With all of the technology we have today they can't come up with a better way to open a can of corn beef that doesn't involve amputating my thumb?

Tired and hungry and this bastard is eating Papa John's pizza right under my nose. Good thing I don't eat pizza...he is lucky his ass didn't get Chipolte or it would have been on carajo.

Kunduz, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Police in the northern Afghanistan province of Kunduz are looking for a man they say strangled his wife after she bore him a third child that was not a son.
Sher Mohammed, 29, married his 22-year-old wife, Storay, four years ago, police said.
The couple had three daughters, the last of whom was born three months ago, said Khanabad district police chief Sufi Habib. After the youngest daughter was born, Mohammed blamed his wife for not being able to deliver a boy, Habib said. "Finally on Saturday, the man, with the help of his mother, first beat the woman and then strangled her to death," the police chief said. Khanabad is about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Kunduz city. Police arrested the mother, Wali Hazrata, and detained her at the Kunduz city jail. But her son fled.
In a jailhouse interview, Hazrata said her son's wife committed suicide out of guilt.
"My son did not commit the crime," Hazrata said. "... But after three daughters, Storay herself felt guilty and committed suicide." The report comes weeks after Afghan police said they rescued a 15-year-old girl who was locked up in the basement of her in-laws' house, starved, and had her nails pulled out.
The girl, Sahar Gul, was married off to a 30-year-old man last year. Authorities in northern Baghlan province said the girl reportedly was tortured after she refused to submit to prostitution.
Activists say women continue to suffer in parts of Afghanistan despite overall progress since the fall of the Taliban. In the second quarter of last year, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) registered 1,026 cases of violence against women. In 2010, it recorded 2,700 cases.
In December, gunmen attacked and sprayed an Afghan family with acid in their home after the father rejected a man's bid to marry his teenage daughter. In another case, a 21-year-old, identified only as Gulnaz for her own protection, was sentenced to 12 years in prison after she reported that her cousin's husband had raped her. Her plight attracted international attention when it came out that she had agreed to marry her attacker to gain her freedom and legitimize a daughter conceived in the attack. She was eventually freed, following President Hamid Karzai's intervention. Horia Mosadiq, a London-based Afghan researcher for the rights group Amnesty International, said the abuse inflicted on Storay Mohammed is not an isolated instance. "Generally the human rights situation, and particularly women's rights, is deteriorating," she told CNN. "I am in constant contact with women's rights groups across the country, and they say they are seeing an increase in violence." This is in part because the Afghan government does little to implement or enforce the laws that protect women's rights, she said. She also sees it as a consequence of women across the country gaining greater awareness of their rights, which is leading both to a backlash from men and to more cases of violence being reported. On top of that, the Afghan government's move toward peace and reconciliation talks with the Taliban has led many people to think the current oppression of women will simply continue as it is, Mosadiq said. "We need to make sure that we protect the women -- it's so important that women's rights in Afghanistan are non-negotiable," she said. The alleged involvement of Storay Mohammed's mother-in-law in her abuse is not unusual, Mosadiq added, as women often play a role in violence against other women within the family, as do husbands, fathers and brothers. And there is a heavy cultural pressure to bear sons, who are viewed as the breadwinners, she said, with the birth of a daughter seen as a burden rather than something to celebrate. If the situation of Afghan women is to improve, Mosadiq said, a strong political will is needed at the government level, backed up by strong pressure from the international community. "Where (the international community) puts so much pressure and focus on a military solution, they should also think about the protection of the Afghan people and Afghan women," she said.

In memory of...
The only people who like funerals are the funeral directors and the millionaire widows left behind. With that said, I just returned from attending a funeral service for a very dear elderly woman that I had the pleasure of knowing for a short time. As I was listening to the speakers talk so kindly of her, deservedly, I started to think of my own funeral and what my family and friends would say about me…
They would not say things like….
"She always had a kind word to say and never spoke bad about anyone."
"She never complained."
"She lived each day to the fullest."
They would most likely say things like….
"She always knew she would go in some undignified way but I bet she is pissed it was on the crapper."
"She was a beautiful person who had kind words when her meds were working."
"Always had some smartass comment to make."
"That girl loved to get her sleep and eat on."
"If it was purple it was acceptable."
"If you owe her money she is still expecting you to pay her back – give it to one of the kids."
"Regardless if she went up or down, I hope there is a Starbucks because you know how she gets when she doesn't have coffee."
Thankfully, my friends and family love me for who I am regardless. <3

To implant or not to implant...
So, apparently Cameron Diaz had breast implants. My opinion is this - so friggin what! If I had a size "negative A nugget" I would totally boost up to a B/C. In fact if I had the money I would totally go under the knife. I don't think I would touch with my face (don't want to mess with perfection) but I would definitely get my body worked on (I think God got a little sleepy when he was working from my neck down.

Morning Commute
Nothing like the morning commute to make you feel like:
1. You experienced your first orgy - completely sober.
2. It is never to early to drink
3. Pulling a bitches hair (especially the one with the bad frost job and a big brown Marc Jacobs bag on the D).

Hold the Drama please!
"Drama - a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces."
It seems no matter how old, educated or wealthy someone is drama is bound to make an appearance in life. Whether it be with family, relationships, jobs or friendships.
It seems to stem from feelings of fear, hurt, insecurity or jealously caused by an action of someone or something. It grows with words connected with: he said/she said; I have to tell you something; and/or I heard.
I find that whether you look for it or not it can find you. The question is how does one avoid it when it arrives?
I ask myself:
1. How much of this is really about me?
2. Can I let this pass and go unaddressed (which usually depends on the amount of pride I have and how much the people involved matter to me)?
3. Will it make a difference in someones life if they know what I know?
4. Would I want to know if it where me?
5. Is it a life and death issue?
Sometimes, I feel grown up enough to walk away and other times I can easily get sucked into the feed but throughout it I make a conscious effort to accept my part in the role I played. Could I have handled this situation different and would it have made a difference?
Bottom line - when the credits go up acknowledge your role and hold yourself accountable for the choices you make and the actions you take.

What I have learned in 2011...
1. If you eat a lot you will gain weight.
2. Brushing your teeth does not necessarily mean you have fresh breath...use floss.
3. Bailey's is good all year round.
4. Stop blaming everything around you for your circumstances and be accountable for your shit.
5. It isn't that you don't know what you have until it is gone - it is that you never thought you would lose it (this doesn't apply to weight).
6. You are better than you give yourself credit for.
7. There are too many banks and not enough money.
8. Assholes and stupidity walk among us.
9. Sometimes it is better not to say anything (I have not yet mastered this).
10. Fat and ugly are not one word and don't go together nor do skinny and beautiful.
11. Music invigorates the soul.
12. Groupon.com is great.
13. There are some things that will never be forgotten (unless Alzheimer sets in).
14. Bitterness makes you ugly inside.
15. Soda is mentally addictive.
16. My friends and family are the best.
17. Listen to your instinct - it is there for a purpose.
18. Pay attention to what is going on in the world around you (no matter how depressing - this is something I really need to get working on).
19. Just because you think it is urgent doesn't mean it is.
20. Amazing people surround you - take notice.
Happy New Year!

Let the count down begin!!
Thursday, December 22, 2011
I am utterly disgusted with the amount of cuts the Department of Education & Mayor has made to NYC Public Schools across the board over the 5 boroughs. They grade teachers and students and yet continue to cut funding, expecting parents of low-middle income to carry the schools.
Every PTA meeting I attend has fund raising at the foreground - silent auction, bake sale, cookie swap, dollar drive, rummage, etc....At a PTA meeting I attended last night we actually applauded because someone donated a box of paper to the schools covered in our district. That is some bullshit. The DOE might as well have our educators drawing math problems on the dirt outside with a stick.
ATTENTION DOE & POWERS THAT BE - FIND ANOTHER WAY TO BALANCE YOUR BUDGET!
Every damn year for the past I don't even know how many years the budget goes down at the very least another $20,000. I am figuring the DOE is currently giving each school $32.50 for the entire school year.
STOP IT ALREADY! Parents - it is time to make some noise and not accept these cuts as an option. The wheels are turning so stay tuned.

Hi folks!
Been a little busy this month and haven't had any brilliant thoughts to write about - as if all my other post are brilliant - smh...I digress. I was hoping to have Random Ish & Other Nonsense out by Christmas but it looks like it will be in January (fingers crossed).
I have had a blessed year and I am very fortunate to have such amazing people in my life. I want to thank you for dropping in on my blog and reading my posts and truly hope that it has brought some laughter into your life.
I want to wish all of you and your families a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and Season's Greetings for those who don't. Remember to pick and choose your battles and make sure they are worth fighting for. May your family and loved ones be blessed and may the ones who are no longer on earth stay alive in your hearts and continue to watch over you and give your strength.
I can't take credit for this pic but I loved it so I wanted to share.
See you next year.

Luis Hernandez
Ok - so when I was 16 ish I dated this guy named Luis Hernandez. We worked together at the SoL. Anyway, Luis liked me more than I liked him and I didn't treat him very nicely. I always said to myself that if I ever ran into him on the train or in the street I would apologize for being the heffa I was. However, I have not run into him nor can I find him on FB...let's face it - this isn't an uncommon name.
So, with that said, I am posting on my blog a message to Luis Hernandez who worked at the SoL, lived in Brooklyn (I think Bay Ridge - I remember the L train), was tall and had light eyes. He probably graduated in 1988/89 as he was a year or 2 younger than me (can you be a cougar at the age of 16?). He had a younger sister and use to hang out with a guy named Eric who also worked with us.
Dear Luis:
I am sorry that I was a bitch. You didn't deserve to be treated the way I treated you. I know we were young but I often think of what I would have done differently. You were a nice guy. I hope life has been good to you and your family.

Solicitation.
"So, Miss/Mr. [insert name here] - can I put you down for a SMALL contribution of $50.
First of all there is nothing small about a $50. That is at least 2 rounds of drinks for me and my girls during happy hour.
I, as much as everyone else, understand that times are hard. The holidays are coming and there are so many people and children that will go without. With that said, I suggest you make sure your organization is a damn good one before you call me and ask for money. In fact don't bother - I will donate where I deem fit which will not include: the bus, the train, any street corner, in front of Rite Aid while you are opening the door or a telephone call from someone who acts like they have known me for years yet can't pronounce my name.

20
I think 20 is a nice number. It is a nice age, looks good when you receive one in a card and even is a good quantity to have of something....and when I say something I mean things like shoes or purses NOT KIDS. Are you serious? I swear that after 4 kids (I only have 2 personally) if my husband would have so much as looked at me with a spark in his eye those very eyes would be served to him on a platter. I mean after 6 kids how are you not carrying around your uterus in a back pack or pushing it in a shopping cart. Is it even normal for married couples to have sex that many times?
Bob Duggar's sperm should request overtime pay and may even have a unfair labor practice case against him. As far as Michelle Duggar's eggs go...might I recommend non dairy.

Can you cook?
Why would a guy ask a girl he is trying to hook up with "can you cook?"
What does that have to do with the price of milk? Whether I can or can't is irrelevant because if we go out we are going to a restaurant. You just shot to shit any chance you had of me even offering to make you a bowl of cereal. Get the F out of here with that BS neanderthal caveman way. The question is "can you give me 3 O's while fixing the sink and painting the kitchen?" That's right - multi task.

Text Break Up...
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with going out on a date, waiting to get home and then texting the person (providing you have exchanged numbers) and saying "um, I had a nice time BUT I am not feeling you."
Unless you have been in a relationship for over a year actually living together (long distance or seeing each other once a week doesn't count UNLESS you are in the military or being detained for "alleged" illegal activity) or you have kids together (that you see or speak to on a regular - if your ass is in DR and your wife and kids have been in New York for over 6 months it is not considered together, I don't care what the certificate says) there is nothing wrong with getting a text break up. For those who say it is the cowards way out I say this. "Who cares?" The message needed to get delivered - whether through text, e-mail, blimp across the sky, poster board or a tattoo on my ass - I am not feeling you OR it is over - done.
