If You're Active Regarding Men's Issues....

Just happened across a men's issues blog while setting up my own. If you are interested in that issue, I would encourage you to check out http://www.warrenfarrell.com. Warren has a PhD in political science and writes from from a pro-male perspective with a sociological slant—not the touchy-feely psycho-babble we often hear. I worked with him for about 18 years during which he published Why Men Are The Way They Are, The Myth of Male Power (my fave, with about 1000 footnotes, Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say, and Father and Child Reunion. Warren's site would provide you with some great insights and talking points.

Lighten up!!!!!

    My heavens! I really have to lighten up! 

    I just made myself all sick and nervous because I froze up when a male friend flirted with me. 

    It felt too serious for me to flirt back—like I would be leading him on, like I'd have to carry through with whatever I say! 

    Come on! Flirting is supposed to be fun, right? It isn't supposed to be taken seriously! 

    Lighten up!

Dreams about Houses

     Maybe you have a recurring theme to your dreams, maybe not. I do. It seems to be houses. I've read that those who dream about houses are trying to figure out all the 'rooms' in their personality. If dreaming about houses is about personality, then I'm stunned. My dreams are great! My houses amaze me! My rooms captivate me! Fantastical! Hidden! Impractical! Amazing! Beautiful! Are these parts of my personality?

     My houses hang onto a hillside! Sit out in the plains like a way station at a crossroads! Face a beach in a huge bay with a large city at the far end of the arc of the bay! Have many rooms, many styles of decor, many locations ... all too numerous to categorize. 

     When I was deciding on college, architecture school was tops on my list, but the money angle didn't work out so I went into math instead. But, ah, architecture! I should have gone for it! I missed out on learning how to use my creativity with colors, textures, angles, materials, uses, locations, and so much more about it. Architecture, dreams. All about houses. All about personalities. We are the designers of the 'rooms' in our houses.... Maybe it's not to late to build something fantastic!

Don't know what I'm doing here....

Okay, so this blog title was meant to indicate that I've never blogged before; but, as soon as I typed it, I got sort of a metaphysical feel about it. Interesting. 

    Like I said, I've never blogged; but like to write, so I thought this might be a good place to start. 

    I won't say much here right now (and maybe not ever!), but I wanted to at least launch this blog. 

    Maybe I'll be low key (like the "Whispers..." book I wrote) and maybe I'll rant (the Screams). Can't guess. 

    Okay, so it's about 2 hrs since the upper portion of this was posted. Just had to check in to see if I can access the system and edit things. 

So far, so good... 

Bye!
