Fifty Shades Of Confirmation Or: A Brief But To The Point Open Letter To Women

Tonight's shout out goes to the Fifty Shades novels, and the inevitable Fifty Shades sequels to the upcoming first film, for finally confirming what myself, as well as many other men have already known for quite some time now:

Try as you may to hide beneath a pristine, well kept, upright, respectable, delightfully scented, and overall pleasant veil; you women are more dark, secretive, carnal, twisted, dirty, and perverse creatures, than men will ever be.

Might be why we love you so.

Respectfully with a hand unbuttoning your blouse,

-Christopher Not Grey Cintron

#Ignorance #Hypocrisy #Glasshouse

There are some among us who seem to think that, because of their high level of intellect, of their ability to be a "problem solver", to be able to lead a group, that they themselves are incapable of needing advice or, even worse, taking their own.
Within the past seven hundred and thirty some odd days, several key events took place in my life, many that had been caused by myself, as well as several other key individuals within my circle at the time. Many of these events were not the easiest to endure. Many of the connections between the key individuals were either damaged greatly, or altogether severed. I cannot say that I am joyed over that fact. However, I also cannot say that said key events weren't absolutely necessary in order for all of us to reach the point that we are at currently.
There was an attempt or two by some of those involved to mend connections; to reconcile differences, to grow and to move forward. I myself have been among both the attempters and the "attemptees", if you will.  Surprisingly, yet, not so surprisingly, not everyone acquiesced. Rather, they seem to have made up their mind about only considering themselves, not doing so much as even trying to listen to what the other party has to say, or to consider the emotions, thoughts, feelings, or experiences that only they know about. It was an opportunity to reenforce something that should have held together much stronger than it actually did. It is a shame, and the most I can do is pray for them, and for mine. As the title of this entry suggests, I do have my opinions about the ones who are too proud to see more than just one side of a story. Better yet, who are too proud to put the past aside and forgive, regardless of who the guilty party is. But I'm sure those aren't terms that they're not already familiar with. If it quacks like a duck...
