What's in Your Closet

This weekend I  purged. No, this does not mean that I drank too much and spent the weekend hanging over the toilet bowl. I went through my closet and got rid of all the stuff I have not worn in the past year and donated it to goodwill. It always amazes me at some of the stupid purchases I have made. It’s like, do you know yourself or not! I found this lovely orange handkerchief shirt..yes I own a piece that isn’t black, which I have since been informed that black is not a colour? UH?! What was I thinking? Did I relapse back to the age of 18? OH right, it was to go with my orange shoes!! Damn I need to get that shirt back what will I wear with those shoes???

Then there is the naughty nurse’s outfit that I bought one Halloween. It is still in my closet in the hopes that one day I get to play naughty nurse to a feisty doctor. When he says open up and say ‘AH’ I just need to bend over and he will be able to see my tonsils just fine. Hmm I think I just went from Naughty Nurse to Nasty Nurse….. Probably time to get rid of the outfit.

Finally we have the Little Black Dress ala Rock Goddess style; it laces up the front and just barely covers the crack of my ass. Was I drunk when I bought this?  I’m pretty sure I wasn’t …I think I learned my lesson the last time I went shopping drunk and came home with a pair of stripper shoes.

                               

Or have I finally embraced my entry into cougardom? Maybe I should look for those stripper shoes to wear with my Rock Goddess dress and go cub hunting! Meow!!!

Have you looked in your closet lately? Have a look and tell us what you find.

Cheers!

Ps. Queen B maybe you should write up those spring fashion tips since I am in obvious need of them.

Stop the excuses Tiger....

I don’t really care for celebrity. I do read gossip blogs but it comes more from being bored and for the simple fact that I feel the need to keep up to date with the “going’s on” in our twisted celebrity obsessed world. Plus I am truly amused by it and actually find myself wondering are these people for real? Do they believe the sh*t they spew or is it for the benefit of the media and/or fans? Either way I find it quite entertaining.

I recently read that Tiger Woods is going to wear a Buddhist bracelet that is supposed to provide “strength and protection”. Really a bracelet is going to do all that? Honestly if it was so easy I think we would all be subscribing to that program. Don’t get me wrong, I am not mocking the Buddhist faith, I just find it quite sad that people will find any excuse to justify their actions. In Tiger’s case he blames the fact he quit meditating, he quit being a Buddhist, and life turned upside down for him. I know a lot of people who have lost faith in “God”, “Buddha”, “Allah” whoever but they didn’t become whores.

I do believe that faith helps, my philosophy is that you should use what works for you as long as it’s not to the detriment of others. I just hate that people don’t take responsibility for their actions. It’s easy to blame your faith, your parents, your bullying etc….but you know what everyone has a brain, you should know right from wrong and if you cared for yourself and others you would be a decent, respectful human being. You know what I think Tiger? I think you still would have been a whore even if you kept your faith. You thought you were above things, you had no respect for your wife or kids or yourself and you were a grade A a*shole.

Let’s call a spade a spade, because when you truly know yourself it doesn’t matter what you’re presented with you will do the right thing.

Jessie James and Sandra Bullock is there hope...

The recent Jessie James and Sandra Bullock scandal has shaken the Single Gals camp. I hate celebrity gossip, I have no interest in who’s dating who, and who has a bump or doesn’t have a bump. The one celebrity relationship that I did have interest in was Sandra and Jessie. Sandra seems sweet and down to earth, she gushed about Jessie in interviews it was obvious that she was in love. Of all the celebrity couples out there they seemed the most real and likely to last forever, they were very low profile and happy together. It was a nice fusion of bad boy meets cute funny girl next door however it now seems Jessie is a true bad boy after all.

I received an e-mail from Single Chick saying ‘This Jesse James and Sandra thing is really bothering me...I feel so sad. Are there no good men left in this world?” Single Chick I feel your pain, and I know how much you liked them as a couple because Jessie was the kind of guy we both hoped to get one day. Now that dream seems to have been shattered but we need to remember that they live in the land of Celebrity. As normal as their lives may seem they are not, how can you have a ‘Normal’ (whatever that means) life when you are constantly watched. I feel for Sandra, as a women who has had her heart broken I can only imagine what she is going through and she has to do it publicly, that is truly awful! However we cannot let this get us down, or lose faith in finding a good man. They are out there, I believe that, just look at some of the amazing men that our friends have found. There is André, who supports ‘V” in everything the she does, Andy who is an amazing dad and loves his family to no end and Neil who is hard working, and who’s dream is to be able to work from home to play with his kids. The list goes on, our friends have managed to find good men, so they are out there!! Don’t give up hope my friend I haven’t…….Yet.

This scandal does prompt me to ask,Why do seemingly happy people in good relationships, mess them up with affairs? Are they seeking excitement? Is it really just about sex? Can’t you have thrilling sex with someone you love? Why do people that want numerous lovers bother marrying? Why are all these married people hooking up, when I a Single Gal cannot get a date?????

Strangers in Paradise…

Virtual sex, what is this world coming to? What happened to vibrators ladies? Recently the Fifth estate ran a story on a woman who left her husband and kids to run off to England to meet her virtual lover. There is a web site called “Second Life” with over 2.5 millions users. On this site you can live the ultimate fantasy life. Anything is possible, you can be a millionaire, a Rock Star, own a jet, and have random virtual sex if you so desire, all from the comfort of your computer chair.

It seems that 2.5 million people would rather live in this virtual world than in reality. Caroline a mother of four is one of them. She is convinced that she has met her virtual soul mate and is willing to leave her family to meet Elliott her virtual partner. Poor Caroline is all wrapped up in Elliot’s virtual persona; she has forgotten that Elliott is just like her; bored with his life. He is obviously lacking social skills or why else would he be looking for love in a virtual world. I bet in his Second Life world he looks like Brad Pitt rather than the Pee Wee Herman he is in reality. Caroline has forgotten the key word here….FANTASY!

I fear for our future generations, what life will be like for them. Are all social interactions going to be virtual? Will those of us that live in the real world have to go into hiding because we will be known as the freaks of society? Am I old school since I believe that the man of my dreams exists in the real world? Maybe it is me that is living in the fantasy world?

Life After The Ball...

A week has lapsed since ‘The Ball’ and ‘Prince Charming’ has not called. I honestly thought he was going to, I just felt it in my gut. However I always wonder how you tell a gut instinct from wishful thinking. Did my wanting for him to call create that gut feeling?

At ‘The Ball’ I was all girl, from my sparkly necklace to the diamonds in my shoes. I was not the beer chugging ‘Rock Goddess’ from the Steal Panther concert. So why wouldn’t ‘Prince Charming’ call? I am realist, and I usually do not make up excuses for why something didn’t happen but to ease my disappointment I came up with the following reasons why:

1) He is a Secret Service agent and he got called away on a secret mission to protect the president.

2) He got abducted by Aliens and they deleted his long term memory

3) He got intimidated by my hotness (hmm this is my favorite theory) Yup this is why, I feel it in my gut!

So what does ‘Modern Day Cinderella’ do now? She puts the dress in the cleaners, stores the shoes on the top of her closet so they can collect dust and does killer kick boxing session with her personal trainer. This is Real Life after all.

TV vs. Real Life

Yesterday I was watching season two of Six Feet Under, I love the show but was getting annoyed with some of the main characters. Yes I know this show has long ended and is old news but it is new to me. I was getting irritated by Nate and Brenda, actually it was Brenda she is driving me nuts. I know she is unstable, but how long does it take for someone to get over themselves. I realize this is a TV show but I believe there is some reality there, like the crazy chick getting the great guy. I am convinced that men want to save us; we need to have family issues, insecurities and to run hot and cold. One minute Brenda wants Nate, then the next she can’t stand him, this apparently has been going on for a year and he is madly in love with this head case.

Not only is Brenda a hot mess but her brother is nuts, her parents are beyond loopy; yet Nate still hangs around. I thought it was stuff like that; that sent men running. Why is Nate still hanging around? Well I figure it comes down to this, he thinks he is going to be the man that will save Brenda, he can provide her with the love she so wants but does not think she deserves. He can be there for every breakdown, which makes her dependent on him, in turn makes him feel needed. I think this bothers me so much because I had lived with Crazy, and you can’t fix them, they have to want to fix themselves.

We all want to feel needed and loved but do we have to be broken to get it? Is our desire to save the one we think we can’t live without a true desire to help or is this a need human beings have to feed their egos? I have no desire to save anyone, I will give a helping hand if you asked me for help, but I will not go out of my way to fix someone’s issues. Living with Crazy has taught me that only we can fix ourselves; we are responsible for our happiness and if you haven’t showered in a week seek help!!!

Is there hope for those of us that have it together? Yes I believe so; they say we attract what we put out into the universe. I believe this; I know that I had attracted Crazy because I was not ready to make the changes within myself yet, so I attracted someone that had worse issues so I can fix him. So if you want to be saved you will attracted the person who wants to save you, the secret is to know what you want. Once you know, live the life that will attract the things you want and the person who fits your beliefs will come along.

I believe I will marry Leo Dicaprio, I believe I will marry Leo Dicaprio, I believe I will marry Leo Dicaprio, I believe I will marry Leo Dicaprio!

Cheers!

The Crazies….

I know you don’t know too much about me but what you will realize over time is that if there is a crazy man in a place he will find me and latch on like nobody’s business. I kindly call them the crazies, aka good stories the next day. Last night was no exception, it started off innocently enough but then turned quickly into another episode of ‘The Crazies’. The funny thing about this particular story is that I wasn’t even drunk yet and I was getting offers to be paraded around the restaurant as the “hottest girl”, being spat on and pushed into the wall by the same ‘married man’ that was enamoured by my beauty. This crazy came with another married man for “Hopeful in TO” we’ll call him crazy #2. He was a winner as well considering he texted his buddy and said that his friend hit on “10’s”, while flattering as this may be I am more than a number, even if the number is a 10.

Off we went to another locale to catch the Steel Panther show. If you don’t know who they are google them, it’s worth it, especially if you have a sense of humour. In the line-up we high fived a guy so you know the show is starting off with a bang…Then in the coat check line a girl who just bought Steel Panther panties started putting them on in front of us, if this doesn’t give you a sense of the type of show we were at I don’t know what will….We then go to find a place on the floor in front of the stage and we meet a group of nicely ripped tattooed boys who claimed to be strippers, and they started doing some stripper dance moves. Fun times, fun times…

Then we headed to another section of the bar and a group of guys with eye make-up, Steel Panther shirts and fake mullets were making some eye contact so being the friendly people we are we start chatting them up. Needless to say there were kisses, application of eyeliner on the guy from Australia, me (Queen B) being lifted up (a couple of times) and having conversations with boys about trust issues. I’m not exactly sure how the conversation thing happened but apparently my 23 year old fake mullet wearing friend thinks I have trust issues. LOL, who doesn’t and why was I having this conversation at a concert?

Honestly I’m surprised I remember any of this given my trip home was a blur and I’m sure I hit some trees along the way. But today’s ultimate reminder are the bruises on my right shoulder, it seems the crazies are getting violent so I need to be more careful.
