So many assholes, so little time....

Let me start off this blog by talking to all my men out there. Not all of you are little Lil Wayne, T.I., Jay-Z, Biggie, or any other famous rapper so stop rapping his lyrics. Chances are they've taken shits that have more talent then you. Also, don't be an asshole to women you don't know. Karma is the biggest bitch there is, and she is not to be fucked with.

This blog is all about letting the reader know just a touch more about who I am as a person. A few years ago, I had a livejournal and one post I did was a hundred facts about me. It always struck me as a cool idea, so I plan to do that again in this arena. And we're off!

Marsha's List of 75 Facts

1. I've spent a lot of time being angry and my parents for abandoning me as a child. In fact, it's been like 13 years, really. Last night, I forgave them. It isn't up to me to judge them anymore.
2. I've got two cats.
3. I had a lot of self-esteem issues when I was a young girl, but the way I got over that was walking around my house butt ass naked when no one else was home. That'll get you over your shit really quick.
4. I am obsessed with Kimora Lee Simmons. She's an icon in fashion, for those who are unaware. Hello, Baby Phat!
5. I've never been in love. Sometimes I don't think I really know what it is.
6. I've got an Associates degree in medical assisting, but I will never use it.
7. I'd like to create a clothing line for ONLY size ten and up. When will fashion designers learn they are losing out on a key demographic by now creating those sizes in mass production.
8. I have a photographic memory. I don't forget anything people tell me, most of the time.
9. I've got a lot of friends, but there are only two who I know will be down for me for the whole of my life, no matter what.

13. I believe that for every smart person in the U.S., there are at least 5 stupid ones.
14. In middle school I used to read four books a day, every day. I was a loner, obviously.

17. I am prone to depression, I feel. Especially during the holidays. All that family togetherness shit takes a toll on you after awhile.
18. The first time I reached out to a drug to help me get over my feelings (which never works, by the way) is when I was 15. The only drug we had at the time was aspirin, and I used to take at least 6 at a time every day for years on end. And although it didn't give me my desired affect, it opened up the doors for me to try other drugs.
19. My circulation system runs like shit. Always has.
20. I couldn't comfortably say the word dick until I was 16.

Just watch my wildest dreams come true, not one of them involving you...

I'm ever so sorry I haven't been around to blog kids. I've been a tad depressed lately. With losing my job and all of the other things that have been going wrong, my heart hasn't really been into anything, much less blogging. But I'm back, and I am more ferocious than ever.

This is a brand new day, and a brand new life. I've discovered that I hate where my life is at now. Now don't misunderstand that statement. I don't hate myself or how far I have come, but I want more. And I'll stop at nothing to get it. I want my dreams to come true, and I don't have time for ANYHING that brings me down. My birth was twenty-five years ago in 1983. But my life starts today - October 27, 2008. And in this new life of mine several things will take precedence.

First and foremost, I am my own number one. Not my friends, family, or even my beloved pets. Just me. No one else will take care of me, so I have to do it.

Secondly, money is the slutty mistress of power. I enjoy both.

And thirdly, life is to short to worry about fuckers who don't matter anyway. No one is who they say they are. People let the truth out with body language and reading between the lines. It's not a bad thing, necessarily. It just means I have to learn more with my eyes instead of my ears.

The one good thing that did happen while I was depressed was a new thought that I had:

Marsha's Fierce Five of the Week!

I'll be listing the new trends, scandals, dramas, music, and shit you need to know about. Yes ladies and gents, your Fashion Queen is about to let you know what's hot (vintage Valentino), and what's not (animal print). Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeee we go..........


1. Beyonce - I've been a fan of hers since back when Destiny's Child was taking over the world, but I adore her as a solo artist. Her new song "Single Ladies" is this lady's new anthem. Crank it up. Can't wait for the new album!

2. Halloween - It's four days away and I couldn't be more thrilled. It may be a kid's holiday, but we all know how to have fun with it. What's your costume going to be?

3. Lindsay Lohan - How is it that she went from one of Hollywood's brightest stars to someone that can barely keep a job?! Oh Lindsay, get a freaking clue. Those leggings you "created" look like they were attacked by weed wackers. And lets not even get into her reverse farmer tan on her feet. Listen up people: if you are getting a spray tan, DON'T FORGET YOUR FEET.

4. Candace Bushnell - I love her for creating the book Sex and The City. And I love her even more for One Fifth Avenue. If you haven't read either, get your ass on it.

5. Marsha - Why did I put myself on the list? Because I'm fabulous!

So that concludes the list.

What will she come up with next?!

If you just realize like I just realize....

So much has been going on since I got laid off from my job. And by so much I mean lots of pity and anger towards my situation. I hate being without a job, and no one is hiring so it's like I am stuck on an island with nothing to keep me company but my own growing pains.

This weekend is Howl-O-Scream in Tamos so I am looking forward to enjoying the weekend with two of my best friends. Here's to hoping it won't suck.

I have a lot of shit to say, but my brain can't slow down long enough to put it all down so I'll come back tomorrow to lay it all down.

New beginnings I sort of saw coming...

Bad news on the job front kids. Ms. Dimes was laid off from her job yesterday due to money constraints. I had had a recurring dream where I would be laid off, and I suppose it was my subconscious trying to tell me something. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, and the force that guides me would not give me a challenge I couldn't face. I can do this; I can do anything. My motivation to succeed is what makes me get up everyday and keep trying to reach my goals.

Alright, enough of the self-help commercial. There have been other things going on, but they really don't matter in the grand scheme of things right now. I have been applying to places anywhere, and something good is right around the corner. Let's just hope that corner isn't on a street 2 months of blocks away. I can't be unemployed. Quite frankly, I don't understand people who choose to be unemployed. Working for your own money is a great thing.

Things with Mr. Charles are rapidly coming to an end. He's no good for me, and I deserve someone who is. I am just going to take this weekend to focus on relaxing and having a good time with friends. I am also going to focus on rum. Sweet, beautifully delicious rum.

So, keep your heads up. And I'll do the same.

Always yours,

Ms. Dimes.
