Why aren't you hooking up with your students?

It wasn't too long ago that on American TV there was a story about a teacher who had gotten pregnant by one of her teenage high school students and they were now planning on getting married. Well, this case isn't that extreme but in college there is always a certain amount of "interaction" between TAs and their students. Yeah, it isn't supposed to happen and most of the time it doesn't until they are at least out of the class, but I have one of the sweetest friends in the world and he won't even entertain the idea. Here he has been teaching the same students the entire year (he graduated 2004 and his students are class of 2007, I think) and he didn't set himself up to have some "fun" before he trots off to the other side of the country for medical school. All I have to say is I am disappointed in him. Perhaps guys don't understand that not every girl is looking for an "until death do us part" relationship. Or maybe girls don't realize that a lot of guys are looking for an "until death do us part" relationship.... hmm I am going to have to think about that some more... Anyway I am getting off subject.

Well, after scolding my friend, I informed him he could NOT have a serious relationship until he got out of medical school and he should be messing around with the little sophomores who aren't all that interested in long-term stuff anyway (right now) but could be good potential for the future. His response, all the cute ones are taken already... All I have to say is "I told you so. "

Why can't my friend have a serious relationship now... well there are many reasons! First I think there is some statistic about how those relationships formed in medical school (especially with another med student) don't work out and my friend needs to have some fun before then and during med school. Come on how much more game can he get... a med student soon to make six fiures a year, cute, sweet, innocent... He will have girls crawling all over him... He damn well better use it, or I will steal his identity and pick up those girls myself...

Besides, in med school he will not have the time or emotion to waste on a relationship, yes a girl said waste on a relationship. Secondly because my friend needs/deserves someone (once he is done with school) who will give him every bit of attention he demands (not needs but demands) and she will have to want to do that for the rest of her life otherwise she doesn't deserve him... (whoa don't I sound like a protective sister..)

So sweetheart, as one of my previous posts said, and a wise friend told me... It is spring, and you know what that means.... so get to it or I will have to get you drunk, take you to Mexico, and make sure you have a good time. :-)

Today I raced with a butterfly

I could feel myself getting lost, being pulled in every direction, wanting to just go and not look back. The steep grade of the small hill gave me a quick burst of speed as I neared the bottom on my faithful but rusty bike, and just when I thought I would turn back to the familiar, to the safe, because of the unclarity that lies in all other directions but the one from which I came, a butterfly zips past me. The small creature whose orange color was enhanced by the black markings along the wings whizzed back and forth in front of me, taunting me to try and keep up, to make up my mind about which way I am going. The fluttery wings of the now small annoyance flapped occasionally to gain speed and then rested as the butterfly would float in one direction and then dart in another. We stayed along side each other for a few more feet when I hit the bottom of the hill and the small thing decided to head up toward the mountain. I applied the brakes and stopped to look up and around me. Looking out I saw so many things. Before me is a lot of opportunity to accomplish great things, to fail miserably, and above all to survive. I know that any path I take is endless in nature until my death, but some appear more clear than others. Standing alone in Papago park I saw a bigger metaphor for my life. I was nestled between the mountain and teh valley, with my way back to where I came clear as day, but with a sense of adventure beckoning in the other directions. The many paths I am thinking about are clear for some time but I know fully there are obstacles along those paths too. Some of those obstacles are farther away and cannot yet be seen and I must first be willing to take the risk of starting those paths before they become clear. However, then there are those paths that begin with a mountain to climb and there is no way of knowing how easy or rewarding things will be right after the steep ascent. The butterfly choose the most difficult path and perhaps the most rewarding... me, though I have the desire to fly, I turned my bike back to the known and came home. Maybe someday that will change.

It's spring and you know what that means: Time to fuck like Rabbits!

Time to Fuck like Rabbits

Todays randomness is dedicated to one of my best friends from the sunny state of California. You know who you are.

Okay so here I was sitting in the library looking for a new job, feeling completely uninspired and a little hopeless because I have no direction in my life when all of a sudden I get an e-mail from one of the most wonderful people in the world. Short and sweet it was only a couple sentences long but aluded to one of our spring time mantras while in school, especially our Junior year! I quote :

"Did that football player ever call you? Did I tell you I ran into the ITSS guy from Stanford (cute African guy) in the city a few weeks ago and we've been exchanging emails.... I really need to get my boy life up and running since it's SPRING and you know what that means! :)"

Oh, I know what that means!!! What is it about the Springtime? The weather warms up, there are flowers, people come out of their rooms and spend time in the sun, bathing suits, tanning oil, nearly naked... oh yeah and sex!!! I am certain that we are not unlike the rest of the animal kingdom and with the coming of spring! Yes, Spring is the time to "fuck like rabbits". It is the oppertune time to take advantage of the situation. I mean think about it... if you are in school, there are only a couple of months left before the summer starts and whoever you do IT with won't be seen for a whole three months thus reducing any awkwardness if things go wrong or if they go right you can spend the whole summer together in love, or at least until school starts again. If you aren't in school, hey hey why not go for it, the summer is coming up, so when you go on that week long vacation and hook up with someone else, you weren't together that long. Besides people having sex are just happier, something to do with they types of hormones released in the body, sympathetic and parasympathetic repsonses in the body, as well as a whole swell of neurotransmitters being released in the brain to make you feel, well you know how! After that long winter of being cooped up in one place, the rain, the snow, the cold, the flu... seeing another human being just gets the juices flowing and your loins aching. I know mine are. It is like once the temp hits 80 degrees the clothes start coming off and with that inhibition as well. SO if you have a sweetie, go ahead and do it! Grab them! Throw them over a chair, do it in a closet, make it fun an interesting because the summer will be here and then it will be too hot to have the kinky stuff. If you don't have a sweetie, well the clubs will be heating up and those guys you know they are on the prowl, so go work on your tan in that bikini (don't worry about the five pounds you gained over the winter, you will lose them with a couple nights of exercise. *wink wink*) . Put on that skirt and shirt that hug your curves and drink lots of alcohol because that is always fun... but be careful practice safer sex and keep your wits about you because it is a game and whoever has the most fun wins!!!! I am getting started tonight... Cmitie I am ready for my booty call ! :-)
