I’m Not Racist But….

I came across a website called http://www.sleeplessinaustin.com/

This man is committed and taking the time to create a site in his quest to find the one. (Note to self – you should try this.) He starts off by saying:

I am willing to pay anyone $1,500 as a finders fee for anyone that can help find me a girlfriend. (I will give you a extra $1,000 as a bonus if this turns into marriage, I offer this extra bonus as I hope it will motivate you to find me a woman of great quality)

I have been in Austin over 3 years now and have not been successful at finding a girl that wants a long term relationship in all this time, so I would like to enlist the readers here in my search, and I will pay anyone $1,500 if you can actually make this happen.

I am 39 years old, (date of birth is 9-18-1974 so that makes me a Virgo) 6′,4″ and 195lbs. I live in South Austin. I am looking for a girl that has a thin or athletic build. No one over 130lbs. Ages 21 – 41 White, Hispanic, or of European descent.

Serious inquires only

Sounds good so far, right? Okay. Then it goes all downhill from here (note that he has since taken out this portion of his posting and the most offensive parts have been bolded):

I will not date a Black girl. I don’t care if she looks like Halle Berry, I will not ever date a Black girl.

However, I will date any other race, Hispanic, Mexican, Spanish, Russian, Italian, French, European, White, whatever, anything except Black.


I am not a racist person. In fact I tend to get along much better with Black guys than I do White guys.

However, I do not like Rap or Hip Hop music. I do not even consider that to be real music. And I do not like Black people that listen to that kind of music. I do not like Black people that have a criminal record or smoke pot or do any other type of drugs. I do not like Black people that live in the “projects” or live off welfare or food stamps. I do not like Black people that do not have a full time job. I do not like Black people that wear their pants halfway down to their knees. And I do not like Black people that don’t speak proper English and pronounce their words correctly. I do not like Black people that dress like thugs or gangstas. I do not like uneducated Black People. And if you are a Black person that lives in East Austin or up North Austin around the Rundberg area then chances are I probably don’t like you either! So there! haha!!!!!

I am NOT racist. I just do NOT like ignorant, useless, TRASH.

I also don’t like White people that do those same types of things!

And, I do not believe that Whites & Blacks should mix races sexually and have kids together.

I think it’s ok for Whites & Hispanics. But not Blacks.

I would NEVER, EVER, EVER date a woman if I found out she had EVER been sexually active with a Black man.

Honestly, the whole thing should have been bolded. Way to paint all black women with one ignorant brush. So it’s ok to be friends with black men but not date black women? Preference is preference and I will not fault you for being attracted to a certain race or ethnicity. However, if you have to convince your readers that you are not racist and repeat it several times, chances are you are a racist sir! I will let you, the reader, decide.

"Make Me a Sandwich Woman!" Said Alexander Skarsgard

There’s been a whole lot of hoopla about the site 300sandwiches.com. Gorgeous girl learning how to make a sandwich for her man…

…or so I thought. She supposedly wakes up each morning to the following conversation with her boyfriend, Eric:

“Honey, how long you have been awake?” Eric asks

“About 15 minutes,” she’d reply

“You’ve been up for 15 minutes and you haven’t made me a sandwich?”

Now before I get a bunch of hate mail, let me state that there’s nothing wrong with cooking for your man. The thing that irks me is tone and delivery – watch your tone and delivery. However, the first thing that convinced me that the girl might be delusional is the fact that she thought her man looked like the tall glass of thirst-quenching water that is Alexander Skarsgard. The second thing I thought was “Isn’t this man gay?” The pictures do not help either.

She is so close to her 300th sandwich. Here's a clip of them on NBC. 


300 Sandwich Response to Critics

She has set him up to look like an asshole if he does not propose to her. The lengths some women will go through to get a ring. Girl, at least you’ve learned how to cook…a sandwich.

What Dreams May Come

Last night I had a dream about a guy. And as my dreams about men go, it was fucked up! Thursday night, in the midst of my delusion, I sent Paul Walker a tweet. Then last night, I had a dream that featured him and Vin Diesel. We happen to meet at a swanky party. Conversation was awesome and it felt like Paul and I connected. Next thing I know, he and Vin are walking away. In a moment of panic, I yell out "Paul, where are you going?!" He doesn't look back. I yell out again, "Wait for me!" I start to ran after him. At this point, he has somehow changed into his swimming trunks. He then tells me, "Look, I'm off to the beach. If you want to join me, you'll have to take care of my cat as I surf." A couple of things run through my mind. First, AWESOME! Paul is taking me to his apartment! Second, wait, um, I'm scared of pets; especially cats. But what is a girl to do when her crush is right in front of her. I decide to come clean. I start to tell him I'm scared but out comes the cat. Or so I thought. Paul's pet is a raccoon - if I want to spend time with him, I need to take care of the raccoon. But I want Paul, I want Paul sooo bad. I bend down to pick up the raccoon and BOOM, I wake up!

Now, I know this dream probably means I'm pursuing a difficult goal. But reality is, Paul never replied to my tweet, the hunky-blue-eyed-make-me-wanna-do-something-real-bad-to-you is not checking for me. Lastly, Fast Five is the closest I'm getting owning those lips.

Sidenote: thank you little brother for the 3am texts about the movie. My lack of sleep sure does appreciate it!

Robert Downey Jr. Can Get It!

Confession time. I don't watch American Idol; never have and never will. However, I have seen very few performances posted on youtube e.g. Adam Lambert's take on Tracks of My Tears It was thus a great pleasure to see this next delight. In my opinion, Robert Downey Jr. is so cool and smooth in this. Jack Black although dramatic, has the moves down! I knew he can sing but I had no idea RDJ has some ballet and tap dance in his background. I'm loving this guy more and more. This clip is from from American Idol finale in 2008. I told you I don't watch that show!

Dreams and Reality

I think my love for tv, movies and all things entertainment is getting out of control. For one, I’m freaking out now that Lost is over I’ll have to leave my room. Not one of the crop of new shows available this fall is catching my attention…NOT ONE! And that has never happened to me! Secondly, I somehow dream about movie stars in the oddest ways. Allow me to share my dream with you.

As a kid, I shared a room with my two siblings. There was a bunk-bed and a twin bed in one room. If we had visitors, my siblings would share the bottom bunk while I would sleep on the top and the guest would have the twin bed. But in my dream, I had the twin bed, Will Ferrell had the bottom bunk-bed while Mark Wahlberg and Eva Mendes were sleeping downstairs in the living room. The movement of furniture downstairs wakes me. The first thing that pops in my mind, because I suspect I’m a pervert, is that Mark and Eva are getting it on! Will also can’t sleep and fells uneasy because his wife and friend are both sleeping downstairs.

I am then transported to the set of their new movie, The Other Guys. Mark gets injured and Eva runs to him leaving Will very hurt. Now, instead of me thinking what a horrible wife she is, I notice she’s wearing panties that are too small under her shorts. Plus, she has a wedgie. All I could wonder is why would a Calvin Klein underwear model not invest in a thong, or even panties in her size? And with that thought, I woke up. I wonder why Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson did not feature in this dream. 

Jam of The Day

Thank you to my girl Steph for reintroducing me to this song. She said, it speaks so truly to breaking up. I concur. Breakeven (Falling To Pieces) is the first US single off Irish band The Script's first cd; also titled The Script and released in 2008. I purchased their cd and I am not disappointed one bit. In fact, I've already purchased a ticket to see them in concert. You are advised to do the same. Now I have a new indie band to love and a lead singer whom I find oddly hot. Maybe it's the Irish in him... 



As a bonus, here's another cut, The Man Who Can't Be Moved.

Lust, Yeah, This Is Lust

For the past few years, I've had a hard time finding a male black celebrity to take over the teenage crush I had on Larenz Tate. Then I happened upon a little movie called Glory Road and the search was over for Mehcad Brooks. Just look at the photo below and you'll know there's no more that I need to say...

For more photos, pick the July issue of GQ. Yeah, I'm buying GQ for the first time in my LIFE!

Work and World Cup = Sadness

Today was my first day back to work after almost 3 months of leave. The timing surely sucks now that I've caught the world cup fever. What particularly sucked today is the severe thrashing the North Koreans received at the hands of Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the Portugal team.

DAYUMN! 7-0??? What did North Korea do to deserve this Portugal?! DAYUMN! I'd be mindblasted if this beauty was running towards me with a ball ;-) Would have loved to see this live but, for now, I resort to highlights. Pay close attention at 2:40; too beautiful!

Sidenote: why is Tiago not man of the match and hottie of my life?!

Tomorrow will be especially hard due to the 4 big matches being played; Mexico, France, Argentina and Nigeria. It's a green and blue day but I'll have to go with a green sweater since I don't have a blue dress. Thank God for the dvr. I'll just have to ignore all news outlets until I watch the matches after work. All world cup lovers should be given 1 month paid time off every four years during world cup. Or at least allowed to work from home. This is just torture!

Jam of The Day

I'm in a Toni Braxton mood; being a fellow Libra and all. I'm really loving her cd, Pulse. But this video and song really stands out to me. Make My Heart makes me just wanna cheer and tell the man I love how over the moon I feel about him. Alas, there's no one like that but here's to hoping.



I just had to include another song off of Pulse. The video for Hands Tied just makes the song even more sexy. It reminds me of the EnVogue video for Giving Him Something He Can Feel. In Hands Tied, there are some bonafide hotties such as Michael Jai White, Eric Balfour (looking unexpectedly hot), actor who makes want to turn into a stalker Victor Webster, Jensen Atwood from Noah's Arc and a really hot Asian older guy whom I wish I knew. Take a look at both videos and let me know which one has the better hunks. Side note: if you haven't watched Michael Jai White's Black Dynamite, please do yourself a favor and watch it. It is a riot!

The David Beckham effect.

Many moons ago, I lived in Europe. Beckham was THE footballer. Young, hot to look at and VERY single. A girl could and did dream. Look at the exhibit below:

Lord have Mercy! My sister always said, he was only good to look at. I never knew what she was implying until I heard this:



Yes, that is the David Beckham effect. A man that is so great in every way imaginable until you hear him speak. Hot factor diminished greatly! The same can be said about Taylor Lautner, Jacob in the Twilight series. That body can make a grown woman cry. But I would rather watch Twilight: New Moon muted when Jacob appears on the screen. The voice just had to kill my illicit thoughts.
