You like reading multiple books, too? How's Getting Off coming along?

hunger by knut hamsun.

i do,....i carry a few different ones around,...in the car,...in my purse,....stuck around the house,....so i'm not ever without something to read,.....this lends itself to multiples,....ya know?

confession,....sometimes i just read cook books ,......i did want to listen them though


i just started gettin off,....and its very interesting,.....i have this theory that men dont know how to be men anymore

I love to read cookbooks, too. I've a good vegetarian recipe website, but I'll link you when I'm on my own computer.

As for men not knowing how to be men anymore - I'll have to disagree in that we (male or female) change, and as much as it's hard to see, we've evolved a great deal from what we used to be. In general, humans don't know how to be humans. This, I think, leads to questions such as what is a human supposed to act like? Aren't we animals, too? Being able to communicate with each other in advanced and technological ways surely separates from, say, bears, but why does that give (some of) us reason to treat them poorly? I'm sorry I got carried away from the book topic AND men. To me, I think a lot of men are getting to be more emotionally and intelligently connected with not only each other and themselves, but women, too. Yeah, I'd agree that these types of men are hard to come by, but they're out there and if you're looking too hard, you probably won't find one.

i understand what you are sayin,......however,....i feel like everything in life must have a balance,....through the blurring of gender roles, the balance has been thrown off kilter

Yes, my friend, but equilibrium ceases to exist without chaos.

then i suppose,.....bein the chaos that i am,.....where the **** is my equilubrium,.....i'm tired of being observant,.....i need a nap

if there is an issue of disrupted equilibrium, i think increasing social homogeneity has to be seen as a consequence of material forces, the shift toward a decentralized technocratic society... we're all robots why not act like it... that sort of thing
