carolina's bytch

Carolina's Bytch If you fight all the time, why do you stay together?

Right now I'm sitting here, TRYING to finish a short story. I have my music turned up and it's very loud, the soundtrack from Repo!

Carolina's Bytch What Would Edison Do?

The last two weeks have been the busiest two weeks I've experienced in a very long time. They have also been the most stressful. You see, I'm a writer, trying to get freelance work to help support myself while writing my books.

Today I almost quit.

Carolina's Bytch The Lone Gun

Several months ago, I decided to stop dating. I had ventured through one crappy relationship after another, seemingly dating the same man, the only difference being the packaging. Frustration became the norm in my life and I grew weary of it.

Carolina's Bytch The Social Affects Of Facebook

When did I become dependent on Facebook? I realized this morning that when I turn on my computer, right after I open my regular email, I open up Facebook. I use it for various reasons, mostly for networking, events and apparently communicating with people I should be talking to on the phone.

Carolina's Bytch Can We Talk?

When did we stop talking to each other? Sure, as a society we communicate, but we don’t talk. I just realized today that a good 70% of the conversations I have with friends and loved ones are via text messaging, msn, email and facebook.

Carolina's Bytch Orthorexia

According to the media, I have an eating disorder called Orthorexia. You see, I am a bit obsessive about what I eat. I am vegan, and I eat as much organic raw as I can, prepare my own meals, try to stay away from processed food, fast (cleanse) and prefer to use fresh rather than canned ingredients.

Carolina's Bytch If You Think People Change..

If you are one of the morons that think people can actually change... walk right over so I can punch you. (Punching, that is my new thing, but I will get to that.)

Carolina's Bytch wii Fit... The Angry Personal Trainer...

I am currently on a mission to lose some weight and get back into shape. A few months ago I sprained my knee while running and was basically a couch potato for a little over two months because of it.

Carolina's Bytch Perception and the Queen of Sheba

Perception is a funny thing. We often assume things are a certain way based on memory, opinions or how we virtually see things. Often, as we get older, memories or information tucked safely away in our heads change and it’s normally based on how our perception evolves.

Carolina's Bytch Letting Go

I'm the girl who buys the shelf that is missing the screw to hold it up, who goes back to the store to get that screw, but the store doesn't have it because they don't manufacture it any longer. That is the best way that I can describe my luck in love.

Carolina's Bytch What I Deserve

These last few months have been tumultuous to say the least.  The last couple weeks have been hell.  I am going to talk about this once and once only and then put it in the vault.

Carolina's Bytch The Secret

No, I don’t have a secret, what I would like to do is spew acidic, dragon induced fire about a video called The Secret. Recently I have been going through a very heart breaking situation.

Carolina's Bytch I am the fool card

In the tarot deck there is a fool card. The card represents optimism, blind faith, taking the leap without looking at where you are falling....

Carolina's Bytch Recipes for a Perfect Man

Viki, Adrianne and myself are sharing with you, our recipe for a perfect man.

Carolina's Bytch Oh la la Marlene

Marlene Dietrich is the epitome of sensuality. Of any woman I have seen in real life or on the big screen, she oozes sexuality and strength, is both feminine and masculine and has always had an aura of mystery.

Carolina's Bytch This... IS BULLSHIT!

This is Bullshit! Famous last words or my famous last words on the subject.

Carolina's Bytch Our Sanitary World

Hello Bubble Boy.  Let's talk dirty.  You feeling filthy? You should, come on tell me how dirty you are, tell me.  Ya, that's right... sigh. 

Carolina's Bytch Our Power

I just realized something about my power.  I preach feminism, preach, preach, preach.  Yet... am slowly giving away that power.  I had an epiphany about this when I was in the shower. I had the realization that I am giving men the power. 

Carolina's Bytch Are you an emotional retard?

Are you an emotional retard? Do you know an emotional retard? Are you tired of dealing with emotional retards? You want to know how to figure out you are with one, long before it’s too late? Your not the only one. I’ve been dealing with a lot of these lately and quite frankly, I am getting tired of them.

My Obsession - 1930's - I am obsessed with the era of the 1930’s. This isn’t a new obsession, I’ve been obsessed since I was a child. I find something magical about that era. I’ve been revisiting all of this through movies. We are getting a free preview right now of Turner Classic Movies and the channel is chalk full of movies from the 1930’s.

Carolina's Bytch The Rules of Dating

Ever notice how many books are out there on how to date, or meet the perfect man.  Ever notice that most of these books are written by men.  Hmm.  I'm sorry but if I want dating advice, I definitely don't want to here it from a man or someone who was recently a guest on Oprah Winfrey.

Carolina's Bytch The Pill

When I was around 15 I started getting brutal menstrual cramps... so bad sometimes I was in bed for the days.  My male 80 year old doctor's solution was I needed to be on the pill. My Mother said NO WAY I was too young.

Carolina's Bytch Queridos

Ah my Queridos... these are words of love, words of passion, words that Gomez would say to his lovely wife every time he sees her. Querido is a word that shows how he truly feels for his beloved.

Carolina's Bytch TV or Not TV

No TV?
Egaads! What has this world come to... you have no TV!
Where is your TV?
How can you stand not having a TV?

Carolina's Bytch Why do I have to be something....

Something has been eating at me for a while now. Something that may seem lame to some and quite important to others. It's important apparently to have....

Carolina's Bytch Baby Steps?

Baby steps. I was told I might want to consider taking them. What the heck are those? I don't think, in my entire life, I've ever taken baby steps, as a matter of fact, I probably wouldn’t even be able to figure out how.

Carolina's Bytch Orgasms, A Day Off From the World and John Cusack

Orgasms or if you could be a fly on the wall of one of our conversations...

The other day a friend asked me who I thought talked about orgasms more often. Men or women?

Carolina's Bytch The Cat that isn't... a Cat                       
 
If anyone is familiar with 'The Craft'   they will understand the term 'Familiar'.  For those who just went 'what the...'  a Familiar 'is an animal-shaped spirit who serves for witchery, a demon or other magician-related subjects.' (for a full explanation go here).

Carolina's Bytch Sometimes you just gotta say ‘What the Fuck! ’

Ever see the John Cusack movie called Better Off Dead. The premise of the movie is John Cusack’s girlfriend leaves him for the school jock amongst other things and he is so upset by this that he tries to kill himself. There is a scene in the movie where he throws his hands up in the air and yells. Sometimes you just gotta say ‘What the fuck.” After the hellish week I’ve had...

Carolina's Bytch A Fairy tale Ending?

The last two weeks has been a whirlwind of new friends, old friends, family, reunions, 50th wedding anniversaries, Loki and Margarita’s. Needless to say it’s been a wee bit chaotic, but some amazing fun and I’ve learned a few things about myself along the way.

Carolina's Bytch Friends Don’t Let Friends...

Recently I’ve been reminding myself about some of the rules of friendship. There are some very important rules that we all should follow. Since I am reminding myself... I thought I should also remind everyone else out there.

Carolina's Bytch The Amazing Love of Animals

When life changes it can either be a beautiful event or a stressful, emotional roller- coaster, that feels like the last stop is hell. I’ve recently come into the later and what a roller coaster ride it is, and I haven’t made it through all the loop -de -loops yet. Some of those loops include drying a lot of tears, and it seems I’m not drying them alone.

Carolina's Bytch The Laws of Attraction and the Ways We Label Them

I've never understood labeling. I find both women and men desirable. Raise your hands if you do as well. Recently I was talking to a friend about a crush I have on a woman. Her immediate response was, "Oh, I didn't realize you were ' Bi.'"

Carolina's Bytch The Six Phases of a Relationship

I’ve been playing with acronyms again. I think I need to write a book on them. The issue of relationships is in the forefront right now and suddenly the word allure popped into my head. Am not sure why it did, it happened during a conversation I was having with myself

Carolina's Bytch Why Bother...

Have you ever awakened and thought to yourself.... why bother?  Why am I still making the effort if I'm getting nowhere with this?  Why the hell am I wasting my time?  What exactly was the point again? 

Carolina's Bytch Six Strong Puppies

Imagine your eight years old and your daddy brings you home a Beagle puppy. He tells you the story of how he chose the cutie you are about to love and spoil and play with. He tells you that there was six puppies all together and that five of them now had loving homes.

Carolina's Bytch Girls with Curves

I’d rather be a pin up girl, than a zero size ~ The Go Go’s from God Bless the Go Go’s.


Girls are suppose to have curves. No questions asked. Zip it. Go straight to go. So why is it we still live in a supermodel thin, gotta be a size zero society??? Can someone please tell me. Please explain this to me!

Carolina's Bytch Challenge Me!

I have this not so itty bitty problem where I bore easily! I will go through phases were I become incredibly obsessed with something and it will only be a matter of time before I’m ‘done with it’. I get all gung ho in the beginning and then... poof, I lose all interest.

Carolina's Bytch The Punk Rock Vegan

I’m suppose to be writing a short story right now. I just can’t seem to concentrate, so I took a break and started googling vegan recipes, again. In my quest to find eternal healthiness (my, wasn’t that deep) and since I was fifteen, I have went from carnivore, to vegan, to vegetarian, to semi-vegetarian, back to vegetarian and now once again back to vegan.

Carolina's Bytch The City Of No Patience

I love this city. I love its diversity and that I’m always pleasantly surprised by the new things I discover. Lately though, I haven’t been so in love with the people who reside here.

Carolina's Bytch Brains... Brains... why I LOVE Zombie Movies

Friday night I subjected myself to what was probably the worst zombie movie every. I needed to wind down from a very busy and stressful day so I thought, I want to watch a Zombie movie. When I saw the title of the movie I foolishly mistook it for a George Romero movies. It was bad, have I mentioned that?

Carolina's Bytch Hello Grade 9

Why is it that so many people around me seem like they are still living in grade nine??? I've taken a hard, long look at them and most are in their 30's, good jobs, dress like adults, yet act like grade niners. I find the men are worse than the women, with there sneers and leers and immature comments.

Carolina's Bytch A Matter of Manners

Once upon a time the human race had manners. You excused yourself from the table or when you burped. Gentlemen held doors, pulled out chairs and waited for a lady to pass. We all helped the elderly, blind or disabled across streets or gave up our seats to them.

Carolina's Bytch Random Things You Should Know about me.

I thought it was high time I shared some random things you should know about me. If you know me you probably already know these things. If you know me and you don’t know these things, shame on you. If you don’t know me. ‘Hi, I’m Carolina who the hell are you?

Carolina's Bytch A Question of Poo

Why is the topic of poo so taboo? I’ve often wondered this. It’s a natual body function, just like breathing, eating or sleeping, but talking about it makes most people uneasy.

Carolina's Bytch Dear Moron, Why do you insist on talking to my breasts? They can’t talk back. Are you hoping they will? You don’t even try to hide the fact that you talk to them. If you had to tell me what colour my eyes are, would you be able to? I doubt it seeing as you have never looked me in the face.

Carolina's Bytch Inner Beauty vs. Outer Beauty We live in a vain, size zero, plastic surgery, botox world. Everywhere you look there are ads stating ‘a younger you’ or ‘lose that ugly fat’, ‘change your hair colour’, ‘whiten those teeth’, and ‘suck in the gut’.

Carolina's Bytch Leap of Faith Ever take a Leap of Faith? It's a scary thing. Trust me. I just took one. Not sure how it is going to pay off or work out for that matter, but I took it just the same.

Carolina's Bytch What’s Wrong With This Picture I overheard something, something I probably shouldn’t have. That something was a private conversation. I wasn't eavesdropping, but and unfortunately I was within hearing distance.

Carolina's Bytch Dreams That Aren’t Dreams... When you have a dream, but it isn’t a dream or a nightmare... then what is it? No, this isn’t a riddle from a Monty Python movie. This is an issue I have been dealing with since I had a dream that wasn’t a dream or a nightmare, but freaked the hell out of me just the same!

Carolina's Bytch Hot and Cold with the Human’s The humans confuse me. My lack of understanding of them has led me to believe that I may not actually be one of them. I don’t seem to conform to the standards of what makes one a normal human. I never have and doubt I ever will be.

Carolina's Bytch I'm No Longer Pleased I'm tired. I've been trying to figure out why. I know it is partly due to the insomnia I've had since the beginning of September, but it's something else.

Carolina's Bytch Crappy Food Nation I'm doing a ten day juice fast right now and am inching towards the final days. It's been pretty smooth sailing so far, aside from caffeine withdrawal and the occasional hunger pangs. I also seem to be very sensitive to smell, especially the smell of cooking and am finding it very difficult to be around people eating.

Carolina's Bytch East end vs. the West end. For the last four years I have lived in the East End/Upper Beaches area of Toronto. Prior to that I lived downtown. I loved the convienience of downtown, the east end, not so much.

Carolina's Bytch The $15 Waffle Maker Have you ever salivated over a recipe so much you had to run out and buy the ingredients and the appliance? I have and did. A couple of weeks ago I bought Vegan with a Vengeance. It’s a kick ass, punk rock Vegan cookbook.

Carolina's Bytch The Vegan in Me All my life I have rode the eating roller coaster. I have suffered various eating disorders, still have weight issues and have always struggled with making sure I eat healthy.

Carolina's Bytch Revelations Sometimes I just need a swift kick in the ass.  I can be very thick headed at times and too caught up in my own self critical mind to actually think that certain things can happen or will happen or that I can make it happen.

Carolina's Bytch Am I turning into one of those friends? I think I might be turning into one of those friends. The kind that you roll your eyes at when you see them and think, 'oh great, how do I get away without her noticing'. 

Carolina's Bytch A Matter of Friendship Recently I have been made very aware of who my true friends really are and who will be just temporarily stopping by. In my case these true friends have turned out to be more than just that, they are also my sisters.

Carolina's Bytch The Invisible Woman The running joke between V and I is that we are invisible. I use to think it was just that, a joke, but these last two weeks have me thinking otherwise. Let’s do a little review shall we:

Carolina's Bytch Mr. Personality Step right up folks! That’s right, step right up! Get in real close! You don’t want to miss it! Introducing, the one... the only... MR. PERSONALITY! This would be the point in the program where Mr. Personality comes out to the stage and then you hear the crickets sing.

Carolina's Bytch A Summer of Hell? ‘Is today an omen of what is to come this summer?’ I wondered as I awoke to the news that the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) had called a wildcat strike this morning. Fully understanding their motivations, but not their lack of consideration, I was not amused with the disruption to my day.

Carolina's Bytch Girl Guides Last night I bought a box of Girl Guide cookies. Three eight year old girls in their cute little outfits came to my door around supper time to sell their boxes of chocolate and vanilla cookies. They were so polite that I couldn't turn them away.

Carolina's Bytch Carolina’s Acronyms Last weeks article on Acronyms by Viki Ackland got me thinking about all the ones I have made up. That’s right I make up Acronyms, and I am sure everyone does. Sometimes I do it for fun, other times I do it as a way to identify people, sometimes it is a secret code I use with friends or co- workers. Here are some of my Acronyms.

Carolina's Bytch Slowly Losing My Mind... These last few weeks have not been good when it comes to my short term memory. I have been regularly asking myself "What the hell is wrong with my brain?"  I know my mind is quite full with to do lists, plans, ideas for stories and many other things (like getting my taxes done).

Carolina's Bytch The Strangers I Know Ever suddenly realize you have nothing in common with someone, absolutely nothing at all? This seems almost impossible and something of an odd nature for me, as I am always able to find some common interest with almost anyone I meet. That all changed Monday morning.

Carolina's Bytch I Will Never Be a Size Six Ever notice when you go shopping that the only sizes that ever seem to be left on the rack during a sale or extra small or size six. Or that all the of the clothes are sized to fit women with no hips, so unless I accidentally landed on the planet stick women... I am in trouble.

 

Carolina's Bytch The Lost Art of Letter Writing Once upon a time this world communicated through letter writing. Letters to lovers. Letters to soldiers overseas. Letters to employers. Letters to whomever, whether it be friend, foe or obsession. Not only did we write letters we would use beautiful papers that were sometimes scented.

Carolina's Bytch what's the point of... spam...here is some of the spam that has been filling up my inbox, it's a huge waste of my time to have to delete this crap and I am pretty sure that 99.9 percent of the planet also deletes theirs... is spam there just to annoy us...

Carolina's Bytch I knew this would happen. Human's are creatures of repetition. We do the same thing over and over again, not learning from our mistakes. I am a prime example of this. Not only do I continue to do the same things over and over, but I know well in advance that I am going to repeat past mistakes.

Carolina's Bytch My Head Feels Like Cotton Right now I find everything unbearable. Everything... I am not sure if it's because I'm now into week two of my cold, which by the way went directly to my chest. It seems that colds are the only things that do.

Carolina's Bytch My Sinuses Are Filling Up With Green Gooey SnotI can feel the snot growing in my head and there is nothing I can do about it. As I sit at my desk typing this, my throat aches, my eyes hurt and my sinuses are filling up with green gooey snot.

Carolina's Bytch I Want to Have a Coffee with Karla HomolkaKarla Homolka has once again re-appeared in the news. Turns out her new boss ratted her out on both her location and the fact that he suspects she has breached parole.
