Day 7: Opinion on Cheating.

My first thought on the topic was that cheating is a selfish, despicable act. That it ruins lives and generally fucks shit up, like it breaks up families and shit. Then I started thinking, nothing in this world is black and white, cheating included. I don't know the reasons why people cheat maybe sometimes it's justifiable. I may not approve of cheating but maybe I should try to understand what people are thinking. Granted, some people's reasons are downright silly and some folks cheat just because they can but I'm not gonna condemn everyone who's ever cheated.

Sidenote: That relationship you had at 14 when your 1st bf kissed another girl is not, in my view, cheating. I think that cheating can only happen in a mature, serious, adult relationship. If you're not old enough to consent to a feel up then your relationship shouldn't be serious enough to be affected by cheating. If it is then you, my dear need to go have a seat in the corner and reevaluate your priorities. 

Don't really have time to write much more, so this will have to do today. Toodles!!

DAY 5: 5 THINGS THAT IRRITATE ME ABOUT THE OPPOSITE/SAME SEX

OK. So apparently today's post is supposed to be about both sexes and not just the opposite sex as I said yesterday. Let me start by saying that this list in no way is a generalization on both sexes as a whole but rather a generalization of the humans I've personally had to deal with. That being said, in no particular order here's the shit that irritates me about people.

Opposite Sex

1. Double standards: Especially when it pertains to sex and sexuality. A guy can fuck 10 girls in a year and nobody bats an eyelash but heaven forbid a woman racks up that number over her entire lifetime she's automatically a slut. To hear a guy be praised while a woman is shamed for their respective sexual exploits almost makes one forget that we're living in the 21st century.

2. Cockiness: Let me let you in on a little secret guys. YOU ARE NOT GOD'S GIFT TO WOMEN! So stop acting like it. Ain't nothing wrong with being confident but when that confidence turns to arrogance and you start acting like if the women of earth should be on their knees thanking God for granting us the mercy of gracing us with your presence is when your status goes from being tolerable to GTFOH!

3. Lack of respect: So you're trying to get a girl's attention, why in  the world do you have to do so in the most disrespectful way possible? I am not a dog, so don't try to get my attention using noises you would use to call you puppy. And don't even begin to think that you will get even the smallest fraction of a passing glance if you decide to try to get my attention by letting me know how nice my body parts look and how much you'd really like to touch them. Don't even get me started on those motherfuckers who decide to be so boldfaced to try and touch.

4. Ego and General Douchebaggery: So a girl ignores your disrespectful advances in front of your friends and your ego is bruised, what do you do? You start cursing and insulting the random girl you were just trying to pick up. DA FLYING FUQ??? If the girl doesn't pay attention to you, move the fuck on. And those guys who complain about being in the friend zone, you're not in the friend zone because you're too nice. You're there because you're either a coward or a raging douchebag. Swallow your pride and let your testicles descend and see number 2 on this list.

5. Messy, Disorganized: I have 3 brothers and a shit ton of male cousins and and they are about the messiest human beings I've ever come across. They leave their dirty shit all over the place. I cannot tell you how many sweaty football uniforms I've had to pick up off the floor. It's like they do not care.  They pee all over the toilet seat/floor and expect it to be magically cleaned the next day. I've seen my brother's bathe before they go to sleep and get up the next morning and go off wherever without bathing. That's disgusting yo!

Same Sex

1. Dressing Inappropriately:  Ladies, if you're going to a bank, please wear something more suitable than tights and a lace tank top. Also, Uwi is a university not Ariapita Avenue. You DO NOT have to dress like you're going to a club and wear make up that's approaching Jokerish proportions, jeans and a T-shirt is fine. And when you go clubbing, please recognize that there is a difference between sexy and indecently exposed. Finally, we live in a tropical country, da fuq you wearing Uggs and winter jackets for?

2. Needy/Clingy: Girl like this piss me off to no end. Your boyfriend/spouse/significant other is not supposed to be in your presence 24/7/365. If you spent the entire day with him why do you have to call him as soon as he's out of your sight and spend hours more on the phone? Stop calling/texting/bbming every 5 seconds to check up on him. Stop getting mad when he can't spend Saturday with you but is with you every other day. Stop writing fb statuses about how much you miss him. As much as you want his world to revolve around you, it never will. You are not the only person in his life. Deal with it!

3. Unnecessary Drama: All the gossiping, jealousy, name calling, back stabbing etc can get really annoying. Can't we all just get along without it? I am amazed by some girls' ability and seeming pleasure at stirring up and being a part of this drama. Don't even get me started on grudges. Come on girls, play nice.

4. Attention seekers: Specifically those who fish for compliments, who post pics on fb/twitter/instagram with captions like "I look so ugly/fat", knowing that people are going to tell them how great they look. Or they post vaguely depressing statuses hoping for someone to ask them what's wrong. Did your parents not hug you enough as a child? Why are you so desperate to be noticed.

5. Disgusting: Have you ever walked into a ladies bathroom? They are usually nasty as fuck? Girls leaving their used pads and tampons all over the floor, smearing shit all over the walls and doors. Who does that? Seriously? Have you no fucking broughtupsy (that's home-training for you non-trinis out there)? You see a bin and you're just gonna ignore it and throw your bloody pad on the ground? And aren't tampons flush able? Why in the world are you spreading your shit on the floor? Nasty Ass Bitches!!

So this kinda turned into a rant. There is so much more I could write but this list called for 5 each. Maybe I'll do a part two of this sometime.

Day 4: I Have Questions

Welcome to Day 4 where we talk about what I wear to bed. No seriously, that's the topic. When I saw the topic for today I immediately had the following questions:

• Who came up with this challenge?
• Why do they want to know what people wear to bed?
• Am I unknowingly part of a sleepwear preference survey?

So in terms of sleepwear, I'm usually about comfort. I don't really own a lot of actual pajamas so I usually just throw something together like a tank top or over sized t shirt and shorts. Any deviation from that formula would depend on wear I'm sleeping. For example, if I sleep over at a friend's house you'd probably find me in an actual pair of pajamas, as opposed to if I sleep at my boyfriend's house where the choice of sleepwear can get...INTERESTING. *wink wink nudge nudge* 

Anyway I don't know what else can be said about the subject. If anybody expected a 25000 word essay detailing what I wear to bed complete with pictures then I'm sorry to disappoint you. Be back tomorrow when we'll be discussing shit that irritates me about the opposite sex. Cheerio!!

Day 3: I'm Attracted To....

It's challenge day 3 and the topic is "What type of person attracts you.". So let's begin.

I don't really have a type in the physical sense other than the fact that he must be taller than I am. I'm an equal opportunity kinda girl, race, religion and stuff like that don't really matter to me. I like someone who is confident (not cocky), and comfortable in their own skin. A guy with a great sense of personal style, who dresses well and isn't another A&F, Hollister or Aero model wannabe (seriously a well dressed man is a panty dropper). Someone with a great since of humor who makes me laugh without really trying to hard and isn't afraid to have fun. He must be a bit crazy (in the good sense not the St. Ann's sense), I mean someone who likes to do spontaneous, random stuff. He must have ambition and the drive and dedication to fulfill that ambition. I cannot stand a guy who has no direction and is content to sit around doing nothing and not better himself. He also must be able to spell, use proper grammar and hold an intelligent conversation when the occasion demands it. He must be intelligent and knowledgeable on current events. It's a plus if he can speak another language. So basically he must be the male version of myself.

So that basically my checklist. There's more but they are surely negotiable since I can't really think of them off the top of my head. See you guys tomorrow. 

Challenge Day 2: Changes....

Challenge Day 2. Today my mission is to let you guys know how I have changed over the past 2 years.

<Insert quip about being 2 years older>

All superficiality and physical changes aside, I think that the most significant change I've made is that I have stopped trying to please everybody. Case in point; I'm really passionate about the Spanish language, in fact I'm passionate about foreign languages in general. In my house we speak English, Spanish or a mixture of both. Personally I have always wanted to pursue a career that incorporates language but my family wanted me to choose something more traditional, like Law. So August 2011 comes around and I receive 2 acceptance offers from the University of the West Indies. The first, for Law and the second for Spanish and Linguistics. Everyone around me encouraged me to do Law and I felt so pressured to please them that I ultimately chose to pursue that course, even though every beat of my heart yearned to be doing Spanish. By  the end of the first semester I was miserable. I convinced myself that I just hadn't adjusted yet. Second semester comes along and I'm still unhappy and having frequent anxiety attacks. I can't tell you guys how many times I missed class because I couldn't bring myself to get off my bed and go to class. It was horrible. Still trying to please, I traveled to Barbados where I was to complete my studies, and had a truly horrible experience with my shady would-be landlords. Then it hit me; I had brought the whole horrible experience on myself when I made the decision to study something I didn't want to do all because I was trying to please everyone else. A person can't go through life like that. So I made a decision that a lot of people around me still struggle to understand, I left Law.

You know what? The anxiety attacks have stopped. It's like the cliche'd weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I could go into more details but my fingers hurt.

Moral of the story kids: Don't waste your life trying to please everyone. You'll go crazy like I did.

Day 1: Admittance is the First Step

So today is Challenge day numero uno. The task is to write about the weird things I do when I’m alone. I can only think of a couple things off the top of my head because there isn't really anything that I wait with bated breath until I’m left alone to do. There’s no “Finally I’m alone, I can ________” with me. Also, I’m not sure if my idea of weird coincides with anyone else’s but whatever let’s move on. So without much more ado, here are some things I have done when left alone that (I think) are weird. 

I pretend that I’m:

•  hosting a cooking/talk/reality show.
• Beyonce and mock her dance moves
• A model in a runway show (multiple outfit changes)
• A singer/backup dancer in a video (You get the point) 
• I hold conversations with myself. Not thinking out loud. I mean legitimate 2 sided conversations, including head turning and hand gesticulations.

Talk to every single thing in the house. Like “Hey fridge, how you doin?”

There’s this agouti that kinda lives in my yard. Anytime he shows up I narrate his actions like one of those NatGeo Discovery Channel shows.

Seriously wonder what went on in the characters’ lives after the events of a movie or book end and invent some scenarios.

Attempt ballet and/or gymnastics and fail miserably.

Make stupid faces/poses in the mirror.

Take random pics and video

Do Google image searches on random words and numbers.

Laugh at the penises on Chat-roulette.

Troll adult chat rooms

Let curiosity get the better of me and watch fetish porn leaving me either confused, amazed or on the verge of throwing up (2 girls 1 cup *shudders*).

Drink! Lol.

 As I write this list I can’t help but think, “Dear Lord, I must sound crazier than a mofo”. So there you have it ladies and gentlefolk: evidence that I might be outta my mind. Feel free to take me to St. Anns. If not I shall catch up with you guys later. 

Besitos.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

This post is dedicated to all those random douches who pass me on the street or sit next to me on public transportation and decide that it is their duty to tell me to smile.

First off, who the fuck are you? I see no reason for a man to be bold enough to approach a woman he does not know and command her to smile. Women are not fucking robots, we have other feelings and emotions than the one that evokes smiles.  Do you even have any idea why she is not smiling. Maybe she's ill, tired, angry because of something that happened. Maybe she just heard some bad news or is worried about some thing. Point is, you have no idea what is going on in this person's life, so don't be assume that you can be so insensitive and just walk up to somebody and tell them to put a smile on their face. For instance  I remember walking down the street while suffering from the most intense menstrual cramps, and this idiot passing me says, "Babygirl why you so serious? Smile nah!" That irritated the shit outta me. Here I am ready to pass out from the pain and this motherfucker tells me to smile. STEUPS.

Next thing, do you know how stupid the average person looks walking around with a smile plastered on their face? So do you really expect me to walk around like I'm in a toothpaste commercial? I would look crazy as fuck. You sure as hell aren't walking around with an idiotic smile on your face so why should I? And let's be honest, you'd probably try to get as far away as possible from me if I looked crazy. 

Sidenote: If "Smile nah" is your idea of a pickup line, then quite frankly I feel sorry for you. You obviously have no idea what you are doing. My deepest sympathies  go out to you sir. 

Moral of the story guys, next time you go out in public and feel the need to approach a strange woman and tell her to smile, please resist the urges and refrain from doing so.

I Forgot I That I Have a Blog/Random Thoughts

I really and truly forgot about this blog for a while. Then I remembered that my blog existed and started this post only to forget about it a couple days later. So here I am again remembering that I have a blog.

I was going to insert some random thoughts of mine into this post but then my sister sat next to me and started reading as I typed. Let me tell you, I absolutely detest when people do that. Not only is it an invasion of my privacy but it also throws off my creative process. How can I be this amazing writer and produce magnificent writings if there is someone looking over my shoulder, hanging on my every word? I suppose I could take it as a compliment that she is here. Maybe I'm just so brilliant that she is just dreadfully anxious to read what I have written and therefore cannot contain her excitement. Then again she could just be looking to "macco" what I'm doing (i.e. she just wants to be all up in my business). After all she is quite the nosy person.

So, enough about her. Expect another post soon, consisting of random thoughts, shit I think is funny or weird or maybe even an angry rant (really it could be anything). Anyway, hasta luego my friends.

My First Post

I've been meaning to start a blog for the longest while. I mean it's about time that the world at large is exposed to my awesomeness isn't it?

But really, sometimes there's stuff I want to say that I can't really say elsewhere. Facebook is full of family members and Twitter and it's 140 character limit means I edit my rants a lot. So, while I will be ranting on this page, I will also use this space to give my general opinion on anything that comes to mind...and I mean anything. No topic is off limits here. It's a safe place. There's no shame in anything.

Welcome to the crazy place that is my head! I look forward to beginning my life as a blogger. Hopefully it's an exciting one.

P.S. I do realise this first post is essentially me talking to myself and it makes me feel like a crazy person!
