A TOO-GOOD Marriage/Relationship?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

HUH?  That’s what I said when I say the heading of this article!  Now, you can have a too-perfect marriage/relationship.  I know not anything is perfect, but when you have something good… Why try and ruin it and make an article about being too happy! CRAZY!

The Article:
You’re the perfect couple, people say — so in sync, you never fight. Or they marvel at how you’re always together 24/7, or how you’ve got a super marriage (the Big Careers, the beautiful house, the great family). Relationship experts  asked whether there might be trouble in paradise.

The No-Argument Couple
By not fighting, you’re not engaging each other and that may be due to a fear of intimacy. These relationships can last a long time while you function well as parents without any hint of problems, but you often become more buddies than lovers. “It’s a category we call the parallel marriage,”  which tends to turn flat and colorless.

The Attached-at-the-Hip Couple
By all accounts, you get along famously. But “fused” pairs,  may harbor a fear of separation and can blend together with such strong dependence that they lack any kind of individual identity.This is especially true when you’re with each other to the exclusion of everyone else. “One partner can end up feeling trapped, smothered by the relationship, and that they can’t possibly express a need for independence without the other feeling totally betrayed,”  “So they stay and then suddenly they can’t tolerate it and they’re gone.” One warning sign of a split is a mate who seems newly distracted or “just not there anymore.”

The Two Mega-Paycheck Couple
Ultrabusy partners “need to schedule time together — set it aside, have it weekly — in a way that both are declaring that they hold their relationship precious and are giving it priority,” Love requires nurturing.  You should have at least five times as many positive moments together as negative if your relationship is to be stable. Translation: Just don’t forget to have a good time.

I thought this article was interesting and wanted to share!!!!

RIP Michael Jackson

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I logged on to Twitter 8 seconds after TMZ reported the death of Michael Jackson.  When I first heard he passed away, I thought it was total joke!  I was SHOCKED when I found out that it was confirmed!  Jacko may have been Wacko in the past few years, but he is an American ICON!  He is our generation of ELVIS! 

I was driving home from work this evening ROCKING OUT to radio stations playing Man In The Mirror and PYT!  It was amazing!  I can remember being a little girl making up dances to all of his songs.  The radio stations were all discussing everything he has done for MUSIC!  He changed music!  It was great to hear all the call-in’s of people with their Jackson stories! 

As I got home, I turned on the television and wasreally bummed by the reports of how the national news networks were covering his death.  They were discussing all of his molestation cases and not focusing on the death of an American Legend.  I do not condone the things that he has done in his past, but when someone dies especially someone of this stature, I think that people should remember him in a good light and acknowledge what he did for music.

All of that aside…. This is a sad day and a day that I will never forget!  I will always remember what I was doing the day Michael Jackson passed away.

“And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.” ~ Michael Jackson

Thoughts & Prayers with the Jackson Family!

Facebook Pet Peeve

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Why do people ask to be your friend on Facebook and then never talk to you?  I just don’t understand?  Maybe they just want to see what is on my mind or what I do in my free time.  I am not too sure, but it is really annoying.  Another pet peeve is when someone adds you as a friend and then you write them a facebook message or comment and they never respond.  What is the point?  Frustrating!!!!

The Perfect Match!

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Have you ever met those couples that dress alike (on purpose)?  Well, Tyson and I have a tendency to dress similar from time to time but, by NO means do we do it on purpose. We went to a party over the weekend and we walked in and everyone was like… OH HOW CUTE YOU GUYS ARE MATCHING?  I looked down and realized I was wearing brown and yellow and Tyson was wearing a brown shirt with yellow writing.  We laughed it off until everyone was making fun of us because they think we ALWAYS dress ALIKE! 

Now, Tyson is all insecure about it and doesn’t want to look CHEESY!  Every time he is getting ready he yells, I am wearing Brown!  I am wearing Black!  I am wearing Green!  I think its just silly!  Why would people really want to dress and try and match their significant other?  CRAZY!

So, we are both wearing Yellow & Brown?

So, we are both wearing Yellow & Brown?

Oooops I did it …. AGAIN

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse!  Today I learned ANOTHER word that I have been saying wrong!  Are you ready?

I stated that the Envelope was GARGANTUANT!  I thought gargantuant was a word!  Apparently, the word is GARGANTUAN… Yeah, there is not T!

HAHA! All I can say is… WOW! I crack myself up!

NO PUNT INTENDED!

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Amanda’s Confessions consists of the good, the bad, the ugly, and more importanly the funny (or stupidity).  Here is maybe the best post to date!

I was on facebook today and on a comment thread someone said, “No PUN intended, I’m Sure!”  I stopped and looked at the post and busted out laughing. 

I looked at Shotgun and said, “UGH… NO WAY!”  I totally thought that it was PUNT!  I never knew it was PUN!

I should really be a blonde! WHEW!

FASHION POLICE!

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Calling all FASHION POLICE!  I need to raise a Red Flag on the one and only “SHOTGUN”  he has broken all of the rules!

Below you will find a very attractive man sporting an lovely orange horizontal white striped polo shirt  and a really nice pair of plaid brown shorts.  Both of these items are trendy, but NOT together!

This is a perfect time to describe a “HOT MESS” :) 

Another Quick Pet Peeve:  Guys Black & Brown do not go when wearing a Black Shirt and Brown Shoes!  If you have any questions about fashion please do not hestiate to ask a female for advice!

Quarter-Life Crisis Anyone?

Friday, June 5th, 2009

I know it sounds silly, but I think I am having a Quarter-Life Crisis?  For those of you (like Jesse & Shotgun) who think it is incredibly ridiculous here is the 411: 

A Quarter-Life Crisis is similar to a (mid-life crisis)  but, is applied to the time period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence usually ranging from your early 20’s to early 30’s. 

Basically, I am the kind of girl that has a plan for everything!  I have always had a 5-year plan and about a year ago my 5-year plan was to graduate from college, get a job in radio, and get engaged.  Those were my three main goals that I was working hard to accomplish.  So, the other day I was just sitting around and thinking to myself what is next?  I am done with school, I have a job in radio, and I am engaged! EEEEK! 

I feel like I am getting old and have accomplished all of my goals that I wanted to within too short of a time frame.  Most people would say that is good…. But, it totally freaks me out!  Don’t get me wrong I am truly blessed to accomplish my goals and am very happy where I am right now! 

I just think I just need to learn how to be content in a situation for awhile.  It just seems like for the past 23 years everything has been BOOM BOOM BOOM!  Meaning I went from high school to college.  In college is was studying, working full-time, and internships.  Now, it’s WORK (and that is it?) 

This has really got me thinking that I need a new 5-year plan!  But, all that comes to mind is wedding planning, baby planning, and house hunting!  NOT GONNA LIE… THAT SCARES ME A LITTLE!

Panty Phenomenon

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Today on the show a gal wrote in to Jesse saying that her boyfriend and her were moving into their new apartment together over the weekend and she came across a box full of panties.  NO, they were not her panties…. IT WAS HIS COLLECTION OF PANTIES!

First thought….. WEIRDO!  Second thought…. GROSS!  Anyways, he proceeds to tell her that they were memorabilia.  Oh yeah!  He said it Memorabilia.  He then tells her that he is not going to get rid of this Box ‘O Fun unless she gets rid of all of her pictures of her exes and scrap books ETC……

I about rolled out of my chair!  YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!  Pictures are WAY different than a BOX of Panties.  I mean seriously… what kind of chick just gives away her panties, anyways?  Probably not the kind of chick you should be keeping in a memorabilia box.  I am just saying… THIS IS GROSS AND WRONG!

 I know a lot of women called in and didn’t agree with me and said that it was the past and women like me are insecure  and that we just let guys be guys….BUT, I would much rather see pictures and the faces of these women in a box than their PANTIES!
