RELATIONSHIPS

I have been married to my wife for thirty-six years; and honestly, it seems like only yesterday that I took off my war suit, hung it on the coatrack outside the commanding officer’s door, drove off the base, picked up my girl and headed into the Maine back woods for what was the beginning of our lifetime adventure together. 

We are totally suited – we know each other’s thoughts and often don’t have to finish a sentence or sometimes even speak to know what the other is thinking.

This morning I lay in bed and listened as my girl and our two female cats went down stairs and carried on their conversations – went through their morning routine – until the cats were fed and my wife asked me if I wanted a cup of tea. 

I know better than to interfere with this morning ritual as the girls don’t wake up happy.   As a man, I can just get up and do what needs to be done; but the girls need their wake-up time, and then all can be right with the world.

That burn-up-the-bed sex at the beginning of a relationship is fantastic; but it is awfully   nice having that comfortable companionship where you are so much a part of each other that you feel like one single individual.    And if you are wondering – sex is still great, and contrary to advertising hype, no pills needed.

WOMEN AND SEX

I’ve got to admit Yellowdog Granny got me thinking with her post on her hiatus from sex (not sure if she was bragging or complaining.)  

My only knowledge comes from acting as a willing participant; so I really can’t say definitively what women think of sex. 

Jackie Kennedy is quoted as saying, “Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes.”

You may think that was tongue in cheek, but I am not too sure that what she said is not what she meant (ponder this sentence for a minute.)

My wife and I have always had great sex, and still do; the woman spins my prop.    But, I can be naked in bed waiting for her and she might stop and feed the cats or wash a glass left in the sink on her way to the bedroom – If she was in bed waiting for me – hell, a pride of lions couldn’t distract me.

Maybe it is me naked – do you think?   A man in his mid-seventies naked: not the most alluring thing I can think of. 

Sorry, no pics.

 I seem to age, but she doesn’t.   She is still the same beautiful woman who’s bones I jumped standing knee deep in snow, ten feet off a snowshoe trail; what doesn’t seem to me so many years ago.

THE ABORTION DEBATE

The Republicans war on women

We always blame the Republican Party for their staunch views against women and abortion.   Actually the Republican Party is just an arm – and extension – of the Christian religion. 

From the very beginning the Christian religion has viewed women as lesser beings than men. 

 Eve was responsible for introducing sin into the world.   Women are temptresses that ensnare men with their sex.   Women’s bodies are evil and produce unclean thoughts.  Men’s tits and nipples are fine, but women’s tits should be covered, and a woman’s nipples – are an offence to God…hide the children’s eyes….they will go blind!  

Since Roe vs. Wade women are now considered potential baby killers.    There are fundamentalist churches (and the Catholic Church) that are even opposed to birth control.   The Bible condemns male masturbation – but the churches seem willing to overlook this concept.  

Except for the Catholic Church:  Where every sperm is sacred. 

Women don't have to put up with this: they are over fifty percent of the population - but religion keeps their minds enslaved.

SEX IN BLUEBERRY FIELDS

Before we were married my wife and I had sex every chance and every where. We christened mini-cars, vans, trucks, teepees, tents, motels, and even a church. Winter, spring, summer, fall – if we were indoors or outdoors it didn’t matter. If we were alone and the opportunity presented itself we were ready.

Now don’t get me wrong – we still have great sex; but standing knee deep in snow leaning against a tree – it’s not going to happen again.

Men’s and women’s libidos are different. As women pass child bearing age their interest in sex decreases. They still can have a great time in bed; but it is just not on their minds all the time.


Men on the other hand are ready 24/7 – regardless of age. Some men who have medical problems or are married to someone who is less than attractive may need pharmaceutical help – but on the whole men are ready.

My wife is beautiful, sexy and feminine. She can walk into the house on a cold morning with her nipples showing beneath her blouse and I am ready to jump her bones on the living room floor – wishful thinking.   Just waking up next to her in the mornings, or the sight of her in something skimpy gets my motor running.

However, when I think about it from a woman’s point of view, I can understand their dilemma. Let’s face it: men aren’t pretty naked. I work out at the gym, and sometimes shower there. After seeing men’s hairy asses, pot bellies and hanging junk I can truthfully say that if I was a woman I would be a lesbian.

Again, I can’t speak for women; but I think Wanda Sykes probably has it nailed.   Check out the her Link:

Wands Sykes - The Dick is Dead

We men don’t need a little blue pill to keep us erect for four hours. What we would like to see is a little purple pill with a warning: Women – If you take this pill and find you have an uncontrollable, wild desire to have vigorous, passionate sex for more that four hours at a time: see a doctor immediately.

ZEN AND THE ART OF MASTURBATION.

This title is antithetical - contrasting direct opposites. 

ZEN tells us to live in the moment, and at first consideration you might assume that masturbation would be the apex of living in the moment, but on further deliberation we will know that masturbation is a total fantasy.  Now I can’t speak for women, but a man never look down at his hand and thinks Oh you erotic devil, I’ve been dreaming about you all night.  This is why men never masturbate with their eyes open unless they are watching porn.   They close their eyes and try to visualize a particular woman (or man as the case might be) and fantasize the feel of a particular orifice.  And then after the moment of orgasm they are back to reality with a clean-up at hand. 

All right this is really about Buddhism.  The masturbation was just to get your attention.

ZEN is only one of the disciplines of Buddhism.   Even though the Buddha declared on numerous occasions that he was not a god and the he could find no justification for a belief in life after death, most of the Buddhist sects have deified the Buddha and proclaimed a life-after death theology. 

There seems to be an inane need or genetic proclivity for men to invent a god to worship.  It is understandable that the fear and inability to deal with the certainty of death had led us to a belief in a god fantasy.  But it goes deeper than that: from the earliest times holy men/ con-men have been able to use the ‘god need’ to control and dupe the masses.  Even when the hard light of reason denies any reality of gods – people still line up and willingly follow any charismatic leader.  Against all common reasoning they will lock arms and while singing a particular anthem to their chosen deity willingly march over the abyss to blissful destruction. 

Zen does not depend on dogma that the world is eternal or finite; that there is life after death – or not life after death; or on the fundamentals of any religion.   Zen is the basic distillation of the Buddha’s teachings; and the Buddha said to believe nothing, no matter where you heard it or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense. 

Therefore ZEN only aims to develop in us the power of concentration and the ability to truly see ourselves and live fully in each moment. 

This is the first of a trilogy I will publish on sex and ZEN.

SEX IN THE MORNING - IT'S A MALE THING?

One reason I know that some all powerful God didn’t create man, is that men and women are basically so incompatible.  

I recently saw a chart about male and female sexual response.   It seems that males are most ardent in the morning and their curve decreases throughout the day ebbing at night; where as, women are at their lowest receptivity in the morning and increase to their peak at night.  The curves intersect at around 4 p.m. as the optimal time when both are equally responsive.  

I think this curve is probably correct, as I wake up (as do most boys and men) randy – though I would never turn down the offer at night.

Occasionally, when I wake in the morning and my wife is asleep with her back to me, I will quietly sidle over to her side of the bed, snuggle up conforming my body to her's, move my hips a little bit, put my arms around her and try to take hold of one of the girls – then I’ll whisper: How about a little morning delight…sunrise loving…roll in the hay…poke in the whiskers… jump your bones…a quickie…    Then suddenly I will get an elbow to the ribs or a fist to the stomach or a kick on the shins.  

My question is: Is this elder abuse?   And if so, do you think I could parlay (black mail) it into a blow job?  

I’m just asking.

GUN LAWS

There was a discussion on Up with Chris Hayes Saturday morning on gun control.   A reporter that attended the recent NRA convention in St Louis commented that most of those in attendance were old white men; and from conversations he overheard the consistent theme seemed to be that these men needed to be armed because at some time in the future they would have to defend themselves from some imaginary threat.   The liberal consensus on the program seemed to be that the people at the convention were afraid of the rise of minorities and saw that as a threat to their way of life. 

I don’t necessarily agree with that.   I have known many men who rode around with NRA stickers on the back window of their trucks.   None of them were afraid – but all of them entertained a fantasy of Armageddon: a time of a breakdown of law and order when they could emerge, regardless of their age or lack of physical prowess, with their guns blazing to become the hero and powerful leaders of their imagination.  In this scenario they all see themselves as the gun slinger that young girls would cling to (note: in their fantasies they do not liberate the old ladies in the rest home, but the young girls in the college dorms.)

Many of the people that go into police work are of the same ilk.   In high school  they were the prey of the alphas and as marginal students were lost in the back of the room; but with a badge of authority and a gun on their hip they achieve the longed for identity of macho.  The permission to carry a gun and the authority to shoot transforms the sexually insecure male into an alpha want-to-be.

Now, here we intersect with the Concealed Carry and Stand Your Ground Law.   Thousands of would-be alphas are walking around armed looking for a chance to live out their fantasy of being feared and admired because of their ability and readiness to kill with a firearm. 

In the old 1950 novel Battleground when a recruit would call his rifle a gun the DI would make him grab his crotch with his left hand and hold out his rifle with his right hand and repeat “This is my rifle and this is my gun – this is for fighting and this is for fun.”  I truly believe that gun mania is a substitute for lack of sexual prowess.

  

In the military I was on the station pistol team and qualified to compete at All Navy competition, but could not attend because of deployment schedule.  I was awarded both expert rifle and expert pistol ribbons.   I do not have a concealed carry license and do not need one.  I know the difference between my rifle and my gun and don’t need to carry one to compensate for the other.

A BUZZARD EGG OMELET #10

OK, I get it – and I empathize:  Women have always been subjugated by men.   They are portrayed by religion as sinful, lustful, succubus looking to lead boys and men into debauchery.  They have been portrayed by husbands as nitwits to be made fun of, and by business as emotionally unstable hires that aren’t as dependable as men.

Now the government wishes to control their sexuality and reproductive life; going so far as to enact state mandated rape. 

My question is: Females are over fifty percent of the population…and they have the vote…why is this an issue?

I’m just asking.

RHETORICAL QUESTIONS

SEX, SEX, AND MORE SEX

Sexual progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexual restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust.

225,000 years of Erotic Freedom

By Alan Moore Abrams

What the hell is wrong with these people?   Rush raved about young women promiscuously having sex, sex, sex; while Santorum declared that sex should be for procreation and not for pleasure.  

As a red blooded male I can’t see any downside to women willing to have sex.  For me, that has always been a situation much to be desired. 

One more Axe to grind:  Young men in high school that get laid by a good looking teacher and then complain…what kind of bullshit is that?   That would have been my wildest dream and highest aspiration when I was a teen ager.

STATE SPONSORED RAPE OF WOMEN

STATE RAPE

The Republican Party of the state of Virginia is about to pass a law requiring all women applying for legal abortion service to undergo, even against their will, an invasive vaginal ultrasound probe, which is medically unnecessary.

Any woman who is coerced into vaginal penetration against her will is experiencing rape.  

The Republican Party of the state of Virginia is legislating state rape.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?  

the Ol'Buzzard 

HE' BACK

Well hell, for what it’s worth the Ol’Buzzard is back.

Perhaps it's what all bloggers go through – like mid-blog crisis – it seems you’ve said it all and it’s a repeat of the same old shit. You’re sick of the same political crap – it just rehashes and becomes the same theme with different names. Nothing changes and nothing is going to change.



Facts we must live with:

1) All senators and congresspersons are primarily interested in reelection – the only way to truly move the government toward serving the people would be TERM LIMITS…and it ain’t going to happen. Just as there is a test for teachers, lawyers and doctors, there should be a test for political office – most would never pass it.

2) Education is the only way to seriously address the long term unemployment crisis – and the government doesn’t have a clue how to do it. If you truly want to know how to effectively educate the population: ask a teacher. A one size fits all policy and standards for a diverse population is ludicrous. However, government will never relinquish education to the educators – it is to good of a platform to run for reelection on. (never end a sentence with a preposition – fuck it.)

3) One half of the American population falls on the back side of the intellectual bell curve, and one quarter of the population is functional but borderline retarded.

4) Education credentials are not an indicator of intelligence: look at the Republican Presidential candidates.

5) Religion is the archenemy of civilization: It is the base of almost all intolerance and bigotry. Religion would choose to move civilization backwards toward the dark ages and away from science and enlightenment.

6) Gender equality doesn’t exist. Males and females are two alien creatures that must exist in a symbiotic relationship; but, we don’t have the same aggressive tendencies, the same emotions, the same physical abilities, the same sex drives, the same outlooks or the same priorities.

7) Growing old doesn’t suck. It is just the expectation of disability and death that sucks. The main problem with growing old is that young women don’t want to fuck you any more.

DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL

A CULTURAL LANDMARK

As of midnight last night the law preventing gay men and women in the military from serving openly was repealed. Like the repeal of segregation this social change will take some time before all prejudice and resentment can be eradicated – and among southern, redneck, Christian fundamentalist and the Catholics Church in general the resentment and violence toward someone with a different lifestyle will never relinquish.

However, in the military it will soon be a non-starter. The military is a unique organization and conforming to regulations and orders is an accepted way of life.

Many don’t know that during the Viet Nam war there was high racial tension and there was often violence between black and white service men. It got to the point that mission readiness was affected. After the war racial tension still existed in many commands. In the Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations decreed that the any racial conflicts would be dealt with swiftly and firmly by commands and he established a training mission to bring about a better understanding between races. All active duty Navy personnel were required to attend a series of rights and responsibilities lectures and activities. There were those among the white sailors that tagged the training “Watermelon U.” I was a facilitator (instructor) for this training, which, along with the zero tolerance decreed by commanding officers of all Naval commands, brought about an end to both covert and overt displays of intolerance.

In a short time gay service in the military will be a non-issue for service personnel; however, outside the military the contention will continue – especially among military retirees continuing to live in their self-constructed past glories and among the far right Christian activist; and again, the Catholic Church.

The world moves on and many refuse to move with it.

ANTHONY WEINER'S WIENER TWITTER

ANTHONY’S WEINER

Ok, I would really like to blog on something else, but with all the news programs obsessed with Anthony’s Weiner people aren’t paying attention to unimportant stuff like wars, the economy, global warming, radiation in Japan and the Republican’s drive to limit personal liberties.


I am constantly appalled by the prudishness of the American public.  It all boils down to the Christian notion that sex is dirty (original sin.)   I have had people tell me that I should read a certain book and that it’s a “clean book”; or that certain movies are “clean movies.” I feel like telling them that I’m a fucking adult and colorful language and adult sexuality doesn’t bother me.  The thing that bothers me is censorship: pixelation of nipples and sex organs and bleeping out so called dirty words when I am watching a movie on TV - that bugs the shit out of me and I usually end up changing the channel.

As long as America claims to be a Christian nation there is no hope for the population to ever mature to adulthood. We will constantly be obsessed with someone else’s sexual proclivities and feel that  moral judgments must be passed.


Bill Clinton got a blow job and the Republicans were outraged – what could be more American than a blow job in the oval office?   I applaud him.   It is nice to know that some of our presidents are not eunuch – that they enjoy adult sex.   Again, that should have been only between he and Hillary.


All normal adult males watch porn on the internet – and this includes priest and preachers; politicians and teachers (I can’t speak for females – they are not as sexually obsessed as we are – I don’t think.)   If Anthony Weiner has any explaining to do – it is only to his wife; it is really none of our business, and as long as no laws are broken Weiner should be able do with his wiener what ever he damn well pleases.

MY GOD, I'VE BEEN HACKED ! (MAYBE)

 

 

I can't really say if that is a picture of me - or not!

It may be Anthony Weiner
probably Andrew Breitbart - ya

 I need to hire a law firm that specializes is internet hacking to get to the bottom of this.
