SBF seeking SBM

Is there a stigma associated with single women over the age of thirty? I work with two women over thirty and single. Before I started working here I never really paid attention to single women. If so, I bought whatever story they were selling about, how they were happy, and focusing on a career yadda, yadda, yadda. Mostly because I didn’t care, partly because I used to accept everything people said at face value, kind of a benefit of a doubt stance. But here, one of the single women is very…transparent. She’s close to if not yet 40, physically attractive, successful, attractive and frankly…a train wreck. I have a nick name for most of the people that I work with. Her nick name is ‘tourette’. Here is a sample conversation. T: “what are you drinking?” AA: “Protein shake” T: “Why? Are you trying to say that I’m fat? (note: she’s not in my opinion at all fat shes probably a size 8) What are you anorexic?” …I used to take offence, but now I see her differently. The other is 31 has a banging BB (before baby) body I mean BANGIN’, very smart, loves the Lord so much she visits him 3 days a week at church. She still lives at home and once during a lunch at a local restaurant laughed out loud at the victims of the California mudslides and said “That’s what they get…they should have moved”. Why is it so hard for people to find a compatible mate for those who realize that is what they want out of life? I really believe that there is someone out there for everybody How do they find each other? Personally I think the start is having knowledge of self and speaking the truth. I think people should stop saying they don’t want to be married…99% of the time, I think it’s a lie. We designed to be with another person...at least thats what the good book says...

thanks to odub

giving me my hip hop nerd fix for the day...check it out. One time for Madlib...

...like a immigrant

so may hours of work- so few hours of rest/sleep...cant see st8. Shopping for a ring- photographers- invites...all starting to blur together. What will I wear? I was a huge fan of the Kennedy/ Bessette wedding.


I thought it was so grown up for the son of the "Camelot" era to wear a suit. A suit. In a 100 year old church with no power. So thats probaly the route I am going to take, not with the old church...the suit thing. I wish I knew a good tailor...

this will probaly bee the back drop of my pictures...


eventho I have a family member that says you have to be married in the 'house of the Lord'. The Lord dosen't live outside? Needless to say, that person is not invited.

Juxtapose

Since everyone else is going retro…I’m in.
I’ve been from green machines to a ’73 Granada. From Parlament to The Steve Miller band and back again. From silk t-shirts to custom made shirts, and settled on thrift store T’s and Brooks Brothers shirts. I’ve been from getting played to, well getting played. From washing dishes to managing a $4M portfolio. From Buster Browns to spending paycheck on the new Carolina Blue J’s to wearing what’s appropriate. From a Sottdale recreation center to Scottsdale tee times. From Too Shorts’ Born to Mack to Perfuse 73’s Up rock Narratives. From Light Bright art to Cézanne. From ashy to classy. From being chosen to choosing. From searching to knowing. Follow me.

Act 1. I have a theory. I call it the probability of issues. I believe that our issues and how you react to events in your life effect every aspect our lives form very early into life and continue our entire life. Kind of like the mathematical butterfly effect as it applies to people. The funny part is that some people never acknowledge or never truly grasp the role that they play in this. Notice it in your conversations today, and report back. Double-spaced.

and I have a lot of post floating around so I’m going to do kind of a mash-up...
First I was compiling a list of a few older women that I find attractive…here is the short list that I came up with…

first its no secret that the most powerful, woman in the United States of America with a gap tooth smile should be stepping out of her suit in my bedroom…

Beverly Johnson is my height, plays golf better than me and looks like she will take off her hair, and…well you get the idea…

Ok, fhuk it I’m a hater, hes too corny for her…she should be having my babies…

Long time favorite…the former Ms. Richardson…

Thespian dejour…Ms. Newton ladies and gentlemen…

Reality show treats…

Don’t ack…you know she is bangin…my I know but I don’t care pick…Ms. Burke…

My ‘I feel guilty because shes so young, but I don’t care pick…’ Ms. Good…how appropriate…

I’ve been so tired lately, but still in good spirits…I just slap on my cape, get in to my B-Boy stance…nobody can touch me… cause I know soon I will be living the glamorous life like , but hes in jail…not like him. Maybe more like this guy… na…I don’t look good in chiffon. Anyway you get the idea. Anyway…I’m get off of this computer …I’ll do a real post sometime tomorrow..

Until then...

Hold on...one quick note...why does everyone try to get over on eachother??? Is the world that hard and cut throat?

All dope fiends move to Canada

Canadian health officials are hoping that heroin addicts, freed from their daily pursuit of the next fix by a prescription-heroin plan, will find time to make positive changes in their lives.

The Toronto Globe and Mail reported Jan. 31 that researcher will begin gathering applications for the program from addicts during the next few weeks. The experiment already is the talk of the streets in communities like Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

"They should have done this a long time ago," said Debbie Woelke, a heroin user living in a single-room occupancy hotel in the city's poorest neighborhood. "Sometimes you need something just to relax and get your mind together, instead of always being in a state of panic. That's what's killing everyone down here. They have to do things they wouldn't normally do."

The prescription heroin trial will take place in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. Researchers are looking to recruit 428 hard-core addicts, half of whom will receive daily doses of heroin for a year, and half of whom will get methadone.

"What if you could say to an addict, 'For the next little while, you're not going to have to get your drugs from Al Capone. You can get your drugs from Marcus Welby,' " said Dr. Martin Schechter, lead researcher on the project. "You don't have to worry about this afternoon and this evening. And therefore, you don't have to go and break in to cars or be a prostitute. You could actually come and talk to a counselor or ... get some skills training."

The experiment is unique in North America, although similar trials have been tried with some success in Europe. However, critics range from those concerned about lack of abstinence as a goal to those who say it is unfair to give addicts free heroin for a year and then cut them off. Overdoses also are a major ethical worry.

A spokesperson for U.S. drug czar John Walters called the trial an "inhumane medical experiment.

"What you're doing is making it easier to be a heroin addict," said policy analyst David Murray. "These people won't get that much better in the long run. They will still be heroin addicts."

But Vancouver Mayor Larry Campbell, a former coroner and narcotics officer, said current treatments don't work for hard-core addicts. "The critical thing is to accept this as a medical condition," he said. "The side effects of this medical condition is that it forces you to ... do things that you would never do, be it work as a sex-trade worker, be a B and E [break-and-enter] artist or a purse snatcher. So if I can mitigate that by putting you on heroin, imagine the changes you could
have."

State of the union address-

Since I have been pulling 16 hour days seven days a week, things have changed. I look at life a little different. Last night I heard excerpts of the (p)residents state of the union address. To be totally candid I agreed with a lot of what I heard, I need to listen to the full address sometime today or read the transcript if I get a chance. I was immediately struck by what I call the rat poison syndrome. It’s a syndrome that I feel a lot of (l)eaders fall into. Rat poison is 90% corn (good for you) 10% arsenic…that 10% will kill you. The older I get the more conservative I get, but the (p)resident has an anti-Christ quality that I find disturbing. Everyday the world seems to turn into a Ray Bradbury novel, with Orwellian overtones. The world seems to be drinking the Kool-Aid of their choice. I’m not really going to get into this…

I do want to make an announcement. (ahem) Look people, let me help you from looking bad while eating out. If you don’t want to tip your server…go to Burger Kill, or McGenocide. If you go to a ½ way decent restaurant where the average entrée price is $30 follow the following rules.

1. Do not run the server ragged and then tip 10%. That is so tacky. Servers get paid $2 an hour and work off of tips, they have to pay a tip out to the bar, and back waiters, and that percentage is taken from their net sales. If you have a gift certificate don’t tip off of the reduced amount, again the server is paying on net sales. The bare minimum tip is 15% if you received poor service.

2. Don’t order a $40 dollar steak and ask for A1 sauce. Only do that at the Waffle House at 3am.

3. Don’t seat your self. You can do that at home. I’ve seen a couple asked to sit in a booth on a busy night. The more the check is, the more a server makes. 2 people sitting in a six person booth all night long is akin to someone messing with your paycheck.

4. If it’s busy don’t camp out. Be considerate.

5. Tarter sauce doesn’t go on everything.

6. Be nice to your server, they have access to your food before you do.

7. If you order a lobster don’t use the bib.

8. Don’t take small children. Again…cook or take them to Burger Kill, they have a playground.

Please and thank you work well. Eating out is not an opportunity to redirect personal issues on a complete stranger.
