I can tell very easily too .. But then I said, you know what, just go. Get some free dinner. Then I came across this post "Six reasons Why Dating for Dinner is OK" on Cereal Daters ... FREAKING AWESOME!! I love when my thoughts are brought to…

Why Wednesday? Gross Fat Chick

Lifestyle, Mis-Adventures

#thisbitch. Why oh why oh why!! Reasons like this and MTV's Jersey Shore are why I'm sometimes ashamed to be from New Jersey. Who wants to weight 1000 lbs? Why is your LIFE goal to weight half a ton?? And why oh why oh why are people giving her shine? Why is she on GMA and radio stations and being offered a reality show?? If people stopped fueling the fires these idiotic people would stop these shenanigans. How does this woman, Donna Simpson, already hold the Guinness World Record for being the World's Fattest Mother. How is it OK that it took 30 medics to deliver her daughter via C-section?? She can't move more than 20feet before needing a break, but she wants to be fatter?? Can I smack this…

Here we go: I was getting ready for work today and I had something in my head.. here is how it came out... All right, I'm ready my juices are flowing creatively, I can entice you delight you all around please take you on a ride like Coolio we'll be on fantastic voyage hearts seeing places our minds never imagined cruising through mystical mirages making magical memories You and I can be oh…

Monday Madness!!

Lifestyle

Fret not my lovers!!! I have not quit this gig yet! My postings always slack when I enter the busy season at my full-time job. Much apologies! It also doesn't help that I've been feeling completely and utterly dull lately. I'm in a life rut! But things go on.. I have a confession. Please don't judge. Lately I've been clocking waaayy too many hours of the Disney channel for someone with no kids. But Phineas & Ferb and Wizards of Waverly Place always draw me in! And when nothing else is on, they reallly hit the spot. And then I was in NYC yesterday and crossed Waverly Place! I almost went looking for the Subway Sub Shop. Its true I'm a real geek at heart, and even though I think…

My (NON) New Year’s Resolutions

Lifestyle

New Year, New ME? Isn't that what you've heard all week (and the last 3 weeks of 20009?) or the fact that people were leaving the past in the last decade? If you're like me you've made the same resolution ten year in a row: save money, do x, and don't do Y. And why? So we can later count our failures as we transition to the next year, and vow to do the same things over and over again? But that's not to knock the significance of the idea of a New Year Resolution, because to some it really is a chance to start with a clean slate. Sometimes someething may happen on New Years Eve's Eve and you realize that you want to leave that in the past.…

Spreading Sunshine on Mischief Night?

Lifestyle

Happy Pre-Halloween!! Don't throw eggs on anyone, or tee pee any houses! OK! I love to spread sunshine. It may not seem important but I enjoy sharing my little jewels with others, as silly as they may be. So it really bothers me when people have outdated blogrolls. Its one thing if the blogger just hasn't updated in months, totally another when the blog just doesn't exist anymore. I'm just saying, its good business to keep it updated. On with the show!! 1. Women want a lot, or that's so it seems. And I, as a woman, find that I want very little. But this guy, no idea who he is, breaks it down to how to get what you want, with humor - not in those cheesy Cosmo ways…

Cleo Rants: Gender Roles too enforced?

Lifestyle

I did a poll of friends to discuss whether Irish Spring was a male soap or a unisex soap. It started off as a friendly debate between someone, but I needed to validate one of our points. After all, someone has to be right. Overall, most people only remembered the original scent of Irish Spring. You know, the big green or blue bar that will leave your wash rag tinted iwth that color. Those I will stand by the point made by the opposition in that those may be masculine, but others like aloe and micro clean are unisex. What man is ready for lemon scent? I think that Colgate (the distributor of Irish Spring) markets more for me because if they make the soap seem too girly, men won't…

Marriage upheld to 8 yr. old girl . . .

Lifestyle

This is very disturbing. A Saudi man arranged for his 8-year-old daughter to marry a 47-year-old man to settle his debts. I always thought fathers were overprotective of their daughters? The girl's mother petitioned to have the marriage annulled but the judge, Sheikh Habib Abdallah al-Habib, dismissed it due to her not being the legal guardian of the girl! Are you seriously kidding me??? Does it really matter who is the custodial parent? This is endangerment of a child. The father should be faulted for what he did. I know I'm looking at this from an American's point of view, but this is just wrong no matter what country. This is ok'ing pedophilia. The judge asked the man for a pledge not to consummate the marriage until the girl reaches…

Case of the Missing Peen!!

Lifestyle

"I think penises are little Napoleons that’ll try to take over the world.”- My friend the Asian This was the perfect time to use that quote! Can you imagine waking up to find your penis gone!! For the ladies, you're breasts?? Philip Seaton, 61 went in for a circumcision as part of a medical procedure in Louisville, KY and came out with his whole peen gone. That's got to be worse than the hospital in Trenton, NJ that I went to once! Remind me never to get hurt in Louisville! Anywho, he and his wife are now suing the doctors for obvious reasons, among those, "loss of enjoyment in life." I whole heartedly agree that enjoyment is gone, which is why I'd never want to hurt my mammories! This doctor…
