The Height of Mediocrity



K:

Wednesday wasn't a good day...I so wanted it to be a good day and somewhere out there some woman had the most fabulous Wednesday and was skittering around happy as a lark. I wanted to be her, but alas, instead I was flung into full-fledged angry woman mode. The usual suspect entered into my line of fire and if I could have tied him to a tree in a monkey cage, trust me I would have. I love men, they are often the most loving creatures with perfect dog-like loyalty right down to the lick my face kiss, but that is not the guy who's been caught in my cross-hairs. No, this guy is the Ex, codename Sketchy who does proclaim loudly that he does not want to be the Ex, but his actions are screaming "I want to be the Ex!" Confusing, isn't it? For me too! Love is just no fun anymore.


L:

Oh no K...this is sort of indecisiveness is not acceptable, it's the equivalent of sitting still at a green light...bound to cause serious problems LOL Let me get this right...is this the same Ex who promised to name a street after you and build a monument in tribute to your flyness? LOLOL...no seriously. I believe love is a many splendored thing, but not when the object of your affection can do no more than pay lip service to the very emotions to which he has never had a true formal introduction. I know there are men out there who really get it and trust...I love a good man...but I guess the Ex doesn't fall into that category and now...unbeknownst to him...there is a hit out on him coupled with threats of a monkey cage, duct tape and sharp objects... How is it that the demise of love can lead to violent thoughts and tendencies? LOLOL...


K:

I guess love evokes so much passion that when it falls short of the dream, we are wrenched from its comforting embrace like a baby being awaken from peaceful slumber. I think what annoys me most are the incidents where men strive to reach the middle. No more wanting to be the best. They often start out the gates like Usain Bolt but can't maintain the blast of speed and end up like they tumbled to the ground in the middle of the hurdles. After that, all you get are exercises in mediocrity. What is most baffling is how women maintain consistency with far more on our plates. We juggle enough responsibility to make your head spin and do it with grace, confidence and compassion.


L:
For real, I mean most days I feel like a ringleader in the circus with all the various moving parts going on in my life...but alas, as a very special person reminded me...people do and make time for the things really important to them. So like for example, let's say oh, you really want a promotion at work...errrrbody knows you have to demonstrate the commitment, work your tushie off and make sure that the right people witness all your fabulous effort. Translation: relationships are pretty much the same...somehow some of our men didn't get the email, missed the announcement and were absent that day from class. Poor dears...

K:

LOLOLOL Sooo true! Well I guess if I really need that loyalty, I am going to have to get a real dog, wagging tail and all! LOL Hmmm, I think I'll name him Mr. Sketchy...LMAO
