I didn't want it to come to this...

Well, here it goes... I am about to post something I told myself I wasn't going to post, but its necessary. Guys, you need to read this. I wrote this a few years back, so a couple of my friends will probably recall these words but they are still true...Here it is, with the language toned down bc I said I wouldn't cuss...come on guys.. GET A CLUE!!!

Guys complain that girls never go for the nice guy. Well, ya'll have driven us to it, and by the way, there is no such thing as a "nice guy"...maybe "nicer guys" but even my guy friends will admit that every man is part a-hole, it just depends on what percentage. And with each day this truth becomes more clear. I will say, however, to be fair, that I do believe that every girl is part b-word, in some percentage...but again, yall have driven us to it because we have NO IDEA WHAT YOU WANT! We are darned if we do, darned if we don't.

If we are too fat, or skinny, or our hair and make up aren't kept up...you might not even see us walk by...but if we are too pretty, dressed too nice, or built too perfect....you think we are full of ourselves, out of your reach, or stuck up...EITHER WAY...YOU WON'T ASK US OUT!!

If we take the initiative to ask you out, call you, or make any first moves...you think we are too forward, clingy, or not enough challenge...BUT if we play aloof, are stand-offish, or play hard to get....you think we aren't in to you, are complicated, or are playing mind games...EITHER WAY...YOU WON'T ASK US OUT!!

If you are too good of friends with the guys (me for instance)..you enjoy watching sports, fishing, camping, the occasional beer...you aren't girly enough for most guys..."wow, you are so much fun!... you would make such an awesome girlfriend!... but we are just too good of friends...it would be weird, don't you think?!"...BUT...if you are too girly, like to shop, twirl your hair when you talk, or any other stupid reason my guy friends have complained about girls they date...then you lose also...frustrating, huh?

Not to mention that we have to deal with all the pressures of society saying we have to be just this way or that, and our hair fixed just right, and not show weakness or be too strong willed....its rediculous!!

On top of that we go thru a huge emotional swing, with cramps, and fat pants, and special trips to the store...but we have to pretend it isnt happening..."No I'm great!" "Never felt better!" "Hunny you look tired, can I rub your feet?!" Its BS...but we have to go thru it every month so that oneday we can experience even worse pain that man will never understand.

So, I'm tired of the ifs, ands, buts, etc...I'll call you if I feel like it...I might ask you out if I really like you, but chances are I am gonna expect you to grow a pair and ask me out (bc I am old fashioned)...Oh, and just because you pay for a girls dinner at a nice place does not mean she OWES you anything but a thank you so dont expect anything more than that....and you know what I am talking about!!

If you are a guy reading this don't get mad about this...just seriously think about it. If you have a girlfriend try to really think about the pressures she has around her...If you are single, then start trying to consider what you are really looking for in that other person and not the superficial things. You might be discounting some amazing girls bc of some stupid thing that you decided in high school about blondes or something.

Final thought... what if you waited your whole life for your Prince/Princess Charming to show up on a white horse and they came in on a black one? Are you so set on what your looking for that your blind to something perfect and amazing and different coming in?

Have a GOODloe Day!

Tuesday Mornings..I loathe thee

So, Tuesday mornings...I can't stand them!!!

Monday kinda sucks but atleast you did just have a weekend,
Wednesday is hump day...halfway there,
Thursday, well obviously...you can almost taste Friday...
Friday...(need I say more?!)

Tuesday morning is like the butt crack of the work week. What is there to look forward to?! Your alarm goes off and you think "wow, its only Tuesday"...That really sucks. It's not even Mid-week yet...Dang..."This week is stinking dragging..." Right now you might be smiling because you have thought this...if you haven't then you are probably a morning person, and well, you make me sick, and I might have to blog about you one day. Anyway...Tomorrow is Tuesday and so if I am an angry elf in the morning just know that it is because it is Tuesday morning and not because of hormones or any other woman issues as guys say. Having said this now, all you morning people should know to handle me with caution on Tuesday mornings in particular because well, you are lucky you survive Monday mornings...don't try me on Tuesdays.

Anyway, today was a good day. I felt really good. I didn't do anything super fun or anything but a had a great weekend with my friends so it put me in a good mood for the week. I don't have a whole bunch going on this week, but a few items on the agenda... I do plan to really hit the exercise hard the next few weeks. The cruise is creeping up on me! I don't have the cute little teeny bopper body I used to have but I don't really care to... It's too much work to get it and then to keep it. When I had it I was able to eat whatever, whenever and didn't have to work at it...Oh the glory days!!! But I am happy with my body...just want to be healthy and toned now.

I'm feeling inspired.....
"Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination."-Fitzhugh Dodson
I came across this quote recently...it struck me to my core..in two ways...First, for its main and obvious reason. You can't aimlessly wander thru life if you plan to really make something more of yourself...I need to work on that. I need to set standards and goals for myself and then times to meet those goals...I encourage you to do the same...benchmarks are great for everything in life...papers in school, credit card debt, financials for your boss, etc. The second thing the quote made me think on was who my Captain is. I know that God should be the Captain of my life but, I am constantly trying to take the stern, especially during the storms. But God wants to lead us through the storm and wants us to trust Him through it. I need to sit back in the passenger seat and let God do His thing...that's my challenge for myself this week is to Let Go and Let God.

Have a GOODloe Day!

So here it is...

Well, Here it is...what you have all waited for....my very own blog! Where I can B**** and moan all I want nobody can stop me!!! WOOPEE!!

First I want to say welcome! This being my first experience blogging aside from some very angry rants on Myspace, which I might add did get some good reviews...you should go read them if you haven't! :) Anyway...

I think I want to start each blog off with one rant because, well, I'm single and don't have anybody else to hear my spill right now and you obvioulsy give a little bit of a S*** or you wouldn't be reading right now so here goes...

Why is there this double standard for men and women about things being sociably acceptable for men and not for women? It starts when we are young. Girls have early curfews, can't date, shouldn't call boys, yady yada, while boys can stay out and party, have sex, and all that jazz...HELLOOOO...WHO ARE THE BOYS SLEEPING WITH?! How is that fair that the girl is called a slut and looked down on because she slept with him and he is getting high fives from his dad?! And things don't change when she grows up either. She goes to a party or a bar to have a glass of wine and people say..."she shouldn't be out partying...tsk, tsk, that's not very becomming of a lady." While the guy next to her is taking a beer bong and rallying a streak through the quad. ok, that's all for my rant...

The weather was nice today. Had a nice drizzle this morning. Then some sun...granted its not exactly pleasant right now, but I'm not going for a walk in the park at 10pm either so who cares, right?

I have been doing HipHop Abs this week and it is kicking my ABS!! lol...that's another thing...Nomatter how mad I get I am not gonna cuss on here, so yes I said abs, but no I didn't mean abs....I did the video earlier this week and I seriously thought I was gonna die. Had the phone in my hand and was debating if I should call 911 or my mom first. I have never hurt so bad EVER!!! But last night I did almost twice as long and yes I hurt, but I dont walk like I have anything shoved any holes. :)

But I guess that's all for today!! Have a GOODloe Day!!!
