Really, what is love? Is it the complete trust you have with your partner? Is the quick pounding in your chest when you see your crush walking towards you? Or is it all just fate, where the two of you are Romeo and Juliet, meant to be together forever and ever. And of course, lets not forget the other type of love, *ahem* ahem *wink *wink.

Well, the hell if I know what love is. That goes for the general population on Earth as well, I mean, why do we date? Seriously. Dating is like playing chess, you carefully think through every piece your going to play, and fear that the next move that you make will cost you and eventually you will lose. That's if you panic and don't plan out your moves well. Each moves counts, taking risks are necessary to win. The end goal to winning may be different for many people, it could be just getting laid or actually winning the heart of your crush. If your really good at the game, you may think that chess is no different than playing a game of tic tac toe. When you get to this level, you become quite the player.

Everybody is insecure about the subject of dating, even the f***boys and sluts. It's just a matter of how many times they just toss/win the game and start over with a new player. Losing the compassion to win creates a crappy game; no one has fun. Playing a game with people who don't care is a waste of your time and efforts. There's nothing to gain from them but disappointment. There our plenty of players out there, it's just a matter of finding someone who is fun to keep playing with and who cares.

Finding someone to date can be hard, and being a good player is not as easy as it may seem. Each move is calculated and planned out, and when the risks get high, there is even more concentration. With great rick comes a great reward. Winning too much may label you as a top player, but people don't want to play with someone that will easily win, especially if the person that wins intends to move on to the next player. There is a requirement of care with each person you meet by flirting and going out with them. Stick to a good game plan until the very end.

To keep on playing this game of chess, (a.k.a. dating), you will become a better player over time. If your goal is to play with as many players as you can, then you will have a lot of experience and most likely keep winning; as long as you are smart with the moves you make. If your are more of an introvert and don't like playing this chess game, then you may have a more difficult time on being familiar with how to win. It comes down to sharpening your skills to be more strategic in order to win with whatever your end goal is in the relationship.

With every game, show respect and compassion to the other player; there is nothing better than having an enthusiastic player that will make your time worth while. Maybe even for the rest of your life. Good luck to all of you players out there, and remember to have fun.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
