SIZE 28 JEANS ARE NOT FOR MEN!!!

Ladies can I please get a witness? Skinny jeans are all the rave for a few years now, but why do men feel like they have to wear the same size jeans as us? There is no reason why I should see your private parts imprinted within the crotch area of your jeans. Not only are the jeans tight, they are also sagging below the behind. I've seen some teenage boys even go as far as shopping in the girl's junior's section for skinny jeans, if their size isn't available in the boy's section. As I'm laughing my ass off at this whole phemomenon, it's always boggled my mind as to how these girls and women walk down the street with dudes whose pants are tighter than hers. It's additionally scary to think how hard it must be to take those tight pants off. We women are used to things like this, tight jeans, shoes that are too small, wearing stiletto pumps knowing our feet feel miserable.

Watching a dance hall video a couple of years ago was the first time my girlfriends and I saw this dress code. Men prancing around in tight jeans with a silver chain hanging by the waist side. We laughed at the style as it looked very "girly" and not masculine at all. The style quickly spread like wild fire even among rappers.Many imitate what they see on the tube and follow right behind them. My friend and I decided to ask a few of the younger boys from the neighborhood why they like skinny jeans. She caught one boy coming out of the corner store, he was obviously having a hard time carrying the groceries and keeping his pants up. She asked him why he was wearing tight jeans that were hanging off his ass. He replied "so I can show off my high top sneakers." She laughed in amazement at the weak reasoning behind his size 28's.  He asked why she was laughing so hard and she replied  "truth be told chicks don't like men who wear their little sister's jeans." Ladies and men also can I get a witness?  Can we please (lol) tell these guys that it's not cute style or not.

Are libraries really that quiet?

Libraries are like sanctuaries, quiet, serene and relaxing. Hoping to get your work done is not the hardest part when going to the library. Well maybe it is because it's not as quiet as it should be. Kids and sometimes the adult staff congregate in the areas designated "quiet" study areas. What's up with that? The bigger libraries are a little better because there are floors that have areas and corners that are not swarmed with tweeners.  I feel for people who go to the smaller branches in their neighborhoods, especially if there are schools in the immediate area. Students flock to the library directly after school many not doing homework, just congregating with their friends. "The parents tell their kids to go to the library after school as if we're a babysitting service," said Shawn a clerk at a small size Brooklyn branch. "I've had to kick out several kids for being loud, using foul language and destroying books," he adds. He complains of a lack of security and unruly kids who stroll in after school and ruin the atmosphere for others. "Not all of the students act this way, but the few that do affect other kids who do come to the library and read books."

     A former employee of the library system also remembers several times when kids were very impolite and noisy. "They were a mess. They acted like they had no parents or sense of home training at all. From speaking loudly while others were working, to occasionally breaking out into fist fights. It was shameful," says Paulette.  She also recommends the best time to go to the library is before school lets out or before 2 p.m. If you can find a larger brand in your immediate vicinity that's a plus also.  "It was a breath of fresh air when we came across someone with respect and manners," she concludes.

Is All This Texting Necessary?

Can someone please tell all these random companies to STOP TEXTING ME!! As annoying as it may sound, it is as equally annoying to receive the ring tone that I have just received a text message to my phone. It's a message from an unknown number. As a matter of fact it came from a company who wants to sell me prescription drugs. What's up with that? Or the one that sells stock to you for pennies on the dollar. Why oh why is this so unnerving? It all started on election day Nov. 4, 2008. I received my first text message at 5a.m. that morning, ordering me to get up so that I can beat the long lines at the polling centers. Now I live in a small town in the Midwest with a population of 11,000. I knew there would be no line. As a matter of fact when I arrived at the polling center (which was a fire house) there were only five people there and a little old lady with orthopedic shoes on helping me sign in. But that's not the kicker. Election night, I received random texts one after the other about how Obama won and how we needed to go out and celebrate. Most of these messages were forwarded messages that my friends received. I eventually had to turn my phone off after sending a random mass text message to all in my phone book.
Thanksgiving morning was when the next swarm of messages seemed to consume my morning. The first text came in about 9 a.m. as I watched the parade on television. "Happy Thanksgiving, eat a lot" etc., etc. It was fine when it was from a few friends and I was happy that I was receiving warm wishes. Then it started to get out of control when I started receiving unnecessary texts that had nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Then comes the derogatory text messages, that are explicit in nature. I don't want to have to open up messages containing foul language, pics of genitalia and comments that could have been saved with just a phone call. People if you have something to say, PICK UP THE PHONE! :D Sphere: Related Content
