Rapid Fire Love- Nov. 12

Every now and then, I have thoughts that I really want to share but that don’t necessarily deserve a post of their own. So I decided to start placing them together in a new section called “Rapid Fire Love.” Here are some of my thoughts for November 12.

_______________________________

**Am I the only one tired of seeing people write articles like “Chivalry is Dead,” or “Where Are All The Good Men?” And I’m not just saying that to take shots at the people who write these pieces; I just wish there was more positivity put out there to counterbalance all of the gloom and doom.

**The Shaq and Shaunie divorce was inevitable. That always felt like a case of two people getting married for all the wrong reasons, and who had no idea how to function in a healthy relationship.

**Speaking of Shaq, I can’t believe that he was sleeping with Gilbert Arenas’ fiancé. I’m not sure how cool he was with Gilbert, but that was bad business on so many levels. I can’t even begin to count the number of man laws broken. Shaq is officially on timeout. (Side Note: The visual of big seven-foot Shaq sitting in the corner in one of those little kid chairs is pretty funny to me.)

**We need to have more discussions between the sexes instead of just talking about each other in all-female or all-male web forums. For starters, the discussion is never fair and balanced since you don’t get to hear from both sides. Not to mention the fact that the discussion leaders are usually people who are jaded and using the forum as nothing more than a venting mechanism.

**Finding a woman that can cook isn’t all that hot if she doesn’t know how to prepare meals that are healthy. I’m starting to think that I’d rather live a long, healthy life alone than to have a heart attack at 40 due to my wife frying chicken and smothering pork chops four times a week.

**It’s always funny to me how people jump both in and out of relationships around holiday season. Either they don’t want to be alone so they subconsciously make themselves more available. Or they purposely sabotage the relationship to avoid having to spend money on gifts. Both happen ALL the time.
