A Good Man Is HARD Too Find

Yasss ma'am yas ma'am. Now I know what your're thinking; I cant find a "good" man for nothing in this world. They all either (1) dating someone already (2) got "baby mama drama" or my favorite (3) he a dog, he known for messing around with other females. Then we get into this predicament that ALL GUYS ARE THE SAME, which in this case isn't the truth.

  ....Back to the story, as I'm reading this what I thought was going to be giving me advice on my relationship problems turned out to be the complete opposite. It starts off as the family(grandmother, her son Bailey, his wife and there 3 kids..John Wesley, June Star,and the newborn). Their discussing options as to where they should vacation to this summer, of course Grandma puts her 2 cents in and says they should go to Tennessee  but nobody wants to go. The kids on the other hand want to go to Florida but (apparently some guy by the name of the Misfit escapes prison and is on the lose) which cuts Florida out of the picture. 

   They're on the road to Tennessee (to Grandma's happiness). Speaking of the Grandma, she had me on pins and needles the entire time I was reading this book. Her poor choice of words had be about ready to jump into the book and slap her a**. Like really? You're not all perfect (but we'll get to that part later). 

   So anyways to make a long story short, the Grandmother ends up reminiscing about this place she went to with a special guy*booty call* jk. All of a sudden she realizes that  the place she visited was in GEORGIA. smdh.  With a sudden reaction she hits the cage her cat was in. (why she bring the crazy cat, idk) Now the van has flipped and she was the reason for the accident. Everyone is alive and well at this point. 

   So now they're stuck on this dirt road all because of lovely 'ol Grandma. They notice a car in  the distance...load and behold its the Misfit. They ran into the Misfit. One by one he kills the family, first being Bailey and John Wesley...then the wife, June Star and the baby :-( 

Leaving Grandma to be last. Of course he shot but that wasnt the point. 

  The point of the story was to actually so that you cant trust anybody, and that violence and change a persons outlook on things quick as a heart beat. Grandma was a bit of a racist, she used words that normally you wouldn't wanna hear in those days. And her son Bailey didnt really give to much care for her, but at the time of the shooting Bailey called her Momma for the first time in the story, its crazy how a scary situation and make you say things. And Grandma on the other hand....she realized that she wasnt perfect and she had imperfections that she knew was wrong.   

The Cask Of Amontillado

Montresor, opens the story by stating that he has been irreparably insulted by his acquaintance, Fortunato, and that he seeks revenge. He wants to exact this revenge, however, in a measured way, without placing himself at risk. He decides to use Fortunato’s fondness for wine against him. During the carnival season, Montresor, wearing a mask of black silk, approaches Fortunato. He tells Fortunato that he has acquired something that could pass for Amontillado, a light Spanish sherry. Fortunato (Italian for “fortunate”) wears the multicolored costume of the jester, including a cone cap with bells. Montresor tells Fortunato that if he is too busy, he will ask a man named Luchesi to taste it. Fortunato apparently considers Luchesi a competitor and claims that this man could not tell Amontillado from other types of sherry. Fortunato is anxious to taste the wine and to determine for Montresor whether or not it is truly Amontillado. Fortunato insists that they go to Montresor’s vaults.
  Montresor has strategically planned for this meeting by sending his servants away to the carnival. The two men descend into the damp vaults, which are covered with nitre, or saltpeter, a whitish mineral. Apparently aggravated by the nitre, Fortunato begins to cough. The narrator keeps offering to bring Fortunato back home, but Fortunato refuses. Instead, he accepts wine as the antidote to his cough. The men continue to explore the deep vaults, which are full of the dead bodies of the Montresor family. In response to the crypts, Fortunato claims to have forgotten Montresor’s family coat of arms and motto. Montresor responds that his family shield portrays “a huge human foot d’or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel.” The motto, in Latin, is “nemo me impune lacessit,” that is, “no one attacks me with impunity.”
  Taunting Fortunato with an offer to leave, Montresor begins to wall up the entrance to this small crypt, thereby trapping Fortunato inside. Fortunato screams confusedly as Montresor builds the first layer of the wall. The alcohol soon wears off and Fortunato moans, terrified and helpless. As the layers continue to rise, though, Fortunato falls silent. Just as Montresor is about to finish, Fortunato laughs as if Montresor is playing a joke on him, but Montresor is not joking. At last, after a final plea, “For the love of God, Montresor!” Fortunato stops answering Montresor, who then twice calls out his enemy’s name. After no response, Montresor claims that his heart feels sick because of the dampness of the catacombs. He fits the last stone into place and plasters the wall closed, his actions accompanied only by the jingling of Fortunato’s bells. He finally repositions the bones on the fourth wall. For fifty years, he writes, no one has disturbed them. He concludes with a Latin phrase meaning “May he rest in peace.”

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.^[1]There are about 40 valid species.^[1] There are countless horticultural varieties and cultivars. 

    I can honestly say I was completely confuse about this book. I did read it by the way. But I just couldn't comprehend the moral of the story. I would think one thing would happen then it took a 360 turn and another thing happened, it was just ALL over the place. Great Job Sweeney !!!    I think everyone would agree when I say that at one point during the story, Elisa was going to have an affair with the "wagon guy" (didn't know his name). But as the story progressed, it didn't happen. Yay?    Once again I am left to figure about what to speak this book I just so happened to read about over the week and there is nothing to talk about. NOTHING!! 

 

Fatherless Child

Your first born..how can you deny it? Daddy's little girl, I can't deny it. From scraped up knees too training wheels too first day of school,too my first heartbreak..I depended on you. Now, it just seems none of it even matters anymore. I thought I mattered to you, but I guess she does now. 

How can I ever love a man when the main man in my life doesn't care to love me. Is it possible for a man to love another woman more than his own flesh and blood? 

How dare you sit there and try to call yourself a father...a father doesn't leave his child behind to fall behind some stank tail, a father doesn't leave his child[ren] in the hands of another man too take his place, although the other does one hell of a better job than you.

I can never look at you the same after this, you've done justice.

Sincerely,

A Fatherless Child 

College Finals

Finals are literally around the corner. This semester I have 2, college math and computer applications. I'm pretty nervous about the computer but more nervous about the math one.  But I'm oh so ready for this to be over. I need a break, like seriously; between studying for finals and juggling long work hours, it is hard. I salute any and everyone that does this  on a daily basis and take care of their kids. Yeah, its not easy at all. On that note, study time; wish I was at beach week with everyone having a blast, but next time i guess. Until then, take care bloggers. Talk too you soon !!

How Do You Know If "The Guy" Is Cheating Or Is Faithful ????

 1. He’s super protective of his gadgets. “The main way that trysts are found out is through the discovery of incriminating e-mails, IM chats, cell phone texts or bills,” says Belisa Vranich, PsyD, a clinical psychologist in New York City. So if he’s being unfaithful, he may guard his gadgets or act really defensive when you innocently touch his phone or computer. It should be a giant red flag if he readily gave you passwords

2. He steps up the grooming.“This is so obvious, but it’s a sign many women miss: If your man starts grooming down there without you requesting it, that could be an indication that he’s spending more time naked,” says Vranich. You can actually thank porn for this tipoff. Guys today are used to viewing manscaped dudes onscreen, so if he has another chick to impress with his sexual prowess, he may emulate those ultra-trimmed guys. Another clue: He’s spending more time at the gym. 
 

3. He smells different. “When he comes home, if he doesn't smell the same as he did in the morning, and it isn't the scent of soap in the gym or at your home, it may be because he’s showered at her place,” offers Vranich. So pay attention, because in this case, that old saying “the nose knows” might very well be true

 4. Nothing fazes him anymore. “If he was short-tempered before, a combination of added sex and attention could be making him way more relaxed, even downright giddy,” Vranich says. Adds Mira Kirshenbaum, author of When Good People Have Affairs: Inside the Hearts and Minds of People in Two Relationships: “If your guy is suddenly going around all happy and whistling, then you need to find out why.” 

5. He becomes suspicious of you. “If he’s normally a mellow type, all of a sudden he may want to know where you are all the time and with whom,” says Vranich. “It’s the result of him realizing that if he’s cheating and it’s not that hard, you might also be getting away with it.” Also, beware of extremely detailed responses to even your most innocent “How was work today?” queries. He may be preparing epic answers because he’s terrified of getting caught.

One caveat: If your sex life hasn't fallen off, that’s no guarantee that he’s faithful. “It’s a serious mistake to think that affairs are necessarily sexual. He may just be unhappy in other parts of the relationship,” says Kirshenbaum. In fact, an illicit relationship could even stoke his lust for you.
