Monday Mavericks: The Urban Cowboy is a Sham

Welcome to The Urban Cowboy’s Monday Mavericks! Every Monday, I welcome a guest to post whatever they like, right here, for your enjoyment. First will be a brief Q&A, followed by their post.

This Monday’s Maverick, I bring to you Shelle of [BlokThoughts].

How long have you been actively blogging?
Actively? Hmmmm 2008 sometime? Beginning of the year 2008. Actively as in putting down my thoughts and not just putting up pics for the grandparents… kind of active.

Why did you start blogging?
I first started blogging because someone told me that is what they were doing to keep in contact with family that didn’t live near them, keep them up to date on what was happening with their kids and stuff. I wrote my first, pour-my-heart out blog post when I was told by some co-workers I talked to much. Go figure.

If you could do one thing, right now, regardless of cost or repercussions of any kind, what would it be?
huh. I’d sky dive naked. I’m not sure… there are like a list of things I’d want to do if there were no repercussions. Like I wonder what it feels like to get high? Is that weird?

Do you like cowboys? Why or why not?
Yes, particularly ones that ride bulls. Why? Have you seen a butt in chaps? Need I say more?

What is the ultimate goal you wish to achieve through blogging?
The only real goal I have is for my Real World Venus vs. Mars site. I want to eventually pay my writers and give away things that help people in their relationships, such as, trips and finance counseling… stuff like that.

Which ONE word do you feel best describes you?
Sarcasm. Sad but true.

Which ONE word do you think your friends would use to best describe you?
Forgiving.

What is your favorite food?
Steak.

What is your favorite drink?
Water, flavored water if I’m getting crazy.

What is one of your favorite blogs to visit, that isn’t The Urban Cowboy, and why?
I can’t put yours!? Well I’m not sure I have another one! Candice’s blog makes me laugh almost every time… as much as I hate the F word and cursing in general and the fact that she is hotter and smarter than me… I can’t help but love her blog. http://candiceandco.blogspot.com. And I visit peopleofwalmart.com because it makes me feel better about myself, but that isn’t a blog is it?

Is there anything you would like to say?
I would like you to remind everyone how you begged and pleaded for me to write a guest post… which is why I started my P.I. work into who you were, because frankly, you had to have been high at the time to request my writing. It’s everywhere and grammar is for people who actually really know how to string two sentences together for people to understand… which is obviously not me.

Oh, and thanks for letting me guest post.

TUC is a Sham

I’m sorry to be the one to ruin every ones party, but I am here to disillusion some of you.

You see, The Urban Cowboy or (TUC) as we will know him from now on through this post is a scam. A wanna be, a shield over your proverbial eyes.

I’m not sure why I’m the only one that sees through him, but I thought it would be very nice of me to warn you guys about him. I don’t like anybody to be lead on… blame it on my freshmen boyfriend, but it’s just not a nice thing to go through. I’m here to help women everywhere, and men, if you are into that sort of thing.

I have evidence and proof that will back up my claims… but I need to pre-warn you, this will get messy, and if you have a bit of an obsession over this particular cowboy you may want to stop reading, it will just break your heart(s).

I first saw TUC reply to someones post done over on REAL WORLD. A site I am over about relationships. I’ve seen him here and there because we frequent the same blogs, but have never had him visit anything that I had to deal with. As I am not one to go gallivanting around looking for new blogs, I usually wait until I see someone new on one of my blogs and then go check them out, because they are usually awesome if they are hanging around one of my places… just sayin.

Anyway, I followed him home. To his place.

When I saw the cowboy hat I was instantly intrigued. You see, I have this slight obsession of my own called PBR, or for those of you that are uneducated Professional Bull Riding. I’m a fan, to say the least. And because of that, cowboys are all sorts of awesome in my book.

That country song had it right when it said, “Ladies love country boys”. I’m nothing if not a Lady… so it has to be true. There is just something about them. In some way, every girl/lady/woman can’t help but like a country boy, if only a little bit.

Now… TUC. TUC’s a different story. I’m afraid he plays dress up and wears his cowboy halloween costume 365 days of the year. You know, like you 3-year-old son who won’t leave the house unless he’s wearing his favorite dress up attire to tromp around the city while you run errands, and everyone stops you to tell you how cute he is? That’s TUC. He’s cute and he puts on a good show but I’m afraid he may not be genuine.

Let me pull out my bullet points:

*He’s too sensitive. Seriously! What kind of guy cares so much about their readers… wait, scratch that, what COUNTRY BOY/ COWBOY cares so much about his readers?

*Time. What Cowboy has time or the KNOW HOW to work a computer? Am I right? Or am I right? They know about animals, and leather, and callused hands… but a power button on a computer? Let alone a whole blog? I’m sensing somethings false.

*He winks virtually all. the.time. What is it with his winking? I mean, at first it was cute, but now I’m afraid he has a bit of online tourette’s syndrome. I should be sensitive to that, I know, but it’s truly freaky. This isn’t really evidence, just needed to mention it.

*Tipping his hat. Ummm really? Do you think he’s actually tipping his hat? A cowboy wouldn’t say something unless he meant it. Just sayin.

*Kissing your cheek or hand. Look at answer above under tipping hat.

*He writes well. Let’s be honest here girls and the one boy that may read him. Nobody writes with his depth and grammatical correctness and grew up on a farm. Nothing against Cowboys because I heart them, but they have other things they need to focus on… like looking good in a pair of chaps… they don’t have time to be deep, dark, and starving artist or author like. Ya feel me?

So, again, I’m so sorry I had to be the one to out his little scam. But this Cowboy you all leave love comments to… is actually a fake. Sigh. It’s so sad. I was disheartened when I figured it out. If we can’t trust the Internet to know the truth anymore… who CAN we trust! Can you believe someone using a different name and alter ego to convince us they are something they are not online? Someone using a fake name so they can write whatever they felt like on their blogs.

It’s shocking huh?

What is this virtual World Wide Web coming to?

Yet we fall for it. His kindness, his quirky winks, his incredible writing, his halloween pictures dressed up as a fun loving cowboy and his gentleman like replies to our comments.

You must be your own judge. I’m just here to lay it out there for you. A service to you people of the Internet, the ones that complete me and lift me up.

Good bye forever TUC,

Shelle.
