Trivial Pursuit - Part 4 (Reading the Signs)

There’s a certain blogger who believes Starbucks is out to destroy the world. I’m not going to disagree. But I think he’s ignoring the huge Earth destroying force that is Walmart!!! I just heard, from a rather reliable source, upon returning from Oklahoma, that Walmart is putting sushi bars in their stores out there. Da hell? So they aren’t happy with their small town Becky-Sue’s and Tommy Lee’s swearing by their low-low prices!!! I’m not sure if their plan is to bring the more uppity types like me and my sushi eating ilk into their web of fast falling prices OR if they are trying to introduce and start a sushi addiction for their small town patrons. Either way, I don’t like it! They must be stopped!! They already have doctors in the damned store. Now sushi! What next, schools?? I suspect they plan to combine forces with Starbucks and over-throw the federal government. As good Americans, we can’t allow that. And as Americans, can we stop being so damned lazy? Why does every brand of toilet tissue advertise these new bigger rolls? So you mean to tell me, as a country, we’ve sunk so low that changing a roll of toilet tissue on an every other day frequency over-exerts us??


Another thing. I do all I can for race relations. But when exactly did I become the white man magnet? Not that I’m opposed. But I don’t think I’m doing anything differently than I have in years. Hair is pretty much the same. Face? Same. Behavior? Same. Yet now, in a sea of Black men, the lone white guy is finding me. Humh?


But this is supposed to be the last bit on pursuit right? I’m supposed to be telling you how to read the signs. Simply put, the only sign I give is my time. Ya see, I’m very particular about the use of my time. If a man asks me out and I go and don’t cut it short, then that’s a good sign. If I miss his call and I call him back, excellent sign. But at the same time, if he asks me out and I say I’m busy, that’s exactly what it means. It means there’s something I’m scheduled to do. It doesn’t mean the thing has to be important. It’s just that I’ve already scheduled that block of my time. But if I suggest another date and time, he should take that as a good sign.


Signs I’m not interested are rather simple. I’m non-responsive. This isn’t a sign that I want the man to try harder. I think the biggest sign I can give is to say I’m not interested. You’d be surprised at how many men don’t understand this SIGN! In fact, it has been known to spur them on. Remember, arrogant men love me. Arrogant men can not believe they can’t have any woman of their choosing.


Oh and uhm, the reason why this is coming so late is because I had absolutely nothing to write about. You see how I took a huge chuck of your reading time by talking about Walmart and tissue? But if you’ve read this far, I guess I might as well go ahead and make the announcement. Jobs were/are calling my references. Yippie! I was offered a job on Wednesday–the job I really-really wanted. And this morning, I accepted the offer. I start first week of April. I don’t know what this will mean for blogging but still, I’m about to be employed!!!!
