As many of my loyal readers know I am a wild fan of Barenaked Ladies the band that hails from Canada. Steve Page has been one of the lead singers and songwriters of this band since it’s inception in 1988 and since then they have developed a cult-like following. They have had four Top 5 singles in Canada, and two Top 20 singles in the U.S., where “One Week” reached No. 1 in 1998 and “Pinch Me” hit No. 15 in 2000.
For me it has always been about the song writing and the live performances. Steve (like I know him personally) has an awesome range of vocal skills and ventured outside the Ladies in 2005 with the Vanity Project. He has had some things that came up this year including an arrest which led to more negative press than I am sure Page ever wanted.
The Ladies as I like to call them have been there for me through many of my life’s ups and downs. I have had a history of depression just as Steve has struggled with it and have identified with this remarkable singer-songwriter.
That is why I have sadness in reporting that Page will no longer be a part of the Barenaked Ladies. The news was confirmed on the Barenaked Ladies website with this statement: ” By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies. Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart will continue recording and touring together as Barenaked Ladies. Steven Page will pursue solo projects including theatrical opportunities while the band enters the studio in April 2009, and hits the road in the fall.”
This is not meant to be a suck up hard- hitting article to the man and the legend who has graced more than one of my naughty dreams. Prior posts can help with that background information regarding these dreams… Just wanted to go on record saying that Page will always be number one on my charts. Wit and intelligence outrank it all for me as a major turn on. I am sure that he will be successful in whatever he does and the rest of the band is still outstanding without this front man. Here is wishing you Steve the very best and hoping that you will show off your ass-ets in your new endeavors both personally and professionally.
This is a look at how chicks (females) and dudes (males) look at the world in relationship to my favorite subject, S-E-X . Men, grab a brew and use this as a chance to find out a little something about your wife, girlfriend, or wanna-be sex partner. The ladies love when you pay attention and it will look like you are full of insight into their mysterious world. Ladies listen up and find some things out about your man that may help you in being the uber-cool wife or girlfriend. This is for the single, those in a relationship, those not in relationship, and the married too. On one side I will have what the chick hears or think it means and on the other what the dude hears and what he thinks it means. My job will help you look like the all-star of the relationship world instead of the loser that you might be if you screw some of these things up.
Foreplay: Chicks may say to their man “Honey I need more foreplay before sex.” Women are saying here to you guys: Take more than five minutes to get the motor started and you will get much more out of it later. Men who say they want more foreplay ( which I have never heard a guy use in a sentence ) may tell their significant other : “Honey can you do a little something for me?” Translation: Ladies you need to get to work in the oral sex department. I am not saying all the time but give a little. Keep in mind: Women are like a oven and take a little bit of time to get hot but stay hot for a while. Men are more like a microwave that gets hot quick and heats up the meal and shuts off.
A Night Out: Chicks say : ” Let’s go out for a nice night.” Chicks are saying to you that they would like some kind of plan for the evening that involves a little forethought on your part. Possibly a few choices of restaurants or activities. There is this thing called the internet guys that helps you even come up with ideas. Most larger cities have the citysearch.com that allows you to just check out most romantic restaurants or coolest bar. They even have phone numbers to help you call and make the reservation. Men say: “Let’s go out for a nice night.” What they mean is “Let’s go to the local sports bar have some beer,wings, and chill.” For a lot of men that is close to heaven and if you can find a chick who digs that as a nice night then you are in luck. Meet in the middle men and women. Look at what the other person might think is great and give a little. Women look at going to the new restaurant that you want to go to and then suggest after that grabbing a few drinks at the local sports bar. Men take a note and figure out where the restaurant is and if you need reservations. With a little bit of luck, you are getting laid that night.
Sexual turn-ons: Most chicks do like sex(at least occasionally for some and a lot more for some of the women like me) and there are some things which make them extra aroused if the men take a second to find out what it is. Chicks say: ” I love a man who can give me what I need.” The chick is talking about the fact that she wants to be asked what she wants before being seduced. Men all you must do is ask the questions about what turns them on… You might think you know but trust me women like to tell you what they want. Men say: “I like a girl who knows how to please a man.” Men mean that they want less conservation and more action. They want more than the standard missionary position for approximately 13 minutes followed by cuddling and sleep. They still would like the sleep but they are asking for the girl to shall we say “be a freak in the bedroom.” Women before getting your panties all in a bunch, just think outside the box ( I know nice choice of words there) and live a little. Make some noise or give the man a mind-blowing blowjob he won’t soon forget.
Of course there are many other things I could mention in this article which might help you in the romance department , but this was just a few of the common mistakes that the chicks and the dudes make when relating to each other. It happens in relationships, in hook-ups, and in marriages all of the time. Just think aren’t you lucky to have me to help guide you through these murky waters? Shoot me a comment and let me know if I am off base or right on as your feedback is always appreciated. Now if we could only figure out the the whole television remote problem…
As the day of love (or lust) approaches I began to fantasize think about what that day might look like for yours truly. Would it be a day of chocolate covered strawberries and a dinner at a swanky restaurant? Perhaps a day in treated to a massage at a day spa? As I thought about it I had an out of body experience that was much like a sitcom in which the person daydreaming sees the way it might be like as a dream sequence.
The day I would have planned would start with a morning awakened by my man whispering softly into my ear. Speaking softly and quietly I would be aroused (so to speak) and would respond accordingly. With my motor running I would be very happy to reciprocate and give my man a gift(much appreciated by him) first thing that morning. Basking in the afterglow of a wonderful morning session we would have coffee and then have a hot and steamy shower in which I would get hot all over again just thinking about the sex we just had. I would have a day to myself to get ready for a night that Cupid would approve. My hair would get cut and highlighted. My toenails would get painted with a coat of fire engine red. I would be ready for a night of passionate and wild sex. The kind of night that I would be seeing those toenails above my ahead and around the neck of my man. Getting the visual here?
Dinner would be at a place that was quiet and secluded with seating towards the back of the restaurant. We would enjoy the company of each other all of the while thinking of the after dinner dessert… I would be wearing a dress something like this one shown to the left. The shoes would be much like the ones shown here as well. You have the picture of this outfit in your head and imagine the fun that would be had by this hot mama in an outfit like that. Details are few on the dinner as my mind fast forwards to the end of the meal. Taking the last bite of our meal I become more and more anxious to get to the hotel suite booked across the street. While my man pays the bill, I freshen myself up in the restroom.
Hot shoes
Hot Red Dress
Leaving the restaurant I become more aroused and less able to keep my hands to myself. Pawing at my man I whisper to him, “You are ready to get the gift that keeps giving all night.”
The walk not being very long at all puts us in a hotel suite that is luxurious. The large bed with the clean linens and the crisp pillowcases call us… Before the door is shut the dress slips off and it falls to the floor. What hides under the dress is a woman dressed in a red matching bra and thong with all of her curves showing. My breathing becomes faster and my man grabs my hand and leads me to the bed. There is not tender and sweet words that are shared on this night. This night is meant for passion, hot and sweaty sex that leaves us spent, yet wanting more. A night which ends only when we both become unable to keep our eyes open. Sleep comes easily to us and we drift off our bodies intertwined together.
Opening my eyes I wonder, was this just a dream or will it really happen? Only my Valentine knows. Anticipating a day that is lacking in cheesy stuffed animals and over-priced flowers and hoping for the passionate encounter that I have been dreaming about. I don’t need all of the material things that might go along with the day.( will not turn them down) Here’s the dish, more lovin’ is this Valentine’s wish!
Just wondering what your perfect Valentine’s day looks like and if you are wanting to get your “heart on?” Please let me know what a day like this would look like for you in my comment section. There is always the chance to remain anonymous. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
Over the weekend I attended Blissdom 09, a conference for women who blog, and learned so many things that will help make my work better. My last post was about a week ago and I am letting y’all know that I am feeling passionate right now…
What does that mean? It means that I have begun to find the inner voice that I have been searching for over the last several months. I had questions when I began my writing here in late October. Would people be interested or entertained? I have confidence, and knew I had the skills to provide something unique, but wondered if that would be validated by others. With the comments that all of my lovely readers have left over the last several months, however, I feel empowered. While I love my audience that reads faithfully, I also write just for the passion of writing. A turning point occurred this weekend that unlocked some valuable insight, and I now know where I want to go.
This is to pursue the passion for writing about women’s issues and sexuality in a way that perhaps others don’t. I truly believe that I have something to add to the lives of my readers, to make you think about things differently or laugh (at me) on a day when you might need a moment like that. My passion for life is (I hope) obvious, but if you have not read any of my prior posts I encourage you go back and see if we are a fit. Finding someone who you want to read is much like a dance. I may step on your toes, and you may decide you are not comfortable with my content. You may find that the longer you dance with me, and we become used to each other that it becomes more fluid. You may find that my steps are too fast or too slow. My hope is that you dance with me, find that you had a great time, and want to come back another day. Better yet, I want you to like dancing with me so much that you tell others where the dance is and bring them along next time.
If you came here and decide that it is not what you expected, I get that too. Respectfully I ask you to give me a chance to add a little spice to your day. I have a passion, and I am a woman who is comfortable expressing that to a wide audience. Hang on, however; because I have a whole bunch of ideas bouncing around in this sometimes unbalanced brain. Just as the song goes by Bachman Turner Overdrive ” You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.”
