Girls and What I Find Hot and Not About Them

You know one question i'm asked on a consistent basis is where's your girlfriend, well I don't have one and its by choice. Sure there are plenty of women out there in the world to choose from but why go out and seek someone when the right might just fall in your lap. For all I know I may have found them or I may have passed them I don't know, but that's not what this is about this is about what I find attractive in a girl well more importantly INSTANT hot. Now those who know me know that i'm not a complicated guy I live a very simple life some say too simple but hey its my life and not yours. Well anyway everyday I leave the house everyday, and everyday I leave I see what can be described in between classy to hoochie there are all kinds of women out there, and not all of them are attractive and not all of them are unattractive. Well let's start off with what I don't like.

Dont's

*Loud- Any girl I can hear 20 yards away just talking to one other person or sitting in a room 5 tables down over the rest of the room is just flat out rude. Especially those who are on the phone and everyone can hear there conversation.
*Extreme Hair- There's a very large difference between a hairdo and hairdon't and some girls take it to the extreme. Now If you're going to throw streaks in your hair a hint of color is perfectly fine or fain't highlight like you nnotice them but they blend in are ok, even dyeing your hair is ok is good as long as it isn't extreme like walking around with Magic blue in your head for a month and your personality doesn't fit. Like I can see it with punk girls or goth girls because it suits there style, but if you going extreme and your personality ain't matching it then please don't do it. Especially if you paying money for one night and stuck with it for 3 weeks it just ain't right.
*Control freaks- this is one that us guys just can't seem to escape. All girls no matter who they are and no matter their personality will always want things their way. Now i'm a firm believer in keeping your girl happy because if she isn't she'll let you know but for a girl to force her will upon me just isn't gonna fly. I don't care how hot she is, or what she can do for me there's not enough things in the world to force myself to give in to belittling myself as a man in order to keep her happy. There's only so much anyone can take before they break and for a girl to try and come and change who I am how I live and what I do with my life by force isn't going to happen. Sure you can suggest somethings but don't force them otherwise you can force yourself out the door.
*Clingy- Ok I know you like me and I know you want to be around me but don't constantly cling to me like i'm dying of cancer and have on 2 hours to live. There's a difference in showing affection and being a parasite know and learn the difference.
*Smokers- Self explanatory if you smoke then to each they own
*Drunks- OK I get it people drink and I have no problem with that there's no problem with having a few drinks every now and then, but if you drink to get drunk every time you open up some alcohol then there's no need of me getting to know you. I'm not your designated driver, I'm not around to control you if you get out of control or over emotional I say these things because I have seen them and experienced them. its not fun and its not attractive by any means.
*Attention Whores- Ok there's nothing wrong with looking good, there's nothing wrong with makeup enhanced beauty is perfectly fine but its when these things get taken to levels of 'Hey everyone look at me'. This comes in the form of revealing clothes, big mouths, overdoing makeup and many other factors. there's a difference between looking good and being a walking billboard, don't advertise yourself for attention and those that go after that attention only want one thing in return so those I avoid as well.

Well those pretty much sum up what detracts from a girl lets talk about what makes them stand out in my eyes (Remember this is just my opinion on what makes a girl hot not necessarily what i'm looking for but what makes them stand out from the rest)

*Natural Beauty- A girl who keeps herself looking good without enhancing her look through artificial means shows that she is confident in herself and knows she doesn't have to put up a front in order to look good. Natural beauty is everything to me. It represents that she does feel good about herself and doesn't care about what you think accept her for who she is. There's nothing hotter than a naturally sexy girl.
*In Shape- This is huge now when I say in shape I don't mean she's an athlete but that she can keep up in physical activity. When I say this I mean she can go out for a light jog with me and not complain about the heat or getting tired 30 seconds into the run. One who isn't afraid to get a little dirty a little sweaty through different activities. Is willing to to get out and have fun under the sun.
*Can Cook- Any guy out there pretty much can agree with this. If a girl can cook in a variety of ways from traditional American to Italian to Soul Food to Asian. She doesn't need to know how to cook in all of these ways but any of these will do.
*Likes Sports- Once again a HUGE one for me, it's one thing for a girl to watch sports with you and you educate her on the game that's fine and dandy nothing wrong with that, but a girl that can come up to me and say 'Did you see how Tom Brady had the 5th most passing yards in a game last night' THAT"S HOT!!! She doesn't have to be a sports guru but if she's involved enough in it to know the players that's a definite plus.
*Can Think for Herself- There's nothing more attractive than a girl who has her OWN mind and i'm not saying to the point where she shuns your ideas that's more along the lines of don't tell me what to do I don't need you , but I'm talking about the one's who know what they want and know how they can get there, whether on their own or with the help of others. A girl with a good head on her shoulders is always hot to me. An independent thinker and knows what she wants whether its a life goal or a short term goal in order to get somewhere closer its always good to find a girl who can think and act for herself and knows what she wants for herself.
*Gamer- Any girl who can play video games and be competitive in them is INSTANT HOT!!
*Independent- Any girl who can show that she is strong willed and can survive on her own is HOT!! A lot of guys may fear this in a girl but its a trait that separates those who need to hinge onto a security blanket of some kind from those who can take a bull by the horns, it shows good strong character.
*She Can Kick My Ass- Any girl who has the ability to kick my ass is hot and like it was once stated in a great movie 'Don't let the old age fool you, I ain't no easy win'. Something about an athletically gifted girl who can fight that adds to their sex appeal.

Well those are a good majority of factors that I believe set a girl apart from being awesome or not. Remember this is my opinion and not necessarily what i'm looking for in a girl just the things that stand out if I'm being introduced to them or find out through conversation or however I may discover these things.

Just Running My Mouth

Well it's been a inute but i'm back and gonna talk a whole lot about nothing, just things that have been on my mind.

Item one on the agenda is preparation and the lack of it. I try to be as prepared as possible but sometimes you just get so excited that you wanna rush into things. Like right now I have my film project and instead of proper preproductin i'm trying to rush and get it done. Things take time and I want them to flow together so yeah right now i'm taking my time to actually get this thing to look right and get myself in the right state of mind to bring the best short film that I could possibly present to the masses. It'll be my first but definitely not my last. But the fact still remains I need to give 100% so you guys have something o truly enjoy.

Second item people I like making people happy I really do and I appreciate everyone who is a part of my life, but sometimes I just want to be left the fuck alone. It's not against anyone and don't take it as i'm mad at you or that something is wrong with me, just know that some days i don't wanna be bothered by anyone. I like being alone sometimes away from civilization away from life away from problems and just soak in the things around me and enjoy my time to myself. Don't look at me as I am an outcast (even though I am) but just like everyone else you have a point where you don't wanna be bothered. I have quite a few days like that because there are a lot annoyances in the world that I deal with, but i'd rather not have to deal with them 24/7. If i'm quiet or if I look like I don't wanna be bothered take a hint.

Lastly sports and video games. As it stands right now there won't be an NBA season, NFL and College Football will be in full swing and the NHL will be getting started just after the the World Series wraps up. The thing that I enjoy about this is it'll give me a chance to actually pay full attention to sports I don't normally follow as thoroughly as i'd normally do. Sure i'm a fan of sports but the only sport I ever followed diligently was the NBA. I'll enjoy this opportunity to catch up on everything that's going on in the world of sports. But in addition to sports the fall always brings a whole new selection of new video games for us to enjoy. And me being a huge HUGE gamer I absolutely am salivating at the fact that we have such a wide selection of new games coming out starting next week with Gears of War 3, which I will have next Friday (payday). In addition to that we have Batman:Arkham City, NBA 2K12, Fifa 12, but the games that will trump them all will be Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. In my opinion i'm more excited for Battlefield than MW3 because it seems more like a full fledged war rather than an action shooter like MW3 not that i'm knocking MW3 i'm getting them both but i honestly believe i'll have more fun with Battlefield, either way without the NBA this year i'll be thoroughly entertained.

Flipping and Parkour

So the other day I'm outside training and as usual I get approached by some youngsters maybe around 12-14 asking me what I'm doing. So I tell them I'm training in the art of parkour. So they respond "no you're not, people who do parkour can flip." I said "that's not always the case" and they respond "well if you can't flip then you don't know how to do parkour." You know the thing that I hate is that no matter who I've talked to who wasn't informed on what parkour actually is always reverts back to "Can you flip?" Look I train in the art of parkour a discipline that requires plenty of time and dedication in order to become efficient in movement. Now I'm not dissing any guys who trick or flip or any other moves that look awesome and appealing to the eye, I commend their talents actually. Me on the other hand I'm focused on the flow of movement, not the flashy aspect of parkour. Which people otherwise refer to free running is some thing that I'm not necessarily into. I don't knock other people for their choice in art style because its all a matter of freedom of movement, but don't knock me for not being into flipping. If you want to flip go right ahead, I train in parkour as a way to keep myself in shape as well its just plain fun. This is more or less an informative post about people who only look at parkour as flash and frills. Like any other physical activity parkour takes a lot of time and dedication just like basketball, skateboarding, swimming, or any other activity. If a guy can't dunk in basketball does that mean he can't be a future All-Star, if a cyclist isn't as fast as others does that mean he still can't endure the Tour de France and win it. I'm not saying this in reference to competitions but in life as well. Just because a warehouse worker isn't as strong as others does that mean he or she can't still unload a pallet, just because a cop isn't in tremendous shape does that mean he still can't chase down a guy on foot. Everything takes training and patience to endure anything in life. Those who choose to flip are doing them because they want to, those who don't do it because they don't. I happen to fall in the latter category. Sure I like to see guys who are athletic and trained enough to flip because it's appealing to the eye, but I don't discourage them by saying all you do is flip let me see your precisions. Its not about that its about encouraging others no matter what their skill level is. I wish the stereotype as it relates to parkour wasn't relegated to just flips in the public's eye. The media is part to blame for this but its also in the media that they look for grounds to entertain the masses. No one wants to get cancelled on tv so they have to portray things a certain way. It shouldn't be discouraged what a guy's skill level is in terms of their training, everything and everyone has their limitations to what they can and can't do and what they are willing or not willing to learn. We need to spread the word about the freedom of what parkour represents as well as what free running represents. It doesn't matter what you are whether you're a traceur, trickster, free runner, stuntman, whatever it may be, I encourage you to continue training hard in your craft and everyone TRAIN HARD!!!!

Respect the Ladies

One thing that will always be a fact fro now till the end of civilization is that the world of sports is a Male dominated area. The reason for that is simple its more guys who are into sports than anything else from football,basketball, and hockey to swimming, skateboarding, and mma, but the sad thing about this fact is that there are women who are out there doing these exact same things and not getting recognized for it. When you turn to ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS or anything of the sort you'll most likely see nothing but highlights of male athletes. Why is that? Its because women are overlooked as sub par competitors as it relates to a man's game. When I asked a group of guys what would get them to watch women's sports, they responded "hotter females". WHY?!?!?! Then I asked if they could name any female athletes top 3 90 percent of them responded Serena Williams. So I asked if they could name any other women they said not really. Majority of men like beautiful women and I can't disagree because I do as well, but is that the only reason I watch female athletes, NO!!! Women deserve more respect in the world of sports. They train just as hard, work just as hard, and practice just as hard as any other male athlete out there to hone there craft to become better athletes in whatever sport they choose. We just had the Women's World Cup and the only thing most guys remember is Hope Solo and Alex Morgan and why is that? Its because that's who the media portrayed as the faces of women's soccer here in the States. As true as that may be no one talked about Abby Wambach becoming the All Time leader in goals scored or how she came on strong late especially in the game against Brazil which essentially propelled the US through the rest of the tournament. The general male demographic only remembers pretty faces in women sports whether they're success stories like Serena Williams or failures in transcending like Gina Carano. That's a great example actually. Gina Carano was hyped as the face of women's MMA and everyone bought into it including me why? Because of what everyone else was saying. I never heard of Cyborg Santos until it was announced that she would face her for the Title in Strikeforce. Low and behold Gina got her ass kicked and hasn't fought since. But nobody is talking about Cyborg why, because she isn't as physically appealing as Gina. And that shouldn't be the case. Anyone that knows MMA knows that Brazilians train in some of the most brutal ways and women are no exception. People need to wake up and realize there's more to women than just eye candy. The WNBA has been at the end of jokes for many years but a league doesn't survive for 15 years for an inferior product. The women go out play hard and give there all. I remember back in the day on the PS1 when EA made March Madness 2000 or 2001 can't remember the exact one but they included I believe the top 25 women's teams in the game. And I've looked back on that and asked what happened? Why not continue with giving those girls the exposure they deserve? People need to realize that in sports its everything is not going to be driven by the men. The most popular woman on ESPN is Erin Andrews and its because she's hot, sadly she's associated more with sports than most women athletes. It should take more than international events and a pretty face to acknowledge the women in sports. Lorena Ochoa, Cyborg Santos, Natalie Coughlin, Justine Henin, Marta, Cat Osterman, Tamika Catchings, just to name a few. These aren't household names compared to a Candace Parker or a Natalie Gulbis. Now don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the beautiful talented athletes but there are more than the pretty girls that everyone knows that should be recognized for their outstanding efforts every time they take the field, court, or track. Wake up and realize that in a ale dominated world there plenty of females out there getting it done and they are not all the pretty face we are accustomed to seeing and that the media portrays. Appreciate all the women for their efforts that they give forth. Support the ladies and remember a lot of the could probably whoop ur ass in that sport.

Where's the sense of Urgency in the NBA?

Well another meeting has passed in the NBA Labor negotiations , or lack thereof, and all signs continue to point to NO NBA SEASON!!!! I mean come on you sit in a room for 6 hours and you discuss what, how we need to get a deal done but we won't do it for the sake of sacrifice. You know what this is why the NBA needs a new system right here. Too many Prima Donna in the league right now. It's really sad too. Most sports fans already believe that NBA players are the biggest divas in all the sports world and these off-season "negotiations" are further proving that. Look I'm all for players getting paid to play but the history of these bad contracts is clearly visible as team cripplers for players who don't deserve it. I'm all for non-guaranteed contracts, even though it has recently been reported that owners have backed off on this issue, but if you don't wanna have non-guaranteed contracts then take the pay cut. Like seriously players are notorious for doing either one of two things after getting paid big bucks, they either underachieve or get hit with injuries and take up space on the roster. Rashard Lewis, Jerome James, Baron Davis, Grant Hill, Eddy Curry are just a few that come to mind and there's plenty more that I could go after. And here's the worst part, you always hear analysts saying "when healthy" and "if they can get back to where they were before". That's one reason I wouldn't mind the non-guaranteed contracts. It can always cripple a team if you're overpaying one player on team that could use that money on another piece that could actually produce. Both sides are arguing valid points but it all leads to money. In a time where the NBA has reached heights it hasn't been in, in many many years, it's a shame that the year's leading up to such a great movement in the NBA will be rubbed out by greed.All signs point to lost games and even worse a lost season. It doesn't surprise me in the least bit either with emerging stars like Blake Griffin and Kevin Love becoming household names and teams on the rise like the Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers,, they will have to take a backseat to further growing as a team as players get older and fans grow tired as football season is in full swing this will be a dark age in the NBA. The only beneficiary may be the NHL. Without basketball hockey could see a rise in viewership if only they were on national TV more...
