Lynn and I went to see Nelly Furtado last night at Bluesfest. I could tell you I wasn't impressed with the show and I should have brought my pillow and had a little nap. (the crowd was that exciting) Or that I was hoping for something a little more soulful, maybe more of her old hip hop style. And although I did like her version of Crazy originally by Gnarls Barkley, (i identify with that song) I was expecting something a little more. I am not going to be hater though. Nelly was beautiful, she does have an amazing voice, she's putting herself out there and doing her thing, and I admire strong, independent, succesful women. I think I have written this before, but the above picture is another example of a strong, independent, succesful woman. She is beautiful, she also make things beautiful (she is an interior designer) So why is that we have such bad luck with men. It's not just us, I know a dozen more that suffer from the good girl dating the bad guy syndrome. It's not fair to blame this on men, we are the ones that choose them. So I have to wonder why? Are we bored with the "nice" guy? Do we need a challenge? Or is it just possible that are expectations are too high? Someone recently told me that women my age that are single either have issues or children. That person is an idiot. I would love to have a significant other, but I don't need one to validate or define myself. I have always worked very hard in life, I have goals and ambitions, I expect the same from any partner and I am not going to settle for anything less. My only other criteria is that I will not allow myself to date anyone who wears leather pants or cowboy boots, or has piercings on their unmentionables. So what is wrong with women these days? PS - I did the soft focus technique on this photo and I shouldn't have. But I am late for work and have no time to fix at the moment as I still have to cut up a veggie tray for the office pot luck. I will fix this one when I get home. PSS - I doubt anyone will be brave enough to comment on this, but I am leaving it up anyway.
