I am so happy I am single. Don’t get me wrong, growing up I always thought by 30 I would not only be married but already have children. There are days now where I wish I had someone in my life, but more of an emotional support thing than a lonely thing. I guess that means I would be using Him, eh? LOL But most of the time, I am happy I am single. Sometimes, I think I am way too picky, but then I see these tantrums that reassure me I am making the right choice. Then again, the men in my family often are the ones who remind me that I’m better off single.

I don’t understand what is going on with today’s adults. Was I brought up with a different set of ethics and an opposite view of what is acceptable behavior? I realize that I am speaking negatively about my own generation, but come on people. What is going on? Maybe I’m just a bitch who doesn’t give anyone any slack – but maybe these “adults” need to grow up.

Things just seem simple to me. We make time for people and things that are important to us. If we are unable to do this, then that person or thing must not rank very high on our list of priorities right now. There isn’t anything wrong with that, at different times we all need a different precedence from time to time, but I think that for a committed relationship to work, one’s Partner must come first.

Unfortunately, that also means in times of danger or crisis. Yes I do well under pressure and I tend to step up during times of crisis, but I do not want a man who will hide behind me! I understand that it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but its about manning up. Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t desire the macho man who pounds his chest and treats me as though I am incapable. I’m just hoping for some kind of balance between the two.

The kicker, I believe, is how can a guy like this take control of another person? How can this kind of guy be my Dominant/Master/Daddy/Owner when he needs a babysitter himself?? Besides, if he is so easily upset and ungrounded, then he doesn't stand a chance with me.

I was watching this new show on VH1 called Tough Love. It’s a reality show about girls who are being molded by a match-maker to be ready for a relationship. Anyway, he told the girls something that has truly stuck in my head. "Children whine and complain, women deal with it." I’m going to start using that! "Children whine and complain, men deal with it."

One day the right Man will come along who will not only 'man up' and take life by the horns but also appreciate the fact I didn't waste any more of my time on squawl boxes. :) Of this, I have no doubt.

Things have been pretty. . . . wild lately. As Hurricane Ike tore through the south west, my own personal storm has unsettled my entire world. Thank God that the devastation I have gone through is nothing compared to those who lost everything. . . because I am finding my footing once more. I pray things with those who survived Ike are able to settle safely, soon.

I don't know why this song has been on my heart/mind the last week or so. I am posting it here, to share. . . . I do not have a STD, have no interest in having one. But as the song suggests, it only takes one encounter, one time, one person to change your life. . . forever.

Wikipedia Says: A 1994 song from American Country music artist Reba McEntire. Upon its release, the song gained media attention and controversy for being the first country music song to address the subject of AIDS.


'She Thinks his name was John'
Sung by Reba McEntire


She can account for all of the men in her past
Where they are now, who they married, how many kids they have
She knew their backgrounds, family and friends
A few she even talks to now and then

But there is one she cant put her finger on
There is one who never leaves her thoughts
And she thinks his name was John

A chance meeting, a party a few years back
Broad shoulders and blue eyes, his hair was so black
He was a friend of a friend you could say
She let his smile just sweep her away
And in her heart she knew it was wrong
But too much wine and she left his bed at dawn
And she thinks his name was John

Now each day is one day thats left in her life
She wont know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies
She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep
cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams

And all her friends say what a pity what a loss
And in the end when she was barely hanging on
All she could say is she thinks his name was John

Taking a break from work this afternoon, I was watching a bit of Kathy Griffin’s reality show and she had an interview with Rosie O’Donnell. I’ve always respected Rosie for the courage she has to be herself, even when it wasn’t popular. Plus as a hag, like Kathy, I do love my gays. :)

So I go to
Rosie’s webpage, because I have been slacking in my ‘keeping up with celebs’ snooping, and found a link to a webpage that just blew my mind. National Priorities Project, which is a webpage that is focused about ‘bringing the federal budget home’ on a level that anyone/everyone can understand. The primary purpose of the page is about the war, but since I fully support our troops serving, I cannot exactly knock what they are doing. So instead, I decided to break down the proposed tax breaks for the upcoming fisical year.

Taxpayers in Tennessee will pay $1.8 billion for tax cuts for
the richest 10% in FY 2009. For the same amount of money, the following could
have been provided:
377,596 People with Health Care for One Year
or
36,309 Elementary School Teachers for One Year
I am just blown away. These are two very important necessities that, if funded correctly, could have an enormous impact not only on the presence of our country but of our future. Then again, we all have our view of what is important or should be a priority, depending on our own position.

Here is your horoscope
for Monday, June 2:


Why can't things be simple when you need them to be? Today brings so many shades of gray that you may have forgotten what black and white look like. Things return to normal soon, though!

Interesting......... Things with J seem to come to mind.
