Mitzi Moments

Mitzi Moments

practice does not make perfect…

Hmmm, there’s an rather long post up on The Daily Beast that provides 15 Ways to Predict Divorce. Normally, I tend to gloss over these kind of lists. Not because I don’t think there’s any merit, there’s always something new to learn; but quite honestly, I’m not even close to getting married. I hardly need to waste energy on reasons said imaginary union might wind up in Splitsville. You know what I’m saying?


But there was one interesting fact that caught my attention:

If you’re a female serial cohabiter—a woman who has lived with more than one partner before your first marriage—then you’re 40 percent more likely to get divorced than women who have never done so.

WOMP.

So what do you think it is? Are women too quick to move in with the person they’re currently dating? And therefore, become overly comfortable packing it up when the slightest ‘ish hits the fan? Or is it just that women who have never lived & left just don’t know when to call it quits?

I for one, am remain very on the fence about the idea of co-habitation before an engagement. Not that I see anything wrong with it for other people. But after all these years, I know Mitzi. And I really, really like having a significant amount of personal space. So to have to share a living space 24/7… Whew. Let’s just say, not only will I need to love that man to death but there are def going to be those moments when I’m going to need a good TANGIBLE reason not to call U-Haul. And real talk? An engagement is prob the best answer for that. *kanye shrug*

But bigger than all the girl issues- isn’t it weird that there were no statistics offered for those men have lived with more than one partner? Cause I certainly know more than my fair share of those….

*side-eye*

the face of privilege…

In another one of those classic, who does ‘ish like this with all the access to the modern day information highway? Connecticut Attorney General Blumenthal who is currently running for a seat in the United States, has been caught BLATANTLY lying about his service in Vietnam. And not like, he was saying he was on the front lines but really he was on e of the lucky ones that made it to the rank of an officer and served his time in a remote office. Nope. Homeboy never even stepped FOOT in Vietnam… to tune of at least five deferments over the course five years.


BLANK STARE WITH THREE SLOOOOW BLINKS

Now this grown ass fool is saying that while “his intention has always been to be completely clear and accurate and straightforward, out of respect to the veterans who served in Vietnam,” he might have “misspoken” about his service during various.

Misspoken? Really? So is that what lawyers and politicians are calling lying nowadays? Hmm… duly noted.

The sad part, is I’ll bet there were a WHOLE lot of young men who fought and were injured in that war and families that lost loved ones whom probably WISH they could’ve gotten one, let alone FIVE deferments from the draft. Shaking my head.

*cough, LAME, cough*

this is gonna take more than a visit from Obama…

So yeah, about that ridiculous City of Detroit SWAT team debacle that left the innocent 7 year-old girl, Aiyana Jones dead is beyond my comprehension this morning. The End.


This is the type of unnecessary tragedy that makes me physically ill. Like, I want to get back in the bad and stage a do-over on my entire life. Cause it makes it makes absolutely no sense. How can anyone honestly believe that this is the land of the free when clearly our most vulnerable citizens are clearly living under siege??

To read that her father was face down in his own daughter’s blood breaks my heart while the actual culprit was in another part of the building?? ??And then blame the grandmother for this unconscionable decision to shoot into a smoky room where you KNOW there are children??

I. CAN’T.
And, not for nothing, what the HELL kind of incompetent people are certified for the lead position a SWAT team, but can’t subdue an elderly woman without shooting her? Huh? *insert serious side-eye*

I’m just curious.. Where they do that at?

like sand in the hourglass…

By on May 17, 2010 in end of days, it's not a game out there, pocket full of dirty tissue, why we as a people can't get ahead

WOW, I can’t believe it’s been almost a MONTH since the BP oil explosion and subsequent leak in the Gulf… And it’s still going strong. According to this morning’s NYT BP engineers finally achieved some success at containment on Sunday when they used a mile-long pipe to capture some of the oil and divert it to a drill ship on the surface of the well head. Some success? Hmmm… Now for the record, I’m all for keeping hope alive and whatnot. Howsomeva, not quite so sure that’s going to be much of a comfort when folks on South Beach are looking at smelly brown water with dead fish floating on the surface. I’m just saying.


BLANK STARE

Is it me or does it seem like every third woman you see on the street is knocked up? I mean, I know that sex is one of the few things that you can still get for free nowadays but still… it’s becoming a little nutso w the morning sickness mafia. Blank Stare. But at least the five knocked-up people I know are certain to be good parents.


Which is clearly more than anymore than anyone could’ve said for wackass Jessica Bruce who despite being 6 months pregnant decided to engage in a high-speed car chase with the cops on Wednesday night.

*cue the tragedy theme music*

Apparently, the 21 year-old refused to stop her car when the po-po tried to pull her over for speeding. Allegedly, she was drunk. But bigger than drinking and driving while pregnant, in the Georgia woman’s haste to get away; she crashed into one car, spun into oncoming traffic, was hit by another car, totaled her ride and ultimately had to be cut from the wreckage of her car. Her baby died.

Charges of feticide are pending.

Time to call E-Boogie and thank her being such an amazing mother.
