People often say women don't like physical comedy. We don't get the appeal of The Three Stooges. We can't understand why bashing your friend with the nearest object is funny.
But this? I'll bet many ladies (and some men) will love this too.
Now to write an ode to those magnificent thighs.

Are you a lover?
Yes, Valentine's Day was two weeks ago. But watch this anyway.
Love isn't just between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman or a man and a man. Love is not always about romance and happily (n)ever after. Love is more than lust-fueled gropes and short-lived euphoria.
Love is ... ah, it's too complicated.
Easier to talk about what is NOT LOVE. Abuse is not love. Terror is not love. Non-consensual acts are not love. Harming and hurting is not love. Indifference is not love.
So what is love for you?

Ripping classics
The best of both worlds, indeed.
AC/DC "Thunderstruck"
Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Wicked cool cellists are wicked.

Oldie is not goldie
It is not uncommon to see sunrise/sunset couples. Yes, the kind where the dude could be mistaken as the dudette's father or even grandfather.
Case in point:
Why don't these sort of partnerships raise brows, unlike:
Is it because partnership has to be about a resource provider hooking up with the best of baby factories? After a certain age, women develop menopause and can happily throw away the birth control pills, intrauterine device, estrogen patches, etc that helps them make sure no unexpected babies pop up (or out)*. For some reason, this leads to a devaluation of women in the eye of society; conveniently forgetting the wisdom that comes with age and the inner sex goddess unleashed by freedom from getting knocked up (also, who discovered the joy of self acceptance, unlike self loathing nymphs in their twenties).
It is okay for older men to hook up with younger women, right? Men remain potent shooters of baby makers till the day they drop dead. Well, guess what?
Just 'cause you can shoot, don't mean you should.
Older fathers are more likely to pass on joyful stuff like sporadic schizophrenia (where you sometimes hear voices and may/may not go manic), osteogenesis imperfecta (where the offspring is so fragile that a strong sneeze could break a bone, kinda like this guy) and autism (it's not all like Rain Man) to their hapless offsprings. This is because the older you are, the greater the likelihood for your testicles to produce error-riddled sperms. Not to mention that fathers transmit 4 times more mutations than mothers.
And no, just because you are over 35 years old, it doesn't mean that your mutant sperm is going to produce X-Men in the next generation. Nature is cool, but it ain't a comic book.
Case in point:
Media troll and vitriolic partner.
Beauty and Daddy.
Why don't these sort of partnerships raise brows, unlike:
They hot together, no?
Both are drool-worthy, regardless of the way you swing.

I do have a predilection for this man, er ... Gambit.

This is not a book review
I've been devouring Lee Child's Jack Reacher series and am enjoying them immensely. So I tried watching the Jack Reacher movie, curious to see how they could translate it into the big screen.
*moar rant below cut*
No, my hopes aren't the level of Star Trek geeks anticipating Episode I.

Macho macho man?
What makes a male human being manly?
I am glad that I am a female. I enjoy everything about being female, from the softness of my skin, to the lushness of my body, even the insanity that plagues me when the red flag is raised. I am hugely appreciative that I can enjoy and express my emotions and no one will call me on it and scream, "BE A MAN!" I don't have to pretend to not have fear, to not have insecurities, and I don't need to hide what is percolating in my head (to a certain extend, otherwise they'll put you in a mental institution).
However, I get to do all that because I am a female. But men can't do this; especially those conditioned in a machismo culture. Unfortunately, machismo is not helping men become manlier. It cripples men from exploring God's gift of emotions and to be honest with the most basic parts of themselves. When I read about the Prophet Muhammad: about his kindness, his unabashed affection for his wife(ves) and children and grandchildren, his gentle ways, his openness of his tears; all things that are contrary to the rough and ready Arab culture of those days, I am amazed. This was a *real* man who stood for what he felt was right, enjoined righteousness and did not fear society's anger or reprisal.
My fear is that machismo is often a slippery slope that leads to arrogance, misplaced pride and violence. Quite often the violence is directed towards the weaker ones, be it women, children, and even other men.
Let's kill the machismo that is strangling men. Because they deserve better.

Lay back and relax
This is the soundtrack for you to lay back, sip a beverage of your choice and just chill.

Bah humbug
I like Matthew Inman's take on Valentine's Day. I like his Valentine cards even more.
*hums Love is All Around by Wet Wet Wet*
His hirsute highness, Monyet King, has also presented guidelines for your enjoyment of this Valentine.
Have fun!
