Looking Out For the Little Guy So I'm in

Absolutely not!
We are men, made to hunt, made from sterner stuff. Ours is the job of
protecting, surviving and of course ruling aristocratically. Ask any man. Well,
any man not in the company of a woman. You know the answer. It's instinctual.
I may not be politically correct, in fact I'm not political at all; I'm just correct.
Now that I've told it like it is, and sufficiently bolstered my male ego, I'll quickly
get to the point before my wife catches me at the computer rather than
scrubbing the floors like she told me to do. Sorry dear!
In fact a recent report by the Council on Contemporary Families shows that
men are actually getting better at cleaning up after themselves, helping around
the house and looking after the kids. While we're not necessarily doing 50% of
the household duties or looking after the kids as much as mothers tend to, we
are definitely improving and compared to our father's generation, we're down
right progressive.
The report suggests that men's contribution to housework has as much as
doubled in the past four decades and we have tripled the time we spend on
child care in the same period.
Of course, and rather surprisingly, the amount of nagging we endure has not
reduced correspondingly. In fact there are many men who would suggest that
the nagging has increased. We've shown weakness and the women have
moved in for the kill.
It makes you wonder if our fathers actually had it right. Sitting on their ever
expanding butts, as meals, snacks, beer and chips are brought forth from the
little woman's area. Watching TV as the housework, kids, dog and life goes by
around them.
Oh what a life! At least for a day...
But to be honest, I couldn't imagine being one of those old fashioned dads that
gets home from work and expects the children clean and quiet, to be seen but
not heard, the house tidy and dinner on the table.
I revel in getting down on the floor with my son and playing the games I know
he loves, knowing which teddy is his favourite, what each new sound he makes
means, anticipating his moods and marvelling at each new accomplishment.
Dare I say it, I even enjoy changing him (please don't tell my wife!), because it
is more bonding time for dad.
Best of all I love to learn all the wonderful little idiosyncrasies that make him
who he is. Our fathers and their fathers before them missed out on some of the
true wonders of life; and while I might momentarily envy them the comfy throne,
servile wife and the right to be a gruff authoritarian, I wouldn't trade places with
them for all the tea in China.
Now about that housework: When you say the floors need to be clean enough
to eat off, we're talking about the dog eating off them right?? If so, another job
well done!

Note from Myla: Ben Jones is a terribly funny and talented guy who seems to
understand, at least more than most guys do, how women think. I don't know
him personally, but if his writing is any insight on the man behind the pen, he
gets to hang around when women finally take over the world and shoot the rest
of his kind into outer space.

I'm writing a new book entitled, "Neighbors...Now
There's a Stupid Idea"
I've had incredibly bad luck with neighbors ever since I wondered away from the
comfort of my parents nest. I cannot seem to escape the odd, eccentric,
intrusive, nosey, loud, annoying, creepy people that have surrounded me no
matter where I may have called home.
I decided to write a book about these experiences, the majority of which are
now rather humorous as I look back upon them, and just wanted to let
everybody know to keep an eye out for it in book stores everywhere.
No, I don't have a publishing contract yet, or an agent, or even a completed
manuscript for that matter, but I'm positive I will one day have a best seller on
my hands even if I have to publish the darn thing myself.
Any agents out there that would like to take a chance on me, please take a
number and get in line as I'm sure by the time you read this I will have, most
certainly, become quite selective in who I allow to represent me...
The idea behind this website is almost completely self serving. I want to be discovered and employed
as a writer, preferably a writer that is not only highly paid, but reasonably famous as well ... yes, even
more famous than I am already, which is a stretch I know, but perfectly doable.
Nearly everything here is original except for some of my favorite videos and writings found across the
Internet. I will, however, remove said pieces should they find fame and fortune while I languish in the
cold, empty endlessness of cyber-space.
On the very likely chance that you find my writings interesting, amusing or of any measurable value,
please pass me on to other social networking sites, friends, family members ... lonely inmates maybe.
Should you have a job offer you think I would care to entertain, please do not hesitate contacting me with
all the juicy details! Just forward your offer to: contactmyla@yahoo.com
Enjoy yourself and please feel free to leave a comment, suggestion or, God forbid, a recommendation
on how I might go about better pleasing you all.
P.S. In case this whole writing for a living thing doesn't work out, I do actually have a day job. Well, sort
of. I help local businesses understand this here interweb thing so they can be found online. I look for
well deserving companies that I've used before and donate my time and wealth of knowledge on how to
market themselves on the web. So, if you come across anyone I recommend, please give them a call.

This section of the website covers certain things I haven't quite made my mind
up on yet. I would appreciate any arguments for or against my latest dilemmas.
Just leave a comment in the feed back form and I will consider using your
opinion in an upcoming article, which, considering my brilliance and popularity,
could receive thousands of views, perhaps finally giving you your long sought

Nancy Grace: Love her or hate her?

So, what do you think of Nancy?
I think she treats her guest like
crap and could do more as a so
called proponent of "victim's
rights', but I haven't quite made
up my mind yet, care to chime
in?
I'm not one of those people who ask for
donations, although I certainly could with all
the incredible information and
entertainment I provide at my site.
No, all I ask is that you pass this site along
to your friends should you find it worthy.
Also, I have written two books that you
could consider buying from this site which
would be a great way to show your support
and get something extremely valuable in
return.
The first book is on how you can build your
very own hydrogen generator to power your
car on water. I'm being serious here. You
can cut your gas bills in half with this device.
Check it out right here
My other book is on Home Schooling. It is a
complete guide on everything you need to know
to home school your children.
You can check it out right here
Both books are just ten dollars and well worth it.
In fact, I have sold over 4000 Hydrogen
Generator ebooks over the past year without a
single return.
