Duderonomy!

There should be a book called Duderonomy. It would explain to our prettier counterparts why Dudes do the things they do. Why we pretend we cannot feel pain, why we do things to cause ourselves pain, and why we generally do both in front of attractive women.

Here I will outline some of the themes this book could contain. Such as an entire subsection on why all guys think they are Houdini, Evel Knievel, and Thor rolled into one. You know, that moment when we bet we can untie ourselves from a chair while jumping over a car. And of course we yell and talk in our deep God of thunder voice while we do it.

This book would definitely discuss the importance of fire and explosions in a guy's life (I think all men are direct descendants of the vikings). Maybe it could also cover why all guys think they are (or pretend they are) pyrotechnicians. I think we have all blown up or burned up something we didn't need to in ways we probably shouldn't have.

Maybe Duderonomy would explain every man's fascination with fast cars and big trucks. How we enjoy the idea of controlling a couple thousand pounds of steel and plastic hurdling down the road at speeds we cannot attain on our own. Or our tendency to take our big trucks down trails and into mud holes where we get stuck or fear we will get stuck!

Most likely the author of such a book would include the Dude like tendency to tinker with stuff trying to make it work better (usually better is defined as faster or completely outside the realm of its intended purpose). After all this is why we never have remote control toys long and why our cars sound like Harleys.

And no book on guys would be complete without a chapter on our favorite topic: women. Why we want them, why we want to protect them, why we want to treat them like royalty (sometimes the latter is not associated with men however a MAN will want that. Its the BOYS that give us a bad rap). It would also talk about why some of us never seem to win any women over.

I hope this book would talk about our zeal for God. How a true man wants nothing more than to serve Him. And how God designed us to serve Him in unique ways. How we are supposed to be aggressive in our pursuit of His purpose. And how, like everything else, we want to think of ways to make His Kingdom grow bigger and grow faster!

God bless guys everywhere and God please keep us safe from our own delusions!
