When School Meets Men


School and Men? What can I say, the two kinda go hand in hand.

I arrived on campus early this morning, and as I’m walking down the street I notice two young men walking ahead of me. And the first thing I notice is that they both have nice legs, nice calves to be specific. And I, personally, tend to lean more to the eyes, smile, buttocks features on a guy. But around campus there seems to be tons of guys with awesome, toned legs. Maybe it’s all the walking around campus and up countless flights of stairs that gives them those kinds of legs, but boy is it sexy. And the funny part is, most of them probably don’t even notice how sexy their legs are which, is it just me, or does that make them sexier?

What’s even more to like, these guys are the same guys that answer questions in class with such poise and intellect that it could make any woman swoon. Brains, beauty and body all in one with a touch of ambition to be successful and start a career. Seeing men find something they’re passionate about and going to school for it to better themselves and actually doing well, takes my breath away. It’s a great look, and I get to look at it every day. Yay me right? It’s like a Mall of Men. (Boy do I sound like a typical female with raging hormones.) I will say it’s a great incentive to going to college.

I don’t maybe I’m just nuts, what do you think? Any hot guys on your campus? If so what makes them so attractive?

The College Life is the Life for Me?

It’s Wednesday August 22 and my third day of classes this semester at the University of Louisiana or UL. And so far I’m kinda diggin’ it and dreading it as well. The classes are ok and pretty interesting for the most part, although I spend most the time freezing my ass off. Between classes I basically visit my mom at her office and wander aimlessly around campus until I find a place that’s interests me. All the while somewhat longing inside for a buddy to walk around campus with or wondering “How is it possible that everyone seems to know everyone yet no one at the same time?” It’s frustrating.

Today, I really wanted to be outside so I decided to stroll over to the park. I found a nice covered bench and got comfortable, kicked off my shoes, laid back and smoked a joe. When I you that was the best way I could spend my break, believe me it was wonderful. I even squeezed in a little “party” and snack time, along with some light meditation, I looked over some notes took some time to appreciate my college experience a little more. I even tried to start back on my 30 day challenge (which coincidentally today’s topic happens to be my academics), work on next month’s, and take a few pictures. I will add that the Internet being down around campus does in fact blow ass but other than that so far it’s a great beginning to my semester. I’m hoping to reach success! Wish me luck!

You’re an Error Waiting to be Erased


Heavy heart and head, I bow down gracefully.

For the darkness of the stars are no longer permeable.

Fill my cup half empty, and pour it half full,

dazed and alone is the potion for my fuel.

I lurk, an empty shell, lifeless without being.

Held back by your turmoil, despite how it’s killing me.

I don’t want this anymore, this isn’t who or how I want to be.

Why is this so hard, why aren’t you listening, SET ME FREE!

My cries mean nothing, since apparently nothings changed.

But maybe it’s because of me.

Maybe I’m the one to blame.

The truth knows no limits when it speaks to cause pain.

Carving into me emotionally, digging into my soul, into my brain.

How did I end up here and why does it feel so cold?

I can no longer take this agonizing cheap torture you call a thrill.

Since I know it’s the only way you feel you can keep me in hold.

The world never stops changing and with it I must too.

Breaking free from my chains, no longer will I give in.

I need release, and there’s nothing you can do.

To keep me from running or to make me stay.

I’ve waited for too long, and that’s where I made my mistake.

Before long I’ll be gone, and that’ll be the end of this chase.

All good things must come to an end, but somethings are better off erased.

 

Five Ways To Sweep Me Off My Feet


 

Day one of the 30 Day Challenge is here and it’s time to get to work. Today’s topic: Five ways to win my heart. So if you were thinking about it, now’s your chance. 😉

  • Make me laugh, HARD. Laughter will most likely always win the heart of anyone, unless they’re a tight-wad prick. For me laughing takes the cake. Make me laugh till I cry, till my head and stomach hurts, or even better…till I can’t breathe. Either way, laughing is a big pick-me-upper and a BIG turn on. So don’t be shy, break the ice and tell me your best (and maybe even your lamest) joke!
  • Food! I just wouldn’t be a southern gal if I didn’t have a tongue with a taste for finger-lickin’ good food. Taking me out for dinner is nice, I’ll enjoy my meal the same. But make me a tasty home cooked meal yourself and, DING DING DING, we have a winner! Best way to this gal’s heart, number two, tango with my taste-buds. And heads up bacon, is never a bad choice.
  • Sharing is caring, so share something you’re passionate about with me. I don’t know about other women, but hearing a man speak passionately about something he cares about is down right sexy. Knowing and hearing your passion when you speak about it is enough, but letting me take part in your world lets me know you really care.
  • Skills and smarts can win my heart, but too much can make or break me. Just like sharing is caring, sharing your smarts and skill can be equally attractive. There’s nothing we women like more than a man with a brain. You don’t hear women swooning over the tin man do you? Exactly, a man with profound knowledge in one or more areas shows a glimpse of power that all men should have and feel. Yet too much smarts when it’s being pushed in my face can become overbearing and immediately sink my boat. So lay it on, but don’t overdo it.
  • Last but not least, say something sweet and sincerely mean it. Flattery is a lost art. Nowadays guys will say just about anything to lure (and I use the term as it’s intended) a woman in. What we really want to hear is compliments and your honest opinion. I don’t want to be “sexy” or “hot”, I would like to be told I’m “beautiful” or “gorgeous”. Be sweet and kind without being phony about it. Say what you mean and mean what you say, or else you’ll lose…end of story.

There’s plenty of other ways to win my heart, but perhaps we’ll save that for another day.

 

We Are Who We Can Only Be, Ourselves


We are who we can only be, ourselves.

Who are you to judge me because I like to wear all the colors of the rainbow at once?

Can I not express myself?

If my hair is five colors and my nails don’t match my toes, does that offend you?

What is it that my clothes and style is saying to you, for you to feel the way you do?

Is it envy for you fear it wouldn’t look as great on you?

My way of communicating non-verbally to you, on a non-judging basis.

It’s what your eyes say when you turn to face it.

For you to look at me and see the clothes that drape me as who I am and what I like.

To see that it’s not a threat but a poem of sheer delight.

That I can be who I want and dress as I please.

As for I portray myself through my clothing, for everyone to see.
