I Heart Men
I really do. I've realized that I'm as bad as a guy when it comes to ogling. Fortunately, it's mostly harmless. But I heart men.
Especially ones who are out working on something and are dirty with no shirt
Or one whose hair is just a little too long & probably needs a cut
Or those with devilish eyes
Or those in uniform--but not the dressy stuff. The work clothes, like this (and yes, I fully realize the hell that's coming for posting the Air Force and not the Navy--serves you right):
I like men who can drink and not seem drunk. I especially like men who can drink whiskey and not be sloppy.
I think it's sexy when men are together and laughing and having a good time
I like soccer players, even though they're mostly primadonnas
A man and his dog is very sexy
Men riding bulls in a rodeo are verrry sexy, especially if they have black hats
I like men who smoke cigarettes and know how to light them
I think it's sexy when men light women's cigarettes
Men who think big thoughts are sexy.
I like men with good aim.
I love a hard-boiled detective.

You know that sadly, Prince has gotten sucked into the dubs?
Yes. I even mocked it here.
I read somewhere that it was a deathbed conversion for his mother's sake. Whatever. He sure gets away with a whole lot more than any other cult member would. I mean, strip clubs? Divorce? Inciting young women to work up a black sweat??
Incidentally brunnhilde, what's the first initial of the town you're from, if you don't mind my asking?
Just another of the rules being "bent" *snort*
I live in L in the Pacific NW. I gotta say, you're my hero. I'm at college at 36 and hope SOMEDAY to be teaching, like you. How long have you been out, anyway? And PLEASE keep writing the manifestos - helps me keep my perspective...
Bull riders are sexy because they're always young. Life expectancy for such douchebaggery is exceptionally low.
As for Prince, well... who could resist... :)
Brunnhilde: I've been out for what will be 11 years this June. It hurts my heart at how many people seem to need the strength of another's example to keep on going after this cult. The JW's make you think that df'd people turn to ash or something after they're kicked out. I was always too afraid to look for other examples, and people who weren't in the cult just didn't "get" it.
Keep pursuing the education. What field are you in, if I can ask? I have learned far more from the journey than the destination. I'm not at all in an "ideal" job for teaching, but I've learned to find the satisifaction in it. And I have spent enough time with myself to know the kind of life I want.
I think besides the crime of keeping us away from education, I think one of the biggest faults of that organization is the way it takes away your own self-reflection and puts it onto a bi-polar entity that only speaks through its henchmen. You're not encouraged to make anything of this life except as an example to others.
Who cares if we're older when we're teachers? It's the attainment of something along the way that matters. It's the living out of what is important to you. While I'd love to be a "rock star" professor at some big university, I'm happy just being able to help people find a way to connect with the material and the greater world around them. I get that now in graduate school. So I focus on that, not the future that I have little control over.
I've got another installment of craziness, or "manifesto" if you prefer, coming up. :D
Undesirable Element: Bullriders are sexy because it's a hunk of beef riding a side of beef. Period. :D
Meat riding meat? Now your'e speaking my kind of language, DV.
I agree wholeheartedly that the dubs program you so completely to believe that leaving the dubs is like condemning yourself to life as trash, as a loser who will never have their life together. Obviously they have to do that, otherwise people would be streaming AWAY instead of streaming "to the mountain of stupidity."
I'm majoring in the humanities; I love english literature and fell in love with sociology when I took an intro class a couple semesters ago. Ironically the sociology class was being taught by a former dub, snort.
I struggle a lot with believing I'm good enough and smart enough to keep up in school. I was so completely unsuited to life as a dub I'm not exactly used to being successful, though I'm doing very well in uni and am SO happy. I look goofy I grin so much while I'm in class.
I can't wait for the next manifesto!! Let the REAL truth sound!
Whoo-hoo! Another Humanities person!!
You know, it just clicked for me when I was reading your comment, but I've always had that same educational tic. I did well in school, both in highschool and in college, and I'm doing well in graduate school, especially compared to the amount of other work I do compared to the other people in my program. But I've always felt like I didn't or couldn't know enough, and I struggled to stop feeling like I was everyone else's intellectual inferior.
I never thought about it before, but quite possibly that's the result of years worth of inculcation that we can never "figure it out" for ourselves--that we need some Brooklyn Lawyer to tell us how it really works. And that we could never come into knowledge without having someone else translate it for us.
Hmmmm.......
Contemplator--sorry, I'm logged into my kids' blog, and if I change it'll wipe out my comment!!
You do seem to like dashing men, but do you like dashing dogs?
