Things I Will Never Understand About Men... A List

Someone told me recently that I am like a man with female parts. Although I am slightly amused, and flattered by this, it did get me to thinking about the things that men do that I doubt I will ever understand. I know this goes the opposite way as well, but here is my list.

  1. Why do men say your body is perfect, yet check out the living breathing Barbie doll that just walked by like it was a juicy steak and you have forced them to live on tofu?
  2. How can they shower so quickly? Do they really get clean?
  3. Why do they think it is acceptable to scratch anything they want on their body any time or place they want to?
  4. Why do they open the door for you when they don't have you, and stop once you are theirs?
  5. Why do they stop trying to impress us? I know I am always trying to make my man think he has the very best in a GF.
  6. Why do men put so much importance on how much money they make?
  7. Why are they so ashamed to cry?
  8. How can they sit there blankly staring at the TV menu and yet never decide on something to watch?
  9. How can they start watching a movie 3/4 of the way through?
  10. Why don't they ever want anyone to see their feet?
  11. How can they sleep so damn much?
  12. How is it that their hearing is so selective?
  13. Why is it okay for them to belch, but not for me to burp?
  14. Why do they think we can always do everything?
  15. Why don't they get pretty for us once in a while?
  16. Why can they never talk about past relationships? Really? Come on, I know other women were a part of you life before I came along, they didn't all get abducted by aliens did they? Were you neurolized? 
  17. What about martial arts is so damn fascinating? 
  18. Why must they eat a shit ton of food while watching a game? I don't sit down to watch Criminal minds with a table full of junk food....
  19. DVR lets you pause live TV, why do you have to wait until commercial?

Please, nobody think this is directed at any singular man. This is directed to men in general. If any men can give me the answers I seek, I would be glad to follow up. 

Peace and Love,

Can A Book Turn You Into A Killer?


Okay, here goes, a subject many have touched on, and so will I. 

There is a conspiracy theory that this book is linked to temporary insanity, and criminal behavior.
It was also banned in the early 1960's and teachers have been fired for assigning it in their classrooms. 

Notably John Hinckley Jr, Mark David Chapman, and Robert John Bardo all had a copy with them when they either attempted or succeeded in shooting people of note. 

To be honest, I believe it is just a crutch for people. "Oh I read this book and it made me want to kill someone".

I have read the book. All I felt afterwards was that I had wasted my time. I did not like it at all. I am sure I have many readers that feel differently. I found it boring and uninspired. 

Upwards of 250,000 copies are sold across the world every year. Are there that many psychopaths?
Are there that many killers?

If J.D. Salinger put some cryptic code telling the books readers to murder, I never found it, and neither have hundreds of thousands of others. 

Charles Manson said that the Beatles were sending him messages to kill through their music. Nobody else has heard such messages and the Beatles music is still known today across the globe. 

I wish people who spend so much time coming up with ridiculous crutches for their bad behavior, had taken that time to rethink their actions. If that were the case, maybe this world would be a little bit of a better place for all to live in. 

I see a lot of excuses for bad, but here is a news flash. You don't need to excuse good behavior. Think about it. 
Till next time
Peace and Love
