Eve: The Unmasking

Today I've toiled on about what I was gonna blog about, even started a whole new abrasive blog title that would have ruffled more than one set of feathers. So for the sake of peace to reign, at least a while longer I will blog about something totally different.

We live in an almost total patriarchal society and we (by we i mean the Eves of this world) are taught to accept it as it is. Recently there has been some sort of rumble from us but its still remains to not be enough.

Affirmative action: this word is totally misunderstood and misused in its context. So i will give my two cents worth of what it means to me. It doesn't mean we want to necessarily compete at par with the Adams but we would just like a head start for once. And its a pity the way the guys so readily put down this affirmative action story and turn around and justify their boorishness by claiming we wanted to be equal.washidwe!!!

Give me a metro-sexual man who will still open doors for me and stand in front of me if trouble is approaching and I will show you a submissive woman. This is the one key thing guys do not grasp, treat your lady right and you will never have reason to complain.

By now I know there are more than a few people just itching to jump at what I've said so i will go ahead to clarify some more. guys, all the nagging, all the fits of anger are not always because there is some hormonal fight going on within us. #justsoyouknow. Try and do something nice for once when your whole being is screaming to fight back or just listen to her and see how big a difference that makes.

To be continued.........

Blue Wednesday

Its spent a long time coming, this post. Not that I didn't have stories to write about but a lot has been happening in my life and it has sort of taken me by whirlwind. Some good, some bad but most awesome so I guess I got a good deal.

What I want to touch base about today however is on a sad note and I hope you will all bear with me on this one. A close friend of mine just lost his mother to cancer. Just that one statement says a lot. Honestly sometimes something hits you so hard you just have no way of even letting it out. Just as I got to work today I found out through Facebook that another of my friends passed away in his sleep yesterday. Wednesday the 18th of April seemed determined to push me into sadness.

So far its around 1:26pm and I think I'm getting by on robot mode. I had breakfast when I came into work and I had lunch too but I have to search my memory to really remember what I actually had. I look at people around me and wonder how life can just go on without a small tear in its regularity. Today would have certainly been a good day for those ugly morning showers so they can match my feelings.I'm not a heathen but some days I confess that I have a hard time understanding why things have to be the way they are.

Rest in Peace. May God grant you a special place in the heavens. <3
