Males and Females, what went wrong??

Stereotyping is wrong, bad and just not something we do anymore. or should do. But thats exactly what Im going to do right now. so if you dont like stereotypes, stop reading now.

Males, who are they? What do they do? How do they think? Why are they like they are?
They come in groups, or sometimes pairs, going out scanning the club after a female prey to conquer for the night. Hunters as they are they move through the place, looking for the most unsecure, weak link with OK looks to tangle around their fingers. They pull you in to this fantasy world, acting like they like you, and do care for you. ask you questions and make you feel good about your self.
All just to take you home, use you, throw you away and start all over again the next weekend. Sometimes they are nice about it, saying I really like you, but im not ready for a relationship but would like to still see you. Dont fall for it! Its all a game! And all they want is to play the game, show you off for their friends, but they will run faster then the speed of sounds if they hear the word commitment! One word, predators!
To their defence, this usually occur in their younger, imature states of their lifes.
Once in a relationship, they can be nice, caring, lovely and just amazing. Until another prey walks past and the hunt is on again! Last night as I was thinking about it, I came to the horrible conclusion I do not know one male that has not cheated in their lifetime! And forgive me if I forgot about the one who didnt, there is always an exception to the rule.
And what about their communication issues! They dont like talking about things, feelings. They push it away, looks extremely uncomfortable once the 'we need to talk´sentence is raised. No NOT AGAIN! I just want to drink my beer a watch the footy! Not talk about feelings and shit.
If they have a problem they either ignore it or quickly raise the issue and then leave it. What do they mean when they leave it? Why dont they analyse every second of the day and every letter of everything said? I mean its not like you can belive what is actually said without reading in between the lines? Right? Which brings me to females.

OK female as I am, I should know how awesome it is to be a female! But I have to say, its pretty shit from time to time!
We come in groups as well, or pairs, normally an equal number, three is a crowd. Females do not work in an unequal number. Their own insecurity and powertrips prohibits them. Because they need one person to bitch to about the other two. If three, well there will be a lot of bitching and no one will be friends in the end. I seen it to many times, and Im sure to see it again. They know how to play the game as well. They lure the hunters in with their looks, a sense of mystery, or the old saying "im not like other girls" and Im not jelaous, I dont bitch and I think like a man!...hmm Yeah right! Lets just say some females are better then others to hide their insecurity and neediness, but its still there!
They analyse everything you say, and I mean EVERYTHING! No means yes, yeas means no and god knows what maybe means! They say everything is OK, when in reality is the opposite, they complain and say everything is shit, when things are quite god. They run on emotions, while men runs on logic. They expect the unexpected but they dont like suprises. the key is to love them, no matter what, reassure them always and try to read their minds. Easy!
And whatever you do, do not get involved in their relationships with their friends! Casue they will bitch about them, leaving the poor male thinking they are bad friends. But no, the more they bitch, the more they care. Usually. Once they are not talking about anyone, then something is really wrong!

So how are the male sex and female sex actually able to work togheter? Thats one of the world biggest secrets, but Im sure it will take a lot of patience from both sides. Males need to go out, play the field and be hunters before they settle. And females, please stop thinking you can change him! YOU CANT!
So I heard once all a male wants when they marry a girl, is for her to stay the same. She wont, change is constant. All a female wants is for the male to change into something else, and once he does, they complain its not the same man they married.
Its quite hallerious thinking these species want eachother. I know I cant live without them, neither do I want too. But if there is one thing Im sick of, it is to hide my own feelings so I can be on the same level as the male. Sometimes they just need to accept we are neurotic freaks...but we will take care of you always!

Like I said, if you dont like stereotypes this was not for you. But after discussing this with various ppl, this is the normal stereotype of males and females from there own point of view!

Sometimes it is best not to ask a question when you dont want to face the answer

Each one of us requires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best.
Harold W. Dodds


Insecurity can hit your from anywhere at any point, when you let it.
So how to we avoid it? By living in the unknown?
Perhaps that is for the best for a while.
It seems that even though we all work on it, everyone is insecure now and then.
I guess with age we learn how to be stronger, or perhaps we just learn how to deal with it.
I mean do we really just stop?


Saturday afternoon. Got up in the morning, then decided to go back to bed again for a few more hours.
Made my self a nice brekkie with mushrooms, scrambled eggs and avocado.
Having a lazy day cleaning and just being.
Feeling a bit down, but nothing that wont pass in due time.
Maybe its the low after the high so to say.

Looking at two taco bill hats in the landroom. Had a really good night there the other night. Nice food, good friends and plenty of large Margharitas!
A good celebration before exam time.
Time to get my lazy ass up and get started on the cleaning.

I belive my housemates are having a competition who can play their music the loadest, So maybe I should put mine on too!

Positivity Vs Negativity

We have all been told from time to time to lighten up, smile, be happy and think positive thoughts and everything will be OK! Law of attraction and blaha blaha.
When someone is hurting you hug them and tell them it will all be OK in the end. And we know it will, and so do they. But there is no need to rush it.
Sometimes someone says I don't think I can do this, and we reply of course you can stay positive. Because when your positive you can do anything! Right?

Why are people so scared about negative thoughts, I mean what if we really cant do anything? Or what is having a bit of self doubt from time to time just makes us human? Must of the things I have accomplished through my life have been through negativity, it makes me determined thinking I cannot do something.
And instead of having building up your hate inside you, release it in your thoughts from time to time.
After all it is a feeling and we need to acknowledge that.
As with all things, I believe balance is the key. Being a Libra I life after that statement.
Not every day are made for smiles, sometimes a smile is just not what you want to do. Sometimes you want to hate the world. As long as you just do it for a while and then get back to it again.

New research shows pessimism is on the rise. Often in life when you have been successful in something, you get over confident and expect to be successful again, forgetting how hard your worked for it. Times like this pessimism or "defensive pessimism" as its called will actually help you succeed again.

Either way at the end of the day you just have to keep it real. Create a balance, be prepared for negativity, and welcome positivity. Don't just have one or the other since they both complement each other. Its about being strategic, and use the two mindsets to your advantage. Recognizing the need of the situation. I mean can a person really be truly happy and smiling 100% of the time? And if they are, I don't want to be around when their bubble finally bursts!

2011 Germany was seen as the most positive nation in the world! Followed by Australia and Canada. The most negative was Irak, North-Korea and Pakistan. I think we can all understand why! Nothing against Germany but I found that a bit surprising, but good on them!

Self-Motivation

It takes a great deal to go out on a wander. To discover something new.
They say if your wander your lost, trying to find yourself or perhaps something else.
But just because you wander, doesn't not mean your lost. Maybe you are exactly where your suppose to be.
After all dont we all need to go on a wander from time to time?
When was the last time you tried something new, saw something you never seen before, felt something that has been hidden for a long time.
When did life become ordinary and when did we settle for that?
What happened to the curiosity and amazement we felt as kids...
The great thing about a day, is that you wake up and you dont know what doors will be open. You dont know how you will feel when you go to bed, you dont know how much will change in a course of a few hours.
You might not know until a lifetime later, how that little event on a normal day changed the course of your life forever.

People often give up, frighetened by how far it is left to go. What they dont do is stop, to see how far they already gone. The hardest part climbing a mountain, is the part just before you reach the top.
So in saying that, I will find my motivation again, take a deep breath and keep on walking. And I will enjoy it! After all, this is my life.




Yes its Hell, its hard, its challenging and exhausting. But once its done its done and we will feel better for it!

Culture

Tourism and culture has since long had a symbiotic relationship. While tourism is about traveling through distances, culture is often seen as the motivation for travel. Culture can be defined as a process, a particular way of life for a certain group of people. The two main elements in cultural tourism are the search for learning and the search for authenticity. This opens up the discussion of what is authentic and to whom. It is argued that authenticity is in the eye of the beholder. It has also been argued to be the new romanticism, where people are in quest for their spirituality and new encounters.
After I visted Melbournes Immigration museum, I started thinking about Australias long history of Immigration, and how that is connected to the culture here .
Australia as a nation is built on immigration, from the first settlers arriving in New South Wales 1788, to the convict era, the gold rush and forward to immigration today. The European settlers came in and claimed the land as their own, ignoring the fact that the aboriginals had been here for over 40,000 years. 1835 the first settlers arrived in Victoria at Port Philip Bay. From then on Victoria and Melbourne have grown into one of the most multicultural locations in the world. Reasons for migrating to Australia has been as many as there have been migrants. The journey by sea in the 19th century was often long and painful. During the 2nd world war people flew to Australia for political reasons. Others were forced to leave as in the case of Britain’s child migrants. Often forgotten, these children where sent to english colonies over the world. They where promised a better life, yet most found it difficult and grew up under rough conditions, little love and attention and often being abused. The reason for this was that Britian  wanted to keep the 'white stock' in their colonies, Australia being one of them.
Other stories reflect happiness once arriving on Australia’s shores after fleeing poverty, political unrest and social discrimination. Regardless of the reason, it is evident Immigration is as much Australia as the beaches surrounding its shores.
The one thing that stands out at the museum is the feeling of connecting with other cultures and heritages. Once leaving the visitor view Melbourne and Australia as a country of hope and happiness. The common theme throughout eras of migration was one of new beginnings. I started reflecting over my own identity, where I come from and what my family story looks like. While the stories in the Immigration museum reflect life’s and journeys of others, I could not help to think what my story would look like one day.

Story goes on

and on..........
