SATC Syndrome

Even though I LOVE the show, "Sex and the City" has given single girls every where unrealistic expectations of what their 20s and 30s will be. I know it was just an HBO sitcom, but it does present certain truths that cloud one's reasoning. Dancing around from men to men is a joke and extremely damaging to one's self-esteem and psyche. Guys, let no women tell you differently. Ladies, it is best to just focus on self-improvement, spirituality and work on having a life devoted to service...that is where one finds true joy. Not in multiple-weekday dates with losers, wasting money on expensive clothes AND shoes for each of those dates, and the worst possible thing.....having empty, meaningless sex with those morons in hopes of feeling that this stranger might be the one. And let's not even begin to address the differences between varying cultures and ethnic groups. 

So to "Sex and the City" I say, thank you for the laughs, the fashion and the illusions....

I'm 24 today...

alpha and omega.

“No matter how collected Obama is during his speech, he’s hearing LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” blasting in his head.” — Patton Oswalt

“What a moment for Obama. What a moment for America. Magnificent address by the President. And magnificent operation. This is his finest hour.” — Piers Morgan

“Just landed. Watching CNN, what a historical moment in the fight against hatred.” — Lady Gaga

“Does Elton John do a bin laden version of ‘Candle in the Wind’… ‘Like a giant hellish fireball in the wind…’ ” — Adam McKay

Monday words of wisdom

“Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

My birthstone is emerald, so it's only fitting that I begin this month with Alice Walker's book. I used to read this as a child and I always wanted a green stone, lol
