I GOT THIS FROM AN EMAIL TODAY AND WEIRD BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD. READ ON.
MEN AND WOMEN: THE TRUTH
THIS BLOG IS ABOUT:
LOVE | LUST | ROMANCE | LIES | PATIENCE | PSYCHOLOGY
MARRIAGE | PREGNANCY | BEAUTY | SEX | PORN | HOPE
WARNING: What you're about to read is based on hundreds of interviews,
surveys, books, and statistics I've assembled over the last few years. This
blog will piss a lot of you off. Why? Because a lot of you think you know
what love is. Well folks, I'm here to challenge that assumption. So get
your hate mail ready! And make sure you read everything! Enjoy!
FUN FACT: Most women (even the most beautiful)
are not satisfied with the way they look. Many guys
(even the drop dead ugly ones) think they're God's
gift to women.
TO THE LADIES:
PLEASE stop posting pictures that look nothing like you. Take off the big
sunglasses. Stop trying to be emo. Stop changing your hair and smiling
crooked just to hide your imperfections. If you want to post a picture that
looks NOTHING like yourself, then at least post one picture that DOES
look like you. (Preferably a picture of yourself RIGHT AFTER YOU
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING!)
I know you'll probably get less comments, but hey! At least you'll know
who your real friends are. =)
Seriously though, I know that underneath it all, you just want to be loved and
liked (and envied), but don't sacrifice who you REALLY are just for attention.
* * *
DRESS RESPECTABLY:
If you decide to wear clothes showing off half your tits, and skirts showing
99 percent of your thighs, then for goodness sake, do NOT get mad when
guys approach you for the purpose of JUST sex.
When us guys see you dressing skimpy, we do NOT think to ourselves:
"Hey. Check out that lovely young lady. She's exactly the kind of woman
I want to marry and take home to my mother."
NO. When guys see you dressed like that,
we all ask each other the magic question:
"Would you hit that?"
MY ADVICE: "If it's not on the menu, DON'T ADVERTISE IT."
If you'd like to be treated with respect, then dress respectfully.
It's not rocket science.
* * *
TO THE FELLAS:
You're not gangsta. I hate to break it to you, but REAL gangstas don't
have myspace. Stop puckering your lips for the camera to look sexy.
Stop dogging the camera like you're all hard.
That's not what REAL MEN do.
REAL MEN GIVE RESPECT TO EARN RESPECT.
REAL MEN treat women as God's creations. NOT as sex objects.
REAL MEN stick up for those who can't stick up for themselves.
REAL MEN don't get into fights just 'cus someone dogged them.
REAL MEN don't get into fights 'cus of stupid rumors.
REAL MEN fight to protect their wives and children.
REAL MEN fight injustice.
REAL MEN fight racism!
* * *
So to all the MEN and WOMEN reading this:
Please, be yourselves.
Be the REAL you. Stop trying to build up this "illusion" of what you wish
people saw you as. If you constantly pretend to be something you're not,
you'll never meet REAL friends. You'll never marry a person who loves
you for the REAL you.
* * *
FUN FACT: The smartest people in the world are MEN!
The stupidest people in the world are ALSO men!
Women tend to be more balanced when it comes
to intelligence and skills.
WHY?
Because the human brain is divided into two hemispheres (the left
hemisphere and the right hemisphere), AND while women use both
hemispheres, men tend to use ONE side more than the other.
This would explain why
WOMEN ARE BETTER AT MULTI-TASKING.
I cannot count the number of times I've seen a woman talking on her
cell phone, doing her makeup, and changing a CD...
ALL WHILE DRIVING HER CAR!
MEN, ON THE OTHER HAND, THINK IN A BOX.
If you're telling him to do something while he's watching football
(or playing Halo), he won't remember what the hell you told him.
This MIGHT seem like a bad thing, BUT being able to think
about ONE thing at a time makes him a DEEPER thinker.
Ever wonder why most philosophers are MEN?
* * *
OUR DIFFERENCES BRING
BALANCE TO EACH OTHER:
MEN are usually laid back.
This helps a woman loosen up when she's stressing out.
Women are usually more organized.
This helps men when they're procrastinating too much.
(Ladies, you can call yourselves procrastinators all you want,
BUT you can never out-procrastinate a guy. TRUST ME.)
MEN are usually more calm when something BAD happens.
This is good for women because they tend to panic more easily.
MEN can sometimes be very insensitive.
WOMEN are usually more compassionate and caring.
Don't believe me?
Let a random man hold a baby,
and the baby will probably start crying.
Let a random woman hold a baby,
and the baby will probably start laughing and smiling.
Most women want a man to win/earn their heart.
Men like to compete and WIN.
MEN are stronger physically.
WOMEN are stronger verbally.
So, to all the men reading this:
USE your strength to protect women and raise children.
Don't use your strength to abuse and take advantage of them.
As for the women?
USE your words to build up and encourage men and children.
Don't use your words to gossip and nag about everything.
God has created BOTH men and women with unique traits. As we live with
one another, we must learn how to find BALANCE in our strengths and
weaknesses. We must learn how to work together and LOVE one another.
ADVICE FOR MEN:
Women LOVE affection. So learn to show your appreciation with gifts
and well-planned dates! BE CREATIVE. Roses, candy, and stuffed
animals WILL get old after a while. When a woman complains to you,
it doesn't necessarily mean she wants you to give her advice.
Sometimes she just wants you to SHUT UP and LISTEN!
ADVICE FOR WOMEN:
Men WANT respect. Sometimes all a guy really wants to hear is:
"I believe in you" or "I know you can do it."
Learn to show your appreciation for the little things he does.
Sometimes he REALLY does try to be considerate, but you
just don't notice.
ADVICE FOR BOTH:
Respect the little differences. And be sure to RESPECT THE SPACE!
Sometimes we all need some time to just BREATHE. Men, let your woman
go to Forever 21 with her girlfriends. Let her watch Oprah without constantly
repeating how "gay" the show is. AND ABOVE ALL ELSE:
PLEASE... don't talk back when she's on her P-E-R-I-O-D.
Because if you do... May God have mercy on your soul.
AND ladies? Let your man play some Halo 2! Let him watch the Lakers!
Let him fart in his hand and cover it over his homie's face! (Because ladies,
i know some of you do the SAME exact thing when guys aren't around. ;P)

Temptation 1: ROMANTIC COMEDIES
Don't get me wrong! I LOVE movies like "A Walk to Remember,"
"The Notebook," "Love Actually," "The Little Mermaid," and
"Serendipity," BUT if you think great LOVE STORIES can be
found this easily... you're sadly mistaken.
Temptation 2: LOVE SONGS
Do any of these songs look familiar? =)
Believe it or not, movies and music can really influence you.
FOR EXAMPLE:
A good horror movie will keep you up all night.
Listening to Lil' Jon will make you want to sock someone's face.
Likewise, romantic comedies can make you THINK you're in love when
you're really not. They can make you BELIEVE "everyone's falling in love
EXCEPT you." As for love songs, they will either keep you depressed (if
you just broke up with someone), or tempt you into hooking up with
some random guy/girl who's nowhere NEAR ready for a relationship.
Temptation 3: PORNOGRAPHY
Hey fellas. I know most of you think "there's nothin' wrong with a little
Jenna Jameson after a hard days work", but... I disagree.
When you're done watching porn and you've finished
"laying the smackdown" on yourself, you are left with
more than just sticky hands and wadded up kleenex.
You are left with images BURNED into your mind.
You can go to internet explorer and hit "CLEAR HISTORY"...
You can locate your Limewire folders and delete all your videos...
You can even throw out all your Playboy mags and hardcore xxx tapes...
Regardless, the images will still haunt you.
When you're having a simple conversation with a close female friend,
you begin to imagine THEIR FACE on the bodies of your favorite
porn stars. You don't mean to, but "you can't help it."
It becomes harder to stay faithful to your girlfriend/wife.
It becomes harder to concentrate when you're around women.
You begin to think you're "in love" when you're actually just horny.
This MIGHT seem like a joke for you, but if you're seriously struggling
with porn, and find yourself watching it everyday, check out this website:
This site is not only helpful, but really funny!
You see... Whether you admit it or NOT. the more porn you watch,
the CRAZIER your addiction becomes. It starts off with regular porn,
but then you get tired of it. Suddenly, you find yourself watching
bestiality, lolitas, hentai, and shemales! Before you know it, you
get to the point where you're watching girls peeing and crapping
all over each other! SO PLEASE...
FIGHT IT. THIS KIND OF STUFF
CAN REALLY MESS YOU UP.
IT DESTROYS MARRIAGES
ALL THE TIME.
* * *
Women are great liars. As good as they are at lying to
others, they are even better at lying to themselves.
STUPID LIES GIRLS SAY:
"I can't help it! I'm in love!"
"I can change him!"
"But he needs me!"
DESPERATE HOUSE LIES:
"If you really love me, you won't leave me!"
"If you breakup with me, I'll kill myself!"
"If you leave me, I'll hurt you!"
"I'm pregnant!"
* * *
Some of us take our HEART BREAKS to another level by immediately
hooking up with another person after we just broke up. This is our
desperate attempt to get our ex jealous OR to forget the pain.
This explains why SOME people get addicted to clubbing,
partying, drinking, and getting high. They're NOT trying
to "just have fun"...
THEY ARE DESPERATELY AVOIDING REALITY.
THEY ARE RUNNING FROM THE PAIN OF THEIR PAST.
LADIES and GENTLEMEN, this is not love.
This is infatuation. Love does NOT make you do STUPID things.
Love is a commitment to do what's BEST for another person.
(Even if that means breaking up with them)
ANSWER THIS QUESTION HONESTLY:
Have you ever thought you were "IN LOVE,"
but later realized you were lying to yourself?
If you have... could it be that maybe...
JUST MAYBE, you might be wrong right now?
* * *
WHAT IS LOVE?
"Whoever is without Love does not know God,
for GOD IS LOVE!" --1 John 4:8
If God is Love... Then why is he hardly
the center of most of our relationships?
If God is Love...
Then why not ask HIM for advice
when it comes to understanding what TRUE Love is?
Going to anyone else is like going to a Honda
Dealership for a Volkswagen part.
MYTH: All men are jerks!
TRUTH: Anyone who believes this statement is an idiot.
There are plenty of great guys all around. These are the
guys who comfort you when jerks break your heart.
Theyre the ones who dont always tell you what you
want to hear, but what you need to hear.
* * *
WORD OF THE DAY:
incentive. Something, such as the fear of punishment or
the expectation of reward, that induces action or motivates effort.
* * *
FUN FACT: BOYS follow incentives.
If you date a boy while hes still a boy, guess what?
Hell stay a boy. This is because you REWARD HIM
before he has a chance to grow up.
BUT if you make a boy WAIT and become a MAN before
he can date you, this will eliminate the odds of you dating a jerk!
Believe it or NOT, guys who are made to WAIT are far more likely
to be faithful to you, than the average guy!
* * *
If any of you "NICE GUYS" are reading this blog, and you can RELATE to
what I'm saying, then here's some words of encouragement for you:
"Nice guys DON'T finish last.
They LAST to the finish."
If a girl passes you up because she wants to date a GUY
that her girlfriends think is cuter, then it's HER LOSS.
DON'T rush into random relationships in hopes of eventually finding
the right person! BE PATIENT. Let God write your love story.
See. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a LOVE STORY filled
with twists and turns, than a bunch of failed relationships full of
MISTAKES, LIES, and DECEIT!
So...
SLOW DOWN people.
Let Go and Let God!
* * *
MY ADVICE: "Don't date someone unless you consider marrying them."
"WHAT?!? BeeJay!!!
Have you lost your mind??"
Let's sit and think about it. When you date someone, YOU might think it's
"just for fun," but there's no way of predicting FEELINGS that might
eventually grow. What if you FALL for someone, and they don't fall
for you? Who gets hurt?
What if you date someone for fun, sex, and scamming,
and they end up falling for you? Now they're the one who gets hurt?
In other words,
make sure you choose carefully who you date because FEELINGS
are involved. If you play with feelings, you can REALLY hurt someone.
In fact, some of you are STILL hurt because of a few people you've dated.
So take dating seriously. PLEASE.
MY ADVICE: Don't "play" hard to get. BE hard to get!
Having a great "LOVE LIFE"
means MORE than finding the right person.
You also have to BE the right person!

spiritual reveries: THE PASSION
I was able to watch a rerun of Fr. Jerry M. Orbos, SVD’s Palm Sunday Recollection on TV the other day. The salient points of his sermon that hit me was about passion or our lack of it. I was not just touched. I was floored.
I agree with him. It seems that people today have lost the passion or "feelings" in the endeavors in life. Passion not just in our beliefs and veneration to our Creator but also in how we have lived our life. We have perhaps succumbed to the rigors of this life. We have lost hope and accepted mediocrity. We value quantity more than quality. As the song by the Righteous Brothers goes, "You’ve lost that loving feeling, now its gone, gone, gone…woooooh"
Whoa indeed!
Do you still give your 100% in the things you do? Do you still give your best in each task? Is good, good enough or to be great is great? If in difficult times, do you just roll over and die? Or face the adversities even to the point of being a Don Quixote? Do you treat your job as if it was not a job? Or are you just a 9-5 worker who cares just about the time and the pay? When you help, do you give our hand or do offer even your arms? With outstretched arms? Or clenched fist? Do you give until it hurts or only at your own convenience? Is it really service or just a hidden agenda?
Today is a day for reflection. Let us rethink all we have done these past few years. Remember that today, on Good Friday, Jesus "gave his all" for us. He gave his 101% for us sinners and strangers. He gave his own life for us. He could have chosen not to. He could have chosen not to be humiliated. He could have chosen a less painful death. But he didn’t. He chose excruciating pain. He chose a horrible death on the cross. Without any qualms, without any regret. He knew these would happen. But chose to let it all happen. In accordance to His Father’s will. With all His love and passion.
Let us live our lives with passion again. To live our life with enthusiasm and gusto. To accept the imperfection and negativity but dwell in life’s possibilities and positivity. Life is invaluable and sacred to be lived with mediocrity. Life is so precious to just drift away wantonly. Jesus Christ gave up His life passionately so that we will live.
As the song ends, "Bring back that loving feeling, Cause it's gone…gone…gone, and I can't go on, noooo…
Here is the complete lyrics of the song:
You've Lost That Loving Feeling Lyrics
Artist: Righteous Brothers
Album: You've Lost That Loving Feeling
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it…
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone…gone…gone…wooooooh.
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.
You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone…gone…gone…woooooah
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.
We had a love…a love…a love you don't find everyday.
So don't…don't…don't…don't let it slip away.
Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please…please,
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back).
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone…gone…gone,
and I can't go on,
noooo…
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone…gone…
