What's happening in the Blog world? It's probably going just as good as ever. A post here and there to make life more interesting. I had a realization in the Hot Tub the other night. While I am certainly graduated and done with school in the educational sense I can not escape "Middle School Mentality."
And no I don't mean from me. I have matured to act my early twenty age. I am writing about all the boys that make me feel like I am digressing into that truly awkward phase of puberty.
*Middle School and You*
The other night I went to a friends house to watch some college football. As one can assume most of the party-goers were guys. I was one of three women. This did not bother me as I have always gotten along well with guys. I have many guy likes. My lady and I had decided to wear bathing suits to the party as we knew we could drink in the hot tub. When we got to the house everyone seemed super quiet. The kind of quiet that comes from nerves.
Picture this... You are about 12 years old. You have just showed up to a co-ed dance. You have waited all week to see your crush. The gym is decorated in cheap balloons and streamers. In the front of the room is a table. This table has a bowl of disgustingly watered-down fruit punch. Next to that is a bag of chips. On one side of the room a bunch of girls are giggling and dancing. On the other side are the boys standing staring at the girls. The whole night is a bust because no one really has the guts to mingle with the opposite sex.
Instead of embracing the differences we shy away from them. And just like that dance every day in class the same thing happens. The boys are too shy to actually make some sort of move.
So now my lady and I are actually in the Hot Tub chit-chatting and drinking. All the boys at the party are fixated on the TV and their football. Or so they want us to think. Eventually they all create excuses to come outside. They grab chairs and proceed to talk to each other in front of us. Only one of them joins our conversation. I don't feel like I should be an intimidating woman. It just seems that a lot of my problems occur because of attraction.
This is highly frustrating. I just want a man to understand that I am here to talk, and that maybe I am a pretty person outside, but most importantly inside.
These days I feel that some men need to step it up. The scenario that I created earlier. Someone needs to break the trend. It just takes one brave soul to be an example to everyone else!!!!
"Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing." Billy Madison

What??? That still happens??? What a bunch of amateurs!
Don't those clowns know that the first rule of being a guy is scoring? It's priority #1. Everything else, like watching men in tight pants playing a childern's game comes second.
Sports come and go, but a quality woman is a something that should never be passed up. Life is too short.
When it comes to the opposite sex, it's like what my dad says when I freak out upon seeing an insect in my house--- "They are just as scared of you as you are of them." Provided that you are in fact scared of them in the first place, of course.
They are probably MORE scared of you than you are of them.
After all, we eat fish. Plenty of fish in the sea, they say? Hmmm.
