You know the guy hitting on you is a HOBO when....


1. His dog is waiting for him outside the bar, and at times actually joins him in the bar.
2. He has a backpack.
3. When asking for your number he pulls out a non functioning cell phone... typical collecting of random found items.
4. When the cell phone clearly doesn't work, he pulls out a piece of paper and a black sharpie.
5. Instead of calling you, he wants to "come by" later...mostly because of the no phone situation and lack of housing...and money.
6. He wants to come to your house for the following purposes: to use your razor to shave, your shower to bathe and most likely your home for shelter.
7. His "story" leads you to believe he was once rich, handsome and smart.
8. His "friends" and he hang out outside "Stars and Stripes" liquor store drinking 40's, instead of on his "boat" cuz the "owner is cool."
9. Instead of buying you a beer he pulls one out of his shopping cart.
10. He is barefoot.

Okay the last two are a figment of my imagination, they did not really occur....the others however are fully accurate, but may have been embellished...slightly!

Oh dear...this momma needs to be praying for our little "sarabeara"
After watching the Bachelor I told Chad only maybe 5% of the population is dateable? They might seem ok but underneath "wingnut" But your friend was wing nut from the first roll up! But it was sweet that he wanted to share his King Cobra with you. run.....run....Love ya tons Karen~
yea! Anyone telling me about how much money they have/had (even if they're not a bum currently) I tend to shy away from! haha I love "wingnut" that might be the best word I've heard all day...and I've heard some interesting ones (junior highers are nuts themselves!)
Dateable. yes, most are NOT and I am so not willing to settle for less than the bomb, especially for less than sheltered! yikes. Tell Chaddy hi for me :)

A Quarter-Century

Today I turned 25. It seemed a little anti-climactic since I've been celebrating for the past 48 hours (life is just so hard). Being that my birthday usually falls on Labor day weekend I tend to do that. I started out Saturday with a typical San Diegan social event...beach followed by bar. Now that I'm OLD, I didn't get drunk and hung-over the next morning, instead I was what one might call balanced and had two margaritas (that were of course purchased for me, gotta love birthdays), an ice cream cone, and a good night's sleep. Holla. Sunday was the fam party which consisted of close friends, fam and OC-tastic BBQin. Since today is a Monday, and NOT Labor Day, it happens to be the first day of school. That may have been a bummer to some but to me all I can say is THANK GOD! A little structure never hurt anybody! Especially a yellow, ESFP, ADHD, Virgo! You'll have to excuse the overload on references...Color Code, Meyers Briggs Personality Test and of course the ...

This ship's about to sail

Here in Man Diego there are a lot of...you guessed it, MEN! I've encountered a few. Although I've made some strides in my effort to leave behind "Blanket Statements" (which ironically can be shortened to B.S.) I still hold onto some of the reasonable ones. We've talked before, well I've written and you've read rather, about dating and the inevitable game of text messaging. Thanks to At&T's unlimited plan I haven't gone completely broke yet. Texting is by far the #1 men's choice for communicating. Those fellas just love it. It's less effort than a call and seemingly more friendly than an email. My point is texting is where it's at. You better believe that if you're in your mid 20's anywhere remotely in the vicinity you will be utilizing this technological beast. I went on a date about 2 weeks ago with a "Nice" guy. Note: "Blog guy" existed somewhere in the middle of nice guy's stint. Remember m...

Here's why I shouldn't have a dog

This week I'm babysitting...a dog. Notice I didn't say dog sitting. The first time I watched her she was a puppy, an "untrained" puppy. That means she did her business all over my apartment, for an entire week. The positive reinforcement give-her-a-treat-when-rarely pooping-outside trick was not successful. Since I was teaching a two week Yoga and writing course at the time, with flexible hours, I figured the availability to come home at lunch, take her back to school with me etc would make for an easy week. False. As those of you who've followed my previous dating life have already concluded, I'm not too quick of a learner. And so, I committed to babysitting this dog again. I'm on Summer break, why wouldn't I have a dog with me...all day long? One that is no longer under 20 pounds especially. In the past 24 hours I've decided I should NEVER have a dog because of the following reasons: 1. The noise created by said dog chewing a bone makes me wa...
