If firefighters fight fires and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?
Your belt holds up your pants, but your belt loops hold up the belt. Who’s the real hero?
Do blind people see in their dreams, or to they dream about seeing?
These are some of the things that I have been pondering lately during my ten minute ponder period of the day. I have also pondered the changing of the phrase “ponder period” to something along the lines of “introspective episode” or “brooding practice.” I’ll have to meditate on that.
These little questions on life seem to take up tiny motes of time that soon become a long phase where we forget what the original question was and what relation it had to the beginning of the day when it was brought up. The domino effect often takes us far from where our original train of thought and leaves us in Boise, or somewhere else remotely uninteresting. Where was I….
Yes, pondering. One of the things that I have been pondering lately is the relationships between men and women. Now, after such successful books as Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus it seems easy to go and pick up a best seller that could help solve all the problems for couples. I find often that this is not the case. I have never read the Mars/Venus book, but just by the title I can tell you what I think about it. The concept of men coming from the Roman god of war and women coming from the Roman goddess of love seems self-explanatory to me. Men are brutes and women are care givers.
Yet, I have found that this is often not quite accurate. So I am investing in the new book, Women are from Venus, Men are from Chocolate Pudding. If you try to look that up it will not be there…because I have not written it yet. I have put it ahead of my other self-help books I am working on though. I’m Okay, You’re Chocolate Pudding and Chocolate Pudding for the Soul will just have to be pushed back to make way for this one. Expect them to be delivered from Burning Books Publishing to your bookshelves shortly.
One of the coolest, and scariest, things about relationships is that they never turn out like you think they are going to. The relationships that you see in movies and television are never how real relationships turn out. Up-hill, down-hill, cross country…these are real relationships. It’s scary sometimes to think that one of the biggest emotional investments in your life is a roller coaster, but it is also the most rewarding feeling you can have when you think about it long enough. Unpredictability lets you grow with each other and weather out things that you probably couldn’t on your own. This is why men don’t understand women, women vise versa. If we understood the opposite sex…there would be no bad times and the good times would be less appreciated.
So if men are from Mars and women Venus, then so be it. It lets us find a space in the middle to inhabit with each other. And chocolate pudding helps. Trust me.
