Bitches get shit done

When it comes to hormones, emotions, and peer pressure sometimes being a woman can seriously suck. But the best part of being a woman is we can take it all and still go out into the world and get shit done. Being a woman is such a powerful thing that can reap countless benefits.

"I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass." - Maya Angelou

Just like most people in the south, I indulge each week in the ABC show Nashville.  Hayden Panettiere plays a sassy controlling young country singer who takes full advantage of her looks and power. At the beginning of the season I really just wanted to punch her.  But the more I think about it, the more I would kind of like to be a little more like her. She knows what she wants and she's willing to do whatever it takes to get there. As Tina Fey would say, "bitches get shit done".  She sang a song called "I'm a Girl" a couple of episodes back that kind of resonated why being a woman has its perks. One of the verses says, "I'm a girl I got skills I can dance all night in five inch heels can make you feel like the luckiest boy in the world..". Another says, "I'm a girl oh yeah I can get a free drink from flipping my hair". How true is all of that? I mean, I can't personally wear five inch heels with out making a fool of myself..but you get the picture.

We know what we want in life.  We have dreams and goals.  We are always willing to take the steps needed to achieve them. Not only do we have these ambitions but we also have the emotions that push us to work harder.

Alicia Keys' song "Girl on Fire" kind of sums it all up.

 "Looks like a girl, but she's a flame, So bright, she can burn your eyes, Better look the other way, You can try but you'll never forget her name, She's on top of the world, Hottest of the hottest girls say"

Another good example is Lana Del Rey's "Radio"

  "American dreams came true somehowI swore I'd chase 'em till I was deadI heard the streets were paved with gold.."

Clearly I love music and it inspires me in so many ways. Here lately it has just been reminding me to be the strong motivated woman that I know I am. I love that. It makes me want to work hard and be a better person to reach the goals I have set out for myself and my career. It makes me want to get shit done.

Until next time,

Stupid Cupid Laws of Love

Let me start out by saying a big fat HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Let's be honest, Valentines Day is right up there with New Years Eve for the most overrated holidays.  Don't get me wrong, I think it's super awesome to get showered with candy, flowers, and jewelry. But I don't think guys should need a holiday to celebrate their women. Sounds like something a cat lady would say, right? Oh well. I'm content with the way I think because Adam Levine said the same thing on the E! Red carpet before the Grammys.

But what really bothers me are the girls that sink into depression on Valentines Day if they don't have a significant other. I mean, I'm single-ish right now and I am totally excited to spend my night with three of my really beautiful single friends. Why? Because those are the people that make me smile. Valentines Day is all about love. I firmly believe everyone should spend the day doing things that they love.  Not a single soul should spend the day picking his or her brain about what could be wrong and why they are single. You are perfect just the way you are. It comes down to the fact that God has a plan for every aspect of your life.  That means he has a grasp one your love life as well. I know just as well as anyone how hard is it to let that sink in and be content. Don't let this one day of the year define you.  Don't let it effect your attitude about yourself or your perception of couples. 

 So if you're one of those people who loathes Cupid for not shooting you in the heart with an arrow this year just think about everything you have in life that you love and that makes you smile.  Get out of bed, put some clothes on, and go spend the rest of this beautiful day doing things that make you happy. Celebrate the awesome you that you so naturally are.

Until next time,
KND

Reasons to watch The Bachelor

If you've never seen at least one episode of The Bachelor then do yourself a favor and tune into ABC at 7 on Monday nights.  The show is like a bad wreck you cant keep your eyes off of.  This show is the reason men think women are crazy.  Most of these girls are man eating, manipulative, dramatic, and pretty damn desperate. I say girls instead of women because there is not one single person on the show who conducts herself like a woman. It's really sad. Yes, Sean Lowe is very attractive.  I feel like  its not just hearts he melts, it's brains too. Can these people really be that insane? Tierra- that goes out to you, girl.

But really, if you ever just want to feel good about yourself watching The Bachelor is a great way to do so. First off, the fact that these people think he's going to find love by dating 20 different girls at one time is just dumb. If it wasn't being filmed by a national television show Sean would be considered a player and girls would despise him. Not only that, but girls definitely would not drool over him in ways which they do. They say things that quite frankly just freak me out. They have only known him for about a month and consistently talk about marrying him. Who does that? Why are these girls so desperate? They are all very beautiful girls physically.  It's just the mental part they lack in. Last time I checked though, mental stability is kind of important. (Sorry about your luck, Sean). These girls talk about "winning" The Bachelor. So...it's a game? Fools. I would also like to add the fact that all these dates are very extravagant. News flash, that is going to end as soon as the show does even if Sean gives them the final rose. It just leaves an inevitable failed future. For that, all I can say is- sucks to suck.

So if you have had a bad day just remember these things:
1. You're not a contestant on The Bachelor
2. You're not sharing a guy with 20 girls
3. You're not living with 20 strange girls
4. You're not telling a guy you barely know that you love him
5. Your future doesn't depend on a rose
6. The world isn't watching your every move
7. You probably don't have judgmental people like me blogging about you
8. You didn't have to drink freshly squeezed goats milk to go on a date
9. You're not that desperate to find love
10. You're not crazy

Preach it Bruno

Have you ever heard a song on the radio that twists your brain in such a pretzel that you have to immediately download it on iTunes and obsessively listen to it on repeat? Well, Bruno Mars has done that very thing to me with his latest hit, "When I was Your Man". Let me just start by saying how talented the guy is in general. He has such great songs that always get stuck in your head. Not to mention he's like the perfect combination of Lenny Kravitz and Michael Jackson. Am I right or am I right?

So this new song of his..
It's all about a guy who sees a girl he used to be with out with another man. The song is him reflecting on all the things he should have done to keep her around. "I should have bought you flowers and held your hand, gave you all my hours when I had the chance, take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance"
So this made me think about all the things I should have done in life. Not just relationship wise (still single... Sup fellas?), but life in general. Opportunities have an expiration. There's so many things I wish I had I done.  This ranges from big things like studying abroad while I was in college to the smallest things like going to parties with all my friends. What is it that holds us back? Fear? Anxiety? Risk of failure? Laziness? I suppose its different for everyone. But when will you have your Bruno Mars epiphany? How long is it going to take until you swallow your pride and realize all the things you've missed out on? The opportunities that we don't take are being swept away by others. Now those people are living the life we wish we were. The last part of Bruno's chorus says "now my baby's dancing but she's dancing with another man". I've made a promise to myself that I won't let other people take my dreams from me. I'm going to embrace the opportunities that are put in front of me from now on. I charge you to do the same. Don't sit around and wait for life to happen anymore.

If you haven't heard this song then you need to get on iTunes or YouTube pronto and give it a listen. I may not have the most perfect singing voice (or be able to carry a tune in general) but this song is one of those you can't help but get your car karaoke going on.

Until next time,
