DIY (Do It Yourself) Valentine’s Gifts For Him

I know that Valentine’s day is one of those days that MOST men feel is a HALLMARK holiday! I totally AGREE but however we LADIES still like to be showered with extra affection on this day. Since times are hard for most, I thought it would be a great idea to post some DIY gifts you can make at home…that are inexpensive & most of all they are made by YOU…how much sweeter can you get. NOW LADIES I get that VALENTINE’S DAY is supposed to be for us (mainly) but that doesn’t MEAN you shouldn’t do something for HIM…if you don’t do gifts then make sure you are WEARING something sexy before bed…show your man a GREAT TIME & give him a THANK YOU he will never forget!

Trophy Coat Rack

(such a clever idea…especially for the sport fanatics & a great way to display trophies that collect dust.) You can also paint the wood, spray paint the trophies to get a little more funky with it…maybe MOD PODGE some sport clips from the newspaper. There are so many different ways to freak this one!

Valentine’s Day, SHOULD Be EVERYDAY

From a woman’s perspective I totally get the MUSHY sentiments behind this day, but in all honesty you should feel LOVED everyday. If you are a GREAT WOMAN to your man, then he should be a GREAT MAN and appreciate you everyday. Not just on a HALLMARK CARD DAY like today, of course we all LOVE to be spoiled, wine and dined, taken out to the movies, flowers bought for us but these actions should never stem from a “it’s VALENTINE’S DAY” so I have to do it.

LOVE is not a holiday type feeling, it is a feeling that grows everyday. Especially, when you know in your heart that the person (your significant other) is the one. You (both men/women) should express your LOVE on a daily basis, it doesn’t necessarily have to entail a gift. It just means that you are taking the time, making the effort to let that person know…just how much you care for them.

Do you LOVE the person more today because it’s VALENTINE’S not at all, this day was MOST LIKELY made up by a WOMAN that was lacking LOVE…saying this DAY is the DAY a MAN should go all out for his WOMAN, I think it’s just crazy SH*T period!!!!

In my honest opinion I think it should be vice-versa, if a WOMAN has a GREAT MAN she should be wooing HIM on this day. Think about it besides Father’s Day (what if your MAN has no kids) what other DAY is dedicated to APPRECIATING A GREAT MAN? NONE, so why is that we WOMAN think that today is all about US? I personally think that WOMEN should make more of an effort on this day, especially if she has a GREAT MAN. Yes it takes a GREAT MAN to KEEP a GREAT WOMAN but I think we are far more appreciated than the MALE SPECIES.

For me materialistic things have NEVER mattered to me and/or flattered me, but knowing that my MAN has my back…when all odds are against me is what will make me NOT STRAY. Knowing my MAN is stronger than me and in my moments of weakness & can give me strength, is what will make me STAY.

Gifts can be bought at any time or any other holiday, but to give someone your HEART and truly LOVE them is the most precious gift of all.

However, shout out to all you LOVERS…may your day be filled with FUN & LOTS OF HUMPING!!! LOL

Only Once In a Life Time

Every time I see your text  I smile,

Making my heart flutter a million beats per minute,

I picture myself in my birthday suite,

Kissing you while I use my tongue in an artistic style,

When I see your face,

I gasp for air as if I just ran a race,

I wish I could be held by you,

It would be like a dream from my point of view,

I truly believe that it’s only once in a LIFE TIME,

That you find your partner in CRIME,

The way you make me drip,

Is like a sunken ship,

It just isn’t fair that I am here,

What I would do so we could just disappear,

You have me OPEN, you really have no idea,

So I will make like Aaliyah,

Send you a 4 page letter,

Hoping you ain’t ever had anything better,

Got me feeling like a high school student,

Knowing I should be prudent,

I truly believe that it’s only once in a LIFE TIME,

That you find your partner in CRIME,

Some may say it’s wrong,

But I’ve never been one to prolong,

So I’m gonna take a LEAP,

Because I could give a BLEEP,

About being right because it feels so good,

Only if we could…

Thank you, Jesse James [Jesse Cheats On Kat With 19 Women]

OUCH!  a letter from Kat Von D to Jesse James, today marks the 19th girl that she added on her list, of whom Jesse cheated on her with…hopefully, she stays away…I wish you best KAT!!!

Never have I felt so strong about True Love, than I do today.  I believe in Love more than anything else, and more than ever before. 

Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year.

I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship.  All of this may sound petty or immature to some, but I assure you this is coming from a place of pure honesty and love.

There was a time when I was confident and excited at proving the world wrong, because I believed so deeply in people’s ability to change for the better.  Although this was not a primary purpose in the relationship, I did feel like it would be a positive thing for those who judged Jesse solely based on what they read in tabloids, to see that change is always possible – even in the people who seem hopeless.

I still believe that, even if that change never occurs inside of him - because I see proof of change everyday – in others, and in myself.

I’m far from perfect, but am willing to examine myself, and my patterns of dysfunction, and then put in the work to better myself.  It’s a daily practice, but it’s working.

Sure, its easy to tell someone, “I told you so” especially if you’re criticizing someone from the outside, but that attitude comes from a place called Ego, and not Love.

I know I deserve a big fat  “I told you so,” from everyone, and wish I didn’t have to say, “You all were more right than you’ll ever know” but you were.

Not to worry, I’ve gladly paid the consequences for every mistake I’ve ever made, but learned so much from each of them.

Yes, I am pretty tired of getting mistaken for the girl who everyone believes to have broken up Jesse and Sandra’s marriage, just because I have black hair and tattoos like that other gal.  That does get a quite annoying at times, and it would be nice to not be associated with her, but that’s trivial in the grand scheme of things.

I think it just made me sad today to imagine him still in that dark place – where seeking validation through the attention of women takes precedence over being a good father, a sincere friend, a better coworker, and a happy individual.

I tried my best to go through all of this without venting, or complaining, or fueling more tabloid mumbo jumbo – but this isn’t about any of that.

This is about me making peace with myself, and forgiving myself for making some bad mistakes.

I don’t want to sink into the feelings of regret, or resentment.

Because right now, for the first time in my life I have felt regret,  (for someone like me, who’s never felt that before, this is hard to say out loud).

Time is something you can never get back, and what we do with this very present moment is the most real thing we have. So if that’s the lesson Jesse forced me to face and learn by all of this, than all I can say is Thank You.

It would be nice to move on now, and kindly thank you all in advance for your support, love, and positivity.

Life is far too grand to focus on the negative and put each other down.

Sending Love and Light to everyone, especially those who weren’t always so kind,

Kat Von D

The WHOLE WORLD In Our HANDS

If I’m your star does that make you my universe?

I want to be one of your first & last thoughts each day,

I don’t ever want to feel pushed away,

You can be my WIZ, if I can be your WAND

Let’s cup the whole WORLD in our HANDS

If you promise to always make an EFFORT, I will always be WILLING

If you LOVE me, there is NO end there’s only a BEGINNING

Baby I will be your taste maker,

Your caretaker,

If you got ME, I got YOU

There is NO stopping us TWO

I will be the floating device you use to trudge through waters; in your weakest MOMENTS

If you keep me smiling,

I will keep you laughing,

If you keep me, I will cherish you for a lifetime,

If you care for me,

I will nurture you always,

Baby be MY motivation,

So I can be your inspiration,

Be my lifeline when I’m hanging by a thread

I can give you my word,

I will appreciate you to the END.

Just Be REAL…DAMN

Ok…so before you read this, these is just how I feel at the PRESENT moment…I decided to give ONLINE DATING another go round, but I don’t think I will last past this week…it’s day 2 & let’s just say these MEN are FUNNY!!! Ok, now you can carry ON!!! & nope I will NOT tell you what site I am on HAHA!!!

I have been contemplating writing on this subject for a minute; partially because I don’t KNOW what EXACTLY I want from a MAN (of course we all have a LIST/STANDARDS) but it has BEEN so long, since I have really had a SIGNIFICANT OTHER…it just seems like the pickings are really SLIM in LA; but I know for DAMN sure it’s NOT what has been approaching ME…now don’t get me WRONG, I am NOT saying I am perfect but I think I am pretty good catch…

do I have my flaws, hell yeah but who doesn’t???

I will admit one of my biggest faults is that I EXPECT & I am coming to LEARN when you EXPECT great DISAPPOINTMENT comes right along with it, you cannot EXPECT anything from anyone but YOURSELF. WE as women cannot EXPECT a MAN to think and/or react to situations like we DO…they ARE NOT emotional like we are, they have rhyme to their reason as to where we just have “reason”…where we find that “reason” is an entirely different BLOG…

Now with all this being said if we shouldn’t EXPECT than we should at least have STANDARDS. Yes, STANDARDS…it’s a MUST because this way you can WEAVE out the FAKE from the REAL…the ones with AMBITION from the ones that are just all wasted DREAMS!!!

However, this is where it gets tricky, these days it seems like LYING has become a native language…I mean damn what happened to being REAL, not living on FRONT Street…I didn’t ask to make a right on BEAT AROUND THE BUSH Avenue and end up on FULL OF SHIT Blvd…be REAL & let the other person access (give them the OPTION) whether they WANT to deal with you or NOT…oh my bad YOU don’t know what OPTIONS means lol

For example when to be REAL:

  • if you have KIDS don’t just say you have a KID
  • if you still deal with your EX, then say so (especially if they are CRAZY)
  • if you have the tendency to be a bit over zealous/jealous speak on IT
  • if you don’t have a car, let a person know LOL
  • if you have roommates but they are your parents, BE REAL
  • if you have are unemployed don’t say your SELF EMPLOYEED
  • if you don’t have a car, don’t tell me you just got into an ACCIDENT
  • if you have 1 or more BM/BD tell a B**CH
  • if you have a psycho BM/BD please give a WARNING!!!

My Standards (these are all MUSTS, lol)

  • must have a car
  • must live in their own place and/or have a roommate that is not a PARENT
  • must have a job (would be nice if he is w/in my income bracket at least)
  • must have ambition, goal oriented
  • must take care of their kid(s), dead beats are NOT allowed
  • must be family oriented (Mama boys are OK!)
  • must know how to dress
  • must be at least 6ft tall (NOT 5ft)
  • must be able to dress versatile
  • must have FRESH (swag)
  • must have a broad vocabulary, so that he can hold an intellectual conversation
  • must have a HIGH sex drive (& know what they are doing)
  • must have a nice set of teeth (I cannot do a messed up grill)
  • must have a good HYGIENE (being stinky is not the BUSINESS)

I don’t think that’s much because that’s what I am bringing to the table bare minimum, I mean damn I am not asking for a PERFECT MAN…just someone I can RELY on!!! It seems like these days being able to RELY on anyone but yourself is SLIM to none…well who knows may be after reading this I will have a RELAIBLE man hit me UP!!! Hahaha

If you have read this FAR & you only meet 5 out of my 14 standards, let’s just say MISS ME…I am already raising a BOY to be a great MAN…don’t need a GROWN BOY that needs to be trained on HOW TO BE A MAN!!!

XOXO...& don't get your boxers in a WAD lol!!!

Don’t NEED Me WANT Me

“No one ever wants all of someone because; that’s not what they need…they just need to be wanted” – veezy M baby

Ever wonder if you will be LOVED the way you LOVE…be CARED for the way you CARE…be WANTED the way you WANT??? Well chances are it’s not likely to happen, simply because the way a MAN loves is different from that of a WOMAN…it’s not wrong or right it’s just different…

WOMEN (the ones raised RIGHT) are raised to nurture, to tend, to problem solve, to love unconditionally…MEN (the ones raised RIGHT) are raised to profess, provide and protect…they show us LOVE by providing for us (our families), they protect us from harm, they profess their love in ACTIONS not WORDS…as where WOMEN are expressive, their WORDS for the most part speak louder than their actions…

Simple truth is a WOMAN is a roller coaster of emotions, it really depends on how she woke up that morning. She can go from being happy to moody in a split of a second (YES I said IT!) as to where MEN aren’t like that. They work with less emotion, making them able to function under any circumstance (for the most part)…we WOMEN don’t work like that, there is really no damn RHYME or REASON behind “our” emotional roller coaster…outside it’s hard to be a WOMAN damn it!!!

I am not saying give up on LOVE, that would be ridiculous but what I am leaning towards, is willing to accept flaws…no one is perfect but yet we as WOMEN seek that “perfect man” that “perfect love” Boo that’s only in the movies…what you seek is not going to be found if you don’t put out the right ENERGY into the world…well that and a whole lot of patience!!!

He/She is out there, you just have to be willing and ready when it approaches you…LOVE can be a glorious and gratifying feeling, when it’s between TWO people that are RIGHT for each other…I am far from being PERFECT but I know I am capable of LOVING whomever PERFECTLY…

I just don’t want to be NEEDED I want to be WANTED, being needed is draining, being wanted is something you need to work for and work at…XOXO
