x-mas is stupid

I hate the holidays. They are made for couples. Dating couples or cute old married people or families with little kids. Everything has that warm cuddly feeling – which is great if you have a significant other…or a puppy. Sadly, I have neither. As I was reveling in my sorrows in the Publix checkout line, it occurred to me that instead of being a depressed poopy-head, I should think about and truly appreciate the things that I do have. So, I decided to make a list…

1. Two parents that love me (though sometimes begrudgingly)
2. A brilliant younger brother who always keeps in touch
3. An amazing best friend who, though far away, is always there for me
4. Great new friends who listen to me over-analyze and help me scheme
5. Malibu Bay Breezes
6. Enough money to put food on the table and a roof over my head
7. A great rack and three beautiful new Victoria’s Secrets bra and panty sets
8. I’m in law school and 1 semester closer to making my dreams come true!
9. A brain that works (most of the time)
10. A wonderful roommate who can put up with my mess!
11. I haven’t gotten sick yet this year (knock on wood)
12. “Cold” in Florida = 60 degrees!!!
13. A car that works
14. Mr. Dependable
15. AA batteries

Feel free to help me think of more things I should be thankful for!!!

Why is there so much hatred? Where does it come from? Your father was a man, did he beat you? Your brother is a man, does he beat you? I think you could better help women and humanity in general by stop ranting and start volunteering. Volunteer at women's crisis shelters, instead of talking about it. Start helping to make the world a better place instead of continuing to contribute to its demise by spreading such hate filled words. You ask why the question why don't men find you attractive. I have seen your picture, you are very attractive. However, you may discover what men find most revulsive about you isn't your body, it's nice. It isn't your face, it's beautiful. The very mouth that shows your intelligence and wit also shows your hate filled ugly side. No man, or for that fact, no woman would want to put up with this. I think in legal terms it may be called "Verbal Abuse!" Learn to look at and appreciate another's perspective, even if it is vastly different from your own. Remember, you are attractive, but attractiveness is also in the way you conduct yourself and your thoughts.

anonymous.... it's my blog. I will rant and bitch and hate all I want to. If you don't like it, don't read it. Personally, I find it thereputic. Do I always have a consistent level of man-hate in my heart? No. Generally, a post coincides with a particular mood or feeling. I get it out and then I feel better. All this particular post said that revealed my "hate-filled ugly side" was that I don't like the holidays. Lost of single people don't like holidays. "Attractivness is the way I conduct myself and my thoughts?" Forgive me if you find this unattractive - fuck off.

LMFAO!!! You're the best Mims! Why DOES anonymous leave you nasty comments??? I think anonymous is perhaps a little distraught that perhaps you don't like HIM (yes, my gut instinct tells me anonymous is in fact, a male which only explains why he is so offended by your... "verbal abuse") GET OVER IT BUDDY!!!! I FOR ONE LOVE WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY!!!
