Gentleman? What's that?

This is something that has been on my mind for quite a while, and today one of my friends on facebook (a guy) put his status as "Is it not fashionable to be a gentleman anymore?". Good question. What ever happened to gentlemen? and ladies? I know there are some, few, out there, but as I said they're few.

This really bothers me. I am a bit ashamed of my generation. Perhaps I read to many old classic books, where the men are always such gentlemen, and the women so lady-like. Now, you look at the world (at least America) and how many of the young men open your car door for you? or dress nicely? For girls too, of course. It sickens me how so many dress and act these days, it sickens me!

The other day I was talking to a girl about this guy we know, and this guy is always such a gentleman. The girl I was talking to was speaking of how he always holds the door open for her, and she said she couldn't stand it. Wait.... she didn't like him being a gentleman? What!? That, too, is sad. I know many girls who think it's weird for guys to open the door for them, or do some kind deed like that. Is it just to strange? It's not usual. It's sad. Also, aren't guys supposed to be the masculine, strong, gender that woman look to for protection? I dress/look more masculine than most guys I know. They wear skinny jeans and v-necks now and they're as skinny as ever (skinny in a bad way). I won't be surprised when the day comes that guys will be wearing skirts.

Now, look at the girls of this generation. I think it's nice for a girl to wear a dress every now and then, but the dresses most girls wear are way to short, or to low of a neck, etc. With a lot of the shirts girls wear, they might as well say " Look at my cleavage!". Whatever happened to modesty? And natural looking makeup? And a clean mouth! I shouldn't even start on cussing. I hate it.


This wasn't written very well.

Pretty much, I think I was born into the wrong generation.

This is Pointless.

This blog is pointless. Now, I have no idea what I am going to write about. But I will definitely not be surprised if I come up with something to write about, and carry on and on and on about it, and find it difficult to shut up (if it is possible to 'shut up' typing something?).

Let me see. I suppose I could talk about my life lately.
Some of my favorite ways to spend my time are: talking to my friends, listening to music, getting really into some theological idea, taking pictures, painting, and reading!

Now, I am going to talk about reading, since lately, it has been my absolute favorite. I have recently discovered - and quite glad to have!- that I love reading! Of course, I am quite embarrassed with how few good books I have so far read in my life time, but I do plan to make the number bigger in as little amount of time as I possibly can! Some books I have read recently, and enjoyed, would be: Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams (Good book(s), but I wouldn't recommend them to everyone), Leave it to Psmith - P.G. Wodehouse (I absolutely loved it! I almost never wanted to put it down. I think that just about everyone should read it. But if you are into books like, say, Twilight, you might not like it. It was written well, and it's... just a very good book.) I also really love Edgar Allen Poe stories, and Shakespeare, though of both I have read very little. I normally turn to read a story or two by them once I finish and actual book, and it's most likley I will choose Poe over Shakespeare anyday. Right now I am about half way into Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte. I think it is excellent! I am excited about reading it, I can't wait to finish it, but at the same time, I never want it to end!


Now, I have other tasks to attend to. I shall most likely write again soon. :)
