Expiration Dates

Everything HAS an expiration date. Milk lasts for about a week and a half while the organic milk can lasts for a two months or so! (I'm not sure the EXACT amount..all I know is that it's surprisingly LONGER than normal milk.) Mascara has a six month lifespan while the majority of makeup products last for a good 24 months! (But you should toss it out after a while because of all that buggies that start growing on them after a while!)

Heck! WE (humans that is) even have expiration dates. It's just that we call it something else....DEATH! Some of us expire later than others because we made sure to take extra good care of ourselves so that are innards didn't rot. Others of us, no matter how hard we try, our innards will rot regardless! =(

So why am I writing about expiration dates? Is it because I found some old cheese in the back of the fridge? (No..but I'm sure there's some yogurt back there that I need to toss!) Is it because I wanted to use the words rot and innards for no apparent reason? (Maybe...but that's another issue in and of itself! hehe) It's actually because of Montel...Williams, not Jordan!

I was watching Montel (or however it's spelled) the other afternoon and he had psychic Sylvia Browne on (who I think is totally awesome..especially if she really is for real!) and they spoke to a lady who apparently had REALLY bad luck with men...like I'm talking about chillin' with the FELONS! EEK! Sylvia told her that she would meet Mr. Right in 6 years. haha! Craziness! But anyways, the point is Montel said that EVERY person has an expiration date. When they're times up, let them go!

So here I ask, do all relationships REALLY have expiration dates?

It's obvious! YES! We just don't realize it or want to acknowledge it. I mean, it's a bit difficult to think "we're going to only be together for the one week, six months, two years, a decade, a quarter century, etc and it'll be over!" It's almost as bad to think friendships are like that but I KNOW that SOME friendships are TIMED because they serve a purpose! Relationships must be the same way.

I think if I went into (almost) everyone potential relationship with the idea that there is an expiration date (30 minutes, 2 days, 1 week, a month, etc,) it would make the whole dating process easier for me!

Maybe I should just take a chill pill! That could make things a lot easier!! =)

I'm Not Ready

So I came to the realization the other day that I'm not ready to let someone into my life. I've come to realize that it's going to take a VERY SPECIAL person to come into my life and convince me that it's worth taking the chance.

What brought me to this realization??

I was talking to one of my former students the other day. He usually calls me every one and a while to update me with what's going on at school, his life, whatever. While we were talking, various subjects came up. Somehow the topic switched to relationships and I ended up talking about Doug. It was here that it all came full circle to explain the last three years of my life.

So lets rewind back to about April 2004. I was graduating in a month and things with Doug were awesome. We'd been talking more regularly and hanging out every once and a while (and it wasn't just going downtown!) He was being more open to me and telling me more things, making me feel a little bit more part of his life. We definitely were NOT dating but sometimes, in the back of my mind, I wondered if this is what it was like for busy professionals to date! There was a drunken Doug night where we had this LONG conversation online. He was trying to get me to be impulsive the night before my TeXeS exam. "Let's fly to Vegas!" Crazy drunk ass! But during that night, he asked me to stay in Austin, claiming that he would take care of me since I offered him the excuse that in Houston, I would be more financially stable. It was the weirdest thing in the world for me. He wanted me to stay but would probably NEVER tell me in a SOBER state of mind!

In retrospect, I realized that I would have stayed for him if he had asked me. If he had just told me to stay to see what the possibilities of US could be, I would have! Can you believe that? I would have changed my ENTIRE LIFE to be with a man who had NEVER told me he LIKED me, CARED about me, ANYTHING!!! I would have done it just to EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES!! Crazy huh? (I was definitely more of a risk-taker back then when it came to matters of the heart! *sigh*) But then again, he never asked me and I never stayed.

I think it's THIS realization that has scared me! I would have done so much for a guy who never told me how he felt. Granted I always ASSUMED something because of his actions but ASSUMPTIONS get you NOWHERE!

*SIGH* What would my life have looked like if he had retrieved his balls and manned up!! Would I be married with a kid on the way? (hahaha..no kid yet I would hope but who knows! But DAMN, it would have been a BEAUTIFUL baby!) WHO KNOWS! Or maybe things wouldn't have worked out but I would have met Mr. Wonderful after him. I don't know.

All I know is that the next guy has some work to do.

Overanalyzation - an ally or a foe!

so i spent saturday night attempting to figure out a series of text messages from a XY. in my slightly buzzed to drunken stupor, i entered a hazy confused state of "what is he trying to say?"

i entered a series of questions of "why did he tell me that?, why doesn't he just call me? what is he trying to say? what the hell...? did i really NEED to know all of that?"

haha...im sure my series of questions make it sound a lot worse but it really wasnt that bad.

here are our texts

him: So what are you getting yourself into this weekend?
me: not much just hanging out tonite and then time with the fam how about you?
him: On call, so sitting shirtless on my balcony eating chili and hoping the pager stays quiet. You know, boring stuff. Chili's good, though. ;)
me: on call? since i never asked you and what better time than now what do you do that youre stuck pager side on your balcony?

NO RESPONSE *a little later...*

me: so pager quiet or does someone need your professional assistance? :)
him: Eerily so. Worst part about that is knowing how irresponsible i could have been and it wouldn't have mattered. ;)
me: night is still young dear *insert name* and so are you! time to have fun until they need ya :)
him: Still, got to love your tenacity, hip-hop. :D Catch up with you later!
me: its the weekend and ya gotta have fun and im good and buzzed! lol have a good night and lets do something soon :)


soo i tend to overanalyze. i really thought he was telling me too much info with the whole shirtless bit but i guess that's him flirting over text...lol! who knowS! i let a friend check out the conversation and apparently he said i seemed to be way obvious throughout the conversation about wanting to hang out....i didnt think it was that bad...maybe im wrong! i dunno...

i'm starting to think i'm just gonna take the words for what it's worth..nothing more than that! i just hate the whole chasing thing but if that's the game, i guess i'll play it!

i'm starting to think that me overanalyzing things is going to be my downfall! booo!!

If Fidelity Over-rated?

a friend and i were talking this weekend when she told me about how she 'cheated' on her bf for the first time in over a year and a half's time. (nothing over the top...just made out with some guy...i found out during our conversation that apparently it wasnt the first time) prior to her current bf, according to her, she cheated all the time. . .having a new booty call person every three months for the latter three years of her six year relationship.

our conversation got me really thinking though...is fidelity over-rated?

i've honestly never cheated...well at least i dont think i have! there is the infamous scandal from my junior year in high school when i had a bf and had feelings for another. i started to hang out with the other guy a lot but nothing ever happened until i broke up with my then bf. soo high school but it was drama nonetheless! one of my then friends, also a friend of my then bf, had slapped a scarlet A on me when all that happened. to be honest, i dont think she ever got over it...maybe thats why i didnt get invited to her wedding but he did. im glad to say that he and i are friends today though! =)

i guess i never had the desire to cheat as i've gotten older. i figure, if im not happy, it's over..right? why sit there and hurt not only you but the other party by cheating. it was interesting though as i listened to my friend explain why she did it. essentially, it was a confidence builder. here there was a guy who found her sexy and attractive and was in awe with her and wanted to be there with her. it was new, novel, it made her feel special. it's sad to think that sometimes as young (adult) women, we seek another's (specifically a man's) validation to make us feel special.

i can't sit there and make it look like i wouldnt have been the same in her situation. i know i like attention. i like to be told all those things too but i'm not sure if i would ever jeopardize a relationship, especially if it was a serious relationship, just to feel special for a moment!

MEN...remind your gfs, wives, significant others that they're special to you. no matter how long its been: 1 month, 1 year, 10 years, 25 years, 50 years! we like to be told...it brings us a nice tingley feeling! WOMEN! do the same thing...i'm sure the men like it too...

in the end, it makes me wonder...is it worth it?

i really do believe that we're monogamous creatures, that humans are capable of finding one person to love and be with for the rest of their lives. the question is if you can find them on the first, second, tenth, hundredth try.

love is a wonderful thing. it's just DIFFICULT...difficult to find, to keep and to maintain. the lucky few though...they make it look easy...i'm envious of those people.

maybe one day, i'll be envious of myself...
