"JustTrina"

According to Jenn, tropical storm "Gustav" is predicted to be the 2ND worse storm to hit land...since f'n KATRINA. What happened to the days of "Walking on Sunshine," sheesh!?!

So my darling friend (and other half) made out with a caucasian gentleman last night. Thing is, she wasn't quite sure how to proceed from there. He made moves that to me, were usual for the behavior of a young white man, but to her, messed up her equilibrium. Not to draw the racial line in the sand, but there are certain mannerisms and virtues shared by the male sex that also get divided by their upbringing. For example, this young man made moves to, um, "digitally pleasure" my friend, which she wanted no parts of. She's used to the usual progression of making out to actual sex, digital penetration are the moves of a middle schooler as opposed to those of a "grown man." (her words, she's behind me dictating...she actually used the words "finger fuck champ," but I'm classier than that.) This has inspired a little book I like to call "The Swirl: How to deal with Interracial Relationships." Since she's the one who gets into ...

Let me lay this out. My phone isn't paid for, but I answer EVERY CALL I GET, no matter what time of day or night. Other people actually have their phones paid for, and NEVER PICK UP. They listen to my voicemail and text me back an answer. It sometimes annoys me, but I pride myself on my voicemail leaving abilities and normally don't mind. As of last night, I'm DONE. From here on out, if I call someone and they don't answer, I'm NOT leaving a voicemail. If a ball gets dropped, so f'n BE it. It's time to start holding people responsible for not handling their business, because they're the ones with benefits.

All right, kiddies, I wanted to wait a few days before I starting blogging about my journey into making a lifestyle change, but I'm having a rough day so I have to vent about it. Last Monday, I started Dr. Ian Smith's "Fat Smash Diet." I'd always planned on doing it, but it took my latest foray into the real world and heart-wrenching conversation with my dad to really get on the ball with it. The diet starts off with a "detox" period of 9 days. During detox, you can basically eat nothing but fruits and vegetables for those beginning days. Sprinkle in some cream of wheat (or oatmeal, whichever you prefer), brown rice, beans and tofu, you've got your entire menu for almost a week and a half. I breezed through the first 6 days nearly without incident and then all the sudden, a craving HIT ME yesterday. Being day 7, I chalked it up to a fleeting instance and went about my business. The craving gained momentum as the day progressed, though. I was co...
