I feel like writing. My next post will probably be too long and nobody will read it.


I encourage all to do the same.


What is on your mind ? No subject is unwelcome.


I'd appreciate if all cutesey worthless posts were put elsewhere.

I'm thinking about how much I love Jennifer, and how that love is only equalled by our mutual love for zombies and gore.

now you need to take that next step and actively prepare!!!

i ordered this yesterday 16" Smith & Wesson Kukri







as for rocky's thread, i spend much more time seriously contemplating my true self, what actually makes me tick, my emotions, and what it actually means to be a "man". the unmoveable rock, that shelters and protects, the wise mentor that the young can learn from, and the nurturing loving father/lover, the man that simply being near him makes everything seem like it will be ok. i believe that a combination of these three, and firm set of moral ideals, no matter WHAT they may be, as long as you don't simply follow them, but LIVE them, is what it means to be a man. many males are capable of being 1, or maybe 2 out of 3, but most males, while putting on their protective armor to be the sheltering rock, end up armoring that one point they feel to be the weakest, their emotions. the wise mentor often throws all emotional reason out the window in favor of pragmatic logic.

many cultures actually have a ceremony in which young males are officially declared to be men. and the change of the mentallity of those now young men is actually surprising. sure, nothing actually changes to the young man, but the active realization that his society acknowleges him to be a man, kinda...shocks him into the idea that his childhood is over, and that it is now time to act accordingly.

i feel that this ceremony is necessary to a young man.. it would put some meaning to ideals that we as males are raised to live by, and without it, we will continue to a bunch of bearded children acting the fool. it doesn't have to be a serious ceremony, but simply the acknowledgment of a mentor, or ones father simply verbally telling his son in all seriousness "you are a man now" would do wonders for our society.

well, i have let myself ramble quite a bit
