Dear Chris Brown,

Shut the fuck up, you girlfriend-beating piece of trash. You deserve to never sell a single record again and have all of your money taken away from you and live on the streets and get the shit beat out of you daily.



Sincerely,

Someone-you-should-hope-to-never-run-into-because-as-Kathie-Griffin-would-say-I'll-cut-a-bitch

Stage 5 Clinger, update

So, since the object of my affection (OOMA) seems to think that we should date other people at the moment, I decided I needed to get on the ball. I'm sure you all remember S5C. Well he's still lingering around in my life so I decided that he could be allowed take me out on that date he's always wanted to. The main reason being that OOMA is completely against me ever dating S5C and has begged me to date 'anyone but him.' Sucks for you, OOMA.

So, S5C wants to go to the movies. Worst date idea EVER if you're really trying to go on a date, but whatever. We decided to go on Sunday.

Sunday morning rolls around and he asks me, over Facebook chat, if I had plans for the day because he was thinking that we could go to lunch and then see the movie. Umm, hang on. Did you just turn our date into a DAY DATE? Not cute.

I tell him I have plans with a friend at noon so he says he'll call at 2 p.m. I texted him at 1 p.m. when I was done with said friend and said I was done, but he still doesn't call until about 2:15. He then asks me if he wants me to head his way or him come my way (about a 30 minute distance, give or take) and luckily for him he ends up saying he's going to come up my way. For our day date.

He says there is a showing at 2:45 and "let's just meet there." Umm, is this a date or a friendly get together? He said he didn't want to bother with trying to figure out where I live. I said "umm, I live right off the interstate" that he'd be passing, "but okay..." and he says he'll see me there.

I immediately got off the phone and called my parents crying. A) I already know who I want to be with so why am I being forced to go on DAY DATES with some boy I don't care to see, B) why is this 'date' turning sucky ALREADY?

So we meet at the movies, after my dad tells me what a piece of crap S5C is and to just stand him up (which I unfortunately can't do because we're in a wedding together and in the same friend crowd). He's completely short and borderline rude with me. Apparently he has better things to do than go to a movie with me, during the day. Afterward we ended the date with a hug and him saying "see you on Facebook."

WHAT A CHARMER.

Fast forward to today, and he actually does see me on Facebook and chats with me - For some reason he's wanting to get together again. Because Sunday was so fun? He then compliments the sundress I wore on Sunday and goes on to tell me that I have great fashion since which is "muy importante" to him. Not that I have a great personality and that's important; not that I'm funny and that's important; not that I am a nice girl and that's important, but my FASHION SENSE is what turns him on apparently.

I have plenty of gay friends, I don't need another. Thanks.

True story

Sometimes I think I should be nicer, then I think...

Success

A good friend and I were chatting about life the other day, sharing our pearls of wisdom, and she brought up something that a friend said to her that was extremely offensive. We'll call this good friend of mine Pearl.

Pearl is a 25-year-old working girl who put herself through college (and finished in four years might I add) and continues to fully support herself financially. She has an infectious personality and is a wonderful friend. In my mind, these are characteristics of true success in life.

I will say that although Pearl is working, she's not 100% happy in her job. It's well paying and she's a good employee, but it's not what she wants to do with her life. She's still in the midst of finding exactly what it is she wants to do.

Pearl and I have this in common, which I think is one reason we relate so well. We're both in jobs that are "fine," but it's not what we want to do forever and it's more of a stagnant place in life rather than one in which you can grow.

So, Pearl's friend - a spoiled brat who, at 24-years-old, still lives off of her parents money, with no current job, and recieves "good luck on your interview" Coach purses from her daddy - made a rude, ignorant comment to Pearl about not being successful. Rude Friend is one of the most selfish, shallow people I've ever known. She's not someone you'd like to call a friend.

While we were discussing the comment, Pearl made a great point: If she was happy in her current job and wanted to be there and stay with the company, then she would be considered successful. But since she is unhappy with where she is at the moment, that is considered her being in an unsuccessful job to some. This doesn't make sense, and it's not fair.

Apparently, Rude Friend consideres herself successful because she's just finished her Masters Degree, yet still doesn't have a job, is not financially independent (and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon) and thinks she is better than anyone that she knows. This is success?

I've been financially independent from my parents for three years, have moved to a different city on my own, have fully supported myself, made decisions for my own life without the approval of anyone else, and dealt with life's blunders ON MY OWN, yet because I have a job that I am unhappy in and not sure of the direction of my career, I'm considered unsuccessful to many people.

Personally, I think there is nothing more successful than a woman who can do anything on her own - including without a man. That includes financially, mentally and emotionally. I really believe that it doesn't matter what your career path is or may be or how unsure you are of where you want life to take you; if you can take care of yourself, really do it on your own, and be a great friend and know how to be selfless for others, that is true success.

Zappos

I'm not a big fan of shopping online. It makes me nervous to purchase something without tangible evidence of how great it really is. When buying things like makeup or books you don't have to worry much about that, but I still don't like paying for something without the instant gratification of actually HAVING it in my hands at that moment. I like being more of a hands-on-shopper.

But, for the past few months I've been looking for a new black purse. Purses have to be perfect you know, especially an everyday one. They have to have all the right compartments for your items, be just the right size for your shoulder and arms and be basic enough for everyday use, but stylish enough at the same time. After months of searching, I just hadn't had any luck so I finally trolled the web.

I had heard about Zappos.com before and browsed it a bit in the past, but never purchased from it. I decided to take my search to Zappos and see what it could do for me. Dun, dun, dun... behold - exactly what I'd been looking for at a great price! The kicker? Free shipping! Not just any ol' free shipping. NEXT DAY FREE SHIPPING! I ordered my little treat yesterday about 2 p.m. and received it this morning at 10 a.m.


There also is an, what seems to be, easy return policy. Luckily no returns for me. I love my new little black bag and can't wait to showcase it this evening!

I highly recommend using Zappos.com for these types of purchases; they sell shoes, purses, sunglasses, clothes and more.

More positives of high heels


The Sun reports that podiatrists are alarmed at the rising number of foot injuries caused by ballet flats and flip flops. They say flat shoes can cause severe foot pain, bunions, shooting pains in the shins, back aches and even arthritis.

"Over the last three to four years we’ve had a significant increase in the number of problems caused be wearing flat shoes such as ballet pumps or flip flops. I’ve seen three or four just in the last week,” Mike O’Neill, spokesman for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, said.

Wear a two-inch heel instead, say Italian researchers. By wearing a higher heel, you'll not only have fewer foot problems but better sex, too.

They say the posture you have while wearing heels helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

I Die.

That's all I can say about this purse.



I was just purse shopping online and this bundle of joy popped up! Of course I can't afford it but a girl can dream.

Yes, I said it
