Alcoholics, addicts, and overgrown children can all learn to turn it around, straighten up, get some values and find someone. While the smart money is on this guy being doomed there is always some measure of hope even right up until the end. Anybody of a sufficiently religious bent realizes that people can learn and change. The tragedy isn't that our subject can't change but rather that he probably won't.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879113783410191677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-14204543300168904972010-01-31T12:36:37.995-05:002010-01-31T12:36:37.995-05:00MissTammy,

It's a shame really, he's the little girl my mother always wanted, but my dad would have kicked his butt. Although, I do think there is a social thing with Aquarians. For example, I SUCK!! at small talk. I can have in depth converstions with friends, but casual conversations with stangers- forget about it. <br /><br />But I doubt that he'll find someone to spend his life with if he thinks of married life/normal life as boring. Hopefully, he'll find someone. But if he keeps up the attitude, he'll spend the rest of his life writing about love instead of living it.DarkGravityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553405429405311925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-65322798108582877842010-01-31T09:24:21.931-05:002010-01-31T09:24:21.931-05:00I'm thinking we'd all be better off if thi...I'm thinking we'd all be better off if this guy doesn't breed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-28515743185697746942010-01-31T04:32:30.916-05:002010-01-31T04:32:30.916-05:00He should hook up with Elizabeth Weil.

There are even men who enjoy women who trade in superficial stereotypes. Why they find them attractive is beyond me, but that's diversity for you.Robert J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12937384579138400443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-11494317905599032582010-01-30T15:49:08.865-05:002010-01-30T15:49:08.865-05:00Problem is, he comes off as a bit of an effete dan...Problem is, he comes off as a bit of an effete dandy, which will hardly set hearts racing or get "ginas" to tingle.

A man of honor in the Harvey Mansfield sense:<br /><br />"Manly men defend their turf, just as other male mammals do. The analogy to animals obviously suggests something animalistic about manliness. But manliness is specifically human as well. Many men defend not just their turf but their country. Manliness is best shown in war, the defense of one's country at its most difficult and dangerous. In Greek, the word for manliness, andreia, is also the word for courage."<br /><br />More on all that from my March 2006 blogpost "In spring a young man's fancy"<br /><br />http://bit.ly/bBjuIE<br /><br />And my December 2009 blogpost "Will Sarah Palin endorse Scott Brown"<br /><br />http://bit.ly/6ECuCQ<br /><br />Since you asked. : )Sissy Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316411260777111360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-6870517036577210352010-01-29T22:38:43.505-05:002010-01-29T22:38:43.505-05:00I had to google the "spool table", which...I had to google the "spool table", which turned out to be a kind of a low table, only round.
