Man Basics: Mama

I read or heard on the Ted app about how women are good multi taskers.  All I heard was:  Another fucking excuse for men to be useless pieces of shit.

Why?  Think about your childhood.  When you was born, you were born to a loving mom, maybe or equivalent if you was lucky.  If you wasn't, fuck it, you still have no excuses.  Keep reading.

What do you remember about your mom?  Diligent, loving in her own personal way, no shit taker, always doing something whether cleaning, preparing food, making her own chocolate chips from cacao beans, from scratch, to sell to the neighborhood so they could have sweet chocolate in cool mornings.  Remember when she somehow kept carrying the load of the family and even when totally exhausted, ready to pick up a machete to protect your ass when the dogs warned of incoming unknowns, or hold you when there was a quake and you woke up scared or, when there was a firefight nearby and you was totally used to it that you slept through it, she was still there, watching, ready to hug you tightly telling you you was gonna be okay.

Sure, you might remember slightly different versions of the above but really, she done what she had to do.

The point?  You as a child grew up with the best example of a human being but for some retarded reason you don't get it.  Instead of looking carefully at those memories, digesting what it meant, you what?  You become this dumb fuck that thinks a man is a destroyer and shit kicker, sure there's time for that in a man's life but have you forgotten the face of your mother?

Honor your creator, your prime instructor and ponder on her actions.  Be a man of action, be a multi tasker, be a true friend to those around you, be kind, be loving, be ready to be more kind when things get bad.  Brutality and harshness are second nature to us, no need to over use it.  Bring it out when it truly means something, learn from your mama.

If she was here now, she would stand for you even when she knows you're a piece a shit.  Can you say that you live up to her powerful standard ... I fucking doubt it.  As long as you live, you will have your work cut out for you because a man must stop, think, process and initiate action which is difficult but not impossible.  Everything starts with one step towards the destination.

What made me think of this subject?  I was working on my truck then hit a block so instead of becoming upset, I fell back to cleaning up my area of the junk I have accumulated and loaded on my sweet mini dump truck.  This allows for me time to formulate a solution.  In all that clean up, I came across my old power washer, I tinkered with it and fixed it!

Where do you think I learn all this?
