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

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.

Cocktails & Shopping - not a good mix
So on Saturday my roommate and I decided to go to Tijuana Flats for dinner and drinks. We got dinner and had frozen sangria, delish. I was finished with my meal and drink and she was still only half done with her beverage so I decided a second one was necessary for me. I still sucked that one down before she was done with round one.
We then decided it'd be a brilliant idea to head over to the mall just to 'take a quick look around.' Right.
As we walked to her car I started feeling a pretty strong buzz, probably from inhaling my second drink like my life depended on it.
When we got to the mall we went straight to Forever 21 and I tried on everything in sight and decided that I HAD to have a few items.
Moral of the story: do NOT drink and shop. 3 new dresses and 1 new top later, I'm back to being broke when I had orginally planned on really doing some saving with this paycheck. And no, I cannot return my drunken purchases because I bought them from the one place that does not allow you to return merchandise.

More words of wisdom
If you have a full time job and know you will be at work all day, do not have online purchases sent to your home. Send them to work. UPS is annoying and won't deliver on weekends so you will have to wait 3 business days to finally get a pick-up notice and then not be able to pick it up until the following weekend. All the while, you've been tracking this package online for DAYSSS, anxiously awaiting it's arrival so that you can try on your new treasures. It's heartbreaking.
A bit of advice
When your friend that you haven't seen in a year is in town for the weekend and you go to happy hour and drink as much beer as you possibly can before all-you-can-drink ends, do not then walk up to the bar with said friend and decide it's a great idea to take a very large tequila shot and then give the bartender $10 each.
