Today I complained about how the men around here don’t do their share (I mean they don’t do anything) around keeping the house up. The soldier listened carefully and then told me it was entirely my fault for not commanding my troops well enough… or for that matter, not commanding them at all.

“You can’t expect a man to know what to do if you don’t tell him what to do,” he insisted. “There is no one here who won’t do whatever you want us to do but you have to come up with what it is you want us to do. Write it down! Then if it’s not done you can say, do it motherfucker, it’s just job! It’s says so right there,” he said pointing his finger at the hologram lists of chores. Now get off you ass and do what you’re supposed to do!”

When life throws you Virgo– and you’re feeling averse to actual work– read advice lists.

I’ve just discovered a new guilty pleasure:  the lists at men’s health dot com.  Oh, the laugh out loud, squirmy goodness of it all, and not ecause they’re wrong either.  There was one particular passage prefacing a list of what not to say to women that may live on my desktop forever:  “Women freak out. Often at you. Often for no discernible reason.”

There are bits where men give advice and ones where women give advice. As far as can tell they can all be replaced by advice from the movie Field of Dreams:

I have strong feelings about single parenthood and they are getting stronger every day.  There has been an enormous influx of male energy since the soldier arrived and the arrived full time and the benefits to my son are absolutely stunning.

As a woman, I have little knowledge of the secret lives of boys. I am finding out that it does not matter how sophisticated I may (or may not) be… I am not a man means I am not a man means I am not a man.

So now when the soldier shuttles my son and his friend between the houses he is privy to the fact their art teacher has a tattoo on her chest and the boys wonder if it goes all the way to her “thingies”. Think my son would ever mention such a thing to me?  ::smiles::

“I haven’t got much up there today,” I said meaning my blog.  ”But what is up there has people talking.”

“What is it?”

“The sissification of men. Women feminizing men.”

“What are they saying?”

“Various things. Deny it or some of them want balance – stuff like that.”

“I am against balance. I think men should be men and women, women and they balance each other.”

“I know that.”

“Yeah, it’s like you have two poles. One is positive, one negative and together you get electricity.  This idea that everyone is contained. Each person has everything…”

“Yeah, I know. There is no flow. You and I flow like crazy.”

“Yeah we do.”

Here’s another for the current and jarring Venus (Women) in Aries (detriment) in aspect to debilitated Mars (Men) in Cancer. It continues this conversation re: the girl trucker… Venus Tempts Mars

(graphic language below the break – Appropriate for today’s sky as far as I am concerned)

The sky is way too hard core to try to deal with so let’s not.

Mars debilitated in Cancer is squaring Venus who loathes being in Aries which amounts to love fights so here you go, a song for the times with amusing (appropriate) images to go along:

Love Stinks!

“Some girl trucker got on and got them all going. Stupid jerks.”

“What? What did she say?”

“Oh she said, I think I need to lose 5 pounds.”

I laughed.

“Yeah and some trucker said you don’t need to lose any weight. I just went by you and you looked fine to me. You only saw me from the shoulders up, she said. And then she gave her measurements and they really went nuts. They all started speeding up so they could see her.”

“Just to look at a women?”

“No, I am sure they think they are going to get laid,” he said.

“Are men that dumb?”

“Yeah, I’d say they are. The men I’ve met are mostly dumb when it comes to pussy. When it comes to pussy they have no brains at all.”

“You’d have not liked it,” I said. “Some guy was following me around the store. He even said he was following me.”"Did you tell him to piss off?”

“No.”

“Why not.”

I shrugged on my end of the phone. “Can’t say he was malicious, I guess. But he did collide with me 4 times. The 3 thirsd time he said, I’m following you. I didn’t react and then he managed to run into me one more time on the other side of the store. Hard to say it wasn’t purposeful.”

satori sent me this… it’s grand. Never mind the current lousy condition of Venus and Mars in the sky. The Moon in Taurus (love) is trine Jupiter in aspect sextile Uranus in Pisces so we may as well feeeeeeeeel good!

“That’s the hardest thing a man has ever got to do,” he said.

“What’s that?”

“Not beg a woman he loves. To be in love with a woman and she dumps you. You should never grovel. Grovel once and it’s over. You can tell her the truth… you can tell her that you love her but you must not grovel even the least little bit because if you do, you’re done. You may already be done. You may have lost her but if you grovel you will lose her for sure. If she dumps you, then you’ve just got to walk.”

I started singing the Temptations, “Ain’t To Proud… sweet darlin’”

“Yeah, they were full of sh_t. Beg a woman for anything even once and she’ll never love you or respect you again.”
