That's what friends are for?

Could you all do me a huge favor and listen to the song "that's what friends are for" Yes a seemingly lovely little ballad about friendship that plagued graduations for decades until it was replaced by that awful vitamin C...anyway, the song goes on about friendships and being there for one another, the duet subtly indicates that men and women can be very much plutonic...But after this long sweet ode...suddenly a sarcastic "yeah" as in "yeah right".  It makes the whole song seem like a joke!  So is it that friendship is a joke or perhaps that men and women actually cannot be friends!? OR since it's the man who says it, is he just going along with the friendship but really wants more???? OH THE POSSIBILITIES

These little earthquakes

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces-Tori Amos

Just felt an actual Earthquake in upstate New York....ccccrazy!  I was sitting on my bed and it was quivering, looked over at my dog who was shaking and assumed it was him, but he was shaking because everything else was shaking!!!!

Love Notes

As an English Major I will now quote an overquoted writer of taste, "The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.-Edna St. Vincent Millay.  Shocker.  Well this quote got me thinking about relationships, something I've vowed to put less thought into now that I'm in my 30s and pretty much spent my 20s postulating the whys and hows.  However, one truth remains in my many many years of dating and that is that my long distance relationships usually held more excitement.  They did not have the burden of the everyday routine, and though, many people enjoy spending every waking minute together...I do not.  Don't get me wrong I am in a very happy relationship right now with a boy in extremely close proximity...incessantly.  It just seems that we've moved from the simple joy of seeing each other to the expectation and obligation phase rather quickly.  As a writer and avid reader I enjoy dragging things out and testing them at every turn for their true potential.  Perhaps, my significant other had one of those "she's the one" moments and does not feel the need to prolong our courtship...but it would have been nice.

        So, I just finished reading "The English Major" by Jim Harrison and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely.  It's only about 250 pages and it was a great vacation read.  I love that he traveled something I love to do.  I have always wanted to publish a travel log type of story.  I was at Bethany Beach in Delaware and I highly suggest it to the eastcoasters.  It's not quite as far as the Carolinas and it has the same atomosphere.  Surrounding Bethany Beach is Rehoboth, Dewey and Ocean City, Maryland.  I went to all of them and spend just 7 days and 6 nights in a lovly four-bedroom condo.  My adivce: Stay away from the Buffets they are pricey and not very good.  I believe the average was $33 per person.  Also, after a brief rainstorm the waves are glorious!  Onto the next place in the am...

I'm cute, trendy, and mainstream and I love it! (anti hipster)

If there is one thing I loathe it is a hipster with their greasy hair, ugly clothes, bad music, post college postulations on life, CHUCKS! (converse sneakers...ew).  I'll admit I've gone a few days without washing my hair and to tell you the truth...it looks pretty damn good, probably because my hair is so damn dry from processing (something a hipster would never do).  I'll admit I've tried a fashion trend or two for example ripped jeans, corduroy pants, hell I even had patent leather airwalks at one point, but as an adolescent that is normal.  Ok, I love music, it is my life, but the crap that hipsters listen to isn't even good!  In fact, have you ever seen one dance? AWFUL.  I've done the whole soul searching, why and who and when and how bullshit and now I'm living my life, not talking about it.  Lastly, NO ONE should ever wear chucks and I say chucks because that is what converse sneakers have been re-named by hipsters.  I recall during my skater stage in the 90s I wore a lime green old man sweater...and a superlong old lady skirt...but I'm over it.  Hipsters listen up: It's not a lifestyle it's a phase, I never see 60 year old hipsters and in another 10 years all of you will be mainstream so suck it up and stop wasting the best years of your life in ill-fitting ugly attire PLEASE! The world will thank you annoying idiots trust me...yours truly, the anti hipster :)
