Poppin Bubbles

Yeah I said it, Scorpio the zodiac sign, and coincidentally the one I have always identified with, has officially been screwed in the proverbial ass (well actually the tail, but who's really paying attention, except maybe me?) in the new debate that is heating up with the introduction of the newest zodiac sign- Ophiuchus. So, imagine my surprise when a friend of mine calls me and asks me whether or not I liked my new zodiac sign. I was like, "What the hell are you talking about?" Oblivious to all the shenanigans going on, she said go take a look, there is a new astrological sign and now most people no longer fall under the astrological sign that they may have always associated themselves with.

Well damn, ain't that about a bitch! Well for those people who swore by their horoscopes and could not make a life decision without having read their daily, weekly, monthly and annual horoscopes and consulted with their personal mediums... LMAO!! Ok, I don't mean to be mean, but I am such a pessimist and skeptic that I am not one of those people. But you know, do you! If that is what you are interested in, I can't knock it, it is after all your life. Anyway, as usual I digress, the fact of the matter is there has recently been new information put forward that suggests that we have been overlooking the changes in astronomy as the earth rotates on its axis and changes directions with the constellations. This information was provided by a Professor Parke Kunkle, a member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society. For more info you can check out this article at the following link: http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news/new-zodiac-sign-chart-ophiuchus-jan-13-2011


Soooo... the new sign, Ophiuchus (Still don't know how to pronounce it, help anyone!!!) covers the dates of November 29 - December 17 and is associated with the mystical animal of the serpent, yes that same serpent that "beguiled" Eve in the Garden of Eden and thus forever changing the history of mankind... So those of you who were previously under the sign of Sagittarius, especially need to check and see what's what. Well in all actuality everyone who pays attention to their zodiac might want to check and see if there has been any changes for themselves. But more importantly for those of you my fellow former Scorpios, did you see that the most significant change in dates for all of the zodiac signs happens to be our sign??? Why is that? The Scorpio zodiac sign only covers 7 days. Yes, I said it 7 days, November 23-29, and that's it! I have to admit I am a little outraged, and I am trying to figure out the reasoning behind the choice of dates. And how does this now affect our choice in mate selection, past and present? Can we really use the zodiac as a determining factor as we date and find our soul mates? I don't know, but as long as it wasn't your only factor I guess you are safe... Think about it for a second and let me know what you think...

It's "Another Day & Another Bubble Popped!"


P.S. This was not going to be my original post, but I just had to put it (my thoughts) out there... so stay tuned!! Muah Smooches!

P.P.S I just thought about something else, what about all those people who have their original zodiac signs tattooed on their bodies? Are they really going to go through with the painful removal of their tattoos? Damn! That shit hurts!!! Laters...

As days go by and fade to nights

I still question why you left

I wonder how it didn't work out

but now you're gone

and memories all I have for now

but no it's not over

we'll get older we'll get over

we'll live to see the day

that I hope for

come back to me

I still believe that

we'll get it right again

we'll come back to life again

we won't say another goodbye again

you'll live forever with me

someday, someday

we'll be together

someday,

someday

we'll be together

I heard someday

might be today

mysteries of destinies

they are somehow

and are someway

for all we know

they come tomorrow

for today my eyes are open

my arms are raised

for your embrace

my hands are here to mend

what is broken

to feel again

to walk on the face

I believe there is more to life

oh I love you much more than life

and still I believe

I can change your mind

revive what is dying inside

and someday,

someday we'll be together

someday,

someday

we'll be together

someday,

someday

we'll be together

we'll be together

we'll be together

someday

This Song/Post is dedicated to the person I love, Happy Birthday!!

BTW this was a really good movie, it should still be on On Demand

I have chosen to let my creative side step out a little bit more this year and wanted to share a piece that I had somewhat penned a couple years ago and fine tuned recently. Let me know what you think...


"Six Pack Loving"

Mr. Oh So Fine too good to speak
With your milk chocolate complexion
and perfect white teeth, psst
why don't you lift up that shirt...
and let me have a peek.
A peek at what? you say
That fine chiseled, complex network
of your abdominal muscles
that culminate in what is commonly known
as your "six pack".

That level of definition I know
takes alot of work, and your
dedication to its craft, ooh a
joy to behold, a joy to be held
by you with that magnificent
body of smooth ripples touching my skin
There is nothing quite like
some of your "six pack" loving.

You inspire me to go to the gym
and do the same, not quite yet,
but what I enjoy the most, are the thoughts
you generate, oh what a shame!
Those shameful thoughts that
shamelessly happen to cross my
mind and are very readable on my face,
a response that I cannot
control or even want to, should I?

Your virile touch sends me into a state,
a state that can only be sated by a
generous dose of your six pack loving...
And although we might sit and chill and
shoot the breeze over a six pack about
this and that, and your "six pack"
but its really your "six pack" loving that I'm craving.

OK, so first let me apologize for the unusually long header/title for this post, it just seemed to be the most appropriate. And secondly it really does not have anything to do with the Sex Text Scandal currently heating up the sound waves here in D-Town, but don't be surprised if it gets mentioned at some point. At this point I shall have to put a small disclaimer in right here,this post is not meant to hurt or harm anyone in particular in any which way or form, if you find that the text mentions people, places and events that might seem relevant to a situation or yourself, please don't let it consume you... It's not about you (or your crew), it's just my observations...

Over the years I have had some very interesting dating experiences, and from time to time as I work through "poppin some bubbles" in my life, you are going to hear about some of them, but for right now we will just concentrate on the present post at hand. 'To Text or Not to Text...', found its place in cyberspace thanks to a very clear reminder that I got yesterday when I received a text and my phone promptly alerted me that I had used up 87% of my allowed text storage. Well this particular text that I received came from someone who I am not so sure I even need/want to/deserves a response. I have not been out on a date in more than a year, so correct me if I am wrong, but don't people still call and ask each other out? Well I was still under that impression about a month ago, until a certain young man invited me out via text... Ding ding ding! That should have been the light bulb right there, going off in my head with the loud noise of an alarm. Anyway, I accept this invitation to go out and then the conversation started about what we were going to do and where we were going to go (all via text), so I was told whatever you decide is fine.

Being the cost effective sista that I am, I found something that I thought might be fun to do and not cost too much. A movie at the DIA, "Honeydripper" with Danny Glover, an excellent movie I might add, and refreshments in the cafe, and then later on to the Erotic Art show and possibly dinner at Berts. Now this was all decided upon two days before the date, at least the first part, which the person said was cool. So now the day of the date arrived and I had not spoken to my date, so I decided to call to confirm, there was no answer, so of course unlike most, I left a message, a very detailed one at that, with all the particulars for the evening. I even did one better, I attempted to use the preferred method of communication 'text' to see if I would get a response... Alas, no luck and it soon became apparent that I was being stood up. Needless to say, I still had a great time at the movie, art show and late night dinner, minus my date, thanks to a couple of married friends who decided they would be my dates...

But the tale does not end there, for we must get to the most recent text message... So, two weeks after being stood up, this person sends me the standard text line that every guy seems to have pre-saved, "What's up? What are you doing tonight?" I was immediately incensed, after standing me up, not returning my phone call, and basically ignoring me for two weeks, this person, decided that they would contact me, via text no less, to make plans for that very night. At the time I was doing some paperwork with a friend, she saw the incredulous look on my face and after explaining the situation to her, she asked "are you going to respond to that?" The answer is yes folks, I did respond...however, I did let that person know in an ever so nice way how I felt about them standing me up and the situation in general, via text of course... claims were made, "oh you never called, I didn't get any msgs. from you, etc, etc..." Surprise, surprise, we have not made it out on a date yet, but didn't I get a text last night, "What's up? What are you up to?" (A slight variation of the standard text line) Amazing, men are amazing, is this a blindspot that they are just not trying to acknowledge as they cruise along dating? Ok dudes, let me break it down for you, texting me shows me how little you think of me, so I am not going to take you seriously if your preferred method of communication is text messaging... it reeks of laziness, (sloth is one of the seven deadly sins) and further proves my hypothesis for my thesis paper that, "the whole video gaming industry has a significant role to play in the diminishing of effective communicative skills among the male population between the ages of 7 thru 45" You might say that texting has absolutely nothing to do with video games, but lets think for a moment, picture in your mind if you will a person who is texting and a person who is playing a video game on whichever gaming system... hmmm? See the similarity, there are non verbal communications taking place here, and lets not forget the uttered expletives when you have just made a mistake or lost a game. Who are they talking to? Themselves? What's the response? I seriously think that the lack of communication skills required for gaming has affected the ability of men to effectively communicate, much less to communicate with someone they are attempting to date.I think that it is in poor taste to try to date someone and only communicate via text. Part of what attracts one person to another is the voice, the tone, the timbre, the accent. At least for me that plays an important part in determining if I want to date person. Barry White was sexy to me, let's see had he been alive today, I wouldn't want him to text me, no Barry, I would need you to call me...

I would love to say that this most recent incident was my first experience, but sadly to say within the last three years I have found this to be very commonplace and I am sure this is not going to be the last... Well I gotta go now, but wait... lol you are not going to believe this, I just got another text...until next time, take care of you!
