Why oh why is the moon not made of cheese? It's probably better that it isn't cause I'd be booking a ticket to the moon just to take a bite. Why is it if a man has a few extra pounds on him, he's fluffy, plump, round, chubby, ect. Now if a female has a few extra pounds added to her, all hell breaks loose. You'd think she hit the six o'clock news. It seems everyone has to comment on it and I'm not talking about people being subtle. You don't hear "oh, she's fluffy, plump or chubby". People go straight for the "Damn she's fat", or "Oh, that fat chick". Now children can be pleasantly plump or cherub, and a man can be big and cuddley. But with women there's a whole different guideline. There is no in between there is either skinny or fat. Most women struggle with their weight their whole lifes. We are either keeping track of every morsel of food that goes into our mouths or we are binge eating and feeling guilty and depressed later. Every New Years Eve we make our resolutions and promise that this year we will diet and eat healthy and lose those extra pounds we've been carrying around. Then somewhere around March we lose interest or we get burnt out. We dive into that chocolate cake that we've been depriving ourselves of and with each bite the echo of the word "fat" doesn't seem to cut as deeply as before. Then the guilt starts to set in with the thought of summer, bikini's, and skimpy clothes. And there we are again making promises and sometimes even a few threats that we are definetly going to start eating better, excercising, and lose weight. So there we are again sweating at the gym and eating rabbit food. And what do you know here it comes around the corner Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Let the feasting begin. Now I know I really don't need to tell you what happens from there. But hell at least you've got New Years to look forward to and the not so new New Year's resolution.

Valentine's Day

You either love it or hate it. You love it cause your in love, or a romantic, or you are just in love with love. As for hating Valentine's Day, well thats a pretty loaded subject. If your in love Valentine's Day will more than likely go smooth and sweet for you. Now, if you have no special someone things can be alittle bit more tricky. You kind of have to turn things around to your benefit. Use your imagination. You are definetly not the only person alone on Valentine's Day. But you should take advantage of the benefits of being single and alone. I know it seems like there are nothing but lovey dovey couples as far as the eye can see,but thats not exactly true. First off, hiding at home scarfing away a box of chocolates while watching romantic movies is going to get you nowhere. You have to put yourself out there. There are soooo many guys out there alone and bummed cause its Valentine's Day and they are alone. So those are who your gonna want to take advantage of. You can find them just about anywhere. All you gotta do is throw them a line. What I mean is really quite simple. Let's say your in the store and you see a guy pushing his shopping cart around looking alittle bummed or lost or just looking. Don't chase him around the store just happen to be going down the same isle as him and ask him a question. It doesn't have to be anything major, just something like "hey, do you know where the wine coolers are? "It sucks being alone on Valentine's Day" (give sad look). Now there's his cue to jump start the convo. Now if he doesn't move on to your next victim. You can pretty much adjust this ploy anyway you want. I mean you don't want to start a coversation with a guy that you see carrying flowers or in search of a box of chocolate. Because its pretty obvious he's not buying them for himself. Most men if they are alone on Valentine's Day they are feeling just as bummed as you are. And they've probably played all the senarios in there little heads of what they'd do if the had a date. This is where its to your advantage to look your best. I mean look ready to go out if your asked, cause it is only one day. Most men don't enjoy being alone on Valentine's Day either. I mean if they invite you out use your good judgement. But most guys will be on they best behavior on this day and want to impress you. Also, it does wonders for there ego and story telling, of how they met someone on Valentine's Day. So you can either spend Valentine's Day with a box of chocolates infront of the T.V. in your jammies. Or you can sieze the day. Just remember Alone does not have to mean Lonely.
