Woo Saa!!! I Really Need to Vent Right Now!!!

I'm not so good today, really, I haven't been for a while. I was suppose to be moving to NY this month, and because of finances, it's once again getting pushed back. Now with God's help I'll be there in Jan. Trying to find a job to earn a little money to take with me when I go. Can't find a damn thing. If I had a dollar for every place I've applied to I'd be Oprah rich. I love American and being an American, but there's not much to be proud of these days. Our country is doing us so dirty, it's disgusting!!! From the recession (or as I like to call it repression, a combo of recession and depression) to them dragging their lazy uncaring feet about giving us affordable health care, when so many in parts of Europe have it for free, I don't know half the time if I'm coming or going. No one in this country who has a multitude of job experience, and or a college degree, should EVER have to wait more than six months for employment, PERIOD!!!
God bless us all, we really need a miracle soon!!!

Sticks and Stones

If it were up to me as well as many other women regardless of age, the phrase Cougar (in reference to an older woman dating a younger man) would be completely abolished from the pop culture dictionary. This phrase is so ridonkulously immature and sexist, it's like nails on a chalkboard every time I hear it. I could be wrong, I've tried to do some research on this word, and I've been able to find out the country where it originated, (Canada)but no luck on determining if males coined this bit of verbal vomit or not. Until I can get a definitive answer, I believe dudes started this shit!!! I say this, because why would a woman demean herself this way? Think about it.

Also, ponder for a moment, about how many slang words there
are for a woman who is promiscuous:
Slut, Whore, Skank, Trollop, Ho, Jezebel, Trick, Hussy, Strumpet,
who knows, there could be more, but those are all the ones I've heard of.

Yet, how many words can any of you think of off hand, are there for men
who sleep around? In doing my research, I discovered words for older
gay men who date younger men, but I didn't uncover any for straight
guys. If there are words for guys who get around, (I'm sure they're only a few)
I'm positive none are as derogatory in nature, as they are for women.

If you want proof of much the issue is slanted, Exhibit A:
an article I peeped out in US magazine July 2009, is listed above.
As much as I am against this kind of age difference, at the end of
the day if both parties respect one another, and the relationship
is functional and non abusive, then that's
the most important thing, so I suppose it could be worse, what can
you do? However, it's still gross in my humble opinion.
However, keep in mind (for those of you old enough to remember),
Cher dated a guy in the late 80's, several years younger than her,
I think he worked in a bagel shop, or something to that effect.
And it was plastered all over the media from sea to shining sea.
Everybody and their Mama, and their Mama's Mama flipped out
over it, and had a crapload to say about it.
The same was true with Demi and Ashton when they began dating,
and that's a fifteen year age difference.
Now compare that relationship, if you will, to Jeff and Tania, which
by the way had I not bought US magazine to check out an article on
Michael Jackson, I probably wouldn't have heard hide nor hair about it !!!

Was that the lead story on Access Hollywood, was that on the cover
of People, OK magazine etc.? I don't think so!!!!!

Bottom line is that it's acceptable for men, and not women to date
someone who is many years younger.

Jeff 56, Tania 21!!!!!
A 35 YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!

Now let that marinate for a moment!!!
