The Commander and I.

So, the Commander and I are two very complex people, I am going to try to relay to you how crazy she is and how normal I am.  First of all we have been together for Ten years, that is a pretty long time, at least long enough to finally realize why we love eachother and why we love to but heads like two Big Horn Sheep.  You see, The Commander comes from a very long line of Strong Stubborn women...  And I come from a long line of people that don't care.  You see there is a time to stand your ground and a time to just accept defeat and let her ruin.... I mean Run your life...  Seriously though, The Commander is not and has never tried to ruin my life. If anything she has been an inspiration to me for as long as I have known her.  Now, don't think that I am a big ol' softy, I am not, I just like to give her the respect she gives me.

Down to the point of this entry.  I am going to take you through our differences, and again try to prove why she is crazy, and I of course am not.

We will start with Music.  I am fairly well rounded in my Music taste.  I like everything Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, to bands like Hatebreed, Heaven Shall Burn, and even include some Hip-Hop.

The Commander HATES, Led Zeppelin, How is that even possible.  Also, she Hates Pink Floyd, I try to brainwash her all the time into loving Floyd and Zeppelin, but, she is stubborn as they get.  So, my efforts are futile, no matter how hard I try to turn her into one of my mindless drones, it just doesn't take.  I am gonna have to step it up a bit and start taping her eyelids open and make her watch, The Wall, Over and Over again, until she is Trained.

Movies, Like any woman, and yes, I do realize that I am stereotyping, but it is ok for right now. Like any woman, The Commander, loves Romantic Comedies, you guys will know them as the movies that make you wanna gag, with how un-realistic and cheesy they are.

I, on the other hand, enjoy good quality films such as, 28 Days Later, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw...  And she is still so stubborn to watch any of these quality films when presented to her.  I do not know, why, someone would not love these classic pieces of Cinema History.  I can only assume, that it has to do with the fact that she is a Woman, and has poor taste.   Also, she loves Pride and Prejudice, seriously........  Sorry I fell asleep just thinking about that movie.

Books, The Commander is quite the fan of the Sookie Stackhouse Series.  She also reads the Stephanie Plum books.  I have never read them, but just to go ahead and be judgmental, these books are not worth my time, which is now very vital that I utilize my time efficiently, being that I have no job....

Good books are, The Davinci Code, anything about War.  Also, The Sherlock Holmes stories, those are phenomenal.  She again is so stubborn, that she refuses to even attempt to read the good books that I have preselected for her, without even taking her taste into consideration.

Television, The Commander loves shows like, Teen Mom 2, Vampire Diaries, anything on HGTV, and she loves the Ghost Hunting Shows.  Seriously with all of the wonderful things on TV she chooses this dribble to watch.  I am lost at how to brainwash her into watching shows that interest me.  For instance, GOOD shows on TV are How It's Made, Future Weapons, Most HBO Mini-series, except for season 2 of True Blood, that was horrible.  I try all the time to set the DVR for my shows and I try to erase her recordings.  Somehow, she still gets them recorded.  

Anyway, those are our differences, I try to manipulate her will so that I can enjoy a life without her sappy girly interuption, but, I am still unsuccessful.


On a serious note, I am not, and have never tried to Make the Commander do what I want when I want.  I want her to be able to express herself and enjoy life as much as I do.  I just need to subliminally, train her to want me to choose everything for her.  We have had quite a few years together, and I can honestly not tell you what the secret is to making a relationship work, especially when there are so many differences.  I do know that it has taken a lot of patience on both of our behalves, and everyday presents a new challenge.  As long as we take it on head on as a team, we will make it through everything that stands in our way.

Timmy OUT!!!
