O.M.G....it's working!  I'm still here.  Still alive!  But who will read it?  "Who cares", I suppose should be my answer.  Except it's not.  I care...I care who reads my blabbering, my yammering, my incessant constant stream of words!!! 

Anyone there?

If not, it's okay, matter of fact, maybe it's better that way!!!  Perhaps it's easier and better that I get reacquainted in the blog world simply by myself.  Just wanting to dip my tow in any way! 

Okay, going to hit 'publish' for the 2nd time today!  Here goes.....

Boys will be boys

I'm just toying with this concept here....A friend of mine's adult daughter recently asked me to be her 'friend' on one of the very popular goofy social networks that are out there these days, the ones designed to 'create life' for those of us who think we haven't one, or possibly simply to suck our time away. Anyway, I 'accepted' her into my private, social internet family--no problem. She then began to rant about men!! It sounds like she's been recently hurt, or at least scathed by a break up of some kind, so she indulged in theorizing what was really behind the event. I threw in some thoughts here and there, mostly expressing things like, 'they really are simpletons, they need a women, some good work, food, and sleep and they are happy!!! Not that hard!' But she went on about 'immodest women are the reason that we live in a culture of uncommitted men', blah, blah, blah. Huh???? Are ya kiddin' me????? Honey, your twenty-something is showing here!!! I told her, in an un-scolding like fashion, that she is giving WAY too much power to 'immodest women'. MEN are not uncommitted because of women, MEN ARE UNCOMMITTED BECAUSE OF MEN! Don't blame me for their lack of committment, blame their immaturity, their testosterone, their restlessness (from the testosterone), their over active fantasty world (again, the testosterone thing here) but don't blame women!! OMIGOSH, does she really think that the same boys who turn bananas into guns when mom won't let them play with toy guns are any different when they grow up and ogle women who are dressed in everything between anything and nothing at all!!!! This antiquated thought reminds me of the rule at the private Christian college that goes something like this: 'There shall be no female allowed outside with wet hair' because it 'may tempt a male to think about her in the shower'!!!!!!!!!! And we all know boys would ONLY think about girls in the shower if their hair is a bit damp!!! HELLO!!! Is it REALLY womens fault that there seems to be an heir of uncommitted men in our culture?? How about the fact that some men just don't want to be 'tied down' yet? We've been hearing that line o' crap for centuries! Could it be that young men still have 'wild oats' so sow--again my late forty-something is showing here, but could it also be that she is just viewing ALL men via her glasses that are smudged by her broken heart? I know LOTS of men who seem to be fully committed to their wives, families, and homes. Maybe it's just a timing issue, maybe it's just this, that or the other thing, but whatever it may be, PLEASE DON'T PLACE ALL THE BLAME OF MEN'S ACTIONS DIRECTLY UPON WOMEN'S SHOULDERS!!! Blame men for men's actions. Now get out there and take off that old victorian corset and show some leg!!!!!

I'm simply checking this blog account to see if it's still up and running....seems that it is!  Wow.  Amazing.  Guess that's the power of cyberspace....it's permanent! 

It's been a few YEARS since I've posted.  Can't believe how fast time actually flies.

I will 'publish' this and see if it is, indeed, still working.

Until then,

Lisa
