-"Another Brick In the Wall" by Pink Floyd

Right now, I am wearing this uber cool long sleeved t-shirt that is black with the sleeves being red that just happens to bear the name "Pink Floyd: The Wall" in red letters. Oh, how I love this band's great songs, especially, "On the Turning Away." I could be wrong on the title but I know it's on the album, "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason." A great friend whom I lost to alcoholism turned me onto that album and I never looked back. Pink Floyd is as good as its albums sold tell you.

You wanna know what's funny to me? I've yet to see the movie version of Pink Floyd's The Wall but I do know the basic premise of it. I, too, was taught by some very strict teachers and ordered how to think with religion being the sole reason for doing anything. It took me so long to get away and to realize how repressed I was. Nuns can be so mean in Catholic school, in uniform or without.

Someone told me I have an interesting outlook towards women's periods. Well, I am fine with knowing about them. You could say that 3 years of Diaryland helps desensitize a guy's fear of them because even Kristan laughed at how fearful I was in seeing a string hanging down between her legs.

It's amusing to me when I read a warning that goes like this: "If any guys are reading this, I'm going to discuss tampons...." I usually giggle a bit and prepare myself for learning something new.

Surprisingly, nothing is new. I've figured out that no sane girl out there would use generic tampons or pads that cause discomfort. I mean, we are talking about one of the most sensitive areas, right? Everyone shout, "Pearl Glides!"

Oh, I'm a goof-ball and proud, baby. After years of being chased with tampon boxes (Erica used to get mad at me when I was in her living room acting like such a shit when drunk that she told me to meet her in the hall to which I find her wiggling a tampon in my face), I guess you can say that I grew up. Then again, I practically lived with quite a few girls in my dorms that weren't afraid to get down with me in the room on a discussion on them.

Don't get me wrong. I can be humorous about tampons and pads as any guy can get. Women laugh at us guys when it comes to morning wood and I welcome it. Jen would play with it in some way or Kristan would insist I walk to the bathroom with it so she can watch. Humor can be found in all places so penises and vaginas bring all sorts of jokes. The best is hearing those words to describe the moment periods happen: "Monthly bill" or "A visit from Aunt Flo" are hilarious but I'm sure y'all know more.

Now, I have never ever seen a used tampon or pad and I never want to. Ugh. There are people that find me diary under things like that hoping for pics so I kind of get weirded out that there is a need to see them. It's even sicker when you hear of guys or even lesbians that suck on used tampons for a sexual treat of some sort. Seriously.

There is a movie due out soon from France that stars the well known porn star, Rocco. In it, he plays a homosexual guy that is enticed by a straight woman (played by an ex-model). According to a website I read, the model is said to remove her used tamon, place it in a bowl of water, and then obtain glasses for the two of them to drink said water. I'm not quite sure if I am interested in seeing such a scene but the female director (yes, it's obviously going to be female) is so good and controversial.

I'm hardly squeamish but I do tend to faint at moments where I have to give blood. The last two times, I fainted in the elevator in front of a lot of people while my dad tried to hold me up and when I just collapsed in a chair in front of a little kid staring at me. The funniest thing is that I remember so clearly how I felt like I was actually awake during those moments and viewing them from a 3rd person's viewpoint. Seriously.

One point I'd like to make perfectly clear is that I'm very respectful of women. You sure as hell cannot chalk it up to the nuns that taught me in school because all they said to me was that women were whores if they desire sex. My mother is a very strong woman that thinks for herself even if I see a bit of repression within. Kristan taught me not just in pleasuring but also to respect the female anatomy as well as to enoy it's sexuality. Add that up with many girls that have come and gone throughout my life in how they got me to think and you have me. I love women but my heart only goes to one.

So, I do surprise myself and even laugh at my past in which my high school girlfriend would tell me she had her period but what did I do? I stuck my fingers in my ears to avoid knowing. Now, I welcome knowing but I do occasionally curse the sex gawds because 3-4 days without sex just sucks, as juvenile as it sounds. Also, there is the possibility of me getting my head chewed off over the tiniest things.

Men everywhere: "Ya think?"
