Dear Mackgurl - My Right Went Left

Dear Mackgurl,

 I hope you are doing alright and staying safe with all this pandemic/COVID19 stuff. I'm going to jump in cause I really need your advice or opinion on this situation. So ok um, because I've had close to ZERO luck or success with love and dating in general I decided to try something a little different. It's not THAT different but for me it was - online dating. See the commercials made it seem fairly easy and everyone was smiling and meeting their SOULMATES (rolls eyes). My friends laughed at me when I told them I was going to make an online dating profile. A few of them even said I was dumb/crazy for doing it. "You don't know these men - they can pretend to be anyone online..." But I figured, I'm an adult so why not give it a shot?

So, I set up my profile including a fairly good picture and waited, swiped left on some that were a no go - swiped right on some that peaked my interest. Then I waited some more and then suddenly like magic HE messaged me! We matched! He was sooooo handsome and seemed to have his life together, but just lacking a mate. I was like okkkkkkk. We chatted through the app and then moved to actual phone calls. Then here comes COVID19 just as we were about to (hopefully) have our first in person meet up at a coffee shop or over dinner - you know a real date. But as apocalyptic as this COVID mess was sounding with all it's stay at home orders and stuff, I was like, well this isn't going to happen. 

 But he didn't stop calling much to my surprise. Problem was every call started to become centered around one question from him "When are you coming to see me?" I was like umm, What? Nothing's open - no restaurants, no coffee shops, where will we go? What would we do? HE responded "my place...we can watch a movie here" 👀👀👀 I said no, rather not do that for the first meeting. What about doing an online virtual date? Girl, do you know he BLOCKED ME? Unfriended me AND blocked me but not before saying - via text message - "good luck finding a lame ass dude that would waste his time with that ish...wish you well" WHAT???!!! Mackgrul, IDEK how to feel about this...pissed...hurt...?? Was I wrong? Did I ask too much? 

 Signed,
Disappointed Denise

 Aww DD, don't be blue!

 Okay, I will try to keep this brief - gonna be tough though cause I've been right where you are. Jumped - okay maybe I tiptoed - into the online dating scene. I thought perhaps it's not so bad after all, especially after I found someone I thought was cool and interesting and handsome and this is not about me (my bad). But sheesh you actually found someone you figured was worth talking to, getting to know...and then here comes this heifer aka COVID19. Now Prince Charming is all and ONLY about getting you to his please for some Net-ahem, COUCH & CHILL!! Ugh, what happened to romance? Seriously, somebody bring it back PLEASE!!! You know if he'd agreed to the virtual date you'd be grinning from ear to ear telling me about how he had dinner delivered to both you, how you picked out a movie to watch - together BUT online (Hello social distancing...). Maaaaaaan, that would be SWEET, thoughtful and dare I say ROMANTIC?  BUTTTTT that didn't happen and you asked my opinion on what you should do/feel...alright, here goes:

 BE GRATEFUL!!! Damn near JUBILENT, even! He showed you the extent of his interest or lack thereof BEFORE you wasted anymore of your valuable time and bandwith on this joka! I have to say, the way he did it was beyond childish, happened to me too...SMDH but I digress.. At the end of the day, you dodged a bullet, sis! Doesn't mean you give up because you swiped right when he was definitely a left swipe type-a dude. So smile and fix your crown, Queen...you never know - your King may be watching...


Love,
Mackgurl

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...

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? ...

Lessons Learned

You know, some people are just born lucky. No wait- hear me out! There are those people who could eat their weight in pizza and burgers and never gain an ounce...or worse, lose a pound or two. There are those people who can read a book once- cover to cover, mind you - and be able to site it word for word, down to the page the section came from. (Wouldn't that be a nifty skill to have around exam time?) There are those people who always seem to have the best EVERYTHING - families, jobs, homes, cars, wardrobes, dogs, friends, parking spaces! The list is endless. And there are those who for whatever reason, they never seem to encounter a time when things truly go wrong. Am I one of these people? Do any of the above fit the description of my life? With the exception of having the best family - cause let's face I do - nope. And is that okay? No, it's GREAT! If life was perfect, with no ups and downs, goodness how boring would that be? What stories would I have to tell ...
