So there's been a recent outbreak of "engaged" women I know. A crisis. A black plague upon our community. On a daily basis, I see these women, who I wouldnt necessarily say are anything "worth talking about", prancing around with these big ass engagement rings and fab men. With jobs. And cars. And no nasty addiction to : sex with other women, weed, video games, gambling or any other high school like vice.
So naturally, I felt the need to really sit down and address the real issues here.
What is setting these women apart from me. What is making them "wife" material. What is going on in America. This is what I've come up with:

A. Crafts not Ass
One of the engaged women, recently passed around Reeses peanut butter cups, with tiny Christmas trees glued to the top as gifts for people in the office.
Who does that??!!! I have never found myself sitting at home, thinking "hey...you know what...i should hot glue some mini christmas trees to chocolate." Shit, I dont even own a hot glue gun.
The other girl is designing her own center pieces. The other, made home-made Christmas cards.
The more I paid attention, the more it became clear. Women who craft get married. Whatever part of the brain, that makes you actually stay in the house, to cut and glue shit, for people that will no doubt just throw it out, is severely underdeveloped in mine. If it exists at all.
So. I'm going to scrapbook. Its been decided. I bet everyman in the world has a hard on right now.

B. Turtles not Leopards
The other stark contrast between myself and these women, were the things they wear. Turtlenecks, "sensible" flats, tweed pencil skirts. Ironed white blouses.
Never once did I see any animal print. Nothing with chains attached. Nothing made of leather, feathers or any kind of fur. Nothing too bright. Nothing too dark. Everything very earthy and calm. Relaxing. Like, you just want to curl up next to them and thier cable knit sweater and watch Lifetime movies.
My outfits, usually envoke a sensation of wanting to get on stage and sing bad 80's songs at kareoke.

So its been decided. J. Crew, Ann Taylor, and a subscription to Redbook and not Nylon. I'm going to be a proper magazine cut out.


So crafting. Dressing like a librarian.
Oh and....being a good cook. A good maid. A porn star in bed. Liking sports. Knowing when to shut up. Knowing when to speak up. Being smart. Sexy. Look like a model. Never get too drunk. Don't curse. Always smile. Be witty. Be humble. Be ambitious. Be strong. Be sensitive. Be perfect.

So. I think I can do all that. lol Fuck. who am I kidding. haha.

::Fathers, Harems and Brown Eyes::

Ahh Fathers Day. A day to honor the wonderful men in our lives. The ones who have passed on their great legacies unto us. Given us their last names. Provided us with a roof over our head and food on the table. The ones who have sent us to therapy for our "daddy" issues. sidenote: Hello unavailable, emotionally distant, workaholic men. Please thank my Dad for making me fall for you. lol My dad was very typical. Cold. Distant. Left all the "child raising" shit to my mother. So I find it strange that he's actually had a bigger influence on who I am than she has. I find myself physically and mentally more and more like him every day that I get older. I guess when you spend your whole life trying to chase after someone's love, you get to know then on a unique level. I remember me going through his bookshelf. Reading every single book he had. Going through and stealing all his old records. Reading his old newspaper articles from the Korean War. Looking through his...

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...
