love / Brittney Do you have a fear of falling?
Posted By Brittney Cason on Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 9:44 AM
Have you ever gotten into an airplane with a parachute strapped to your back, only to cling to the side of the plane — literally or metaphorically? Or sat in your cubicle browsing the Internet for other jobs in Charlotte, to close out of the Web browser — and then fight traffic on 77 to just go home where you feel most comfortable? You know, that feeling you get when you climb to the top of a rock and look down at the water below … are you going to jump?
Well, falling in love is a hell of a lot scarier than jumping out of a plane – or changing a routine. Philophobia: the fear of falling in love.
Even the most daring and adventurous people play it safe when it comes to love. They date the "Justin Case" … the one you keep around merely because they’re not a flight risk. The one that endears your flaws, and puts up with your shit. But love is not a safety plan. You deserve more than a Justin Case, as much as no one deserves to be treated like one.
But you do still need to look before you leap. Just like there's a thin line between being happy and merely content, there’s a thin line between naively trying to stay in the game with a player because you think he’ll change his game in the ninth inning, and being too scared to even go up to bat.
Funny thing is … I didn’t want to try and keep up with the driver that was honking at me, or challenge the NBA player to a one-on-one that was trying to run game on me. I was too scared by status (and admittedly, also too insecure to compete with other women). So instead, I dated a guy that was 10 years older, pot-bellied, and on the same playing field as me socially and economically… because he felt safe. And go figure, he’s the one that ended up cheating on me.
That’s the thing about love … when you jump, you never know where you’re going to land. But you always have the option of landing on your feet.
Dating is like buying a house on the ocean and not getting flood insurance. There’s always a chance that the tide will change and come crashing down on you. But wouldn't you rather build your dream home instead of settling for living alone in a shack with no open doors? You can’t buy insurance on a person's loyalty. So why bother trying to make a net before you fall?
Cason-Point: Just effin' jump. And though it’s good to wear protection, take off the life vest that’s covering your heart, and dive in. Fall … in love. If someone doesn’t catch you, the worst you risk is a broken heart. Repair it, and then get right back up on that platform. Because the real people who have heart and courage are the ones who follow their heart.

Brittney Toys for twats: Xmas at The Men's Club
Posted By Brittney Cason on Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 3:12 PM
'Tis the season of giving ... and receiving lap dances apparently.
Every year, for the past 10 years, a group of gentlemen I know all congregate over the holidays at a gentlemen’s club for Operation X-mas Child — putting the X in X-mas.
At this “Toys for Twats” charity function, they bring gifts to donate to strippers who may have it rough. Depending on what club they're working at, some even have to pay to come to work strip shifts there, I’ve learned recently. Anyone who has to pay to work deserves donations.
Being a philanthropist (and one of the boys), I got an invite to this charity function held yesterday afternoon at the highly holiday festive Men’s Club. And shockingly, I was the only girl there … well, the only girl wearing clothes, at least. But there weren’t many without them either. In fact, there were so few strippers there I felt bad and offered to do a dance for the guys — the choreographed hip-hop routine I did for the TopCats at the CIAA tournament, that is.
Apparently there aren’t a lot of strippers on duty at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. You can find several on duty at t 3 a.m., on the other hand, when they’re serving a buffet of tits and grits. But this particular afternoon, there were quite a few guys there in addition to the group of 10 I was with. It was so bad (or not bad, rather) we had to relocate to Uptown Cabaret, where they charge $3 for tap water. Really? That’s three singles they’re depriving the strippers of. I felt inclined to go refill my cup in the bathroom faucet — that oughta show them.
But before we left The Men’s Club we donated our toys to the actual “Toys for Tots” box in the lobby – with the exception of the sex toys the guys got the strippers and one teddy bear, Wooly. He was the award for the best stripper. (What’s a Christmas party without a little dance-off?) Too bad there were no girls to dance for them … I’m the only one who got an offer at the Men’s Club. True story. But I was too busy stuffing my face with a filet mignon sandwich to accept.
On a side note, to the DJs at The Men’s Club: Why would you play "Holiday" by Madonna? … you can't strip to that! You had the poor girl on stage throwing her arms around like an '80s pop star. I almost expected her to have an '80s bush.

He said/She said NFL Perrish Cox player could face life in prison for sexual assault
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 12:52 PM
Before this week, I didn't care about the NFL's Denver Broncos. The local team (those sorry ass Panthers) can't win a game, so this football season has lost its luster. And now it's even dimmer as news of Broncos's rookie, Perrish Cox's arrest comes to light.
Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Cox could face up to life in prison if convicted of sexual assault charges filed by prosecutors last week.A portion of the case unsealed by a Douglas County judge Tuesday shows the sexual assault charges are Class 3 and Class 4 felonies, which carry a sentence of between two years to life in prison. They involve a helpless victim.
When I hear "helpless victim," I think child, handicapped person, woman in a coma. So, I looked it up. According to the Denver Post, it means that the victim can't understand her situation. So, it sounds as if the victim in this case could've have been slipped a mickey (ust my conjecture).
But already, the deck is seemingly being stacked against this victim, as it goes down in most cases involving professional athletes.
Let the judgment of the victim begin. While her name is being leaked, what's happening with Cox? He got benched for the first half of a game. Are you kidding me?
The alleged offense occurred Sept. 6 and was reported Oct. 28.Cox, who played in the Broncos’ loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, is free on $50,000 bail.
Cox could face a four-game suspension from the NFL next season for violating the league’s personal conduct code.
I am further convinced that the NFL hates women.
Brittney Singled out in Charlotte
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 12:50 PM
Last week I threw a holiday dinner party that would’ve made a Johnson & Wales professor proud — or at least the deli person at Harris Teeter. So what if I served everyone on little kid zoo paper plates? They were on sale at Target.
As we sat there eating the brie ball, fruit pizza, and dates wrapped in turkey bacon washed down by skinny margaritas (which is pretty much the extent of my domestic repertoire), we realized that all nine of us girls were single.
Every. Single. One. Of. Us.
Where was everyone else I invited? Most of the other girls declined because they were cooking dinner too, for two, with their beaus. While they were all coupled up, we were singled out … that, or they just couldn’t find a babysitter.
And this is becoming a pattern I’ve noticed all too common.
As I sit here now, drinking my boxed White Sangria that was also on sale at Target in bed, alone, with a computer hoisted on my lap, I can’t help but wonder if that feeling of loneliness that comes from being single isn’t so much not having one special person, but not having as many girlfriends around anymore.
In the He Said, She Said column I wrote with Brotha Fred a while ago, we discussed how weddings are like funerals for friendships. Cason-point: I rarely get to see my married, or practically married, friends anymore … and when I do, it usually surrounds another friend’s wedding. And there I’m usually truncated to the singles table, or the kids table.
Where exactly is the division between singles and married?
It doesn’t just put you in a different tax bracket, but a different stage of life. Because as the circle of life turns, and you stand still, your friends cycle out around you.
Hard News 'Playing with yourself' takes on new meaning with release of Kinect sex game
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 11:47 AM
Raise your hand if you thought gaming systems like Wii and Kinect would lead to virtual sex games.
If your hand is down, you need to read this blog more. Think about it, when your body is the controller, it isn't going to take long for game designers (who I personally believe are closet freaks) to do something that makes your man parts and lady bits happy.
From the folks who created "3D SexVilla," "Fetish 3D" and "3D Slut," comes the first official prototype of a game that lets players use Microsoft's new motion sensing gadget to get down and dirty."The Kinect Controller is astonishing new technology that allows users to experience cybersex like never before!" Brad Abram, VP of Business Development for adult gaming company ThriXXX, enthused in a press release. “It’s novel, sexy, social, age-spanning, crazy, and a rush to have virtual control at this level.”
The folks at ThriXXX posted a video of their game (still a work in progress) on YouTube Wednesday. The video was then yanked by YouTube for violating the site's policy on nudity and sexual content.
Of course the folks at Microsoft aren't endorsing the game. According to MSNBC:
Microsoft has largely embraced this non-threatening experimentation. But one can imagine, the company might not be so easy going when it comes to having its family friendly game controller sullied by these adult pursuits.
Which means, if this game is a hit and it probably will be, Microsoft will happily take the money.
The ThriXXX press release says the software is in early alpha stage testing but claims it will be ready for launch in 2011.

Woman dies from masturbation 38
I thought killing yourself while experiencing an orgasm was just an old wives' tale.
