:: If i were a man::


So as I sit here, in a fab silk nightgown, drinking a Mimosa out of great crystal glasses, with a fresh manicure and pedicure, hot rollers in my nicely highlighted hair, it dawned on me, its hard being a woman.
In my next life i want to be a man. A fat, sloppy, hairy, sarcastic, filthy rich man with a huge penis.
I don't want to shave. I don't want to go to the gym. I dont want to do anything. But buy some hoe a bunch of Gucci and then lay in bed while she handles the rest. Perhaps with a drink in my hand while she works her ass off to please me. And then afterwards never call. That's my dream.

There is so much pressure required of women. I have to be a great cook. I have to keep my house in top-top condition. I have to work and be financially independant. I have to be pretty. Hair, nails, clothes must all be on point. I have to be smart. Charming. I have to be amazing in bed. And I must above all things, keep a man.
Which requires I stuff myself into stilletos and maid costumes. And come home after a long day, and be ready to put aside all my tiredness, and gripes, and bitchiness (to not appear to be nagging/complaining)
I call bullshit.

What exactly is expected of men? I dont ask him to put on a football uniform and pretend to be Reggie Bush during sex? I don't ask him to cook or clean. Because obviously that's "womens business." I dont ask for money, because then I'd be "a golddigging whore."
So basically, as Kat Williams so eloquently says it, he just presents the same penis night after night. And I'm expected to just be content with that.

In a world where there are way more single and available women who are all too willing to do everything it takes to get married, then there are actual men to marry...the playing field has gotten all kinds of sloppy. And the older us women get, the more value we are loosing. How can i be expected to comepete with a 22 year old still in school, who has NOTHING but time on her hands. To go tanning. Get her hair and nails done weekly. Wake up for the gym early every morning, because there's no boss to report to. Splurge on expensive clothes because she's still living at home. I mean...honestly...its a loosing battle I'm in here.
To the point where, men are just expected to A. Have a job. B. Not cheat and C. Not beat us.

Those are pretty low expectations. And I'm pretty jealous.

That's why I would like to be a man in my next life.
Plus I want to be able to say "suck my dick" one day in a fit of road rage.

Men rule.

Love in the time of Kardashians

I miss the simple days of love. Where you met. You married. You had children. There were still the same problems. Alcoholism. Infidelity. Domestic Abuse. Recession. Death. Taxes. But it was all veiled behind fabulous elbow length gloves, and low-tipped fedoras. No one really knew what was going on in your home. No one dared question you about your husband. Or your children. Those were private intimate things. For better or worse that’s just how it was. Today we have the absolute extreme opposite. And just as damaging as it is to live behind veils and lies, its equally damaging to be too open. Too exposed. Too naked. This is the struggle I have within myself constantly. How to keep pieces of myself private and protected. But also allow myself the comfort and personal freedom that comes with being totally open and honest about my life. Its very easy to “put it all out there.” Between twitter and facebook. Foursquare. .Tagged photos. Comments. Replies. Innuendos. You can pretty much expos...

::Water Board Nominees::

People who need to be waterboarded I. The overly happy co-worker who asks “how you weekend was” with a huge grin first thing Monday morning, as you stumble towards the coffee maker. B*tch is my cup empty? Is it 8am? Fall all the way back. How are these people waking up so happy? Sex? Burbon? Anti-depressants? I need answers white America. II. People who answer the phone “yellow” without being the least bit ironic. Like, they seriously answer the phone that way. Because, that’s how they talk. III. People who pull out in front of you, and then proceed to go 36 mph. Are you kidding me Tokyo Drift? You were all in a hurry to cut me off and now you’re not even GOING the speed limit? IV. Keeping on the subject of asshole drivers, people that pass you by going 186 mph only to have to slam on their brakes at the SAME red light you are at. Again, I ask, really sir? This is not the Indy 500. This is a small highway in a suburbs with red lights. Calm it down. V. People named Mercedes. Porcha. ...

::Little Gifts::

dis⋅so⋅lu⋅tion [dis-uh-loo-shuhn] –noun 1. the act or process of resolving or dissolving into parts or elements. 2. the resulting state. 3. the undoing or breaking of a bond, tie, union, partnership, etc. There has been a lot of dissolution this year. A lot of loose ends being tied up. A lot of things ending,and the resulting states it leaves behind. You tend to reflect a lot when something tragic happens...In this case losing my job right after my 30th birthday. A double whammy. Ive been reflecting about the past year. Which of course, leads to the past few years, which in turn,becomes basically a rundown of your whole life. if you are like i am (which you're probably not, you're probably fucking normal) you overthink everything. You think about it so much that you have it figured out. Down to its very core matter. Until it looses all meaning. Like a scientist. Who can look at a flower and tell you its exact genus and species. Tell you why its red. ...
