BootyPop -- Keepin' it Real

'I just want a real man!'

How many times have I heard that mantra? A real man, a guy that isn't going to play games, blah blah blah. Ladies, if you want a real man, shouldn't you start your search for a real man by being a real woman?

When you see a man, you are pretty much seeing what you're getting. Unless you're on some internet dating site, the man standing before you physically will not change much. Maybe, he's wearing a toupee....maybe.

When you see a woman, there was a time when you were getting what you were seeing. Not anymore....the latest trend in dating trickery is bootypop panties. 'Turn that flat into fab!!!'


There was a time when a man's worse nightmare was finding out that the makeup a woman was wearing was doing more than giving her color. We accepted that as a risk. That this person we met in public may very well look considerably different 'unmade up'.

Then there was the padded bra. That appealing sweater the co-ed was wearing hid a dirty little secret. A secret that once it was discovered, it was too often too late to turn back.

Naturally, artificial breasts were the next big player. These weren't as bad because at least the tom foolery was pretty evident from the get-go. No surprises, just a matter of preference for the gentlemen.

Lo and behold, the 90's brought forth the transgender, transexual, trans whatever age. Now men were being tested daily not only only the physical attraction of the opposite sex. Rather they were being tested on whether the opposite sex was actually opposite at all or perhaps surgically opposite or perhaps
pre-op opposite.

Following that trend was botox and the assorted injections. The woman you are now dating has Angelina Jolie lips that magically grew from the Jodie Foster lips she had in her graduation photos?!?

Through all of these phases, one thing could be trusted. A pair of jeans! Yes, a pair of jeans was true to it's word. It hid nothing, it created nothing. What was in those jeans was, well, in those jeans. UNTIL NOW, now we have booty pop panties. Not only are they somewhat unnatural looking, imagine the disappointment for all the booty men in the world when they find out one of their main 'pros' is actually a pair drawers with padding. Her butt doesn't look like those once trusted jeans portrayed. Shenanigans! Shenanigans I say!

Ladies, if you want us to be real. Remember, it starts in your heart of hearts. Don't use of every trick in the book to gain our attraction if you're only setting us up for disappointment. It's not fair to us.....and it's not fair to you!

Another Frivolous Lawsuit

KISS bassist is being sued by a couple claiming he assaulted them as they videotaped him at a Mall in California.
[picapp align="none" wrap="false" link="term=Gene+Simmons&iid=1631146" src="d/1/3/1/df.jpg?adImageId=8660388&imageId=1631146" width="458" height="594" /]
I am not a KISS fan.  Their Dr. Pepper commercial scares my son and quite frankly is a bit disturbing in its own peculiar way.  What brings this to my attention is the freedom with which the public thinks they can approach celebrities.  The freedom the public takes in speaking with celebrities. The couple approaches a rock and roll icon, with all that entails, and asks him his view on monogamy?  Is this a question they pose to all strangers they encounter? Is this their business? Is it not enough that you likely began video-taping him without his permission? 

And even with that video-taping and provocation, he stated get your shot and go.  According to the 'oh-so-innocent' couple, he then grabs the camera. That doesn't jibe with his statement of 'get your shot and go' which is what the couple stated occurred.  SO what's missing?  Between get your shot and lunging, something was said that the couple is conveniently leaving out.

25 grand isn't the largest frivolous suit we've seen.  But I think the following law should be passed.  If you file a civil lawsuit, and lose, you should be fined.  It serves as a deterrence to the 'I'll sue mindset' as well as help to recoup some of the administrative costs of conducting the trial.  This way litigants will need to think 'Can I afford to lose?'

Full Circle

The Hokies started the season in the Chick Fil A Classic at the Georgia Dome for the 2009 season and will end in the Chick Fil A Bowl at the Georgia Dome on the last evening of 2009.

In a season filled with resounding disappointment (Alabama, North Carolina) and stunning performances (Nebraska – even if a little late, Miami), the Virginia Tech Hokies hope to cap their season off in the Dome much differently than they started it. 

The Tennessee Volunteers will be the Hokies opponents under 1st year coach Lane Kiffin.  To be honest, I’ve no clue what to expect as I didn’t watch any of Tennessee’s games.  From what I’ve heard or at least determined from the scant words throughout the season was that this was more of a rebuilding year.  There had been some fiery words from Lane Kiffin but even those seemed almost like more ploy than anything. 

Alabama v Virginia Tech

The Hokies in my oft-noted jaded opinion are still the best team the ACC has to offer.  Georgia Tech won the conference title this year and my hats go off to them.  I will leave it at that as I don’t want to add ‘buts’, ‘howevers’, and ‘what ifs’.  The Hokies have one statistic that has been the mantra since a conference championship became unattainable – 10wins.  The Hokies are one of three teams (Texas, USC) to win at least 10 games the past 5 seasons.  Impressive company and an impressive streak. 

Even better….I’m going to the game!  Yeah, the Hokies have been in town 3 times this year and this is my first game…I suck…I’m lazy..and we lost both games in our previous trips which is probably my fault….nonetheles…I’m going to this one and doing it with a Tennessee fan no less.  The last time I watched a game with an opposing fan, we lost to UNC…..suddenly I feel like I’m going about this bowl all the wrong way…..

Blogging for the sake of Blogging

I’m run down.  Tired.  Out of gas.  Nothing left. 

I got things I need to do professionally and personally but just can’t get the energy up to do a damn thing about it.  Spent.

Why?  Why is Chocolate Thunder down?  Why is Xpinionated hanging on to a thin rope (which is the best rope in this African American’s eyes – we had a bad experience)?  Hell if I know.  I just know I’m tired. 

Maybe I’m getting old and the ol’ body’s givin’ in on me.  See that last sentence?  Too tired to type out full words sometimes.

Or maybe I’m just griping.  I think I’m becoming a grouchy old man.  See, I’m lucky enough to be able to work from home full-time. The downside to that is very limited social interaction outside of mywife and kids.  Even more so this week as I’ve been too tired (see above) to hit the gym like I normally would.  All this is to say that my social skills are deteriorating at an unbelievable pace.

Oh gotta go put the young’un to bed…..
