80% is What You Do

20% is what fate has in store for you.

I am suffering a few minor setbacks when it comes to playing catch up and saving for my university future.

80% is what I can handle, what happens or does not happen because of me.

Then there is the pesky 20% - no matter how hard I apply myself, no matter how hard I try to get where I am going - a mile long road block hits and I am stuck.

Faced with having to turn around and find another way.

I could be unconventional and go off the beaten path and work in camouflage hiding myself from that 20% fate but it will soon catch up with me.

So what is a Blonde to do?

Watch sappy John Hughes films today, wash the crusted hairball off my duvet, play virtual host to HCG protocol confused...

and keep on...

keeping on!!

Its too damn hot to push through that road blocks today, anyway.


The Blonde is 100% glad its Friday!!

Unattainable Dreams

How many times can I be lead up a mountain, to be shown everything I want and work so hard to get...

"Here, here is your dream, laid out for you. Try to reach out and grab it."

And just as a reach out to grab it with all my might,

A gust of my reality whips up under my feet and thrusts me back down the mountain.

How many times must i be told by the powers that be...

I can't have it, no matter how hard I try.

When do I break?

When do I say...

Enough is enough!

1 year?

5 years?

10 years?

Am I cursed?

If this life is only a lesson to learn from a past life than I am done.

I don't feel it really should continue.

There is karmic retribution for past sins and than there is just fucking abuse by the Gods.

I am going to keep beating down the doors until I have exhausted everything.

But I do feel its totally acceptable to cash in my lessons and move on to another life within 5 years of this one.

Its a date with destiny...

5 years from now on my birthday...if life keeps handing me raw deals...

I will know I tried my hardest and will have no regrets to carry with me in the next life.

Surviving a life is not a life worth living!!

The BLonde will set her own agenda!

Bumble the Blonde

I was going to write a little diddy on chemistry.com and eharmony.com but something caught my attention at the local HEB grocery store today.

Bumble and Bumble hair products run $45 a bottle on sale. The sales clerk said its flying off the shelves. I hardly believe that when there is a sale on the couture hair products. Things that command that price and fly off the shelf stay at the chosen rip-off price.

But I have to say "hail to Bumble and Bumble" and to those that can afford a shampoo for $50. It shows me that not everyone is effected by the recession or poor job market.

I wonder if I made boo-coo bucks, would I buy the Bumble schlep?

I buy Infusium for $5 and when i read the ingredients of both products- my brand had all the ingredients as the Bumble and Bumble minus a root extract.

Out of curiosity, I might by the Bumble brand but more for novelty and armed with a biased opinion, I probably would not find it so fabulous and continue with my Infusium products.

But God Bless those insecure folks that thrive on paying big dollar to feed their need to be better than everyone else.

The Blonde is more humble than bumble!

Getting around with Meetup.com

Internet dating has become a plethora of grossness.


Its really become the club that was hot at one time but the fugly crowd got a hold of it and the cool peeps stopped showing up.

That's internet dating.

So how does the good crowd find people to meet?

The cool new place is meetup.com

You join a club of interest and you show up to outings and hopefully, eventually there might be a mate for you.

Personally don;t use it as a hook-up site, you will just end up ruining its intent.

Have fun in the club without looking for someone and you will start enjoying being by yourself, having fun with men and women, and you will loose the desperate tag that's been dangling off your aura.

Finding someone has come full circle and its not the bars or the web. Days of posting your age and salary, sifting through lies and false advertisements are left for the seedy crowd.

I noticed match.com went back to letting you surf the profiles without adding yours. A sure sign that they are on the outskirts and headed the way of myspace--if their lucky.

At least myspace has cool independent bands to listen to.

I personally only sign up for the ones that are special invitation but I am very careful about who I surround myself with because I am not a great judge of character and I need a virtual bouncer protecting me.

The Blonde found a new route to take!

Housewives of New York

I know many people call the housewives show a waste of time but i think its an excellent source of information regarding what to look out for in women friends.

I could take years of psychology courses and still not have the insight like this show has provided. Granted the women stir up conflict to benefit their face time on the shows and you have to take most of it with a martini and swallow hard.

But some of it, if you pay attention may see some characteristics or behavior in your own friends and will think twice next time when trusting them carte blanche.

Women seem to gravitate to a certain person in the group based on their certain situations at the time.

I probably would hang out with Kelly and bag the other wenches. Yes Kelly is an odd bird but she is not spiteful. Her little weird tirades are more or less for the face time.

Sonya...not at all...you are who you hang with and that is not who I want to be.

Countless....I like her, she is having fun and she gives appropriate digs when warranted.

Jill would bully me on everything and I would end up going in her direction and not the direction I want for myself.

Ms Kansas and Simon just freak me out. They are super creepy.

And the new chick...she has young kids and I am way passed my 'Mommie and me" friends.

And last but not least, Ms. Pino Grigio..if she is pregnant..gross!! 54 is not only ridiculous age to have a child but she is clearly doing it out of fear of losing her husband and that is never a good thing.

Right Martha?

I have tried to get with the jersey chicks but they are so harsh in mannerism...ughh!! I rather watch Dog the Bounty Hunter.

If I were doing women studies, they Housewives would be my thesis.

The Blonde rather be a lover!
