One more weekend to go.
School starts in a week, current work ends in a week. Maybe new work starts up. Good friends will be returning - by far the best part.
Restful weekend again. Elected to do basically nothing. Had some paper work to get done. My sister moved in. Wierd feeling since I've lived basically alone for the past year. I watched City of God. I started a novel: Pride and Prejudice of all things. And, despite picking it up primarily for literary purposes, am mostly thourougly enjoying it.
Quick thought of the day: Why do women have this propensity to believe that the wild and reckless man can be tamed? Why are there men who believe that women want a tamed man?

women want to be the one who finally got him to settle down, because the sacrifice of hedonism is proof of love. men think women want a tamed man because they fear it to be so.
Succinct first answer. Need explanation on the second.
People are stupid, and tend to believe something either because they want it to be so or because they fear it to be so, when they are believing something without concrete reasons. (Its why fearmongering gets you elected )
As to the first -
One of the secret gulity highest complements you could pay a woman is "She's the best thing that ever happened to him - she really sorted him out".
In reterospect, I dont know many women that would want a man to be "tamed" for them...proof denies faith, and love should have some basis in faith and trust.
Owen Wilson put it well in Shanghai Noon - "See, if you fence in the horse, he'll just jump it, but if you leave the gate open, he'll heep coming back..." lol
Too general for me to completely agree with but I can accept the point.
I understood the first - though I think there are more subtleties than you're either giving credit or wish to mention. :)
