Pregnant Women Get Brazilian Wax!


In the dream... he casually told me he had slept with another woman and my first reaction was knee-jerk indignation. He went on to explain that the woman--older, drunk, partying like a rockstar wherever he was earlier--wanted him really bad. She lay down and stuck out her butt and as I listened I realized I like hearing him tell me this. It's difficult to feign madness at something that is so natural to us all. Being desired and wanting to manifest that desire. The honesty of it made it acceptable and --as he was slowly and deliberately attending to my own needs as he spoke-- quite enjoyable.

What I have been doing for the past few years has been quite counter-intuitive to my basic tendencies toward desire and it's time to play the game differently.

"do you believe that playing games is inevitable?" I asked my cosmetologist as she applied a facial masque through gauze over my cheeks. "Yes" she replied with zero hesitation. "I don't like doing this and I wish it wasn't so but we do." The masque felt cool against my freshly squeezed skin, "when I met my husband I told him ' I don't want to be in a relationship. You see other people I see other people and if you meet someone special let me know and I will do the same.' That was in October, and by December he proposed."

This was food for thought almost as powerful as learning that pregnant women come in to get their Brazilian wax days before giving birth to avoid being shaved and having their hair grow back coarse. Honies, your kutch's density will be your last concern after becoming a mom!

Return to myself


with faint embrassment i must admit that i am 35 and absolutely no good at relationships. The bad news is that I invested alot of time and energy into developing personal relationships with friends and lovers that crashed and burned as surely as GWB's presidency despite my best efforts and intentions and as I contemplate what happened and what I could've, should've, would've done differently given a chance, the better question is: what does this mean? where do I go from here with this realization as my ally?

You can thank me later for sparing you the tedious details of my journey and subsequent arrival at this conclusion: BEING FREE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN THE FEAR OF GOING THIS LIFE ALONE

One insightful ex told me once his theory on relationships... people don't marry until they start losing their life mojo and snatch up the first person ready to take them before they fall completely apart. In other words, desparation drives people together.

This would explain why so many married people are miserable even b4 the children come along for the ride, and frankly I'd rather be single than bound to someone who is with me solely out of desparation, plus I'm not interested in giving birth.. but I digress.

This blog is the love-child of my realization that being free is what I care about most and the raison d'etre for my existence and I shall begin recording this experience via this blog so that one day people can laugh at what a fool I am while secretly harboring envy and living vicariously through my experiences.
