Metsastrophe

I don't know why, but for some reason I am a Mets fans (most of you are now thinking that this explains it all). The Mets are a perfect example of our current society and where our country in particular and the West in general are heading.

Apparantly the Mets, a professional baseball team in the biggest sports market in the world, managed to pretty much go bankrupt. They still are not admitting that they are bankrupt, since they are probably waiting for a bailout, or two.

This all started at the end of last year when the Wilpons wanted to see if anyone wanted to become a 25% owner with them, but not have any decision making control of the organization. After all the recent news that has come out they will be lucky if they can sell the Mets for the 800 million that Forbes says they are worth, considering the more than 400 million that the Times says the Mets are in debt.

The Wilpons somehow managed to HALOC the heck out of a professional sports team to a tune of more than a half billion dollar (pretty much like a large chunk of the population did with their houses). It is so bad that Citi (the one that needed tax dollars to not be closed down) now wants to take its name off the ballpark.

This has gone from ridiculous to preposterous, and I know that somehow the taxpayer will end up holding the bag in the end (remember that near 500 million dollars of tax-exempt and taxable bonds issued by the city's Industrial Development Agency were used and a few hundred million was additionally added by state and the city just to finish the stadium).

A Woman's Perspective

The below is a link to a great article from the Spearhead by one of their female readers.

http://www.the-spearhead.com/2010/10/10/the-modern-womans-self-deception/

She pretty much explains, from the female perspective, the issues that the nice guy (beta) has when trying to attract a woman he believes to be his equal.

Here is probably one of the best and most painful parts of her article:

What we say we want means nothing; it’s what we do that counts. Women need to look at what (and who) they do in order to get a clear picture of what drives them, without rationalizing their “bad boy” complex. The ideal beta male most women describe as what they want is definitely practical, good for long term stability and so on, but they are in denial of their basic sexual natures if they claim to find that a major turn-on. For the good beta male, no doubt this can be very painful, probably more so than the tendency for men to have a wandering eye that can be painful to a decent woman, because it speaks to the core of who he is, not just his physical attractiveness.

Sometimes to believe something you actually need to hear it from the source. Regretfully, it is the loss of society’s mechanism to control these natural instincts in women and even in men (cheating) that has led to the good guys ending up on the losing end.

The Great Fog

Wow, it has been a long time since my last rant. Let's see if we can change that around. I have re-read my previous post and have noticed how jumbled I am in my thoughts, but I don’t think that this will change in this post since I am just beginning my journey and am right now just caught up in a wilderness of mirrors and fog.

I mean after 25 years of listening to the same drivel about doing the right things to be happy and have a good life; I have come to learn that most of that has been bull. It is probably less than 25 years but it has taken me that long to just come to accept the truth that I deep down knew all along. I feel like a guy coming out of a decade’s long comma and seeing a world completely different from the one he knew. Let me tell you friends, this is a harsh and cold world, where the old truths no longer hold sway.

I've been pretty much kept busy reading Roissy, GameForOmegas, and VoxDay; regretfully that is some pretty depressing reading, especially for what would now be classified as a beta guy. I've wanted to say so much, but then the anger and frustration rise to such a high level that putting words together that don't end up long, confusing diatribes becomes pretty difficult.

It is reading these that I see why Nietzsche went crazy when he realized modern society killed G-d. However, instead of the long ago dead G-d it is women that have now been killed for me, or at least what I now realize was my romanticized fantasy of women. I used to be that beta that put women on a pedestal and thought that would let me get with the opposite sex, but now that I have seen the truth I am like a ship without a rudder. On the one hand I cannot go back, but I don't know how to go forward.

Hopefully, the last part will change with time, but I fear this is going to be a long and painful journey. Thus is life I guess.

Lights -- Camera -- Action

Welcome to my little area of the Internet. I hope you enjoy your stay, although don't bet on it.

There is really only one point to this blog and that is for me to vent on any issue I feel like ranting on. Mostly it will probably revolve around post feminist society, relationships (or lack thereof), current events, politics, general life and hopefully some humor.

Buckle up and don't forget to comment, cause misery loves company and I love to hear other peoples thoughts and rants (even when they are about hating on me).
