The Meaning of a Motto

People give a f*ck about other people entirely too much.

And I don't mean people care about people too much, no I mean people give a f*ck about what other people are doing too much ESPECIALLY when those "other people" are single girls.

Allow me to elaborate.

If you are are a girl and not in a relationship then people wonder when will you get a boyfriend? Obviously you are dying for one so what's up? And if you are in a relationship it becomes OMG when do are you getting married? Obviously you are dying to get married right away so how come it hasn't happen yet? Then I suspect once you are married it's "OKAY! BABIES - WHERE ARE THEY?" and I really am beginning to suspect our only freedom will be menopause and even then who can really be sure. Freedom from tampons may not necessarily mean freedom from assholes.

And I should mention there are people who innocently ask questions because they are genuinely curious. I am not talking about those people. I am talking about people who are dicks about it. You know what I mean.

So these musings, coupled with some stories I have heard over the past few days, have made me realize something is LONG over due. There is something we all need that has been missing for a while and I think it's time to bring it back.

My personal motto.

My motto which is the namesake of this blog URL and which originated with my good friend Hill and I and that was borne of a deep affection for Eric Cartman, and for doing whatever the hell we want without explaining it to anyone.

"I look good and I do what I want".

Try it out ladies. Say it loud and say it proud.

The next time someone asks you the dreaded "So it's been a while since your last relationship, eh? What's up?" you tell them "I look good and I do what I want".

The next time someone opines "You guys have been together HOW long? And you aren't engaged? What's the deal?" you look them square in the eye and say "Well, the deal is I look good and I do what I want".

And for the married peeps when you hear "So where those babies at?" Feel free to say "Well Hmm not sure but I can tell you that I look good and do what I want".

And this motto is especially for people who consider themselves a cross between this

and this

Or basically for anyone who is tired of people asking you personal questions with an air of expectation and assholishness. You do things in your own way at your own time and if someone else has a problem with it well they are clearly not looking good OR doing what they want so they deserve our pity.

I look good and I do what I want. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
