Tyrone Left A Message... "call HIM!"

Have you ever tried to be civil and the other person still acts like a d-bag?
Maybe they are obligated by the D-Bag Creed to continue to act like a total jackass until communicated has ended. Either way, such dedication even to be a jerk has got to be admired. What's sad is when the person won't apply that dedication and ambition to things that really matter like work, communication, friendship, marriage, relationships, life in general, goals... you know, the little things *sarcasm*.
So, how do we handle the D-Bags? Do we ignore them? Do we grin and bear it? At times we feel like returning each pained encounter with the D-Bag with our own version of D-Bag behavior. Most times we end up more annoyed because our effort to frustrate their D-Bag tactics ends up failing miserably. Normal people just can't go engaging in D-Bag Warfare. It doesn't work. We don't have the stamina or the creativity for it.
My advice for all who are dealing with someone who seems to take joy in making you miserable: IGNORE THEM. The more you retaliate, the more attention they receive. People who are jackasses tend to thrive and act out once they receive attention. Isn't an ass most stubborn when you are trying to control the path he takes? Let a D-bag crash and burn and wash your hands of it completely. I have tons of experience with this and honestly when it comes to authentic, true blue D-bags... I haven't met one worth fretting over.
I remember Erykah Badu's song "Tyrone". She starts off by telling the person how tired she is of his crap... after a strong argument, she concludes with the advice that her D-Bag of a boyfriend should call Tyrone (his friend) so he can help him get his sh*t. Its funny how most people who are jerks target one person and suck them dry of patience, energy and emotion. However, when you try to handle them like an adult and address it, they never in sight. If its a co-worker they are tattling to a superior, if its a boyfriend or husband, they are with that scum bag friend that ALWAYS encourages the worst choices, or if its a friend they are with that other friend that is only good to be miserable with.
I have decided to take Erykah's attitude on the matter. When a D-bag wants to zap you of your energy, tell them to take that crap to "Tyrone". Let him deal with the deal with it. After all, its better him that YOU!

    I've had my share of d-bag behavior. You are right sometimes you got to # dismiss them. No negotians.

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...

The First Time: Act Like You Know

" You know I care about you", he whined. He always seemed to whine when he was trying to persuade her. His brown eyes were wild and pleading. She didn't want to. She couldn't put a finger on why she didn't or when she would, but she just didn't. He still kept at it. What was a conversation became a debate. Every sentence said was in the form of an argument. He was stating his case. Why was he so passionate? "I'm not going to go anywhere. You know that." His frustration became apparent. He was annoyed with her for being so indecisive. He was impatient. He didn't want an answer, he wanted "the answer". She began to feel nervous. He did care for her, she knew that ... he isn't going anywhere... she knew that . Why was it so hard to give in? He finally relented with a few cuss words and turned his back to her. She felt like she upset him. Her nurturing instinct told her to make him feel better. She touched his shoulder, be...

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...
