Runnin Rap

August 7 is the race
We'll be running half pace,
Thinkin' bout that shirt
and how we'll look in a miniskirt.

If I can get Kallyn's runnin' a go
She'll learn she won't need to smoke no mo!
Her lungs will start to crumble
and if she don't she fo so will a stumble!

We don't even know why we signed up
But we aint givn' up
These girls will be pantin' and a sweatin'
And NEVER AGAIN this we will be considerin'

We need more recruits
to help us have will in our runnin' suits
Anyone wanna join us?
Come on and jump on this runnin' bus!

Collaboration: What Men Should and Should NOT do {Written by Kallyn & Callie}

This last weekend I went out with a couple friends and one in particular was asking us to "hook him up" with someone. He was telling me that he wanted some advice about girls so I gave him some. I asked Kallyn to help me make a collaboration of some more. Asking some of the women we work with "What are some things that you think men should and shouldn't do," this is what we came up with.

*DO*

1. Open doors for any and all girls, regardless if you are attracted to them or not. It shows respect and that you are caring. You never know who could be watching.

2. Give complements. A complement from a man is way different than a complement coming from another woman and you will instantly see her being flattered.

3. BE THE HUNTER! A guy who goes out of his way for a girl will definitely be remembered. She will think of you instead of all that other nonsense that she thinks about constantly. (Women are thinkers!)

4. Have a car and/or a job. It doesn't matter what you do or have just as long as you have one. STUDENTS ARE EXCEPTIONS! (when you are in college it's more acceptable) It just shows that you have the things you need and won't be dependent on anyone else. An independent man is attractive.

5. Personal Maintenence: Learn it, live it, love it. Women are known to have a stronger sense of smell than men. They will notice if you are stinky and will definitely notice if you smell nice ;)

6. Make eye contact. When you don't make eye contact it shows insecurity, nervousness, and that you aren't listening. Your confidence will make her confident. Plus...it's sexy.

7. LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!!! If she is talking too much that is one thing...cut her off, but when she is telling you something it's polite to pay attention to her and give feedback.

8. Be creative. Coming up with new things makes her think you are fun and adventurous. No one likes a broken record.

9. Say what you mean and mean what you say. If you tell her that you are going to do something that weekend then own up to it. You blow her off and she will never forget that. If it's a MAYBE, then make that clear and tell her that it isn't going to happen if you don't plan on it. No one likes waiting around.

10. Texting: We all know it's hard to tell the meaning behind what it said, but if you inititate it...FINISH IT!

11. Find a 100 reasons to buy her flowers. THAT is charming!

12. If you ask her out then you should pay for her. Even if she says "Oh I'll pay for myself" don't let her. Women like for men to be "In charge" at first. After you become more comfortable with eachother is when it's good to trade off.

13. If you are sorry then say it. Something with men about saying the words "I'm Sorry" means more than saying "woops..my bad." It means a lot!



*DON'T*

1. Gift Cards. Major no no for the first 3 dates. Unless you mention that you have one ahead of time and that you need to use it, don't whip it out last minute (that's what she said) when the bill arrives! Terribly Tacky.

2. Don't be a creep monster. Too much too fast is far fetched and won't last.

3. If you are interested in her, don't talk about other women. She will end up thinking you have wandering eyes and a wandering mind.

4. Don't be rude to the server or leave her a skimpy tip. It's plainly embarrassing. Always 20%. It's the millenium Gentlemen.

5. Don't just drop the woman off. If you are classy you will walk her to her door after taking her home.

6. NO GAME ON THE FIRST DATE! If you stay reserved it shows you like her for who she is and not what she's "got."

7. Farting or burping is not allowed when you first meet them. Later on if they are open to it...ok fine. But the first time? TOO comfortable for her.

8. Don't be just the funny or hard-headed guy. Show emotions and that you have a real side to you.

9. Don't be just the sentimental guy. Show that you have some sort of sense of humor and make her laugh. Like number 8, mix it up!

10. Don't ONLY text message!!! A phone call is personal and hearing the other person's voice makes it easier to get your point across. Text messaging can ruin relationships by relaying the wrong message.

Things I think & Some Advice

1. I hate loofas. Why use the same washing thingy over and over when all it does is collect germs. USE A WASHCLOTH! I use a new one everytime I shower :)

2. I prefer gummy candy over chocolate

3. Whenever I say I'm not going to do something, I give in eventually. I think it's the thought of not being able to have it that kills me.

4. I don't understand the concept of designer purses...like Coach. They are ugly and have the same emblem on them repeatedly. Why would you want the same ugly, expensive, worthless purse as everyone else? They have cheaper and cuter ones that you can always replace when your mind changes

5. Pencils. I prefer mechanical ones over real ones. I always have to have a 'sharp tip' to get the best out of my note taking

6. Low cut shirts. I get it. You have it and some others don't. The way people act upon you is by first impressions. If you want to be noticed in a good way Ladies, tuck em' in! You will never find Mr. Right with your tatas hanging out. You will only find Mr. Temporary. If this is your way of seeking attention and feeling good about yourself,then I feel very sorry for you.

7. If you want something then you should go for it. Life will not be handed to you. AND dont talk about wanting something soooo bad and not go for it. It irritates me. I want to see people do what THEY want to do. Make your own choices.

8. Looks and Money are not everything! You can date the most attractive person with the best clothes and car, but be miserable that they don't make you laugh or just plainly annoy you. Materialism is fake, and so are the people that follow it. Be original and appreciate the natural things in life. Everyone has some sort of baggage so don't criticize people until you really get to know them.

9. Jagged nails. Your hands show the kind of person you are. Simple, well-kept, unruly, or hostile. Just look at someone's hands and you will see this. A person with jagged nails could be a secret messy person. A person with well kept nails could be a person who is well organized, clean, and caring. If they take care of themselves then they will take care of you. OVER CARE of themselves means they are far too into themselves to even want to care about you...watch out for the high-maintenence ones. Look at people's hands and see if it matches your analyzation. It's fun.

10. You cannot change people. People are the way they are. Yeah, they can learn lessons but they do things based on their insticts. You CAN change the way you react to their behavior and attitudes.

11. People who talk about working out...not a fan. If you are an athlete then that's great. It's not that we aren't proud of your accomplishments, but it gives off a sense or arrogance, even if you don't mean to. BUT there is a difference between discussing how you are doing and just excessively talking about it. Advice is good, but comparing yourself to others in an arrogant way is not.

12. Something about a man with good teeth gets me. For some it's the butt, the arms, the chest, the piercings. For me it's the dark hair and nice teeth. Same kind of guys I've always went for. My first boyfriend had dark hair and nice teeth. It's not that I don't like blonds, but I've just always prefered dark hair, something about them seeming more masculine I guess.

13. Negativity is so unattractive. I'm guilty of it too. I've found myself saying mean things about people and later think to myself "why would I say that?" It's natural to be attracted to positive people and to have negative conversations based on sameness. But most positives will make you feel good. Now be the same because no one likes a Negative Nancy. I, myself, am working on this.

14. Intelligence. Use your brain to show your inner beauty to hold them.

15. Have a heart. If you are willing to ask, then you should be more than willing to give.

16. Make the best of what you got! Everyone has something unique about themselves, but some just don't use it to it's full potential. If you can sing, sing your heart out for all to hear. If you can paint, then paint. If you are funny, make people laugh. Use the gifts that God gave you in life. You will be remembered by them.

17. Smile More :):):) A smile shows that you are happy, which can make others happy.

18. Take chances. Tell that special someone that you love them, take that trip you've always wanted to take, say what's on your mind, if you want something then say it or do it! Life is full of choices and when you open that door to having more choices it makes you stronger and makes life more exciting :)
