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...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign?  "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE"   If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...
