hypocrisy: (noun) the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

i was thinking about this word while i was in traffic today from work to school. i totally forgot about a presentation i asked to present for the ad club tonight. no worries though, it's probably gonna be quick anyway. i need to talk about the T. Howard foundation and the upcoming deadline to apply for next summer. (so, it doesn't matter what major you are or what degree you're getting, the multimedia & entertainment industry is interested in you! go to www.t-howard.org! the deadline is december 31,2008!...you like my plug?)

back on topic. from a single female perspective: we put this big, bad, tough head on our shoulders of what we want in life, love, and our pursuit of happiness. well, at least for those who have an idea of what they want or goal in life. so in this blog entry, i'll really be referring to relationships. hah! such a chick thing to talk about. who cares, right? but ya know... females think about this a lot, whether or not they like to. cause our feelings are more sensitive to us than they are to men.

as i was saying, we put this big, bad head on our shoulders like no guy is worth our time and if he is he has to prove it somehow, some way. this idea of putting such effort into some type of relationship beyond just a friendship has set some sort of a double standard. so, i'll say this:

-there are some females who believe they should live up to being the damsel in distress and some MAGICAL day their prince charming will bump into them at the grocery store. he'll open the doors, ask her out properly, wait a couple of dates in order to take it elsewhere (if ya know what i mean), start going to family parties, and do routine buddy-buddy activities (e.g. movies, zoo, concerts which then turn into just killin' time together by running errands). yadda yadda. you should be catching my drift by now.

-there are some females who get wrapped up in focusing on school or work that they never fall into the cracks of getting caught up in the lovey dovey fairytale or relationships and ever afters. (and i applaud this group for their major focus; but damn release some tension). but then they end up being newbies to relationships when they're done with school or get tired of work. (you can add on to this description of females if you feel the need to...i'm letting you)

-there are the head-strong females who balance both. they make time for school, work, and a possible prospect(s) or maybe no prospects at all. but in this case, we'll say she dates. meets guys, with a friendship in mind and a few come around to take it a little further into getting to know her. she has an idea of what she wants in a guy: gentleman, great personality, fun,
