RANT continued. “Exorcising the Ex”, trapped in the closet part#2

Here we are again and I bet everyone who read has there own outcome of the first half of my little story in their head. Now just a little recap, last time I told decent part of my little story and presented my first four rules. If you remember anything at all remember the rules. Rule 1: NEVER DATE A CO-WORKER. Easy enough but soooo many people make this little mistake. Rule 2: When a grown man over 25 still lives at home there is a serious problem. Now there are reasons and circumstances that anyone would understand about still living at home, safety, the economy, job loss and I totally get that it becomes an only option BUT rule 3 states, now if a man is fully capable to get up and get out and doesn’t, that is a sign of “Over-Babied Syndrome”.  There is a huge difference between a man living at home because he has to, to a man who won’t leave home. Then there is my favorite rule so far rule 4: it’s not about need it’s about want. So simple, I wish more men and frankly more women understood this concept. So now to finish the story, how exactly did we end our relationship? Slowly and painfully and in more ways then one, is how I would some it up. One day he just came home and told me that it was my fault, to pack and go. Fine by me, I wasted no time and blaming me that was totally fine. To be honest I was waiting for him to give me an easy way out. Now I had no trouble with this until a little while after I found out that the night we had it out he walked out the door to some chick that was waiting for him downstairs. The verdict is out on weather he was already cheating or not is still out. This was not just any chick but a girl I despise for more than one reason. What makes this better is that later he had the nerve to tell me that he did this out of spite. Here comes rule 5, avoid Mister Spiteful. Any man who would bluntly admit something like this is just a little emotionally detached and that’s not the man to spend the rest of your life with, the type of man to avoid. Now I know high school girls are like this but I did not know that 28 year old men were to. Don’t worry I get to laugh in the end at this though. SO here I am with a brand new car (in both are names) back at home and pissed off. So I sold the car walked away with a couple grand and started living again. Where is he a year later, he’s calling me telling me he has an STD, even more debt and a 19 year old baby mama….Really? What did we just learn?? We just learned rule 6, have faith in karma. Many don’t believe in it but if this isn’t pure proof I just don’t know what is. Some day when you least expect it, it will spring into action and if your the victim well I hope you paid it forward. Now all of this is enough to make me shake my head now. As you can imagine at the time I was heart broken, pissed and confused. Now I am perfectly content with this as a part of my past. I decided early I was not going to be that broken girl. SO here is rule: 7 let it go. There will come a point that enough is enough and that’s good because you will be able to. When you stop carrying that weight all will be right with the world. So to this day I get a phone call from him every now and then and believe me this is just the Sunday school version of my story. Don’t get me wrong I don’t wish bad on anyone but I know he’s miserable. Rule:8/9 move up and move on. Find a new one. It will be someone who will make you happy. They say if you stop looking for it, it will find you. So in the end what matters is how you end up in the end, and I ended up just fine. Its something to ponder when you end your next relationship.

RANT!!! Exorcising the ex, trapped in the closet part1!

Now to start this weeks rant I want to say that this is not going to be about some drug addicted celeb or sex seeking (and still starved) politician. No ladies and gents, this is coming from the heart. It’s coming from a deep and somewhat sad place that has gone unnoticed for too long, and it’s time to unload and put it out there. Now I don’t know about most women, but this idea came from a self-help book I found lying around the house called "Exorcising your Ex". Don’t ask me how or why it’s there (if you know anything about me you would be able to guess), so I decided to put my own little self help guide out into the void. So, to start with a little background, I will offer my key insight and knowledge ending with a unique haha and credible set of rules. Now, 3 years ago I started dating this "man" I met at work. How you find “love” sweating, running around a nursing home I’ll never really understand: a bad way to start. So, with this come Charlotte’s rules to survival. The number 1 rule: NEVER under any circumstances date someone you work with!! I don’t care how starved for affection, lonely or freaky you feel, It is guaranteed to come around and bite you in the ass. So after the typical wine and dine dating thing, it actually got serious. At the time, I was living with a girlfriend and when he offered up for me to move in with him, I thought about all that rent money I could save. SCORE!! Although I was sadly disappointed when he told me we would be living with his parents. I should have ran for the hills but that’s not in my nature. Insert rule number 2: When a grown man over 25 still lives at home there is a serious problem especially when he was making $30 an hour. You know when people say you don’t really know what a person is like until you live with them, well that is very true. In the following months I found out about his inability to cut the cord, drug problem and how many thousands of dollars in debt he was. Really? What the hell was I doing??? I should have been gone like the crack head who stole your shoes. Sadly, I stayed pulling every tooth in his mouth until I finally got him to move his bum ass out of his mother’s house. Now after months of trying to move out, me, being the “pusher”, striving for more, I thought our own place would help the situation I found myself in. This leads to rule 3: now if a man is fully capable to get up and get out and doesn’t, that is a sign of
“Over-Babied Syndrome”. RUN! A Moms responsibility ends at 18, not 30. Anything after 18 is strictly out the goodness of the heart. I’m a dumbass. So, finally success. We moved into apartment number 1. This led to the longest most resentful, hateful and boring year of my life. Don’t be mad at me, I can work 30 hours a week, pay my bills and have off days. I do just fine, it was him who had to bust ass to pay back visa. This showed me just how selfish he really was. Ladies, to me this is the most important rule of all. Rule 4: it’s not about need it[s about want! I don’t need you to do anything; I can do perfectly well on my own and not have my soul sucked from my body. This is were want ended as well. If anything, he needed me to make sure his shit was done. So after all this ask me what happened in the end. That’s just it, it ended and not very nicely. Now I’ll save the rest of the story and the last 5 rules for next week but ponder just for a moment, let your imagination run.

RANT! Tracy Morgan stand up gone wrong.

  So today I want to take time out to talk about Tracy Morgan, you might remember him from 30Rock, he was also good in “Death at a Funeral”? Tracy I loved you and your Erykah Badu remix of “Call on Tyrone” BUT, I have to say this time it’s too much. Listen you stepped up to the plate and you swung and missed with this one. In Tennessee last Friday on stage during a stand up performance he pulled out the guns directing them at gays only drop the N bomb while doing it. Audience members started walking out in protest while many cheered him on. The next day Kevin Rogers, a beloved fan had something to say about his rant and low and behold did it via facebook. And yet another hot controversy thanks to the FB. I mean you say sorry and that you’re not hateful. Who are you trying to convince?  It’s not ok, I mean what were you thinking standing there in the spot light in front of all those people who paid to see you?? Do you not hear the what coming out of your mouth?? Of course people got up and walked out, not everyone wants to hear that bullshit. I would have left to. It’s wrong, it just feels wrong. Now you have joined the list of ridiculous celebs such as Mel Gibson. Nobody gives a shit what Mel has to say anymore did no one learn anything? Well, other than a good way to lose fan base. Nothing opens the controversy flood gate like goin off at the mouth on a homophobic rant. NOT COOL man. Hell you deserve G.L.A.A.D banging at your door. Don’t be afraid, let them in cause its to late to go back now!! Its 2011, equal opportunities so G.L.A.A.D came up with a semi solution asking him to participate in support groups for families who have lost loved ones to anti-gay violence. You better attend every support group they ask you to, you might learn something sir. Words are powerful and words of advice, don’t throw stones. Good luck!

Now come on Congressman Weiner!!!

Now to start things off, I have to say that I've never really liked political gossip. I never truly wanted to hear about the people we put in power, spending our tax dollars and doing things that are "unbecoming" of their position of power. However in light of Congressman Anthony Weiner, my attitude has forever been changed. Now how is it possible for a grown man (at the ripe age of 46) just got married a year ago to Senator Hillary Clintons top aide think it's ok to take pictures of all the wrong areas and send them via twitter to a 21 year old college student?! Ms. Gennette Cordova was the lucky girl to receive that picture and started this whole thing. It sucks that there’s a delay upon deleting because 10 seconds is plenty of time for the world to see the lovely gray shorts.... that I think was a stuffed cause there’s just no way. Disgracing himself, good way to go. He’s too liberal for my taste. Now as the average person my logic tells me that this is wrong and anyone in his position would avoid these types of controversial scandals like pickin up women half his age via twitter .... They say he was reaching out to these women....and there is a total of six different women on not just twitter, but facebook as well. Ms. Meagan Broussard wants her 15 minutes of fame too. She got you sir.  Wooow Weiner, sucks that they all decided to come forward to put you out there like that, kinda perverted, and your poor wife. I believe you when you said your wife is "remarkable"..shit if I was her (knocked up or not) .. I would have literally written my own divorce papers up, skipped the lawyer and kicked you to the curb. She doesn’t need you , she’s got Hillary Clinton. It's not like she needs to embarrass you more cause you do that plenty on your own. Sorry but I don’t feel bad for you crying up there at the podium. Not like I need to say it, but your better getting out now while the gettings good . “The democrats are coming ,the democrats are coming.”
