The List Volume XXII

By Kirsten|October 8th, 2010|The List|

Let’s make it quick and painless, people. It’s been a long week and shawty needs a drank!

Everybody (including Subway) jumping on the Twitter train. NO ONE cares what you ate for breakfast.
Commercials that make no sense. What are you selling? Floors? Birds? Peanut butter? I can’t tell… but I’m hungry now.
Kim Kardashian pretending that was the FIRST time she got Botox… C’mon girl…
The Kardashians tackifying NYC. Ugh. Stay in LA where you belong. Hell, I’ll even throw in Miami for you. akdjf;klsdjf;akdjf. I can’t even. Your outfits. GGHJIOHJKBHSDFBKS.
Brittney Jones. Shut. Up.
Flavored coffe. It’s just bullshit. I mean, really.
Fantasy football. Let’s be serious, this is just a less intellectual version of Dungeons and Dragons.
Wannabe nerds. We GET it. The Social Network was great (though far from fact). I bet the real nerds of the world are PISSED.
The people who vote against my fashion faux pas each and every single time… You know who you are.
People who leave garbage in the elevator. WTH?

Bartender, tequila on the rocks.

What Are You Hiding?

By Kirsten|August 25th, 2010|Why Did You Date Him?|

Yesterday on the drive to work, we tuned into the Ryan Seacrest show. The topic for this particular morning was a woman who had been dating a man for over a year and had yet to ever see his home. Um? He told her that he was fixing it up and remodeling it but did not want her to see it until it was totally perfect. Um?

They tried to trick him by calling and telling him he’d won free flowers and they could send the flowers to anyone he’d like. He requested to have them sent to the girl who called in with her concerns. Hm… So what was going on?

I mean, Ryan almost lost his %^&$ on this guy and I was right there with him. It just doesn’t make any sense as to why his “girlfriend” would not be permitted to see his home. It’s been over a YEAR. The gentleman insisted that he is just a very “private” person. Why this young lady was tolerating the situation is so far beyond me. Not only would I have not been okay with this, my antennas would have gone up. Does she have no access to a computer? A little internet stalking sure would do her some good. A couple swipes through Google, Twitter, and Facebook and she would have cracked the case by now. If all else failed, why would she not have just followed him “home” one day?

After a bit, Ryan opened up the phone lines to take some calls from listeners. One guy called in and said that obviously the man is cheating. Another woman called to say she had been through something very similar and lo and behold, the man was married. Finally, another woman called in and said she was in the SAME situation and that it was totally okay. What? %*^$!!??

This got me to wondering WHY on earth women tolerate such things? How desperate must you be to accept such crappy excuses? What do you guys think?

My vote? He’s a sociopath who lives in a meth lab with his mother and wife (which is obviously totally normal).

The List Volume XVI

By Kirsten|August 20th, 2010|The List|

And the lists just keep on coming…

Apartments with windows looking directly into other people’s windows. No sir, I do not want to see your naked bod.
Overpaid frauds. Wait, what? How did you get this job?
Announcing you’re location via Facebook. If you have to tell us you’re “at Soho House” I’m likely to believe you don’t get to go there often. This is Facebook, not Foursquare.
The city of Vernon, CA.
Oversharing. Don’t forget, “Less is more.”
Tattletales.
Shoes that are too big. You look like a little girl dressing up in mom’s clothes.
Glamour’s 20 Sexiest Men. Um, who are these people in the top 5?
Rachel Zoe.
Time differences.

WhyDid Wisdom: A Bag Full of Shit

By Kirsten|August 6th, 2010|WhyDid Wisdom|

As we made our way up Runyon for the second time the other evening, we spied a plastic bag full of doggy doo. Hm… I understand that you are to clean up after your pooch, but wouldn’t you say that leaving it IN a plastic bag is worse than just leaving the doo right where it is? I should say so. While stinky and potentially hazardous to the bottom of your shoe, at least the naked doggy doo will eventually decompose as it would in nature and disappear as opposed to wrapping up the stinky doo in a pretty plastic bag and leaving it to sit and rot and never biodegrade.

This led me to thinking about people and their relationships. Why, oh why, can’t some people just seem to let things die? Why must they insist on wrapping up their doo doo in plastic bags and leaving it to fester?

Sometimes, people have a difficult time letting things go, and this is understandable, but, for those of you who just can not seem to get the point, I’d like to send you a copy of He’s Just Not That Into You. Painful as it may be, at times, it is best to just walk away with your head held high and dignity still in tact. So many times, we try and argue with the outcome and in reality, it’s never going to change anything.

Many bloggers and media personalities like to exploit their relationships publicly. I’m not exactly sure whether it’s in attempt to lure their lost lover back or just to draw more sympathy. Either way, it merely ends up making said individuals look sad and desperate. (Neither of which is particularly appealing to the opposite sex). If they were smart, they’d lay low on the love front. For example, I’ve clearly got quite the arena for blowing up all of my ex’s spots if I so choose to. However, I find this to be a little tacky and I prefer a bit of mystique around my personal life (if I even have one). I mean, to each his own. We’ve all go to pay the bills, and if that’s how you’ve got to drive traffic or to score a date, then so be it.

That being said, even people in every day life do the same thing. They broadcast inane details via Facebook and Twitter in an attempt to sound like they are “having such a blast!!” and are “soooo over you!!” when in reality, a little bit of silence would do you some good. Bloggers are making a living from it, but what are you gaining?

Why not just let the poo disintegrate? Why wrap it up in a plastic bag if you’re going to leave it behind? Maybe it’s best to let a sleeping dog lie. Tiptoe out the backdoor and let him drool.

WhyDid Wisdom: WhyDid Unplugged

By Kirsten|July 29th, 2010|WhyDid Wisdom|

Once while home visiting my mom in West Virginia, she nearly threw my Blackberry at my head a la Naomi Campbell because I just would not/could not put it down. She was frustrated that I was constantly tapping away on it and not listening to her (little does she know that I am capable of two things at once!). I do, however understand her concern. I was being a bit obnoxious about it.

So when my phone conveniently fell into the toilet the last time I was home, my mom was secretly elated. (I wouldn’t be surprised if she paid off that toilet to trip me so I’d drop my phone). After that whole “rice” suggestion not really panning out, I was sitting around without a phone until my replacement was shipped. As mentioned, her computer is from 1999 and her home is not equipped with Wifi. Sigh. What’s a girl to do? How on earth was I going to keep up with Twitter updates and update my Facebook status?

We are an incredibly overstimulated society. There are far too many distractions for us. Family dinners are nearly non existent and the ones that are usually are drowned out by the garble on TV. Kids are being diagnosed left and right with ADD when they really are probably just overstimulated with all the Hannah Montana and Dora the Explorer going on. No one remembers how to pick up the phone anymore let alone pen a handwritten letter. We don’t even use full words anymore. “C U L8R!”

It’s so very easy to get caught up in our little social bubbles that we forget to just be totally quiet. When’s the last time you really had a moment to yourself? Complete peace and quiet?

I suggest taking an entire afternoon or even a weekend if you can muster up the courage to completely unplug and disconnect with the outside world so that you can re-connect with yourself. I’m willing to bet that the world will carry on as normal with or without your BBM’s.
