too pretty…

to fly? are you kidding me-i am sitting sipping a small mocha, contemplating how younger Yers get attention. per-se causing obvious disturbances on aircraft & then wondering Why they are not allowed to fly. i don’t think i need to spell this out, i think my reading audience is smarter than that. besides the fact that msnbc and the {today} show carried these ridiculous stories spells out how attention grabbing Yers are misusing the media. to say that they are all parisHilton wannabe’s down to their shaken n Bake tans, & obvi0us breast enhancement & savvy 15minutes of fame is pathetic.

one of the 3 women that has been in media flew on Southwest, an airline i have Never had a Badflight on-Ever. i have been flying on aircraft before the non-showered, wearing my pajamas and slipper set began showing up. i was even called a Pro/Expert traveler when flying out of NYC a little bit over a year ago by a Pilot flying home. what does being an Expert traveler mean, i am never fishing for my id @ checkpoints, my shoes are off before i am asked and i carry my own food & water. eating an overpriced brown bag lunch from the airlines is Gross. please, how long did it sit @ the storage facilityBefore making on the aircraft. i don’t want to know.

i tend to carry sushi with me, not only does it keep my blood sugar in check// protein & having a shelf life longer than most people believe. i also buy enough water for the day out of my departure airport, meaning i am not trapped having to buy more on my layover leg. the last time i flew i was wearing all black & hideous crocs, something i amOver wearing. i walked through the TSA checkpoint with no issues-and had a small wait @ the gate-it’s better than having to run…

back to these girls or Yers that think they are too Pretty to fly, that was never the issue in the first place & the statement Southwest airlines released showed this. i have flown Southwest for most of the last nearly 8 years i have been on the left coast. Please. i even was invited to an interview with them, they are one of the Best & smartest carriers that are in the sky, granted they do some cowboy jumping but what pilot has done that on approach When RunningLate. i rest my case. what bothers me about what these Yers did was seek media attention, wearing something obnoxious when you fly does Attract attention- i have sat next to people that feel the need to Narrate the Entire flight down to when drinks are brought down the aisle. Please.

i also have an issue with their obvious lack of self respect, considering that i can’t walk out of my house in a skirt without having guys slow their cars down & being whistled @ when i am barely showing Leg, something i now take as a blessing & curse. i have only flown in a dress once & spent the entire flight under the blanket the crew me, i was freezing on the entire leg(s) i was on. was it worth AllThe attention. Nada. i prefer men who see me not my body, as most women are smarter than what we may dress like. i can still fit into a bikini without embarrassment, as i am crawling into my mid 30’s. recently, i had a conversation with a friend of mine about the whole being seen as legs/ass& how much of that i have dealt with. i studied femTheory in college and nearly had a minor into Why women are still making a meek seventyFive cents to a dollar in the work place.

i understand that there are porn out there in cyberspace & men who do Give women the wrong kind of attention, even in the floundering early AM tv shows. this just means that they needed A Story; what Riled me about Southwest, hooters fiasco is that she had more done to her body in obvious places that where not appropriate, than i have made in my lifetime. she looked like a Hooker on the aircraft & was kind enough to give the {today} show a crotch shot, Gross. she isn’t getting out a limo, showing up on show with her attorneyPresent is another desperate attempt to shake down an airline for Discrimination-something she wouldn’t know anything about. she was asked to cover up on the airline for obvious reasons, blatantly obvious reasons.

before i turn this into a book i am going to hold off, next time you see a pretty thing-in the spring, keep your actions to yourself. No matter how much you may want to cat call her. cause a huge portion of my female friends don’t find it flattering to be seen as a piece of meat in your skillet. but then again-we may look @ like a piece of meat-But we won’t whistle @ you because you went to the gym for the past week & you started another Fad diet to get you shape for summer.

don’t support the littleGreen mermaid. drink local joe.

TheQuestion…

the last few weeks have been filled with questions. lots of questions. in a way it has been good because it has forced me to take a step back and look what i want out of my life; now that the medication is working and my days are not filled by me Freaking out. where do i begin? i was proposed/raising questions for me. do i like where i am in my life, Right now or should i do something different?

it’s what i call my cupcake mondays, i escape to ballard a place where i have lived the longest out of all the neighborhoods. maybe it’s the baristas or the smell of the salt air always making my days better. i also feel like i can escape from whatever is bringing me down. living in transitional housing for the past 6months has taught me that there are days that i am grateful i am not in the house. reallyGlad!

so here i am it has been one of the Best months of life even though it hasn’t been the easiest. i love February-because it brings spring, days slowly start getting warmer, daylight last till past 6 in the evening, and between it all we get spat on with a little bit of rain. spitting rain usually isn’t bad to be out in. i don’t melt last time i checked. i love the rain in the winter as it makes everything Green all year around. sometimes it gets cold-ah it’s winter that happens..duh!

i still have some serious questions to think about, but with all the Spring weather i will figure out which end is up-the side not marked Fragile.

overWhelmed

overwhelmed. i really was on Vday, maybe it was the flowers, or the gadget i got? or maybe it was the question. in the next 6 months i have some serious thinking to do. i was touched by how my current Bf proposed & how patient he is being with my decision. this past year has been filled with a change.

today, i moved up a floor in the transitional housing program i am in-it means i get 4nights out every month & quieter place to sleep & to figure out what i am doing with my life. being in transitional housing has been a real life experiment for me, as it is giving me a chance to start to figure out what i want to do with my life, what i really want to do. since i have had fibromyalgia for the past couple of years it has taught me that there are days when i can’t do everything-and i have to slow down.

i want to find a vocation that works with my creativity, rather than tire me to exhaustion. i am currently working on a small portfolio with my new camera. i can’t wait till i upload the new program onto my laptop, speaking of that i need to get it. managed to get the pictures on the laptop now i can’t email them. really Frustrating! sipping & finished a second coffee just trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the damn camera program!!

i am sure by the end of the week i will have figured it out, till then Argh! :0)
