Hate Valentine’s Day Uber-Much?

You’re not alone.

These guys really hate it.

Wanna see more? Ooh, this makes Phillygrrl’s blood boil. Just give me a sec to put on my eye-gouging stilettos.

Fight back.

Step 1: Join this Facebook group: A Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women.

Step 2: Buy pink underwear.

Step 3: Mail to Shri Ram Sena’s headquarters.

Step 4: Find all your girlfriends and head to a pub.

Step 5: Drink and be merry.

Step 6: Thank God you live in America. (Wait, that’s only for me.)

Of love and loss

Let me tell you a Valentine’s Day story.

It’s about a boy (let’s call him James). And a girl (let’s call her Melanie.) Now James and Melanie had been dating for over a year, when without warning, a month before Valentine’s Day,  Melanie suddenly decided the relationship was over. James was heartbroken, as he loved the girl. But there were years between them and when the summer ended, she returned to her college, which was far far away from their hometown and he knew he’d lost her. Continue reading

“Is it me?”

Much obliged to guest blogger TB for sharing this with me…

Is it me or has Beyonce totally lost her touch? Yeah I know she’s a good singer and all but it sounds like lately she’s just yelling into the mic real hard……

Is it me or does the creation story make absolutely no sense… and neither does any either other story in the Bible? (Don’t get me wrong, I respect everyone’s religion, but after being taught this since day one  I think I deserve some real answers.)

Is it me, or has Chris Brown finally lost it?  I have to wonder what made him flip out like that. Maybe she DID give him herpes after all. or… nah that’s all I could think that would make ME go ape sh*t. And why are people talking about how it’s wrong to hit a woman? I say it’s wrong to hit ANYONE who is weaker in general, whether it be a man or a woman (it’s never ok to be a bully). But don’t get me wrong, if Chris Brown had no real reason to beat on her then he  f*cked up and needs some serious anger management. (Which sorta looks like the case). BUT if Rihanna gave him a fat lip and a broken nose and 2 busted testicles… well then… sucks for her.(Which doesn’t look like the case so… yeah). Continue reading

R.I.P. John Pawlowski

Sad news tonight.

Another Philadelphia police officer has been gunned down in the line of duty, this time in an apparent shoot-out tonight in front of the Olney Transportation Center. The officer, identified as John Pawlowski, 25, was the first to be killed in the line of duty this year. The officer was recently married and his wife is pregnant with their first child. The shooting happened shortly after 8 in an exchange of gunfire between two officers and two men near Broad Street and Olney Avenue. What precipitated the violence was not immediately available. There were reports the police officers were responding to a call of a report of a fight on the highway.

The scary thing is I was standing right at the intersection of Broad & Olney after taking the subway down from Center City at about 7:50PM tonight. I loathe cop-killers.
