Men and their thoughts...pfff!
I’ve read my share of dating advice columns and books, and the two things that stand out the most are the fact that men don’t want an available girl and they don’t want the relationship defined. These two things confuse the heck out of me. Let’s maybe dig into these and see what is going on…
First of all, Men don’t want a girl who is available. Let’s think about this for a second…if they aren’t available, how are they ever going to get the girl? Do they want a girl that already has a guy? If that’s the case I’m pretty sure it says in the man handbook that that is against all rules of man. So that’s not right. So maybe it means that they don’t want a girl that calls or can always do something? And well see, that doesn’t make sense either because if they really wanted the girl, then wouldn’t they want to see her and spend time with her? So maybe it means they don’t want a girl who needs them or wants to be with them. No, no, that doesn’t work either because what’s the point of wanted something that doesn’t want you back? Nope, still confusing…
Second, what do they mean they don’t want to define the relationship? Do they just want to be friends with benefits because that is not a good situation because then you can get caught up in physical things that lead to heartache and the Clapp. Do they just want to let the girl hang there while they figure stuff out? That’s way unfair to the girl because she deserves someone that wants her and needs her back. Do they want a relationship with no expectations or boundaries? Because that doesn’t work either because then its not really a real relationship.
I guess maybe what they mean by these things is that they don’t want a whining and needy girl and they don’t want to be reminded all the time about what their relationship is because it ruins the fun of the relationship and you spend more of your time talking about what your deal is rather than just being with each other. And it is about the chase and what you can “get.”
Well, if this is the case, guys, let me fill you in on something. Women don’t do these things. And if they do, maybe they aren’t the woman for you. We don’t want a needy and whiny guy. We don’t want to constantly be talking about what relationships really mean. Perhaps with our girlfriends, but not to you. So whoever is writing these self-help dating books and articles, I’ll let you in on a little secret – free of charge! When you find someone that is interested in you and you’re interested back. Take if for what its worth and have fun seeing why God has placed this person in your life. If it comes to the point of talking about what you are – talk about it and get it ALL out in the open. Then when you have questions later, they might have been answered already, or, you’ll already feel free to talk about it. As for the chase…it is nice to have a chase, but only when you know where they other’s heart is at. Granted I’m not relationship expert, but that’s just a little tip from me to you!

Pirate who doesn't do anything!
I am currently the pirate who doesn't do anything. I am a procrastinator to the core and need help! Seriously, do you think procrastination is a disease? How do we learn the procrastination is okay? We've always been told in school that if you procrastinate, you will never get anywhere in life. Well, i'm here, and i've procrastinated my way to the top.
I was thinking too, i could never be homeschooled! Oh man, could you imagine...further your education on your own...and not really given any constraints as to how to do it. Yeah, maybe that's why people who are homeschooled at some point in their life are so laid back. They have no worries in the world because they never had to worry about dealines or anything like that. Do you think most of the homeschoolers are procrastinators?
Maybe because they have no time limits...they don't procrastinate because it really is their future in THEIR hands. So much to think about, and yet, i don't care...i'll think about it later.

Love Connection
Peanut butter and jelly. Eggs and bacon. April showers and May flowers. Eric Clapton and his guitar. Brandon and Minnesota. All things that go together, yet were apart at some point.
Lately I’ve been wondering why certain things are brought together in this world – why God places things together. I guess it just makes me wonder. What if God decided to place peanut butter and beef stew together? I’m pretty sure people would be sick if this was a popular pair. Or what if He decided to place Brandon and Iowa together? Then we’d all have far less respect for him now than we ever had. But that’s just it, he didn’t place these things together. He has created these pairs for a specific purpose.
Although I’d love to know why these things are together, I don’t think it is our job to understand God’s thinking. I do however, think it is our job to notice God’s work in our lives – to not question it, but respect and obey His will in our lives.
I thank God that he didn’t put beef and peanut butter together. I thank him that he didn’t place Brandon in Iowa (who wants a relative from Iowa anyway?). I thank Him that he put my friends in my life. But mostly, I just thank Him for this life, for His love, for his will in my life.
