Hello Earthlings: A Quiet Rant

I'm an alien.
Okay, before you decide that I am off my rocker allow me to explain.
Most people that I interact with I just don't understand. I have reached a point where I don't understand most things. I don't understand why complete strangers feel obligated to be "polite" and ask me how I am doing when they truly don't care. Or how about why banks allow you to spend money that you don't have only to penalize you later for it with an overdraft fee, then tell you that you don't need to balance your checking account because their website is in real time when it really isn't. What about men who want to get inside of you but somehow manage to exclude your heart and mind from that equation? I don't understand that. I really don't understand fathers who make babies but don't raise them. Was that just the highlight of your year to create a human being and then totally disregard the involvement that comes along with actually raising one? I don't understand why people get married only to ruin their own marriages. Seriously, why waste time walking down the aisle when you were only going to walk out on the marriage four years later (okay that was personal).

I don't understand women who dress like slut cakes and then complain about men treating them like a piece of steak. I'm going to quote Dave Chapelle or Chris Rock...one of them here: "If you run around dressed like a Cop because you feel like it, don't get mad when someone runs up to you and says they need help for a robbery or a murder...you're dressed like a frikkin' cop!" So to those ladies, don't walk around showing all of your goodies and wonder why all of the guys are sprinkling A-1 sauce on you.
Another thing I don't understand? Lying! When you become an adult you really shouldn't feel obligated to lie to anyone anymore. Its ridiculous. Tell the truth and let the other person be held accountable for how they handle the information you gave them.
I don't understand why people who never pray, or even acknowledge any deity always shout "Oh my God" in the height of pain, fear or sorrow. So, do you believe or not? That makes no sense.
I don't understand why men and woman complain about their significant others for years on end. Either they like complaining or they hate moving on. Pick one.
I don't understand fat people who cry on treadmills. I thought you were crying over being fat? I'm confused.
I don't understand people who tell me how talented they believe I am but refuse to read one poem, story or excerpt of my writing. How do YOU know I am talented when you couldn't invest FIVE minutes in me to find out? Oh let's just revisit the lying portion of the post a few paragraphs back. Then we can have that question covered.
I still can't seem to understand why I have tennis elbow when I haven't played a bit of tennis since I was ten years old. Still my elbow aches and my "tennis elbow" is quite apparent.
Another thing I don't understand, and I am guilty of this...why do people tell you they drink, but not to get drunk? Well then what is the point? Do people do drugs not to get high? Still trying to sort that one out...

Last thing I really don't understand... love. I am so sick of that word I think I am going to wipe it out of my vocabulary for about a year. I can revisit that later.
So, I think its time for me to retreat to my planet and hang out there and observe from a distance so that the next time I visit earth, I can blend in a little better.

Going out in Peace....

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re...

The Real Thing Relationships/Dating

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,...

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha...
