Blog 7 or Sex . . . uh, lost my train of thought

Men and women are different. I hate to break it to you kids but it's the truth. I assume we all know the physical differences and if you don't, well, out the door of our classroom, turn left and down the hall on the left hand side is the Health Dept. Anyway, we think, react, engage, analyze, listen, watch, play, love, etc., etc. differently. As for the equal thing, nonsense. Not even in God's eyes, if so we would both be able to have babies. But God (or insert personal deity here) knew the attention span of the male of the species and there was no way we could deal with nine months of anything. Football season, Sept-Feb=6 mos., baseball season, Apr-Oct=7 mos. Seven months tops. Women have the patience of Job. They put up with us and have the kids. Some would say that's why God is male. But I wouldn't, that would be rude.

As for the sex part. It can be such a primal and primitive force/feeling that there is no wonder it is associated with lust and love. It can be difficult sometimes to separate the notion of love and lust and that difficulty can lead to myriads of problems. Quite often it involves giving the wrong head the lead in decision making and then refusing to deal with the consequences or admitting to oneself that they got the four letter words mixed up. Lust seems to have a beginning and end, love appears to be more like the ocean. Really big, moves in waves, all kinds of scary things in it, can't see the other side, walk in and its soft, fall in and it hurts like hell.

Muses. Muses can be a pain. Like cats. To quote Rush Limbaugh (who may be quoting someone else), "Dogs have masters, cats have staff." Muses have staff. 'Nuff said.
