Just a little note to let you know if you still check my blog via my wordpress blog, which has been linking over to this domain for over a year, that automatic re-route will stop in a few weeks….so you’ll only be able to find me at www.lostplum.com (or you could just sign up for RSS and make it easier on yourself)
So I need to talk about something that has been driving me crazy for months. Something I’ve been seeing time and time again when I watch mindless TV and it just makes me want to cock punch someone while screaming “Allez Cuisine!”
I’ve talked about commercials before. I’m bothered by a commercial that deal with “female issues”, I just am. I’ve talked before on how I don’t like the women in most of them, and then I talked about how some point out how stupid the female population is. But this one takes the cake on pointing out how stupid/dumb/ridiculous the female population can be.
Bayer has come out with a new ad champagne that encourages women to learn more about their birth control. This comes off the back of them being sued millions of dollars for apparently not adequately informing women about the health risks.
Ok first off, if you take any medications you should know what it is, how it works, how it affects your body and interacts with other drugs you take. Your health should always be number one. You need to understand how stuff works. That’s “Living 101.”
Anyways, so although I agree that it’s good of Bayer to let you know that you should take control of your health I have an issue with their commercials. A huge issue.
If you haven’t seen the commercial in question let me break it down for you. There are these women who are blind folded feeling a rhinoceros. They touch the rhino all over and are trying to figure out what they are touching.
These women give the absolute dumbest answers that one could ever say while feeling up a living breathing moving rhino! Answers given include: a wall, a rope, a pipe, and my all time favorite is the stupid chick who get’s ear slapped in the hand by a rhino and guesses… A BRUSH!
WTF?! Where are all these stupid women coming from! At least I’m glad someone is trying to make sure they all know how to use birth control correctly, cause God forbid these dumb ass chicks get pregnant and start procreating…..that is if they can read the pregnancy test.
Oh here’s the link to the commercial so you can watch for yourself.

Oh and if you like, dislike, agree, disagree, or want to cock punch me over this opinion (or me in general) you should check LostPlum (that’s me) out tonight from 10-11pm EST. on Shivio.com because I’m going to be a guest on Abiola on LSD: Love, Sex, Dating. The show is hosted by the ever amazing, always funny, constantly sexy Abiola Abrams! It’s going to be hot hot hot. You can watch, listen, chat, and even beam in….with me!
So here’s another post where I talk about the fact that I haven’t been writing everyday and I’m sorry. Except that’s not all true. I have been writing, in fact I’ve been writing a lot. I just haven’t been posting.
I’ve been writing blog posts, I’ve been working on a book, and I finished my screenplay (well it might need a few editing’s) I just haven’t posted anything.
I’ve been in a funk. Which then got worse, and seemed to spiral. I’ve been feeling for lack of a better word LOST. But maybe I’m just scared, and maybe for one of the first times ever alittle self conscious about my blogging…..and maybe about myself.
I’m not in a work funk or a social funk, and I am far from a dating/love life funk, I’m just sorta in a funk about blogging….a funk about this information super highway where we all put our words out there.
So in true Lost Plum fashion as I pull myself out of this funk (I’ve got so many hot and exciting things to help with that!)
I decided to make a list.
6 Things I love about this Blog.
1. The Layout and Design. I like things that look clean and aren’t full of jumbled up crap. It flows nicely, has nice white spacing, and isn’t hard on the eyes (much like yours truly)
2. The ability to vent, share, and let my creative voice flow. Having an outlet that doesn’t talk back (except for in the comments) is a nice release.
3. My new found friendships and readers. I love my twitter friends, my blog readers, my commenter’s, the people that engage with me, and even the haters. Every single one of you (them) in every single way. Even if you judge me that’s ok, just know I don’t judge you back, I’m just happy to have you.
4. The amazing emails I get. There are tons, and I really do try to get back to all of them, I really do. Even the hate mail I read and see the “good” in doing so. I love the perspective all the comments and questions bring to my life.
5. My little avatar/header/photo/ME. The picture reminds me of good great friends! And reminds me of great times in my life. It makes me smile, smirk and tip my glasses while I raise my eyebrow.
6. That no matter what I can add even something silly like this to the pile and it gets me out of a certain funk…..at somewhat.
So I haven’t been that great at my promise to get back in the habit of posting everyday.
Sorry……
Maybe I’ve been stressed, maybe I’ve been out drinking too much, maybe I’ve been working on the screen play, maybe I’ve been working on actual work work, maybe, just maybe I’ve been spending lots of time with a boy.
What have you been up too?
Ok ok… I know I haven’t been the best at posting everyday. Which is funny, cause I find myself writing stuff down everyday.
It’s March. When did that happen? And to top that all off it is March 2010! Seems like only a year ago I was professing my love for Peeps on Twitter.
Note to self: Profess love for Peeps on Twitter.
The last few months have been busy. Filled with stress, heart breaks, and new exciting ventures. New people, new adventures, and being officially moved into my new apartment.
Not to self: Rethink all white bedroom, given my food/drink accident ratio.
Exciting changes and announcements are on the way here at LostPlum.com
It was not one of my New Years resolutions but I’m adding to that resolutions list to be better at not only posting daily but also responding to your comments and fun emails. I do try, and yeah, sometimes I just sleep in and watch Netflix’s all day.
But if you come here to my little site and find I haven’t posted in a few days you should do the following:
A: Send me mean emails telling me that the only excuses for not posting is my fat ass was busy getting less fat at the gym.
B: Get a life. It’s my blog, and I’ll post if I want.
C: I guess I twitter everyday so you could always just go there if you’re missing out on my amazing wit and charm.
Here’s too all the many posts to come…whether they be good or not.
FACT: This is a throwaway lame ass post….I know. See bullet B: !
