TIRED AND WEAK
I want to write a blog and since its a do-it for-me event, not sure it is necessary to justify the topic or keep on topic from a previous thread or conversation. Today, however; I am connected to my own intent and even as the title suggest: Tired and Weak, what I am really after here is a blog about tired stereotypes and weak generalizations. Follows on the footsteps of writing a blog comment to something a Fav-5 online/thoughts.com wrote about recently. Could give you the link, but will just mention: Tiggers and a blog: Thinking with your Dick. Read that and couldn’t really relate, as I am too old for the bar and dating or intercourse scene, ( social or otherwise ), and come with an old school set of rules about behavior in public, which includes the weekend and bars and sporting events, and well its rules. It covers everything.
So this is not actually a reaction to Tigger’s blog, as much as my own thoughts on everything social and men and women. And as it was said, so many books have been written on the behaviors of men and women. So obviously there is no need to rehash or regurgitate the subject. Mostly its like I said at the beginning, about tired stereotypes and weak generalizations, and about Stoney Blogger’s take of things, even when its obvious. He does not compute.
So I am thinking its the night, weekend or otherwise, and people are out. Some are there for the sexual action, always in the mood for finding someone to hook up with. Others go to just be. In the old days, a neighborhood pub or bar, and the people are regulars, and if not they seek out their own. And so there is a bar ritual and if you don’t want to be bothered, you wear your ring, flash it and say, "Married and Happy.", and usually that’s that. Sure, there is that moment of weakness thing, and people prey about the weak. Human nature. Is up to those around you, to be there for you. To Protect you from predators, when you can not.
So that is old school thinking. Not sure what happens in real life. I have been two or three times removed from The Pub/bar Scene. But mostly by the time I get to the bar or to the sports event, and there is drinking going on, I am tired and maybe susceptible to a pretty face or conversation with the young. Weak and Tired, but not relieved of my senses. And is my thinking that we know what we are doing, and why. Having said that, I come from the forever faithful school. Do you best to remain friendly and be in the moment, and at the same time: Be clear about what’s going on, and act appropriately. Ok now I will ramble about anything that comes to mind.

The do’s and don’ts of men and women, has evolved. Society has changed to the point, it is confusing and there is no longer a general rule or standard for what happens when men and women get together. Having said that, I think about being in The Stage of Individuality, where we meet things head on, deal with, and move on. Older men hitting on younger women, younger women looking for Seniors with spare change to spread around.
And we could do the generalizations and stereotypes of our view of what is going on, but in the day of all doing their own thing, unless it happens to you, is best to just ignore it. That’s my policy. Otherwise it all becomes a huge misunderstanding about what others are doing and why. So in my mind, I have banned the subject and I act as if I am oblivious. Act as if I am stoned, and best left alone. But of course, that is just one view of who I am and what I am doing and think: its all intentional.
What I do and what I am doing, mostly is well thought out. What works in today’s world. Not sure that I have a point to make here, just going on about what happens out there in the world, because individuality must be respected, and I must step back and be responsible for myself, and no other. I don’t care what others do, as long as they leave me out of it.
So its Saturday morning and is tea time for me. Doing my Meals-On-Wheels routine. Looking out the window and taking in the world that is moving by, at 60 miles an hour or more. Fast and Furious. Or fast enough to trigger momentary impressions about everything, outside. And then I have my creature comforts. And am busy eating, drinking and writing a blog. When I get tired I stop. And that is subject for another blog, about The Tired and The Weak. If its not working for you, stop and turn away, remove yourself from the conversation or situation. And remember, its not what others do, but what you do, that is important. Okay. Done.
Have a good weekend. Fall and the colors of Autumn are all around me. Makes me feel thankful for the opportunity to be out and about and in the middle of it all. Have a good day. Baseball and Football galore. And if that is not your cup of tea, drink some coffee or have a beer. Weekend. Enjoy.
