Doesn’t it concern you that out of a vast pool of worthwhile fishes in the pond all eyes seem to be on the lot that swims closest to the surface? What I am getting at is the human need to get with people that do not want us. It’s amazing how crazy the laws of attraction are and it’s even crazier that there are people who would chase a dream over going for the people that actually like them. Chasing Waterfalls… Consider this; Janine loves Mike because he is crazy, dark and a felon. Mike on the other hand knows that Janine likes him so he figures she would be good for a solid poking before he moves on to win the attention of Sarah, who thinks Mike is a loser. Behind the scenes is Larry who thinks Janine is the picture perfect model of his wife to be because she is smart, funny and drop… [Read more]

More than likely as your business grows you will run into a client who claims that their last contractor ripped them off or didn’t finish the job. Something along those lines where they squarely put the blame on their last contractor. This is a huge red flag to me in business based on experience. While they may claim that their last contractor was terrible, they themselves turn out to be bad clients. What they don’t tell you about their last contractor is whether they (the client) paid what they were supposed to pay, whether or not they were clear with their instructions or whether or not their check bounced and they took their sweet time making it right. These are major things that would slow or stop any contractor in their work but you are never told that side of the story. All they want you to know is that the last person sucked and… [Read more]

As if by magic, as soon as you turn 20 the question rears its ugly head. “When are you going to get married?” To be fair, I have been dating the same man for almost 3 years now and we have discussed the concept of marriage. Lucky me, we both seem to be on the same page. Marriage is something we are both interested in, but not something we want to rush into. I’m actually quite skeptical of marriage. The sacrament does not mean that you and your partner will never part. It does not mean you are each other’s slaves and it does not mean the relationship is easy. Love exists even if there is no marriage. The ability to have a family exists even if there is no marriage. People can live their whole lives together, happily in love, with many children, and never walk down the aisle. The only thing marriage gives… [Read more]

“I didn’t play a villain; I played a man doing his job” – Stephen Lang That is how badass actor Stephen Lang describes his role as Avatar’s antagonist Col. Miles Quaritch. It was a brilliant portrayal, lost to many moviegoers due to being blindly distracted by the blue giants dominating the scenes and the protagonist Jake Sully’s quest to score some blue booty (he got it too #beastmode). All it takes is one look at Colonel Miles to know that he isn’t the type of man that you go to begging for a day off. The man looked every bit the committed military type that has been in the dance for so long that he is harder than penitentiary steel. Quaritch lived in a time when the technology allowed for a man’s scars to be removed yet he kept a visible scratch across his puss to remind him daily that he can never let his guard… [Read more]

“Dear Dragon, I am on the last nerve with my wife who has not had a job now for almost a year, doesn’t put any effort in finding one and bitches when I bring it up to her. We have been married for 4 years and we went through this on year 1 when she was unemployed and sitting home watching TV all day. The last time I yelled at her she got a job for a while but hated it and ended up getting fired. Now it’s the same thing, she doesn’t even cook or clean for me to consider her a housewife, I am basically her bitch that brings home the money. How do I get her to grow the hell up?” – William.T So you’ve married a bum and are now pissed off at that bum for being a bum? This may not be the answer that you’re looking for but you chose to… [Read more]

Smack! You feel tears streaming down your eyes but he just doesn’t stop.Your cries and screams instead urge him to hit you harder, with more brute force than ever before. Doesn’t this creature realize what a sin it is to hurt a woman? First, he makes you cry and then he hits you. Your body hurts from the beating and your face stings from the slaps but you’re made to think that it’s your fault; that if you hadn’t said or done something he wouldn’t have hit you. Don’t be afraid to leave this monster. There are friends and family that can and will help you, you just need to place a little trust in them. I am a passing ship in the night, but even I will carry your message through. I understand how hard it is when all you want is a man to truly love you… deeply. I know how it feels to sit… [Read more]

Every strong woman that I have ever dated has been a sweetheart when it came to the actual relationship. I think that a lot of tough girls who stand up for themselves and can physically fight you back, are stereotyped wrongly as this hyper-masculine, evil, bitch that isn’t capable of love. Many of you reading have seen a strong woman walking around with a guy that you assume is either weaker than she is or if he’s muscular – you assume him a big, patient, teddy bear type. Then you wonder at how he could possibly deal with her whenever the arguments start. I’ll tell you this right now, it takes a special kind of guy to date a strong woman – personally I have never had a problem with it. The main reason for this is that strong women in matters of love and affection are no different than the girly girls. Being able… [Read more]

A lot of times women get with guys that they assume are good only to be blindsided when the supposed good guy breaks their heart. Many women mistake decency and good manners as the traits of a “nice guy”. In reality a man’s actions can mislead you, the true sign of a man’s heart lies within his speech. You have to listen. Men are honest to a fault (unless you have one of those rare guys that lies non-stop). If you can get him talking he will tell you his intent, long-range plans and past transgressions. This isn’t to say that you should ignore his actions completely. If you listen to a man and he says something then executes it – you have to realize that you are dealing with a solid man. However, if you meet a man who says one thing and then does another, then you should be prepared for disappointment. What… [Read more]
