A Right Hand is trained in so many things. These things range from activities that require strength to the most meticulous ones which require finely tuned motor skills. A Right Hand keeps on going no matter what. It will complete one task and immediately move on to the next. A Right Hand has endured so much in its life time that very few obstacles can tire it.

A Left Hand is very much so the opposite of a Right Hand, and there is no pun intended. It is a jack of all trades with mastery of none. A Left Hand very seldom completes it’s duties without having to bother the Right Hand for help. A Left Hand comes into this world with no expectations of it whatsoever. It is only when the Right Hand cannot perform that the Left Hand seriously takes over. It usually has the will power to do most of the duties the Right Hand does, but the Left Hand is more often than not too lazy to try. To sit comfortably on a thigh or in a pocket is the Left Hands natural state.

Now, who are Right Hands, and who are Left Hands?

In Roman times, most of the Germanic tribes were regarded as barbarians. The Franks were a large and powerful Germanic tribe living in Roman Gaul who have left a remarkable imprint on the world. For example, the words lingua franca means language of the Franks. To be Frank, or not beat-around-the-bush is also attributed to their style of military tactics. The Roman women envied Frankish women for their blonde and ginger coloured hair, and would often make wigs from them to wear.

The legends of King Arthur fighting the invading Germanic tribes in Britain is another example. Countless tribes such as the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, Frisians, and even the Vikings (who were also Germanic) came to the British Isles and brought their culture with them. Hordes of wariors were followed by families who farmed the land. The word England is itself derived from “land of the Angles”.

The last King of the Franks, was in fact the first King of France. This means that the modern French are in fact descended from an Old Germanic tribe.

One would be surprised to see how many countries have populations with a large Germanic origin:
Germany (obviously!)
England
Belgium
Sweden
Denmark
Finland
Norway
The Netherlands
Switzerland
Austria
France
and a lot more which I can’t think of right now.

I’m learning High German right now and it’s incredible how similar it is to English. I would definitely like to go visit the countries above and explore their cultures.

There is something about strict women that is just so attractive. Women who not only speak their mind but are tough overall too. Women who can keep not only their kids but their husbands in line too. I mean, let’s face it, there are many men who need to be kept in line too – I’m one of them.

I wanted to elaborate more on this, but I just can’t find the words right now. I think I’ll pick this up later on.

But when people use the term dream girl it often applies to just one girl. Some kind of special girl? Who knows.

I think I have two dream girls right now. They might be the same girl though, so I can’t be sure.

Not being a female myself it’s not easy to understand how a girl socially becomes a woman, but it is evident that the change is quite significant.

I suppose the same can be said for boys and men.

My cousins are all getting married these days. As soon as one is hitched the pressure moves on to the next in line. If I only look at the males, there are 2 guys before me who have to get married before I’m in the hot seat. One just got married this March and now the next is already being scratched away at. He says he’s going to wait 4 or 5 years before tying the knot with his belle, but his mom is intent on the date being much sooner.

I’ve drifted away from the initial topic but it’s weird how the girls get no pressure. How can they, right? They’re girls! They can’t just go pick a guy and get married to him, it’s more complex than that.

The young women are no doubt of more value than the young men, and they are taken care of really well when it comes to these things. A mother would be much happier complaining about her daughter-in-law than be worrying about her own daughter’s marital bliss. Ah well, now I’m rambling.

It’s as if certain individuals are made to know you. To know when you’re lying or telling the truth.

I’ll always remember this relevent quote by the character Robin Williams plays in “Good Will Hunting.”

I’d ask you about love, you’d probably quote me a sonnet. But you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell.

In this world we have no arms, no legs, no muscles, and no power. We are pawns who follow the same cycle of success and failure, of joy and heartbreak, of laughter and tears. A pawn is just a pawn. It has no name, it has no face, it has nothing. A pawn is used one day and forgotten the next. Sadly, a pawn cannot see beyond its plastic coating to know what it really is and why it exists. The proverbial saying, “Life is a journey, not a destination,” is highly incorrect. If one does not know their destination, they are just a pawn.

I think I’ve lost something very special in my life. Everyone has their own view of what is perfect, mainly when it comes to people. You meet someone who you see as a perfect person. Someone you could listen to for days on end without turning away. Someone so unique and so exquisite that you’d think they came straight out of your dreams.

When you lose something like that you’re not even at the position you were before you met them. You feel like you’ve been thoroughly mixed into the dirt. You feel like you just fell from the top of the world and landed in a huge pile of crap.

Why people do what they do is something people can never get a grasp of. Fear, expectations, and tradition are words I have begun to despise. Why fear the truth? Why do people have to suffer so that traditions can survive? It’s ridiculous.

No doubt the other person gets hurt too, but they play along like nothing has changed for them. No one can be that dead inside, no matter who you are or where you come from. People are all the same – they all need love.

Love is such a stupid word too. Love doesn’t even exist. It’s a term given to a number of concepts like loyalty, compassion, honesty etc. so that we don’t have to say all those things to one another.

When a person doesn’t get the love they want they become angry. They need to get all that anger out or they’ll end up breaking down somewhere at some random time. I need to get this poison out of me before it ruins me mentally.
