Rantings and ravings. Just think of it as Sunday afternoon with the in-laws, or the eccentric grandmother. Good times had by all. Except me..because I always seem upset in my blog posts..hm.

an invitation to peace?

it smells like squashed worms outside. don't ask me how i know what squashed worms smell like. have you ever tilled a compost pile? have you ever walked to class in the pouring rain and smelled something that was a cross between wet dog and mud, with a little something extra to make it slightly nauseating? that's the smell of squashed worms. see, if you were drowning in your house, you'd want out, right? well, they find a bit of salvation on the sidewalk, only to be trampled under foot by the bustling of college kicks. poor little helpful dudes.

part II will be much more unpleasant...why? because. i'm a passive-aggressive rabbit (according to a certain grizzly aka Tom Sales). and also because it can be taken the wrong way. Sorry Pamp. Again.
-" 'I think it was absolutely stupid, I've said several times. For the price they paid to rent the car, they could have had a girl.' "
This was a direct quote from the mouth of Admiral Richard C. Macke in response to a rape incident that took place in Okinawa involving three enlisted men (two marines, one sailor) and one sixth-grade girl.
This quote is not to mean that all sailors are dirty men and all marines are after little girls. I had a teacher senior year of high school who changed the way i look at a lot of things, marines being one of them, as he was once an active marine himself. Not to mention the fact that my dad was once a sailor. Nuff said.
-"Some women were too ashamed to talk publicly about their experiences in detention, afraid that they would be thereafter rejected as 'tainted,' as 'soiled goods.' Some women who had endured militarized rape felt they had no choice but to pursue a job in the prostitution industry."
This quote jumped out at me because many people think that women go into prostitution due to other unhealthy habits. Drug addiction, etc. It may often be the case that women need the money for drugs and so they become a prostitute; however this is another reason why women--most often those women in other countries where honor is valued and their behavior reflects on their husbands--run away from their families in shame due to an event that was out of their control.
-"Grabbing a stray chicken or a stray woman--it is simply what male soldiers do as they sweep across the landscape."
This quote reflects (cynically) the attitude of many of the commanding officers of the armed forces in response to the topic of prostitution and rape of local women in foreign lands.
-"As in the Philippines, national security rape in Chile was an authorized public act designed to push women back into their privatized societal roles."
This has little to do directly with the United States. It illustrates the measures foreign leaders will take to attempt to reduce the chances of women rising against the laws of the country they reside in.

does anyone else think it's possible to dislike talking, but enjoy dancing at a party? does it make the person less social or more social?

is it possible that a man can change his view of women forever by realizing they don't all present themselves the same?

i'm out to prove i've got something to prove...

peaceful loving youth against the brutality, i bit you farewell.

A person would be no less social if they chose not to dance or not to talk. It is when they dont do either or do both that they are more or less social
As for the views of women: My view would not change as a result of me knowing that all "women" don't represent themselves the same. Nor should they.

Well, in response to the woman comment...
It stemmed from the theory that a guy I know once was involved with more than one woman. Now he is only involved with one and I think it may be due to a maturity and realizing that some women present themselves differently, make themselves less 'available' I guess. And due to a woman making herself less 'available' to him, he realized there existed this other type of women. Just something I was pondering. Thank you for responding though! :O)

I observe that people who don't "talk" (without being anti-social) do so for three reasons: they are active listeners, smart in the knowledge their comments won’t' change anything so they save energy, or they are uncomfortable in social settings (anxiety).
Someone who dances in public is very comfortable in a social setting as people who don't dance (or choose to dance when liberated via intoxication) are more reserved. It is an unexpected combination to be both a quiet person and an avid dancer.

We shall see how things go, Mr. self-glorified pamp.
Maybe I can prove wrong previous impressions.
