like Bridget Jones, only not as well put together.

Curvy Jones on: An Open Letter to the Guy Upstairs

And I don’t mean God.

I mean the tenant in 8208.

So, listen. I know I’m single. And I’m not dating much. In fact I can’t remember the last time I went on a date. My last kiss, besides the ones I give myself in the mirror, is a distant, faint, dust covered memory. At this time of year, I am reminded on a daily if not hourly basis that I’m single.

I’m trying to ignore this message, and the inherent message that there’s something wrong with that. I’d planned on spending Valentine’s Day on the edge of the earth where roses, candy, and “Every Kiss Begins With Kay” does not exist. Lo and behold, I couldn’t get a flight out, so I’ll be at home doing whatever it is I do on Sundays.

It’s been a long, cold, dreary day. I came home from work and 3 minutes later had my pajamas on, was in my bed, and had Law & Order SVU on the TV and my blog reader on the laptop. And then around 6:30, I hear this rythmic knocking.

Really? At 6:30 in the afternoon/early evening? Well good for you. Let me just say this, though:

HURRY UP.

Cause I’m already not feeling well. Already in a bad mood. Already terribly single and sitting here directly under your bedroom listening to your bed bang against the wall? Not my idea of a relaxing Tuesday evening. So, if you could just hurry it on up, before I start to really feel lonely and sad and tired and all those things the media wants me to think about being single around Valentine’s Day, that’d be SUPER.


Many thanks,

Curvy Jones on: An Open Letter to Majic 107.5

Dear Majic 107.5,

First things first. MAJIC? Seriously? What doesn’t Magic Johnson own, and did you think you would just slide that right by us by changing the ‘g’ to a ‘j’? Clever.*

Secondly, your format is Urban AC. Urban Adult Contemporary. GOSPEL is not Urban AC. If I wanted to hear everyone’s mass choir sing ‘Jesus is Real’, I would go home and listen to my mom’s iPod.

Please to be playing some Kool & The Gang followed by MotownPhilly and Doin Da Butt. And if you could fit in some Skee-lo, I will get OUT of the car and dance. “I wish I was a little bit taller/ I wish I was a baller/ I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her” Good stuff, man. Play it!

Thanks.

* I’ve no proof that Magic owns the station. He just owns everything else, so. *shrug*. In an unrelated matter, he’s doing radio commercials for H&R Block. Interesting. The connection between NBA and Tax filing is just… so natural.
