b132 (4.11-1.2026): eating o'er the sink

eating o’er the sink
by men
 
eating o’er the sink
it’s who wIe are, as men
when we are out/about we will protect, provide, defend
 
when we are home (alone) we do exactly what you think
it’s who wIe are, as men (again) we’re:
eating o’er the sink

·       when you really think about it, eating over the sink makes a lot of sense (at times).

b126 (7.6-1.2025): are [most] women crazy?

are (most) women crazy?
by c. razed
 
are (most) women crazy?
could it be man-or-pause?
could it be (future, hazy)?
are (most) men the cause?
____________________
 
·        i’d say that (most) women are crazy, and that (most) men are the cause.
 
but… relation-ships are not (yet) a lost cause.

b116 (12.13-1.2023): relationships 101

relationships 101 [i]

let’s do this together
sure (it will be fun)
maybe we can tether
 
relationships 101
_________________________________________
 
·       when relationship “experts” talk about relationships, they often assume erroneously.  one major error is to assume that the ultimate relationship-goal is marriage.

·       when i talk about relationships, i assume that the man or woman wants to be happy.

·       in a survival-thrival world, here’s what that means:
   o   her happiness adds to her story (herstory) when she is more secure.  her security, however, can be bipolar:
          1.     part of her wants the best Alpha seed (usually a bad-boy Alpha who can get his share of women), and (simultaneously)…
          2.     part of her wants the best provider (usually a well-behaved beta).
          3.     if she gets #1, she tries to turn him into a #2.  when she gets #2, she still wants to mate with #1.

   o   his happiness (his-story) is that he wants to spread his seed, far and wide, with the best and hottest babes (hb). 
          1.     he gets tricked-into “settling” for his “one” (by the bait of easier, more available mating/sex), but then realizes that (with her competition anxiety gone) she isn’t into the passionate type of sex that she courted him with.  (note that courted should probably be spelled caught-ed. 😊)
          2.     he ends-up miserable, as society’s laws promote and protect the bait-and-switch, and there is nothing he can do about it (without increased short-term and long-term misery).
          3.     worse yet (if he’s been tricked-into kid responsibilities), he is done
 
one of the best possible courses of action (for her) is a bipolar marriage arrangement, with a beta provider and an Alpha mate (or two). 
 
marriage (commitment, cohabitation), of course, is the worst possible option for his-story, unless he were to somehow marry-up… with the option of multiple hot girlfriends on the side.
 
while neither of the above courses of action are (overtly) accepted in society, hers is accepted universally (aka: “my needs weren’t getting met by my beta”).  society’s story is that he, if he is anything less than the loyal, providing, plow-horse dad… he fails.
 
men: don’t commit to a life of misery.  
ladies: use what you’ve got (ahem) to get him to commit to a life of misery.

b88 (3.2-2.2020): maybe we're all just tin men

maybe we’re all tin men [1]         
by t. inman

maybe we’re all tin men
shameless in our dance
praying, hoping, yearning for some love (or sweet romance)
maybe we’re all tin men
needy at our base
hoping someone out there can find something here (erase)
_______________________________ 
  •  the human ego (f.s.o.s.s*) constantly seeks to survive and thrive.
  •  survival occurs when he can show (to himself) that he is separate.
  •   thrival occurs when he can experience more than just survival.  he makes quid-pro-quo agreements (with other egos) to further prove his self-ness.
    separation <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Union
  • the connections that are formed approach Union, a forbidden-fruit that ego cannot not desire, while (simultaneously) re-cognizing that Union means death (to the sense of separate self).  that is exactly what is so poetic about it.
one goes through life, Une-i-fying, when one could simply sit and experience his/her connection. 

the idea of namaste’ (or love, or marriage, or partnership, or teamwork-cooperation-coordination, etc.) allows one to dance in the symphony of connection – even as ego cannot permit 100% Une -- in this, the relative-world universe.
