I checked my cellphone bill this morning and boy was I played.  I can't even pick my lip up off the ground, right now.  $200, that's how much my current bill is.  WTF?! I know, I'm asking myself the same question.  I was charged $20 for a 15 minute long distance conversation; FYI, in the past I was able to call this number and NO problem.  At most I would be charged $5-10.  I was charged about $10 in government fees, surcharges, etc.  Oh, and get this shit.  Now, they charge a fee for having a spending limit unless you set up automatic payments.  This is some bulls@#T!

My bill is not supposed to be over $80 a month.  Ugh, I really despise cellphone companies.  Apart of me feels like I should get rid of this damn phone.  When and why did I have to succumb to societies mess of always being able to communicate.  Remember when people didn't have cellphones? NO? Well, I do! People used house- phones and were completely satisfied. 

I could call the cellphone company and give them a piece of my mind, but what would be the point? It would be a tit for tat game of Russian Roulette.  Now, I'm looking on their website and I see a message regarding these fees.  OH, the damn fees were enforced last month.  Why didn't they send out letters informing customers of this? Why do I have to search the website to be informed about my bill. 

Isn't there a law stating that customers should be properly informed? No, well we should be! On top of everything else, my phone (Blackberry) is acting a mess.  It freezes, cuts out, doesn't charge half the time).  Why did I pay all this money for a piece of crap? I've only had this phone for a year!

Sure, I could break my contract (pay hella money), and go with another company, but the truth of the matter is, I'll probably still end up dissatisfied.   I ask you, what is the best cellphone company out there? And, why?

I am learning that people really shouldn't be personalized by labels.  You recall me telling you about 'E'.  He was the guy who I placed a million labels on in the beginning.  I realize how unfair it is and one day I will stop, but until then there is one label that he deserves, and then I'll stop.  His new label: Ignorant. 

Finally, he calls me and gives me a reason other than "tired," "stressed" va-va bull... for his sudden "departure" AND "let's be friends," bullshit.  His excuse, is based on religious factors.  While I love God, and don't deny that, I am not extreme and find most extremist hypocritical.  I pray, I love, I respect all religions, and people as they are. 

With that said:

I don't live my life based on my religious upbringing.  I am an individual and march to my own beat.  But that's my opinion.  Back to E.  He says to me that we can't date, because he's religious blah-blah-blah.  Shouldn't these things be stated in the beginning? So, let me get this straight, you can come over my house, kiss me, take me out on dates, eat my cooking, but you can't be in a relationship with me? OH, Ok, again why, because we don't believe in the exact same principles?

Side Note:
I don't fault him for wanting to be with someone who shares his beliefs, but I do hold him responsible for being misleading and not stating up front his religious convictions. 

Our conversation went something like this...

E- Well didn't you use to live with your ex boyfriend.

Me- Yeah, but God isn't going to punish me for cohabiting.

Ugh, since when does my religion have anything to do with my lifestyle? I know many people who don't follow the guidelines of their religion, but it doesn't make them a bad person.  It simply makes them a human being.  The more I talked to him, I almost felt sorry for him.  I felt sorry that he couldn't just live his life, date who he wanted to date, and stop putting so many "labels" on the people.  I know, this coming from a girl who placed a million labels on him in the beginning.  Guilty as charged!

Me- Why didn't you address this concern in the beginning?

E- Well we were just friends.

So sick and tired of people loosely using the term 'friends' because clearly there was an attraction and something more than friendship.

Me- When you said that you really, really, liked me while you were in my house, what was that about?

Side Note:
Did you think about religion then? I'm sure ya didn't.  There is more to this story and more that I could say, but I won't.  While I am pissed at the conversation between E and me, I refuse to degrade, be nasty, or classless. 

E-I liked you as a friend, and when I saw that it was progressing into something else that's when I knew I had to cut it off. 

I will never understand why I received a message through a social website and not a person to person conversation. But, maybe some questions are better left unanswered. 
Again, he states that he would like to remain friends.  Am I over reacting?

I have to take a minute to spotlight my big cousin T-Mazz.  He's a rapper in The Bay Area (San Francisco) for those who don't know.  So proud of all my hardworking family members.  He's doing his thang. 

His song "Phone Sex" can be requested through your local radio station, so call up now and request it.  I uploaded the song below.

Does anyone still use this dating site?

I ask, because I never hear anyone talk about it anymore.  A few years ago, I was obsessed with looking up dudes on this site.  I was shocked when someone I crushed on in high school actually popped up.  His rap sheet was a mess.  Of course there's no way to tell if it's legit, but the mere fact that someone took time out to write a list of things about him is hilarious. 

I couldn't resist.  Tonight, I typed in a few guys names just for old times sake, but luckily there were no results.  Maybe people aren't familiar with this site or have forgotten about it.  Just imagine if everyone stuck together and reported every bad guy or date... us women wouldn't be surprised when a date acts out of pocket. 

I encourage women to start reporting bad guys on this site and spread the word.  It may actually help someone out.
