Pet Peeves #2

alright, on to my second pet peeve...let's see...

#2
I cannot stand talking to a person with a lisp! Don't ask me why...I guess I've been raised by a very intelligent, articulate family...and when I talk to a person with a lisp I automatically picture them as being unintelligent. Plus it's just distracting. How can we have a normal conversation if all I can think about is that last word with an "s" in it that you mispronounced?? Lol. I once had a good-looking, light-skinned black man come up to my window at my job (at Rita's Italian Ice)...and I was thinking, "Man, he is so cute". I couldn't wait for him to open his mouth and say something...and then he did. With one of the worst lisps I've ever heard in my life, he said, "Can I have two large Misto shakes?"...Ugh...deal breaker. And I felt so terrible afterwards because he seemed like the sweetest thing in the world. Little did he know...that lisp gave him an "X" in my book.

(DISCLAIMER: I really don't mean to offend anyone. These are my thoughts. I told you was sarcastic...)

Pet Peeves #1

I thought it would be fun to start blogging about some of my many pet peeves...we can get tons of info out of that :) lol...
So buckle your seatbelts, and here we go.....

I cannot stand a big ego. It makes a person instantly unattractive to me. Why would you want to elevate yourself over others? I understand having confidence in yourself (honestly, it's something I have to work on, but I respect it tremendously)...but in no way should that translate into putting others down and shoving your successes in their faces. Just stop. You're really not that important. I don't care if you're Jay-Z, Kanye, or even just a guy I graduated with... Nothing that you can do can add a day onto your life, can it? If Jesus came out of heaven and still humbled himself in front of others, why can't you?! Narcissism is actually a sign of weakness to me, while humility is a display of strength.

Cartoon Lover

Am I the only person who still finds joy in watching cartoons? Sometimes I wonder if that means I'm still not mature because I'd rather watch Cartoon Network and Adult Swim than Oprah most days...(sigh)

...I say this because, yes, I'm watching cartoons right now. And Looney Tunes at that. I have two DVD sets of classic Looney Tunes episodes...and they never get old, believe me :) Sometimes the kid in you never dies, I guess.

I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but I thought I would start off by at least talking about something that has been on my mind for a while... Love <3

Love is something that has to be reciprocated. I can't stand anything more than feeling like I'm the only one contributing to a relationship. And that thought applies to all relationships, too. You should never be the only one trying to make it work, you should never feel like all your hard work is going unnoticed. Sure, you're not gonna get a medal or a cookie every time you do something right, but a thank you, a hug, any kind of acknowledgment is definitely welcome! If you feel unappreciated for a certain length of time, it may mean that you need to get out... Just saying.
