Remember this: hopscotch, red light green light, kickball, dodge ball, hide-n-seek, and even red rover?
Well, if you don't you should, since most of that ish has just been made current by mofos who call themselves adults. What you mean Meik?
I'm glad you asked, allow me to explain. Let's examine a couple of scenarios shall we?
Scenario 1: Boy has a girlfriend, starts a new job. Boy meets a friendly girl that's willing to show him around and even invites him out to a party as coworkers; however, boy takes it upon himself to throw himself, tongue and all, up on girl leaving her dazed and confused and pretty much disgusted.
Boy then doesn't seem to take the "not interested" speech well and continues to try to force himself upon her ... meanwhile, hitting on other coworkers, women online, and in general all while poor lil' girlfriend has no clue and moves clear across the country all in the name of love.
Scenario 2: Boy and girl are "talking" if you will, and someone points out to girl that on a social networking site there are several pictures of boy boo'd up with another girl. But when asked about it, boy tells girl it's his sister, his best friend, blah blah blah. But girl notices that there are just way too many boo'd up pictures for it just to be a friendly thing. But boy takes it a step further: He makes plans with girl for Valentine's Day only to get missing and to never be heard from again.
Scenario 3: Boy tells girl she should give men a break and not be so hard on them since there are a lot of women in the Queen City and its impossible for a man to settle down. Then boy proceeds to proposition girl to see if she's okay with just being a jump-off.
I'll give you a moment to blink on each of these scenarios.
Blink.
Blink.
Blink.
OK. I say all that to say: GAME PLAYING IS FOR KIDS.
Clearly, nowadays some mofos would rather drag someone's feelings through hell and high water instead of just being honest from the get go.
In each of the scenarios, it boils down to one thing: greedy mofos playing the field.
From my point of view, it's an ego thing. Its almost as if their self-esteem is at an all time low, so the best way to feed it is to stir up mess and run through as many folks as possible. But, in the end, who's left looking like "Boo Boo the Fool"?
The only solution is a simple one: If you are looking for a jump-off, say so.
If you are simply just not interested in a romantic relationship, say so. If you just aren't into that person and wish they'd die a slow painful death, say so.
I don't know if you've met, but Karma is certainly one bitch you don't want to munk with.
Boudoir is French for bedroom, so boudoir photography is those sexy pictures of women in a bedroom setting. Youve probably seen stars take these photos, now you can too.
Charlotte Boudoir is here to take your sexy photo. Photographer Jeremy Igo spoke to Creative Loafing about why women and couples want to take these pictures. (Hey, its classier than making a sex tape Kim Kardashian.)
Creative Loafing: What is Boudoir Photography?
Jeremy Igo: The idea is some sort of photography that is typically risqué and revealing. Its more of a sensual nature.
Do you have to be a certain type to take these pictures?
No, we get customers of all shapes and all sizes. It helps if they feel good about themselves and are comfortable in their own skin. About half of the women who do this, do it for themselves. They dont do it for a boyfriend or husband.
How long have you been taking Boudoir pictures and what do people say once they take the picture?
About five or six years. The vast majority say its an ego boost because they see how good they can look in pictures. So, its uplifting and empowering for them. And thats for them. If they are doing it for the husbands or the boyfriends there is always happiness on their end as well. Ive gotten cigars and drinks sent to me from husbands and boyfriends.
Have you had men come in and take Boudoir photos?
I have, but its not as common. Also, couples will come in or the husband will like to attend the photo shoot and thats absolutely fine.
How popular is the type of photography?
Its been happening all over the country for years. In Charlotte, its becoming more and more popular now. Its getting more and more accepted. Charlotte is a little more of a conservative town so it takes a little more time when it comes to things like this. But each year you can see an increase in business.
You have to be 18 to get your Boudoir photos taken. Want to get more information, log on to www.charlotteboudoir.com.

In his latest book, Big Girls Do Cry, Weber takes a look at sexy plus sized women who get the love they want and need. There's drama, sex and did I mention drama in these pages?
Weber talks to Creative Loafing about his writing and the women in his book.
Creative Loafing: Why should reader pick up Big Girls Do Cry?
Weber: Well, a Carl Weber book is an experience. It's like reading a movie in book form. You have emotional highs and lows and you get lost in it.
Why did you decide to bring the Big Girl's Book Club back?
I guess it was the popularity of the previous book. It stayed on the best seller's list for a couple of months.
What is the difference in writing about plus sized women and non plus sized women?
After the initial physical description, you don't know if the characters are plus sized or not. In [the African American community]there isn't much difference in a plus sized women other than she has a little meat on her bones and a size six. They love men, they love women -- depending on what their sexuality is. In some cases when they are around other people, they let you know, look, I'm big and I'm not wearing a little behind bridesmaid's dress that's all tight up on me. But that comes with giving a character personality. . . And really, when have you seen a big girl who doesn't have a man?
What is some feedback that you've gotten on the book so far?
People are loving it. I'd like to think of it as revisiting old friends.
Can people learn real life relationship lesson from your fiction?
Definitely. Every book has some type of social message. You may not realize it. That's where the story pulls around.

Why oh why has Tiger Woods called a press conference for tomorrow?
Dude, this is why you should've stayed in contact with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley you don't have to explain anything. Even if you were dropped by some of you sponsors, you're still a billionaire.
Exposed as a serial cheater and stripped of his family-man reputation and lucrative endorsements, Woods checked into a Mississippi sex rehab clinic to repair his image and marriage.
That wife hasn't filed for a divorce and all of those skanks who claimed that they slept with you, well the clock ran out on their 15 minutes of fame. So, why are you speaking again, Tiger? Just leave rehab, get back on the green and shut people up.
Your story is not unique and frankly, it isn't even that interesting. Now, the John Edwards sex tape, I'm still waiting for. But come on, Tiger Woods is a pro athlete. He's supposed to have a stable of women. This isn't the first time we've seen this play out and it won't be the last. If anything, I hope Tiger has learned to find better mistresses. You can't fuck the waitress and think she's going to be quiet about it. Especially if you're not giving her hush money.
