Welcome to My Ranting and Ravings...
I bitch a lot....I sometimes feel my opinions are valid...sometimes it's just me bitchin'. I think it's the greatest thing in the world to express oneself. This is me expressing myself. You may not agree with my rantings but they are my own.

I've noticed recently that women in their 30's have developed a new way of speaking. It seems somewhere along the way of the pussification of men in this age range, women have decided to shift into their masculine roles. I have no problem whatsoever with women talking about sex, but there is a certain code of conduct I like to accompany this type of talk. I don't need to know every single detail of your sexual encounters...have you ever heard of keeping it mysterious? I've been listening to women all over the city actually boast about their sexual conquests and very loudly.
I'm a firm believer in being a strong, independent and sexy female, but for me, sexy is something which radiates from inside. This does not come from using vulgar language when describing one's intimate endeavors. It is difficult enough to have silicon city in the media every five minutes or the latest teen trainwreck's hoohah in my face when I open a magazine. Women should be feminine, discreet, sensual and intelligent. I do not believe in this new filth talking machine. AND PLEASE ladies, can we not do it in the AM on the F train? I mean I don't need to hear about how your big your bike courier boyfriend is at 8 in the morning!
I think this type of behavior is all part of the dumbing down of America. It's just not becoming ladies. It's like sitting with your legs wide open for everyone to see...literally and figuratively. It is more powerful to keep your legs crossed in public and whatever you do behind closed doors is your own. Just because you say it out loud doesn't mean you are a strong woman nor does it give you sexual freedom.
"Who wants to buy the cow if you're giving the milk away for free?" There are other ways to express yourself in a non-vulgar way. If you really can't wait to tell your friend what JimBob did to you last night, then whisper it to her or wait until you guys are alone. Talking like a porn star will only attract those types of men. What gentleman is going to take that out in public? I could be totally wrong about all this. Maybe men love listening to women talk like that publicly. Maybe grabbing some dude's balls in public turns them on. Maybe your girlfriends like it when you use all those C words in depicting your night out.
I only can say this, from where I'm standing you sound like a whore. You sound like someone who just wants to screw the world and doesn't have an ounce of self respect. You're not sexy. You're not classy and if you can pull that off in front of a five year old, well that's not telling me much about your long-term relationship status. It's just plain gross for a woman to talk like that. So, clean it up ladies...have some self respect and have some respect to our ears as well.

Just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to all you Daddies out there. I am a Daddy's girl by heart and although my dad resides in Louisiana and I'm up here, we always manage to communicate. I just want to thank him for always being at my side no matter what. He always supports every decision I make whether it was coming home with purple hair as a teen or quitting my job I hate. He always picks me up when I'm down and out and always lends good advice. Most of all he listens when I bitch, or am upset, or have good news and for that I thank him. So, Happy Father's Day, to my dad who reminds me of our love of crawfish, gumbo, horses, cars, and a good beer, I love you and miss you every day!
Sorry, I get sentimental when it comes to my daddy...and yes, I still call him daddy...my heart is still in the South! Now, I also want to extend a Happy Father's Day to my other Dad who I call Dude. My dad-in-law is a great father who works way too hard to take care of his fam. He is kind and patient and always has good advice, even when his sons don't listen! I thank him for being such a great supporter and for always wanting to do the right thing. Most of all I thank him for giving me his son.
It's a great responsibility being a father. Our fathers are from when men were men. They stood up for what they believed in and did it with heart. They spanked the crap out of you when you were being bad, they taught you how to change your oil in your car, they tutored you after school, and they knew how how to fix stuff! Being a dad means being strong and being responsible. It means taking care of your own even if you aren't a part of the family any longer. Most importantly being a dad is believing in your children. It's going to the soccer game or gymnastic meet. It's taking the time to help with homework and listening about their day at school. It's disciplining them when they need it. It all comes down to providing a solid foundation for those kids to become responsible and strong adults....not these kids I see today. Kids today are weak. They can't handle stress or any type of obstacle without thinkng of blowing something up or killing someone. They can't think outside of their video induced worlds. I ask you all, why is this? Why has the male role model become obsolete? Why are the men of the world raising these gutless children?
So, my advice as a daughter to all you new father's out there....be a dad, be a man, teach your kids to stand up for themselves. Teach your kids to come to you in trust. Teach your kids how to throw a punch for pete's sake. Teach your kids how to survive in an ever changing fragile world. If anything just educate and be there for them.

I'm having a day. Things get blurred somewhere along the lines of happiness and surviving. You want to believe so badly in your own philosophies but the outside world won't let you do it. You'd have to give it all up. You'd have to surrender everything and everyone to fulfill this. I think I'm having a hard time staying grown up. I don't wanna be. I don't want to surrender to the system of my responsibilities in all aspects of my life. Don't you ever have those days when you just want to pull an "Office Space" and say "fuck it". I just don't care anymore...break free. Why aren't we playing more than we work? Why do we limit ourselves so much to adhere to antiquated ideas? Some days it is not clear to me what is right and what is right for me. Life is short...it used to be really long when I was seven, but these days life is breezing by. What shall I be remembered for? What have I impacted the world with? Have I made a difference? Is it really worth all this headache to achieve this monetary satisfaction and financial responsibility? Yeah, today is one of those "fuck it" days where I just want to be free of the burden and do whatever the hell I want and say whatever it is I'm feeling. It won't happen of course, but one can dream.

Dear Customer Service/Sales Reps/the bitch who works at the cat adoption place at Petco,
There is absolutely no reason why on Earth that you be so condescending when addressing my person. It is gorgeous outside yet your attitude is the ugliest I've seen in months. Are you having a bad day? Are people really bothering you that much? I'm really sorry to hear this but you can seriously take a long hard look at my middle finger. It's really sad that you, you who work with the public, have to be so snotty and rude to me. You have no idea who I am or my status in the world. The people in the cheese shop were nicer and they actually had people to deal with. You poor soul...you really just feel you are superior don't you? I suggest you find a new job, perhaps one which would includes you in a basement alone somewhere. You put some bad energy into my day, so much in fact I had to just turn around and go home...I hate that I gave you that power. I hope you all had a very shitty day afterwords. I hope people were asking you dumb questions and annoying the piss out of you. I hope you tripped on the sidewalk, I hope it rained on your way home when you had no umbrella, I hope someone snaked you to a taxi, I hope that you received thousands of pointless phone calls during the day and I hope that for one minute you thought about your behavior. If you hate your job then find one you actually like ladies. Jebus! You know that putting forth that kind of energy will only ensue it back your way. Thank you for your time. Please have a pleasant day and try to be kinder to the public because maybe next time I won't be so freakin' nice! xoxo,
Me

Sprang is in the air! Finally! Jesus I wish it would warm up. Paris Hilton fell and you would have thought the Earth stopped. Are we there yet people...have you reached the tipping point on this crap. I'm amazed anyone even cares. Today I want to just lie down and sleep. I over did my drinking last night in the worse possible...ok not worse possible but well enough. I'm not angry about anything, WHOA, wait yes I am. I don't understand people and their egos. How is it that you can help someone out and they turn their back on you if it isn't what they want or how they want it? Amazing. Everyone wants something for nothing it seems. I started this thinking it would be a good thing to give these humble, talents a haven, but instead I'm criticized for how I portray them or don't get any credit for exposing them. That's not very nice. I've come to the conclusion that people are who they are. I have to stop having these high expectations of people. To think I might have a bond or some connection, is a waste of time and efforts. It ends up being disappointing putting such energies in people. Believe in oneself...now that's something to be had and it's also very hard to do sometimes.
On a lighter note, I am starting to like my job as the days go by. I'm meeting some people. It's always hard starting a new job. You wonder how you will interact with people. You wonder who will become your lunch buddy. You wonder where the hell is lunch. You wonder if you can do the job now that you've sold yourself. You wonder if you will succeed and if this is the job that you end up at for years to come. All these things race through my mind while I'm here at my desk, which by the way is currently reminding me of a testing center.
so despite the recent backlash of some people's behaviors, I seem to be ok. I'm pushing myself harder than I ever have and moreso I'm enjoying my life. That's the point right?
