They ought to either make it a lot...NASCAR is dumb. They ought to either make it a lot easier to pass each other, or they ought to allow offensive weapons. Because now all they can do is line up and drive around in circles waiting for the dood in front of them to fuck up. I'm sure it's interesting for the drivers, but the spectators are reduced to drinking horrific American Lager and imploring passersby to "show us your tits!". It's a cautionary tale.<br /><br />I've never seen any of the movies you reference, but I'm completely familiar with the syndrome. We always find someone to identify with in movies and teevee shows (which is why I simultaneously LOVE "Unforgiven" and find it virtually unwatchable), and we can identify just as easily with that character's best features as his worst.<br /><br />Sometimes, though, it can be a learning experience, helping us to see past our own image to what we actually aspire to be, and what we actually believe ourselves to have become.<br /><br />On the whole, I'd advise you to approach the whole concept of a "real man" with both caution and skepticism. First, all those little doses of reality when you first start spending extended periods of time together, the flatulence, the incoherence, the lack of common sense, the impulsive and self destructive behaviors...People are just easier to get along with when you don't have to try to get along with them. I mean, all your missing is the sex and some late night conversation, and hell, that's what the internet is for...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441858287783096325.post-8633181310799049182011-06-29T10:58:56.259-05:002011-06-29T10:58:56.259-05:00You don't love NASCAR, Jennifer???

Fir...Lovely post, Vonnie... full of lots of truth.<br /><br />First of all... Jake Ryan. DEAR. LORD. Jake Ryan was even too much for the actor who played Jake Ryan. He couldn't even live up to Jake Ryan, so he left it all to do woodworking, which somehow makes him even more awesome than Jake Ryan... he's a real man.<br /><br />Yes, give a real man a chance. They're worth it. And you might be surprised to find that while not Blane, Jake, Keith or Jordan, they do have moments of them, but better yet?? They're real!! :) And... they often put up with real women... who are full of their own craziness. :)<br /><br />Wishing you nothing but love and reality.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231744174759800033noreply@blogger.com
