GO KONG GO!

What we realise is that for Kong, the definition of beauty is not about blond hair, it's about emotion. As for Ann, she's drawn to the animal because he makes her feel something real, and that is Kong's loyalty, protection and friendship. What more could a woman ask for? The classic idea of the beast is one who tends to have very pure, strong emotions - he doesn't contain or repress his feelings. I think that for women, who wrote the original myth in the 17th and 18th centuries, the story had a primitive natural eroticism, a combination of raw power and innocence. A woman's dream of a protective monster like Kong is a sort of infantilising dream of being back with some daddy figure, of thinking yourself back to the beginnings of your own life, when your parents were huge and your father was a titan!

SIGN OF THE TIMES!

It was only after I had created this blog that I read Haley Suitt’s How To Become An Alpha Male In 18 Easy Lessons. Here, I reproduce only one of the lessons. Interesting, eh! For the rest, you could check out halleyscomment.blogspot.com

My Alpha Boy
My son is just eight years old, but I think I've got a best-of-breed, certified, irresistible, terrific Alpha Male in the works here. My Alpha Boy has got the right stuff. My Alpha Boy knows what it takes. My Alpha Boy is everything a boy can be and it's wonderful to see. I want to mention 18 wonderful things about my Alpha Boy and wish him the best as I watch him grow into the man he'll soon become. A young man with all the best intentions. A good man. A brave man. A kind man. A man with all the virtues and vices of a real human being. Just a simple man. Just a simply great man.
1. My alpha boy is kind and loving to his mom -- you can't beat that.
2. My alpha boy takes little stuffed animals to school for the girls to take care of. He lets the girls set them in the corners of his desk, tuck them into little improvised beds and pull little Kleenex blankets up to their necks, their paws holding the edge of the blanket. The girls love this.
3. My alpha boy is zany and sometimes calls me Halley Elizabeth Suitt, or "Momlette", just to tease and annoy me.
4. My alpha boy has a friend at school that another kid was picking on. My boy went up to the mean kid and told him to leave him alone, he said, he was HIS FRIEND and said, "You got a problem with that?"
5. My alpha boy loves to sing.
6. My alpha boy loves to laugh.
7. My alpha boy loves to fart.
8. My alpha boy rides his bike at near death-defying speeds these days.
9. My alpha boy helps me dry the dishes.
10. My alpha boy continues to trick me, wearing his pants long and baggy so I won't notice he's not wearing socks. This is a fundamental independence he demands from his mother who really wants him to wear socks. He thinks socks are not cool.
11. I caught my alpha boy holding the door open at a fast food restaurant for an old man.
12. I caught my alpha boy wiping snot on his bed sheets while reading a Pokemon comic book. We call the big ones raisins.
13. I caught my alpha boy kissing his GI Joe's good night (in a rather manly way actually) and telling them to "hang in there."
14. My alpha boy is already good at fixing things in my house.
15. My alpha boy wants to drive my car.
16. My alpha boy still loves his Tonka dumptrucks, his crane, his backhoe and will not let me give any of them away to Goodwill.
17. My alpha boy is still crazy for firetrucks _ the big ones.
18. My alpha boy has taught me all the wonderful things I know, love and appreciate about men.

Testosterone is a bitch

The name says it all: X Files of Y Chromosome. My agenda is typically male (and typically alpha male) because for good reasons, the agenda of women is directed towards men who are good providers, and who are around for the period of pregnancy, and beyond. My sexual agenda is in conflict with the sexual agendas of all the women I've known, because, in general, the procreative and sexual strategies of women are in conflict with the procreative and sexual strategies of men. For men who are either very rich, or very powerful, or outstanding for other reasons, women may be willing (and often have been willing throughout history) to compromise, though they may prefer not to have to. That seeking material benefits is deeply ingrained in typically female mating strategies has conclusively been shown by David Buss in his book The Evolution of Desire, as well as in the work of other academic evolutionary psychologists. That a mating strategy of seeking material benefits and security for herself and her offspring in a lifetime relationship with a dedicated spouse is essentially based on the same paradigm (seeking material benefits) as the mating strategy of a street hooker is nevertheless violently disputed by well-reputed housewives. My sexual agenda obviously also is in conflict with the agendas of other men. It is in conflict with the agenda of other alpha males, because we potentially compete for the same resources. It is even more though in conflict with the agendas of betas and gammas, because the whole system is unfair to them. There is always the potential risk that betas and gammas band together and apply the methods of the French Revolution. Fraternity, of course, is only transitory, as kings are replaced by emperors, and the nobility by politicians, bureaucrats, and capitalists who then appropriate the unfair share.

From here to Eternity!

She fell in love with his greasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
She'd never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more, more, more
But when she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He whispered to her to get on the back
"I'll take you on a ride from here to eternity"
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She'd never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like's she's on cloud nine
She even tought she heard the engine sigh
But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The beast and charlotte they were two of a kind
They'd always take the line... from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

Random thoughts

Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory
Come home - Meat in a plastic sack
Fall Down - Better pray to your God for mercy
So kneel - and help the blade cut clean
Nothing is sacred - Back then or now
Everyone's wasted
Is that all there is?
Is that it now ?

LUST FOR LIFE

Now I'm here can you see me?
'Cos I'm out on my own.
When the room goes cold,
tell me you can feel me ......
'cos I'm here.
Here I am, can you see me?
Passing through, on my way.
To a place I'd been to only in my dreams... before.
In a world of delusion,
Never turn your back on a friend.
'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand ...... through life.
There are those that deceive you,
There are those that'll let you down.
Is there someone out there that would die for you ...... thought not.
Live your life with passion.
Everything you do, do well.
You only get out of life what you put in ...... so they say.
In a world of confusion,
People never say what they mean.
If you want a straight answer go look for one ...... right now.
In a room full of strangers,
Do you stand with your back to the wall?
Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside ...... looking in?
You can make your own luck,
You create your destiny.
I believe you have the power if you want to ...... it's true.
You can do what you want.
If you try a little bit harder.
A little bit of faith goes a long way ...... it does.
Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to known just what you think.
It would be nice to know what happens when we die ...... wouldn't it?
There are some who are wise,
There are some who are born naive.
I believe that there are some that must have lived before ...... don't you?
As for me, well I'm thinking.
You gotta keep an open mind.
But I hope that my life's not an open and shut case.
Extra Sensory Perception.
Life After Death, telepathy.
Can the soul live on and travel through space and time?
You know I feel so elated,
'Cause I'm about to find it out.
And when I know all the answers,
Maybe then I'll come back ...... to fill you in.
You don't be alarmed now.
If I try to contact you,
If things go missing or get moved around ...... it's me.
And don't disbelieve it,
No matter what your 'friends' might say.
We'll meet up again some place some way ...... one day.
