Take That, Social Engineers
Listening to some old cd's at work. I decided to conduct an experiment and listen to one entire band's complete works who formed during my lifetime, so I put on all 3 Eve6 albums and noticed something very important: Eve6 gives me rushes of adrenaline in my cubicle, the same rush I feel flying down the soccer field or driving really fast. Mostly they stand up for being a boorish guy, like in "Think Twice" where you chant "think twice 'fore you touch my girl / come around I'll let you feel the burn". Dang, that's how it used to be. And good for them for sticking up for guys who want to fight for what's theirs or even feel like they might still have the right to act macho for whatever reason (and what's more is they've been doing it consistently for more than 10 years). Today's man spends a lot of time grooming, feeling, paying attention to emotions and basically obsessing much like our fairer counterparts - I fully support an occassional return to the old man, or even a combining of the two. I'll have my cubicle-moshing as well as my scalp moisturizer, thank you very much. I'll drink my Guinness in the evening and Reisling at night. What's the point here? The point is, I am getting the message that I should aspire to hide being a man or at least be embarrassed of it, which I think is crap. What ever happened to trying to be a better person irrespective of sex? Oh, wait...it seems the last album is over and some Paul Simon just came on...what was I just ranting about again?
