Same sex marriage

I tend to shy away from conversations about politics and religion because those two topics always seem to cause friction and I try to be as drama free as possible.  Since this is MY blog I thought I would take the time to express my thoughts on same-sex marriage in light of the recent passing of the law in NY.  Do I agree with same-sex marriage?  Nope, not at all.   Do I believe people are born as homosexuals?  Sure don’t.  I believe that homosexuality is a choice just like infidelity.  Am I upset about the passing of the law in NY?  Nope.  While I don’t agree with it, I think there are bigger and more critical issues that we should be fighting.

My problem with the same-sex marriage advocates is when they compare their struggle to the struggles of blacks during the civil rights movement.  I don’t think that homosexuals are oppressed merely because of their sexual orientation.  No one can look at…well at least not at most homosexuals and know that they are homosexual.  On the contrast, being black is easily seen and led to and still causes some hindrances.  As a Christian, I disagree with same-sex marriage because to me it goes against the sanctity of marriage originally designed by God.  I’m not opposed to love, I’m opposed to the morals that being with the same-sex presents.  In my opinion, marriage now has no merit.  Let’s face it, most of our laws are based on morals and biblical content.  It is illegal to steal and kill because it is morally incorrect as well as the Bible says so.  I think that if we say it is okay for same-sex marriage, we can elaborate and say it’s okay to have more than one spouse.  Hey while we’re at it, marry family members.  Seems a bit far-fetched?  I think not.

Brazilian

I apologize in advance for those of you who may find this as TMI. 

About a year ago, I began getting Brazilian waxes.  I’m not really sure what prompted me to do so, all I know is that I begin surfing the internet finding places locally that offered the services.  I found a couple of spots but was too chicken to actually do it.  One day while visiting a friend in Raleigh, we went to European Wax Center to get a free service and I mentioned that I was curious about Brazilians.  The lady convinced me to get one especially since it was 50% off for first time guest.  Anyone who knows me knows that I can’t pass up a good bargain.  As I lay there completely exposed to a perfect stranger, she begin to ask questions as to why I decided to start this process.  First off, the whole talking to me while you are all in my private is a bit uncomfortable, but I didn’t want to be rude, so I provided short answers in hoping that she’d get the point.  Unfortunately, she didn’t and we ended up conversing the entire time she waxed me.

At first I felt kinda freaky getting a Brazilian.  It seemed like only something a porn star would do.  Not to mention, when I first started getting them, I didn’t have a boyfriend nor was I sexually active.  The woman was surprised to learn that I was doing this just because.  While that may be the intent of most ladies that have it done, I categorize it with eyebrows arched, legs/underarms shaved, etc.   

I will say this about Brazilians…it’s kinda like getting a tattoo…it seems like a good idea prior to getting it done.  I have a very high tolerance for pain, so I may not be a good judge of how painful this process is.  I can say, however, the pain lasts like 3 seconds and it’s over.  I am now hooked on Brazilians.  As a lady, you feel more clean and more confident.  I think that every woman should try it at least once.  Once you do, you’ll throw your razors away.  Prior to doing it, please do your research.  I’ve gone to several different salons and have had various experiences.  None compares to the experience at European Wax Center.  They have a technique that makes the procedure a little less painful than others I’ve visited.  They also are the least expensive.

Happy Waxing!!!
