If there were a "man store"

Wouldn't it be magical if there were a store where people could shop for their potential partner!? I mean, how wonderful would it be to have life's assholes already labeled for you. No more surprises or "oh shiiiit" moments,because hey, they would be labeled that way. I mean, lets say you like the good guys, they will have to have a clean track record before they can enter, five or less sexual partners....if not...he gets the boot. Wouldn't that make life so much more simplistic? Or those scary ex girlfriends you've had? WHo needs em? They can't enter if they have looked through their previous lovers phones or have the password to their facebook account. Done. I think at times dating is impossible, but hey, what would we have to talk about if we werent venting about the crazies? haha I guess life is just like that. If there ever happens to be a launch on the boyfriend/girlfriend store though, Id put a down payment on it.

Post Secret

I just went to the postsecret event at my campus arts center and I can't help but feel conflicted. It was a very powerful presentation of peoples secrets exposed. Some students shared being raped. Others confessed they hated themselves. I was shaken by their bravery, but also in awe of human nature. We all want to connect. We all want to feel as though we have something in common with someone. We always feel as though we are alone in our problems, but the reality is, we all have problems. Not a single person is perfect. All of us have secrets. I am an upfront person. I share what I know and what I feel and so entering this event, I could not think of anything to share because I said "I have no secrets". To my surprise, after hearing from others, suppressed things began to come back. I actually have many secrets. The most lie within my own denial of my inner truths that I have pushed aside. How did these people find the courage to share their innermost insecurities with two thousand people? I think deep down we all want to feel our existence. We want to be acknowledged. It is a very courageous act to share such things. Its a bravery I may never know.

Why don't you pick up the phone and call me?
