True. True. But do you know how much pee I have to clean up off the floor and toilet seat living with three males? How much toilet paper gets used there, I wonder?

Funny how your tastes in the opposite sex change, and how easy it is to forget the past.
by miseryloveselders ini had to give a talk away today, which came up somewhat unexpected.
i had a couple days to get this outline together, and thats sufficient enough time for me, but i prefer knowing a week in advance.
at any rate, it all worked out.

I felt sorry for Woodson too, but its nice to see him finally get a ring. He's been in there what, 13 seasons? I had his Michigan jersey when I was younger. There's a career for him in the booth awaiting. I'm surprised Pittsburgh didn't take more advantage of the Greenbay's secondary considering their injuries.

I had to give a talk away today, which came up somewhat unexpected. I had a couple days to get this outline together, and thats sufficient enough time for me, but I prefer knowing a week in advance. At any rate, it all worked out. The hall I was visiting, had a sister I made a play at several years ago. She wasn't interested, and at the time it bothered me, but not excessively. I could handle rejection back then, you know like easy come, easy go. I'd be lying if I didn't say I really was interested in her though. But oh well, it wasn't meant to be. Well, I saw her today for the first time in several years, and you know I really didn't give a flying f#$# about her, and you know what, that felt good. She's married now, to a cocky brother. My impressions of him may be distorted as I don't know him all that well. He may be a very good dude for all I know, and I hope they're happy together, I really mean that. I thought they looked cute together sitting in the audience. It's just funny to me how people come and go in life, and my father told me that would be the case years ago, and I didn't understand nor believe him. The guys I was hanging with back then, I thought would be with me until I died. Life doesn't work out that way though. People really do come and go. People live and die. The world changes, the world stays the same, and as people we live, and inevitably we die. It's not really such a bad thing when you sit down, meditate, and put it all into perspective. It is what it is.
I looked at her from the platform, and looked down at her big beautiful eyes which were like root beer flavored jolly ranchers, and I felt nothing but indifference. She could die tommorrow in a bad automobile accident, and I can say with the utmost sincerity that I wouldn't lose any sleep over her. Not that I wouldn't be sympathetic, but at the same time it aint all about her. I imagine she feels the same about me, if she feels anything at all. Regardless of what her feelings are, I really don't give a f#$#. Its funny how the attraction to the opposite sex can alter so much about us as people with feelings. We dress to impress them, we educate ourselves, we offer our material posessions to win their heart. We offer our emotions, our artistry, all in an attempt to win and ultimately gain their affections. And for what? Is it really worth it in the end? I doubt it. Do you know how much toilet paper women go through in a week? Its proposterous. Its obscene that a woman can go through several rolls of toilet paper a week. A good foreign car won't go through as much as gas in a week as a woman will go through toilet paper.
I digress, I've got a little tanqueray in me, a little diphenhydramine in me which is yet to kick in. I'm planning on hitting the sack early tonight. This week is going to be a busy week at work, and I'm looking forward to it. There's plenty to accomplish this week, and I plan on doing that and then some. She'll live her life with her husband, who by the way I could take his head right off of his shoulders if I really wanted to. That guy has no idea what I could do to him physically. It would be ungodly. But I don't need to do that. He's got her, and I'm happy for the both of them. I'm happy for Aaron Rodgers tonight too, he deserved a ring. Well, G'night all.
Sincerely, MLE(Emily)

How do I get them to leave me alone?
by Mr. Falcon inwhy does every ex-elder who went through so much turmoil while being an elder always whine to me about how much it sucked, yet when i mention that i don't want to be one, they suddenly get all nostalgic and tell me what a blessing it is to serve as an e-man?.
elder.. period.. maybe i might have a change of heart one day if they actually require these men to have some sort of actual psychological/communication training or if they start handing out paychecks.
but until then, i respectfully decline.. .

This reminds me of almost every dude I've ever known who has been in the military, including my father. The far majority of them had absolutely nothing positive to say about their experiences in uniform. Yet the ironic part is, the far majority of those same folks will encourage someone else to join the arm services. They'll use every persuasive argument from it being an honor, to it being your duty, to it making a man out of you. Meanwhile 5 minutes before praising the armed forces, they were badmouthing their entire time spent there and everybody else in their units. For them to encourage someone to join, it's almost like they find it unfair that there's people out there who haven't felt their pain.
As far as being an elder is concerned, I've jokingly argued with my dad, telling him that he suckered me into this appointed bull crap. I should have known better too, considering all the years as a child our house would be on pens and needles when dad was on his way home from an elder's meeting. We were always worried about him being in a bad mood, and irritable. He wasn't physically abusive or anything, but borderline verbally abusive, and more prone to say regretful things after an elder's meeting. Why I followed in his footsteps and didn't rebel like other youths of my generation, I'll never know. Probably fear......
As far as being nostalgic, and viewing it as a blessing, in my opinion being an elder is about as much of a blessing as being diagnosed with cancerous hemoroids.

I don't know if this can fit under the category of rebellion per say, but driving with your music too loud does tick people off. Being honest, it ticks me off the older I get. However this song, especially the remixed version have to be listened to at full blast and only when driving. Thats pretty much the theme of the song, its a car song. It knocks........

I posted this some time ago, and some of the details have escaped my memory, but last year's district convention during the talk that explained "this generation", I saw something entertaining. I was doing the attentant thing, which every year I swear I'm never going to do again, but ever year some brother whom I've never met nor heard of, somehow gets my phone number and asks me if I'd be available as an attendant, and every friggin year, I say yes.
Anyways, I got tired of sitting up in peanut heaven watching my section. So I decided to take a walk, I'm a brother with an attendant badge, so that gives me immunity, almost as much immunity as the sisters who use their infants to walk around in a circle at the stadium so they don't have to pay attention to the boring program. Well I walked downstairs to the top of another section and I stood several feet away from a section designated for older ones and those with disabilities. I must have stood there, leaning against a wall for about 5 minutes or so, and the speaker got into the part about "this generation." I can't recall how he led into that part as it was last summer, but when he did, there was this older couple who probably should have died along with the previous generation. Anways, the husband, when he realized what the speaker was getting ready to discuss, he shook his longtime wife's shoulder, and she acknowledged him, and they both listened intently with notepads in hand. I almost lost it! The way he shook her, you could tell it was something that had been on their minds, and they were waiting desperately for some explanation. It was both fascinating in a Nat Geo kind of way, and hilarious because it was really important to that older couple.

1- Quinton "Rampage" Jackson Loggin chain around his neck, wolf howls, the mouth of the south, and howitzers for arms. One more thing, the Ricardo Arona slam
That Arona slam was crazy, probably the craziest thing I've ever seen in MMA. I hate watching grapplers in the cage. I mean there's a certain beauty of it considering their talents on the ground, but at the same time its beyond boring. The Hallmark channel is more entertaining than the grapplers. So to see Rampage just pick dude up and flap him like shaking a carpet or a blanket was amazing.
I like watching MMA but at the same time I fear for the future health of these guys. I also wonder how good it is for our culture, especially the attitudes of the younger generation. Sorry, I'll shut up now, drink a beer, and enjoy the fight.
I share the reservations you have on MMA's impact on our culture. I love boxing, I've always loved it and would have loved to have done it for a living. At the same time though, one cannot deny that its violence for the entertainment of the masses and we're really not that far removed from Rome in that aspect. One of Commodus weaknesses was the gladiator fights of which he both watched and participated. When violence for entertainment becomes mainstream enough that even the elite of great countries accept it as tolerable and even enjoyable, the deterioration of society's morals and virtues is past recovery at that point. I knew a ministerial servant who got disfellowshipped and is now training as a mixed martial artist. He's got tattoos, he looks semi-dangerous, and I can't help but think he was better off as a Jehovah's Witness, if even in poor standing.
Something else I've been pondering lately, and this is going back to Caliber's thread on feminism. I believe men have been demasculinated in the past few decades. There's no shortage of bitch-boys, cowards, and feminine men. Meterosexuals were unheard of 50 years ago. Even rap music which was always a bastion of excessive and thuggish testosterone isn't immune to this trend, hence tight jeans, mohawks, and fluorescent clothing. I wonder at times whether or not MMA is an unconscious reaction to the demasculination of our young men? I'm all for championing manhood, but I hate to see the pendulum swing too far to the other side where young boys aspire to become warriors, brutes, and thugs, as opposed to responsible, mature adult men conscious of their role in a civilized society.
By the way, Silva will take out Vitor in the second or third round. By the way I dig Urijah Faber, something about that dude I like. I love his workout ethic, and to see a white boy with cornrows and not be a poser is alright in my book.
