Feature Friday: She's Just Not That Into You...

This week's selection is a blog post I found online at TheFrisky.com, the writer goes by 'Simcha,' & since I found it to be an interesting post, I thought I'd share it with you guys here for this month's Feature Friday post.

Checked out any good blogs (literary, vocal or otherwise artistic works) you'd like to see shared? Or perhaps you've got some good stuff yourself. If so, shoot me an email at Ghostwriter28@me.com & I'd be glad to post it here. "10 Signs She's Just Not That Into You" reads as follows...

Guys can be just as clueless as women when it comes to reading the signs, especially since women have their own set of subtle brush-off techniques. After countless boring dates and awkward interactions, we’ve decided to let you studs in on our secrets. We’ve cut through the BS and compiled the signs that she’s just not that into you.

1. Message in A Message
You call her, you leave a voicemail, and she texts you back. If she really wanted to reach out and touch someone, she would have rung you.

2. Conflict of Interests
Sure, everyone has a busy schedule, but it’s the quality of the excuse that counts. If it’s, “I have to clean my apartment,” she doesn’t want to get dirty with you.

3. Private Eyes
Whether you’re having dinner for two or getting down on the dance floor, if she’s not looking at you, she’s not looking for you.

4. Please
You’re generous in the sack. She doesn’t return the favor. That’s the only clue you need.

5. Easy Access
At a party, if she’s talking to Joe Schmo and Wendy Whatsherface more than she’s chatting with you, you’re nothing special to her.

6. Rider’s Block
You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get her to give you the time of day. If you have plans, and she invites other people along, it’s time to say bye-bye.

7. Friend in Deed
She tells you what her friends think about you—and it’s not all good. This level of regurgitation is TMI and intended to drive you out the door.

8. Cuddle Monster
She has sex with you, but that’s it. She’s using you. Say adios—unless that’s all you want, too.

9. Multiple Choice
If she so much as mentions other sexy guys, you have to forget her—because she won’t forget about them.

10. Dressed to Kill
From lipstick to low-cut tops, if she never uses any of the tricks of the lady trade to look her best for you, she doesn’t think you’re worth her effort.

"America! Fuck yea..."

Normally, I'd be right there on the side of most cynics currently questioning impact of Osama bin Laden's recent demise & the resulting celebration by most Americans, but honestly - it's just not the time for it. This country needs a significant accomplishment to take pride in.

Just look at the shit-storms we've dealt with as a country over the past 10 years since 9/11. I mean, we're hardly a 3rd world country, but between our troops' continued presence in the middle east, high-ass gas prices, the health care battle, unemployment, FEMA's incompetence, the recession, housing crisis & ensuing bank bail-outs... fuck, do I really need to continue?

But this past Sunday, U.S. special operations forces made us all forget about that other shit for a few moments & I certainly welcome the break from it all. Screw the swift 'burial at sea' debate, the imminent retaliation plot by Al Qaeda & all that other jazz. We got that coward-ass mutha-fukka! If you want to mourn his death, feel free Gandhi - but not me.

As I watched the breaking coverage last night, much of the footage was dedicated to the crowds of students, tourists & citizens that gathered in front of the White House, Time Square & even upon ground-zero itself. It was so very refreshing to see (even if only for a flash of time) the citizens of this country all on the same accord for a change.

I love this country, but I'll be the 1st to admit I don't often embrace my patriotism as much as I should, but I certainly felt I was apart of a collective nation of people last night. To my fellow pessimistic, skeptical & overly morbid kill-joys, I implore you to hold-off on the convoluted conspiracy theories & such just a bit longer. Allow the country to bask in the glow of this momentary instance of unified satisfaction.

Blue Balls, lol...

Just about quitting time & all I can thank about here at my desk is sex! I'm well aware of how touchy a subject sex can be for many, but I've never really viewed the topic as taboo myself. In contrast, I've always welcomed discussions regarding human sexuality & intercourse.

In recent months I've been trying to abstain from 'meaningless' sex, but uhhh... not sure how much longer I'll be able to wage this particular war. It's almost summer & my hormones are operating at maximum output, keeping them captive will only become more difficult in the coming weeks.

In case you're wondering, masturbation will NOT cut it as an adequate stop-gap either. Honestly, it would be so much easier to scrap this damn plan & give some willing woman 'the business' & simply call it a night, lol. But Ma-Dukes once told me, "nothing easy is worth having," so I've (reluctantly) kept that in mind as of late.

Geez, I sure picked a God-awful time to seek 'something more' in women, lol. Granted, I've never been super-quick to do the 'grown-up' with just any ol' woman, but I'd be liar if I told you guys I was looking for some unique challenge during this present moment of extreme weakness. I'm definitely second guessing some of those recently deleted phone numbers now, lmao.

Remaining disciplined is always hard work & it's even more difficult when you know you're the only one keeping score. Without a doubt, I'm in definite need of some chicken soup for the soul, but getting these thoughts out of my head helps me a great deal.

"Thanks for allowing me to share," lol...
