Faceless money grabber



One of my new favorite albums.  I have a feeling I will be listening to this one for years.  Interesting note:  the band does not incorporate the guitar in their music because the lead singer is "sick of hearing it" in music.

A burden has been lifted.  I am faceless.  While I do feel somewhat disconnected, I also feel free.  Having it removed from my typical daily rounds has changed the way I internets.  Not that it felt like a burden to begin with, but it is just a different feeling.  I am not sure how long I will go faceless but I am enjoying the peace.

I recently heard someone say something along the lines of "All guys are dogs."  Hearing things like that drives me crazy.  I heard it again on the radio recently as well.  Women who have this mindset need to be burlap-sacked and thrown into a river.  Or sterilized.  I am not exactly sure what happened in their lives for them to pigeonhole every guy into this ridiculous stereotype, but it has no place in the world in my book.  If you really have such problem with men, then become a lesbian.  If you date someone with the mindset that they will cheat on you at any given time, there is no trust.  If there is no trust, there is no relationship.  Grow up.  Why even bother with men if you think you are putting yourself in a situation to be hurt.  One of two things: you are dumber than a brick or you love the drama and attention.

The funny thing is the girl who said it was actually guilty of cheating on her boyfriend herself.  Hypocrite... If I really have to think about it, I probably know more women who cheated than men.  Or at least an equal amount.  These females need to open the poppy eyes...  The world is full of cheaters and liars, both male and female.

Think about it statistically.  In some ways it is worse than racism.  Even if you stereotype all the Chinese people in the world, that's only 1 billion people out of more than 6 billion people on Earth.  If you stereotype all men, that is almost half of the human population.  More than 3 billion people.  Going back to the example, if you were to say "Chinese people can't drive," that would be suggesting all 1 billion Chinese knew how to drive to begin with.  That, of course, is not the case in the real world.  By saying "All guys cheat and are dogs," you are saying 3 billion males, regardless of age, sexual preference, etc., will cheat given the opportunity.   You are just tilting at windmills...

The only difference between the male and female cheaters is the way the situation is treated.  If you look at any media outlet, they typically stigmatize any man who is adulterous e.g. Jesse James, Tiger Woods, Jackie Chan, etc.  All of those stories were blown out of proportion forcing them to make numerous public apologies while tarnishing their images forever.  On the other side of the argument, women like LeAnn Rimes, Jennifer Lopez, Meg Ryan, and Princess Diana all admitted cheating on their spouses.  But how much attention did these stories get?  I even had to look up famous female celebrity cheaters to get that list!  That's how much the media spins "news".  Television shows like "Desperate Housewives" even go as far as glorifying female cheaters.  These characters are put on a pedestal instead of in front of a podium.  If the show were reversed (think Desperate Stay-At-Home-Husband), would the ratings be the same?  Would women find it offensive?  Probably.  Think about it...

Until next time,

I really like that song. I think I just like that it has a woodwind instrument in it and it has a "groovy" feel. And I'm not sure I even used that word right.. LOL


And dude, a majority of men are dogs and a majority of women are sluts. I don't discriminate, I distrust all of y'all.

'cept I don't think Jackie Chan's image is tarnished. Or at least I was surprised he was on that list. He seems like such a stand up guy.
