My Weekend Haiku

Haiku (俳句, Haiku?) is a mode of Japanese poetry. The traditional haiku consisted of a pattern of 5, 7, 5 on. Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. It should register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. Some people meditate to create inspirational Haiku. Haiku is a very short poetic form. Traditional Japanese haiku consisted of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 units each, which are generally applied as syllables and contained a special word - the kigo - that indicated the season in which the haiku was set.

Every Monday, I'm gonna post a Haiku that sums up my weekend happenings. I figure this is a happy medium between getting to keep a journal, yet still maintain some privacy. Feel free to leave my comments in Haiku form.

FRIDAY
Dropped balls, sore losers
Saucy ribs meet grown convo
Anxious dreamers drift

SATURDAY
Food for thought sheds light
Mr Freeze done in thirty
Three alarms awake

SUNDAY
Brunch feeds, phone rings, him
Smile spreads, Beau begs potty break
Pats and Boys win

Will try to post more later.

Texas Longhorns vs. UCF

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?- 1990's Hit Songs Now Missing In Action

Long story short, I didnt win the contest. I didnt even make the final round. SOMEBODY(IES) decided to change the criteria at the LAST minute because only 3 legit monsters showed up sooooooo, yeah whatever. Iont even wanna talk about it anymore but JUST TRUST that the chick that won was NOT 1 of the 3 monsters that actually adhered to the contest "rules".

But let me move along before I get pissy again...
ANYHOOO~~

I've been updating my playlist (as you can see to the right), just adding songs that I'm fond of. I have a list of others that I cant seem to find though, and these were HOT HOT songs!! Come on... where were you when you first heard the following songs for the first time????

1. I'm So Alone (I Miss You)- Men At Large ((You never miss a good friend 'til they're gone...)) 2. Lose Control- Silk ((Last night, we had an argument. You told me you loved me...)) 3. Comforter- Shai ((I will comfort comfort comfort you. I will, I will comfort yoouuu....))
4. I Miss You- Aaron Hall ((I'm talkin to you baaybaaaay... I miss you...)) 5. All The Things Your Man Won't Do- Joe ((I wont stop until I hear your mama scream!)) 6. Housekeeper- ????? ((In the morning, I will get your breakfast baby. Get you ready for work. Let me be your housekeeper girl...)) 7. Poor Georgie- MC Lyte ((George was sweet, so nice and so neat. With any other guy he didnt have to compete...)) 8. Jealous Girl- ABC ((I know you feel bad about me and my girl...)) 9. Brainstorming- MC Brains & Boyz II Men ((Brainstorming *AAAHHH** Dont want to get your feelings hurt. Say you wanna be loved by me. Well my name is MC B. ***Ohh ohhohhh***))
10. Please Dont Go- Boyz II Men ((I'll be there, I'll be right there...)) 11. Every Little Thing I Do- Soul For Real ((The way I feel baby is driving me crazy...))

And for good measure, I have to ask about The Boys hits "Lucky Charm", "A Little Romance" and whatever else they put out. Actually, I think I'ma goto Best Buy and try to find those cd's on the $5.99 rack. THE BOYS had some dope songs! Even that last album "The Saga Continues" was jammin! lol ...... But seriously, I am about to seek out these albums. It is NOT a game.

Let me know which hits I missed. I'm tired and Beau wont goto sleep 'til I do so.... HOLLA!

Playing Dress-up for the Almighty Come-up!

For those that dont really know me, this may come as a shock BUT...

I'm not all that into Halloween. *gasp!* No really, I'm not. I think it lost its shine once I got too old to effectively trick-or-treat. I mean, it was much easier when I was about 8-12 but by the time I hit puberty the thrill was gone. Plus, I only like certain kinds of candy so all those filler-treats (generic butterscotch, jujubees, sweet tarts, etc...) were just space-takers in my jackolantern and ended up getting tossed out or pawned off on a greedy, desperate little cousin during a babysitter's round of "The Quiet Game". And then when I was in college at CAU, probably the Halloween of 1999, some thug committed a random drive-by egging which busted me SMACK in my mouth, leaving me with a busted bloody lip sooo yeah... I think that was the last time I even uttered TRICK OR TREAT. :-( But fast forward....

My property is having this super Monster Mash costume party tonite and Im actually considering entering! Surprised? Well you wont be once I reveal the 1st place prize.

A 32" Plasma TV. YES! AND a 3-month gym membership (dont need it b/c I'm already a member there) AND a $100 Gift Certificate to a pretty nice restaurant. KEWL right?!?

The images I posted above are a hint at my costume. This year, I'm gonna be.. ***DRUMROLL PLEASE*** THE SOCK MONSTER! You know, the urban-mythic creature that steals your socks while you're doing laundry!?!?! TOnite I will be scavangering (spellcheck?!?) for random socks from relatives homes. I have about an hour to collect as many ugly, mismatched socks as I can. And BEAU will be in tow... he's going as a Blue Bell Ice Cream cow. *MOOOOO*

I'll take pictures. Wish me a little luck! I'll be back later.

HAPPY STUPID COSTUME, FREE CANDY DAY!

You're Perfect But He Aint Ready

My GF sent me a message last month expressing her hurt and heartbreak over a guy she'd been seeing. Apparently, they'd been "dating" off and on for a period of 5 + years and recently had started seeing more of each other when BOOM! He starts hitting her with this indecisiveness that many men come with when faced with the decision of monogamy. Here is my response to her email...

No matter HOW perfect you are or how much you do to SHOW a man that you want him, UNLESS he is READY TO SETTLE DOWN, it is all for naught. I often discuss this with my male friends and 100% of them have agreed and admitted to dating at least one woman who was perfect in every desirable aspect... good credit, attractive, good career, educated, sweet, respectable, loyal, loving, good sex, etc... you name it, she's got it. BUT for them, its like, they think they have time. And until they finally decide that they want to be monogamous and have a long-term relationship, they keep on doing them. Women are just the opposite. Women find a good catch and settle down. MEN decide to settle down, then pick from whatever is most readily available... perfect or not.

I'm sorry that you're feeling so sad about this but during my first impression of him, he didnt strike me as being "good enough" for you... even on the surface. And the fact that its taken him 5+ years to "try and date you" is more evidence that he aint the MAN you need in your life. Trust me chica, when a MAN wants something/someone, there is no TRYING involved. He just does it. Impulsively and all. Sucks but its true. He's lame girl. Be glad that you CAN do better because you, my dear, are WORTH so much more than that.

I will post another installment about this subject later on but please leave comments if you came by to read.

CIAO!

To Blog or Not to Blog...

So I've been in mental limbo over this very issue...

Should I cease and desist from blogging??? Or should I merely limit said blogging to public subject matter? Am I too old for this whole activity altogether?

IS BLOGGING REALLY WORTH IT?!?!?

Reason being, in the last year, I've succeeded in angering two (count them, 1...2....) former acquaintances via commentary on my blog. Now mind you, the blogs were completely anonymous and vague in their verbage, but these individuals decoded the content and for whatever reason, were angry that they'd been discussed.

**insert blank stare here**

Uhhh... HELLO goofball! No one knows its about YOU! This is 150% truth I'm speaking here... no lies no fabrications! But later I learned that in both instances, those people were "busted" by their significant others and thought my "public blog" might have something to do with it.

**insert screw face here**

Uhhh... all I did was type an editorial. YOU"RE THE ONE who was living lies and messing people over! Tighten up ya pimp game, peoples!

So anyway, yeah. For the sake of avoiding situations like those, I've somewhat conceeded to just post blogs about relevant PUBLIC subject matter. Happy now, snitches??? **eeggghhhh**

So I have stalkers, eh?

Question of the day:

If you cared about someone and even went the distance of showing that person that they were special to you, what difference would it make if your association/affection for that person went public?

My answer? It becomes a problem when what you're doing is being done DECEPTIVELY and you've not been honest with one or more parties that you're also involved with (romantically).

Several happenings in the last 6 months have revealed and confirmed that yes, I am being WATCHED. Wow. I'm flattered. Really. Honestly though, it poses no real problem because I know how to conceal what cannot be revealed. I live a very straight-forward life. Fast-paced and exciting? Yes. Scandalous and hypocritical? No.

But for those around me that do have a LOT to hide, its gotten a bit hairy and quite honestly, pathetic. I'm too grown for this.

Grow up peoples.
