Tina’s Supplied Honesty

Recently I had a fellow blogger email me with the idea for my blog here. Her idea was to write about how to know you found the one, now I am not professional so I do not claim to know how you know! I did however think this would be a great way to restart my blog and include readers at the same time! What better way to hear about how to know when it is right then from many people who in love with the right person!
So here I am asking about what you have to say, as long as you don’t mind being quoted in my blog that is! Here are the questions that I would like you to answer, you can reply as a comment or email them to teenskee@gmail.com! At the end you can also say anything that you would like to say!

How did you know when it was right?

How did you know it was going to last?

How did you know this was the person who was always worth fighting for?

Did you have that one moment when time stops and you realize that this is the one, or did you just realize one day that you couldn’t live without this person any longer?

Did you ever think you had “the one” before, or was it only once and lasted for all time?

If you had one before; how did you realize it wasn’t right after all?

What makes “the one” stand apart from all the rest?

Back to the one that you are with now, how long have you been together?

How do you keep things so well between you two?

How do you show your appreciation to them, has this changed over time?

How do they show theirs to you? Is it enough for you, do you wish they would show it differently?

What is your favorite part of your relationship?

What is your least favorite part of your relationship?

Any advice, key, tips?

So I know that this is a few days late, Things have been extremely hectic lately. But I did not want to risk never saying anything to honor the memory of everyone who lost their lives on September 11. Every year these people should be remembered by the entire country, and be honored. Not only the innocent civilians that died, but the many heroes who risked, or lost their lives trying to get everyone to safety.

Every year there are many days and moments that pass when I feel like I have just got hit with this reality check and realized, maybe I am not being the best me that I can be. Maybe I can be kinder, maybe I can be more open minded, maybe I can tell the ones I love that I appreciate them more often, maybe I can ask less and do more. At the end of those days, those are the days that I realize; yes I can do more, should do more, and will do more! However, I also realize at the end of those days that the fact that I ask myself these things proves that I care about more than just myself and that I do make a point to let others know that.

As I lay in bed unable to sleep once again due to another migraine attack my sentimental side starts to shine through. Of course at 4am on a holiday weekend there isn’t anything to watch on TV except a lot of infomercials or a Jon & Kate plus 8 marathon. In one show they took a family portrait, and I found this so sad because it showed job standing with his arms down at his side and Kate leaning into him with no acknowledgment from Jon what so ever.

I am not sure if in 15 years I will still find this so sad, but if I take any picture with my guy he will do something to look like he loves me. Don’t get me wrong I am not an overly affectionate person. Honestly I am very difficult when it comes to that because I want to feel adorn but I also have serious issues with people being affectionate towards me. I just would like to think that after having children with my guy and being married for so long that at least in a family portrait my spouse could open up to me somewhat. Maybe a simple arm around my waste, an adoring look, or a hand gesture, something other than pretty much turning his back on me.

Now I don’t want to get into all the hype of who ruined their relationship because I never watched their show before, but this is clearly an older episode and Jon is clearly already turned off from his wife.

One thing I will never claim to understand what a child will do to a healthy relationship, because I have never known a couple who was healthy before trying to or accidentally having children. So of course I cannot say anything about having 8 kids and staying happy in a relationship. I just guess seeing that made me fearful of what my relationship could turn into one day. (more…)

I have been working on a few blog segments on addiction for this blog and another that I have. I think that addiction is one of the worst diseases in our country and it is also one of the most opinionated and over looked ones! People like to always find someone to blame when addiction comes into the picture. It had become almost as taboo to talk about as AID’s used to be when people thought it was god punishing gays. On one blog that I used to be a big part of my tag line was always “some take the phrase ‘ignorance is bliss’ a bit too seriously!” I still believe this. I think that people assume they know many things and you know what they say about assuming “it only makes an a*s out of you and me!”

I am not a celebrity blogger nor will I ever be because I do not believe in exploiting humans to make a quick buck. There is nothing funny about degrading someone who is better than you because you are jealous or bitter. Of course I think most celebrities take what they have for granted and others think that they are owed the world when really they just need a good dose of reality. I just do not think that poking fun at others just because they have talent in a form that I do not is really my kind of a good time. Don’t get me wrong; I have my opinions and everyone who does idiotic things often will be poked fun at by me at some point. I always say it is not the mistakes you make that make you the person you are, it is the way that you respond and learn from those mistakes that make you who you are. If you never learn, then quite frankly you are beyond ignorance and are just plain dense or stupid! Anywho, back to my point for this whole post…
I think that DJ AM’s death is something that should be talked about and mentioned to many! I know that you all have your opinions, and because he did do drugs or isn’t against tattoos and piercings you think that he is not a good person. I don’t really care what ignorant thought process got you there but let’s look at some facts. Yes, he went down the wrong path and was into drugs for awhile. Yes, he has a rough hard past that you never want your children to experience. And most importantly, YES he changed his ENTIRE life around and for the last 11 and a half years he spent his life doing everything within his power to help others with their deadly disease of addiction! He even created his own reality show on MTV that was very similar to Intervention and The Cleaner on A&E. In clips of the show that they are using to honor DJ AM it says that he wanted to prove to one girl’s family how easy it was for her to get a crack pipe in their neighborhood so he walked up and bought one. He immediately realized how risky of a situation that was because his “hands started sweating and [he] started to freak out” as he explains. (more…)
