Yeah, Right.

How many times have I bought this same cock and bull story. Over it. LOL

Make It That Kinda Day!

Yeah, I know it's Monday. The start of yet another work week. The daily grind with work piling up and more trials and tribulations. I understand baby. But know this, whatever the circumstance today, make the most of it and have fun in what you're doing! Be playful. Laugh! Love! Live!

'Sides, Ru and her gurls are on tonight! Yay. Definitely somethin' to get me through the day and look forward to tonight.

Happy Birthday Antonio!

Before I forget....Mr. Sexy celebrates 40 years today. Hm. So one birthday every four year, eh? So how many actual birthdays has Antonio Sabato, Jr. really had since '72? If my math is right, he's only 10!!! LOL.

Glad For The Smiles...

As I eek my way back into blogging, I can't pass the chance to comment on this week's I know episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. I know. I'm two days late and more than few dollars short, but my wait was worth it. Go head Glamazons!

Finally sat down tonight and watched this week'sI laughed until I hollered then cried until I pissed myself. What a mess. I loved, loved LOVED Snatch Game 2012. Jiggily as Snooki ...Too funny! I know my diva Latrice was none too happy, but it made for enjoyable TV this week. Loved it! One of the best episodes this season IMHO.

Solitude

It's the last day of February, an extra day in February. I guess I should say something for the month huh?

I've been in a strange place and just haven't feel much like blogging. I have no opinions. No witty remarks. Nothing of deep personal interest going on. So rather that bore, I decided to take a hiatus. I still need time to collect myself, but I suppose when the spirit hits, I'll be back on the keyboard again. Until then...

What Lies Beneath

In no way do I consider myself the supreme aficionado of men's undergarments (or in the usual parlance, 'draws' LOL) but I do know what typically looks good. Just when I thought no one could make tighty whities look semi-sexy, I found this photo. Does he makes 'em work? Um, possssssibly? I think it's just the guy!

I'm not completely sold. I prefer my men in boxer's or boxer briefs. TW's are usually ugly and never seem to look like they fit right. Too baggy in all the wrong places, too wide lookin', and ever so unappealing... Maybe it's just me.

I'll keep searching for that perfect model that shows me otherwise...

Hey! Wassup?

You'll pardon my brief absence from blogging, please. Yours truly has been caught up and otherwise detained most of January. And here I thought the new year would usher in changes, yet it seems like old habits (and situations) indeed die hard. No worries. I'm regrouping.

So. 2012. Are you feelin' it yet? I'm still encouraged by what the year has to offer. I'm already plotting my next big adventure and as a suggestion from Wonder Man, Hawaii seems like the destination! My only fear is that's a long as plane ride. But if I can board and fly to LA, whats another few hours to Paradise, eh?

As far as my progress with my weight loss. I've successfully lost 25 lbs since starting, but it hasn't been easy. My next step is joining a gym later this month, but I will admit much trepidation due to irrational fears & insecurities. However, the good thing is I have a buddy system and three of my fellows have dedicated themselves to going with me. OK, good deal. So no mo' excuses, right Ian? Well now there's always room for procrastination! LOL

Kidding, but much like Jean Grey and the Phoenix, I'm taking time to come back and recreate myself as many times as it takes until I get what I want...

Ye Olde Iowa

Well after weeks of hearing politicos go on and on about it, it's finally here. The Iowa Caucus. Admittedly, I must have fallen asleep in Government 101 back in high school because I couldn't tell you the different between a caucus or a primary, or why Iowa is so important.

The GOP contenders are set and they say crazy ass Rick Santorum had been ranking in the top three for a while. God I hope not. Ask anybody from PA what they think of Santorum and you'll they side eye glance... Honestly though, nobody really takes a shine to being a good leader. What do we have? A few homophobes, a philanderer, a racist, a dollop of idiots, and each and every one ready to crush the middle class and working poor at any opportunity. Hm. Sounds WONDERFUL for the 45 President of the United States, eh?

2012 is going to be an interesting year politically speaking. I wonder how much will actually get accomplished or will the Right continue to block and delay bills and measures up until November? Like most Americans, I'm not satisfied with Congress. I don't necessarily think it's all 44's fault. Yes the Prez has made mistakes, but when you have the GOP purposely trip up the man, well, you can't place blame on the man solely. I'm just sayin'.

So anyway. There's my two cents worth on politics today.

So How Was Your Fist Day of 2012?

True to my word ( a promise made five minutes to midnight) I endeavored to rest, relax, and reflect today. For this new year eased in with little fanfare my day was spent lounging watch my DVR and feasting upon a medley of steamed clams & mussels. A bit lazy, but not a bad day.....

Tomorrow I have off, like many other folk, so I hope to get motivated with cleaning and the like. Resolutions? I don't I made any except to be good to myself and my spirit. I don't need to make grandiose plans that only will be abandoned in A few days. I'm terrible at keeping resolutions. How did this tradition start anyway, eh?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Letting Go Of The Old Year

2011 hasn't been a bad year. It's been overall a learning year and I'm proud to say I'm coming away from the last 3-6-5 with more insight and knowledge. There were times I felt like giving up, but perhaps my greatest testimony will be the resiliency gained. Sure I'm closing the old, starting the new, single, but it could be worse. LOL.

I'm looking forward to the challenges 2012 will bring and I hope to tackle many of my so-called failures from this year... lack of trust, vocational aspirations, weight loss, etc... and make those successes! Yep. 2012 is the year I take back.

The Mirror

I was surfing through blogs not long ago when a came across this post from Mike In Bama's sit about folks and their relationship with mirrors. I was like, "cool." because I hate mirrors. ALWAYS have. I'm reposting Mike's original blog and the link below. I take no credit for his work...



I have a mirror phobia... I don't look in the mirror very often.

If you're under 45 years old, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Not because we want you to think about your life and where it's going or anything. Just because we want you to squeeze in some good mirror sessions while you still enjoy them. According to a new survey out of England, age 45 is the turning point when people stop wanting to look at themselves in the mirror. The survey found that's when people look in the mirror and can't avoid thinking about how they've aged.

In the survey, 51% of people 18 to 24 say they look in the mirror at least 10 times a day.

From ages 25 to 34, that drops to 44% of people.

From ages 35 to 44, that drops to 33% of people.

And after age 45, only 9.4% of people look in the mirror that often. More than a quarter of people over 45 take it even further and say they try to never look in the mirror.

The survey also found that women are almost three times more likely to be concerned with aging than men. 32% of young women surveyed said they're dreading getting older versus 12% of young men.

So What Does Disneys Tell Us?

LOL. I saw this and just had to share....

Moving Onwards

The Christmas Holiday is done and the count down to 2012 is on. I still don't have concrete plans for Saturday. Hm. Been given a few invitations to gatherings, but I haven't decided what to do. I'd like to be out and about. My celebration, however, will be pretty low key. That's typically how it is. I am looking forward to the fresh start 2012 is bringing.

2011 was a learning year. It was neither good nor bad, just an experience overall. I learned more about my strengths and my station in life. I feel fortified that the next stage is secure and that some of my foals will be reached in the coming 365.

I'm ready. Let's get this party started!

Doctor Who Christmas Special

Tonight's the night! The Doctor Who Christmas Special! Whoo Hoo. BBC America 9 PM Eastern. Of course I'll be away, so the DVR will be waiting.

Merry Christmas!!!

Just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I'[m running a bit frantic today still doing festivity prep! Ugh! Next year, next year... LOL.

Happy Holiday!
