Micheal Jackson is dead

 

Farah Fawcett is dead.

In their own ways they were great people. It’s a little shocking!

 

RIP

 

Beng Beng Beng

So exciting

 

L.O.V.E

If he don’t love you by now he never will….

At least that’s how the song goes. Whether it is true or not is another story all together.

So how long should it take someone to fall in love?? Is there a time schedule? By time schedule I mean if you haven’t fallen in love 6- 8 months later should you still be toiling in the so called relationship? Is falling in love so crucial? If you looking for marriage in the next year then yes I get that it is important, ASAP. In the event that you aren’t looking for marriage in the next year what is the schedule? is falling in love at first sight a true phenomenon ?I’ll tell you now that I don’t believe in it.

I believe in Lust at first sight though. Case in point Italian and I. Enough said.

I’m not saying that I don’t believe in falling in love eventually. I have fallen in love before and we all know what happened there. I’m over the whole thing, but I am disillusioned by Love. I never considered myself as one who dilly dally’s in meaningless relationships. Am I wrong? Of Course Not, There is always an end goal, and the moment I lose the end goal. Snip snip, faster than you said Jack be Nimble. I was a nice little ice box. This past year I’ve hardly been myself in relationship speak. There was chap! Major disaster and I knew it from the onset but there I was trying to believe( if you aren’t familiar with in chap in the search section to read all about it). Let’s not talk about Italian , I’m not trying to jinx it, whatever it may be. But I’m all soft now, putting up with shit I wouldn’t have before, giving people chances when I know it isn’t ever going to work.

Regardless my illusions and delusions on love , I know that I can always rely on Toni Braxton, Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey- to make me feel both better and worse (depending on the song of course) about the whole love thang and that I think is a whole lot better than nothing.

 

Case of the Ex

Italian and I went out for last night. I was excited. It was a restaurant that I hadn’t been to before and I was so even more excited when I ordered my strawberry lemonade martini. Heaven! Heaven for me includes strawberries and lots of them….

Anyway I order my drink and then he gets this weird look on his face. I ask him whats wrong and he cringes like he is pain and as if he would rather I did not know. But my persuasive powers conquer.

Italian: that’s my ex girlfriend (quickly proceeds to lift the menu and cover his face with it)

SN: (looking around vigorously… looking to see who this woman is. I see her and in my head my jaw drops and hits the ground. Hella fucking pretty)

Italian: We should go.

SN: no we don’t have to leave. You’ll be fine she probably didn’t see you.

Italian: your right maybe she didn’t

He turns to look in her direction and all. And he proceeds to do this every 3 min or so, while changing his mind as to whether or not we should leave.

5 min later our drinks arrive.

Italian: we should leave.

SN: no I don’t want to leave ( im visibly upset now coz im like dude stop looking in her direction WTF)

Italian; yeah lets just order food

SN: ok ( at this time im just like boiling because I’m like make up ur mind dummy)

Italian: uh no lets go. No no ur right lets just stay I cant run away like u said..

At this point im fed up so I just down my drink and stand up, grab the waiter and say ” check please.”

About the ex girl- black, average body, chubby upper arms, thighs, definitely not fat but not skinny either, very nice hair, very pretty facially. Heard her talking to her friend and she sounded a little bossy.

Then his friend walks in and is informed that Italians ex was there, and he agrees that we should leave. And leave we did!

 

I was not mad, I was not upset but I wasn’t happy. Why the fuck are we running away from this bitch. Granted she made many attempts to ruin Italians life when they were dating/ breaking up. But that was more than 3 years ago- or so he says. And apparently they aren’t seeing my reasoning as to why we shouldn’t have left the freaking restaurant. I understand that it might have been uncomfy, but it only gets uncomfy when you let it be uncomfy also no one said that you have to talk to the woman let alone look at her. And just because you are eating in the same restaurant doesn’t mean that she is in your life.

I talked to my pal about this and he says that I shouldn’t bring it up again unless he brings it up. But really im dying inside I want to talk to him about this. I can’t be running away from some woman from ur past. Really I can’t. and besides it looks as though this woman still has some power over him, I do not like that one single bit. And who would. Needless to say he was denied shag last night. He wasn’t too happy about that , but after all that I was like bilaz I’m not in the mood and nothing will put me in the mood.

 

Wax

 

I usually get my eyebrows waxed every once a month. So my usually place costs 20 but there is a recession so I was like uh things are thick. Let me go to a cheaper place for half the price. And its just a touch up so there isn’t much to it.

So after doing some little shopping I find a place with a big smile on my face I walk into the store and ask for a brow wax. J I’m told to wait for 5 min. It turns out to be more like 8 but I’m like oh ok.

Shortly we walk into the “spa” room. Yeah I was a little grossed out the towels that I was to lie on didn’t look so clean and the Chinese lady kept looking at me funny.

As soon as I lie down the convo starts

Chinese Lady: You say you want brow wax

SN : Yes.

Chinese Lady: Just brow wax

SN: (rolling my eyes)

Chinese lady: lip wax?

SN: No

Chinese Lady: U want me to do a lip wax?

SN: NO ( and I close my eyes)

 

1. I don’t have no hair on my lip
   
2. I ain’t a hairy woman either.
   
3. I checked and don’t have hair on my lip.
   
4. Now I know why people get all sorts of physical appearance deficiencies you go to a spa/ salon and people start telling you to improve your body when there is nothing wrong with it.
   

Needless to say I wasn’t too happy with my brow wax either.. so much for trying to get a deal.
