AMERICA THE....STINKY!?!?!

I’ve been having a fantastic day. I was on my way home and decided to pick up some things from Wal-Mart. So I’m humming down the aisle. Hopefully no one hears me because I’m in a zone. Then again if someone joins in, it can be a party. I was bending over looking for what scent I wanted in fabric softener when I caught a whiff of THE MUSTIEST people I’ve smelled in my life. They were walking down the aisle past me. I did a double-take and it hurt my nose again. I was so upset because it is just rude to be that way in public…not to mention ruining my happy tune.

I’m hoping that this next part isn’t offensive to some because it involves cultural diversity. The two women that passed me appeared to be Indian. I could be wrong though. Now, I’ve heard that in some cultures people prefer the au natural approach and are not accustomed to wearing deodorant. But come on, at some point is it not okay to adapt. At least try to in public. I had just put a different brand of soap in my cart because I wanted to bathe with a different scent. That didn’t include the soap, body wash, spray, and DEODORANT that I already had at home. I just wanted to be fresh in a different way. I’m not saying that anyone should abandon their customs to convert to things they don’t believe in. I fully understand that things are different in different places. I’m simply saying to bathe, brush your teeth, wear clean underwear, and slap on a lil something under your arms to not offend other people. Now I’m going to try to pick up where I left off earlier with my happy tune.

Moral of the story: If you don’t wash or wear deodorant stay your stankin-self at home!

Bye for now!

WHERE'S THE RED WRAPPER?

Recently there has been a lot of talk about things that have changed from when we were kids that will be missed. Now I know the importance of eating healthy and the importance of monitoring intake of certain products since I'm not a kid anymore. However, sometimes I have to throw caution and the possibility of high blood pressure to the wind to enjoy and reminisce on things I enjoyed back then.
I haven't had one in FOREVER, but I was thinking about a fried bologna sandwich. So I went to the store to get some Oscar Mayer b-o-l-o-g-n-a. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the pack and noticed that it didn’t have the red plastic ring around it. Now that just isn’t right. Aside eating the round-meaty deliciousness, bologna just is NOT right without having to run the ring through your teeth to get the meat off. My feelings were hurt because I felt jipped. It just sad that some things that aren’t broken & need to be left alone are changed. What did that ring ever do to anyone, but add a little appetizer to what was to com? Ohhhhh memories :( I had to share my loss. I'm done now. Good Day!

PLAYING TO WIN OR PLAYING FOR KEEPS?

A lot of thought processes flow from conversations I've with other people, observations or just too much time on my hands allowing my brain to wander. This particular blog comes from a series of conversations that friends and I have had. Im also speaking in a "woman's voice" because those friends and I are women.

Okay, so everyone speaks of the relationship "game," rules, do/donts and so on. Basically, how well you play determines what happens next. My real reason for writing is because I'm wondering if one plays the game just to win or if they're playing for keeps. What is the real motivation?

We've all been in situations that dont seem like they'd go anywhere, yet we draw them out. For instance, lets say you're dating, messing around, hanging out, humping around or whatever you would consider your situation if you aren't in a committed relationship. You continuously hang in a revolving door even though you're well aware that its revolving. Why do that? Is it that you are so in love/like with that person that you can't let go of it? OR do you just not want to lose?

He doesnt want to be with me, but I will not give up until I have him. He has a woman, but I will not leave him alone until he leaves her. We've been doing this back & forth dance because I cant live without him. I can go on and on with scenarios. Each of them leaves you in that same revolving door.

If you're playing for keeps your struggle may be worth it. You actually have genuine motivation for doing what you're doing. You imagine yourself spending the rest of your life (or at least a really long time) with this person. However, you still have to wonder whether or not the trials are worth what you're going through. You can continue your course with the possibility that it'll work or you can move on in search of better.

I think after some time has gone by sometimes winning becomes soooooo important that people can get caught up allowing more time to pass in order to get the trophy. "I will not lose". You may have feelings for that person but lets be honest, is your dignity and self-respect worth what you'd get in the end? Probably not. What happens to trophies after that initial rush of excitement, you put it on a shelf to collect dust. Damn shame! Just stop playing. This is real life & its too short.

OBSERVATION

Okay I already said its been like 4 years since I wrote a blog. But I just looked at the dates & noticed it was around this same time of year. What is it about the summer that makes me want to share information? I thoguht that was kinda weird. Anyway, I just thought I'd point that out.

A NEW START

Okay so I'm going to try this blogging thing again. I won't say I'll write every day or even often, but I'll write. As you can see its been a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I've written on here. I just left the old entries because I think they're pretty funny. My writing is so dramatic.

If you want to know a little something about me, check out my blog. If not, thats fine too...cuz I'm gonna write anyway....I think. I may take another 4 year hiatus after my first few entries. LOL So I'll say enjoy them while they last! :)
