You know, now days, if you are a White, American, Straight, Male, you are on everybody’s chit list.  Back in my early days, Dad was King, not because he was a male or the Father, he earned that respect by supporting and taking care of his family. When dad needed his quit time, it was respected with no discussion, he had first choice, even if he did take it.  It was about Honor, Respect, Courtesy and Loyalty to the bread winner.   Now of days, the man is just another back. For a long time I have been noticing on TV commercials how they belittle and degrade males in general, most of the time, they being depicted as backwards, mindless, buffoon like Neanderthals. As the women on the most part, are displayed as being in a fantasy like, graceful, euphoric state, eating, candy, ice-cream or yogurt in an orgasmic trance.  Now days if you are a WASM it is wrong to be yourself and have self expression, such as venting your anger or frustrations, because then you are considered a raciest, bigoted, prejudice law breaking male, because you have your own opinions.  One thing about males I noticed is we have short term memories!!!  I don’t mean, do I remember elementary school and so on, I mean in terms of being confronted with issues between each other and people in general.  We have disagreements and get pissed and sometimes get angered, but in the most part it dissipates and swings back into a corporative harmony.  Think back as a kid, how many kids that you got in to a fight with, but in the end and in some cases over time, became friends eventually.  I believe that is due to our short term memories.
Now women have long term memories and generally don’t forget anything, even though they don’t admit it. How many times did your lady say to the effect, “Remember the time you pulled your hand away” or something to that effect, your response may be something like “What the hell you talking about!!!!” Well we men don’t remember because we just move on, “But they do Remember”.  Some may see this as a bad thing, myself, I see it as a primal instinct, and is really a good thing in all truthfulness.  I guess if you are a screw off or always pull some crap, probably not a good thing for you. But if you are being a straight arrow, it can be good.  Got to keep one thing in mind though about women, most women expect a certain standard, and if you are not providing it, they will pull the plug on you and move on to another nest. Like Aerosmith says this line, something like this in one of their songs, “They are back on the street and not skip a beat”. I believe it to be accurate observation or experience.
Something else, women tend to trust me and tell me their thoughts and their secrets. Some time back, a couple of women said to me on different occasions, and it didn’t make sense to me then, but I always remembered it. What they told me, was about their man was hanging out with their buddies allot, and it concerned the ladies. They said, “They wish their boy friend/husband were messing around with another woman, because they could compete with that, because they cannot compete with their mates buddies”.  So the bottom line is, that in some cases the buddies are a threat to the wives and girlfriends.  So maybe that is why women are attracted to gay men’s friendship, because they are not a threat to them.  I feel the bottom line is that, men and woman’s behavior is a primal instinct for survival, to some it may be a bad thing, but to most it is a good thing and deserves total respect to each other.  Now far as women of today I stay clear of them, and thank God I am single!

The irony of my last post is not lost here, but I've got to say. I feel I've just read the lost works of Plato !

Reading your post, Dreamaker, I went back to some thoughts that I had awhile back.  At 88 I have a few.

Here they are for what they're worth, not much.



                                                            Where Do I Go From here
 

I sat back in my chair and thought, maybe a little too much.   It seemed to me that what might be only an exercise in “gee this could happen to me”  by our younger generation might be closer to home to the ones approaching the next life.  Sometimes, it doesn’t pay to turn on a fertile mind and start thinking “If”

As we begin to stack up the years, we also begin to stack up life’s experiences in regards to general health..  I have been very lucky in that I’ve had reasonably good health so I don’t have as many ‘forgettable’ but not forgettable health experiences.  Even aside from that thought, I do know that ,just like an old car, it takes much more warming up to get the body started in the morning. It is also an inescapable fact that as we age, our body becomes more fragile. Evidence of this is in the fact that we bruise easily because of our parchment like skin on our arms. coupled with capillaries that have tissue thin walls.  Overall stiffness of the whole body doesn’t lend itself very well to confidence in  riding a motorcycle at 9/10’s or even lower.  Some will find that reaction to emergency situations is much declined.  We all have seen the results of that in seniors in cages, timid driving, unexpected turns without signaling, wandering in lanes, etc.  However, come to think of that, the same could apply to teenagers while texting. So that doesn’t count in my list of morbid thoughts.

These thoughts, in various degrees, are with me now in my senior years.  In my supposedly mature thinking and experience I believe that all of us will be faced with these thoughts in the future. We might even have some thoughts about what do we do with our age related 'wiseness"

So, How do we overcome these thought and live with them.  After all, they can be a detriment to our ability to enjoy the wind.

, I don’t know!!!   I’m going for a ride.

                                   UPDATE   UPDATE   UPDATE

Now, instead of a ride, it's a DRIVE!   The Miata awaits.  The day is nice, The goal is my favorite and close, Pokagon State Park.  The top will be down as soon as it warms and I'll be “In The Wind!

Later, not today,  I will be seeing if I can straddle my son's Triumph Scrambler and riding that.  THAT would be the icing on the cake.

Update. Aug 23rd.  In the wind today went to Pokagon.  "nuff said.
