Four Young Men...
Four Young Minds...
For Young Ladies...
So I asked what I should blog about and this is what I got:
- Violence on TV and how I think it influences the youth of today
- personal hygiene and how it relates to attracting the ladies
- Dreams and
- Arlen and Steve's relationship
I must say, I'm not IN LOVE with any of them. But I suppose they are better than Physics and Chemistry 30 which is pretty much all that fills my brain right now. So here we go...
I'm no expert as far as sociology goes (that's Jules' domain, so he could probably shed more insight here), but I was asked my opinion so I'll give it. I think the media, including but not especially TV, has a great influence on everyone, including but not especially children. And when TV is put in a position where it is a major part of someone's life it will become a major influence in that person's life, in the same way a parent, sibling, friend or mentor could be. I had those in my life, they influenced me and in turn, I emulate them. So if TV were placed in a similar position, as is the case in many homes around the world, why wouldn't it do the same? Of course, I think I would be the last person to say "kill your TV", I love TV, but I love it in moderation and in balance and should the day ever come when I have children they will watch TV, but I will watch it with them, or at least know what they are watching. But my children will also be involved in physical social activities such as sports and clubs where they will meet friends who will remind them that there is more to life than TV.
Personal hygiene and it's relationship with meeting the ladies... I don't think I can offer much to this that isn't public knowledge already, except for an anecdote of an exception to the rule. I had a friend who's lady LOVED dirty sex and it ended up being one of the major factors in the end of the relationship. I should clarify "dirty sex", she LOVED first thing in the morning, no teeth brush sex, and after a long workout, sweaty sex, and after a 3 day hiking/camping excursion, no showers sex. And she pretty much only loved this kind of sex. So... P. Diddy, there is hope for you yet.
Dreams. Again, not an expert, so I will leave the analysis up to you. I don't remember my dreams very often, maybe one a month if I'm lucky, but there are two recurring dreams that I have and remember quite often.
First is me, at night, on a hockey rink. In real life, I can't skate very well, or actually I can't stop very well. Anyway in the dream I am on one end of the rink on the goal line, and I have to get to the other side, so I begin to skate. But as I skate small cracks begin to appear in the ice and I have to jump them to avoid tripping, and as I continue the cracks become larger and larger so my jumps have to get longer and longer until I am barely making them anymore, and I never get closer to the other end of the rink, and not after too long the cracks are now huge canyons on the rink and I have to keep skating and jumping. I never reach the other side, but I never miss a jump, rather I wake up before the dream "ends". I don't like this one.
The other is much more pleasant. Again it is set at night, actually it is around 3:00am or 4:00am I am guessing, why I guess this is because the sky isn't nighttime black anymore, but instead it is starting to turn a slight shade of blue. The stars are still out, and they can all be seen. And I am driving, in a convertible car with the top down, alone. I'm guessing I'm in the United States because one, it's kind of deserty, and two occasionally I'll see a highway marker and it's one of those "I90" kinds of highways, the kinds you see in movies set in America. One lane each way and there are no other vehicles on the road. It's very calm, very quiet and very soothing. I always wake up relaxed. I like this dream.
As for Steve and Arlen, I think I should leave that one up to them. Perhaps Arlen can shed some light. All I can say is "I dunno, they're actors."

Thanks Joey <3<3<3
Joe,
I like how descriptive you were with all the
different kinds of sex settings/situations.
What would you do if your friend's lady were to
read that?
Hahaahhaha!
Ah, Just Browsing... this is why, like you, I did not use any names in that little anecdote. Also, the odds of her reading this are very very slim, and even if she did, her and I never met and she would probably assume I was talking of someone else before she would assume it was her.
sweet. score one for the p.diddly.
Wow Joey! Awesome job on the media-violence part of the blog. I am finishing my Soc major, so you have just impressed me more. :)
I'm always happy to impress. Just like you, better impress me, on my plate, tomorrow night. :)
Damn Joe,
you sure became mighty popular!
Now if I may analyze your hockey dream...
The fact that your dream happens at night: Darkness. Mystery. Unconscious contents. There is a mystery that you want to penetrate.
Ice: Frozen state of feelings . Anxiety without cause. Obstacles in business affairs.
Jumping: Inconsistent in love affairs. Escape from danger. Adventures.
Skating: Freedom. Rapid movement with great ease.
All this from the help of my trusty magazine!
See you tonight!
Damn Joe,
you've got quite the fan base going on!
Now, if I may interpret one of your dreams...

Damn! It didn't work the first time...
Now I look like a fool, like a fool.
Ha Ha! Hey look everyone, Pants posted twice! What a fool! WHAT A FOOL!

Well, if that isn't the definition of irony, I don't know what is.
i•ro•ny
1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
2. an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected
3. the incongruity of this
4. an objectively sardonic style of speech or writing
5. an objectively or humorously sardonic utterance, disposition, quality, etc
Thanks Dictionary Man.
What are you anyway? Some kind of man that is made of dictionaries? Because if so, how did you type that message if you have dictionaries for hands? You wouldn't have the dexterity. And also... umm... Your powers suck!
Man... my insults must be broken or something, I am just not feeling it tonight.
I'm officially in love with you Joe! You're such a darling to write on demand!
(in love may be a slight exageration....)
And now it is time for judgement...were you impressed? haha
BB Wings, I don't know how you can deliver with such consistency, but you did it again. I credit it to your hot sauce voodoo. Friday?
Ahhhhh...I will be MIA. Saturday perhaps?
Doubtful BBWings, as it is the last Saturday of the month it is Oh Susanna night and that is one improv show that I am not a part of. I guess I will have to enjoy you without you there. Weird...?
Well quite possibly, but don't hold your breath, I may be there Friday. Just depends what is going on.
Clarification please.
Perhaps a bit heavy, but you have stated that TV has an "influence" and, therefore, you would carefully monitor your child's TV "intake", if you will. What influence do you think it might have? What exactly is the concern with the watching of TV and what, in particular, are you concerned they will watch? It seems a truism that any regular presence in our lives will influence us in some way, so what particular feature(s) or content of TV are you concerned by? I suppose I am a bit tired of hearing that TV influences our youth, so boo to TV violence; it creates violent children (a dubious suggestion). I desire elaboration...
Umm... Sorry the Devil's Advocate, I was only asked my opinion, I refuse to expand on my thoughts. Actually, this post is getting old and while I love creating dialogue with peoples, I just don't want to get into this one, mostly cause I know you will probably out logic me and melt my brain.
