leave gossiping to the ladies.. thanks

you know what i love, i love when guys put down girls for gossiping. “naah you all talk so much shit” or  “do you ever stop talking about people?” are usually the phrases my guy friends like to utter. okay, now pause. these statements would be okay if a) you didn’t talk shit yourself.  b) when you find something out you don’t run and tell your boys. or c) you don’t fabricate what happened with a girl so you can look cool in front of your friends.   see the difference between guys gossiping and girls gossiping… we like to inform each other about what other girls are doing with their lives (you know like if samantha is still sleeping with guy 1 guy 2 guy 3 and guy 4), not about the people we are sleeping with/dating/crushing, or whatever the hell you want to call it. guys on the other hand, like to tell their stories (i won’t use the word gossip because i don’t want to offend any of you cry babies out there) with a nice little twist. why do you need to look cool in front of you friends?.. you know its okay to have feelings.. WHAAAT? i know, who would have thought?! it is funny though cause guys never tell their friends the good stuff about a girl, and if they do they throw in a lot of sexual references and “dawgs”. well boys, one thing you don’t know is just like guys have that little phrase “bros before hoes” we have one too, “chicks before dicks”. so you gossiping telling stories to your guy friends,  and you think it remains just between the two of you – you’re absolutely mistaken. that guy is going to then call one of his boys, and that boy will then tell ALL his boys, and then guess what, let one girl be present… it will get back to the girl. we always find out. if you have not learned this as of yet then you have a hard life ahead of you. we are crazy. i will be the first to admit i have a screw or two loose, but who doesn’t? this is why you need to leave the stories gossiping to the girls. we will never offend you unless you have been mean to us and we will never make you look bad… unless you have been mean to us. which is why there is a huge difference between guys and girls when it comes to sharing information. gossiping comes as second nature to us… we do it without knowing we are doing it. this is a new thing that has been introduced to men… and it needs to stop. you make girls feel bad even if you are just their friends… girls can take shit from other girls but when guys say it, or if a girl hears that her guy has said this about her… to her it isn’t a friendly little exchange of words.. it is a lot more serious than that, which is why guys need to zip it, and leave the rumor spreading to the people who know how to do it best.

people are mean. hmph.

why is it that some people just have to ruin your day? this past weekend i went away on vacation to seattle; note: miami is not the city with the rudest people. if you know me, you know i have this sick infatuation with furry four-legged creatures, – it is kinda annoying, i admit it. i can’t see a dog without running over to it and attacking it with kisses and screaming at the top of my lungs “ahhhhh what a littlooooo cutieeee!” (i told you i am super annoying) with that said, it really doesn’t matter the size of the dog.. actually the bigger the dog the more i want to go up to it (with a running start of course so i can get a good tackle) and then cover it over with smooches, but i do restrain myself, at least i TRY too. i was at a coffee shop in seattle (and no NOT starbucks) and i saw only the cutest english bulldog ever walk in.. well he was on a leash you know he didn’t just strut his little tush in there. i go over to show him some lovin and the asshole owner snapped at me and didn’t let me pet him. i guess not everyone has to let me touch their dog.. but i asked repeatedly and instead of giving me a response he ignored me until i bent down to pet the dog, but he snarled something at me, so i got the hint and left. THIS HAPPENED LIKE 2 OTHER TIMES! lesson learned: don’t pet dogs in seattle ;p

then… i was at the airport.. and apparently there are stations with outlets?… (the person who came up with this idea is a complete idiot.. who wants to sit uncomfortably in a little divided area, basically on top of the person next to you just so you can charge your phone… it was so much more fun when you had to play scavenger hunt for an outlet…) so this girl.. i will not descirbe her because well i don’t have very nice things to say about her apperance.. was just sitting in the chair, not charging anything! i asked her if i could charge my phone, i didnt ask her to move her fatass (sorry, sorryyyy) i simply wanted to plug my phone into the damn outlet and then politely hoover over her until she moves. but before i had the chance to be a pest, she bitched me out… mind you at this point i have only said .. “excuse me, do you mind if i charge my phone.. you don’t have to move.” this beast spins around and basically drop kicks me to the floor. okaaay maybe i am over exageratting a tid bit but she did stand up and get in my face and yell at me… her friend.. or girlfriend? not sure these days was like “she just wants to charge her phoneeee…” oompa loompa got her belongings and walked away, and i sat down with my charger in one hand, my phone in the other and a HUUUGE smile on my face.

seattle is probably one of the prettiest places i have ever been. it reminded me of san francisco with a new york city feel, but of course without all of the garbage. i would love to just pick up my things and move to a random city, of course my father would probably chop my head off but it is something everyone must do. i am envious of every one who has. it is so scary but so fulfilling at the same time. one of these days maybe ill just pack my things and move… helloooo texas. jk – well about the texas part..

 

ew, new balance.

this message is directed to men who wear new balance sneakers on and off the field. the only places they should be worn is at the gym, on a basketball court/football field/golf course/track, etc. if you are wearing new balance sneakers on dates, at work, at parties, and/or any venue that is not sport related, please direct yourself to the nearest cliff and jump off. (okay, that might have been a tad bit harsh…)

i don’t mean to be picky, but lets just play the role reversal game for a second. you see a pretty girl, wearing a pretty dress.. you look her up.. you start to look her down and BAM she is wearing a pair of new balance sneakers. what would be the first thing to cross your mind? how about WHAT THE EFF IS SHE WEARING? i am just guessing in the dark here, but that is definitely what would cross my mind. there is something about new balance sneakers that adds about 16 years to your look and completely demotes you to being worst dressed, no matter how awesome your outfit might be.

you might not think shoes are a big deal, but they are all part of your first impression.  just like new balance sneakers pretty much are a deal breaker for a guy, so are air force ones. those are so middle school. i get annoyed when i see guys wearing them still.. to this day! and then they get irritated when their shoes get scuffed. really? you are concerned that your precious shoes are going to get dirty, then why would you wear them to a club or a party, news flash you aren’t walking around in a bubble.

.. just saying

cheers to friendship

sometimes you don’t value those people who are in your life as much as you should. sometimes you get caught up in your own routine to mix it up a little. so i am putting my foot down and i am going to work on going that extra mile.

a much needed date with one of the best friends a girl can ask for.

a woman needs a man, just as much as a fish needs a bicycle.

fantasy football. be about it.

so this year i am hopping right on that bandwagon and joining fantasy football. do i know how to play? no. can i name more than 4 players in the nfl? no. but am i going to kick ass when i play… YES!

my friends put together a league and the winner gets a trophy! (it is the little things like this that make me giddy)

so i need options for a name that doesn’t make me sound like a girl, because apparently they won’t take me serious if they know i am a girl. (i don’t see why)

ideas? LET ME KNOW!!

pearly whites.

i don’t know what my obsession is with white.. even my toes are even painted white right now. i recently blogged about my dire need for a white blazer, if that wasn’t enough, i went on the hunt for a pair of white skinny jeans, and guess what i found a pair… thank you DKNY and my nearby Macy’s for having them in stock. they fit snug and delish and can make anyone’s tush look great.

i think it is crazy how you can add one simple item to your wardobe and it literally can change EVERYTHING. do you know how many new outfits i have now. every girl should own a pair of white jeans

the only thing is i am a huge clutz, so wearing them will only occur once in a while.

 

oh whitney, you never let me down.

xoxo.

a word from the wise.

Getting dressed is a lot like writing; you have to give your outfits punctuation marks, folks! – my favorite dressed boy, jorge diaz.

i couldn’t have said it any better.

 

memorial day weekend..

2 weeks away && the florida keys are calling my name. with memorial day weekend quickly approaching i have decided to go on a STRICT diet. meaning, no bread. just water. and of course my daily consumption of veggies. (i am on day one so this will prob last a week lol) why is eating healthy so hard? i feel like everywhere you go you are consumed with the smell of fried delicious food or cake. CAKE seems to be everywhereeee! ugh.

but to hold me over i usually eat the following as snacks:

celery + peanut butter

popcorn

pretzels

nuts

yogurt

yogurt + granola cereal

fiber one 90 calorie chocolate peanut butter bar

any suggestions? recipes? websites?
