Sexually Liberated or Dirty Whore?

Friend One: "If you are such a fan of sexual liberation how can you call her a cunty dirty whore? What is the difference between a whore and a sexually empowered woman?"

Here is my answer:

It has nothing to do with numbers or looks. It is about understanding the value of yourself.

One of them knows the cost of what they give. The value of the item is traded between two people who understand its cost and rewards. Sexual liberation is willful. It is personally intentional. It is done with your eyes open aware of the cost and risks and pleasures. It is done on your own terms with willing participants. It is brutally honest.

Whores do not do know the value of that which they trade. One cent or a billion dollars. They are at the mercy of other peoples will. Their own desire and passions spit on in an open market place. What they have is taken and never traded for. It is gained through passive self deception.

I know this because in my life I have been a whore and have learned to understand my value in the market place. That learning damaged a lot of lives my own included but I would not trade anything for the way I feel right now.

Not Top Chef - Tuna Helper Chocolate Milk Substitute (Final)

I learned a simple lesson last night when you have been drinking and you are hungry and out of milk DO NOT try to substitute Hersey's white chocolate milk for regular milk in your tuna helper recipe.

I know it is white and looks a lot like regular milk but mixed with Tuna and slightly burned it seems to leave a scent that will forever linger in your wall paper and nostrils creating a kind of permanent scratch and sniff card in your house that would come in handy if you needed to induce vomiting in the case of an acute poisoning.

Acute poisoning ironically caused by eating tuna helper mixed with chocolate milk.

Giant Bobbing Boobies and Quiet Jogging Trails

There is this woman who happens to jog along the busy through-way that I take to work every morning. You can't help to notice her for the reason that this tittle implies. Out there every morning in nice weather same time. What I notice most is the scowl that she wears on her face as she is obviously not happy about the attention she is getting.

But then why dress skimpy and jog on a busy street?

Well I had the chance to ask her.

Sitting at Tailgate last night I was trying to think where I knew the girl sitting next to me from....

Yes, they were one and the same. After talking for the good part of the night I asked her about her jogging location preference and was as a guy a little shocked at the answer because it is something that escapes my mental conditioning.

"I don't jog around the lake in the morning because it is too quiet and I have had some scary encounters with strange men slowly following me in vans and hanging out in remote places, so if I want to jog outside in the morning I do it where it is busy and everyone can see me for safety reasons."

I guess as a guy I never really think about my safety so it kind of took me back.

Here I would have thought it was for attention but she showed me an entire different view point.

Must suck to have giant bobbing boobies and not be able to use the quiet jogging trails in the morning.

Grills, Teeth, Confidence Indicators and New Friends

I wonder if there is anyone who is so confident that they actually go the other way and create an invisaline to mess their teeth up. Maybe gaps or cultivated buck teeth will be the new trends in the body modification movement. Rusty Crusty Jagged Grills.

I work with a man who is forty years old who just got metal braces...I didn't even know they still made those?? I am all for improving yourself but I just can not take him seriously. He looks ridiculous.

After a few comments like..

"Can someone give me input who doesn't look like a 13 year old with metal braces"

or

"Who designed your grill? Is that a Nelly original?"

I realized that he is supremely confident in himself, marches to his own drum, is taking the action to improve himself, doesn't care what other people think and was extremely witty with his come backs. Everything I admire in a person. I took him out after work and bought him and his braces a drink.

Why Do We Hold Hands?

I am guessing that it is a sign of possession and control in public. I mean you don't hold hands when you are at home and no one is around do you?

A way to say we are together when you have bad breath and kissing is just out of the question. A way to pull someone along in life usually a sign that there is control issues in the walkway of the relationship. The don't walk sign visible to everyone but you. But sometimes don't we just hold hands cause we like to? Cause you want to show off the human piece of jewelry on the end of your arm?

I used to be a hand holder until I realized why I was doing it. (Mostly to show the outside world we are together either in a feeling insecure way or a bragging look what I way)

Now when people try I sweat and pull away and people say I have commitment issues...

Yet by not holding hands now I feel more secure and deeper in relationships in a healther way for better reasons...weird huh?

Which Genre Am I?

My life is a tragedy really the only doubt I have is what exactly my tragic flaw, moral weakness or inability is.

Tragedy
1: A drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances.

I wish it was a comedy.

Comedy
1: A dramatic work that is light and often humorous or satirical in tone and that usually contains a happy resolution of the thematic conflict.

I wish I would stop making it a travesty

Travesty
1: An exaggerated or grotesque imitation, such as a parody of a literary work
2:A debased or grotesque likeness: a travesty of justice.

And just be happy with me....

Therefore, I think I am going to create my own genre.

I am going to call it Self Reflected Realism it is part porn, part tragedy, part comedy, I am going to leave the imitation and drama to others who do it better.

I am excited not only for the happy ending of this one but also the multiple climaxes.
