Happy Easter Ya'll

Just thought I'd celebrate my day off work with all you people.

And not to get killed for not posting so often on this blog.

I kinda wish I had more Easter traditions. As a kid when I asked with gleaming eyes to get chocolate, Easter egg hunts or other things kids got to do or get on this magical day, my parents just retorted "go get it from the store". As I grew older, it just became an even LONGER service at church on these days.

So getting this day off now...is sweeter than chocolate :P

Anyone have traditions on this day??

I like these songs right now...

This is off Prince's new double album and it's just super sweet and awesome. Me likey!!!



I didn't really expect to like Lily Allen's new album, but I do. Then this song started with this awful country beat and I thought I'd definitely hate it. But nope, it's HILARIOUS!!!



I think this song sums up every relationship after it's over and you look back and realize that it wasn't meant to be and you've moved on.



The Black Eyed Peas are BACKKKKKK! They're experimenting with some new sounds and this one is definitely heavy on the dance beats. It's cool, cuz really there's not much vocals, just a lot to dance to. Lo and behold, it's #1 on the Billboard charts. Here's to trying something different and finding out that it can lead to huge success!!!

That's what I'm enjoying this week...how about you?

It's time to Meet the Parents!

Alritey, so say you're one month into hanging out with somebody and you decide to introduce them to the parents. What would be your natural reaction?

For me, it's a state of calm and I'm not sure why. The last person that I introduced to my parents was after a full year of being with them. We were in love, committed, and so it felt right that my parents should finally meet him.

This time around, we've been hanging out for over a month and only officially dating as of earlier this week. It's Easter, I always escape to the cottage, so I figured that I'd just bring him along too. Everybody loves the cottage and an escape from the city is good for all. Plus, it's cheaper than driving to Montreal, paying for accommodations, food, gas, etc. ;)

Yep, I think I just admitted to choosing the cheaper option even though, it may cause some possible grief. I haven't really said much about him to my family. Well except for lying that he was 37 and super rich. To which my Dad exclaimed 'Ugh..you're only with him for his money.' This displaying that my Dad knows nothing about me as I don't do much older and never am with somebody for their $.

I think because things have been so casual that I'm not feeling any anxiety over our day at the cottage. Mostly, cuz I know my fam and they are pretty harmless and when not, I've warned him of what to beware of. My Dad called my ex Shamu for an entire weekend, cuz he thought it was hilarious. My ex coming from a family where people don't make fun of each other...did not! New guy has a pretty good sense of humour, though I'm a little excited to see what flaw Dad will pounce on. ;)

While on the outside this may seem like a 'big step', I don't feel it is. If anything, it's a chance for us to endure a mini road trip with each other, spend a day together, and see how that feels. I've got an upcoming cross country road trip and him many little trips out of province/country. Perhaps this will encourage us to spend some of those together or just continue on our current path of casual-ness.

Do you spend a lot of effort not introducing your relationships to the family? Is it a big step when you do so? Would you rather the family and partner never interact? Any disaster stories to share?

Fatty McFat's TV Viewing

Last week, we learned all about where you like to eat out.

63% of you all enjoy some Pizza Pizza and I don't blame you. Pizza is awesome! Plus, they've got all these great deals nowadays. I'm partial to the $5 combo as you can get pizza, fries, drink and dipping sauce. That's sweet ass!

54% of you like Wendy's and that's super supa cool! I recommend the chicken on the go wrap (grilled) with a small chili and iced tea. If you're in a fatty mood, then jr. bacon cheeseburger, fries, and iced tea.

45% of you have had McD's, Mr. Sub/Subway, and other nasty mall food court food. I haven't had McD's in at least 3 years, but their dollar menu almost got back me. I think I did quizno's in the Fall and I did do mall food court recently. Though I don't know if chicken schwarma counts as nasty food. It tastes pretty damn good!

Now that we're all big and fat from indulging in our fatty mc fat foods, let's talk television. I don't watch a lot of tv, but when I do, I think it's either really good or really really bad.

I love 'Lost' as it's just consistenly unfolding and always has a good season ender. On the flip side, I fucking love 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' too. Why? Cuz I love a man with a mullet!! Haha..I just can't resist. Anything on A&E, I love!!! Then I love 'House' too and that show is great. On the flip side, if I remember the 'Biggest Loser' is on, then I have to watch. So I'm just going to list a ton of shows that I tune into and you vote for the one's that you watch too.

Fuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk You!!!!!

These are the days when it feels sooooooo good to say 'FUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK YOU!!!!!!' to everything and anything!!!

I'm not sure if it's the fact that I worked 7 days in a row and the only got a day off.

For my day off, I spent it writing a 20 page paper - so really I didn't get a day off.

I return back to work and have to deal with a mountain of bull shit and 2 meetings that were booked last minute.

One meeting was alrite, the other not soooooo much. One person accusing me of yelling at them, I was frustrated w/ them, but I didn't yell. She'd know if I was fuckin yelling at her!!! It would've been LOUD!!!

Another long ass day and more bull shit thrown my way through stupidity that is my co-workers!!!

A drive home that takes an HOUR, cuz traffic is blocked at 2 diff. locations!

I've been bad and not yoga-ed in over a week...which was stupid of me, cuz now my FMS is flaring up like crazy and causing me tons and tons of pain!

In conclusion, I'm solving my problems by letting out a good ol' FUUUUUUUCCCCKKK YOU!!!

What'd you do to get through your not so happy times?

I love the song, I hate the video

I have heard this song literally every single time that I've turned on the radio in the last few days and I really freaking like it.

How could I not? It's called 'Love Sex and Magic.' Plus the beat is pretty damn catchy and the lyrics, well, it's a pop song. ;)

But now I freakin' hate the video for 2 reasons: Justin and Slutty-ness.

1) Why is Justin in this video? He sings in some small part, so just show him then. Do I need to see him throughout and like lickin Ciara and doing his usual douche face. This is almost as bad as Rihanna's Rehab video, where he takes a shower with a shirt on.

2) Slutty-ness is cool, but this video takes it over the top. The song is called Love, Sex and Magic. Not Sex, slutty, and whore. There's no love in the video and there's certainly no cool magic. I read something that she said that she studied burlesque dancers for the video...I'd like to give burlesque dancers more credit.

What'd you think?

How do you break up?

Speaking with a new potential, I was reminded of former loves and the dreaded break up. I don't know about you, but I'm horrible at finding the right time to break up. Even when the time arises, I usually cave and agree not to break up. In conclusion, I'm awful at it.

My first real love took me months and months to break up with them. Mostly, cuz I'd spend all week preparing to do it and then I'd see him on the weekend and it'd be like 'Hooray, he's back in my life.' No need to break up, when you're happy. Mostly, I think I was horny and not seeing someone during the week and then only on weekends, it meant that I chose to let the horny win out over the emotions.

When I was finally set to end it, there was never a good time. My b-day in September, Thanksgiving in Oct, his b-day in Nov, and X-mas coming up in Dec. Finally, I did it the worst way possible. I did it over the phone. Which for a LTR, it's about as bad as ending it over a text these days.

My next majjjjuuuhhh break up was even harder. I lived w/ him. Now that sucks hardcore. How do you break up with somebody, when you fear that they'll fuck your shit up? Or like destroy the house that your 'rents own? That's some tough shit to deal with. Plus, you're working 6 days (sometimes 7) a week, going to school, doing placement, and just don't want to deal with anything. It's only when your friends pop back into your life that you get a wake up call and the balls to end it. I can still hear him crying after it was finally over. Never do I ever want to hear such pain again. I still feel pretty awful over that break up.

My last big break up was a good long while in the making. In hindsight, we should've broken up probably 6 months in. Our arguments from the start were always about the same thing. I'd finally have enough, we'd have a 'serious' talk, I'd forgive, he'd promise to try harder and we'd move on. Or, I'd not forgive, I'd say 'it's over', get to the door, we'd hug and then that'd lead to kissing, which would to sexy times. :P We finally came to a mutual decision to just break it off.

After the break ups, comes the still having sex thing that I really need to start getting better at not doing. But that's a piece for another day!!!

So how about you? Are you any good at breaking up?
