Must Speak!

I've been trying to avoid the subject of football, but I can't anymore! (American Football that is!) This season has been insane so far. So many wow games early on (Oakland v Denver :shock: )

Now to top it off, college football is following suit. So many upsets last night! The top 25 got clobbered!

Ok I'm done. Back to our regularly scheduled program!

We're Not in Kansas Anymore...

So if someone encourages me to be more bold and brave.. yet they admit that they are an "incorrigible coward".. should I heed their advice? Or should I ask them to lead by example first?

To the Left.. To the Right..

Dear fellow drivers,

The far left lane on the highway is for fast people or those trying to overpass. ONLY! Not for everyone to cram into.

Sincerely,
Homicidal

Life Goes On..

It is inevitable that we will all, at some point or another, lose someone... regardless of how strong that relationship is/was.

Some people enter our life for 2 weeks. Yet during those 2 weeks, you feel like you've gotten to know everything about them and they take over a big portion of your day and thoughts. Other times, you know someone for 7 years.. it seems like an eternity. They'll never leave you. Not after all you've been through. Not them!! Right?


One day though, they just walk out of your life. It doesn't seem to make any sense. You are suddenly left feeling very unstable. Very confused. No reason seems to make sense. So you sit there, you wonder.. you get upset, annoyed, frustrated at that void they've left behind. At the end, you accept it and think 'it's their loss' and move on!

I've had my share of losses. Some friends whom I thought would stick around forever are long gone. But I'm ok with it. In the end, I am nothing more than the sum of all my experiences. Whatever I've faced in my life, good and bad, have made me into the person I am today.

I am thankful for all those who have walked out of my life.. and even more thankful for those who have chosen to walk in. Such is the cycle of life. Whether we like it or not, we move on because life moves on!

The Signs..

At one point or another, we've all been shocked by others. We've felt betrayed or that this person has suddenly changed. We go through the whole "They fooled me! I didn't think they were like this!!"

Looking back, I don't think that's 100% true. No one really completely fools us. The majority of the time, the signs are all there. We see them, yet we don't pay much attention to them. We think that it's normal.

It's not until the 'feces hits the rotary atmospheric ventilation facilitator' ($#it hits the fan) do we look back and suddenly 'see clearly'. As they say, hind sight is 20/20. So don't wait until it's too late. Open your eyes and look out for yourselves.

Banat El Maghrib

I had an interesting conversation recently with a guy who'd gone to El Maghrib (Morocco) about 10 years ago. He said that the girls there are WOW, something else. He wasn't talking about the physical aspect of it. He was talking about something completely different.

"I don't know how to describe it!" he said. They just make a guy feel like she belongs to him. That she's his. That there's no other person in the world for them except him."

I was intrigued. I asked him to give me examples. He couldn't. "I don't know. The way they look at you. The way they say the right thing at the right time. Their use of words is perfect! I don't know."

The odd thing is, this isn't the first time I've heard someone say this. And every person who has said that, couldn't give me examples of what they were talking about! I would love if someone out there knows and could help shed a light on this issue!

Again, I'm not talking about the physical aspect!

Nobody

Our good ol' pal Dean says, "You're nobody till somebody loves you.."

What do you think about that?

Desperately Needing A...

Vacation..

Male Assistance Needed

Ok.. so I need a male to explain this to me.

When a guy sends a message to a female, and in that message refers to her as 'fella'.... is that his way of telling her that he thinks of her as one of the guys/friends?

10 Things I Hate About You

Though this is an old poem from an old movie (1999), I still love the words:

I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you’re always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around,
and the fact that you didn’t call.

But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you,
not even close…
not even a little bit…
not even at all.
