Friend-Dumping: An Epidemic

My pool of platonic male friends has dwindled down to dust.
In college I was the homie, and had an ishful of platonics. But they all got married or got into serious relationships and felt the need to friend-dump me.
If you are not familiar with friend-dumping, good for you. That means that men in your life actually give a shit. It is pretty much when a guy friend drops you because he gets a girlfriend. This could be to make more time for the gf or because the gf doesn't like you or because they literally just forgot all about you when they met a woman they could actually have sex with. Ah, boys will be boys.
This has happened to me more times than I care to discuss. One of my guy friends who most recently dumped me is getting married. I found this out from a post on his fiancé's Facebook page, equipped with this GROSS pic of them kissing. I know what you are thinking: I sound like a hater. Maybe a little. When you used to be hella close to someone, you don't expect to begin hearing about momentous events in their life via social networking alerts.
The other night I talked to my little homie Baby Cakes. I call him this because he is five years younger than me. Any way, he was telling me he had friend dumped all his female friends because his gf is a wee bit insecure. He intends to marry her, as if that is not a red flag. I said nothing, I didn't want him to dump me too. Again, boys will be boys.
Friend-Dumping is worst than getting dumped by a boyfriend. You kind of can see a boyfriend dissing you if you try hard enough. But not a friend. That is against the friend rules!
There is no defense against a friend-dump; no logic. It just happens and it stings every time. Don't end up like me ladies. When your guy friend gets a lady, just go a head and dump him first so that you can move on with your life. Don't be a Holly.

Summer Lovin'- Fail

I guess I am lucky. I declared at the beginning of the summer that this would be my summer of love. What a joke. I had been played twice not even two weeks after making that ridiculous comment, kicking myself out of the summer love game.
Now we are midway through the summer, and I am starting to get those adorable texts about love confusion and failing relationships. It's all over Twitter. It's in the subtexts of those 2 paragraph long Facebook posts. I don't know about you, but I am already stocking up on canned goods to begin celebrating my cold winter of lovelessness.
Lord, what fools these mortals be. I'm 28 and I have been looking for love since Kelly couldn't go to the prom because her dad lost his job and she had to return her dress and Zack kissed her. For those of you who are not even old enough to remember when Missy Elliot was fat, let's just say the Kelly-Zak kiss was a while ago.
Yet next summer, this post will be a distant memory and I will be putting a clip-on flower in my 'fro to symbolize my being available...still.
I'm just saving my energy. The end of the summer is always a busy time for me. I can usually be found in my bedroom, taking call after call from my love distressed friends, talking them down from the ledge.
I guess we all know what the real fear is: that every year more and more of my friends will be married and by the end of the summer three years from now I will just be talking myself down from the ledge because everyone else will be on their honeymoon.
HAPPY THOUGHTS!

Inside The Actors Studio with Jane Fonda

I can not stop watching the Jane Fonda Inside The Actor's Studio. She
discusses what it means to be a girl and I just keep playing it over and
over and over again. And to think I found this video on Youtube on
mistake.

Holly: The Phoner

Tortilla sent me her iPhone 4 when she upgraded. I got it activated last week and it has not left my hand since. Never again will I roll my eyes at those rude ass people who look at their phones while they are having dinner with someone. Who can put this phone down? Not me! Ask me any questions about politics? I have Apps for Al Jazerra English, CNN, and The Huffington Post. I am turned up on public affairs! No more missing emails and texts either. This thing jingles for everything: emails, texts, random stuff. I am no longer 2000 and late! This must be what it feels like to be upgraded:)

Diggs Duke presents "Cause I Love You"

BlackandSexy.TV on Youtube has introduced me to all this cool, grown
music. This is my favorite.

Thought

I kind of hate myself a little, but I'm not going to over think it. I'm going to chuck it up to being a girl and keep moving.

I Shaved Off ALL My Hair

I am thinking about shaving my head, even though I know I would want
to die afterward. Funny, because my co-worker just sent me the link to this
video today. Any chance I could shave my head and look as good as this girl?
