the age old question
i just thought i'd put this on before i forgot. it's a song i got from a movie. As you can tell it is sung by a man :-P
(<- it's actually sung by Rex Harrison.)
Why can't a woman be like a man?
Men are so honest, to thoroughly square, eternally nobel, historically fair
Who when you win will always give your back a pat.
Why can't a woman be like that?
Why does everyone to what the others do?
Can't a woman learn to use her head?
Why do they do everything their mothers do?
Why can't they grow up like their fathers instead?
Why can't a woman be like a man?
Men are so pleasant, so easy to please
Whenever you're with them you're always at ease.
Would you be slighted if i didn't talk for hours? "of course not"
Would you be livid if i had a drink or two? "nonsense"
Would you be wounded if i never sent you flowers? "never"
Why can't a woman...be like you
One man in a million may shout a bit
Now and then there's one with slight defects
One perhaps whos truthfulness you doubt a bit
But, by and large we are a marvolous sex
Why can't a woman take after a man?
Men are so friendly, good natured and kind
A better companion you never will find
If i were hours late for dinner would you bellow? "of course not"
If i forgot your silly birthday would you fuss? "nonsense"
Would you complain if i took out another fellow? "never"
well why can't a woman...be like us?
Why can't a woman be like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps
Ready to help you through any mishaps
Ready to buck you up when you are glum
Why can't a woman be a chum?
Why is thinking something woman never do?
Why is logic never even tried?
Straighnening up thier hair is all they ever do
Why not straighten up the mess that's inside?
Why can't a woman behave like a man?
If i were a woman who'd been to a ball
Been hailed as a princess and admired by all
Would i start weeping like a bath tub overflowing?
Or act as if my home were in a tree?
Would i run off and never tell me where i'm going?
Why can't a woman...be like me?

Hey Jessie, I'm not sure that that question is considered "age old". I mean there's a process and red tape and paperwork and stuff that all has to go through now. The Government really is a bit of a pain. That is all.
Except for, um, how is it exactly I know you again. Your profile does not give away many secrets. Feel free to grafitti my blog at your leisure, provided somewhere along the line you let me know how I know you. Now that is all.
Ryans sister.
Sorry Jess, it's just I've never hearded anyone call you "Jessie" so I didn't make the connection, but now that I'm here and I want to save you from the evil propoganda you're "brother" "ryyarn" tends to spew forth I will come and make my commenting known here at your blog.
yes he is rather evil isn't he? but we love him anyway
i could have really confused you and said taddy. that's what ryan called me when we were little =P
Believe it or not, I actually knew that.
