I'm a man, but don't box me in!

If being a man means fulfilling all "Man" stereo types, I want nothing to do with it. I don't really watch sports, I watch some, but rarely. I don't go all goo goo over action flicks and Arnold Swartzenwhatever. Don't get me wrong I like a good action flick, but it must have some kind of substance to hold me. I do think explosions are cool, but a love story is just as cool. In fact I believe a love story is an explosion in and of itself, if we look through different goggles we might recognize it.

I love tons of guy things, or at least the guy things that fit inside of the "guy things" stereo type, but I would much rather be remembered as a guy who thinks, than a "guy who burps and farts"!
I believe a real man is a man who longs to understand, at least at some deep level, things like God, one woman, warfare, peace, emotions, and love, etc... I am not like every other man, I am similar but, very, very different. I think it would be boring if we were all sport watchin, beer chuggin, golf playin, selfserving robots. If by my having been born a man means I am one of these robots, consider me a renegade robot with a heavenly determination for transformation!
