  Embracing Singlehood: Why I Choose Happiness, Independence, and Self-Respect Recently, I found myself in a rather interesting conversation with a few individuals who seemed to question my life choices. They asked if I'd ever done something embarrassing, insinuating that perhaps I hadn't lived enough to understand certain experiences. Well, let me set the record straight: yes, I've had my fair share of embarrassing moments, but never anything as reckless or repulsive as some of the scenarios they brought up. Let's address the elephant in the room. No, I've never gone to bed with a stranger on the first date, nor have I ever stooped so low as to pick up human feces. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in exercising better judgment than that. It's called common sense, folks, and it's a valuable tool for avoiding situations that would make you the subject of ridicule or scorn. You might wonder why I'm so passionate about this topic. Well, let me tell you.

A Leopard Can't Change His Stripes! If someone disrespect you once they'll do it again. The only way you can stop this is if you remove them from your life. Trust me on this. It's a hard learned less for me. See I don't like “giving up” or “throng in the towel” on a person or on anything actually. The last man I dated, that I loved, never loved or respected me though he faked it for five years. He had showed me he didn't in small ways over the few years leading up to him asking me to be his girlfriend. I'm sure I just discounted the signs because I loved him and because he's a dude and we were just friends at the time. While we were together he showed his disdain, lack of love, and disrespect in increasingly obvious ways that even his acquaintances, friends, and family who barely knew me or only knew of me called him out on. A man who respects you won't cheat on you. A man who respects you won't' lie to you. A man who respects you won&

The Modern Entitled Brat Vet I have no doubt I will get angry comments for this one but you should know by now: I DON'T CARE! I have the same Constitutional God given right to free speech as you do. So before you start just go ahead and stop your bitching. I'm from a very patriotic family full of veterans going at least as far back as the 1600s. My grandpa was a WWII vet, my dad and my uncle are Vietnam vets, my other grandpa was a post Korean war service man, the above mentioned uncle was a “lifer” in the service, another uncle was a “lifer” in his branch as well. Add in a bunch of great uncles, various degree of cousins and cousin-in-laws to the list of service members that I'm kin to and you can gather that I grew up immersed in the culture and have a great love and respect for veterans. Honestly I'm finding it hard to have much respect for a lot of the veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars of the past sixteen years. These vets have it better than any o

Time To Be Ladies  Too many hoes try and hook a man by getting knocked up and too many females think they need a man to provide for them rather then them act like grown woman and provide for themselves.  None of us grown women should be allowing ourselves to get pregnant unless we've married a good man who loves us and we are a good woman who loves him and we are MARRIED. Shacking up and popping kids out with boyfriends etc doesn't make any of us females look good and it gives these males the impression that we are all okay with that and will behave like those kinds of sluts.  Nah. Time for womankind to take back our respect and start acting like ladies again!
