(1) the infomercial advertising pills that will increase the size of the male appendage; specifically, the young lady approaching random men on the street asking if they've heard of it. Interestingly, they've not only heard of it, but every single one of them has also been taking it for months. All of their wives are quite happy as well. FYI.
(2) the Teen News (though I can't quite figure out why they run this so late at night, do teenagers watch the news at 3a.m.? I wouldn't think so. I mean, that wouldn't have been my first slumber party choice. But I also wasn't sexting at that age. Nor do I currently sext. All I'm saying is times have changed. Anyway, I digress...)
(3) the loan modification hotline, allegedly endorsed by Pres. Obama himself.
The dual action colon cleanse system was a close runner up. You get my point yes? As gramma used to say, ain't nothin open this late but legs. Um, not mine though. Well the infomercial invigoration doesn't last for long. I think this could be a rather exciting alternative.
Sooo... Men, money and makeup? Allow me to explain.
I've started to embrace that as I get older, I spend more and more time either seeking, chasing or using these things, in no respective order. Lately, conversations with my girlfriends seem to focus almost exclusively on them. We laugh, we cry, we anger because of them. And in one way or another, they creep into convo every day. Every hour.
Sure, I enjoy a good amount of political and religious banter as well. I frequently dabble in social commentary. And I have really, really smart friends who can hold their own with any pundit. But we can't hide that we all seek happiness- companionship, a rewarding career and comfortable lifestyle, and beauty, both physical and mental. Not you huh? Yeah... right.
And since we spend half our lives either looking for or complaining about these things, I thought it'd be cool to have a forum. I invite my friends to participate. I think it'll be fun. At least for me.
Goodnight
Love it!!
ReplyDeleteSo, shall I start the dialogue, or rather continue the conversation that Joc and I have been engaged in. The ghetto beau…and my two new obsessions: weekly mani’s and apple bottom jeans. I know your saying….WTF! Let’s start with the ghetto beau. I can’t figure out whether I am falling for him, or addicted to the amazing sex. Either way, I am dropping my conservative, up-tight attitude; letting my hair hang; and, enjoying every bit of the “2 in the afternoon just stop by to say hello” visits. DAMN!!!! My second new thing: weekly mani’s. I just love the way my nails look with a manicure. It makes me feel so girlie, which is the complete opposite of my demeanor. I walk through the hospital playing tough ER doc, but looking cutsie with a fresh mani. Finally, I bought my first pair of apple bottoms when Oprah had them on her “favorite things” list a few years back. I decided to update the jeans section of my wardrobe this week, and went to the apple bottom website. Not only did I get my jeans the next day (without paying expensive express shipping), but also I tried them on, and DAMN they make my ass look GREAT!
ReplyDeleteVery sultry and sophisticated! I love it!! i could use more literary entertainment since i dont watch tv :)
ReplyDeleteJoc is one of the few geniuses I know.
ReplyDeleteAs far as continuing the convo, I am always intrigued by the women's draw to makeup. I understand it is not a contemporary, nor American, phenomenon as women (and men too in some cultures) have used different materials to accent the face throughout time. But in this world, I wonder do ya'll realize that most guys could care less about your makeup? And if that is a self-righteous comment and the makeup really isn't for the men... please humor and explain what its purpose is!
"men.money.makeup" ... my life in short. I love them all and they all love me. In fact, every professional woman I know is in some odd love triangle with these three...they get around. I'm looking forward to your continued commentary on this threesome.
ReplyDeleteI would like to answer M$M question about falling for someone or being addicted to them. First, lets address the idea of Falling For Someone. This very statement has within its text has great meaning. Lets take for example the act of falling. When we fall, we have to already be,arrived, in a place to then get some place else. So when we fall we leave the place from which you reside to another place usually not deliberately and without the normal grace and conviction that we would like. Many times this act of falling can result in discomfort and pain of some kind. Okay so you with me so far? Good. Now, if you can believe that where u stand, where u are is your where your Power resides, and that there is no other place, future or past, where that is true, then u can better understand that To give up that place of the Now, where your power resides, and move,Fall to another place would result in the loss of that power. I believe many of us would not want to be in a place where we have no power? How could we make any decisions that are of our higher choice from a place of powerlessness? I will answer that, We Can Not. Remember u arrived from a place of standing in your power of now, to falling to a place of powerlessness. I believe where u stand is a holy ground. Where u are is holy work. If i am no longer standing and have in fact fallen. what kind of work am i doing? I would say a better, choice, a higher choice is to 'Be' with him, not from a place of 'falling for him', but from the place of where u stand, meeting together on a common place of power for you both. Then, and only then,due i believe that the relationship will have a better chance of being what it was intended. And that is to show us who we are. (BBBs) Beautiful,Brilliant,Beings.
ReplyDeleteNow the second part is addicted to someone. When u ask yourself, do i miss the person when they are not in my presence and that saddens you ? And the answer is yes, then u are addict -ed to that person. Okay a little further explanation, if the memory of a person changes or alters your joy, then u have placed more importance on the other person than u should in order to maintain your joy. Now this makes sense if u believe that nothing matters more in your life than that i feel good. Which is your Natural state of being. ( Just take a look at a young child). If u believe this to be true and if being addict -ed to someone is not the highest choice, then choose again. Choose your Joy every time! I will end at this point and will continue if there is a need. Peace.
Truer words have never been spoken Deizal!!!
