The way it still is...
why is it so easy to lie to our selves? I can understand being able to lie to others...it's not like that they are inside our heads'...or they can hear what's in our hearts...and yet! How is it that we can manipulate our selves into thinking that every thing is going to be alright, or things are not as bad as they seem to be! Things are as bad as they seem....things aren't going to be alright unless we face the the reality set before us. In every facet of our lives, we are blinded by the truth that lays before us...Our jobs, our relationships, our faiths....why can't we just wake up to the truth? it's taken me 3 decades to finally have the veil lifted from my eyes, and I have to say....things are UGLY! At least for me any ways...and it's time I finally do some thing about it! There are a lot of things that I would of like to become....Firefighter, Police Officer...Hell, I would of liked to become a Nurse! What I knew for sure what I always wanted to be is happy...and I have to tell ya, I'm not happy...and I haven't been for a really long time. Well, no more...time to throw a middle finger to the world and start doing things my way;-)

The way it is....Love & The opposite sex
Now...this is some thing I have been wanting to do for a while now. Some would call this venting or really cheap therapy, I call it disclosure. Greetings and salutations every one, I (Luigi) will be your host for this little jaunt into what I like to call REALITY!
1st topic: what do you think it should be? Politics, economics, religion? How about some thing easy: Love or better yet...the opposite sex. Now I know what you are thinking, "How is that topic easy"? The truth is, if we really want to know how to get along with the opposite sex, all we have to do is....(wait for it)...check the EGO at the front door. Huh? What the HELL is he talking about....EGO...que? Think about it my friends (especially the guys out there) EGO is why the Great pyramids were built, the Empire State building or the fact that there WERE and ARE men willing to strap them selves into a seat on top a Metal Roman Candle only to be BLASTED to the Moon! The Moon...why? It's not even made out of cheese like some folks thought early in Human history(hmmmmm, Velveta) Stay with me on this one, give me the chance to show you why I have come to this conclusion.
Let's start with the Ladies first, cause well my mother taught me a little thing called manners. Having been raised by women and growing up with 2 sisters, I have gained invaluable insight into the mind of (let's face it) the smarter sex. Yes women do have EGOS, they just don't exhibit it like guys do. From my non scientific observations it has occurred to me that a woman's EGO is directly tied into the way she thinks she is viewed by others. In today's society women are bombarded with various forms of signals that are supposed to tell them what they are supposed to look like, act like , think like...so on and so forth. Let's face it ladies, it's an insane endeavor to try to become all those things with out losing the one thing that is truly important: YOU! Who you are isn't tied to what you look like, dress like or what you do for a living or how good looking your guy is or how much money he makes. All those things CAN be nice but they should have no real influence on how you see your self. Here is an example for you: Martha Stewart...a successful, beautiful, intelligent woman who literally forged an Empire from her sheer will and determination only to have it almost destroyed by her EGO. Hell, the SEC was only going to fine her for what she did but because she thought that Martha Stewart was above the petty laws that we commoners have to adhere to, she lied and really didn't take the whole situation seriously, so they dropped the hammer and it almost ruined her. As a woman, you are the source of life, the biological and spiritual engine that keeps the human machine going. Which ever direction women decide to go as a whole, so does all of mankind...so I say to you all: STOP....stop listening to all those out side forces that are trying to tell all of you who and what you are supposed to be, you already know the answer to that question! You are Life itself, it doesn't matter what color, body type, or economic disposition you may be in....you are all beautiful.
Now for my boys out there, here is a little bit of brutal truth! We are the simplest of all God's creatures. If left to our own accord, I truly believe this planet would look a giant mud pit filled with all kinds of life sized Tonka trucks and explosives(OH HELL YES) Nacho cheese would rain from the skies, communication would be reduced to grunting, burping and flatulence(once again, OH HELL TO THE YEAH!) Fortunately, that is not reality. We as men ARE driven by EGO via our other so called selves who dangles between our legs. We are motivated by conquest, conflict and the need to die with the most toys(I know you Ladies out there thought I was going to say sex didn't you;-p)Like women, we too are inundated with various outlets telling us what a MAN is supposed to be, think and how we are supposed act. A man is supposed to be the bread winner, hunter gatherer and sexual conquistador!(For reference on this point, please look up what happened between the Neanderthal vs. Homosapien) From the onset our little EGOS are fed to become the driving force behind every thing we do, thus throwing a huge monkey wrench into the process of one the most important things that we as men will ever do...finding that one woman who will make us what we ALL want to be: WHOLE(Jerry McGuire moment)I know we have all heard the ladies voice that all men are DOGS and the truth is...we are! BUT...just like our 4 legged best friends, we can LEARN to recognize a good thing when it is staring us dead in the face. The good news is that we CAN learn this lesson rather easily but the bad news is that 85% of us will not learn this lesson until it's too late. To exemplify this I will use my self as a subject. No, I do not look like Tyson Bedford...I do not wipe my butt with $1000 bills like Monsieur Gates, nor do I have the grey matter the likes of a Mr. Stephen Hawkins. All that aside, I have been known to be some what of a decent guy(or so I thought) Sure I was a good son, an annoying sibling, decent student but when it came to the opposite sex, I was under the complete control of my EGO. My EGO led me to believe that women were some thing to be acquired in great numbers. The more chicks I get, the more of a man I become right? I(like 85% of men) did not learn the truth till it was too late. Washed up in my manly ways I was fortunate enough to come across the one woman that I would gladly lay down my life for, the one woman that made the world make sense to me, the one woman who loved me for me and not for the car I drove or job I had or how dead sexy I am(DEAD FREAKING SEXY)At first things were like some thing out of a dream! I was incredibly happy, I literally worshiped the ground this woman walked on but then the EGO started to stir it's ugly little head. Here I was with a woman whose beauty was staggering, her intelligence was with out peer, a heart as big as the great outdoors AND she didn't mind the fact some times(ok, most of the time)I acted like I rode the short bus to school. Little by little I started to believe my own propaganda. Hey every one look at me, look at what I've got....and sure enough, I started to forget what I truly had: My TRUE other half! I began to lose appreciation for the miracle that I had received...like I said, she was very intelligent and so I got the boot. At first EGO was there to provide some comfort: "Don't worry about her man, there's a million women out there! You were able to pull her right?"(WRONG) What I should of pulled was my head out of my ass while there was till a chance to keep the one woman who was put on this earth for me...Guys, heed my words! Listen and learn from my Apocalyptic mistake, stop listening to your EGOS! We have to stop ragging on each other when one of us is smart enough to acknowledge the gifts of his woman. HELL, if a male penguin can look out across a vast frozen TUNDRA and find his one true penguin love and stay with her forever...so can we! The difference between man and penguin: NO EGOS!!!(and opposable thumbs...and BEER...and Football)
guys PLEASE learn from my one great sin! We as men need women WAY more than they need us. I wouldn't wish what I have become on any another man(emSo...what do you all think? simple huh...this is not rocket science, it's not even remedial reading. I truly believe that if both men and women are willing to put their collective EGOS aside, then we can start to fill in the great divide between the two sexes. Call me a hopeless romantic Or call me a deranged loon but ladies please heed my advice;pty)There are simply some things that you never "get over"(man or woman)...and that's the way it is.
