The Politics of Obsession

As my fiance will readily tell anyone who asks, I am one of those guys who cannot help but acknowledge beautiful women. Walking down the street, flipping thru a magazine or watching a movie, if I see hotness, I will more often than not, mention the fact that there is hotness to be recognized. I love women. What can I say. As crappy of a movie as it was, the Mel Gibson film, The Man Who Loved Women was like some kind of fantastical life story for me. The only difference is that there is no way in hell that I would end up with Helen Hunt. I mean, come on. Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. Why not Bonnie Hunt? But I digress.

So I have to say that I am a very lucky man because not only does my fiance put up with me, she is also hot. Hot like the women I point out in the VS Catalog, or while watching Padme on Top Chef. But I do have to watch it sometimes, just to not cross over that line of noticing and into a full blown lecherous old man position. It is a tough line to hold to sometimes, but I try.

I was sitting at my desk, doing a bit of surfing during my lunch and I came across new pictures of Megan Fox. There was a bit about the new movie she is going to be in this summer. Zombie dance hall girl or something like that. Honestly, I did not read the article too carefully. Really now, it's not like it was politics or policy or something important. It was an article on Megan Fox. But it got me thinking about what some people would call my obsessive attraction to beautiful women. I started to do a quick count of all of the Megan Fox photos and articles that I had seen in the last month. If you took the number of articles, with full color pictorials included, added them all up, you would think that Megan Fox has a dozen films coming out in the next 2 or 3 months. Article after article. Picture after picture. There was even a little gif. file that so very sexily displayed Megan Fox, looking all hot, sitting there pulling up her skirt. And then there is the Esquire film. I challenge you to watch it and not comment on it, one way or another. Let's just say this. Megan Fox has a wonderful life. A lot of lying around in lingerie, swimming and primping. Awesome!!

So, again, back on track. If you think about all of these articles and pictorials, the animations and movies, it is plain to see that it is not just me. It is not just me who loves beauty and women and the combination of the two. A lot of people love exactly the same things I do. And you know what? I now know that I am not obsessive about my love of women. I am not freaky or weird or sick or whatever other label some might attach to this great hobby of surrounding myself with beautiful women. I am just like everyone else. And for someone who has always tried to be an "individual," I realize that I need to change. I don't want to be like everyone else. I like being different. I thought this was "my" thing. I guess not. So.......

I can't wait for Transformers 2 to come out!!
