Hi, Everyone!!! Hope you had a marvelous week...Good...
I've been scared emotionally lately and based on what i know now, i'm going to make a couple of sweeping generalizations (wunmi can stop reading now lol).
A girl will never forget her first guy...
A guy won't too because she was the one that gave us our first BJ, and now you have to do it too.
Ever loved someone who didnt think the world of you... me too.
What's worse? having feelings for someone who's married or someone who's gay?
Guys don't really want to get married. We'd rather have you as a live in girlfriend.
Women are as insecure as men...and more confused...
my last babe thought i was Insensitive,while my new babe think's i'm too insecure,
ladies & gentlemen, i have not fu cking changed...lol
Girl's would really like to call our phones till our batteries ran out but...then we'd think they were psycho's shey
Okay, so if we really liked you...even it meant stealing a phone, we'd call you.
If he's married and you're dating him, he'll only leave his wife for you...IN YOUR DREAMS.
There's always going to be that girl that think's we're cute ...(fu ck us fo r free) even though we're dating you.
A woman will dump you if she's getting bored in the relationship...thats the reason why men cheat too ( well, one of the reasons).
If a lady has all your qualities, does all you do ...then goes 1% more...then consider yourself getting dumped soon ....
If you've been dating for atleast 2 years and he's never popped the question, then he's never gonna do it.
In fact, if you dont get married soon, you're gonna get dumped.
Most times, we make you think you dumped us,really...Ever heard?
-I don't want to stand in your way or hold you back.
-I don't deserve you.
-I'm so jealous of the guy who gets to marry you.
-hmmm...wo, you can add more" those are the one's have used.
If we call you out of the blues, it means we want to get fu ked...really....you really know that don't you?
If a friend (girl) treats you as a friend,she will not sleep with you,get your head out of the clouds, mate.If she did it once (out of sympathy),no she's not your babe, because she won't do it again.
There are really guys out there that won't doubledate.
If you cheat on your babe and you're upfront about it...yes *i'm not crazy*, there's actually a possibilty that you'll be forgiven.
DON'T PLAY WIFE, IF YOU'RE NOT.
If a guy wants to date you ehn, he'll ask you out.
We really do need to have sex!
You can check our phones all you want, Read all our messages but we'll only get caught if we want to.
Hmmm....all girls are up for some naughty fun.
Ever f ucked a girl while thinking of someonelse....well she does too.
We do CRY when we get DUMPED.
There are three kinds of ladies out there...
Those we're not just attracted/interested in (it's not your fault, it's just us)
Those we're attracted to,but we really just want sex
Those we wanna get married to
When you meet a guy, you instinctively know if there's hope or not.
If a guy makes you cry (well apart from tears of ecstacy), dump him now.
Yep I'm done now....*deep breaths*
Hope you enjoy the songs on my esnips...watch this space on my mobile/audio dating.

Okay, i'm gonna try and give you recaps on all thats happened...well all thats affected me in the last couple of months:
Yeah, i'm still in the business of making people beautiful...nowadays i only attend to ladies who call in...so you get to be treated like a queen that you are...
I'm birthday mates with the best country on the planet, even though we had a lack lustre celebration here, waiting for the big 5.0. celebrations next year.
I celebrated my birthday on the 21st of October, and as usual i kept to myself (which wasnt funny, i've got a steady babe now)...i used the day to reflect on my journey in life...
Ever tried to live without social media (twitter,Almighty facebook,myspace etc)....well i did, for a whole month...the silence was worth it i tell you...you should try it sometimes...
I've also contemplated restarting my mobile dating service...yes, i got a lot of calls and text messages to continue with it.Hopefully that'll be with a twist sha...Ever heard of "audio dating"...its going to be a lot of fun.
And The Man Died!!!
Micheal Jackson died and some would say he was as popular dead as alive.
Gani Fawehinmi died, The only true Crusader i know goes to where the Old ones go.
Reforms (Sanusi) hit the Banking sector; GTBank is safe *heaving a sigh of relief*
Boko Haraam killings...to think people first thought it was another religious war.

Abi.There's also the thing about the nation's image been battered viz a viz "District 9" and "The Sony Advert". Nice one that Sony Apologised, i wouldnt wait for the Producers of "District 9" though... Better we make a "District 1" in reply.

Makeup On Point....Check
Ladies and Gentlemen, Hope you're having a great day...well you ought to "write your own script"...a certain bank seems to have the lockdown on creative phrases....okay its Bankphb,please patronise them o...my sister works there ...lol
Ehn ehn, this is one of those posts that you have to quickly write down all you have to say before you forget o...lol. please forgive me if its disjointed.and yes, i will join issues cause i dont want to write two posts.
Do you have those days that you just think about your job and you cant take it anymore? well i had one yesterday and i decided i was quitting.Yeah,I'm quitting my day job...and thats it...although its gonna take a bit of time....i have a schedule planned already.I just hope i stick to it.I have a lot of projects i would want to be involved in...might gist una later.
Business is really moving o and i actually need to pump in more capital...as in demand far overshadows supply.Luckily i've got family that can "risk" their hard earned money for me.
On this second batch of merchandise i bought, I got a diary, wrote all the items and the cost, but i didnt write my expected profit, dont count your chicks before they are hatched abi.So i have an agreement with my major client for now that i would be coming over every friday to restock or collect money...instead of hapharzadly like before.hopefully that will ensure that gbogbo owo ma pe (All the money will be complete).
By the way, would you beleive that the company actually increased the price of the products, Now i know how it feels when government increases the price of fuel....lol.Its a shame that its my customers thats going to recieve the backlash.although i'll try to subsidize when i can.i'm becoming an economist abi using all this big big words.
And the thing about Iman is confirmed,she isnt bankrupt but her major distributor is,so for now you got to hurry before my Iman Cosmetics Stock gets soldout.
And i have mumsie to thank for all the advice, she's really got my back on this one.
Ladies,Now pause on reading a lil bit,take out your mirror and look into it....Is Your Makeup On Point? No smugs? No Blurs?....Now Clap for yoursef...lol.I dont know o, i think i'm in love with make up and especially when ladies are creative with eye shadow (like the one above), easy on the red lipstick though.
By the way, i twit too....almost every minute...forgive me....i feel its more easier getting my thoughts across there.you could drop ur twitter ID so i can follow u...well without pestering to buy my products o...lol

sunday 24/08/08 (women want)
What do women want? many men have wondered. Who knows. But figuring out what women want in men is crucial to becoming effective not only in dealing with women, but developing the kind of Dating Life you really want.
So what do women want from men? What traits do they look for? And why -- what's the reason behind it?
There are three specific traits. And naturally there are also three corresponding reasons why women want these traits in men.
Let's take some time to explore them in detail...
Ultimately, what women want in men is to have their needs and desires fulfilled. To understand what traits women look for in men, we have to understand just what those needs and desires are...
... and then we can make the connections to these character traits, and how you can develop them in yourself.
Need #1: Security. Women want to feel safe. In today's civilized world however, safety isn't really that big of an issue anymore.
Need #2: Pleasure. Women want to feel pure sensual stimulation. What do men talk about? Business, sports, and women. But what do women talk about? Sex, men, sex, relationships, and sex -- did I mention sex?
Need #3: Adventure Women want to feel excitement and anticipation. They have a strong desire to trust in someone who will lead them into emotionally charged experiences that they wouldn't have the courage to go alone.

less than 10% really hard a workable plan...

that if i want to go into this business, they'll surely
be copyright and legal issues shey?...
anyways, talking to my lawyer, he says we'll find a legal
loophole and work around it...cause i'm not thinking of
involving the schools at all...

monday 10/aug/08 (crazy)
had this crazy idea yesterday....yeah i have a
lot of them...
okay, i learnt yesterday that, it costs far more
to fuel a car than to actually buy it....
i've been reading a lot of books recently just finished
"The Long Tail" by Chris Anderson and he's blog...
and i'm all for free stuff....i run a free mobile
dating service by the way...lol
ok, i had this idea, why not make cars free...
yes,car makers and dealers shouldnt sell cars to
customers, but give it out...yes, you heard me,
give it out...
how would they make money you ask,i feel that
car makers should work in conjunction with our
petroleum dealers...the petroleum marketer
just charges more at the petrol station...or some
superfuel for this free cars or somethings....
that way i'm guessing i'll get a car real easy...lol
instead of forking out a lot of money for my dream car...lol
lot of them...

Thursday 07+08+08 (stAnd oUt)
Go as a pilgrim and seek out danger
Far from comfort and the well lit-avenues of life.
Pit your very soul against the unknown
And seek stimulation in the company of the brave.
Experience cold and hunger, heat and thirst
And survive to see another challenge and another dawn.
Only then will you be at peace with yourself
And able to know and to say:
“I looked down on the farthest side of the mountain
And, fulfilled and understanding all, I am truly content
That I lived a full life
And one that was of my own choice”.
I got this quote from a book a long time ago, and its one of the quotes that drives me ....hope it does for u too

Thursday 10/07/08 (Pacifist)
i am a pacifist in the mould of Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Mandela...
we'd rather be hurt rather than go to war....even when the bombs
drop close to home, we still give the militants another chance to
change for their sakes...
i'd go to prison rather than fight...
i'd stage protests rather than fight...
cause i believe in jaw jaw rather than war war...
but sometimes wouldnt be a peace maker pass for cawordice...
wouldnt be a gentle giant pass for fear...
wouldnt turning the other cheek be regarded as stupidity...
or maybe what we fear most is that if we erupt it would be more
disastrous?
and we know that after the war has be won or loss,
after all the lives have been lost...
after all properties have been destroyed...
it would still be back to the conference room...
I could count all the fights i have gotten into on one hand,
but i noticed that i was always more afraid of what i would do
to the guy than what he would do to me...
I was afraid i could kill and i'd be on the run for life...
and i count what a few more seconds of sanity would lead to.
there's always a tipping point though and i hope we has a country
would understand that...if you push us to the wall...if you hurt
my family, my friends, my colleagues...i will not cower in fear...
i will destroy all you hold dear...
i will wipe you off the face of the earth, if its the last thing i do...
You're not man enough thats why you hit me when i turn my back...
I will hunt you down like rats that you are...
This is isnt a threath, its a guarantee...
that said...."deep breaths"...
really Pacifist am I...

Contentment In Life
Being happy is equated to been contented, pleased and been fortunate according to the Oxford Dictionary. Been Happy in the Nigerian context- well to the average Nigerian is having his basic needs met i.e Food, Shelter, and Clothing. Also been happy is correlated to wealth, friends, spiritual consciousness and having a good job. But we know that been happy is dependent on the individual because what might satisfy you the reader might not even have any effect on me.
Nigeria has often been described as one of the happiest country in the world i.e the country with the most contented individuals.But we know this is at face value, the average Nigerian is "suffering and smiling" going about "jejeli" on his own with an "e go better" attitude. The worse the economy gets, the more we adapt to the situation.
Scientists have stated 10 parameters for Happiness.
1. Make the most of your genes...
Happiness has been adjudged to be influenced by half what is happening now and half set point
determined by our grandparents, meaning that if your grandparents were relatively happy "ceteris paribus" your parents would be relatively happy and you also would be happy.
Then it was found that Extroverts tend to be happier than introverts. that is, a socially interested indivisual is usually happier than a person who lives a solitary, lonely life. Hence there is really no harm in going to clubs, joining groups and even going to mama put joints to interact.
2.Get Married...
Although the economic situation might not allow marriages cause it has been estimated that even a small marriage costs about N1.5 million, more than what some individuals earn in 5 years. Hence this might not really work, but it has been discovered that happy people are more likely to get married and stay married especially if there is trust, love and sharing. The closest to this is been engaged or live-in-lovers.
3.Make Friends and Value Them...
Relating to people makes an individual happy because sharing some amount of trust is a factor.
Almost every person needs a shoulder to rely on and a listening ear.Been malicious usually makes us sad. Been appreciated is what we all crave.
4.Desire Less...
It is an economic fact that not all our needs can be met with our meagre resources hence been happy requires us to desire less. The essential needs i.e Shelter, Clothing and Food bring a large amount of happiness. Coveting what you dont have is bad for your peace of mind and the more people have, the more they want.
5.Find God (or a belief system)...
Most nigerians are religious especially when it comes to football, i remember how many people
prophesied that we would win the just concluded African Cup Of Nations.It has been found out that believing in God or an Afterlife can give people meaning and purpose and reduce the feeling of being in the world. The most fearful of death ( like all Nigerians are) are those who are unspecific, or uncommitted to any specific belief system.
It also brings social interaction and support.
6.Do Someone A Good Turn...
The bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive. The more voluntary work you do, the happier you get. People who provide support to others are better off themselves.
They even live longer.
7.Stop Comparing Your Looks With Others...
Everybody is beautifully and wonderfully created. We are all beautiful in our own little way.
Most of us are envious of our friends bodies,the guys want bigger biceps and triceps while the gals want fuller breasts.(i watch dr 90210,so i know) Studies have found out that Good looking people are much happier. Health and happiness go hand in hand and influence each other. It is
also said that a good laugh a day keeps the doctor and sorrow away. The remedy to appreciating your looks more is "believing you look great" and "appreciating your body for what it does rather tha how it looks". For example, Great defender Taribo West and prolific actor Segun Arinze.
8.Earn More Money (up to a point)...
As we all know,wealthier people are much happier. Although a good paying job doesnt necessarily lead to been happy. Moeny buys status and status makes you better off. Studies have shown that it would take #70,000 a year (about 14 million naira) to make a person happy!!! Enough said.
9.Grow Old Gracefully...
Elderly People are just as happy as the young but are more satisfied with their life. The secret to this is to focus on things that make you happy and let go of those that dont. The old also remember the "good old days" and try as much to forget the present times. why songs now dont make sense to them...lol
10.Dont Worry If You Arent A Genius...
From experience, Know-it-alls are not appreciated. Been very brilliant is not a criteria for happiness. Yo dont have to be Einstien, rather, been a little above average is okay. Social intelligience rather than "bookish" intelligience is the key to happiness.
Happiness is a state of mind shown on your face. So smile everytime cause it takes abot 15 muscles to smile while about 37 to frown.Frowning also discourages appreciation. As Lagbaja would say "Put a smile on your face, no matter condition, feyin e"
Nigeria has often been described as one of the happiest country in the world i.e the country with the most contented individuals.But we know this is at face value, the average Nigerian is "suffering and smiling" going about "jejeli" on his own with an "e go better" attitude. The worse the economy gets, the more we adapt to the situation.
Scientists have stated 10 parameters for Happiness.
1. Make the most of your genes...
Happiness has been adjudged to be influenced by half what is happening now and half set point
determined by our grandparents, meaning that if your grandparents were relatively happy "ceteris paribus" your parents would be relatively happy and you also would be happy.
Then it was found that Extroverts tend to be happier than introverts. that is, a socially interested indivisual is usually happier than a person who lives a solitary, lonely life. Hence there is really no harm in going to clubs, joining groups and even going to mama put joints to interact.
2.Get Married...
Although the economic situation might not allow marriages cause it has been estimated that even a small marriage costs about N1.5 million, more than what some individuals earn in 5 years. Hence this might not really work, but it has been discovered that happy people are more likely to get married and stay married especially if there is trust, love and sharing. The closest to this is been engaged or live-in-lovers.
3.Make Friends and Value Them...
Relating to people makes an individual happy because sharing some amount of trust is a factor.
Almost every person needs a shoulder to rely on and a listening ear.Been malicious usually makes us sad. Been appreciated is what we all crave.
4.Desire Less...
It is an economic fact that not all our needs can be met with our meagre resources hence been happy requires us to desire less. The essential needs i.e Shelter, Clothing and Food bring a large amount of happiness. Coveting what you dont have is bad for your peace of mind and the more people have, the more they want.
5.Find God (or a belief system)...
Most nigerians are religious especially when it comes to football, i remember how many people
prophesied that we would win the just concluded African Cup Of Nations.It has been found out that believing in God or an Afterlife can give people meaning and purpose and reduce the feeling of being in the world. The most fearful of death ( like all Nigerians are) are those who are unspecific, or uncommitted to any specific belief system.
It also brings social interaction and support.
6.Do Someone A Good Turn...
The bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive. The more voluntary work you do, the happier you get. People who provide support to others are better off themselves.
They even live longer.
7.Stop Comparing Your Looks With Others...
Everybody is beautifully and wonderfully created. We are all beautiful in our own little way.
Most of us are envious of our friends bodies,the guys want bigger biceps and triceps while the gals want fuller breasts.(i watch dr 90210,so i know) Studies have found out that Good looking people are much happier. Health and happiness go hand in hand and influence each other. It is

Caught on camera: our changing world
A planet in flux, due largely to the actions of its dominant species, Earth has, apparently, reached a tipping point. Some of the hitherto most enchanting spots on the globe are today barely recognisable from what they once were, marred – perhaps permanently – by the recklessness of the human race. Others, where the damage may be less immediately obvious, are balanced precariously atop an environmental time bomb.
Sometimes enlightening, sometimes shocking, snapshots of our rapidly changing world have been captured by some of the world’s most talented press photographers. From toxic rubbish mountains to flooded rice fields, they illustrate what we have lost to climate change – and highlight what it still at stake. To find out more, click on the images in the gallery below.

Children play in a flooded rice field near Jakarta.In early February 2007, unprecedented rainfall combined with widespread deforestation and inadequate flood defences to create the most devastating floods to swamp the Indonesian capital in more than 300 years. During the deluge, at least 54 people were killed, 70,000 homes were flooded and more than 200,000 people were displaced. Now, more than a year later, some 5,729 people are yet to return – and the legacy of water-borne disease continues to take its human toll.

A bird glides gracefully through the polluted skies above Tehran. Air pollution in the Iranian capital killed more than 3,600 people in just one month in 2006, an environmental situation described by local officials as “collective suicide.” Considered one of the world’s most polluted places, Tehran’s air is so toxic it triggers lethal respiratory and cardiac problems, with 80% of fatal heart attacks believed to be directly attributable to the noxious smog smothering the city. Half of the six million cars clogging Iran’s streets fail to meet global emissions standards and burn twice as much fuel as their European equivalents, spewing vast quantities of carbon monoxide into residents’ lungs.

Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that if steps were not taken, incidences of inland droughts and coastal flooding would increase significantly. Glaciologist D P Dobhal, who has been studying Chorabari and Dokriani glaciers in the Garhwal Himalayas since 2003, said they are receding at the rate of 1.5-2 metres every year. “What is worrying is that the glaciers are losing density... largely due to global warming; the snow is melting faster than it can accumulate as ice, thereby thinning the glacier,” he said.

A gumboot sits atop a fencepost on the site of the submerged town of Old Adaminaby in Australia. The longest “big dry” the country has seen in a century has reduced one of its largest manmade lakes to a dustbowl, exposing the skeletal remains of a town that was deliberately flooded 50 years ago. The savage drought, believed to be caused by climate change, has shrivelled Lake Eucumbene – between Victoria and New South Wales – to a tenth of its normal size. The receding waters have exposed what little is left of the Snowy Mountains farming town evacuated in 1957 to make way for a massive hydro-electricity project promising... near-limitless water.

A slick black sea engulfed South Korea’s scenic and ecologically rich western coastline in December 2007, when a stricken supertanker sent 10,500 tons of crude oil spewing from its hull. Thick, reeking waves of oil spilled onto the famed Mallipo beach, blackening seagulls and fouling fish farms in the worst environmental disaster in the country’s history.

Ancient Sidouna, one of the most famous names in ancient history, counted among its cultural influences the Egyptian Pharoahs and Ancient Greece. The city’s god, Eshmoun, was associated with the Greek god of healing. Today, Sidon lives in the shadow of this 600,000 cubic metre toxic mountain comprising garbage, soil, concrete debris, hospital waste and the occasional dead animal.

Daravai is the largest slum in Asia, a sprawling maze of tin huts and open drains that is home to more than 600,000 people. India has announced that the so-called eyesore, which generates £1bn a year through craft workshops, is to be razed and replaced with a new township in a bid to harness the area’s business potential.
A young man drifts lazily in a pond on the outskirts of Jammu in Indian Kashmir. Choking levels of airborne pollutants forced the state government’s hand two years ago, via a court order to remove thousands of 15-year-old commercial vehicles from the roads. The “herculean task” involved decommissioning 4,814 trucks, 1,152 buses, 580 mini buses, 180 taxis and 613 auto-rickshaws in a bid to cut the amount of toxic emissions being belched into the atmosphere by the region’s ageing vehicles.
Heavy morning fog coils loosely around the soaring skyscrapers in Dubai Marina, one of the world’s largest man-made waterfronts in the heart of the United Arab Emirates. Accelerating expansion in the UAE has prompted concern about the region’s wildlife: although traditional nature reserves – ‘hema’ – are long-established in the Arabian Peninsula, there is little in the way of legislation to protect areas rich in native flora and fauna, including turtle colonies, from fast-paced commercial development.

Kylie: Motherhood may not be for me
thought every young lady's dream was to marry a guy and then have kids but...Pop princess Kylie Minogue has admitted she may never have children.
Minogue, who is 40 next month, said that although she dreams of having a family she sometimes believes it is "not the right path" for her.
She told the German edition of Vogue: "I never had the feeling I was made for a conventional marriage with a house in the suburbs.
"Media interest in 'supermothers', who are simultaneously on stage and bringing up children, is understandable. But for many that is too much of a good thing.
"There are also artists such as Debbie Harry or Dolly Parton who have managed to have an unbelievable career without a family.
"Above everything else, it comes down to how much love you have in you and if you are ready to give that love."
She added: "How things will turn out for me with regards to family I simply can't yet say."
Minogue promised a change of image for her new tour, which kicks off in Paris next month.
She said: "The showgirl and feathers are behind me. I want a new direction. Jean Paul Gaultier is designing my costumes for the tour - all couture."

Hamilton rates win as best of his career
Lewis Hamilton has described his work in winning the Australian GP as the best of his career.On an afternoon that saw World Champion Kimi Raikkonen made two critical mistakes, Hamilton didn't put a wheel offline as he began the new season in the best possible style. The Englishman's serene progress towards the chequered flag was in start contrast to the chaos that occurred behind his McLaren - and it was the faultless professionalism of his performance that gave the youngster particular satisfaction.
"This win perhaps feels better than any because I feel I've improved in many areas," he explained.
"I wouldn't say it's the perfect win but I think in terms of managing my tyres, controlling my pace and confidence and being comfortable in the car, it's the best race I've had so far," Hamilton said.
It remains to be seen whether Hamilton has taken a nine or ten-point lead over Raikkonen, but in any case the McLaren driver is convinced that he has a package to challenge - and beat - his archrival.
"We could have gone quicker so I am not bothered by Ferrari's pace," he insisted. "The car was phenomenal, a dream to drive compared to the car we had last year

Ashton 'punks' the media
Ashton Kutcher is up to his old tricks again - but instead of playing tricks on celebrities, he's working with them to turn the tables on the press.
Stories of Paris Hilton meeting with a bearded guru and Avril Lavigne sporting a potential small 'baby' bump turned out to be false, and merely promotion of Ashton's new show, Pop Fiction, which premiered on US channel E!
"I feel like we're undercover cops. I've always wanted to do something like this," said Avril in the first episode.
The 30-year-old Punk'd creator, who is married to Demi Moore, is credited as an executive producer on the show and has enlisted stars to play along with actors, such as Paris' fake guru, to poke fun at the paparazzi and fool the media.
"We're having fun," producer Jason Goldberg said of the project.
"But we want to say to people, 'Can you really believe everything you read and see?'"
Pop Fiction is shown on Sundays on E!

Boyfriend Checklist
1. He must be intelligent and articulate.
2. He must have an appreciation for good food [although he does not have to be a foodie].
3. He must have respect for geeks. They rule the world and they’ve triumphed over those silly high school jocks.
4. He must be emotionally mature and in touch with his feelings. Romance is not a dirty word.
5. He must be aware of the meaning behind a light blue hanky and a dark blue hanky.
6. He must have a sense of humor. Smile a little, laugh a lot.
7. He must never mix the soy sauce with the wasabi. California rolls are an abomination best left hidden.
8. He must not be a Republican. Or a libertarian.
9. He must understand the difference between role-playing games/RPGs and roleplaying situations. One of these things has nothing to do with the other.
10. He must know how to kiss, and not like a pez dispenser.
11. He must be compassionate.
12. He must know what he wants out of life. It’s fine to be aimless when you’re a twenty year old Young Thing, not so much when you’re in my age range.
13. He must not be a one note top. It’s all about the motion of the ocean.
14. He must not be a pushy bottom. Good sex is like Torville and Dean’s Bolero.
15. He must be gainfully employed.
16. He must not be a butter nazi. Fat equals flavor.
17. He must know the difference between Barthes and Sartre and be prepared to defend one over the other.
18. He must like old movies.
19. He must know who Jack Kirby and Frank Miller are.
20. He must have some appreciation for Barry Manilow.
21. He must not mix up Olivia Newton-John with Jane Fonda.
22. Opera is not a foreign language.
23. A penis is not a weenie. Don’t give your dick a pet name unless it’s extraordinarily special, if you know what I mean.
24. “Toned” does not exist in his lexicon. He doesn’t have to be a meathead but he should recognize that one goes to the gym to lift, not to “tone up”.
25. He must not take over the bed when we’re sleeping.
26. He must like to take showers, but not obsessively.
27. He must recognize that musical genius did not begin with Madonna.
28. He should tell me to shut up when I get hysterical.
29. He must be courteous and polite. Always let a woman exit an elevator first, always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and NEVER talk about your ex[es] on the first date, among other things.
30. He must not express incredulity at my lack of knowledge of pop culture.
31. Books are not meant to be wall decorations.
32. He shouldn’t be as serious as I am.
33. John Belushi and Jay Leno ARE NOT the same person.
34. He must read at least one newspaper. Sorry, but the N.Y. Post does not qualify. Ditto for the Daily News.
35. He must not watch The Food Network. Or if he does, he must recognize that Bobby Flay can’t cook jackshit.
36. He must not be half my height.
37. He must have a reasonably well-kept appearance.
38. He must be self-confident. “Dominant” and “masculine” are not words in his vocabulary. Those qualities are self-evident in his nature without him having to say so.
39. He must like to wear sneakers.
40. He must be a fan of public transportation.
41. He must not equate New York City with Sodom-on-the-Hudson.
42. He must be able to be flamboyant. Get in touch with your inner Ethel.
43. He must like holding hands in public.
44. Being gay is a part of him but he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve.
45. He must be a good listener, in addition to being able to communicate effectively.
46. He must be a good person. Put it another way: you don’t have to be spiritual to be religious, but you can’t have religion without spirituality.
47. He must be able to go from Water Music to wild child in under five seconds.
48. He must not be provincial.
49. He must not have a cell phone. Or if he does, he should be patient with me because I am cellphone-less.
50. Barbra is a goddess. That is all.
still wondering why shes still single...lol
