What’s the sexiest drug out there?

That’s right, Cocaine.  While arguably Foxy, Molly, Ecstasy, etc are more actual fun in bed; its coke that gets most of the attention in NYC strip clubs, which everyone knows are the sexiest places on Earth.

Today, I’d like to do something a bit revolutionary and contradict this edict.  Why?  Because I’m an hypocritical devil’s advocate, so I know what I’m talking about.  Also, because it’s funny.  So, here it is…the top 10 un-sexiest things about coke.

10. Snot will drip all over your face, meaning it will drip all over whatever part of your partner you’re kissing.  Face=disgusting.  Pussy=yeast infection.  Snot Face as your new nickname=priceless.

9. A layer of the drug will coat your tongue each time you snort it so that by the end of the night no amount of brushing or tongue scraping can take off the shellac, leaving you with breath like you’ve been sucking face with dead people.  Come to think of it, coke fused make-out sessions are rather like sucking face with zombies.  You will also get recurrent Strep infections and eventually become anti-biotic resistant and actually become a zombie.  True Story.

8. Your teeth will fall out.  Unless you’re 90, this is unacceptable.

7. My dad used to tell me that chewing gum made a girl look like a cow chewing cud.  Coked-up jaw grinding makes a girl look like a mentally deficient cow chewing super glue.

6. Nose bleeds, dried up boogers the size of a man’s testicles, and mouth breathing (from the respiratory damage that you’re doing) are all decidedly un-sexy.

5. Instant diarrhea.

4. You will get stupider.  But you will think you are smarter.  This is a bad combination for most already stupidly unfunny people.

3. Cocaine does not seem to actually make you skinnier.  You may not eat while you’re on it, but you’ll drink like a Wino and pig out on fried food the next day and skip your planned workout.  Then you’ll lie about it and whore yourself out for Lipo…and more coke.

2. Paranoia, tremors, repeating yourself incessantly, crying, chatter-boxery, being overly bitchy…with the added bonus of knowing your money is going to support the G Men, everyone from Guerrillas to Gangsters in their quest to make money at the expense of the destruction of a people’s culture and the spilling of their blood…are almost as bad as how long this run-on sentence is.

P.S. I made up the word Chatter-Boxery.  Use it.  Its awesome.

1. And finally, the worse thing about cocaine is that you are rotting from the inside and will look like this by the age of 40.

I mean, I’m sure she’s a really, really nice old lady.  Because that matters.

Fuck Being Green!

May 10, 2012

In all the wisdom, in all the world…Kermit the Frog might have hit it closest to the mark. It just isn’t easy being green.

No, this isn’t a post about recycling.  I’m talking about envy, jealousy, the big green monster…or as I prefer to call it, the destroyer of sanity and relationships.  We’ve all experienced the gut twisting fear, anger or sadness that this lovely emotion can bring about.  We’ve also probably felt its suffocating, un-trusting icy fingers grip us when our friends or lovers succumb to its delusional pull.  Lucky for you, I’ve done some work on this one and I’m here to share what I’ve learned.

I feel it necessary to note that I was and sometimes still am the worst jealous person in the world.  My form of jealousy is that particularly evil fear of abandonment that can turn me into a clinging, crying, angry mess just because you have food poisoning on our date night.  If I let it, I can see lies in every story, loving bonds fraying and crumbling all around me and hopeless, lonely futures with even my cat avoiding me in all of my nightmares.  I tell you this so that you’ll know that this evil monster can be conquered.  Because how could I overcome all of that to deal with loving and trusting my partners in open relationships otherwise? And how could they read this blog and all it reveals to still accept and love me so completely if it weren’t possible?

So here are the basics…I don’t want to get too deep and boring for you, so this is a quick primer to get you started.  You can ask me questions and to further illuminate in the comments if you’d like.  ;)

1. Jealousy is not anyone else’s problem except yours.  No matter what the other person did or didn’t do.  Seriously.  Your emotion, your decision, your choice.  You have to own this, or moving forward will be impossible.

2. Jealousy is not bad.  Guess what?  If you feel jealous, it means you care about the person you’re having this anxiety over.  That’s great!  You care about someone!  Do a happy dance, fuck their brains out and stop being so freaking scared.  Or maybe you feel envious of someone.  Know what?  That just means you care about accomplishing something that they’ve accomplished or having something that they have.  Well, awesome, because knowing what you want to accomplish is half the battle, and well, look at that…there’s the person you can ask about how to get it right in front of you!  Unless of course what you want to obtain is your bro’s wife…then you might just want to see if she has a sister.  ;)

3. There are different kinds of jealousy.  Jealousy is basically a fear of losing or not attaining something that you want.  The three forms this most commonly comes in are: fear of missing out (FOMO if you’re from the west coast), fear of abandonment, fear of never accomplishing or attaining something that we want.  I’m sure that there are more, but these are the ones that I see pop up most often in my friends and yep, in myself.  If you can identify the one that is your usual trigger, you’ll be halfway prepared to conquer it, basically by telling it its a whiny, little bitch and to shut the fuck up.

4. Identifying reality is crucial.  Stepping away from your fear is necessary to seeing clearly.  Your partner very well may be cheating on you, lying to you or leaving you.  These things happen.  But fearing them will only do one of two things.  You will either create the situation you are imagining or you will hinder the possibility of confronting and lovingly working through why your partner is cheating or lying to you if your fear is indeed already happening.

That’s it.  Done.  Jealousy explained.  Tools to vanquish provided.  Go.

My Greatest Fear

May 6, 2012

For all of us there is a topic that paralyzes us.  There is that moment where suddenly a conversation or a situation veers in just the right way wherein we are suddenly done for.  Legs tapping, fingers twitching, pure anxiety, we’d sell our soul for a cigarette, a bump of cocaine, an escape from the pure, raw truth.  It is different for us each.  For me, it is the knowledge that what I’ve gone through at this job, I’ve done to myself purposely.  It is the knowledge that I could have escaped.  it is the knowledge that deep down inside, I feel or believe that the very, very lost people who I work with, understand a part of me more profoundly than anyone else could, even though these people are purely destructive to me.

How do you deal with the fact that someone you love, someone who has watched your body become a tool in the trade, someone who has spilled their secrets passed the highest walls of defensiveness there are, is actually bad for you and your life?   Can you really appreciate their place in your path and let them go?  Or is that all a bunch of hippie BS?  After all, who else is going to understand that fourth hour where all there was left to do was suck that pathetic excuse for a cock (cocktail peanut maybe?) as if your life depended on it?  Are you supposed to just let go of the ones who’ve seen you through the worst of times because they are negative influences on your life?  Are you supposed to just re-embrace your positive, ‘best’ friends again even though they seem to have abandoned you in your darkness?  Even if that abandonment was probably your own doing?

Confronting dilemmas like this are what makes my anxiety churn to the breakdown level.  It is not an easy answer.  What is friendship after all?  Is it being there no matter what?  Is it standing up and demanding that someone live up to your standards or you have to let them go?  Is it hooking them up with an opportunity to screw a guy over for money? Is it seeing someone at their worst and tolerating that, much less loving them despite or for that?  Why is it so confusing?
