The monster is your agenda

After watching this perverse video by Verizon with my 14yr old daughter her words summed it up best. "Daddy this is the most sexist thing I have ever seen". I always knew I had a clear thinking, intelligent young woman in my midst.

Shrodinger`s Rapist is a Sexist

I was out for a walk the other evening and as I was fast approaching an elderly woman I realized that she might be scared of me. So just before I came near her I coughed to announce my coming. Here is what transpired.

Me: I hope I didnt startle you.

Her: Oh, dont worry young man I saw you coming a while back.

Me: Well Im glad I didnt scare you.

Her: Why would you scare me

Me: Well I thought you might think Im a rapist and I could hurt you.

Her: I can take care of myself. By the way, how do you know whether or not I have a gun in my bag.

Me: Hmm, I dont, but lets be real, Im much bigger than you and I could probably easily overpower you and take the gun away.

Her: My, my that is quite the pocket full of assumptions you have. Chuck Norris thought the same thing of me back in the seventies. It wasnt until he ended up on his back at Bruce`s club that he learned differently.

Me: You fought Chuck Norris at Bruce Lee`s club.

Her: Sure did, havnt you ever heard of Jeet Kune Do

Me: Of course I have, how old are you

Her: Didnt your mama ever tell you its not polite to ask a woman her age. Now open that door for me sonny.

Me: Yes Mam.

Calling all Male Feminists!

Which man are you, and how can you be sure?

Four words that make my heart skip a beat.

I've got your back................

Thanks Babe, Ive got yours too.

Hot wife, some things never change................

I had the opportunity to go to a high school reunion recently. It had been almost 30yrs since I had seen the bulk of these people. Obviously many of us have changed, well, physically at least. When I graduated I was a whopping 130lbs. Needless to say I wasnt a chick magnet back then. In fact I dont really remember having a real steady girlfriend during those years. I did though have a crush on a girl for a couple of those years. She danced with me once at one of the school functions and I was hooked. Unfortunately she wasnt, so for the remaining time I pined away hoping she would have a change of heart, that did not happen. So here I am 30yrs later hoping I would bump into her again. She wasnt quite what I remembered but I still wanted her to meet my "hot" wife. I guess I figured if I could show my wife off it would redeem me in some sense. Funny how some of our dysfunctions never leave us. So, the big moment arrives and I see here in line waiting to get a beer. I look and around and wifee is nowhere to be seen, Im going to have to go it alone. "Hi, remember me?" She replies, "yes". Oh, I now revert back to my teenage self, "I guess I will talk to you later" and proceed to walk away. I am now frantically looking for wifee to back me up and then I start to laugh. Holy shit, youre still a loser. Regardless of what you have, some things just

never change unless you change them. I will be booking an appointment with my therapist this week. :)

Under your bed...........

I remember my youth and the stories you would hear about the "monsters under your bed". Of course we grew to realize it was just a way to tease or keep children fearful. It seems the idea lives on even in some adults. Most people dont get assaulted or raped but you regularly hear feminists talk about the fear of walking down the streets. When I hear this I wonder how many have actually been raped or assaulted, I wonder how many have known the real sting of pain? The truth is, it seems more like a political stance for certain individuals to bring attention to their causes. This post is born of frustration of all these people who dont know shit. Woman or man, this is a post to all of you out here who know some of the monsters are REAL .

Game face: What do you present?

The power of a look is sometimes terrifying. In certain instances this is exactly what is hoped for. As I watch this video I am awe struck by its power. The intent of the one team is evident on the faces of both. Intimidation, fear, dominance is all there for us to see. I remember back when I was young and I knew that if I could create a certain 'look' that I may be able to keep certain individuals from hurting me. You see, most times fights are either won or lost way before anyone throws a punch. If you instill a certain unease or doubt in your opponent you may not even have to fight. This was a craft I came to perfect. The problem is, when developing such a strategy it is not so easy to turn on and off as needed, so I found myself being asked on many occasions, why are you so angry? The reality was in stressful or tense situations I subconsciously put on my game face, even though it was not called for. This talent/curse has been the bane of my adult life and I hope to one day get it under control. I dont doubt that sometimes it is needed, I just want to be able to determine when I put it on.

Road rage and Internet anonymity

I have noticed some similarities between anonymous posters on blog sites and people who exhibit aggressive behaviour while driving. For whatever reason, it seems these people act in ways they typically wouldnt if they were face to face with you. I think the reasoning behind it is similar to that of drivers in that they have this protective shield around them. How many times have we watched people swerve, give the finger, roll down their window and swear at their fellow highway travellers. Most times its based on some small infraction that may or may not have even been intentional. I think we should all try to remember, like beginner drivers, not all bloggers have the same skills. I question whether these individuals would act this way if they left their real names when posting or if they were walking behind you instead of driving. I think the answer for most is pretty obvious.

Domestic Violence: Equality and justice for all or something like that.

WARNING
Contains non politically correct material




Ok everyone, take a DEEP BREATH……………
Gallows humour it seems, is for people who when presented with enough pain and suffering need to just laugh about it. I think I reached this point after one week discussing domestic violence on Feminist and MRA sites. During this time I have been taught that patriarchy and feminism aren’t really about sex or gender but are a way of thinking or a form of system, really? I have been called Mangina(minus the multiple orgasms), a sexist ignorant pig troll, misogynist,feminist and a host of other lovely things. I even got banned from an MRA site(hmm, maybe those guys really did get beat by a woman). All this talk got me thinking about shelters and the need to protect everyone. I know that Feminists have worked hard at getting the government to implement these facilities for women. It seems now that MRA's feel the need for men also. I decided to put together a list for all of us. Afterall if any of us have suffered abuse dont we all need protection too?

Domestic Violence Shelters list for:

1. HETEROSEXUAL WOMEN: Heterosexual men need not apply as you are the reason we are here in the first place. Homosexual women are welcome if you are comfortable with us being that we are women. Homosexual men, sorry, you scare us too, afterall you are a man.

2. HETEROSEXUAL MEN: Heterosexual Women need not apply as they are the reason we are here in the first place. Homosexual men are welcome if you are comfortable with us being that we are men. Homesexual women, sorry, you scare us too, afterall you are a woman. On second thought, homosexual men, you kind of freak us out too.

3. HOMOSEXUAL MEN: Homosexual Men need not apply as they are the reason we are here in the first place. Homosexual women are welcome. Heterosexual women are welcome if you are comfortable with us being that we are men. Heterosexual men, sorry, you scare us too, afterall you are a man.

4. HOMOSEXUAL WOMEN: Homosexual women need not apply as they are the reason we're here in the first place. Homosexual men are welcome. Heterosexual men are welcome if you are comfortable with us being that we are women. Heterosexual women, sorry, you scare us too, afterall you are a woman.


Just as I was finishing my list I heard my barefoot pregnant wife yell from the kitchen, “Honey, dont forget the Transexuals and Transgender people.” Ouch, my brain hurts.

Anger: My friend and foe, My shield and spear?

I think back to the days when life was supposed to be free and easy. The time when innocence was sweet and gentle. That time was so long ago that it eludes my memory. Many of my early memories shattered that innocence. Fear, intimidation, violence shaped much of my world. This was a time when the people I would look to for protection, were either eerily silent or they were the perpetrators of my nightmares. I cant remember the exact moment my friend arrived but I do remember the feeling of strength that he imparted on me. He was a blessing I prayed deeply for. Someone to protect me from the big bad world. He supplied the courage to endure the pain and not crumble under its oppressive weight. In the beginning he made me high with confidence and it let me feel that I could take on all(almost) my enemies. For a time my life was made right. No longer would I be the victim, his support had made me impregnable. He was my Friend and shield. There were glimpses of the other side of his personality which confused me though. I recall the time when I lashed out at others who I deemed inferior. I was able to reconcile this because I had now become more popular. I seemed to have the respect I had so long desired. People were no longer picking on me, they actually liked me, or so I thought. It took some time but eventually the people who liked me before my friend had come along, no longer wanted any part of me. They seemed truly nervous or scared to associate with me. Again, I was able to ignore the signs that my new found friend may actually be a foe. Daily we worked together, me on the physical and he on the mental. I was sharpening my skills as a fighter and rather than just using them for defense I now initiated more contact. I was a spear, powerful, deadly. I exacted revenge on individuals from the past and shared my new found power with some new people. It has been many years since my friend entered my life, though he is still here we rarely hang out anymore and when we do it is usually on our own time. I now hang out with some new friends. :)

I listened to this on the way home today and thought it was appropriate for the post. Enjoy.

Can equality and pro choice(as used today) coexist?

Scenario #1

A husband and wife planned to have a baby together. Fortunately for them they got pregnant quickly. At each stage they shared the experience, though the husband could not imagine what it was like having life form in his belly. He did envy(slightly) his wife for this experience. They watched intently the ultrasound, together they counted the fingers and toes. After finding out the sex of the baby they came up with a name that both loved. Soon after this the husband became distant, he seemed disconnected. No longer did he want to hear about his future child. When the wife confronted him he explained why he was distant. Over the last several weeks he began seeing someone else. He no longer wished to have this child. He had a new love in his life and had no room for children. He asked his wife for a divorce and for her to abort the fetus.

Questions:

1. Does he have a right to make her abort her child?
2. Should he be held accountable for financial support after the child is born?

Love is not a feeling but an Action!

I remember the feeling, the sweaty palms, my heart racing, goosebumps. It felt right, so I said it, "I love you". How many times I jumped the gun. Rather than see how this person would treat me I raced to the conclusion that I loved them based on these feelings. There have been several who were special in my life but as the Years have passed and much water under the bridge, I have come to realize what love really is. I have watched my wife stand by me when I am down. I have watched her tirelessly working to ensure our family is taken care of. She is strong when I need and gentle and loving for us all. Her dedication and support inspires me to be a better man. I am still learning what love really is but I now know what it isnt. I truly hope my children experience the thrill of connection and many times I still get giddy when I am with my wife but LOVE is what we do, not what we feel.

Happy Valentines Day
for the love of my life

When the wife is right!

Some days you need a reminder of what you believe. Thanks for the reminder Honey! Pretty fun vid to look back on.

Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
You get nothin' for nothin', expect it when
You're back seat drivin' and your hands ain't on the wheel
It's easy to go along with the crowd
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missin'

So I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall

You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin'
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together

And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall

Makin' a curve or takin' the strain
On the decline, or out on the wane
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm that's comin' at 'tcha

And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall

Thank God the apple fell very far from the Tree.............

A big congrats to my beautiful daughter for being accepted into a International Baccalaureate Program at Colonel By highschool. You are AWESOME. Kisses from dad.

Im usually an optimist..................

Some weeks are better than others......




Though its not quite as bad as this vid. SMILE.

Headache Remedy

I was dumbfounded by a recent comment by my WONDERFUL wife. She suggested a little bit of loving for me, but then the truth came out. "I think it will help me with my headache, she quipped". Headache? headache? Let me tell you about a headache!! This got me thinking, would a guy ever be able to get away with this self serving comment? "Honey, I think Im prepared to give you a little loving because I believe it might help my headache". No way, no how is that going to get you past first base. Now, dont get me wrong, its not like Im going to pass up on the opportunity, but really.
Honey, do you need anymore help with your headache?

Narco Terrorists/Collateral Damage

After years of Narco Terrorism, causing death and despair, the Canadian military, with the help of the Mexican military, has decided to rid the world of this scourge. Pinning the terrorists in small communities along the Mexican/American border the two armies move in for the kill. Unfortunately, with the help of corrupt individuals on both sides of the border, the terrorists flee to safe haven in towns on the American side. With the help of informants the powerful Canadian military locates the exact positions of the Narco Terrorists. Though they are now in a sovereign nation the Political and Military influence exerted by the Canadians demands that the Americans allow controlled air strikes within their borders. As the information has been relayed to the Canadian military it releases unmanned, remote controlled drones to bomb these targets. Even though many of the terrorists are killed there is an unfortunate by product of these attacks. Dozens if not hundreds of innocent civilians are maimed or killed. The Canadian government acknowledges these as an unfortunate circumstance but they stand by their actions. Afterall, Narco Terrorism needs to be dealt with regardless of the potential cost. Back in Canada on the nightly news hundreds of young angry Christian Americans burn Canadian flags and shout death to the Canadians. Canadian citizens are confused as to why their "Allies" would do such a thing.
