The Reason the World will End Before 2012....

If the world wasn't in a bigger mess than it is, Lindsay Lohan comes along and poo poos more on it. The rehabbed actress claims the cute E-trade commercial with the talking babies are defaming her name because they mention a milk-a-holic baby named Lindsay. Please read link below:

LOL, Yes, I know, this has to be the most ridiculous accusation made in the history of Hollywood. I'm sure there are worse, but this one is probably the dumbest by far that I've heard in awhile.

Kids, do you see what prolonged usage of drugs does to you? This is even more of a reason to lay off any mind altering substances.

This was a short blog post because I wanted to share the stupidity that exists in this world.

Are you in a "Fake-lationship"?

Once again, there was an interesting topic discussed on the radio. This time it was about relationships that aren't quite relationships.

Make sense yet? Let me elaborate.

We surround ourselves by different types of relationships whether it's with our friends, family, significant others...BUT there is one that many don't know what to call.

"The Fake-lationship."

Fake-lationship(n)- Relationship between two people of the opposite sex that is purely friendly. They appear like they may be romantically involved because they do things couples may do, spends lots of time together, but no hooking up goes on.

Usually people in fake-lationships fail to see they are in one, until their friends make it a point to bring it up and ask if something is going on with their fellow fake-lationship-er.

I would know this firsthand because I've been in a few fake-lationships. I tend to get closer to my male friends and thus comes the development of my fake-lationships.

Now, some may confuse a fake-lationship with a friends-with- benefits kind of partnership, but get it straight, it's not. A fake-lationship is an innocent friendship between the two people where nothing sexual or romantic goes on.

In some situations a fake-lationship may result in more than just friends, in other cases it does take the friends-with-benefits road, and in some scenarios it may just stay the same until one or the other meets a romantic interest.

In my case, I am currently in a relationship that derived from a fake-lationship. Which is why hearing about the topic sounded eerily familiar. I remember our friends always questioning us if something was going on or they'd predict that something was going to merge from our friendship. Lo and behold they were right lol.

I guess this also pertains to the idea that Mr/Mrs. Right is right under your nose, but you're too blind to see it. They say relationships stemmed from friendship are usually the best ones...and I am a believer in that, but everyone is different.

Fake-lationships aren't necessarily bad, in fact they are probably good to have because they prepare you for when you're in an actual relationship.

And who knows, maybe by some crazy act of fate, that buddy of yours might be just who you're looking for ;-)

To Fight or Not to Fight?

This morning as I was listening to the radio they were talking about tactics couples use when they fight. Women are elaborate in their tactics. They can be passive aggressiveness, threatening or just be psycho--sometimes all three if you're a lucky guy. Guys are the type that will say screw you, go off and do their own thing and then deal with the issue when she's SANE. But the one method being spoken about this morning was the silent treatment. Now I don't know about you, but the silent treatment just wouldn't work out well for me.

1. I'm big mouthed
2. I'm too opinionated; therefore I always have something to say
3. I don't like there being tension for a prolonged period of time, so I'll probably be the first to break

It's kinda sad though how some people reserve to this and it doesn't get them anywhere to begin with. What a waste of time...if you're gonna be such an ass about it, just dump the person then.

One ridiculous case I heard was about some woman who had been giving her husband the silent treatment since December 29th. Now what i'd like to know is...WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO? That is an awfully long time to ignore someone you are living with and if it had to go on this long, they should have called it quits at least last month.

I can barely go one night being entirely mad at my boyfriend because I don't like conflict as much as I may be the one who instigates it...lol. Hypocritical yes, but I'm still big enough to admit when I'm wrong and apologize. Going to bed mad is unacceptable to me, plus I'd rather not continue reducing the number of hours I sleep because I already look like a zombie from "Dawn of the Dead".

All kidding aside, if people could just set their egos aside, they'd see how easy it is to get rid of that burden on your chest and move it along. I'm sure there are other things that your energy could focus on.
