Thanks for breaking my heart Susan…

Just read an article from CBS News that breaks my heart… Susan G Komen one of the largest movements in the fight against breast cancer has recently decided to cut ties with Planned Parenthood.

If you were unaware Planned Parenthood performs nearly 750,000 breast exams each year, critical services in detecting cancer.” And a large portion of last year’s $680,000 in funding from Susan G. Komen goes specifically to the exams and helping other breast health services.

At the end of the day the SGK foundation is free to choose who they care to invest their money, time, and energy into. Its just unfortunate that women who utilize Planned Parenthood’s services are often not able to seek medical assistance elsewhere.

But the real fight here isn’t about political influence or funding battles it is against cancer and other critical women’s health issues.

Use this media attention as a reminder to take the time to schedule yourself a mammogram.

And if you feel extra passionate about those affected from the cut take a few dollars and donate to help give another Woman the chance to have access to early detection.

What I’m looking for…

The past weekend was a harsh realization that no matter how hard you may try to love and make everything perfect for someone else if they do not have the desire to satisfy your emotional needs then you are existing in a delusional one-sided relationship. At some point you look up and realize the row boat has been going in circles for far to long and you have to just jump alone into the chilly water.

After spending so much time and energy trying to cater to what others wanted I found myself unsure if I had any desires of my own. Now after a crash course in reality I realized what my heart has known all along…

I want this…


Eyes locked with magic in the air. It wasn’t just the phenomenal camera or photographer that makes this my favorite photo, its the way I remember feeling. Absolute bliss and happiness.

I want this…
Inspiration. It had been a few years since I could remember myself smiling so much. Mentally ignited in ways that can not truly be explained this is just a glimmer of the possibility I look forward every day.

I want this…

More time with loved ones. Laughing, dancing, talking about everything under the sun.

I want this…
Attention. Parties. And fun.
Nothing feels as good as making other people happy while a little bit of creativity, tequila, and celebration excitement.

I want this…


Honesty. Having the ability to say things I may not want to hear because you know I need to hear it. Along with not lying because no matter how intelligent you maybe trusting my intuition is far more credible than believing another’s spoken words.

But above all I want this…

A family that is as amazing as mine.
That I could spend the weekend with and would feel as if I had always been a part of their lives. That we could share cooking stories with and even go on a tour the whole time feeling at home.

So universe, :) I understand this maybe asking for a lot but have faith that you will send someone great.

The illogical reasoning behind female’s decision making. Lesson 101

Modern Twenty Something Girls are complicate. We’re emotional, volatile, intelligent, and yet make illogical decisions that makes perfect sense… to us. Most of our gender also likes the color pink which is a pretty awkward handicap in life. In an attempt to help the rest of the world understand why we are so adorable and yet unpredictably retarded at times I have been working on creating a cheat sheet to help you help us get what we want. @OrMaybe just take advantage of us in an illogical way that makes sense to us!

Lesson 101:  Lesser of the two evils.

Take an average night out for dinner. The modern twenty-something female would overlook ordering a molten chocolate cake, but an extra martini of equal calorie value? “Waiter, another round please… go ahead and make that two.” We can justify being a drunk mess because we have already faced one round of adversity, chocolate temptation, and after meeting a small amount of success, “I said no! good for me!”, the logical progression is to reward ourselves.

In some insane way when we refuse one desired item we feel the need to overindulge in another. Say for instance you are at a party on Saturday night and someone offers you a line of blow, and you’ve been craving said illicit drug for weeks but for whatever logical intelligent reason you talk yourself out of it. And then for being such a champion of your interior moral compass you will sleep with your ex-boyfriend’s best friend. Nothing wrong with that, in fact we salute you for the free workout and stress reliever you just incurred for less than a mani/ped!

Because when females fight those inner urges and repress something they desire the elephant is really just moved into another room. We need to compensate. “I just turned down some enormously huge bad thing, now I feel the compulsive need to do something a little bad.” It’s a power struggle.

But the odds of going to dinner, refusing cake AND refusing a nice fruity drink?, chances are were going to go home and cry. Yup, that’s right. We need to release the bottled up illogical emotion that we call sin. And who better to present these moral conundrums for us than the hot guy at our side?  

Now gentlemen, this is how we need your help aka how you use this illogical information for your own personal gain. Give her the easy way out and she will never feel guilty or repressed again. Say she’s been complaining nonstop about how her boobs aren’t as big as Heidi Klums. First, suggest she get a boob-job. Any self respecting girl will giggle it off as “oh No, I can’t do that” but fifty bucks says if you get her a Victoria Secret Gift Card with “Better than Plastic Surgery” written on the front she will rock your bed like a runway.

So remember sometimes placing a big evil in front of a little lady will lead her right into your slightly less evil plan.

Does this make sense? No? Awesome. Finally a niche to call my own!

If you have more illogical but completely reasonable female rationalizations feel free to email them to ormaybemail@gmail.com. I will be posting more lessons in the weeks to come.

Jon Ray taught me how to hate men

If Jon Ray taught me anything about emotional warfare, you must immediately post pictures of you with smoking hot girls/guys to make your ex jealous. If you are snuggling or they happen to be kissing your neck ah-may-zing. The point is post break up to go out and have the time of your life. Now if that happens to involve hate f*ng a lot of random people so be it! Just as long as someone has a camera. 

And if you want to make someone go absolutely psycho crazy with jealously you should do the one thing they always wanted with some random person you are yet to have any real emotional attachment with. Say for instance a romantic road trip the next weekend, dinner at a five star restaurant, or my personal favorite make your new fling a facebook official relationship. It’s the small things that truly drive people insane. So multiply your actions, spread the visibility and BAM those aren’t grenades to the heart, you just launched a dirty bomb.

Flesh Wound

Congratulations! This is the “healthiest” way possible to get over someone you were emotionally attached to. So if you come out with just a few flesh wounds you will be fine! No one needs legs or arms anyways. Just make sure you don’t fall into your own trap and check to see how they are doing only to realize they never use social media, or even worse that they have legitimately moved on without exposing themselves to countless stds, incurring massive amounts of debt (why do escorts accept VISA?) and wake up to realize it doesn’t matter if you win a battle in a war that is already over.

Wait. You mean the wars already over? But I’m confused, isn’t exerting complete and total dominance by appearing to have more fun the best way to get yourself over someone? If you want to have an emotional vault that you lock away any real emotional feelings and pain then yes. They say the fastest way to get over someone is to get under someone else.

But what about all the flaws and issues that were presented in the last relationship should you just completely avoid those? I mean let’s be honest you’re f*ing perfect, no flaws what so ever. The same issues may rise, or perhaps you need to not date a bitch/douche. Worst case scenario you can always just use the strategy outlined above to move on to the next one.

Thanks Jon! You’re rad!

Or mayBE I’m realizing I’m just angry someone knew how to play the game better. OH SNAP!
