I LOVE Alpha Men…

Yessss I do!!! Love ’em!! Love ’em!! LOVE! THEM! Alpha men know how to take charge of a situation and get things done! They are strong, independent, confident, in yo face, like it or leave it kinda men. 😉

Without a doubt I have had my fair share of encounters with such males. Those experiences were both thrilling and terrifying at times. Don’t judge me! LOL

This photo of Coco Crisp and James Shields reminded me of one such Alpha Man and several of the stories he has shared with me over the years. Like the time he was a FedEx delivery guy and got into a fist-a-cuffs with the Coors delivery man behind the Kroger grocery store. Or the time a car full of Latino brothers cut him off causing him to run off the road; when he recovered he caught up with the offending vehicle, pulled the driver out and commenced to open a can of “whoop-ass”. Then there was the time his “20 something” nephew did/said something disrespectful to him and he got him in line, in the backyard wearing a wife-beater and Timbs…in the rain. Oddly enough, I always felt safe with this man whenever I was in his presence and children in need turns this “Johnny Bad Ass” into a marshmallow puff. Don’t judge him either. LOL

Not all Alpha men are prone to what you may consider “violent tendencies”. Nope. Not at all.  But why am I drawn to the top dawgs? The alpha dog? Could it be I have an “alpha” personality also and in order for a man to be able to “handle” me, he must also share that same trait?

What about you? Are you drawn to the “alpha” traits in the opposite sex? Or, are you prone to attract and be attracted to those more submissive/passive individuals?

Teacher Loses His Cool

Travis Heckstall, a former Clayton County teacher, has been charged with making terroristic threats against a student and his family. The former science teacher was pushed to the edge of sanity and apparently jumped. In an effort to keep control of his class after he was threatened by students, Mr. Heckstall issued a few threats of his own. He allegedly cursed, spat, threw chairs, threatened to “rip a student’s eyeballs out” and to kill the student’s family.

Read the story HERE.

According to family and friends, specifically Mr Heckstall’s father Joe Heckstall (a Georgia state representative), this was not characteristic of his son. If we are to believe the elder Hesckstall, Travis Heckstall has been threatened before and brought his concerns of students’ behavior to the administration only to be told to “deal with it”. I am inclined to believe it.

We have all heard the trouble teachers have with unruly students and lack of support from administration. School systems are fearful of lawsuits so they tie the teachers’ hands leaving them with little to no recourse to reasonably discipline the demon seeds they’ve be charged to teach. And guess what? The little darling demon seeds “know” this and they dayum near have free reign to intimidate and antagonize instructors without any real consequences. The patients are running the asylum! I am surprised more teachers haven’t cracked and gone off the deep end.

This doesn’t excuse Mr. Heckstall’s behavior but I can certainly understand. Teachers have my utmost respect because this is NOT a job I could do. I would be facing a long stint in the state pen for beating one of those Devil’s spawn to the white meat. NO DOUBT!

Old School Friday – 14

We love themes for O.S.F. and this week’s theme is “another sad love song“.

I love this artist but I can only listen for so long because it makes me…uhm, you guessed it…SAD!

Is It A Crime

Because I just can’t leave you feeling sad and hopeless….

X-Men Trifecta

What is up with the ex-lovers and ex-boyfriends calling? Two last week and one this week. My intention was not to give this more attention than it deserved but now I’m beginning to wonder…am I unconsciously emitting pheromones that are attracting past loves?

It started with a call from M2 ten days ago. Truthfully, I almost fell off my chair when the phone rang because I had not heard from him in over 7 months. After 6 years of going back & forth, being off & on, and not getting what I needed, I finally cut not only communication ties but heart ties as well. You could say I had an epiphany of sorts. The conversation was mostly catching up on what had been going on in each others lives and lasted about 15 minutes. I ended the conversation with an excuse of having to finish some things before heading out for the evening – it was important for me to remain in control of how and when the conversation ended. 😉

A few days later, MG calls. Although things ended between us over 7 years ago we occasionally keep in touch. Since he’s in another state this sporadic communication has never been an issue for me. This conversation started differently. After our “hello’s” and “how you doing’s”, MG’s first question is “Do you have a man?”. Next question, “Are you seeing anyone?”.

He proceeds to lay out his case by telling me he’s doing really well now and wants a “real woman” in his life.

Hmmm, really?

He continues with how he now has something more to bring to the table than just being a “good guy”.

Hmmm, really? More than your 3 kids, 3 baby mamas, and some good d**K?  

His business is doing well, his credit is good and he’s taking a gamble on several other ventures that have good odds of paying off.

Nah, bruh-man…I’ll pass. You know how it is…Once bitten, twice shy. So why is he blowing up my phone er’dayum-day? 😐

Rounding out this X-Men Trifecta is MP. He called and left a voice-mail just this morning. We’ve known each other since we were 14 years old and broke up over 16 years ago. This was the MOST dysfunctional relationship I have had in my life. I mentioned it in my Valentine’s Day post. Every woman I’m sure has one like this in her life. You know the one that tells you if you’re not married by a certain age, he’s going to be your husband? Maaaan, hell would have to freeze over a dozen times before that ever happened!!! There is a very good reason, in fact, many many reasons why you are an X!! Needless to say, I will not be returning the call!

I have moved on from all of these men and can say with all certainty that NOTHING, NADA, would ever happen again between me and either of them. :mumbles:  Well…with one exception……maybe. 😉 But he would have to dayum near walk on water before I let down that wall. And let’s face it, the last man to walk on water was Jesus. LOL!!

So why do men do this? Why can’t y’all get that shit right the first time? This isn’t golf!!! You can’t call a Mulligan dummy!!! There are NO DO OVERS, especially where my heart is involved.

A Week In My Life

I’ve been slack in posting this week, I know. It’s been a good week and the holiday weekend was niiiice but I just have not wanted to write anything. I have realized that I need to stop drinking or drink more because 2 Cosmopolitans & 1 Goose n Juice had me wobbly and weak in the knees (or maybe it was the company I was keeping). 😉

I did receive phone calls from two X’s (ex-boyfriend & and an ex-homey/lover/friend)…that’s a post by itself, believe me. It would appear that both have been missing the sweetness that is Chocl8t, but considering all this amounts to is more of the same old bullshyt, I’ll just let it ride for now. They do have interesting timing though.

So with nothing in the news that moved me nor pissed me off more than usual, I’ve been quiet. Maybe, next week will be different. We shall see. Until then…have a great weekend! 😀
