BOREDOM

When I was younger the acts caused by boredom became a form of entertainment and an excuse to act "weird." Now that I am older acts of boredom are not only entertainment but a chance to escape the "grown-up" life. Boredom tends to strike when no one is around and all judgments are off. Wildly dancing around the room then collapsing to the ground pouring tears of laughter never fails to brighten up a day and absorb the boredom blues.

For the past week at work I have experienced the boredom blues. Waking to go to work has been difficult knowing there is not much for me to do once I get there. I have found topics and routines to get me through the day but fighting off that blues is still difficult. Today I went to the bathroom as any other day but did not end up as any other day. As I'm doing my business I remembered a friend of mine telling me how he washes his ass even after wiping... I pictured myself sitting on the sink cleaning my ass after I took care of business. NOW because of boredom and my sense of adventure (no matter how big or small) I jumped up backwards onto the sink and turned the warm water on, splashed it on my ass. This felt quite nice, refreshing! Time for the soap... a squirt of soap on my hand, smothered to suds... wow this is cool, rinse it off, pat dry and call it quits, ha! What an experience, at work sitting on the sink washing my arss in the sink... when i wipe the sink and wash my hands of the invisible bacteria that might be present walk out of the bathroom and BAM! someone is waiting to use the bathroom. Just thinking about what just happened and watching the next lady walk into the bathroom made me chuckle... boredom... good shit, good times, ha!

MONEY

When you don't have it you want it and when you have it you want more.

So you finally got it... money I'm talking about. You have enough money for "the bills" and your enjoyments. You pay the car, house, food, and insurance at ease. Vacations occur every other month to exotic warm locations. You are one of the first to get that new gadget or upgrade your car. YOU HAVE money!!! Sure you may not be the richest chump on the block but you are a chump. By "chump" I mean it in the nicest way. Back to the story... you have money... you buy nice things and live in luxury. SPECTACULAR! Yet you always complain about how much milk cost, the girl scouts that always ask you to buy a box or the red cross asking for donations. That right there is what I don't understand. WHY? Why do you complain when you have so much more than you need and way more than many people including your neighbors.

Now, before you had money maybe there was a time you were broke... maybe not, but lets say your broke! NO MONEY! You live paycheck to paycheck, borrowing money from your friends and family –always trying to pay them back, just to ask them again. You work two jobs, NEVER go on vacations, eat when you need and meet your basic needs. You always talk about when you get money how things are going to change. "if I only have money" are words that come from your mouth quite frequently. Do you have a reason to complain? over the person with money? WHY? You have so much more than millions of people in this world including your neighbors.

Does money make people happy? NOPE! if you have a lot or a little if you are not happy with yourself without money you will never be with money.

There are some circumstances in which the First Amendment interest comes up against another interest that is really important and in which we have to make a decision in a particular case as to which is more important.

This is really high on the priority list of tribal concerns. This is a cash cow in many circumstances, and tribes are concerned about protection of tribal assets.

–Definitions of "FLIRT"

Knowing what flirting "is," who does it...

The Single. Flirt because they are interested in someone. The breaking of the ice. The lets get to know each other a little more. The "I'm available" sign.

The Committed. Flirt because they are unhappy in their relationship or themselves. Wifey/Hubby are not giving them enough attention or the wrong kind of attention. Can I still get this person interested in me? Do I still have it?

The Insecure. Flirt because they have negative complexes about themselves they want to hide. Uncomfortable feelings arise and it seems to be the best way to play them off is to become, how do they say that...oh yes, "cute," or so called.

The Player. Flirt because its a game. The challenge of getting someone to like or flirt back is very appetizing. Having interest or not the game is interesting enough. Forgetting that there are feelings involved, arises the challenge.

Flirting is complexed... many motives and techniques. To flirt is FUN! Warm tingly feeling arise. The chases begins. The unknown journey starts laying pavement.

SO! Is the act of flirting innocent?

Personally, I have experienced both sides of the roles listed above at one time or another and believe flirting not innocent. There we go I have made my ruling! Ha! But on the serious side... Anything with a motive is not innocent. This is not saying it is "bad" or "good," merely "non innocent." Depending on where one falls in the above categories and ones beliefs will decide if flirting is "bad" or "good" for you. To me if you are in a committed relationship, you should not flirt with anyone but your significant other. If it dont feel 100% right don't do it. ALWAYS flirt with your gf/bf/spouse... helps keep the fire burning strong! If you flirt because you are insecure... STOP! It will only hinder you now and later. You will hold onto it as a crutch and when you find that special someone it might tick her off. Beeeee yourself, there is nothing wrong with YOU. If flirting is a game to you, put yourself in the opposite shoes when feelings arose and it was all a "game" to the other person. Do you still want to play games? For the single, use it wisely. Break the ice, look cute, show interest, get those butterfly feelings AND stay true to yourself.

For everyone... There is such thing as interacting with the opposite sex without flirting. Find that medium and the confidence that comes with it will send you soaring.
