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A discontinued series from the 90's that's long been outdated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

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

When History Repeats Itself...

My mom raised three kids on her own. My close friend Sandra's* mom raised two kids on her own. My friend Lana* is a product of a married household. Let me tell you some more facts: I am now a single mom raising two kids on my own. My sister is a single mother raising two kids. Sandra is a single mom raising three kids on her own. Lana is married, with two children and more often than not, a stay at home mom. Lets take a look closer: My husband has always told me that I was destined to be a single mother. It is his belief that I didn't put in the effort required to keep our marriage afloat because I was far too receptive to being a single mother since that was the type of household that I came from. This may be true. I have no idea what a working marriage looks like since I wasn't the product of one. One of my brothers who grew up with my rolling stone of a father informed me that many of the flaws my husband had were the same flaws our father had. I found this to...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...
