Way back in the long-long-ago of last month, I wrote an introductory post that listed a few potential topics I had in mind for future posts. I rounded out the list with, “Oh, and boobs. Gotta have boobs.” Now, I threw that in there since pdb was, at the time, doing a regular series of posts featuring some truly spectacular cleavage from the likes of Salma Hayek and Patricia Arquette. He’s since stopped; maybe Mrs. pdb wasn’t a fan, or maybe his marketing department told him it was hurting him with the “women 18 to 34″ demographic. I don’t know. Since his wife’s out of town right now and I share the late Bill Hicks’ sentiments on marketeers, I say it’s high time for him to resume the tradition.
Anyways, it occurred to me today that I hadn’t written anything about women, which is highly unusual for a 25-year-old heterosexual male. Truth be told, I’m taking a break from women. With two failed relationships in my recent past and a cross-country move looming in the near future, I made a conscious decision to take some time off. Besides, I’m job-hunting at the moment and women, as a rule, don’t see unemployment as a huge turn-on.
So, I’m afraid I don’t have a whole lot to say about women right now. I will instead link to a piece written by my late friend and fellow firearms enthusiast Mark Penman. Mark was a gun blogger back before anyone called it blogging. We never met in the flesh, but we swapped emails pretty regularly and I remain a big fan of his writing. Now, I don’t agree with every single word, and I haven’t quite reached the level of bitterness and cynicism Mark showed in this essay, but he did have about 15 years on me. Give me time.
