Goodbye September

So now it's October and if you know me, you know that my birthday is creeping up. The 28th birthday and you know what means? Absolutely nothing!

I'm not trying to say that nothing fun is going to happen because I am usually hanging out with a group of friends on my birthday. I can't help it, I guess it has to do with the fact that I never had birthday parties when I was younger. Not even a sweet 16. But before you "aww" and pity me, let me tell you, I wasn't really sweet during that time...lol. So why perpetuate a lie? lol!

Oh wait, I've been meaning to tell you all this but for some reason September has been filled with reflection so I didn't get a chance to come here. I guess I'm tired of reflecting...I mean, you think and think and think some more...I've gotten headaches, I've been depressed, I've been confused...man....reflection SUCKS. Well I'm tired of reflecting!!! I know it's an artistic thing to do but sheesh I have put a limit on it like I can only reflect once a week or something...lol.

Anyways did you know that September is Menopause Awareness month? Yes! It is! I learned that on Lifetime (and no I don't really watch that channel). Are you aware about menopause? I became aware of it when I was in college. Not because I had it but because in the wintertime my brother and I would go to sleep in a comfortably warm house only to wake up to sub-zero temperatures thanks to menopause. And let's not even talk about the hormone shifts. Sheesh!

So yes, I am aware but it sucks to be aware when you are a chick because that means you are staring into your future. Menopause here I come in 30 years. 30 years isn't long enough if you ask me. I dun wanna go through menopause!!!! It doesn't look fun at all. Those commercials where you see women with menopause dancing around or taking long walks are a LIE! They are there to make younger women like me think that menopause is cool...But it's NOT! It so sucks being a woman. You would think that because we have kids we could get a break somewhere...

Why can't men have menopause? It's named after them it only seems fitting. I mean I know I'm not suppose to blame her but I truly believe that this is all Eve's fault! Sheesh, why couldn't she get Adam to bite the fruit first? If that happened then men would be the ones cursed with their monthly menses and menopause while we would be chillin! I doubt they would have children but I believe that childbirth for us would be easier...MUCH easier (not speaking from experience here).

And some guys have the nerve to complain about the fact that women can get into certain establishments and have free drinks. I ask WHY NOT?! After all the crap that we go through we deserve a free dance and drink (make mine a diet coke no ice please)!

I honestly started this blog at 10 am while waiting for a friend to say hi on yim (thanks for standing me up ya jerk!). I had to log out and handle some business so now it's 6:43 pm and I am confused. What was this blog about? I don't know...

I guess it's time to end it before I go off on a tangent or a rant. What's the difference you ask? Well you will find out tomorrow if you read this bad boy again!

Until then humble and cocky readers (you know which group you belong to)...

Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!

That was an interesting rant. I'd comment, but I get the feeling this isn't a "point-counterpoint" rant but a rant-rant.
