It’s the name of my MySpace blog… “xXxXx The Dirt Road xXxXx”. Cute huh? It’s very self descriptive of me.

It’s funny that I describe myself with that and forget sometimes that I remark how my son insists on taking the dirt path, we show him the paved road (the easy way to do things) but instead he does it his way and sometimes that ends up being harder. He’s like his mom.

I can’t say I’m any better. I’m a bit of a know it all even. Big surprise huh? LOL. I can admit my faults, I act like I know everything and so does my son, that apple didn’t fall far at all. I insist on doing things my way when I can and if it’s a harder way, oh well I’m there anyways.

The dirt road for me is appealing because I know that a lot of people haven’t gone that way before, and I might catch a few things down that way that others have missed. Maybe. You never know until you go there right?

I figure I can read about the other path later, so many people have taken someone has written about it surely and I can catch what they learned vicariously, but the real adventure is on the dirt road.

You get tripped up by the occasional rock which only brings you closer to the ground, nothing wrong with staying grounded. I’ve been told and truly believe that you just have to get up one more time than you fall down to be successful.

I fall all the time, literally and figuratively and I learn something every time. When it’s a literal trip, I usually only learn what tripped me, but when I fall in life and I am forced to pull myself back up again, I certainly learn what the hell NOT to do!

But stumbling is human nature, we don’t always know the direction we are taking isn’t the right one, but we take it anyways and hope for the best - knowing there’s a lesson to be learned whether or not we have to turn around, go back and start over.

Sometimes the lesson is that I should have read the signs along the way and I wouldn’t have gotten lost and wasted so much time.

What lessons have you learned on the dirt road?

I know I’ve mentioned MommyTalk.com before and today’s post is from MommyTalk.com, M.A. Singleton writes about the adventures of dating life, something I think all of us can relate to.

This was the first installment shared on MommyTalk.com and I had to share it with you all because I knew you would appreciate it.

Time Flies When You’re Dating Mr. Wrong
by M. A. Singleton

It seems like everyone is married. I’m not exaggerating either. I’ve been to six weddings in the past 9 months (thankfully, I only had to stand up in two). A few years ago I scoffed at the idea that some of my early-blooming friends were getting hitched, but now, I’m scoffing a little less and searching for Mr. Right a little more.

I knew it was getting serious when my roommate of late, the ETERNALLY SINGLE girl whose longest relationships spanned five months at best (with him cheating on her the entire time), moved out of my house and into an apartment with (sigh) her boyfriend and their dog.

Anyway, time flies when you’re dating Mr. Wrong.

And, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. My last boyfriend, whom I kicked to the curb just short of Valentine’s Day, turned out to be a complete psychopath. I recently read this article (although a few years old, I found it interesting) about relationships:

“Of course, in most cases there isn’t just one reason a romantic relationship goes south. We asked respondents to list as many reasons as applied for their last breakup, and commitment problems and lack of passion were near the top of the list.”

Here is what my percentages would be for my last three breakups (starting with the most recent):

Breakup 1 – 100% certifiable nut-job
Breakup 2 – 35% egotistical jerk, 65% pothead
Breakup 3 – 95% weirdo, 5% creepy potential serial killer

The problem with me is that I am a monkey. Ok, that sounded a bit odd, but it’s true. Picture a monkey swinging from vines in a jungle. The monkey holds tightly onto one vine while it reaches for another. It does not let go of the first vine until it has a secure, tight grip on the second. I do that with boys. I’m a relationship jumper, which someone far more knowledgeable than me recently pointed out probably leads me to bad boys and dysfunctional DBs (short for douche bags, excuse my French).

So, I decided that I need to either kick this bad habit or become a lesbian. So, I am going on a serious dating extravaganza. I’m talking serious, mega, HUGE – starting tonight! I am not, repeat, am not, getting back into a relationship until I go on a TON of dates, good, bad and ugly.

I am excited to share my crazy stories with you as I embark on this crazy journey.

Wish me luck – I’ll need it.

Wasn’t that great? Tell me how you liked it and I may put the next one up here if you really enjoy it, I know I did.

I found a fun Sex Quiz to help you find out how you are in bed. I am not at all too proud to say that I make sure my DH isn’t looking for anything anywhere else, and you do that by filling needs.

That’s what a commitment is about, beyond all the promises and idealism, seriously, good sex is very important in a relationship. A MouthyGirl should fill the needs of her significant other, when you finally find that one that you can see into the future with…that relationship deserves your all. Everything you can give it, absolutely give it.

When you love completely, whether it works out forever or not, you can walk away and know you gave it everything you had and didn’t hold anything back. I think that provides closure when a relationship doesn’t work out. Be choosy who you’re picking, make sure they aren’t going to hurt you as soon as you become vulnerable - but don’t hold back once you know they’re committed too.

Sex for both people in a relationship is very important because in the beginning it’s hot and heavy and excellent for both parties. Then it wanes, but why? Don’t leave it to him to make all the moves I know it’s easy to expect that because he’s the man, but you know you like it too so get after it and take what’s yours. That’s what I believe anyways. A man likes to feel wanted just as much as a woman does.

Like the porn star name generator from yesterday, get naughty and make things interesting. If you’re especially brave you could even seek out a strippercise class to learn that technique of exercise. I’ve heard it has great results.

I’ll never forget my little sister asking my dh one day if he and I had a song, and he looked at her without even taking a second to think and named, “Closer to God” by Nine Inch Nails and my sister says, “Aaaw!”. I blushed at the time and they all laughed at me because I’m modest, if you could only see my face as I write this, lol. But it was and is still flattering to know he’s that passionate about us.

I am proud to say that we’re five years in and there have been no complaints. Go that extra mile, take that extra step and be sexy, maintain some mystery and keep things hott!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this..

Let’s face it, the first time we have sex sucks. The circumstances may be great and whatever but the first time sucks. If you’re lucky you get someone who knows what they’re doing or is attentive enough to know how to please you when you’re young, so that it’s enjoyable for you from the start.

Some of us aren’t so lucky and we get well into our twenties before we get anyone good. Such was my situation. If you go through life not knowing how good it can be, you can easily fool yourself into thinking what you’ve got is fine because you don’t know what you like.

I think a lot of people go their whole lives without having a really good sexual experience, or experience an orgasm for that matter. In retrospect I think of how much I was missing and am glad I’m not anymore.

But I wonder, how do you learn things like this, what you like and don’t without being promiscuous? By watching XXX rated films? Isn’t most of that about money shots and women servicing men? How does a female learn anything from that? I wonder too why it’s so unacceptable for women to talk about sex and participate in the experimentation that men enjoy without reprisal?

Just for fun I went and found a porn star name generator…

My porn star name is Sarah Moan.
What’s your sexalicious porn star name?

What if I went to a bar every other night and picked up a new guy and brought him home, had a great romp in the hay and pushed him out the door the next morning with his boots on, keeping his hat as a souvenir?

I think a man keeping a woman’s panties being deemed as sexy and conquerors, keeping a man’s hat can be the same for a woman. We always look good in men’s things, and make them look better even.

Back to the point, I would like to know how you learn what good sex is when you have bad examples. Romance novels? I’ve read a few and some of them are indeed juicy, is that where we’re to learn about the joys of our bodies at the hand of a lover? Where did you learn about great sex? Do you think you have great sex?

I made up this survey to see what you have experienced, please take it, it’s a way to comment while staying anonymous.

Last night the DH showed me something that made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to cry. Did you ever watch the Dave Chappelle Show? It was hilarious! I thought it crossed the line a little sometimes, but that’s what made it great!

There’s an episode with Wayne Brady…lemme go find that BRB! Turn the volume up because the recording is kind of muted, but this is hilarious - you know Wayne Brady from “Who’s Line is it Anyways?”

Isn’t that great? Hilarious. But that’s not all, I’ve got a remix for you. Oh yes, there’s a DJ from Baltimore who’s been playing with these episodes and made killer beats out of them, here’s my favorite one so far…

OMG!!! I love Dave Chappelle and I was very pissed when he quit the show. Why quit at the height of your popularity? Anyways, that’s for another time and channel.

Happy Friday everyone, enjoy these and your weekend!

I work with an investigator who is likely going to ship out to Iraq in a matter of weeks. Through talking about this and various other things, he has told me about a friend of his in the Marine Corps from Texas who is overseas in Afghanistan and is a blogger…they call him Taco. (I love that!)

He recently won a blogging award from Milblogging.com - the World’s Largest Index of Military Blogs and has recently changed his home from Blogspot to TheSandgram.com. Yay Taco for being the master of your own domain! (Pun intended)

But more to the point, I don’t think that we ever get an accurate representation from our “news” stations, if you can call them that, of the war in Iraq and how all of that is going.

Regardless of your opinion of the war, and how you feel about the politics of all of it, the soldiers are still over there fighting while all the politicians figure out which orifice is their ass and how to cover it, so they still need our support, unconditionally. These are the men and women of this country who believe in our freedom so much they are willing to die for it, I think they deserve to be heard.

So I’m linking you up to TheSandgram.com so that you can hear directly from a soldier living over in the middle of all of this. Check it out, see what Taco has to say, and don’t forget to check out the former home of Sandgram at blogspot. I want to give a personal thanks to him and all his comrades for fighting for my right to write for MouthyGirl.com and all of the other freedoms that they protect for me and you.

Think about it this way, if the tables were turned and I were born in Iraq or Afghanistan or any of those countries that do not have the freedoms we do, MouthyGirl.com would not exist, at least not by my hand. I can’t imagine living in a world where what I thought was not something I could then say, and yes, I take it for granted. Every time I write on this blog and every time I open my mouth to speak when I haven’t been spoken to.

Thank goodness men like Taco and other countless men and women have taken up this cause of freedom and have sworn at all costs to protect it. I owe them much more than thanks.

This message brought to you by the Freedom of Speech and the men and women who have fought for it.

This morning on the radio amidst the usual, “Blah blah blah… music….blah blah blah blah blah…music…blah, etc” one show I was hopping between was talking to someone from the eWomenNetwork, and at one point she said, “Staying power comes from pursuing greatness”. Which immediately clicked in my brain as a great soundbite.

Since I started MouthyGirl.com I’ve had a hard time finding my voice, not because I don’t have one or that it’s muted, nay, it’s because I censor it. I am what the psychiatric world refers to as “A Peacekeeper” so it’s hard for me to write rants without restraint or go off without holding back. But I am learning.

Last week I did several things to grow this Mouthy brand that I am willing to shove down the throat of every male voice saying I can’t say anything I want to - whenever I want to. To them I want to say don’t fucking humor me bitch, LISTEN! Mouthy doesn’t mean loud and obnoxious, mouthy means shut the fuck up because I have something to say - you’re not going to want to miss it. So this is what I’m doing to further the cause that becomes MouthyGirl.

I ordered business cards to pass around, and ink pens to put in local business pen cups and that Ipod to give away.

All of these things to further the reach of MouthyGirl.com - and who knows what else once I get this ball going downhill? But that quote, “Staying power comes from pursuing greatness.” that one is a real gem. I think I’ll make it my mantra.

One day MouthyGirl will be a verb and not just a blog. I’m pursuing greatness baby!
