The Perfect Relationship

Finding a soul mate seems nearly impossible in today's society. With divorce rates, adultery, and sex out of boredom increasing by the second, it's not surprising that people have lost faith in the sacred authenticity love once had.

The attributes and values that people look for in a potential mate have evolved drastically over the years and no one can find a perfect man today. In every sitcom and movie I have watched, women delve into their snacks and love lives, spending all hours of the night constructing their "ideal guy." (Girlfriends, Sex and the City, etc). This topic has been discussed so much that studies are being done on them.

Christine Roberts of the New York Daily News wrote about a study conducted by dating website, WhatsYourPrice.com, on the perfect man for a woman. Out of the 9,000 plus women who participated in the survey, 40 percent of women who reside in NYC say that their perfect man should be in hitting the gym on the regular. For Chi-town, about 30 percent of women need their man to have some education under their belt (at least a Master's degree), whereas both Boston and Las Vegas both need their potential men to have an impressive income.

The study looked into other factors, such as appearance and preference on smoking and drinking. While these can impact the chances of a potential mate, other things can be looked at as well. Like, is he spiritually grounded? He may be making that money, but how is he managing it? How does he react to daily stresses and pressures of life? Let's not forget loyalty from both sides.

I'm sure this survey was created was for fun and I'm sorry for getting all serious with it...almost. The funny thing is that despite these dating surveys, relationships tests and romantic morality being jeopardized, I still believe that it is possible for a woman to have her perfect man.

Top 10 Interesting Highlights of my Summer

10) One week before I went to NYC, my mother allowed me to hack away at our tree with a chain saw. The left over wood will be used for seating stumps and shelves we plan to build in our house. 9) I was stressed during the semester that I wouldn't get into any of the 30 internships that I applied for and I was blessed with two of them: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for Web Productions and Honey Magazine for writing. Now, I will finish my degree in December!!!! 8) During my lunch hour, I walked 20 blocks around West Chelsea, and lost 15 lbs as a result...I like this :0). 7) I realized that the city is both expensive but awesome for bargains (bought the cutest bag for $10)! 6) Prince was in NYC at the Apollo at the beginning of June with song diva Mariah Carey...how did I miss this?????

Another Google Adventure

As I sit here listening to Jennifer Hudson's new album, I'm reflecting on the latest news stories that have been popping up for the last 24 hours via the internet and radio stations.

What does baby mama mean? Now, because I choose not to tell you, the free-willed citizen who reads whatever your heart oh so desires, what to do, I'll let you pick out which one of these stories is more important to you. I'll just end this post with words from my sister's status... RIP Liz Taylor but there's still entire families dying in Libya right now... P.S., realizin

Redirecting the Dopeness

As [somewhat] normal human beings, we fight daily battles to preserve our lives as well as our minds. We fight to... maintain spiritual enrichment of the self (and family) express ourselves in a free yet firm form have time away from our quotas, goals, and missions for peace of mind manage the home along with the career  avoid late payments More can be added to this list, but you catch my drift, yes? Ok, moving forward... Mental trauma interjects itself into your plan, beautifully unscheduled. It can range anywhere from mild depression to extreme chaos on the job. Whatever is ensuing personally begins to take an effect on your performance professionally. How so? Let's take a trip back to basics. What is the perceived threat that's affecting how you work?
