"One who conquers others is strong; One who conquers oneself is mighty." I care not to conquer others, but to simply understand, and help if I may do so. Conquering myself is another story, this story; one that is sometimes not simply for me to understand.

Women and TV

There is this woman at work. She is from Slovenia. We have an Air Force base here so it is not uncommon for me to meet woman from around the World. This lady is a queen, a goddess, feminine perfection. Yes, of course, she is married and I do not come on to her. I do talk with her much and she is just so classy and elegant. This lady is full of style and grace and kindness and intelligences and all the stuff I want and more. She is confident, yet, not arrogant. Speaks her truth, yet, with dignity. Plus, she is way hot!!! The most beautiful blue eyes and dark hair and brown olive skin.

As long as I can remember, foreign woman have been my desire. Sorry, do not mean to say anything bad about American women, just my personal choice. I also much prefer women who are non-Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, black, dark hair, non-white skin. Again, just my choice. Yet, I have dated very few. 2 or 3 Hispanics, some dark hair blue eyes (yummy) but plenty of white blondes.

Any of you watch “Dancing With the Stars?” Love that show! That and “Lost” are the only ones I watch. (ok, and some sports here and there) When I watch “Dancing,” I wish it was me dancing. Anyway, that one chick who is the former Ms. America (can not think of her name right now, nor do I care, might as well be Bimbo), the blonde, the “Barbie and Ken” one, do you guys dislike her as much as I do? She thinks she is the All-American dream. Guess what, Honey, the only dream you are for me is my worst nightmare. To me, she is all that is wrong with some people in this country: shallow, self-centered, superficial, ignorant, arrogant, closed-minded, and all about youth and looks and money.

When people in other countries observe us, it is usually through the media. TV mostly. Think about what it is they see: Brittney Spears, Paris Helton, Anna Nicole. Yeah, nice. Is it any wonder these people think badly of us? Not many worse examples of a role model then Brittney Spears. Paris is a shining example of the evils of capitalism and un-supervised youth. Not saying I am perfect and of course, we have tons of good in this country, even on TV. Of course, TV just loves to make woman look bad. However, I do not think I want my daughter to be an ignorant amateur porn star. Think about it: that is how Paris got famous. You want to be know for that? You want the rest of the World to think that is how all our daughters are and our wife’s and our families? My parents would kick my ass if they saw my daughter (not that I have one) on the news drunk and stupid and…

The rest of the World laughs at us.

Got nothing against porn stars or any one who makes their own sex films. You are all free to be and do as you wish. Not everyone can be intelligent, either. Does not mean they do not have a reason to live or that are bad people.

So, what is my point? Just complaining? Or do I see a tear in the fabric of a once decent society? Maybe I am just getting old? Or maybe I am being arrogant? Or maybe I know what I want and what I do not want.

What is inside that matters. What you do that is good for all, including yourself, is what matters.
