There are many people nowadays who believe that there is a soulmate for every person on this earth. This belief encompasses the idea that there's a PERFECT match out there for EVERYONE, no matter HOW "unique" or "special" any one person seems. The overwhelming trust in predestined love is quite widespread, and I even find myself believing the ( Read more... )

"Life is a highway/ I wanna ride it all night long . . . " God BLESS Tom Petty for finding the perfect words to describe how I feel about traveling. I get such a RUSH out of it, and it doesn't even matter WHERE I'm going, I'm usually just perfectly happy taking a long road trip. Road trips are AWESOME, because they force me to think about ( Read more... )

It has become apparent that the time has come for me to take a moment and rant about STUPID women. I was watching Maury (the talk show) the other day (yes, I was bored) and there were these four REALLY pathetic women on there who had abusive husbands. Their husbands blatantly beat them (even in front of their children), called them degrading ( Read more... )

I have finally realized why some men are SO sexist against women . . . they're probably afraid of becoming obsolete! Just think . . . if ALL women emasculated themselves and became TOTALLY equal in men's salary, able to do ALL jobs formerly reserved for men, and became completely and totally independent--what use would men have on this earth that ( Read more... )

Ever notice how all "romantic" and "chivalrous" gestures have basically become the same? A guy is considered "romantic" if he buys you flowers, candy or stuffed animals, and he's considered "chivalrous" if he opens doors for you. Sure, all of that is nice in the beginning stages of a relationship . . . but how much meaning can the same flowers ( Read more... )

No matter HOW cynical, commitment-phobic or distrusting one can get, there will always be that unexpected moment--that completely caught-off-guard crazily-awesome moment when "they" walk into your life. Your eyes meet, smiles (the kind that could light up an entire room) are exchanged, and you have to literally catch your breath because all you ( Read more... )

I think that it's about time that I FINALLY get my mother's cancer story out in the open . . . but ONLY because it's getting closer and closer to the second anniversary of her death. I know a LOT of people are AWARE of breast cancer . . . but HOW aware are they? The Breast Cancer Foundation has done a good job of commercializing it. They've got ( Read more... )

"What if he doesn't call?" I hear this question SO often, obviously from women who have seemed to come to the final conclusion that when in a relationship, there MUST be phone calls . . . often. However, the funny thing is, they never talk about the OTHER ways of communication that modern technology has made available to them. There's text ( Read more... )

There are those people--the ones that you look at and figure that they only exist in this world to make others feel self-conscious. The ones that you WISH you looked like because you're SURE your life would be SO much better if you did. They're beautiful, have perfect bodies, which (of course) attracts EVERYONE to them . . . but do they REALLY ( Read more... )

I can single-handedly attest as to why "the children are so bad these days." Have you SEEN the parents? They don't seem to realize that children are human beings, not little chihuahuas, pets, mini-me's or accessories to make them look good. THAT'S "the problem with kids these days." Their parents dismiss them when they get too annoying for them ( Read more... )
