REPOSTED


in honor of the 92 degree 50% humidity day, i give unto you a repeat from last year.


ODE TO MY AIR CONDITION UNIT

there i lay, nice and cool
instead of lounging in a pool
of my sweat because it's hot
and cool myself, oh i cannot
so i turn you on to 6o degrees
and you send a rush straight to my knees
i let the cool air fall all around
and jump into bed with a bound
i am all smiles and a giggle too
cause i am not sweating in my own hot pool
i'll sleep well tonight and have no fear
it'll feel like winter all the year
as i drift i thank my lucky stars
because outside it's as hot as mars
and i am lucky that you're there all the time
to calm me, comfort me... so i won't whine
thank you, thank you-- i sing your praise
what would i do without you on these hot, hot days
never leave me, until the fall
then i guess i really won't need you at all
but i won't forget all the comfort you gave
my knight in shining metal... you are oh so brave
you are my AC, i'll forever be true
my heart i give... only to you.

MORE THAN JUST THE CRUMBS


so i have this really good friend.
this friend is a dude.
this dude has taught me a lot.



in the recent past i have spent more time with this dude and have begun to realize something that i haven't for a long while, maybe even my whole life.



dude is a good dude. he is gentle and kind. every time i am with dude he makes me feel so good about myself. he is very complimentary, tells me how much he appreciates me, how much he is glad that i was born (that's a direct quote). he opens my doors for me, makes sure i have water if i need it, makes me feel like i am being taken care of in every way. he doesn't do this because he has romantic feelings for me...because he doesn't and i don't for him. but time and time again he tells me that more men should just treat women this way, just because they are men and we are women.



so last night, after spending some good quality time with two of the best men on the planet, i realized that by just being with them, listening to the way they talk about me, the way they lift me up... i shouldn't accept any less from the men with whom i'm dating.



it's not that i have NEVER spent time with a guy who treats me like this, on the contrary. but lately, i have realized that i have been willing to accept the crumbs of would-be suitors in hopes that eventually they will give me the whole piece. and i find myself giving more of myself then they do of themselves and walk away feeling rather silly.



but when i am with men that make me feel like i am the most amazing thing, i have no desire for crumbs. i see my self worth in a whole new way. i see how it is to feel good about myself just by being with someone that truly cares about me and wants to take care of me. would that we all had dudes in our lives to help us remember these things in such a way. if you want to borrow mine, let me know and i'll hook it up.


ladies, i submit that we will feel better about who we are when we stop accepting the bear minimum from the men we wish to be in our lives. stop taking the crumbs and trying to somehow turn them into whole cakes. eventually, someone will come into our lives that just can't wait to give more than the crumbs... what a feast that will be!!!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN


i have a severe fear that i always have poo poo breath.

if you ever smell poo poo on my breath, please kindly tell me.

but don't do it in front of a lot of people, that would be more embarrassing than the fact that apparently i eat poop for dinner.

that is all.

HALF BACK (not to be confused with the position in football)


okay so you knew i wouldn't be able to stay away for long... heck... i knew i wasn't going to stay away for long. just enough time to get my head on straight. but even though i'm back... don't expect much, a girl's gotta keep things in check. so i won't be around much, just enough to let out a little creative steam every now and then.


in honor of my return i would like to highlight a music group that you probably never heard of, yet you know all of their songs. ever heard of BREATHE??? me neither and then again i have heard

this:


oh my gosh her outfit makes me pee in my pants!



and this:

you HAVE to watch this ALL THE WAY THROUGH to see the ice cube... it's worth it.



what about this:

check out this girl's hat... are you kidding me???


i love the 80's... let's go back!
