Random Rant: Overly Drunk


                Normally I do enjoy a good time, maybe have a couple of drinks if I’m not driving, spend time with my friends, and generally cut loose. I don’t however enjoy getting myself utterly shitfaced and making a complete YouTube worthy ass of myself. Nor do I enjoy particularly watching someone who is that shitfaced drunk. Recently however one of my roommates did just that.
                Drunk is basically defined by being intoxicated on a substance that can impair basic physical and mental functions. Urban dictionary defines shitfaced as: to be extremely drunk/wasted/so drunk that you black out, pass out, or fuck something you really shouldn’t have; like the 400lb woman with duck-butter vag. He was damn near You-Tube worthy.
                The part that I hate about being that drunk is that you have very little control over yourself and can make some very stupid decisions, such as hitting someone with an already injured hand. I live in a house with 7 other people. This is pretty much the party/bachelor pad because not one of us in the house are married. I shack up with my boyfriend, there are 2 more couples, and 2 older single guys. Needless to say that testosterone tends to flow a lot more than estrogen, and it’s a bit of a sausage fest. My roommate got so drunk he needed a designated walker.  He pissed on himself on the Hide-a-bed couch (luckily it was on the mattress and not the couch cushions). He tried to punch me a couple of times, whacked one of my roommates in the face with the fiberglass splint he has on his arm, and was incoherently jabbering on about random shit (like he said he loved my boyfriend). Frankly it was half way between hilarious and utterly aggravating. The next morning at about 10, he was still drunk. I kicked his ass (literally foot to ass) and told him to get in the shower because I’m making him clean up his mess. Apparently from one of my fellow roommates, he took the shower in one sock and his underwear. At this point I am aggravated with him because I know exactly why he got himself so fucking shitfaced.
                The back-story with this one is that he’s 21, and he has issues;  issues that he’s running from. I’ve told him time and time again to get his issues straight, and stop running from them. Obviously it’s working like a Swiss cheese bucket. This has happened often enough that I worry that he has a drinking problem. He’s steadily going down the path to becoming a raging alcoholic. As far as I’m concerned I don’t want him to be drunk and be around me for my own safety. If I have any say in it, he’s not drinking while I’m around.

Ho's, Drama Queens, and Bitches: Part One, The Ho


*Disclaimer: there will be coarse language used in this post, if you’re easily offended and get sand in your vag, fucking deal with it, you may be part of the problem. Straws and tampons ladies, either suck it up or plug it up.*
                Ladies, have you ever wondered why we have so many stereotypes placed on ourselves? Have you ever wondered why guys say some of the stupidest things about us when seemingly that they don’t know what they are talking about fully? Well the sad thing is, is that in a lot of ways we did it to ourselves. The things that get plastered through pop culture get plastered on us in our daily lives.  From the way we dress, to the way we act, all the way down to the way we talk. I’m going to name just a few and do my best to pick them apart from my perspective. 
 “Damn that girl’s a ho” “Eww… Skank” or others of the like: First off, I will say that of course not all females are hos/skanks/insert negative sexually active slur. There are plenty of women out there in the world who are truly and honestly wholesome women. They don’t sleep around; they’re genuinely nice without having ulterior motives, so on and so forth. What I’m going to take on are the people who are perceived to be a “loose” woman.
                So the question is; why are so many ladies perceived as such? I’ve noticed in the short time of my existence, that often these ladies (and I use the term loosely in some cases) are often the party girls. These girls often have had a slew of boyfriends/girlfriends before the age of 25, and many are “known” to have put out to many of them. Some were putting out on the first night, or very early on in the “relationship”. That being said: if you’ve had your way with many guys/girls and the relationships don’t last, is it really beyond the scope of perception that you are a loose woman? Have you maybe tried to figure out exactly why the relationships didn’t work out, or did you just blame the other party for ditching you for someone else/ cheating on you? Have you sat down and actually looked at yourself and tried to get to the root of the issue as to why your relationships aren’t working, and why you keep having the same issue of it doesn’t last? Chances are you’ve probably said yes to a lot of these, but in all actuality you are probably lying to yourself. More often than not the answer is no to all or at least part of it. In my experience I’ve noticed that in a lot of ways these girls need validation and affirmation of sorts. Whether it’s feeling like they are worth being loved, that they are beautiful, or any other thing that they are insecure about, often the string of relationships is an attempt to find that missing thing in them. The problem with this is that it rarely works. She’ll get hurt, whether it’s physically or emotionally, and then the whole relationship will just go completely south from there. When that happens, the relationship ends and she’s faced with her insecurities again. When that happens she seeks comfort in the arms of the next person who will give her the time of day. Sometimes it ends up in a one night stand; sometimes it ends up in another relationship.  Either way she started the cycle all over again, whether she realizes it or not. This cycle isn’t invisible to others, people in your circle will notice. When they notice that is where the trouble starts. The perception of “ho-dom” starts when you (the perceived ho) keep running through guys/gals like you’re a chain smoker with a carton of cigarettes, this is especially true if you start dating people within your circle. Humans have this uncanny ability to run our mouths to other people, especially when we have some information that could be detrimental to another person. We can be especially cruel when doing this. Gossip is rarely ever good. The little old ladies in town are going to talk about the negative things that they see more often than the positive. Of course they talk about the positive, but the negative often spreads faster than the positive stuff. It’s just in our nature to do so. When word spreads, people make assumptions. Most often those assumptions are based off of incorrect or incomplete information. What’s difficult is correcting that information in a large group without making you look like a fool.
                In all honesty the best way to keep yourself from looking like a ho in the matter of relationships is to not rush into a relationship in the first place, and for god sake be picky about who you sleep with. If you gain a reputation of not putting out on the first night, and waiting until you actually get to know the person, you’ll find that your relationships are probably going to last longer. Make your partner earn the right to get into your pants and they’ll most likely respect you more.
                The second part of this is looking like a ho. If you don’t want someone to stare at your tits, ass, etc… don’t dress in something that barely covers the asset that you are having a problem of people looking at. If you want a guy to look you in the eye, don’t wear a top that has a neck line that goes to your belly button. If you have a problem of people staring at your ass, don’t fucking wear shorts or skirts that barely cover your butt cheeks. Don’t wear pants that are skin tight, especially when you are wearing chonies that have a significant panty-line. Don’t wear dresses that when you lift your arms or sit down it becomes a shirt. When you’re out on the beach, wear a swimsuit that covers more than just your crotch and your nipples. If you don’t want them to stare, don’t give them any ammo. There are plenty of fashions that are flattering that don’t bare it all. I’ve talked to guys and often times they are more interested in the woman that isn’t bearing it all. It leaves more to the imagination. If you have a problem with people looking at you, either get over it or change how you look to draw attention away from yourself. Now on the flip side, if you don’t give a fuck, and you don’t care if they look, then don’t give a damn if someone thinks of you in a negative light. What others think of you should have no bearing on what you think of yourself. You are you, they are themselves, if they have a problem with you; they can fuck off. It’s that simple. Just don’t be surprised if you are labeled as a ho.
This brings me to my final point of the day. Humans for some reason cannot seem to go through the day without  putting a label on something or someone. It is an attempt to organize and categorize their lives. Everybody (and I do mean everybody) does it. Whether you’re the richest person in the world to the lowliest homeless person, across all walks of life, every race, every creed, color, orientation, and every gender, it doesn’t matter.  So knowing this, realize that everybody has a label for something. It’s going to happen. It may piss you off. It may hurt your feelings. However it’s a fact of life that we all are just going to have to deal with.
