We are faced with them everyday.

We choose.

This way or that way.

Decisions.

Life is all about the decisions you make, the choice is always yours. To take your life down any path you want, be it good or be it bad. Or perhaps it starts out good and ends bad, and vice verse. Maybe it started out bad and then it ended great.

However it does turn out, you must always understand and ACCEPT… That the decision you are making, is yours and yours alone. There may be people who try to influence you one way or the other, but you have to shut them out. Listen to your own thoughts.

Give It Time... The Lightbulb WILL Go Off!

In life you cannot blame anyone for your problems, but yourself. You make choices to do everything you do, you shape your own life. The decisions you make follow you throughout your entire life.

I never really started to understand any of what I have just said until recently. The morning after my 23rd birthday, I felt different. Not in a good way and not in a bad way… Just in a different way.

I look at my life and think back to the decision I made that got me to where I am. The things I don’t like about my life, I caused. And the same goes for all the good.

So I just thought I would share this moment of understanding with my readers. The moment of the “Ah Ha” moment might be different for all of you.

Some of you may have already made this realization, and others of you may not be there yet. This is just one of those self realizing moments, that makes you feel like your just one step closer to fully understanding yourself.

I honestly feel that as we go through life making decisions, we must always make time to work on ourselves. Become the best possible versions of ourselves before we have to leave this life.

Remember, there is a different between living, and being alive. Either you just go through this life breathing, not caring. Or you LIVE, get out there make decisions and take some risks!

The Decision… Is YOURS!

And sometime their time comes to an end much sooner than expected. You blink your eyes, and life is gone. Just like that, in some cases without warning.

Life is delicate, like that of a new born baby. There are soft spots and breaking points. Life can only take so much before it collapses, so you have to make sure you handle life with care.

You only get one, and if by some chance we do in facet get more than one. Each one has lessons to be learned, and if you slack off and half ass life… You’re not going to learn anything of value.

Life Is Delicate.

Not only do we need to value our own life, we need to value others lives as well. Life in general.

I know that we don’t live in a perfect world, but you can make YOUR would perfect. Life is delicate… Be ambitious, outgoing, hopeful.

TRY. Do whatever you can, to the best of your abilities. Take chances, try new things, fall in love.

Don’t be so judgmental, open your heart and you mind to everyone and everything. Seriously, life is delicate, and life is SHORT.

As humans. It is natural to want any and all experiences, both good and bad. The more chances you take, just say “What the HELL” and do it.

The more of those experiences you will have. And not mater what comes of that choice to take that chance…

NEVER have any regrets. Always learn the lesson and move on to the next one…

That is the way you gotta live… Cause it could all be gone tomorrow right before your eyes, before you know it. Become the best possible version of yourself, do as much as you can with whatever time you are blessed with.

Each day is a gift, treat it a an excited kid on Christmas. Ready to take that gift and rip it open, eagerly ready for whatever is inside. Life is delicate… And life is Short. Keep that in mind each and every day of your life.

They are not always good looking. They are not always 20 something, or even 30 something. They do not always have bodies that look like that of a laundry bag full of meat either. There are douchebags that can be quite crafty in hiding their identity.

Typically, these types of douchebags like to try and come off as positive and wise. They like to try and mind trick you into believing they are smarter than you, and that each and every on of their opinions is pure fact.

They talk a lot… I mean it. They never shut up. This is mainly because they like to hear the sound of their own voice. Inserting themselves into business that concerns them in no way, shape, or form. Well that is one of their favorite things.

Don't Let This Be Who You Pray To...

Douchebags want to know everything about everyone and everything. I mean, they are already going to act like they do anyway, but douchebags are greedy little shits.

If you start letting them into your life they will start commenting on things. Things you do, the things you say, the friends you have. Remember… Douchebags like to come off as wise.

They like to pick and scratch at other people lives, why? Because they can’t pull their heads out of their asses, and stop being a douchebag long enough to analyze their own life.

Cause they would see how disgusting and rude they are. However, for a douchebag… that realization of self is to painful, and would take too much effort to fix. Douchebags are lazy.

So to entertain themselves, douchebags pry into other peoples lives. Let’s see… What more can I tell you on how to spot douchebags… Well, there is going to be a complete lack of respect… for anything. A cocky, arrogant, and a “My shit don’t stink” type of personality. Call them out on anything, and they will either deny it, change subject, or ignore it.

In my opinion, the only thing worse than your typical douchebag…

Is an older douchebag trying to act like a younger douchebag, they are the worst. Because they are like in their late 40′s but look like they could be late 20 something. They think it’s okay to act late 20 something, and still be douchebags.

So just remember that douchebags can take any form, and some of them try and hide their douchebagery. Don’t get bamboozled by douchebagery, I have given you all I can on how to spot douchebags. If you look out for everything mentioned in this post, you will have no problem identifying all types of douchebags!

Until Next Time.

With that being said, today is the male version of Valentines Day. Since men are not really ooey gooey, and more often then not hide their feelings. They are not going to want the same things you got from them on Valentines Day.

What they want is in the title, pretty self explanatory. Steak & Bj… That is what they want. Every guy is a steak, potato, and vegetables kind of guy. And every guy like a nice long Bj from time to time. What could possibly make that Bj even better, enjoying a nice juicy medium cooked steak at the same time of course.

Ladies, I understand that some of you–well, most of you–out there do not like to go downtown on your man. Either you have had a bad experience, or you have listen to to many of your friends horror stories. SPEAK UP! If you are going to give him what he wants, make him do some manscaping for you. Tell him you want him, showered and shaved.

Tell him to keep his hand OFF you head, and to just let you do your thing. Every woman has it in her to give an amazing Bj! Ladies, I believe in each and every one of you. Celebrate Steak & Bj Day with your man. I can promise you he will have a smile ear to ear.

Wear some sexy lingerie, serve him his steak as if you were his waitress. But this time, you are a naughty waitress. As soon as you place that steak on the table in front of him, take your leave under the table. Put that smile on his face!

Steak & Bj Day is for you man. Show him just how much you care, and who knows. He may very well return the favor… I mean he has to give his naughty waitress some kind of tip right

Happy Steak & Bj Day!

The first thing that has popped into my head is a dream I had last night… I was in my front yard with my mother, and we were both sitting at a table while she tattooed a purple parrot on my left wrist. Now isn’t that just odd…

The things that I find most boggling about this dream, is that my mother a radiology technician and she–for the most part–really dislikes tattoos. Also, why a purple parrot? Actually, let me break that down further… Why a parrot? Why the color purple? Yes, purple is my favorite color, and I do own a parrot. I dunno, the whole thing was quite weird to me.

Talking about my dream has now given me an idea, perhaps I should start a dream log here on KristiRiley.com. Like create a separate page where I can post all the weird dreams I have. It would get quite entertaining, I dream about some off the wall things. Like my mother tattooing a purple parrot on my wrist… Mmmhmm, I am liking this idea.

So I am just going to set that thought aside in my brain and let it marinate… Wow, a really good song just came on the “Soundscape” music channel, waterfalls and flutes. What a wonderful combination I must say, it was very pleasing to my ears!

UGH! Do you ever get a itchy spot on your back that seem to move when you try to scratch it? Then it becomes this hunt for that spot… Well, I am now on the hunt. Wow, I really need to be sleeping right now. Sadly, my body and my mind seem to think otherwise… So here I am, blogging about an itchy spot on my back.

I am blogging while simultaneously I keep refreshing my Facebook page, waiting for some type of activity to happen. A wall notification, friend request, a comment on one of my status updates. Something! Ya know, it’s times like this when people start Googling random things…

Or hoping onto YouTube and embarking on a video adventure, that will eventually lead them to this girl who REALLY loves cats. Have you seen that video, that chick get’s a little emotionally crazy. Or what about that somewhat entertaining Badger Badger song… Yes, I will post both of these links at the bottom of this post.

Ya know what, the badger song reminds me of another video where this kid pretends to be a snake… I am now watching that… If you watch the badger link I provide bellow for you, you will understand why it made me think of snakes.

Okay readers of my blog. I am going to make a serious attempt at this whole sleeping thing, wish me luck and watch the videos. There are three of them, they are pretty funny.

Until Next Time!

Uncomfortable, embarrassed, somewhat shameful. Now that your grown, think to your most recent condom purchase.

That uncomfortable feeling is still there a little bit isn’t it? Yeah, it is. Hell, you probably try and hide the box of condoms behind the other items in your hands.

You probably even get that uneasy feeling when the cashier is ringing them up. You may even try to start small talk, in hopes of distracting them from noticing the just rang up your fun balloons, right?

I am sure there are those of you out there that make your condom purchase with your head held high. But let’s be honest, you did START out that way. So now let’s fast forward… You now have a girlfriend, and she just started her “Shark Week!”

But wait, oh no she is out of tampons. Her cramps are too painful for her to want to even move, let alone go out and buy tampons. As her boyfriend, that obligation now falls onto your plate… You have two choices.

You can either suck up some masculinity, be a caring boyfriend and help your lady in distress. Or you can be a little wiener about it, making her go get them herself and get full blown PMS attitude when she get home. Your choice.

Gotta Love Some Tampon-Condom Humor...

You choose option A, smart man you are. She hands you a piece of paper with the kind she wants, hands you money and send you off to buy tampons. How are you feeling?

Your not all that happy about it, but for some reason it doesn’t really bother you does it? You get to the store, grab the box and walk up to the counter head held high.

So now let me ask you this… Where was the uncomfortable feeling you got with the condom purchase? Well, now we have come to the point I want to make. In my opinion, here is what happened…

You feel more comfortable with people seeing you buy tampons, rather than making a condom purchase. Here’s why. When making a condom purchase…

People will assume, and come up with all sorts of reasons as to why you need condoms. Your a man whore, you whack off into them, and so on. Where as if you buy tampons, OBVIOUSLY you are in a relationship.

I mean, yeah you could be one of those guys that gets chronic nose bleeds… But that is not all that likely. It makes you feel more comfortable and content to buy tampons because that means you have someone…

That you must really care about. Nothing bad can be said about that. Making a condom purchase on the other hand… Well, people are cruel and assholes sometimes.

The reality is… Would you rather it be obvious that you have sex, who knows with who or how many. Or that you have one someone that you care about, someone special?

In my opinion… For a man to go out an buy tampons for his lady, it shows maturity. All I’m saying is that I know for some of you guys out there, to buy tampons is comparable to getting your nuts taken away from you. But that is simply not true! There is nothing wrong with it what so ever.

Until Next Time!

However, in Ireland they very much celebrate this tradition. Women to this day still take advantage of Reverse Proposal Day, get down on one knee, and present a ring to their beloved gentleman lover.

My personal opinion on this matter is that I find it to be refreshing! Most women just EXPECT their man to be the one who proposes… He is a man. He is supposed to. To that I say NO! If a woman wants a reverse proposal, I think that is awesome.

Reverse Proposal... And Look How Happy He Is!!!

Women are allowed to take charge in their relationships, just as much as men are. If she is ready, and she feels that he is the one for her. I see no harm in a reverse proposal! Now, being a man…

There is a good chance he may not be 100% okay with the idea. But at least he will know that you are ready. Your reverse proposal could act as a “Kick-In-The-Pants” for your man!

Who knows, he may very well be struck into shock and awe… and say yes. Wouldn’t that make for a great story to tell your future children and grand children! Well, I think it would.

“Grandma just couldn’t wait for my cold feet to warm up, so she tossed some socks on my feet and proposed to me!” Yeah, that is a great story!”

Although, I see nothing wrong with a woman wanting to perform a reverse proposal… This could be because I am Irish, and I can totally see my self doing this. But that is not the point.

Ladies, if you wanna propose do it! Whether you are Irish or not, if you truly love you man and are ready for that kind of commitment. Do it! Reverse proposal him, make him feel all special with butterflies in his tummy tum tum. Today is the day ladies… Reverse Proposal Day! Pour some wine, cook some dinner, get down on one knee… and PROPOSE!!!

Especially, if this is the first face to face reuniting since the two of you went your separate ways. A million and one feelings start to rush through you…

Your chest gets tight, your breathing speeds up, and you pretty much feel like your going to poop your heart out right on the floor. These feelings are normal, and understandable. I mean, you two once shared something unique and special…

That simple truth isn’t going to make reuniting with an ex any easier however. Oh no, it is certainly nerve racking. Intense. Heart Stopping. Scary. You have no idea how to act, so you just ask questions. Followed by more questions…

You want the SCOOP! What has been going on with this person now that you are absent from their life? Are they happier? Do they still do the same things? Have the same interests? These are only but a few things you want to know. EVERYTHING. That is what you want to know…

Careful what you ask for. As you pursue asking any and all questions that pop into you head, pretty soon the past you two shared WILL come up. The tears are going to want to slip through… You must not let them! Stay strong.

Once reuniting with your ex comes to a close, and the goodbye must be said… If a few tears slip, let them. It’s okay to hurt. It’s a sad thing to witness… The death of love. Even more painful to experience it first hand.

With goodbye often comes embrace… Hugs. This is the time for final words, makes sure they are good ones. Just as a first impression is important, so is the last. The words you choose say a lot about you, so choose wisely!

reuniting with an ex, is hard. But often times, your soul cannot let go until it happens. You need to see if you heart and eyes still see  and feel the same. It is more time than not, the last step of the healing process…

Always listen to your HEART when it comes to matters of the HEART! Never listen to your brain! Your brain cannot feel love… Your heart KNOWS love… Reuniting with your ex is a decision only your heart can make!

Love is a journey… Good or bad, enjoy the fucking ride…

Until Next Time!

Procrastinating being alone with your own thoughts, and focusing on other peoples is very counter productive the just general growth in your life.

People these days worry too damn much about what other people think, what they do, and what they say.

WHO CARES what other people say, do, and think… All three of those things are out of your control, so why waste the energy trying to control them. Those are their decisions and experiences, so they have they control. Not you, so get over it.

You have control of your own thoughts, actions, and decisions. So how about you focus on that, being alone with your own thoughts is a good thing. It’s one of the best ways to work on yourself, and move towards being the best YOU you can be!

No Matter How Messy, You Gotta Start Somewhere!

Thinking about what you say before you say it, can have all sorts of benefits. Prevents saying something you don’t mean, or you sounding ignorant about something.

Thinking before you do something, can prevent regrets, thinking before you make a decision, can affect your future differently. Hopefully for the better. Being alone with your own thoughts is a good thing!

Go for a walk in the park, alone. Take a bike ride through town, alone. Curl up on the couch listening to soft classical music, alone. Being alone with your thoughts can happen anywhere, anytime, each and every day.

Pick something you really like to do, and do it all by yourself. Like a big grown up!

Put your grown up underwear on, and deal with your own thoughts. Really think about all the things in your life. then decide where you’re at in life, and where you wanna be.

In can be the difference between a hard, stressful, and lonely life. And a happy, Relaxed, passionate one. Personally, the second one sounds better to me. I mean obviously RIGHT! So wouldn’t you agree, being alone with your thoughts is a good thing

Think before YOU say!

Think before YOU act!

Think before YOU do!

“There is a simple truth you have to understand in this world to survive it… We are ALL damaged! Some less than others, and some more. It’s how we go about fixing the things that we CAN that matters!”

This popped into my head the other day…

I was sitting on the bed, watching ‘America’s Next Top Model’ when it hit. Some of the girls that appear on this show,

I thought to myself, take beautiful pictures. But have really bad attitudes. And… BAM! The thought that we are all damaged, just appeared. Fro a brief moment it filled my mind, and I started to think.

With that thought came what I have wrote at the top of this post. We are all damaged, this is just something we have to learn and understand to survive in this world. Nobody is perfect. Each and everyone of us are damaged goods…

Once you realize this, have two choices that you can make. Either you can go about trying your hardest to fix and mend yourself for the better. Or you can choose to ignore and cause damage to yourself and others.

Truth!!!

Harsh reality isn’t it. Yup, that is pretty much how I felt when all of this started rushing through my head. I felt it important enough to share with my readers.

You have to take responsibility for your damages, FULL responsibility. You and only you can fix yourself, and you have to have a genuine WANT for the fix!

We are ALL damaged, yes! But that doesn’t mean that we ALL have to stay damaged. In fact, I cannot think of a reason why anyone would want that… I suppose some damages do build character, and have an amazing story to go along with them.

However, not every damage should just be left and ignored. You will eventually realize which ones can stay, and which ones NEED to go. It takes some people longer than others for this realization to come, but it will.

You just have to be patient, and be open minded to this realization. We are all damaged, plain and simple.

Until Next Time!
