can’t is the cancer of happen

I blinked and I cured my brain. That’s how…

Can’t is the cancer of happen. Can’t is the cancer of happen.

I can’t do it.

The nike slogan doesn’t say “just try it” oh ok “just try it” no “just do it man”

but you love to party?

I mean, what’s not to love? Especially when you see how I party. It was epic. The run I was on made Sinatra, Flyn, Jagger, Richards, all of them just look like, you know, just droopy eyed armless children.

when you are resolved from the beginning

“There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything.”

an oversupply of women = more sexually permissive culture

Sex is cheap. And in a female dominated society, as the US is quickly becoming, men have the upper hand in bed. From the article “Sex is Cheap” on Slate:

…a significant number of young men are faring rather badly in life, and are thus skewing the dating pool. It’s not that the overall gender ratio in this country is out of whack; it’s that there’s a growing imbalance between the number of successful young women and successful young men. As a result, in many of the places where young people typically meet—on college campuses, in religious congregations, in cities that draw large numbers of twentysomethings—women outnumber men by significant margins. (In one Manhattan ZIP code, for example, women account for 63 percent of 22-year-olds.)

The idea that sex ratios alter sexual behavior is well-established. Analysis of demographic data from 117 countries has shown that when men outnumber women, women have the upper hand: Marriage rates rise and fewer children are born outside marriage. An oversupply of women, however, tends to lead to a more sexually permissive culture.

and

Michelle, a 20-year-old from Colorado, said she is in the same boat: “I had an ex-boyfriend of mine who said that, um, he didn’t know if he was ever going to get married because, he said, there’s always going to be someone better.”

and

And yet while young men’s failures in life are not penalizing them in the bedroom, their sexual success may, ironically, be hindering their drive to achieve in life. Don’t forget your Freud: Civilization is built on blocked, redirected, and channeled sexual impulse, because men will work for sex. Today’s young men, however, seldom have to.
