When Love Turns Out to be a Liar : Is there really a real "New Moon"?

My son came home from the movie “New Moon” after escorting his girlfriend to the “event” of the opening day of the film. I asked him how he liked it and he said “okay” and poured himself a glass of milk. I did not feel like I should continue the conversation because I know exactly what he was thinking. A movie theatre full of young women mesmerized by the thought of “love eternal” the one that lasts forever, the only one most of them know, the love of their parents and other closely relatives. My son knows this “unconditional love” the one that really never dies because we will always be connected.

I suppose this connectedness keeps the fights to a minimal because we know we will always end up in the same “family” regardless how right our position is on any situation. We don’t need to lie about love.

Love with the general population takes an entire different set of rules. When someone tells you that they “love you” what they really mean most of the time is that “I would really love to have sex with you” which is not that forever love that we envision as the “utopia” of all loves. The mismatched signals of “is this real” when you are trying to figure out the signals, much like a base coach in baseball. How many balls and how many strikes before you walk?

My count has been full so many times I don’t have enough fingers and toes to keep track anymore. It’s not that there is a misunderstanding at all; it is that they are liars. Selfish and self centered and think it is their duty to lie to me and mislead me and I am only stupid for believing them.

Here comes the “catch-22” of the dilemma because I do not trust and become this hardened bitch, or I trust and am some stupid idiot that should know better. Either way I lose or the men keep on lying.

The main theme that I can see between all of these men that I have had problems with all lied to me and when I asked them why they did it they all had the same explanation “I wanted you, what did you expect me to do?”

Can you imagine an advertising or business lying to you because they wanted your business or cheating on safety measures because they just wanted your money? They would land their ass right in court.

What these men do not calculate in their methodology is that the exact lies they are telling you are the exact same one some other guy will be telling their daughters one day. You get to sit at a holiday table sitting across from the guy that lied to marry into your money and sleep with your daughter. Better yet, because you are a liar, they think its normal and will be less likely to even detect it, because after all, all men lie. They learned it from their fathers.

What goes around comes around. Karma? Why does it have to even get this far? The biggest liars and hustlers are lying to women and spreading their DNA through out the world and the men enable them to do by their agreement that its fine to lie.

I do not care who is the liar, man or woman. When you tell a lie you steal a persons choice and perhaps their entire life changes on that one lie.

You are a criminal.

I am opening a Plumbing School

Thinking about starting a new future?
Sending your kid to college?
Do you want to go to college?
Harvard? Stanford? Yale?
What are you crazy?
You don't think very highly of your talents do you?


Why am I sitting here killing myself over an algebra book when I can be learning how to put some pipes together and make $250,000 dollars a year!
Wait till the interns hear about this, they will be dropping out of medical school like flies in a raid tornado!
No malpractice. Doubletime for afterhours, Sundays and Holidays?
Oh, and I forgot I have half the country trying to cut my taxes because it is such a burden too?
Remember, no one had any sympathy for what the doctors were netting after they paid their "malpractice tax" to the insurance companies.
No one has any sympathy for the teachers that pay thousands of dollars out of their pockets for school supplies, yet the plumbers have won our hearts?


After much thinking I think that I will just open a plumbing school, submit your applications now, this is a great deal for all that seek opportunity!


I will include all those advanced classes that are popular with plumbers:
101 How to work slowly, remember you get paid by the hour
231 (with lab) Advanced scamming with live clients
400 Toilets are made to clog (how to repeat clogs for repeat calls)

Getting Pregnant on Purpose?

If you have ever driven in a car during a long trip with kids in the backseat eventually the fighting starts. "She started it" as the other cries "stop looking at me, mom she is looking at me." So, you ask the other one to stop looking and the next screaming you hear is "she pointed at me!" They point fingers back and forth and finally you have to tell them to sit as close to the opposite doors as they can, hands folded and look out the window with mouths closed.
I recently was reading a blog when someone leaves this message about how some women get pregnant on purpose to trap the man.
I equate this to any living person that is stupid enough to show up to a judge after being cited for accident involving alcohol. Did the alcohol trap you?
Nobody traps anybody, but you can get caught up in a web of lies. Life is sexually transmitted. All birth control has a failure rate, even in rare cases of sterilization. Where is the surprise when that happens? Maybe we assume that everyone is a mind reader? I think if someone gets a disease from a person and that person did not disclose it, than we have someone that should be hung from the highest tree. How dare anyone ruin someone's health over their own greedy sexual urges, however we can assume that most men and women that are walking around have functioning eggs and sperm that it is their biological duty to find each other. You have agreed to a possible pregnancy when you combine body parts, end of story. You knew you were mixing gasoline with matches from the start, no one did this to you.
It is the same childish phrase about who started it when it really doesn't matter when you both technically agreed to a possible pregnancy when you combine body parts, no matter what the verbal story was, biology does not have ears. Maybe blame the sperm, afterall they always did like her best?
What is even worse is the child that was born out of the lethal "trap of the vagina" gets to live with two parents that really did not want to be in the business of parenting. I understand that people feel like they "need" this and this is nature, but let me remind you that "anger" is also a natural feeling but you can't go bashing peoples heads in because "nature calls." We have brains and two hands (animals have paws) and really any urge you have can be taken care of without reckless disregard for biology. Even when driving a car, you maybe traveling in one that swerves a little to the left, but you should know how to operate the vehicle to protect yourself and others.
Two things that really irk me is that women jump on other women for this and that both sexes do not take responsibility for irresponsible use of their body parts. I know some of you will tell me that you can't stop people from having irresponsible sex which is probably addictive from what I have seen in peoples behavior. Is it any different from a drug?
Meanwhile back at home I think we need to stop pointing fingers and no matter what these two active set of genitals need to be parents because they only have this kid for 18 years and if they do a crappy job, we get them for the next 60 in jail.

So, everyone wants to be connected to a "winner?"

So we have an American that wins 8 gold medals. This fact is not the issue that I blog for today. I blog for the ridiculous reason that because he won these medals analysts are now saying that his worth throughout his career starts now at 100 million dollars, currently and before he entered the competition he was making only 5 million a year.
Why? Endorsements.
You have to be kidding me? He endorses Visa, Mastercard, Speedo and somehow it is a better product? You can associate yourself with greatness and do just like "the stars" do. Why I am on this subject let me explain that actors are professional pretenders, they pretend to be another person. Somehow when people spend a few hours watching a movie or hours watching them in your house it is assumed they have been an actual houseguest and would never lie to you..........you have a delusion of relationship and so now a friend is hooking you up with a product.........your friend would never lie. I laugh at the "Best Actor" awards, because really the best liar is winning. How can they distort the truth into a story and pretend? It is an illusion.
Who needs consumer reports when if Paris Hilton endorses it, then quality it must be.
Are we just a bunch of mindless "Monkey see, Monkey do?"

There is no such thing as a good "line"

I went into a restaurant tonight and asked for a table. The hostess replied that there would be a 30 minute wait. I turned to my party and asked them if they wanted to wait. They shrug their shoulders and act like they don’t have a choice in agreement to the conditions of dining.
We wait. I hate waiting. I hate waiting when I really do not have to wait.
After about 20 minutes they surrender a table and then we wait another 15 minutes for the waitress to come by and ask what we wanted to drink, another 10 minutes to order and then another 20 minutes for the food.
I hate waiting, especially when I am paying for it!
If I had not been with these particular dining pals, I would have walked out at the first hint of a wait.
Why?
Because they are busy. I will take less service and probably food quality too, while they improve their bottom line. More productivity for less labor costs. As soon as they tell me that there is going to be a wait, I know the entire place is backed up and overworked.

Lines at clubs? I would never. If there is a line at the door, there is a line at the bar and guess how long the line is on the way out (the bathroom?), no thank you!

Lines is grocery stores? Just say no! I have just left the merchandise and walked out, I am not doing it!

We all just line up and wait and wait like farm animals like it is some fraternity tradition and why? Because we let them and people just put up with it. It often reminds me of the photos of the bread lines in Russia. I promise you I will find a place without a line, I am just not going to take less, so you can have more for no other reason than you can under staff and cut corners.

In these times where competition is up, you would think they would at least offer more customer service than wanting me to understand that I have to take less, while paying the same prices.

They can manage these lines if they want to. Disneyland put in fast track because of the complaining about wait times. It was silly. Having people wait in line while they could just make a reservation and enjoy the park while waiting their turn.



So far I think the worst lines, worst than Disneyland is the TSA lines at the airport. That is a bunch of crap because they charge us a security fee to fund that and they know what the passenger load is and can staff for it.

What is the longest line you ever waited in?

electronic rehab

Electronic Rehab

My son is going to summer camp in about two weeks. We are running off to the store in about an hour to pick up some new jeans for him. He likes to walk on the back of the hem and it makes me crazy. It’s his business I suppose, but I don’t want those people at camp to think that I allow him to walk around like that; I tolerate it for casual purposes only!

This is a 10 day camp. No electronics allowed! At first I thought he would die when I told him that they will make him check his cell phone in and he will only be allowed to use it for 30 minutes a day. No internet, no television, no iPods………nada…. he is going to have to detox off of electronics. He is suppose to be there to be at camp not somewhere else.

I don’t even know what he looks like without ear buds on, so this is really going to be strange when I pick him up. I am hoping that I will recognize him without his electronic charge.

We were talking about it and I had to explain to him was “beepers” were and phone machines with tapes. We even googled 8 tracks and he was amazed! I told him that in the “olden days” we had to wait to get home and play back our messages.

Then I got to thinking about my electronic choke chain. I feel so disconnected when I am without my cell phone. In truth my cell phone disconnects me from my “now” and takes me to everyone else’s “now.” I am thinking that this is the greatest invention ever, and then I think about how the world survived quite well without them.

So, my dear friends, today I am only checking my cell phone for messages once a day. I am setting a certain hour to return calls for a one hour time frame for an entire month just to prove to my son that this can be done. This is sort of like shaving your head when your girlfriend gets cancer in support of her. I am detoxing from my cell phone. I am going to join my son in electronic rehab.

Leave a message after the beep………………….BEEP!

My son wants to shave his legs

It was 114 in my backyard the other day. Don’t pay attention to the number because it is”Dry Heat” so it doesn’t count. My son is wearing long pants and I ask him if he would be more comfortable if he changes into shorts. He says that he looks weird in shorts because you can see the hair on his legs. Duh? Did I miss something? Even babies have fine little hairs on their legs? Can you imagine them squealing about someone noticing?

He explains to me that all the kids shave their legs and he probably should too. My son will be 16 in two weeks. I think my mom told that I could not shave my legs till I was 16 but is there an age for boys? What did I just ask myself (smack), stop it! I almost followed “but all the kids are doing it” and understanding his situation and forgetting that it’s not my job to be his friend, I am his parent. He doesn’t have to like me right now, I have to teach him how to survive, how to look at a situation and “think” not follow. Use some reasoning skills. Halfway down the hallway, I took a U-turn and returned my shaver back to the shower.

I had to have a conversation about what he wants and is comfortable with and that is more important than making everyone else comfortable or fitting in. I understand you want to fit in, but you need to fit yourself first because you might need to find your way back home after you do all this following.

I seriously do not get young boys shaving their legs in middle and high school. I don’t get parents letting 12 year olds pierce their belly button either, call me old school. My thoughts on this is that the kids are spending more time paying attention to the other kids and what they are wearing and doing than real things like their families, education, themselves, their future………all their thoughts are paying attention to everyone else, it is like the embryonic stage of another “People Magazine” it trains their brain to look external instead of internal.

I know there are plenty of you out there that have had parental conflicts and parents that are having conflicts with their children over certain things, and I really don’t want to make a battle over this but I think if you do anything you better have a better reason for doing it than “everyone else does it” without a really good reason why this benefits you or life in general.

I am not going to be around forever and always and I just want him equipped with a brain that actually functions, I need to de-sheep his brain out of the following mode.

He decided not to shave his legs but wanted some hair wax so he can style his hair like Elvis Presley. It has brought back my faith that people do want to do better if someone will just show them the path which is hard to find because few people walk it and it is not worn out and obvious. You really have to want it.
