La vie est belle

I just found out I have an "A" in every one of my classes thus far. I'm kind of excited. In general I do well in school but usually by midterm break I always have one class where I have a mediocre grade which then requires me to spend the rest of the semester catching up. But not this semester. #lavieestbelle

I was not able to start my Bartending course as I wanted to something about they don't want me coming in late and disrupting the class, -- meh it will now have to wait until summer. But I started a entertainment company with my brother. I figured that I know many promoters, Djs, partygoers and a few club owners who are tired of the same old shit when they go out that I think with our new perspective there is a lot of money to be made as a side thing. #lavieestbelle

Body and I have been getting along much better. He went through some stuff with his family and I was there for him. Then we got to talking and one thing led to another. I know right now is one of the many honeymoon stages we've had throughout our relationship. But I am hoping things will be different. For right now though #lavieestbelle

Me, Myself and I

"The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself" - Diane Von Furstenberg

I read this quote a few days ago and it inspired me to spend some time working on myself. I think I spent the last few years dependent on other people (by other people I mean Body mostly) for my happiness. There had been times when my emotions yo-yo'd greatly because of him meaning one moment I was ecstatic because of something he said or did and then he would say something or cancel plans we had for a legitimate reason and I would be so grumpy.


Anyway there are a few things that always wanted to do and I think now is the right time to focus on them and do them on my own. There really isn't much that I have gone out and done on my own. I always have company.  The things I want to do may seem basic and they may not all help me better myself in the long run but in general it is something I just want to do. Which is a good enough excuse in itself.


1. I'm going to get my Bartending License. I've been wanting to do this for years now and right now there is a special - $100 off. I start in 2 weeks if they will accommodate the slight conflict with my school schedule.


2. I want to learn to drive stick. I am one of those people who got their licenses as soon as they turned 16 and from the beginning I always wanted to drive manual but people kept telling me just learn automatic it will make my life easier.


3. I want to get laser hair removal. I hate shaving and waxing with a passion. It takes up too much time. I think it would be a good investment for life.  - Has anyone done this? Was it worth it?


4. I want to get a tattoo to remember my grandmother who passed away in 2008. I have the tattoo drawn and ready but I was waiting for someone to come with me to get it.


5. I also want to get another piercing. Maybe 2.


That's all I could think of for now. Ill try to keep ya'll updated with what I actually do. Hopefully all of them before the year ends.

Lists: I Will Never Date

Like most women I used to have a list of what I want in a man ideally. But I came to the realization that that list was  ABSOLUTELY pointless and it was like I was deliberately setting myself up for disappointment because no one person was ever going meet all the criteria I had set. So I made another list. A short 5 point list it is more like a deal breaker list, a list of things that I would not accept from a guy right now while I am young and have yet to reach my peak in terms of sex, education, looks and the works. So here it is my I Will Never Date List:

1. A father.

- I realize as I get older and if I am still single I may have to remove this from the list but right now I honestly think I am too young to deal with baby momma drama. I don't want to come second to anybody and at the same time I won't make him chose between me and taking care of his kid. Dead beat dads are the worst. Also if and when I have a kid I want it to be a first time experience for the both us. 

2. A Druggie or Alcoholic.

-If a guy does drugs or drinks alcohol that is his business. But to do it on everyday basis is a NO no for me. Ideally I would want him not to do drugs at all and ever and not to drink in excess. There is a lot more to life then sitting around chilling, drinking and doing drugs.

3. A fat man.

-There is nothing sexier than a guy who is in shape with washboard abs, chest and back muscles and the works. At the same time I would date someone who is not in great shape who has a great personality. However no amount of personality can make up for a double chin and beer belly (how shallow is this lol). But I can't help it it is how I feel.

4. A man with a hygiene problem.

-First off I've been told I am OCD when it comes to this. But I honestly don't think it is too much to ask to be hygienic. I am extra sensitive to scent be it good or bad and I feel shouldn't have to remind him to shower, to wear clean clothes, to brush his teeth etc. I date men not boys and I won't mother them. 

5. A man who is related to an Ex or dated one of my family members.


-Its all about respect even if we don't talk anymore. I would be pissed off if anyone of my family members dated my Ex and I would not do it either. It would make me think did they want him while I was with him?

In general that's it. If I am still single in my late 30s maybe I will drop point 1 and point 3 off the list. But the rest will stand forever.

On to the next

I have decided to drop TrackStar as a possible friend with benefit. He is good looking and all but I can't knowingly mess with anyone's relationship even if at the moment it seems like he is just not that into her. He has been a little too reckless with his words about her lately (not that I ask he just seems to have verbal diarrhea ever since he admitted he had a girl and can't stop bringing her up). But at the same time he is probably crawling into her bed and telling her he loves her. I am so turned off but it is probably better this way.  


There are a few other fish in the sea (none worthy of a post or even a name yet) and even if there were not I feel wrong pursuing anything with him. Regardless I am not going to come second to any woman in a man's life (well except maybe his mother). So for the time being TrackStar and I will just be friends without any benefits if he can handle it. If not I am going to get a few more training sessions in and then it's adios.
