Crazy Eights...The Condensed Version (Because Doing It Right Is Too Much Work)

So, Illahee tagged me for Crazy Eights. Now, naturally, I didn't truly follow the instructions. Please check out Illahee's post for the ahem, proper, way to do this here thingie!


In the meantime, here's 8 things I’m passionate about:



1. Chillaxin'.

Yes, PLEASE don't come to my place unannounced. I can't be held responsible for the years of therapy it might take to cleanse some of you more tender folk of the experience.








Enter at your own risk!!!!!



2. Eating.




And you haven't any idea how much courage it takes to post this picture. I didn't even shower on this day. Last time I'll ever do that. Apparently shower water has a beneficial effect on the thighs, hence mine look enormous in this picture.



And just in case, you underestimate my dedication to eating, notice the barely hidden gleam of pure E-VILLE as I pose for this photo. I'm trying to look pleasant, but I'm waiting for the waitress to bring round two. Fried shrimp, if I do recall correctly....




3. Teaching.


I get sick of teaching. All the time. Every day I fantasize of being able to finally embark on a lifestyle with no classrooms, no textbooks, no curriculums. But it's the only thing I can say I was born to do.



4. Reading. Mainly non-fiction.

5. Rating people's asses.
First, I see your face, then I see your ass. Man, woman, child. Doesn't matter. I'm hardwired to check out your caboose and either give it the stamp of approval or my condolences. Either way, I'm checking out your butt.
My husband is the only person I've ever met is more of an ass fiend than me. No doubt our kids will be some sort of closeted ( please be closeted!) anal-driven, booty-crazed freaks.

6. Keeping in mind that I am a spirit having a human experience--as opposed to the other way around.

7. Pretending to be rich while on vacation.
I'm not interested in seeing how the locals live. I'm from Brooklyn. Doesn't get more local than that. This means only four and five star hotels. The most expensive restaurants. Shopping 'till I drop.
...And then doing overtime for the next two months to pay the credit card bill. (shut up!)



This is me in a market in Hong Kong. Shopping bag in one hand. All I needed was a shisk kebob in the other to have experienced pure bliss on the earth plane.

8. Music (all genres), Art and Meditation.

Oh this made me laugh so hard, especially rating asses! That is seriously funny!

My four year-old actually likes the pic of you with the face masque on. He says you look cool.

Felicia said...

You are making it rain on these "you know whats!! Hahaha! You look great!
Why are you so funny and poignant? I'm thinking of hopping over to Japan in February for the Lunar New Year. Will you be around? I need to look at cool shops, see what kinds of products, etc. they stock as I'm starting a new business.

Your girl,
Felicia in Seoul!

P.S.
I rate asses too and thighs! Old, young, doesn't matter. It's all about the that region!

"And then doing overtime for the next two months to pay the credit card bill"

Hehe, me too and I travel cheap.

Your gorgeous and funny. Rating asses... Okay, I gotta confess (no this isn't a drunken confession, I'm sober) I'm an ass rater too! I guess it's because people are always talking about how big my booty is, so I look at others in hopes that there rear end is larger than mine.

Mes Deux Cents said...

DMB,

Oh my, I have had dreams about shopping in Hong Kong!


Sigh....

DMB said...

Thanks, Illahee!

Beauty in Baltimore:
I think whether you travel cheap or not so cheap, a large credit card bill is like death and taxes. I mean, who is going to walk around with cash when they travel, anyway?

The Fashionista:
Hmmm...I've got a big butt, too. Maybe that's why I've always admired a nice thick juicy bottom! Reminds me of myself! Hah!

Mes Deux Cents:
The shopping in Hong Kong is great, too. You will love it, I'm sure!

You are hilarious! I so feel you on all except #7 (as you can tell from my blog). How amazing to find another a$$ fiend. LOL! I thought I was weird...probably still am, but now I have company. Haha.

Blkgrl said...

Okay, I just read the rest of your comments and found we aren't the only booty raters. Whew! More freaky fiends.

I met a wonderful Australian couple who now live in HKG and they're always asking me to visit. I'd love to and I may look you up, too, for some shopping. I'm sure you'd be easy to spot. LOL!

DMB said...

Blkgrl:

Booty-raters UNITE!!

No, seriously! I am in Japan, but e-mail me when you make it to Hong Kong. If my credit card bill is clear at the time (translation: if I've been a good girl), I might be able to make the flight! And you will LOVE Hong Kong! How nice that you have friends there!

Blkgrl said...

Ooops, I guess I should've read a little more closely that you're in Japan vs China. Guess I focused on that shopping photo of you and began salivating. LOL!

Fellow BR.

nice spot... your pics are hilarious... especially the little comments you draw on them

Too funny. . .I may have to borrow this. I love your sentiments about being the imperfect person you are and not feeling "bad" about it. If only. . .
