To Craig, F**K OFF!

“When you decide you want happiness look me up” – Craig

That is a snippet of a very short email from a man I have never met. I will get back to that momentarily.

Several days ago I tweeted that this online dating thing was no better than “offline“. That email offers some proof of that.

Upon embarking on this new adventure, I thought it would be fun. Since I am not looking for a husband to get married, I thought I would, at the very least, meet a couple of interesting people, go on a few dates and it would  be all good. The idea was to diversify my dating pool, as it were, because I don’t do the club scene.

I even entertained the idea of blogging about my experience because many of the profiles and pictures made me giggle and guffaw a few times. Truth is, I howled with laughter at some of them. However, I decided against it.

There would be nothing to gain from poking fun at another’s quest to find love and happiness. There are a multitude of lonely people out there looking for their “soul mates”. To them I bid a sincere, heartfelt God speed.

However….the misguided, arrogant douchebag that sent that message made me say, “Awe, fuck it!”

Let me give you a little background so you can put it in its proper context.

Why Is This News?

The title of this post should say it all. But just in case I have some short bus lurkers reading, I’ll explain. My regular readers are not mental midgets so this is not directed to the 5 of you. LOL

What is it about these trivial stories that make them so newsworthy that they are even mentioned on the evening news or on any of the MSM websites?

Sandra Bullock spotted without her wedding ring. HOLY SHIT BATMAN!!! Did she lose it? Or did she recently find out about her cheating husband’s tryst with several skanks? Aaarrooo…

Larry King’s wife’s hot sidepiece dick-on-the-side is running off at the mouth about his sexcapades with Mrs. King. Are we shocked she fooled around behind her husband’s back? Shit…have you seen Larry King? *Blech* Whatever happened to discretion? SMDH

Successful black women can’t find a man. *YAWWWN* If you follow my blog…you already know. ::rolls eyes::

Heather Locklear gets a ticket for hit and run. Uhmmm, was it person? A dog? Was she drunk off her ass? Is she currently on a TV show?  Pssshh…whatever.

There is a shortage of toilet paper. Oh shit!! Wait…yeah, that could be a big problem. ::adds TP to the grocery list::

And in other breaking  news…Chocl8t is still single, black, and SEXY AS HELL. (like you didn’t already know) 😉

Flying Solo

Being single and unattached, I have become accustomed to “flying solo“. I don’t always like it but it has become the reality of my life. I am not complaining – just stating a fact.

Trying new things alone is the worst for me only because I am shy and usually find it hard striking up conversations with strangers. Not to mention, new adventures are always fun to share with friends.

However, I have learned you can not always depend upon nor wait for friends to join you when embarking upon new adventures or even every day run-of-the-mill activities. I never want to wake up 10-20 years from now and have a bad case of the “if I would’ve, could’ve, should’ve(s)”.

That is why when Maxwell’s & Jill Scott’s concert tickets went on sale I bought my ticket the first day. Yes. I am going alone to a concert for the first time ever.

I am also planning my first tandem sky dive for May/June. I will be going it along for that also – well not really “alone” since it is a tandem jump, but you get the idea.

Today was no different when I set out to go cycling on the Silver Comet Trail.

One hour, a sore behind, two achy quads, and a head of “helmet hair” later, I can say I enjoyed my ride…so much so, I will be going again next weekend when I will purchase my new, slightly used, bicycle!

One is not always the loneliest number. 😉

Here’s to flying solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Church Suits

If you have ever attended a Black church anywhere in America, you have witnessed the fashion show of all fashion shows.

First Ladies, head ushers, Deaconess Board members, Elders, Evangelists, choir directors, and church mothers don their finest threads with matching bags and hats and come to the cathedral strutting like peacocks. Which is ironic since it is the male peacock that struts to attract the female peacock, but I digress.

Having grown up in the church, I am VERY familiar with the bedazzled suits/dresses with the accompanying ornate hats or “head dressings”. For as long as I can remember I wondered WHERE these women shopped for their gear. Well, over the weekend…I found it!!!

Oh, not that I wanted to patronize the establishment but rather view in amazement and plot its demise. The sobering reality that arson carries stiff prison sentences in Georgia is the only thing that keeps me from following through with my plans…but again….I digress.
