Well blog readers, that day is almost here. YES.....the day that drives men crazy and women even crazier....Valentine's Day. I am yet again Valentine-less. This is one of the holidays that I do NOT support. Its just a publicized excuse for couples to makeout where ever they damn well please. Its an excuse for girls to get presents and guys to get laid...(or so they hope lol). Its frustrating and slightly sickening, but I sadly have fallen prey to that feminine desire to want someone to snuggle with on V-day.
Anywho topic two of this blog....books. Yeah i know it doesn't seem like that 's something that follows that into but I promise they're kinda sorta linked. So about 3 weeks ago a little birdy told me that sometimes guys feel intimidated by girls that read. Now before you start burning bras and saying that all men hate intelligent women that's not what he meant. What he meant was that girls sometimes read books like Twilight or some other books geared towards teen girls (or that little hint of femininity in all girls) and guys are intimidated by the books themselves. They feel like they have to live up to the guys in these books and do exactly as they do other wise their actions go unappreciated. No I can't speak for all girls, but I know the difference between reality and fiction literature. I know that there are maybe 0.1% of guys out there that may possess some of the qualities that guys in novels posses and that they are in high demand so I'm not expecting every guy I meet to be an Edwards Cullen or a Jacob Black.
Here lately I've been reading this series called Drama High by L.Divine. She's an excellent Black author that writes for educated black girls/women. The main character in her book (and several others)reminds me of myself; she's strong minded, she has alot of drama surrounding her (that she's always dragged into) and she's smart and criticized by others for it.
Now how does that link with what I was saying? Guys and girls a like have no idea what the other one wants. You may think you know, but you don't! It slightly frustrates me that some guys have the mentality that they can't do anything romantic because it won't be appreciated or it won't be enough. If your girl is a trick (i.e. little girl) then yeah you risk her not liking it. If she's a girl then she's most likely think anything you do is cute, but she may have "ideas" about what "romantic" is. But if you have a mature girl (i.e. a woman not a little girl though I'd argue you can be a mature girl and not a woman and a woman on the outside, but a little girl on the inside) then romantic is just showing her you care.
I personally read books like Drama High because that's honestly the only place I can find romance because guys these days can be trifillin'. They either don't want to try to be romantic or they don't know how. The days of the gentlemen are gone. Now it's all about who has the biggest car and who has slept with the most girls well at least black guys. And then you have your pretty boys who take more time getting read than some girls. And the actual nice black guys are either taken or in a subcategory of the larger MISC. category. And white guys, most that I've encountered, can't handle me. They say I"m too loud or a bitch or too outspoken and I say....oh well forget you!....And other guys I just haven't dated or come in contact with so it wouldn't be fair to say something about their view of me. Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to judge these are just observations and there are of course exceptions to every rule.
I could go on and on but I won't lol. So this Valentine's day I'll either be staying inside and avoiding couples at all costs or be on a date with some lucky guy. But if your a 1 of 2, then Happy V day to ya'll and enjoy each others company and love. And if your a single like me then hey all I can say is keep looking and love will find you or be content as you are. Happy V day everyone and maybe next time I'll have a more happy blog.
Peace, Music, and Love
