Trending Downward

I am pretty sure that MY mind is trumping MY body. I need to find what is missing. I am trapped in MY mind. I need to get out of there. Get back into real life. Find that which makes life most enjoyable.

This is not a cry for help. I just need to get my ass moving. It is a swift kick.

Need to get back to trending up.

I don't post here enough = frustration

My body has slowed. My mind is getting slower. And I don't post here enough. I need to change that. Not sure when things will change. Not sure if that is just natural. If it is, I will be be fighting nature from now on. Maybe not on here, in posts. In real life.

Lecherous Behavior

            I have noticed that women I am friends with are much more forgiving of my lecherous behavior. I am allowed to leer. I am allowed to look at them. I am allowed to objectify them. And by some, I am even encouraged to do all the above.

            Why? No idea.

            Well I have some idea. I am sure it feelings good for one. It is meant as an appreciation. I am totally appreciating them. With my eyes.

Also, these ladies know I am not going to cross any lines. My eyes might not be respectful but my hands are always courteous and polite. All the limits will be respected.

I am aggressive and forceful in my demeanor. I am working on being dominant. But I have always respected very established limits. I always know what no means. And I always respect that.

So that mix must be comforting. Which always me a lot of leeway.

            Either way, I am glad I have some female friends who will allow me the pleasure of looking at them in a way that would otherwise be classified as rude. Hell, if someone was looking at one of these ladies this way; I would have to do something. At least tell the guy to stop.

            Do I enjoy doing it? Hell yeah!

            Not sure if every woman is like this. Probably not. This is a very liberal activity. Doesn’t mean the woman is liberal. Some that have been appreciated my libidinous deeds.

            I am glad I have outlets for my lewd behavior. And I don’t have subject it to anyone who doesn’t want it.

            I wonder if there are more woman who like to be leered at?

Sexual Mysteries Part 3

            In episode # 3, season #3 of the TV show Game of Thrones; what did Podrick Payne do at Littlefinger’s whorehouse? This is a mystery.

For those who don’t know: Podrick had 3 prostitutes paid for by Tyrion Lannister. This is as a reward for two things. One, Podrick saved Tyrion’s life in the Battle of Blackwater Bay. Tyrion’s life was in danger from an assassin paid for by either his sister Cersei, his nephew Joffrey or both. Podrick saves Tyrion. Two, Podrick is now Tyrion’s squire [edit May 2014, this season the audience finds that Pod is more of a valet than squire] and serves him very faithfully.  Just about anything that Tyrion needs, Podrick makes sure to get it.

In this episode, Tyrion is picking up the crown’s financial books from Littlefinger. Since Littlefinger works out of his brothel, they are already there in the house of ill repute. Bronn and Tyrion leave Podrick there to have his manly needs taken care of by three of the finest “ladies” in the kingdom.

Podrick returns to Tyrion’s residence afterward with all the of the money that was supposed to be used to pay for the working girls. This is much to the surprise of Tyrion and Bronn. Both of whom have plenty of experience with working girls.

None of the 3 ladies of the evening could explain what he did. Or more explicitly, the ladies would not explain what happened. And ultimately, they did not charge him.

            Why?  Who knows?

            Tyrion and Bronn grill Podrick about it. No real answers come from it. The actual conversation is cut out of the show. So the audience is not privy to what is discussed.

            Later in the next episode, Lord Varys and Ros discuss this as well. All Ros can say is that the 3 “ladies” say it was the best they have ever had. Why? No explanation. What happened? No idea. These ladies who usually are very ready to share are sudden really tight lipped.

No one actually has the formula for what actually happened. No one knows what Podrick did. I am sure that it will NOT come out in the TV episodes. Maybe it is in the books but I am not reading the books. I have no intention to do so either.  

Pros that will neither take money nor discuss the details of an encounter?!? This is very odd. I am not sure why this is.

Other than to make the TV crowd crazy. Creating another mystery for me.

This will be another mystery that will cause ME much consternation. I will wonder. Hope to find out. Only to be thwarted.

Why?!?

Only answer comes in his proper title : Pod the Sex God !!!!

Orgasm – I know it is not this simple but I have to rant about this!

            Men enjoy getting off. That is why we do it. For the simple act of getting off. Not only when we are with a woman. Men get off alone [as known as masturbation]. A lot! And a lot more than we could hope to have sex with a woman. [This is something I speak of with the utmost expertise]

            Why? Because men know something that you ladies don’t. It is up to the individual [him or herself] to get yourself off. It is a personal responsibility. Whether you are alone or with a partner or partners.

            Ladies seem to have this wrongly rom-com notion that it is up to the man to get her off. WRONG!

            I thought about this when reading the following article from Dan Savage on the Stranger online: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SavageLove?oid=16701721.

In this, you see it implied that the husband is blaming the wife for her inability to orgasms when they have sex. That implication is correct!

The wife seems to think her husband is responsible for her orgasms. That is wrong!

She [the wife] is responsible for her own orgasms. Every time she has sex, she is the only one responsible for her orgasms. Her alone; whether with someone else or alone. So her consternation about not being able to orgasms with him, that is her fault not his.

            Let me put this a different way. I have talked about male masturbation. But the same should apply to female masturbation as well. Whenever someone is masturbating no matter what sex; I think most people would say it is their own responsibility to get off when they are alone. Probably not on anyone else, right? I mean how could it be? No one else is there.

            So let’s go to the other extreme. If a woman is in a gangbang of three men or more; whose responsible for her orgasm then? The 3^rd guy? The 6^th guy? The 8^th guy? Where does it fall? I think if you ask any woman who has been in one, she will say, she was so excited she couldn’t stop orgasming.

So there is no one other than the woman herself who gets herself off. There are just other guys in the room at the same time. How many or what the guys are doing; usually the woman has no idea. Nor does she care.   She is too busy getting off.

            But guess what, it was her excitement getting things done. Not because she was attracted to every guy in the room. Not because she was in love with them. She may not even lust after the guys. She is getting off on the attraction. On the fact that the guys are there for her. Being the center of attention. That is the hook.

            Same goes for a one on one. The guy is getting himself off. But the woman is the center of his attention.

            And if she wasn’t; he would just masturbate. Trust me, it is a lot easier.

            In the end, do women enjoy getting off? I ask that because most women do not act like they do. Men could give a shit what it seems like. Men are too busy getting off.

The women I have met that do enjoy getting off, they get off in a way that is so awesome it is a great experience for all involved. So outside looking in, when a woman owns her orgasm it is AWESOME! All women need to take full responsibility for their orgasms to they can enjoy them more and every time they have sex. And stop worrying about where it was through penis in vagina sex. He obviously doesn’t or else he would ask you to stop. Has he? NO! Because in the end, your orgasm is your’ responsibility, not his.

No right answer! Hello Stranger ?

In the movie Closer [2004/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376541/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1  or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closer_(film)]
there are four main characters in the play and film. In the film they are depicted respectively by :
Clive Owen's [Not Clive Warren, Mr. Pilkington] perverted dermatologist: Larry Gray
Julia Robert's perverted photographer: Anna Cameron
Jude Law's perverted writer: Dan Woolf
Natalie Portman's perverted muse/subject/stripper/world traveler: Jane Jones/Alice Ayres
[Despite the fact that I called all the characters perverts, I really like the film. Of course, as a pervert, I am fine in the company of perverts. And like watching movies about perverts. If you have seen the blog posts, you probably could have guessed that.]

But in the whole film, there is one intriguing question, to me anyway. It is:
 

Would you rather be Alice Ayres? Or Jane Jones?

I think most ladies want to be Alice. Only because most ladies believe that Alice is the brave one. The one with adventures. The best one to be.

But the truth is, Plain ol' Jane is the one that actually experienced it all. Every bit of it. Jane is the one with the stories. The one who created Alice or at least stole her. The one that everyone can talk to.

Jane Jones is, to ME, the most interesting character.

Spank [The Fifty Shades Parody]

            So awesome! So funny! I had a great time. 

            The crowd was mostly women. I would say about 96%. But there were a few guys there. As one of them, I consider myself lucky. Even better, I actually have read all three books. I got every aspect of every joke.

            Best thing, the three person cast was interactive with the crowd. Well at least the first couple of rows. And the people they picked did amazing. It was great. The cast even knew a little about the local area it was being performed in. Maybe it personal for the audience. Took the performance up a notch.

            Plus the writing was great. So much better than the books themselves. But it was really a smart show.

            The three cast members were all good. The stand out was Suzanne Sole as E.B. Janet. They made her American as opposed to the real Brit, Erika Leonard (E.L.) James. Ms. Sole also played a bunch of other roles (Jose, the rest of the Greys and others). By far the best at acting. Then there was Michelle Vezilj as Tasha Woode or Ana Steele. She was good. Very funny because of her innocent look. Last was Gabe Bowling as Hugh Hanson or Christian Grey. He was good too. Did a great job with the physical nature of his job. I thought he worked well with the two women.

            The writing is the real star. Hit so many things that are ridiculous about the 50 Shades Trilogy. Particularly addressed the first book. There are some things  from the other two books but a lot less then the 1st book.  Stuff like:

1.      Ana not having a computer.

2.      Christian’s obsessive nature

3.      Ana's sexual and relationship stupidity which is not actual innocence

4.      E.L. James' own horniness.

5.      The low quality of the writing by 'Mrs. James' [one thing that isn't mentioned is the fact that James is a writer for BBC.]

6.      The lack of an actual plot in the books

7.      The ridiculousness of a orgasming the first time having sex

8.      Saying Inner Goddess far too often and like that means something significant

9.      Saying "Long Fingers" when she meant long penis
 

      And so many other ridiculous things. I can't even remember all the things that this parody was on point about. It was so smart. So funny. And so well done.
 

      Plus most of the people in the crowd were likely fans of the work. But I did not hear any boos or derision. Everyone in attendance seemed to be having fun. There is an ill-placed intermission. But it is mostly for a refill and stretch. Everyone was in good spirits.
 

      One good thing for the guys, you could check scores during the intermission. I went on a NCAA tournament day. Got to have priorities. Support MY girl, check. Get the results, check. Everyone happy at the end of the night, check.
 

      All in all, this was a good time. I assume ladies will go with everyone in their book club. Wearing their grey ties or masquerade masks. Guys should go too. With their ladies or without. And everyone who does go will have a good time. Have a your favorite cocktail and laugh out loud!

TV rant: Are there any show runners anymore?

     Showrunner: term originating in the United States television industry referring to the person who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of a television series.
     On certain shows right now, it is hard to figure out if anyone is functioning as a showrunner.

     Like in in House of Lies: Why did they change the way Marty Kaan acts? First the important question, where is MY crazy sex? The Marty as they established him would have had sex with someone by episode 2 of the 2nd season

     Even if Marty became a monk; the showrunner should let someone else on the team become slut. Clyde is the natural choice because he . But Guggenheim would be more interesting for a certain point of view of who he hooks up with. Or a good writer would spread the sex out amongst them.

    I mentioned the guys on the team. Jeanie is also available for debauchery. But they have her in an equally ridiculous storyline. The Marty/Jeanie thing is lame. So lame. I know they gave her character daddy issues that sabotage everything. But this is not real. It is not normal. And it is not the characters from the first season.

     But to my rant, if you write a character one way, keep them that way. Or if there is a reason for him to change, then make it obvious. Because Marty closes in business and sex. He hit on his ex wife so he wants to have sex. That hasn’t changed. So he would have moved on to someone else by now. This is crap. The showrunner needs to get things back on track.

      I am pissed about stuff like that. I wish someone would actually think, “would Marty go 2 episodes without sex?” Or just not make a show that ramps the sex down the 2^nd season. Because the result will be, this viewer will not be back for a 3^rd season unless I see some frakkin. And soon.

   Another example is How I Met Your Mother: Why have they fundamentally changed who Ted is? He is just hooking up randomly now. He isn’t looking for Love. He is just a guy in NYC. If a showrunner was keeping the stories on track, he never hooks up with random woman. Not for any reason, not even if the reason is peer pressure.

     Even when he did "The Naked Man"; that date started out as a legitimate prospect. Ted was thinking Love. At least at first. But when it broke down, then he got laid.

     Recently Ted has just been doing whatever. Not really acting like himself. Just like a normal guy in NYC. Which is not worth watching.

     Same changes to his personality happened earlier this season. An old love of Ted's named Victoria came back into his life. She was looking for marriage. But Ted was just MEH about it. No. Ted has been so desperate about his search for both love and marriage. He labored for the better part of four years to get Robin to both love and marry him. Unsuccessfully. But now Robin is getting married to Barney. WTFrak? I am not sure how these changes to the characters are occuring.

     Speaking of which, Ted is the type of guy who knows his friend’s important information. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say what he forgot. But even if it isn’t his best friend he remembers things.

     The writers are just making Ted into a 30s douche bag. Which apparently is just as bad if not worse than a 20s d-bag. That show is funny when you turn off the brain. But if you actually care about the Mother in the title, it is frakkin horrible. But at least at one point he was searching for Love. Now he is just a d-bag.

      [Also, Barney broke one of the 'bro rules'. He broke up a girlfight. Not cool.]

     At this point, I am kind of just hanging on to find out who the Mother is. But once I do, I may stop watching all together. They haven't been interesting in a while. Things need to perk up quick. Otherwise, I am off to other things.

     A good friend of mine mentioned that they [writers, showrunner, producers] may not want to let the viewers down with the "wrong" Mother. If she doesn't look the right way. If it isn't the right person. That is plausible and I agree that is the case. Otherwise, they could just have an actress know. Having a yellow umbrella all the time or a bass guitar player; they are just skirting the issue.

     Get to what is real. Write a good story. Let the viewers decide. Otherwise, the viewers will and decide to turn the channel.

More ranting. This time about 50 Shades [probably not my last]

A very good friend of mine led me to a web posting that I thought was absurd at first. Until I realized that it was actually genius. The web posting was: http://observer.com/2012/06/bret-easton-ellis-tweets-dream-team-cast-for-50-shades-of-grey-upcoming-lindsay-lohanjames-deen-thriller/

I have read all three of the 50 Shades books. But I can’t say I am expert in them. If I say something in the following rant that is incorrect, it is out of ignorance. But if you respond in the contrary, I would enjoy a thoughtful response. Just hearing that that “I’m stupid” [while it may be true] is not helpful to the discussion.

Now. I am not sure that Lena Dunham is actually the best actress for this role. Mostly because she is much stronger a person then Anastasia Steele from the 50 Shades books. Ms. Dunham is the writer, director and lead actress in her own HBO show. This is not some shrinking violet who will easily fall into the role of a naive young woman who has no real experience with either herself or life. Ana is very different even from the awkward character that Ms. Dunham portrays on “Girls”.

One thing I do know it this, Kate Kavanaugh is better looking and richer than Ana Steele. She should look like it as well. She should exude that. Both glamour and grace. A young lady with style. I am thinking someone like a young Iman or Paulina Porizkova or Heidi Klum. Kate should be model level beautiful not Ana.

While I understand and agree that Christian Grey (Xian) should be played by a male actor that has model like good looks. Guys who are being touted as possible who I agree are appropriate as guys like Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer. Xian has to be exquisite. He should look it. Act it. Be it.

But Ana should not be. She should be pretty. But not model ‘gorgeous’. While Lena Dunham is smart in the way Ana must be, witty, sarcastic and biting. She is not good looking enough to be noticed just for her looks. Also, her tattoos will probably take her out of the running for the role as well. They work for her personally but Ana does not and would not have tattoos. That is going to be a nail in the coffin.

While actresses like Alexis Bledel, Nina Dobrev, Emmy Rossum, or Emily Browning [who was Stephenie Meyer’s choice for Bella http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_(2008_film)]   is being named as potential favorite actresses to play Ana. However most of them are more appropriate for Kate Kavanuagh [or better yet Leila who will be a great character to play].

 Same with all the ladies that are being named for Ana. I am not sure though, I believe that Kate might have been blond. If so, someone like Diane Agron is cast, that would be awesome. Kate should be much prettier than Ana.

A better Ana would be Lena Dunham’s cast mate on the show “Girls” Zosia Mamet. Most might argue that Alison William or Jemima Kirke would be better.  I ask why?

Where does it talk about Ana being prettier than Kate? The only people who express interest in Ana are Xian and Jose. Outside of them, Ana is average written and should be portrayed as average. That is how the character should be played. As accurate as possible.

I am certain that Hollywood will screw it up. They so often do.

Like I said, this is all ranting. Amazing that I book I have so many problems with has enthralled me in such a way. I dislike mostly the portrayal of BDSM but also the writing and the general lack of realism in any of it. But is it a copycat of a fantasy book in the Twilight series that have many of the same attributes.

I would like to see the 50 Shades have some good movies. It is possible. Not if they stay true to the books though.
