Shhh, I'm blogging

I think I'm blogging to the choir here, maybe they are so busy reading that they cant sing praises to my writing. Not likely but I will keep the faith so to speak and try again.

I've been thinking that a woman's "purse", "handbag" to my wife, is nothing more then a toolbox and I don't know how they got away with it first, it's way to late for us men to reverse that, but imagine if you could remove all past references to the "handbag", if no one had ever thought of it, if no one had ever carried one, could we make it a "man bag"? If you think about it how much stuff would you carry around if you could? I think that's where the problem lies and how women claimed the idea as their own.

You see women put in just enough stuff, they can modify it to carry more or less depending on the situation, there are some "freak" bags out there, huge luggage like things that they still manage to keep in the "purse" category, as a rule though they do seem to have a code of conduct concerning them.

Men on the other hand would absolutely go above and beyond given the chance to carry around the "stuff" we might need. I would carry a hammer for sure, I have been in a lot of circumstances where a hammer would have been just the right thing at just the right time, "BernzOmatic", hell yeah, many a time I could have used one and did not have one handy, screwdrivers for sure, and on and on. That's the problem, "we", "men" that is do not have the willpower to make it work for us, at that point we are just carrying around a toolbox, we can't scale it down, it's not in our nature.

It's too bad to, so instead we settle for this tiny folding envelope to stuff in our back pockets, I've had hundreds of them, they all end up looking exactly the same after a few months, it doesn't matter if they are made of leather, canvas, whatever, after 2 months they all end up shaped like your ass, and smelling somewhat like where it spends it's time, I never keep money in it, but I do fill it with crap I sometimes need, beside the debit card everything else in there is suspect, the pictures are there because they are supposed to be, not because they have to be, sure I love my kids, I also see them every day and have not forgotten what they look like yet, I have never had to check my wallet pictures to make sure.

Sometimes the wife gets a hold of the wallet, I have never picked up her purse with her right there with me and started perusing through it all the while asking questions about what each and every item is, I'm not insane, I know better, they on the other hand have a need to know what every scrap of paper that you put in there is for. I don't know! I can look in my wallet right now and find shit that I have no idea what it's for or why I would keep it. Believe it or not we can have phone numbers with a woman's name on it and it can be perfectly innocent, it's true. If I had sex or an affair with every woman/girl that has ever given me her phone number I would genuinely be a man of legend.

So, all is right within our universe, woman carry around everything they think they may need, men wish we could. The next time you see a guy with a rubber band around his exploding wallet, tell him to get a purse.
