My Funny Valentine

My Funny Valentine

Initially, when you said to me that you sent me a gesture of affection
I'm the form of an email... I failed to express how unnecessary it was that you did such a thing
Instead I chose to be thankful that you thought of me although as the years have gone by my eyes have acquired a clarity that enables me
To see
Right through you
And when I read "your" words in a tone and richness I never heard
I immediately questioned the origin of your expression
After all it always seemed as if you created a profession of "yessing" me to death
For no particular reason
But apparently, for Mr. Misleading it's still hunting season
And I must look like an easy catch
Well,... Allow me to snatch back your fantasy and impose my reality on you
The way you imposed your contrived charm on me.
Despite your claims of refusing to play games
And creating erratic brain waves just to find the right words to say...
I copied your message
Yup, the whole kit and caboodle
And pasted that bitch in a search engine called Google
And I'd be darned... What did I see?
A direct quote from a Vampire Slayer named Buffy
A discontinued series from the 90's that's long been outdated
For some reason they used the exact words you created?
Now
Ain't
That
A bitch?
So as I sit here and try not to laugh
I fight the urge to call you, simply to ask
"why did you even bother, dumb ass"?
But I've decided not to bother
To inquire the reason
Because you may be hunting for dummies
But I'm just not in season
If you ever want to fool me- there's no need to try harder
Before you play the game
Just play a lot smarter.
I may be single, and sometimes I may get lonely
But I'd rather settle for alone
That waste time with a phony

-Dedicated to my FUNNY valentine

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...
