You could make this shit up, if there weren't any witnesses.

 I am a huge fan of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in, " Pretty Woman."In fact, it's up there with, "Dirty Dancing," in my top ten. I'm sure any girl who has seen either, has had their own little Swayze or Gere fantasy, and has dreamdt of playing the leading role along side those hotties. Can't even deny it. However, I never in a million years imagined actually looking the possibility in the face. Then...one night at the Hardrock...

It was late, and I had just arrived at my destination. As I came upon my friend at the Black Widow slot machine, I noticed a gentlemen sitting next to her and appeared to be quite attractive. In fact, he had the appearance of one of those steamy doctors in daytime soap operas, only he was decked out in an expensive golf shirt and slacks. His hair was similar to Keith Urban's, and he appeared to be in good physical shape, topped off with a pearly white smile. When I approached my friend and announced my presence, she jumped up and said she needed to hit the ladies room and asked that I sit with her machine. She claimed it was paying out and did not want to miss out on a potential jackpot. 

In her absence, McSteamy Soapstar, introduced himself as, "Brooks", and explained that he was in town from OKC on business. I shook his hand and told him my name, and told him he was in luck because I had some apparent magnet force that made everyone who sat next to me lucky, it just didn't work on myself. He hit the bet button, and to both of our dismay he won $300. I just looked over and said, "See, told ya." He smiled real big and said, "let's make a deal." My curiousity got the best of me and I asked him what he meant. He then preceeded to say, "I'll cash this ticket out, for $365.00 and give you the whole thing. However, you have to come up to my room with me. How does that sound?" Although I was in complete shock I responded with, "That sir, sounds like illegal prostitution. That could get us both put in jail." He lifted an eyebrow and said, Ök, tell ya what. We go to the room first, then I give you the ticket when we're done. "What about that?" Once again, I told him it still sounded like prostitution. Yet, he was unphased and followed me around for about an hour...trying to convince me, but also asking me about my ex-husbands and marriage. Finally, I sent him on his way after letting him know if he was going to convince a lady to come back to his room with him, he might stray away from conversations that remind her of how much she hates men. Good day, sir. I said, Good day!

Blah blah blacksheep

 Although my birth was amidst the rare blizzard that ensued on March 20, 1984, it created a different chaos for those I was was born to. My conception was an unwanted surprise to two individuals who came from very different backgrounds and who had only recently graduated high school and entered adulthood. It was evident early on that neither was ready for the challenges of parenthood, causing my father to take off and be absent for the first phase of my life. As a result, there is no father listed on my birth certificate and I was given my mother's maiden last name. It took a few years, but with the influence of his mother and prospective wife, he came around. However, in spite of his presence here and there, he was still mostly absent...physically and emotionally. It was clear that my mother harbored animosity towards him by her cold demeanor in his presence. She spoke very little to him or about him, especially if I was in earshot. In fact, I remember waiting for him to pick me u...

Who pee'd in the dating sespool?

 Seriously guys? I get it. Women are batshit crazy. Listen Linda, I've been on a few dates recently. We did not get that way on our own. Let me just recap a few of the dates I've been on in the more recent months.  Date 1: Picture this. I'm standing outside at the Hard Rock Casino, minding my own business. Suddenly there is breaking glass and yells. A man darts in my direction, stands directly next to me and says, "I don't know those people. I'm not with them, I'm with you, we are here together and we don't know those people." I laugh a little and respond with, "Well, I guess you're in the right place. That my friend, is alcohol abuse."I see the confusion on his face, so I go on to explain I work in mental health and substance abuse. He seems intrigued, asks if I'm single and for my phone number. I give it to him, but overhear his buddies giving him hell and let them know I gave him the wrong number anyways and re-enter the buildi...

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes....divorce.

 I think I have cracked the code to why women are crazy. I know what you're thinking...this bitch is the crazy one, but hear me out. Since a very early age, women are subject to a plethora of information regarding relationships. For instance, when we are very young we fall victim to the story lines of fairytales like Cinderella or Snow White. These are young women who have experienced multiple traumas, have lost hope in love and happiness, but in the end their 'Knight' comes swooping in on his big white horse and saves the day. Always a happy ending and always what sets the tone for our perception of relationships and what they should be like. As we grow older, we eventually come to the understanding that these are not based on true stories and the characters are fictional. However, that does not mean that we don't experience similar life events that sends our minds reeling back to these fairytale romances and hope the happy ending scenario will play out. The reality of...
