MMmmm...

I just thought I would let you all know that I love the beach. I went to a nearby one this last Saturday and spent three wonderful hours soaking in the sun and relaxing. I didn't really do anything worth writing about however here I am doing it anyway. One of my dreams is to own a beach house someday, (not to mention being fabulously wealthy and having a trophy wife):) There were a lot of people there to start with, but as the day went on many left so right near the end it was practically perfect. Also I got a little more tan so the 'Whitey' nickname is slowly going away. I don't think it will ever disappear though, my boss is too fond of it.

On the subject of nicknames, I've recieved yet another one. (Why does everyone have to have their own special name for me?) 'PonyBoy'. Not because I'm some pansy cowboy, but apparently one of my coworkers thinks I look like a character from the movie 'The Outsiders' named PonyBoy. Far to regularly it get shortened to simply 'Pony'. The worst part, I actually answer to it. NOt having personally seen the movie I have no idea if they are right or not. So if any of you, who know what I look like, have seen it let me know if they are on to something or totally off base. I know I am already, I answer to 'Pony' for goodness sakes.

I speak for all females:

All right Asaphat I'll explain a little bit about who and how. Nichole Kidman is an excellent example of a trophy wife. Beautiful, smart, rich, and a job that doesn't tie her down.

As for how, I'll get my masters, move to wherever it is she lives, meet her, woo her, and live happily ever after. :) Half the reason I'm sticking with electricity is so I can easily work anywhere, including where the stars are.

Indignant, don't worry the wife won't mind a bit. Especially considering how much of a trophy I am myself. We'll be a perfect match for each other. :)

Good thing I have the self control to not say everything I am thinking just now.

999-You are the man with the PLAN!! But if you get Nichole, I am going to have seriously KILL you cause that just would not be fair :)

As for you being a Trophy Husband, well, I will let Indignant say it all :) Hahahahahaha...

I cannot BELIEVE you want to marry Nichole Kidman. But that would be quite a trophy if you could win it/her. I suspect NK would be more of a trophy and less of a wife. Hope you have a glass case big enough, with alarms and motions detectors, and maybe you'll need a curator to handle all the tours. You could throw DJ a bone and make him the curator.

You GUYS! Do you really think everyone wants to hear about this?? It's like talking about what you wrote in your diary or something.

I am guessing Indignant is some jealous female. Watch out Wes, trophy wives are hate magnets :)

Asaphat, why wouldn't he?[in pretend land I mean. Where all the moral stuff doesn't count and everything]. She is the quintessential woman.

All of this, of course, is in the context of we DO know what morals she has, the path she has chosen, etc. So it isn't serious. Kind of like playing "if I had a billion dollars" or some other game :) Light, entertaining and airy...

Ha haha, hahaha! I am amused!

And in your defense, I think you'd make an alright trophy, 999. :-)

Well thank you Maldrich! I do appreciate that.

Indignant, I almost wish that I wasn't so sure of who you are, because then I could have a whole lot of fun with you. :) Besides, like Ryu said, what good is life if you can't have a little fun playing pretend.

Why not play pretend?

Because your real wife (whoever she may be) may not take too kindly to being compared to N.K.

Because you might have more difficulty recognizing said R.W. if your mind is filled with N.K.

And since I doubt these are really big issues with you, mostly because we are NOT your brother, and don't know your exact level of seriousness.

I just lost a long comment explaining some serious thoughts about trophy wives. Unfortunately it got lost in the ether so here's a quick recap.

Nichole Kidman is very attractive on the natural level; however there is much more to life than simply what our senses can detect.
In many of those aspects she probably wouldn't be such a trophy.

In all seriousness, I do believe there is such a thing as a trophy wife, someone who is prized, watched over, and yes even shown off. I just did a quick bible study and I would say that a wife who can be held up as an example to other women would fit the description just as well. For more specifics go read Proverbs 31:10-31. Also check out Ruth 3:11 and Prov. 12:4.

Thank you all for making this such a fun and enlightening post. Your responses are what keep me blogging.

we females are taking this way too seriously. Give the guys a break because you all know as well as I do that you talk about how cute or hot or attractive guys are...we just may be a bit more discreet.
Read the book by SE Hinton, it's way better than the movie and in my mind's eye, yes, you are close to Pony-Boy. I just hope you can fight better than him, grin.

I'm hesitant to jump into the fray here, but I just want it known that not all girls talk about guys' physical appearances. (Nor do all guys talk about girls' physical appearances.) Some are very careful about this kind of thing. It seems beneficial to err on the side of carefulness (is that a word?) and propriety. And I'm saying this to myself as well.

Wesley,

I read the outsiders and saw the movie along time ago. The movie is about friends and 2 brothers who live in I'd guess New York City... they are kinda a gang of friends... not always morally upright I think. I read the book in like 6-8th grade... it's a "secular" story... Pony Boy may be one of the brothers... who died... I don't remember... you can get the book out of the library, but I don't know if I'd recommend it. Ask someone in a public school they might know... it was part of our schooling, I was in public school at the time, to read the book.
Check it out at the library and skim alittle to get an idea of who Pony Boy is... if you want...
