Sick of open not being open.

            The ‘news media’ will do anything to try and sell. One thing that is no surprise, they use sex. No just news but everything. The names of shows are the latest ploy: Wife Swap, Pawn Stars. These are obvious play on words and or situations that are sex based. Why? Salaciousness sells.

            News stories like to try and use porn stars to sell their stories. Bill O’Reilly did this a bunch back around 2000 to 2002, when I used to watch him. Actually, it was one way yelling [mostly me yelling at him]. Stories about porn stars on papers. Bree Olson hanging out with Charlie Sheen. Things like that. Why even mention what she does? Does anyone know what the other ‘goddess’ does? Even remember her name? But Salaciousness sells so mention that someone is hanging out with a porn star and it is news. Actually is it is old ‘news’; Charlie Sheen used to hang out with Ginger Lynn as well so it wasn’t the first time Sheen did this.

            Lately, I have seen news stories about famous couples with open marriages. There was an unconfirmed uproar that Jada Pinkett and Will Smith have an open marriage. I never saw any stories that actually confirmed other partners. But that wasn’t the point. Just the insinuation got tongues wagging. Got me to click on it. But, no substance.

            Same has happened with other stories as well. The cover of Essence magazine for July 2006 reeled me in by saying that the main story was the actress Monique, Oscar winner, and her husband have an open marriage and she was going to talk about. In fact, also said it was self-love and open marriage.

            Got me.

            The self-love wasn’t masturbation. It was just about pride. There is nothing wrong with that. But it was salacious way of putting it.

            And the open marriage, not so much. It is the future option to be open. Actually, it is the ability to have sex with someone else and still be married. Ok. So they are forgiving. Or they think they will be. But open. No. That is not open. That is just forgiving, maybe, in the future, if it happens. Maybe. BS.

            Same with Bethanny Frankel and her husband. She has a talk show or something? Anyway, I saw a thing online that she confessed to an open marriage.

            Got me.

            Is it open? No. Each one of them has a celebrity pass or hall pass or whatever you want to call it. He has one female celebrity. She has one male celebrity. Once again, this is just forgiveness.

Now, in her defense, Frankel actually called it what it is. It was another website I won’t mention that tried to make more of it. But why? It was actually just false.

            This was brought up watching a movie Swinging with the Finkels. I will spoil the movie. But what the frak? The title does not fit the movie. This is not the first time Hollywood did or does or will do this, using sex to sell. But Hollywood could actually have sex in it. They choose not to. Why? Why not just have the sex?

            Don’t get me started about 50 Shades. I am so frakkin mad about that. But that is a rant that won’t stop. I am so upset with that but that is for another time.

            Anyway, I am sure there are people who are open. They swing. They have times on, times off. Why is that so taboo? Seriously. People cheat or are monogamous. Some of actually monogamish too. I am sick of hearing it just doesn’t work. Heck, monogamous doesn’t always work either. UGH. Now I am ranting and it is not making sense.

            In the end, if you are going to use sex to sell, actually have some sex in the story.

My happiness is still out there

I have had some pretty bad relationships here of late. [Mind you, this is all in perspective. No one has hit me or rape me or anything life changing like that. This is really just whining because, I could have it a lot worse.] They have caused me to believe I am an emotional cripple at best. I am not putting my full self into any relationship. This does not bode well for my future. I am probably just going to continue to lose women, good or bad. But maybe that is my fate. And you know what, I will be fighting fate.
First there is my ex. She talked about being done and ready to move on. But, she didn’t file for divorce. I did. This was months after she was done. And after saying she was ready to move on, she made wild accusations and stories against me to anyone who would listen, my work, the state, the judge, anyone. How if she moved on?
I could go on. But what is the point? I am going to move on though.
Then there is a woman I tried to date. Big mistake. I tried to be friends with benefits which would have been truly beneficial because she has another person she is involved with who is not available right now. But she didn’t trust me at all. Not for a second. Then tried to say, despite having no trust, we should be together.
First it was for the doctor, which I found legitimate. Then my ex got in touch with. Then my ex got in touch with her again, two weeks later, ex really moved on huh? I know classy. I am not sure the last three times why she asked. Can you see a pattern? Lots of trust there. Lots to build on.
I am not the type of person to get questioned and still feel good about things. The first time, I answered and she didn’t get back to me for a while, but I played the spot. The second time, I was mad at my ex. The last four times, I was mad at her. And I was done that third time.
Now understand something. We never met one another outside of whatever home I was staying in. She came over, we spent time, and she left. Never even went on anything like a date or the movies or nothing. Is that someone you would fall for?
I wasn’t ashamed. I wasn’t afraid. But her involvement was supposed to be long term beyond our friendship. I tried to play within those rules. But she wanted to changes the rules part way through.
I got fed up with being constantly questioned about my “faithfulness”[I wasn't faithful, I did tell her about the people I was with. When you are with someone who is involved, that is about as faithful as I can manage]. I tried to tell her the deal but to no avail. I didn’t belong to her and generally didn’t want to. But, she wanted to believe that I was just cold hearted, which really I am; to believe I am a liar, which I am not, and believe I am a bastard, which is an insult to my parents.
Now, a month after I asked her politely not to contact me because her end of the contact had become attacks. Well today she sent me a bunch of pictures of what women had done to things [cars, boats, and other objects] of cheating husbands. Classy. Yeah that is something you send to your friend, right after you have stabbed them directly in their back I believe. She is a classic cyber stalker. Apparently she thinks I am a teenage girl on MySpace. Her games are trite and I am not going to respond directly. Despite the fact that I am whining about them here.
Then there is another woman I was involved with. We may stay friends. The reason I say may is; our friendship is very complicated. I want nothing but the best for her life and she reciprocates in spades. She is a true friend and I am trying to be one for her too. While we both care for each other like a real friend should. There are, as there always are, other people to consider. And that will probably get in the way.
First and foremost is her man. He is intimidated by me, I think but I can’t ever be sure because we have never had a conversation and I doubt we ever will. I know why, because I and she have a bond.
So he, like my ex wife, has started making up stories about me. Once again, classy. Some of the stories are, in concept, the same things that my ex came up with. That I am an abuser. But they are so far fetched that it breaks down before you can even ask a question. He, like my classy ex, has not a shred of evidence. I was not even in the correct state to have perpetrated these acts. This is desperate. He has her so he doesn’t have to attack me. Desperate.
Now he says I am calling him names. I ma not sure what will be next but I am sure something is on the way.
I am so through with his pettiness. I feel like “Clueless girls”; “Whatever”. I am sure he will continue on. I have no control over him, nor do I want any. When he wakes up and realizes, he has a lot more control over himself then he does me, he will be a lot happier. But it is just beyond me how these things continue to happen.
He really is just demonstrating maximum bitchassness [Diddy let’s me use this word.] As well as maximum jackassery [That is something I made up. I am going to send it to Diddy. He will make it hot.] He has two kids he should be worried about, at least because there may be more. He has debts he should be paying. He should be getting a job. He has knobs to slobber. If he was ‘about his business’ and not in mine, I wouldn’t even be a threat at all. But he is just as blind as the other two I described above. None of the three know what the real problem is.
You know why? No goals.
I have put in earlier post, some things I want to do. Goals. Are they nasty and disgusting? Hell Yeah. But you know what, that is me.
If your goal in life is to tear me down, good luck. Because I could be happy working at McDonald’s taking people orders. Hell, I will mop the floors. I don’t need things. But there are things I want.
And to get the things I want, I can’t let bitchassness get in my way. I got to step past that. So while I care for my friend, soon, I may have to step past her because I can’t have the bitchassness weighing me down. And if I let her go, he falls too. That might be the solution I just hope it doesn’t come to that.
I seriously just want to find one woman who I can happy with. We shut ourselves off in a cave and live together. Frak the whole rest of the world.
Or maybe we volunteer for the Mars mission. We get to be together for the next five years in space. Frak the rest of the world. And hope the Cylons don’t attack. [Yes I am BSG fanatic from the original series. Frak yourself if you don’t like it.]
I know my ex had a goal; it was just counter to mine. So, we had to split. The woman I dated, her goals where constantly focused on other people. But, if those other people have different goals, like I do, then you are always going to fail. And the last woman does and doesn’t have goals. I know it is complicated but that is why “WE” are so complicated. And the guy she is with, he says he has goals and conveniently forgets them when it is convenient for him. Like when it is time to work and skip the bitchassness, now the goals change. How strange.
In the end, in my own way, I will always care for all these women. My ex girlfriend before my wife, as a fourth woman, I cared so much about her. But, I need to have control and so did she. I wanted 60% controlling interest and she wanted 70%. This obviously won’t work.
I know that she is married now. And the last I heard from her, she was happy. And honestly, that is just fine with me. I can love someone and know that they are happy with someone else, and be perfectly satisfied with that.
If I knew that I had to be alone so that others could be happy, I would be fine being alone. Like Caine on Kung Fu, I will walk the Earth if I am told to do so.
But, I do want more. I do want to be with someone. I want one woman. Is that too much to ask for? It might be.
