Really? Is That How You Feel???

MAN! Is it just me, or are people REALLY into their emotions lately? Maybe it's because of the season, you know political and fall seasons. This time of year our social networking sites are full of political rants a raves and people swearing they know the God honest truth about EACH candidate. THEN you have the fall, which in some states brings bleak skies and cold temperatures, therefore making people grumpy, rude and well.. just flat out BITCHY!



So Tell me how you really feel is my personal take on Facebook statuses that have to do with back stabbers and sneaky people. This seems to be filling up my news feed!! My thoughts on this is because people's true colors come out at this time of year! It's cold some people are lonely and start talking WAY more than they should and usually air out a few skeletons of theirs and their buddies. Soon all that comes BACK and SHABAM! DRAMA CENTER ALERT! Now you have people breaking up with their boyfriends and BFF's and You slept with Johnny yadda yadda yadda; UGH it's exhausting.

I would love it if Facebook could be a happy non judgmental place where people can actually come to talk and keep in touch. INSTEAD it's about liking "I LOVE BOOBIES" or "FREAKS ONLY" pages, talking about your co-worker and bosses, using ridiculous: "IHTSBSOABHCKMA" #hadenough instead of simply typing out : "I hate that slime bag son of a bitch, he can kiss my ass".. not everyone knows what each letter means

So tell me, WHY is it OK to air out all your business to the entire world, but yet act surprised when people are actually in it?

I'll tell you how I really feel so it doesn't seem like I'm picking on people:
and I apologize for anyone who would read this and think 100x more into each little word than it's supposed to be. I have plenty of people who read these blogs, and some of them actually think it's about them (DESPITE MY EXAMPLES THAT DON'T CONCERN NOR DESCRIBE THEM).. irritating...

So please by all means, tell me how you really feel; since reading it online is never enough.

The EX That Refuses to Stay That Way...

Girl: I thought we had something?

Boy: Yeah like months ago 

Girl: So are we officially done?

Boy: It's been almost 4 months

Girl: I still have faith in us

It happens to almost all of us who get into a relationship. We are happy seem to be unbreakable and start to make future plans. THEN out of no where and out of our control, there is always an EX Girlfriend/Boyfriend that hasn't given up hope. It starts off by he/she calling or texting  randomly just to say hi, check in, get an update. What happens when your ex finds out about your new beau? That one call or text turns into many more contact attempts, random bumping into each other which leads to the desperate outbursts of wanting them back!!!!!!

My ladies, ugh..... When we see our ex who treated us like a princess but we were being a spoiled brat and let him go. Say he is in shape, hanging with friends, happy and has a pretty new thing on his side.Wanna know what some women do in this case? Usually with the females in this role, they cry, try to bring up how you made them feel so good and what not, try to pry back into your families lives and start conversations with your friends. Trying every route to get back into your life some way or another. Then when you (the male) don't bite on that petty bull crap, what does she do? She turns around and starts saying how independent she is, she never needed you, you were holding her back, and now she happy with someone else. Really? Just two seconds ago you wanted his "Ego"* and now you're pulling a WEBBIE and miss I N D E P E N D E N T*?  Crazy!!!  

Now for our fellas who are wearing this shoe. You see your ex girl, she is happy, smiling that smile you used to put on her face. She is lighting up the room like never before, body is looking good because she didn't let herself go after you let her go and now she has a new man who is strikingly handsome, smart and everything you weren't. What do guys do in this situation? Well they aren't ALL as dramatic as the female route (but some are trust me..) instead they call and text cracking a joke or just saying what's up. Then those calls and texts start to become longer conversations. Guys have a slicker way of getting back into a females life, they have a certain swagg to it. Their patience really kicks in, soon they are in the friend zone and after awhile here they try to dominate as if they are Mufasa. Taking that role of friendship to a whole other level. When the female catches on she soon shuts him out and shows him the door. What happens after this? That female now becomes all kinds of bad names,  all of a sudden that guy now has plenty of women lined up, and it's nothing. Hmmm, now I'm a whore whose no good but yet you were JUST barking up my tree? Nice...

Some people just don't understand that relationships are meant for two! If it didn't work out with you and someone else in the beginning then hell it's not supposed to. Now it's hard to maintain a decent relationship because not only do people post it on Social Networking sites, it's so much easier to manipulate someone else. Draw them away from their current and have them be willing to do certain things. It's now broadcasted! By it I mean SEX! It's everywhere and so easy to get. It's a shame, the one who is worth the fight and scaring off exes will be the one you won't have to worry about. So stop rushing and be patient, he or she will come at the RIGHT time. For all that other drama, if your significant other wants to stray show them the door. 

* "Ego" meaning of the Ego used in Beyonce and Kanye West song. Webbie a  rapper has a hit single called  INDEPENDENT 

Examples used are from previous experience with my exes and watching how some of my friends have reacted with their exes. 

Don't Let Them Ruin Your Party

We all have those days when life is great, your job is running smooth, the fam bam is alright and your significant other is being perfectly amazing. THEN we run into that ONE person whose main purpose for the day is to be mean and an ass because they slept on the wrong side of the bed that morning.

So here you come, skipping into work saying hi, smiling, happy, you have that Friday feeling going on when SHA BAM! You're smacked in the face with that Debbie Downer co worker whose sitting at the table, playing words with friends, drinking coffee, and complaining about the sun being to bright. You try your best to stay positive and keep speaking highly and smiling, but he continues to make your day suck just because he wants to. Now that smiley party you had looks more like this ------------------------->

Being a sad pug is no fun at all! What happened to your party?? Don't let the others take that balloon blowing, helium sucking fun having feeling away!

 Here's what you do:

Tell them to talk to the hand, or you can do what I do, and pretend to listen and care but really I'm in my own world. If you haven't noticed,  it's a known fact that other people don't like to see others happy when they feel like shit. In some peoples mind the world does revolve around them, and when it doesn't they aren't so happy.  Life is to dang short to worry, stress, be sad, mad, angry whatever! Life is to short to be anything but appreciative and happy that you are alive. This is easier to say than to do. I have my times to where someone just pisses me off to the T and I want to do some really mean things! I sit and marinate on what I would like to do and say to this lovely individual, but then I quickly come to realize that their life probably sucks. Why else would someone want to poop on your parade? Happy people with something great going for them at the moment wont waste their time. BUT the ones who aren't in that position at that moment, will be more than happy to pop your balloon. 

So POO on you Party Poopers! I'd rather have a party by myself and be the happiest person ever than have a party and invite one lame that can ruin it. :) Smile 

Beautiful Alaska

See Alaska and I... we have this love hate type of relationship, winter time we seem to do nothing but fight and bicker but when the so sweet summer comes my way, I can't help but fall right back in love.  You see people complain about Alaska and say " isn't there snow 24/7?" "do you have a pet polar bear?"  OR now my recent favorite, "what's Sara Palin really like??"  People make me laugh with the things they really believe goes on here. So to answer these questions " no there is not snow 24/7" and "no I don't own a polar bear he was shot down for protecting our pet penguins" and "I have no idea how Sara Palin really is, never met her."

Many people from Alaska get irritated by the simple questions and I have to keep reminding people that I know and myself at times, don't blame them for what they know; it's not like  education on how Alaska really is, is being taught. I mean I've lived here all my life and in high school my senior year I had to take Alaska studies, and passed with flying colors!!!! (Found that class to be quite insulting)

Alaska has your winters, falls, springs, and summers that will melt your heart and make you  fall in love with the scenery. I love every other season and winters on occasion (mainly on Christmas and New Years Eve) :D
When I travel out of state and show my ID, people stare at it for a good minute or so. In my mind I'm preparing myself to hear whatever outlandish questions they may want to ask; 9 times out of 10 the questions make me giggle.

One time in Seattle aka my second home, this cab driver asked me "if there really are 30 days of night like the movie and do vampires really come out???" This cashier at Macy's asked me: "there really are black people in Alaska?" then as I walk into a bar with my lovely sister buy a drink the bar tender asks: "are you in witness protection? I mean why else would you be there?"

Sigh**** I love it all in all. The things others come up with are always fresh and new it makes me appreciate how I was brought up.

Anywho today will be reaching in the mid 70's and the sun is blazing outside, soon as it's time to get off work I will be MIA  getting lost in the AK weather with the bf. You guy have a fantastic weekend!!!!!

Reality TV... Where is the Reality?

Ah, soo from grease balls, glorifying teen pregnancy, giving lame celebrities a LAST CHANCE OF FAME while being on a rehab show to the dating shows, reality TV is nothing but scripted.

I don't watch reality TV shows a lot, I will admit I got sucked into Jersey Shore but only for the first season, Some times I watch Basketball Wives for the mere amusement of watching females argue about pointless crap and guess what NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN MARRIED TO BBALL PLAYERS!!! Because the real women who are married to the players are to busy keeping their private life separate. They should change the name to Basketball Exes; and Now Bristol Palin has a reality show. 

I won't watch this one at all, I didn't even bother to tune into the show the Palin family had in the first place. Now you may ask why? Your from Alaska Ebony why wont you watch them?!!??! Ummm because my life is not lame and never consisted of the Palin's in the first place to care about what they do outside of the government. I hardly cared when she was Governor in the first place, so to allow her to take up space in my DVR and consume my brain with accents and guns while making a fool of yourself by not even knowing the amendments..... no thank you... 

There are a lot of interesting people that I wouldn't mind watching on TV. My sister used to be hooked on Real World and Road Rules, now I believe she likes Big Brother ( I don't get that show). Me I would watch something that had to do more with music and real artists not wanna be's or people trying to come back. Show me something from the producers and song writers point of view, after all what is an artist without those people anyway. Perfect example of a good reality show TRUE LIFE on MTV. Keep reality TV just that a reality not fictional and more people might be prone to watch it; and for goodness sake bring back the real MTV or at least change the call letters to RTV (Reality TV) or BSTV ( I think you know what I mean by that). 

I Love You Too?

We all have (or at some time will) be in a relationship to where I love you is said. Whether it be in the stages of puppy love or full blow out grown up love. So when is the right time to say those three little words that make most of society cringe? I asked some people when is the right time to say I love you and here are the top three answers: Some people say when you been with someone for a while and get to know them, others say it's just when you have a feeling in your tummy (but I call those butterflies) and someone else said, I don't know man I guess you just know.

All three responses are not wrong because obviously that's how some people think. What do I think? Well I have NO IDEA when the "right" time is to say those little words. All I can say is, do it when you want too and not because someone else said it. WHICH brings me to the topic at hand.


DO you say I Love You because someone else said it? To my surprise a lot of people have or are saying it in these terms. I'm not going to lie, I am also guilty at that, saying I love you when someone else has said it because I feel obligated too! Not because I want too!! I'm a firm believer in the sole fact of not having to say I love you all the damn time to prove you love someone.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not a prude or anything I love Love! And I love the feeling of it and being held and all that gooshy crap. But I also like my space, at times not to be touched and kissed and yes I love not having to say I love you just because someone else says it.

But Ebony!! What if he or she gets mad because I didn't say it back?? Well then my darlings it's their fault tough shit. Some people think that it should be automatic and that when they say it the OTHER has too! But I"m here to say no you don't, not necessarily. I dated this one guy for a short time, dude said those words to me and I jumped ship, why? Because he didn't know a damn thing about me. I've come to the conclusion that those three words can make someones world or ruin it! lol not to be mean just something I've noticed and seen it rip apart people relationships.

Sometimes I love you is premature and makes others try to live up to it, other times its LONG over due and by the time you say it the other person gets mad and irritable that it took you so long, then you have those right moments when it's said and doves fly in the air and an orchestra is playing. We all want that orchestra, not the anger or the OMG what do I do response.

So when is the right time to say I love you? You be the judge I gave my two cents.

The "someone" I speak on for today's topic is not my current boyfriend just an FYI :)
