Never Satisfied

Hello Blogosphere!

 What should we talk about today? Oh I know, I reader posed a question to me the other day and I think it was a pretty good question. Let's see what you think?

 Why do we always want what we can't/don't have? The list of examples is exhaustive but how about these:

  1. A woman with straight hair complains that her hair just won't hold a curl. Wishes she was born with curly hair.
  2. A woman  with curly hair constantly complains about her wild curls . Wishes (you guessed it) for straight hair.
  3. Person with beautiful brown eyes wants blue eyes  - so they purchase colored contact lenses.
  4. Person with very little money wishes they were wealthy.
  5. Person with lots of money wishes they had less money - WAIT, really? Hmm...okay there was that song about "more money, more problems" so maybe that's it. 
These are all pretty good by the reader who posed the original question had something a bit different in mind. Their question was in reference to relationships. You know like when you see a single man or woman - maybe around the workplace -  and you've seen them a million times before and you've thought - "eh, they are KINDA cute". But so what, right? And then what happens? You see that same person out with their significant other and suddenly you realize OMFG they are hot!! Not just regular hot - oh no - we are talking THREE ALARM -  HADES IS JEALOUS OF THEIR FIRE hot!! Why? Because they are no longer available. You missed your chance (if you ever had one) and now that they are out of reach you want them!
 Is it the challenge they pose? You know the one that gets you thinking along the lines of "Hmm, maybe that guy/girl they are with isn't all that" I mean after all, there's you right? SMH, typical.

 You say "Nah, Mackgurl, I don't have that issue! That ain't me!" Okay, okay - how about this one. Why aren't we ever satisfied? I'm speaking in general terms here. No matter how much we have or how good of thing we have going we always want more

No? Still can't relate? So let's imagine you've been single for a while. Then you meet this really cute lady and get this -  she's ACTUALLY in to you! Yes really! Like THAT into you. GREAT! So you get together, find out you have a lot in common and start dating. Things are going well for a bit and then you start to notice some things. (uh oh) She isn't falling all over you like she used to. Or maybe she doesn't have dinner ready and waiting for you on the table like she used to. (She still cooks dinner but now you have to serve yourself.) Now, she's still cute, things are good financially but you're thinking "...MAAAANNNNN she's just missing something". Now the complaints start. "Why don't you do ______ like you used to? Why do I have to beg you for ____________ (a kiss people, sheesh you have dirty minds, lol)"
Worse - then you start noticing that girl you work with. How she always has a smile for you. SHE always listens to you (oh you mean  like at the office coffee machine? Heck, fool you were blocking her way to the KEURIG!! She had no choice!) Hmm, why didn't you notice how cute she was before? Why? Because you were single/available before and now you're not! Suddenly, she's Dante's Inferno, 12th level of Hell, HADES IS JEALOUS OF HER FIRE hot...get the picture?

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...
