Best Post EVER!!!

Welcome to the greatest post in the history of all posts. Being negative about this crappy log didn't help me get any comments. Well begging probably wouldn't help either. One in the entire year. I guess I am just not thought provoking.

Miami Dolphins
Wow, they have signed so many coaches. They have spent so much money. They have the highest paid coaches in NFL history. I hope that equals wins. Looks like Patrick Surtain is going to be on another team next year. That is so sad. I am such a Surtain fan. Well it was bound to happen someday. Still it will be sad to see such an amazing defense be broken apart. They didn't win anything. It is going to be an interesting offseason.

Way of the Superior Man
The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida is an interesting book I have read. Here is part of the book taken from his website.

"Keeping your word" is a masculine trait, in men or women. A person with a feminine essence may not keep her word, yet it is not exactly "lying." In the feminine reality, words and facts take a second place to emotions and the shifting moods of relationship. When she says, "I hate you," or "I'll never move to Texas," or "I don't want to go to the movies," it is often more a reflection of a transient feeling-wave than a well considered stance with respect to events and experience. On the other hand, the masculine means what it says. A man's word is his honor. The feminine says what it feels. A woman's word is her true expression in the moment.
When you listen to your woman, listen to her as you would the ocean, or the wind in the leaves. The sounds you hear from her are sounds of the motion of her feeling-energy. Of course, there are times when she speaks in the masculine style of meaning exactly what she says, but more often, and almost always in emotional moments, what she says is the sound of her feelings. Her feminine speech is far more like poetry than like a clearcut agenda for action. In an emotional moment, what she says she is going to do is actually an expression of what she feels like doing in the moment. Her feelings, and therefore what she is actually going to do, could change in five minutes. It could change every five minutes.
Whenever you are surprised by your woman's actions, and you say to her, "But you said…," you are forgetting that she has a feminine essence. What your woman says is like a cloud passing in the sky: well-formed, coherent, and unrecognizable moments later. The cloud is an expression of the precise physics of water, wind, and air. Your woman's words are expressions of the physics of her feelings, your relationship, and the nuances of the present situation, seen and unseen. A moment later, these factors will change, and so will your woman's expressions.
You might ask her, "Do you want to go to the movies?"
She might reply, "Not really."
Then you hug her and spin her around and say, "Let's go to the movies!"
And she says, "Ok!"
She is not talking about her desire to go to the movies. She is talking about the feeling of your relationship in the present moment. If after she said she didn't want to go to the movies, you said fine and sat down to watch tv, you would be missing the point. She is not really saying she doesn't want to go to the movies, even though that is what she's saying.
This is not lying. For a man, or for anyone speaking in the masculine style, to say something that is not true is lying. But, for the feminine, truth is a thin concept compared to the thickness of her flow of feelings. The "truth" of the feminine is whatever she is really feeling, in this present moment.
So, when she says that she wants to move to Pittsburgh with you, and then, after you have sold the house, she says she doesn't want to move with you, don't start yelling, "But you said…!" When she first told you she wanted to move, she was feeling good about the relationship. When she then told you she doesn't want to move, she was feeling bad about the relationship. Instead of arguing about what she said or didn't say, establish love in the intimacy first.
The basic rule is this: Don't believe the literal content of what your woman says unless love is flowing deeply and fully in the moment when she says it. And even then, know that she is probably talking about her current feelings, not necessarily about the subject of whatever she is talking about. Never base your plans on what a woman says she wants to do, unless she is in the full flow of love when she says it. And then, expect her to change her mind at any moment when her feelings change. Remember that a woman's feelings may be more sensitive to an unseen realm of nature than are yours. Try to differentiate between your woman's shifting moods and her sensitive wisdom.
Women are not liars, although they often seem that way to men. This is why a man must ultimately be responsible for making his own decisions, based on the deepest truth he can fathom. Otherwise, if he bends his course of truth to compromise for his woman's current and changing expressions, he will probably end up blaming her.
You should hear what your woman has to say and feel her depth carefully. Then, after you have fully considered her input, make your best possible decision from your own deep core. This way, if your woman subsequently changes her mind, you won't resent her for compromising your path. Rather, you can enjoy her subtle sensitivity and changing emotional weather patterns. You can proceed with or modify your actions in full gear, knowing you are always making the best choice available to you, having taken her depth of wisdom--and her fluctuations of expression and mood--wholly into account.


Well if you take that you pretty much get what most of the book says. It does make a lot of sense and gave me plenty of things to think about. Especially on the above part taken from the book. I have noticed that femine women are a lot more emotional than men.

See this book is about teaching the men about dealing with the feminine and what exactly it takes to be a good man for the feminine. A lot of people are probably put off thinking this book is about how men are better than women. It isn't about that, it is about how a man can become a better man, especially to a feminine woman. One thing I have figured out in my life is the fact that I am really attracted to feminine women. I did not know but looking back a vast majority of the crushes I have had were on women that were very feminine. It would also explain why I do not find intelligence important at all. I don't want a complete fool, but a smart woman is generally more masculine. I also have found in my life the smarter the woman the increase of a chance that she is a bitch. I do not like bitches. Some men do, I like women nice. Well enough about me.

This book is mostly about the idea of sexual polarity. That for a good relationship, especially sexually, polarity is what is need. It is like a magnet, how north and north repel, so does the masculine and the masculine or the feminine and the feminine.

The book also states that during the 50s and so that men were all spine. Which caused a huge backlash in the feminine community causing the feminist movement. However the movement changed men so that they are all heart. That men today have forgotten how to be men. Which is a complaint you hear from women these days. David believes that men need to be a good combination of spine and heart. Not totally heartless like the men of the 50s and not totally spineless like the men of the 70s to today.

There are a lot of interesting ideas of this book. The idea that women do not like it if they are the center of your world. They enjoy it when they are important, but what really turns them on is when a man devotes his life to his passion whatever that may be. Which would explain why women love musicians, artists, and all other people who have passions.

It also states about the importance of quality time instead of quanity. That the feminine wants to feel important which is one of the reason she always interrupts football with her problems. She wants to feel she is more important than the TV, especially if your favorite show is on. However that also means she will bother you when you are trying to get your work done. The ultimate way around this is to set up sometime that is just for her and that will be enough to satisfy her.

Tom Leykis states that women are dream killers. That you shouldn't get into a relationship till you fufil your dreams. Well David explains this phenomenon in a different perspective. States that women are not exactly dream killers, but they test you and your dream over and over again. That almost women feel that it is their job to test their man to make sure he can handle the rigors of life. (I would also like to states that I am using man and women instead of feminine and masculine because it is shorter. David does state that this works for gay couples and relationships where the woman is masculine and the man is the feminine).

To go more into the idea of testing, it states that women tests men all of the time. Which is something I have noticed and find really annoying. It looks like since I am attracted to feminine women that it is something that I am just going to have to deal with. I remember my mom telling me a story of her testing my father to see if he would become physical with her, I thought it was horrible at the time. Now I know it is just what women do. Well the idea of testing is the woman wants to make sure that this man can handle life and support her. If she could break him down, how can the world not break him down? The story that David presents to illustrate this (just in case kids read this I am using bacon if you know what I mean), is this story about a man and a woman in the forest. Well there is a "pan" and the man and the woman start to make some bacon. The man is going through this buddist thing where he never finishes making the bacon and eats it kind of raw ("wink wink"). While making the bacon, she begs him finish the bacon, she wants her bacon nice and crispy ("wink wink"). Well the man gives into the woman and makes the bacon crispy ("wink wink"). Well this actually disappoints the woman as she was just testing him to see if he would stick to his guns and make it raw ("wink wink"). This of course makes women VERY confusing.

The excerpt(sp?) from the book was also something I found interesting. As a man when I say something generally it is what I mean. If I do not want to see a movie, I say I do not want to see it. If the woman changes my mind it is not because I want to see the movie, it is because I either want her to cook some bacon or to make her happy. While that part of the book suggests that the woman actually changes her mind depending on her mood. The freaky part about this being a man of course is that her mood changes from moment to moment. That is disturbing to me because I do not understand how women handle being so gosh darn emotional. I guess women do not under how men cannot be so emotional. That is something I have always believe was a problem with the sexes. Women like to think that men think like them and men like to think women think like men. We do not think alike.

Another thing that I got from it is that to not lie to the woman that you are in a serious relationship with. That women are very much into trust. That if she asks you to clean the garage and you say you are going to clean the garage, you better clean the garage. It is not the action that is important to her, it is the fact that you said you were going to do it and you did not do it. This puts doubt in her mind to even make her think that you might be cheating on her. If you lied about cleaning the garage, maybe you lied that you were last night. Even though me as the man would think, it is just the freaking garage, it can wait till tomorrow.

The book also states things about being a man. Like following your dreams and putting them as the number one priority in your life. That as a man I should be living on the edge so I can be successful.

There is one thing I totally disagree with 100%. It states that I should always eat my bacon raw ("wink wink"). That if I make my bacon crispy ("wink wink") that the woman feels like she can control your ability to make bacon("I know I am streaching it"). That actually makes it so actually loses respect for you and you deminish yourself as a man. That you lose part of your edge if you eat crispy bacon ("wink wink"). He even suggests recipies and techniques to make it so your bacon can be raw ("wink wink") and you still be satisfied. I just cannot think this is good. For one I like my bacon crispy. The other thing is that I have read that eating crispy bacon at least 3 times a week reduces prostate cancer 30%.

So there is my review of The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. Basically I thought it was an interesting book that gave me a lot of different perspectives about men and women and the relationships that forge between them. One thing I do believe in life is that you need to get many perspectives in life. There is nothing I lose respect for is a person who just discounts an idea with out truely thinking about it and exploring it. So before you discount this as mumbo jumbo gobblity gook, or female bashing *shakes head*, give it a try. It might just help you out in your relationships.

Scrubs
One more thing. Scrubs is the greatest show on TV. It is so funny. It makes me laugh out loud as many times as Titus did. Man do I mis Titus. It seems like all my favorite shows get cancelled. I hope Scrubs never gets cancelled, because it is so funny. It is on Tuesday at 9. Really it should be on thursday at 9 and the highest rated sitcom because to me it is that freaking funny. I don't see how anyone cannot like this show.

Random Thought of the Day
Isn't it funny how Futurama is just as funny the 12th time as it was the first.

"I will build my own theme park with hookers and black jack" -Bender

Feel the wrath of losing interest in writing these feel the wrath statements. There are only so many colors. So I guess this one will be blue.
