Annoying.

Annoying is the only word I can think of to describe some of my co-workers. LOL For the last few weeks I have been laughing about the stuff they are saying. Today, I just got annoyed.

I get work place drama and politics. It happens at every job. BUT DAMN! People that work in restaurants live for that shit. Lately, I have found myself falling into the gossip. I need to stop, but it’s really easy to get caught up in all of it.

I’m friends with a few guys at work. Now people are asking stupid questions and spreading rumors that I am or might be hooking up with them. It’s really annoying because one of these guys is MARRIED. And for the record I am NOT hooking up with anyone from Applebee’s.

I thought it was funny at first. I really did, because I knew it was going to happen. I just don’t know why I’m so annoyed by it now.

In other news….I’m ready for Britney to get here. LOL I say that like my friend is coming to visit or something. But I’m super excited for the concert. SUPER EXCITED!

Opinions…

So…I’ve been reading and then today we have the Chris Brown “verdict”/plea bargain.

Many people think they know what happened. I don’t know. But what I do know is that someone beat Rihanna up. Maybe she cheated. Maybe she gave him herpes. Maybe she was talking shit to him and pissed him off. Then there’s always the small chance that she did nothing at all to deserve what happened. What I am sure of is that something happened and nobody should have put their hands on her. Same thing goes for her. If she hit him first….she shouldn’t have.

Still, there’s no excuse for any of it. And if he didn’t hit her…who did? I just find myself enraged by the fact that people would make excuse for why something like this could have happened. I own my share of Chris Brown’s music. I have SUPPORTED him and Rihanna. But when you hit women/men that you’re in a relationship with, it’s domestic violence. That’s something I feel strongly about. God forbid I have an opinion that people don’t agree with. Plus, I’m not cutting anyone any slack just because they are a fucking celebrity.

The funny thing about this generation is that we’re celebrity obsessed. Sometimes people forget that celebrities are REAL PEOPLE. So, they make mistakes and they do “crazy” things just like the rest of us. How can we put these people on a pedestal? They are not better than us. Which is why I use Chris Brown/Rihanna as an example. He is not better than any other man and it is not beyond him to hit a woman. That being said, I’m not going to make excuses for him. “Rihanna gave him herpes.” So? Does that make it ok for him to hit her? NO! “Rihanna hit him first.” So? That doesn’t make it ok. And being a woman doesn’t make it ok for you to hit a man. I won’t make excuses for her either.

Take those examples and change the names. What do you have? An every day situation with “normal” people. Change Rihanna to Tiffany or to your own name. It CAN happen to you or me. I recently had a friend leave her boyfriend because he beat her up. Why did he do it? He was always jealous and thought she was cheating. Even if she had cheated…does that make it ok? NO! The funny thing is that he was a decent guy. He worked with us and I saw him five times a week. I’m sure most of us never thought…OMG he beats up women. We didn’t and he did it.

I look at all cases of domestic violence and rape as a personal attack. When you’re hurting other people because you don’t know any other way to deal with your emotions or because something bad happened to you, it’s your responsibility to get help. I also feel like it’s our responsibility to speak out about these types of issues. So many women (and men) deal with violence and never speak out it. Sexual, physical, emotional/psychological abuse are all forms of violence.

The rape culture in this country is kind of crazy. The funny thing is that people are so naive. We play into this stuff and don’t even realize it. That’s for another blog entry though. LOL

So, maybe people should stop being mad at me for speaking my mind about it. If you don’t agree…it’s ok. LOL And please grow up and realize that Chris Brown is an example that I am using because it’s something we all know about. I don’t give a shit about him to be honest. I like his music, but I’m not going to bow down and make excuses or not talk about it because he’s in a music video or movie. He’s no better than I am.

;) Stop being mad and do some research. I bet at least 25% of your friends have been in a situation like this When it hits home for you, you will realize that there is no room for excuses.

FIRST….if you have time. Click on the purple and blue box on the left side of the screen. It’s for a good cause and won’t cost you ANYTHING!!!! I swear. You just have to click.

I know I’ve had it all over my Facebook and Myspace status…but I had to say it again

I’M GOING TO SEE BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m STOKED! I was able to buy tickets for me and Delilah through the pre-sale. They aren’t amazing seats, but the best I could get with our little budget. LOL Then Jessica and Lilly were able to get seats directly behind us! This is corny as hell, but it is going to be AMAZING!

I’ve seen Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. I’ve been to see a bunch of rock bands. But never Britney. HOORAY! I’m super super super super super EXCITED!

So, I thought I’d spread the good news! Plus, it gives me a reason to blog about something. haha

The above video is I’m a Slave 4 U. One of my all time favorite Britney videos. The one below is the reason I became a REAL Britney fan. I used to hate on her and secretly like her. I bought the Ooops…album in secret. Then when people found out I had it I lied and said my dad sent it to me thinking I would like it. I acted like he was soooo out of touch. Really…I went to Wal-Mart and bought that shit myself. haha

THEN….we ditched a Thursday night band practice to watch the VMA’s at Jessica’s house. It was my senior year of high school. I believe it was me, Nancy, Jessica, and Vanessa. We saw this performance and it was quiet for a few seconds after she finished. I was floored and I’m sure my jaw was on the floor.

Now…it’s not so crazy because we’re used to seeing stuff like this. But I remember it being a HUGE deal that she wore that “naked” outfit. LOL

And now you know about the moment I fell is love with Britney Spears. You might think it’s lame, but I can’t help it. While I love music with “substance”…I can’t help but love pop music too. She’s an amazing performer and you better stop hating RIGHT NOW! lol

With that being said, I will post the video. Too bad it won’t have the same affect it had back in 2000. But I’ve seen this video a gazillion times and I still get chills…wishing I could do that. haha

I just watched it again and got chills. LOL She’s an icon…mediocre singing voice or not. :)

Fell free to comment for once. You guys never do and I know you’re reading cuz my stats show it! ;)

I’m just sayin’…

I’ve been thinking about some things lately….

I planned to blog about something IMPORTANT. Something we could all relate to, but I’ve decided that today I will blog about something personal.

If I invite you to go out and you don’t wanna go…JUST SAY NO! I’ve discussed this before. To be honest I’m a little irritated with the etiquette of my El Paso friends.

I’m not going to cry if you don’t wanna do something. Let’s not forget that you’re not my only friend. Maybe we don’t have the same things in common anymore. I don’t know what the issue is.

All I can say is that I don’t need your excuses. I could have made other plans instead of waiting around for you. Plus, it’s kind of lame that you will text me fifty different excuses (like “I’m broke”) and then go out the very next night. Or…you say you’re staying in and then you post pictures on your Myspace or Facebook.

It’s aggravating. I’m sure there’s something about my personality that bugs you. Or maybe it’s the fact that I CHOOSE to be single. I like going out. I like hanging with different people. I like that aspect of my life. I like that I can casually date and do as I please. If you don’t like that about me…it’s not my problem.

Just be straight with me. It’s not that fucking hard. If I know you don’t like me anymore or you don’t wanna hang out with me…I’LL STOP CALLING YOU! It’s that damn simple. My life does not revolve around you. And did it ever occur to you that I call because I like you? Because I consider you a friend?

Hmm…anyway. This is directed at a couple of people. Some will read and others won’t. I don’t really care anymore. Just don’t expect anymore invites from me. I’m sure you’re happy about that since you waste all that energy making shit up when all you have to say is NO!

Swag & Sex

Dear El Paso…..LOL Please look up the term SWAG, Swagga, swagger. I have been here for almost 5 months now and people are killing me with their lack of knowledge on popular culture.

Just because Soulja Boy says “I put my team on and my jeans on….” doesn’t mean that swag/swagga/swagger means you sag your jeans and wear jerseys with a ball cap. Ok? I’m just saying. It’s been annoying the shit out of me lately. This dude at work actually said that! “It means you wear your jeans like this and put your jersey on and you look good.”

Ok…..LOL

Here is a decent definition of the word from my friend Delilah.

Swag: style, appearance, the way one carries/portrays themselves. Tiffany and Delilah have that single girl swag going in. Swag.

Delilah and I do not sag our jeans and wear jerseys with ball caps, ok?

On to the sex….

So, I had a conversation with a friend and we have decided:

IT IS NOT OK FOR GUYS TO MAKE FUN OF GIRLS AFTER SEX!

Let me explain further…don’t make fun of the sounds or faces she makes during sex and don’t make fun of what she looks like or does before/after/during an orgasm. I can guarantee that she will totally lose respect for you. Plus, if she even bothers to sleep with you again, she won’t feel comfortable being herself. There goes good sex.

Also, we don’t do that shit to you guys. Can you imagine how humiliated you would be if we made fun of your “oh face”? lol We might say it to our friends (depending on the “relationship” we have with you), but we don’t laugh at you right after. Mocking and imitating are not flattering. Ok? Fucking ass holes….

LOL So, next time you sleep with one of my friends, you better keep your mouth shut. Let’s be real. She might not have had that orgasm because of you anyway. haha

Hmm…I’m done. Oh yeah I know how to connect the two subjects. Guys with any type of SWAG don’t comment on stupid things after sex. All we need to know is if it was good. And if it wasn’t…JUST GET UP AND LEAVE! Seriously. ;)
