Blogging came highly recommended by a friend and well, you live only once so try anything twice right? But believe you me, I hadn't the darndest idea I was going to be stirring up such a hornet's nest (Heck, I didn't think anyone was even gonna read it!). I was expecting some disgruntled remarks from the men (and even my very first post did not disappoint) and I was expecting some "Yeah she is right man!" from them as well. All in good humour just like those T-shirts they wear that say," Why beer is better than women" that we aren't supposed to be disgruntled about. I mean, isn't that the fundamental law of nature, that what goes around comes around?
The hornet's nest I referred to earlier was with regard to a few things. I seem to have overlooked that everything is open to interpretations that there are different ways to view the same thing. Perspective, it is called. But that oversight turned out to be a good thing because what I was trying to offer was - perspective (in the two earlier posts) and so i embarked on a terrain less chartered. The truoble, I think, is that it is less chartered because no one wants to go there - to a place that perhaps shakes our cushy little worlds a little.
Anyway, I was banking on the cushion of anonymity that the internet so delighfully provides but then i forgot that my closest pals know the person behind the alias. And they seem worried. So to them I say, guys, they are not posts about pessimism. Infact, far from it. They are the result of random ramblings, of rap sessions held with the gals and the result of an impostor impersonating the goddess of love! They are posts from a woman who is tired of having boys tell her that true love is what Romeo had for Juliet and tired of the underlying implication. They are posts from a woman who really wishes that there were more women out there who would be more outspoken. They are posts from a woman who knows that, should there be a seriously disgruntled fella, he will have to go through you guys before he gets anywhere near me!!
My second post is not about optimism or pessimism. I wouldn't want it to be viewed in black or white. It is just perspective - to be read, ruminated over perhaps and then stashed away as some kind of an armchair analysis. I plead guilty to succumbing to rhetoric, but this was done only because I thought it would drive home a point. And was just that - rhetoric.
To PMoW, I think I sensed some concern in your comment and am hoping it was alleviated with that last sentence. As a gesture of appreication, I have tried to use punctuation in this post. But don't get used to it!!
