Destiny gots skillz!! And it was an interesting way to learn "on the job". Pun totally intended. :)
(Reposting a comment I got on FB about this blog from my friend Eva:) "I agree. My issue with her was never the n word. It was the other racist comments she made. Don't NAACP me. The assumptions that people who make condescending, hurtful, insensitive remarks are not racist, we just don't have a sense of humor. Whatever Dr. Laura. Like I told you when we talked Joy, she got the right one. Because I would have whooped her ass. Go run tell that. LOL"
"A teachable moment was lost in this controversy because the focus was misdirected. " BEST. SUMMARY. EVER. of this whole thing. I love this.
Tres sexy! ( I am SO cyber-stalking you today!!!)
Haaaa!!! I love it! And yes, he is right. My first 'episode' was... Wait. This ain't about me! LOL!! I am going to send you a link on Twitter to my blog about faking it, where I tell men how to "Dine Out" properly. I think you'll like it!!!
Stu - this was a great blog! You touched on SO many things, and your fears are the fears of oh-so-many people. And especially in this day and age where we have learned to 'cope' on our own, it almost seems moronical to give up your comfortable routine to jump into the unknown with someone else. Especially when there is a chance it won't work out. Just getting back to equilibrium after a bad 6-month relationship is horrible. I cannot imagine how long it would take me to recover from a divorce. Sidenote - spousal murder is on the rise again. So maybe some people never DO get over it.... Anyway, I do agree that divorce is a punk move. What I also think is that the people who value the vows of marriage the most are the most scared to get married. It weighs so heavily on us that we become paralyzed by the pressure. And so we stay alone - where it's safe and comfortable. I could go on forever about this so I will consciously s.t.o.p.
Great blog, Stu! The discussion about archetypes and historical duties and roles is for another time. Right now, I can tell you that I have several friends who don't/can't cook, and their husbands all love it when I cook, so their wives can bring them some food back home. I guess that makes me an enabler....? LOL!
I think I am pretty AND smart. I'm positive about the smart part, at least. But I have found that people who think I am pretty are shocked that I am a nerd, and my nerd friends don't know why I bother being a nerd - because I'm pretty! I even had one guy tell me (as I was reciting Tupac chapter and verse) that I was too pretty to be "hood". Wow, seriously? LOL! I think that people have a need to categorize, and they want to put you in one box. Two messes up the system, allowing for too many variables. But that's just the Set Theory nerd in me talking....
