A Man of Words and Not Deeds

I've come across this 'nursery rhyme', and I had to share...

A Man of Words and Not Deeds

A man of words and not of deeds

Is like a garden full of weeds

And when the weeds begin to grow

It's like a garden full of snow

And when the snow begins to fall

It's like a bird upon the wall

And when the bird away does fly

It's like an eagle in the sky

And when the sky begins to roar

It's like a lion at the door

And when the door begins to crack

It's like a stick across your back

And when your back begins to smart

It's like a penknife in your heart

And when your heart begins to bleed

You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed

- Found in a History of Nursery Rhymes (1899) by Percy B. Green

It's a guy thing...or is it?

My sister and I were just having a conversation, and I had to share.

She just bought the new Twilight movie, Eclipse, and her boyfriend will not watch it with her. Of course, I had to question why. The reason...they sparkle. Seriously. She thinks it's more, but that's all that he will admit to.

I have my own opinions.

In my mind, guys get intimidated by good looking guys (my sister laughed at this). But really, say you say something like "Jake Gyllenhaal is hot". I bet the guy says something like "he's an awful actor" or "he's gay" or something like that. (at least in my experience ;) ) To me...its a guy thing.

And, in relation to the movie, there is CRAZY female hype about twilight, right? Most guys will either hate it as a result or deny they like it. Again .. a guy thing. With me, my fiance watched Twilight with me, as neither of us knew what it was really about at the time, and he couldn't care less for it. I tell him they get better as they go ... and I really believe this. But I think the first one lacked, a lot, and he is going to need this serious push to watch either of the other movies in the series.

Now, in saying all of this, I do realize that girls are just as bad. Take Megan Fox for example. Guys love her. She's hot. But girls hate her. It's almost that jealousy level again. That's jealousy that just doesn't quite make sense. It's just enough to make a person just that little bit insecure

At least, this is how I look at it.

I think my sister got a laugh out of the whole thing, and that's what I was aiming for.

But it makes you think. It's a guy thing...or is it?
