The Return

Yes, believe it or not, I'm finally back! I'm sorry for the long hiatus, but now is where I return for good! So let's get going. This weeks blog is just going to be a observational one. Well i guess all of mine are, but this one has no specific subject. So here goes......Let me start by saying it's good to FINALLY be back! While I was gone, I heard a saying used a lot, and i want to talk a little bit about it. The saying is, "You're gonne be my guina pig." Honestly if someone said hat to me I'd be scared shitless. Why, you ask? Just think about it. Scientist use useless animals for experiments, like guina pigs. Now they use guina pigs because they're small insignificant, they have no soul, and they're probably going to die. So if someone calls you their "guina pig" RUN! Because they either find you useless, insignificant, but most likely you're going to die. Moving forward, my wife and i were talking earlier this week about what we married into. She made the comment that she's emotional, and i knew that when i married her. So it got me to thinking..what if the parents of the wife/groom had to write everything down thats bad about the person you're marrying before you got married. like you go up to get you're marriage license, and before you sign the marriage application you had to read everything that you're parents don't like about you. But, they also would have to write everything down that's good about you too. For example, Johnny and Sara go up to get a marriage application, and Johnny reads that Sara snores in her sleep, chews with her mouth open, sucks at doing dishes, and hates little kids. And Sara discovers that Johnny wets the bed....still, has never cleaned his room, can't cook, and kissed his cousin when he was 13. Do you think they'd see eachother in the same light? I don't think so, but it would definitley cut down on divorces.......maybe! Either way, if my wife knew all the things i sucked at before we got married she probably would've thought twice about marriage. But the good thing about not knowing about the little things that drive you nuts is when you do discover them you can either ignore them or embrace them. Most people ignore them.....i know i TRY to, but sometimes they're just too overwhelming. So my question this week is; Couples who use marriage as an experiment to try and better a failing relationship, What's that all about?

Too Much Pressure?

Today I was thinking a lot about my past, and it got me on the subject of peer pressure. Now I can't say that I was subject to peer pressure, but I do know of a lot of people that were. What am I talking about? We're all subject to peer pressure. From learning how to talk, to eating foods we don't want to. Peer pressure start from your family, and proceeds to the culture around you. I remember when I was 6, and I had to wear this gray sweat outfit for a play. I begged my dad to not let me wear it, but all he said was, "why not, everyone else is wearing it." So I found comfort in the thought of wearing the outfit. Now take that same concept, and replace the outfit with drugs or cigarettes. Same concept right? As long as I can find solace in the fact that my friends are doing it makes it ok? No, it doesn't. Now, there's a thin line between peer pressure and encouragement. That thin line is fear. The fear of failure. See, we all have this voice inside our head telling us if something is right or wrong. Is peer pressure the encouragement to try something bad? Is encouragement the peer pressure to try something good? Either way you perceive it, both can be taken in a negative way. Both have the common characteristic of fear. My dad knew that I was afraid of wearing the outfit because I looked bad in it. He encouraged me to break me past the barrier of fear. When I turned 18, all my friends tried to get me to smoke. Telling me that one puff wouldn't kill me. But just like with the outfit, I was filled with fear. The fear of going against my beliefs, and looking like a fool. So I said no, because I knew it was bad. Peer pressure and encouragement are separated by one thing.....you. Your perception on what's right and wrong. So my question tonight is............Smokers that look like death, that come up to me and say smoking makes you look cool.......What's That All About?

Where's The Party?

So if you know me, you know that I work out, and I couldn't help but notice something. We're gonna take a little time tonight to talk about the "gym scene." So working out tonight I noticed that a lot of bigger women were wearing shorts, and the smaller more fit girls were wearing pants. Now what happened along the evolutionary timeline to where this "flip" happened in the gym? Why is it now that the more fit women cover up a lot more, and the bigger ladies started to show off more? Maybe its just pure comfort? Maybe its just pure convenience? It takes a lot of courage to even step in a gym, let alone, work out in basically you're underwear. So I came to the conclusion that the bigger ladies wear less just to be cooler, but the more fit women put more clothes on to ward away the wandering eyes at the gym. But this is just an observation, so I hope I don't offend anybody. So I guess my question tonight is.....Bigger ladies who bring their cottage cheese to the gym, where there's clearly not a party......What's That All About?

Gender Assignments

So, for some reason today, I've came acrossed a lot of gender confusing conversations. So I believe its my duty to set up some sort of gender assignments. So there's a lot of confusion amongst both genders about mostly, body hair. So in this installment, we're gonna tackle the subject of gender-bending body hair. I, for one, hate body hair. I shave my chest, the top of my legs, and you know, the region around there. But I do have lower leg hair, and arm hair. Here are the gender assignmentss that need to be in place. Guys with no arm or leg hair....no! Girls with arm and leg hair.....hell no! Guys with facial hair, that's ok! Girls with facial hair....no! Guys with chest/ab/back hair, ok. Girls with back/stomach/chest hair, no! Now this just small realization about body hair I had today. I hope this helps a lot of men and women with their "confusion" about body hair. So all I have to ask is, girls with dark black arm hair........What's That All About?
