This article comes straight from the homey Liz. There just isn’t much for me to add so allow me to reprint a few paragraphs:
Men have always faced challenges when it comes to romance. Here’s a sign that technology may have raised another hurdle.
An online survey commissioned by Intel has found, among other things, that 46% of women would rather go without the horizontal polka for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. The numbers get bigger for certain age groups; 49% of women aged 18-34 would make that choice, and 52% of women aged 35-44.
Not that males are immune from the siren call of the Web, but the numbers aren’t so dramatic. Some 30% of all men would swap smackin’ bellies for the Internet for two weeks, if they had to, with 39% of men aged 18-34 willing to make that sacrifice, according to the survey. Only 23% of men aged 35-44 said they would do so. (courtesy of Wall Street Journal Business Technology Blog)
What the hell?? I’m slightly surprised by this, but then again LL Cool J couldn’t live without his radio, so I guess in 2008 it isn’t so farfetched to believe that men and women wouldn’t be able to live without the internet. I kind of wonder what percentage of people would give up their s.ex lives altogether if they were made to choose between their Blackberry’s and lovin’. Believe it or not, some percentage would pass on the a**.
So, I bring to you this question, what couldn’t you live without that YOU would give up chex for, if anything? Does giving up lovin’ for the internet make sense? And where in the world is Carmen San Diego?

First! yay!
@Jac, ya’ll kill me with the “first” comments **SMH because I am only commenting so mine can be at the top too
**
@El, i was actually wondering how long it would be before folks started doing the “first” thing…seems we managed to make it quite a few months before it happened…
@Panama Jackson,
i would have placed the over/under for this at october 15th.
I would give up sex for my family. If it was none or them…get me a bullet!
I dunno I think this might signal that we need to do some real bonding outside of the internet
@Jac, nah, not family. Hell, I would chose the internet over the family and my family and I are actually very close. LOL!
@El,
Sad…but that REAL right there! LOL!
@Jac,
You know I was gonna say I wouldn’t give up sex now for nothing, then you had to throw family in there.
I’d do anything for my family but I would just hope that giving up sex wasn’t one of the choices!
BUt in answer to the real question – would I (a 45 year young woman) give up sex for the internet – NO WAY!!!!
Happy Day to All…
@BeBeLaStrange,
Welcome!!!!
**Diva Dust ™ **
Happy Day to you too!!!
(I gotta get these all in before the Holiday party at 12)
@BeBeLaStrange, welcome and sh*t
@BeBeLaStrange,
Welcome BeBeLaStrange (we have got to get you a nickname if you stick around)!
Here’s your ***glitter*** and check for me in the Prayer Cubicle if you need any extra prayer or (mis)quoted Scripture.
@PBG,
BeBe is the nickname less you got one better especially for me.
I love this blog, I’ve read it all and I check it every day.
Thanks to all for the welcome, and the best of holidays to all.

@Jac,
I would give up sex for my family
***handing jac daily “way to take the question waaaaay too seriously” award, and wishing her well***
It would depend on how often and good the actions is. Am getting enough of the warm tasty goodness so I am sitting there thinking what is someone writing on my facebook. I still have Sport Center?
@Tallgent,
hecks yeah Sport Center is the male equivelant of Oprah.
@WuDaMan, that is so true. i can watch Sportscenter all day long, re-runs and all…over and over…
@Panama Jackson,
Errr… But I can’t watch Oprah for more than 5 mns at a time. So I don’t know if it’s quite the equivalent…
(Women are so much more complex…
)
@Ms. Sula,
but there is no denying that there is a stereotype that lots of women like the show. & I was talkin to the guys. smh
@Panama Jackson, I cant stand that shyt…my husband has it on in the mornings…I mean the first 2 times but hell they play that joint all day long like 15 times….I have developed a small apreciation for mike and mike though….
@Panama Jackson,
i second that. lubs me some SC.
@WuDaMan, I need something else to focus on, SC does not generally have any T & A reducing the thoughts of playing slap & tickle.
@Tallgent,
I see your point. I usually have knocked everybody out in the bedroom the night before. Then I get up the next morning if she ain’t made no breakfast already, I’m gettin a big bowl of cereal and SC or cartoons or bob villa.
@Tallgent,
How often and how good is predominant, lol.
Y’all know I love my inna-nets
But not more than ho-sh*t and sex
How long can i google myself
And push real contact back on the shelf
So crackberries and iphones be damned
I’d rather have me a big ol hunk o’ man
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
1,2, 3 and to da 4
alise thats how many ppl you need more
talkin bout i need me a real man
you can take that salt n peppa face back to japan

@Relax, Relate, Alise,

@Luvvie,

You def need more people
I think you’d fall out
If you had to leave google
@Luvvie,

@Luvvie,
Lack of good sex really gets me down
so passing that up is scary @ me like a clown
or albino ghettolopes stampeding
sad like the sight of a unicorn* bleeding
*no unicorns were harmed in the writing of this poem
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
LMAO!!
Just in case you ain’t know
Sis, you is real stoopid
Something musta bit you in the *ss
And I know it aint cupid
*Doing the backwards running man*
@Luvvie,
Oh queen of all things common
Sex is fettuccine alfredo, innanets top ramen
I couldn’t give up the webs forever though
but for two weeks my gchat would echo, echo, echo….
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
You right, Natural One
I agree wholeheartedly
If I had to pick make a choice
I’d pick chex assuredly.
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
Now for a limerick:
There once was a chick named Luvvie
Who was a thug but sometimes got Dovey
She once sat up gchatting
Ignored the man who was panting
Then finally decided to get under the coveys
I hate you.
@8th Wonder,
Aif, why must you hate meeeee?? I ain’t e’en do nuthin!!
*Wall slide*
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
this whole thread read like the DUMBEST poetry slam evah…
kudos to my VSS’s
they know they are some hawt a$$ messes
Overit, Luvvie and Ms. Alise
Proving once again they got mad SEXXY.
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
Uh Uh Uh
I love my intrawebs
Gawd knows I do
But I’ll kill someone dead
If they take my chex too
I dig my ePosse (shoutouts to PBG, U-Dub, Zee)
I can’t replace em
But I like my Tango (horizontal, that is)
So they can come in Tandem
yeah BOOOOOYYYYYYY!!!
*b girl stance*
@Luvvie,
This totally made my day!
this entire thread has made my heart smile.
@charli skipper,
Smiling hearts make my day!
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
The Intrawebs don’t lie
The Intrawebs don’t cheat
So blogs, twitter and google
Got that bamma beat
I log on and I rap strong
I be up in my Google Reader
Clickin’ mad links

These losers can’t have me
I type in the box and

Keep believin’

Erry day chex
The PBG don’t need it!
*goes back up on the porch w/the kitties*
@PBG,
I am more honest than baby Jesus bungee jumping off a steeple
I have now returned with my more people
Those folks are ME, MYSELF, AND I
The truth is uglier than Reh Dog’s “Why must I cry”
@PBG,
The intrawebs lie
The intrawebs cheat
Bamas say they look fly
But they end up looking beat
Thank God for Facebook
Or we’d believe all their tales
We asked for more people
But it was an epic FAIL
Yes, I will keep my day job.

@Relax, Relate, Alise,
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!
why must you be so FOOLISH?!?!
**gasping for air**
Well, we all need food, shelter, and clothing so I guess those things are a given. We needs those.
Although I’m a sexual person, I don’t need sex ALL the time so there are definitely some things I could sacrifice sex for. Music, Quality Conversation, and my Personal Time comes to mind.
@Monk, LMAO..monk I had a totally different idea of you when I fist started posting…but you are definitely a Grown a$$ Man.. Certified…
@Shay-d-lady,
Thanks, I think. LOL!!
@Monk,
I love the maturity of your response. How old are you?? I hope you don’t mind me asking.
@Coco,
I’m 32.
@Monk,
and by “how old are you?”, she means “are you single and sh*t?”
@The Champ,
Hey! Are you trying to start something??
@Monk
So are you single and Sh*t? LOL!
I could go much longer without chex than without the internet. Fact of the matter is this, when you step into the bedroom with a new mate, you have no idea whether its going to be good or not. And even when it is good, there’s no telling if you’ll want to stay in the bed with them after you’ve done the do. I dunno about ya’ll, but there’s no worse feeling than being in a bed with someone you don’t want to cuddle with while it being too late (or you being to drunk) to want to head back to your crib. That’s the definition of torture.
But the internet, you always know exactly what you’re going to get. Whether you’re Facebook stalking, checking your e-mail, reading blogs, cruising message boards or shopping, you are RARELY disappointed by the time you log off. And you don’t have to kick anyone out afterward.
Internet > Chex
@Jarrod Halsey,
“I dunno about ya’ll, but there’s no worse feeling than being in a bed with someone you don’t want to cuddle with while it being too late (or you being to drunk) to want to head back to your crib. That’s the definition of torture.”
that is some truf right there. that’s why i became proficient in the fine art of Leaving No Matter What. it often put confused faces on the chicks but whatever, everybody’s got to learn disappointment sometime, right?
@Panama Jackson,
i recently had a sich-e-a-shun like that, and even blogged about it….my life your entertainment: http://cornellwestside.blogspot.com
*shameless plug*
@Jarrod Halsey,
I could go much longer without chex than without the internet.
its funny, but for me, it depends on the period of time. like, if i had to choose between a week with no sex and a week with no internet, i’d easily choose the no sex. if it was a year, though, then bill simmons could kiss my ass (no romo).
@The Champ,
Bill Sommons review makes me want to see The Wrestler
@The Champ,
LOL @No Romo.
@Jarrod Halsey,
I have a main so for me sex < internet
Uh Uh Uh
I love my intrawebs
Gawd knows I do
But I’ll kill someone dead
If they take my chex too
I dig my ePosse (shoutouts to PBG, U-Dub, Zee)

@Luvvie, the b girl stance made that solid.
@Luvvie,
Hey Moderators. Yall can delete this. I added it to the thread up top. I likes to keep things neat.
Thanks.

hmm I must admit that I had got on VSB quite tough for a minute and had to ration myself….but ur ah…and no offense champ and pj and I think of you guys as friends in my head for real for real…I aint messing out on the loving for yall a$$es. or the random ninjas from myspace and facebook…but the one thing I will pa$$ up s.e.x for is SLEEP…oh my gawd.. working nights, school, a daughter and a husband that works 2nd shift and now my VSB obsession? shyt a full nights sleep? you betta quit playin…im getting excited just thinking about it…and also..a really, really, really, good book….
@Shay-d-lady, I agree! sleep is the new sex. You fantasize about when you can next sleep for an extended period of time, or reminiscence about the last time you had a nice nap. You dream about dropping everything, and doing it in the middle of the day. Sleep rocks!
and the book thing is a given! get out of my head shady! lol
@postmodern pwnage,
shew… i indulge in my sleep fantasies at work all the dayum time.
**BBMo’s best Teddy P*
Turn off the lights
Don’t light no candle
I’m about to take a 20 minute power nap… on my deesssk!
Turn em off!
@Shay-d-lady, Man, you straight stole my answer. The entire time I was reading the blog I was thinking SLEEP. As a matter of fact (here comes the TMI), I gave up sex last night over sleep. And I can’t even begin to count the many other nights sex has been defeated by sleep… hands down. I’ll take sleep over d* any night.
Now, I’ve read some pretty great books but I can’t agree with you on that one. My d* is way better than any book but sleep… that’s a different story.
@El,
Y’all ain’t the only ones…sleep is a commodity! Specially with them dang commercials telling us that we can’t sleep well or even sleep through the night, next thing you know I’m dreaming of roosters at the foot of my bed cock-a-doodlin’…shoot….
@Lil’T, LMAO! Not the rooster!!!!
@Shay-d-lady,
and no offense champ and pj and I think of you guys as friends in my head for real for real…I aint messing out on the loving for yall a$$es. or
none taken
I also know this is off topic but I just saw two things that really disturbed me
1. the bobby valentino beep beep video in which he is rocking and scurl lowboy and a gucci…yes a gucci as in that little pieace of hair at the nape of your neck that you dudes use to try and grow real long in the 80′s…and
Plies* in an interview..and what was disturbing is that he speaks well …he tried to use some words he shouldnt have but overall like he had sense with pretty good diction and enunciation..WTF then why would you rap like that? I just dont get it…
* please not that all of the comments following this sign should have a silent (for ninjas like him) added afer them..
@Shay-d-lady, off the subject with you. I LOVE and I do mean LOVE the way Plies raps. Whew, just thinking about that homemade accent he came up with gets me to wishing I had a tat on my neck and a big ole booty. Please stop hating on Plies. His rap style and his speaking style is different and I respect the fact that “he speaks so well. ” Thank you and good night.
@El, plies disgusts me!!!!!!!!!!!!! he seems like the kinda guy that would try to talk to you while smellin like a sack full of weed, with long dirty fingernails and sayin ish like, “you don’t know what you missin, ma!” ewwwwwwwwww. he makes me want to scrub myself. and become celibate. and sterile.
@charli skipper,
Plies fukkin sucks! And he looks like a ninja turtle gone wrong! He looks like his breath smells like a hobo’s a$$!
@YGB,
next time, tell us how you REALLY feel.
@YGB,
breath smells like a hobo’s a$$!
is this better or worse than bigfoots d*ck?
@charli skipper, DAYUM Charli Skipper. I just said, I like the way he raps. I have no plans of seeing him in person. And thanks to that visual, I never want to see him in person now! LOL. Oh and FYI, nobody could make me ever want to be celibate
@El,
Plies…. le sigh. he is scary @ me kinda like Reh Dog, and I wanna know, Why must I cry?
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
This is why I am glad I have never seen this “Plies” character, nor have ever heard him “rap”.
@Shay-d-lady,
I soooo co-sign this! Sleep definitely…hands down!
@Shay-d-lady, “Plies* in an interview..and what was disturbing is that he speaks well …he tried to use some words he shouldnt have but overall like he had sense with pretty good diction and enunciation..WTF then why would you rap like that? I just dont get it…”
You are kidding me. . .he interviews well? Will wonders never cease.
@IVR, Plies raps like his name is… well… Plies! But he speaks like his name is Winthrop. He’s horrible by the way.
@Shay-d-lady,
First time I heard him interview I was actually very surprised also. Although I can’t bring myself to buy one of his CD’s, I can’t hate on dude. When he talked about doing a free concert tour for cats locked down, I had a different appreciation for him.
F*ck it, I can’t even deny that I happen to like the “Put It On Ya” song he has out now.
@Monk,
“F*ck it, I can’t even deny that I happen to like the “Put It On Ya” song he has out now”
OMG!!!! I do too. I had to admit that to a friend the other night and I was ashamed.
::Snicker::
@miss t-lee,
Y’all are hurting my soul. that is all.
lol
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
hahahahha
I think it’s my current state that I’m in that is seriously skewering my taste in music…lol
@Monk, yeah, i like that song. i have to give him credit for knowing how to make a song for the chicks. i hate his rapping style, but his actual musical backing is pretty good. he has a good ear.
@Panama Jackson, yeah that song is catchy as he.ll…
@Monk,
i’m just mad that at least once a week here, i find out about a song i’ve never heard of.
@The Champ,
You need to come out the cave more…dayum.
@Shay-d-lady, you know, i remember the first time i heard Plies speak and was amazed that he sounded so articulate and well-spoken considering he raps like a retarded dog.
in fact, listeninng to him speak makes you think he should be rapping more in the vein of a smart-ish style rapper. plus, he comes off as so humble and appreciative. that cat is really living two different lives, his rap persona and his real-life persona. but hell, he did go to college (Miami Univeristy of Ohio – didn’t graduate though) and even played college football.
@Panama Jackson, hmm I dont know how I feel about that.. I mean I can understand making music for the hood ala jeezy but to dumb it SO far down giving these ninjas a false impression of man/thugdom…Iounknowboutallthat….but I am glad to see he aint retarded….
Ask me that question later…when I’m in a relationship…right now I’m single and free, so the internet takes priority over sex and I ain’t giving it up…lol
@Shelia, this is my answer. plus, i’m really trying to fulfill my christianly obligations of celibacy, so i guess i’m willing to give up chex in exchange for cool points with the lord. it be hard, though. (lol!)
@charli skipper,
Go charli! Go charli!
I couldn’t help myself.
lol!
@Shelia, let me get on this co-sign train of love…
right now Starbucks is my main squeeze. I couldn’t live without that mojo. Seriously. Which reminds me i need to get my baristas a little token of my appreciation.
@Princess Duvet,
i just read
upthread
how everyone is rhyming
and co-signing in their reply
i will seriously try
in the morning
when the sun meets the sky.
@Princess Duvet,
Which reminds me i need to get my baristas a little token of my appreciation.
my suggestion: exaggerated cleavage peak
I love the innanets. I love my blog. I love VSB and all y’all crazy ninjas. Its like that crack.
Buuuuuuttt…nothing beats being thrown on the bed/floor/ kitchen counter and being punished for being a naughty girl by behaving like a bad girl.
So yeah, um, chex over the internet ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.
@blackberry molasses,
As far as what I would forgo sex for. There are a few things.
If it would save the live of a loved one. H3ll if a loved one just needed me to be with them instead of between the sheets.
Shay already stole sleep… there have been many a night were fun was planned and sleep was a party crasher.
Some things s3x has superceded–
Work more than once… repeatedly actually.
Church, more than one time but less than 10 (forgive me BBJ)
Brunch with girlfriends
The gym
Catching an airplane on time
Checking out of a hotel on time
@blackberry molasses,
Sex could actually replace the gym…I hear you can burn just as many calories…
@Coco, “Sex could actually replace the gym…I hear you can burn just as many calories”
But is the gym as much fun?
@Ivy St.,
My point exactly…burn calories and have fun…it’s called multi-tasking.
@Coco,
exactly…
of course, all of the above foolishness has been done within the confines of the marriage bed. but I digress
My best friend is a fellow gym rat and we are accountable to each other on our ‘gymrat-ness’. We give each other ‘conjugal freebies’. If you miss a day at the gym, you better get it in that night. We’re committed!!!
@Ivy St.,
With my trainer and a private gym, MUCH MUCH MORE FUN!!! LOL
these crack cheesecake brownies that they sell at this cafe near me… yes, they’re that good. but as i’ve already had my daily dosage of that, i’ma go get my dose of the other
@puff,
so, you’re gonna go have sex now?
And a nerd I shall be,
For Thee, my interwebs, for Thee.
Bandwidth hath descended forth from comcast cable,
That my feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So I shall ignore a woman instead of Thee
And teeming with lust shall it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spirit?s Sancti.
@kamakula,
I think you may have earned some hell points for including that last line. Let me send an email to St. Paul and see what he says.
@PBG,
mhmhmh he shole did. Throwing the latin out there amidst his lustful prose. For shame. lol
@kamakula,
I couldn’t help to say: “Amen!”
(I still don’t agree. Internet be gone!)
Hmm, I wasn’t sure but this confirmed it. I’m the only one who’d notice the modified verse from Boondock Saints.
my macbook was int he shop last weekend and I honestly didnt know what to do with myself without my computer for a whole weekend… I seriously thought I was going to die..and its not that I pay it that much attention when its here but knowing that it wasnt brought a huge sense of disconnect, that I was missing out on something great happening in the world…
Aint nothing I’d give up that mind blowing loving for… but the fact of the matter is the mind blowing doesn’t come as often as the squirrel trying to get the nut so I’d choose my blackberry in a minute over some of the lames that think they know how to work it and leave you disppointed
@Eb,
Here Here!
I can’t live without music. I’d give s3x up for that (not for life though. LOL)
I can’t see giving up lovin for the internet, although I have gotten addicted with these blogs and such. I’m only constantly on here during work hours… My phone doesn’t have the internet (thank GOD), and at home, the battery life of my laptop frustrates me, so I try not to get on too much.
Maybe the folks that will give it up are in long term relationships ???? (I’ve heard the s3x dwindles.)
Carmen San Diego is in Miami, laying on the beach in a two piece bikini.
@Nicki Sunshine, I’m with you. I’d give up sex for a little while for good music. It’s hard to go a day without listening to my iPod…seriously, I go through withdrawals. In fact, I’d sacrifice sex for a few good new albums…why is so much of the new music coming out this season so crappy?
@The Queen, “why is so much of the new music coming out this season so crappy?”
Thank U!!!! I’m starving for a new Floetry record… but I heard they’ve broken up. I’ve been playing thee he!! out of Musiq Soulchild…. I haven’t been really messing with rap. It’s quite wack.
The dirty backpackers take loonng breaks in between albums… waiting on 9th Wonder, Lil Brother, all of that.
@The Queen,
why is so much of the new music coming out this season so crappy?
i was just thinking about this the other day, but there hasnt been an album released that i truly loved since 2000(?), when both the blueprint and supreme clientele were released.
@The Champ,
*singing* We made It.
I still jam Supreme Clientele every coupla days..lol
when u can’t get instant access to the gushy goodies (LDR), a web cam can do wonders. the goodies however do not provide temporary internet access.
that said. may you never have to choose.
comcast be with you.
@Deviant, lol…
@Deviant,
and Fios with you.
lol
I wouldn’t give up sex for nothing. Anyone who would give up sex for the internet is a blockhead, unless you make money on the internet. Ask me the sex question after I have a child and a wife for a few years then there will probably be something I’d give it up for.
As for these crazy broads on the internet. After I graduated college I feel like I shouldn’t be on the internet all that much but you peoples blogs got me reading! VSB and others might as well be Dope Boys. With Facebook and Myspace being “The Greek.”
Real Life > Internet
Sorry.
@James Nantucket,
This statement
“Anyone who would give up sex for the internet is a blockhead, unless you make money on the internet.”
reminded me of this line
“I don’t know what’s better, gettin laid or gettin paid. I just know when I’m gettin one, the other’s gettin’ away.”
I respect yo gangsta
@James Nantucket,
“Anyone who would give up sex for the internet is a blockhead, unless you make money on the internet. ”
The internet is my job. I think that survey should have been specific to Internet during off-work hours. I’ll give up the internet for a couple weeks during off work hours for chex but not if it means looking for a new job.
I would give up sex to help my family or some one very close to me. For the internet or anyother random electronic, nope gotta get the lovin’.
@J. McFly,
Mom: “Yo J I am gonna need you to stop making them H*’s weak and sh*t with the D if you expect the family to having christmas this year.”
I love hypothetical situations because they are usually so outlandish LOL. But I catch your drift.
I can live without the internet, so I would always choose sex over computer time. However, I could give up or go without sex for a time if it means more quality time with family, friends, loved ones.
I can’t believe people would actually choose the internet over sex. However it does make sense that people probably feel more comfortable hiding behind the computer screen than they feel when around other people, even potential or actual lovers.
The internet doesn’t judge….
@N.I.A. isabadmutha….,
ok, let me restate that…if I had a SO, sex with that person would always trump internet usage. Always….
@N.I.A. ….,
I’ll have to get on your cosign bandwagon.
S3x or the internet . . .
This is like one of those ultimatums where your damned if you do or damned if you don’t. Like choosing between cutting off your arm or your leg. Choosing to have s3x with Whoopi Goldberg or Lil Wayne. Only the devil could come up with shyt like this!!!
For me I need the internet, because it serves as a second income for my family . . . and it’s also s3x related so I’m screwed!!! Of course that latter part of my last sentence was a lie. I do make money off the internet, so I guess I’m apart of the few that would go without s3x. MOP – money over Pu$$y all day long.
But if I didn’t make money off of the internet then I would cut yall ninjas off
@eff yo couch,
MOD all day, you gotta eat.
@shhwhisper,
Time for a classic hip hop quote:
I don’t knw whats better gettin laid or gettin paid
All I know when I getting one, the other is getting away

@eff yo couch,
man, you LATE. I already quoted that on thread 17…
you biter!
HUMPH!
@blackberry molasses,
I’m sorry I didn’t have time to read through all the comments today
I only bite when I’m asked to
@eff yo couch,
Choosing to have s3x with Whoopi Goldberg or Lil Wayne. Only the devil could come up with shyt like this
**chuckling**
No Internet for 2 weeks is unacceptable to me at this point. My job depends on it and as a blogger…that ish just wouldn’t fly. So yeah, I could go without the sex. I’d just ask for a head in the lap nap.
@Slim Jackson,
I’d just ask for a head in the lap nap

I could give up the booty forever, but I would die without music.
It’s. That. Serious.
@miss t-lee,
you know, i think i agree. smart woman, you are.
@laylah,
Trust me before this year long vacation from the game, I thought I would have died without it. Now I know…I can live without the booty. It’s dayum hard, but I’m still breathing…lol
@miss t-lee, I feel ya on that one…I LOOOOVE my music….sleep, an extremely good book and music….and sometimes…i am ashamed to admit it…..a sinfully rich and chocolatey dessert..
@Shay-d-lady,
We’re right ~~~~~>here<~~~~.
hmm… like miss t-lee, i couldn’t live without my music but i also couldn’t live without my iphone… of course if “chex” is that dang good, i’m open to forgetting about the two…
@ladebelle,
lol like a sixth grader at “i’m open”
Having been without interweb access visiting the fam, not having it is difficult but doable. s3x on the otherhand…I agree with the above person. Anyone willing to give it up for being online is a blockhead. Period. Even giving it up for music…nope. Sleep…nope because it usually helps you go to sleep later
I’m in a relationship as well.
@Stank-0,
Welcome!
**Diva Dust ™**
I think the rest of the welcome committee is already on vacation. If they do show up, expect glitter from PBG, gold stars from SouthernGirl and a tour of the place with our very own Queen IG, Luvvie.
I’m married so clearly giving up s3x for the internet is
1) Not fulfilling my wifely duties and
2) Just dumb
And if you read above, s3 has trumped a lot of things for me.
@Stank-0,
And that my friend is the truth.
Let’s count the ways:
*You can listen to music while chexing.
*Chex puts you to sleep. (I didn’t mention good, because at this point of my life I just don’t have bad s3x)
*Chex is a workout (although for 2 weeks without the gym, I would have to do it twice everyday)
I guess, I am an overall better person when I am getting a steady supply of my man’s loving.
It really is that simple.
@Ms. Sula,
I guess, I am an overall better person when I am getting a steady supply of my man’s loving.
Word!
I’ll take that gushy, please. I’d just have to go back to snail mail, libraries, and vhs. And I’d actually have to purchase music. lol
Whatchu tryna say?
I got a book from the library earlier this week.
I’m still cool.
Dammit.
@8th Wonder,
Sho you right ray ray! you can’t get whole books for the free @ scrbd
@8th Wonder, I’m saying though… why go to the library to research when you can “google” it. lol
I guess I’m an instant vintage kinda chick, boo.
@8th Wonder,
well i guess that makes me raphael saadiq
I can deal with that.
@8th Wonder and SouthernCharm,
what happened to the e-engagement?!?!
I was all ready to buy a brand new dress and some fabulous shoes!!!
@blackberry molasses,
Were these shoes gonna be dyeable chanclattas? B/c if they are, you can’t sit at our table at the reception. I may die of OverRoast and Austin & Royster’s already got enuff of my moneys.
@Luvvie,
dyeable chanclattas?!?!?!??!
I quit you and your lifespace too!
“@8th Wonder and SouthernCharm,
what happened to the e-engagement?!?!”
Good question.
I’m kind of torn on this one…
Music, Food, Internet, Traveling, and College Basketball (SU!)
@Leila, Southern? Syracuse? Stanford?
@Herb, Syracuse:)
I love my Internets. Not sure why I would give it up for chex. 2 weeks? Do you know how much backlogged email I would have? I already have over 2,000 unread messages….that’s just askin for it.
@Liz, but you would be smiling while you checked those 2,000 emails! lol
@The Queen, LOL! Perhaps. I suppose it all depends on how good it was/is, and how regular.
Hmm….now my mind wanders…
Ok I know this has absolutely nothing to do with this post but I had to send this link over for those unicorn lovers out there in the VSB world.
Enjoy!
http://mingle2.com/dating/unicorn
@j boogy,
HEE-LARRY-US!!!
Thank you, j boogy. That was great!
@j boogy,
Thank u, i am the unicorn keepa round these parts…..
Some of y’all are lying. The fact that you’re on here posting responses in the middle of the night proves you’re not getting anything in the bedroom but bandwidth.
I won’t lie. That one week every month is hard enough but the internet provides a lot of distraction from the fact that the goodies are out of reach for the moment.
Question: Has anyone actually investigated the hours involved in both activities? I mean my time spent on the internet trumps time spent doing pretty much anything else. Without it that’s a lot of empty space to fill. (Pun intended.)
@Deviant,
I aint lying, I put that on er’thing I looooooooove, lol, naw, who says you only can get it in the middle of the night, you don’t know what I did at lunchtime … *wink*
@Deviant,
I ain’t lying. I know I can do w/out either. So if I had to pick which one…I’d keep my intrawebs.
@Deviant,
but I think that is because of the civilization effect. We live in places where clothelessness is frown upon in public. except for the topless states like Maine. And if we were monkeys everybody would do it no reguard I mean would do it like saying hello how are you. ah well bibbity bobbity boo
@Deviant,
“The fact that you’re on here posting responses in the middle of the night proves you’re not getting anything in the bedroom but bandwidth.”
Whose to say I didn’t post during a pause in the aciton, huh? Didn’t think about that now, didya?!
there are the necessities…
-food
-clothing
-shelter
-my fam
-money
this is such a broad question… there are still tons of things i wouldn’t part with for chex….
@laylah,
this is such a broad question… there are still tons of things i wouldn’t part with for chex….
well, narrow it down and sh*t
Dang….I guess I gotta rhyme…
uh uh uh…
I love my internets but s.e.x. i love more
get it on the counter when i walk in the door
it’s my work out i ain’t goin to the gym
i’d rather burn calories lovin on him
i spend all day on my mutha effin grind
internet over s.e.x….you must be out cho mind!!
whoooooo….lawd…LMAO!!!
***I’m off to Dubai tomorrow so, if I’m not on here before Christmas, I hope all of you have a fantastic holiday!!***
Love, Peace and Hairgrease (the blue kind)!!
)
@This Just In,
“***I’m off to Dubai tomorrow so, if I’m not on here before Christmas, I hope all of you have a fantastic holiday!!*** ”
I.hate.you. (read: Crazy Jealous!)
@This Just In,
How you gone rap about good lovin’, then wish US some Blue Magic hair grease then go to Dubai???
Ain’t that about a biatch???
Oh ok…Jesus told me to stop hatin’ and wish you a great time.
Have fun!
@PBG and BBMo
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
Good lovin is GREAT
Blub Magic hair grease is GREAT
Christmas is GREAT…
so basically I’m wishing you GREATNESS!!!
Dang!!
;o)
@This Just In,
St. Jermaine Jackson is the patron saint of Blue Magic, Vigorol, and Royal Crown.
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
His locks stay luxuriously glossy… *bling*
@This Just In,
actually royal crown the red I think it was card board can? w/ the metal top. Kept my granddaddies butters slick.
Have fun in Dubai *waving* bring us something back.
@WuDaMan,
fried, dyed, and laid to the side!! but don’t sweat…that ish will most certainly go running down the side of ya face!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!! *waving…really hard*
@This Just In, damn, Dubai?
i ain’t even leaving the DC Metro area. not that i’m jealous or anything.
@Panama Jackson,
Sometimes you just gotta bounce…like for real for real bounce….
@This Just In, F – all that . . I’m hating . . . I was in Qatar last year and that place was laid out! I can just imagine going to Dubai, as a free/non military person. DAMN!
If you go into that sailboat hotel (I think it was called Burj Al Arab or something to that effect) please tell me if the entire staircase is made out of Gold. One of those devilish Qatari contractors told me this but I have a hard time believing this nonsense.
@IVR, Don’t be hating!! Although green is my second favorite color. ;o)
I’ll let you know about that staircase.
Well.
Seeing as how I haven’t had sex in eons…No, seriously, the last time I had sex
*Moses was in middle school
*Jesus was still making wooden goods as a carpenter
*The victrola was still the music player of choice
* Harold Melvin had no Blue Notes
*The Cotton Gin was in its working stages
Sigh.
With that being said, the next time I get into relationship, and the good stuff starts ta’ gettin…the intranets can go sat the hell down, for serious.
I heart gchat, yes
Sex it is not, oh HELL no
Yall must be joking.
@8th Wonder,
“No, seriously, the last time I had sex
*Moses was in middle school
*Jesus was still making wooden goods as a carpenter
*The victrola was still the music player of choice
* Harold Melvin had no Blue Notes
*The Cotton Gin was in its working stages”
Twinny…I am three seconds away from QUITTIN’ YOU FOR THIS!!!
@8th Wonder,
Hahaha…SO hilarious. But if you’re really that old…you sure you’re still gonna want it?
@8th Wonder,
that haiku was da sh*t son!
@8th Wonder,
if your haiku was a chick, i’d choose having sex with it over the internet
Thanks and shyt.
lol@ 8th wonder. You might need to dust that thang off and give it a few DIY test runs before you throw it back into the game.
LOL
I laugh because you’re right.
@8th Wonder,
Like when they made the matrix bullet time bwuaahahhaahah
@Jamaal, welcome and sh*t
@Panama Jackson, preciate it!
*pokes head in*
ok y’all,
My non-techno savvy azz just posted an invite on facebook for my “between the holidays” holiday party. Saturday Jan 27th. If you’re in the DC area (or will be) come through. If no one gets the invite let me know so I can resend it.
*ducks back out to make a deadline*
@Lil’T Got Work To Do,
“between the holidays” holiday party. Saturday Jan 27th.
Between what holidays? MLK and Groundhog’s Day? Not that I need a reason or special occasion to eat, drink and be merry, but what would we be celebratin’, Sis?? Havin’ a dream about 6 weeks til spring?
Good thing you didn’t get that FB invite thing right, or you would be re-doing that joint! LOL!!
ooooh holla. I’ll brang the orange ginger buffalo bougie wings.
*side-eye @ Panama and his restaurant*
@8th Wonder,
Hey hey hey hey. That is a side take off of my kool aid arnold palmer stuff. I’m still working on just the right mix of ginger tea n orange kool aid. Almost there. got to figure a way to make the ginger spicey n the orange sweet. on the side of my hot wangs.
@Lil’T Got Work To Do,
Between what holidays? MLK and Groundhog’s Day
lol…yeah? i mean, exactly what holidays are we referring to?
@The Champ,
My bad, y’all! I MEANT to say December 27th – you know I have a little dixlyseia. MLK and groundhog day…lol!
Anyhoo – there will only be gangsta wings at my party, thank you. Ginger and her crew need to stay on the island.
They need to break down the demographics a little better.
I am sure we will notice a very good pattern. (read Omaha stay-at-home moms who blog about their kids, cats, PTA meetings and watch Oprah religiously)
What will I give up se.x for? Not much. I can’t think of anything right now. Maybe when I get it on the regular (read every morning of every day, twice on sunday) then I’ll be in a better place to speculate.
Until then, happy chex life to me.
@Ms. Sula,
Ok, wait. I just realize that I have Vonage… That would make it a lot harder to give up the Internet (no phone!!)….
But then, I always have my crackberry.
And for me, it’s more about would I willingly give up flexing for the Internet… To that I say Hell nawl!
But can I? Sure I can. I have done it for longer periods of time.
I’d have to roll w/ the innanets. 1. cuz I don’t use this @ home. 2. it makes me as smart as anyone who has put anything on there. 3. since I only use these entrowebles @ work they must help me earn my paycheck. So I’d rather eat something I can swallow and gain nourishment from than something that is just excititn.
I”m gone say…. if I had to choose…like pick one or die….I’d say I’d give up the tantric tango… had you asked about 8 months ago…. the answer woulda be the wonderful world of the ennnerweb galaxy. But since it’s present day and sh*t… the tantric will be outty 5000.
@Ro,
So what you saying? You cain’t get down w/ the get down if you had to give the cpu the nay no?! What is this world coming to?
@WuDaMan, No…I’m saying that presently… the nay no is non-existant in my life so to ask that today, which P did…. the answer is the nay no has to go. Now…when said nay no returns…the cpu will go…no questions asked.
What the world is coming to… I have no idea… I wish I knew so I could join in the fun.
what in the ham sandwich???? people would really give up sex for the internet???? the internet can’t love me long time so I pass on that proposal…I likes me some peen…I’ll live if the Goldbeezy has to be on pause for a few minutes…sheesh! What has this world come to when double clicking the mouse (no pun intended) was more important than sexytime???
@Syn,
are you new and sh*t? asking because i honestly dont remember. if so, welcome. if not, well, good questions and sh*t
@The Champ,
not new at all LOL I think I signed my comments on your previous blogs with my Blogger handle “Assertive Wit”…I forgot which name I signed in with last time so I just used my nickname…still reading and responding to you crazy and smart brothas
The internets have pron. Problem solved?
@Herb,
exactly
@WuDaMan,
you mean to tell me you’d rather feel the warmth of lotion and your hand than some REAL poon on your stick? f*ck outta here! LOL
But you kow what sometimes like this weekend when most of the country is snowed in (baby makin time). I’d opt for sweet sweet lovin.
So I’m thinking I want a non traditional Christmas dinner. I want to recreate this sea bass crusted with thinly sliced scallops. But I still want some chitterlings. and maybe some oyster dressing and Kentucky Wonder Beans (aka Italian green beans). And a lemon glazed king cake for desert. If I can find a good recipie some fava beans. I’ll make them too.
@WuDaMan,
Thanks for sharing Captain Random, *salutes
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
Am not. my randoms are always about food… hm
@WuDaMan,
actually, everything you mentioned sounds good. i’m shocked and sh*t
@The Champ,
T.Y. The Champ
@WuDaMan,
I was thinking the same thing… only I wanted some maple pecan crusted salmon, fresh lemon herb asparagus, and smashed rutabagas with an edamame salad and chilled glass of chardonnay.
But, since moms is doing the cooking… traditional Pseudo-Jesus BDay dinner it shall be.
@Ro,
Word that sounds good too. N you can sip yo chardonnay and I’ll have my pumpkin flavored soymilk egg nog w/ burbon. Partay!
@Ro,
sigh, how i love my fellow gourmands
We have come to the Cupid Shuffle/ Electric Slide portion of the wasting of federal tax $ known as our holiday party, so I escaped to the bar for a Harvey Wallbanger. While I sip, I thought I’d check in with my VSB’s and VSS’s.
Jamaal, Herb & Syn-
Welcome!!! **Diva Dust ™**
Alise- I am about to quit you for the St. Jermaine comment. Just dumb

sex or the internet?
well…
-I’ve never gotten up from crusing the ‘net feeling out of breath, covered in sweat and w/a charlie horse in my right leg (I know this ain’t just me) still feeling like “all I want right now is some grape kool-aid and a towel then it’s ready for round two!”
-You couldn’t lean in my ear @ 0500 hrs and entice me into waking up with “baby….I wanna….blog”
eff that.
gimme the ‘poor-man’s pastime’ anyday.
word.
@ThePhiladelphiaNegro,
Word.life.
it would be hard but sh*t, i’d give up the internet for 2 weeks for some nookie. but, i’d have to get it every day of those two weeks.
