"I am the Hawk....."

I feel horrible, the time gets away from me and the blog looks vacant! SMILES for my return!

Last night I was on my television kick. Most women would probably agree that ABC launches women all night long television programming on Thursday nights. It all starts with Ugly Betty. The one women whom all women should admire and look up to. Followed by the drama of Grey's Anatomy. Anyone who hasn't tuned in -- should be! Men in Trees, the underrated but high quality eye candy show, rings up the rear in which my post today is attributed to.

Last night the show, focused entirely on opening up the crazy world of dating and relationships, ended sadly with a theme that hit a heartstring. The show, excitingly, takes place in Alaska. The wilderness and heavily abundant male population in this small town where "everyone knows your name, business, daily activites, etc...."

The relationship in mention was a new sparked long-distance relationship between a Seattle book editor and the houseboat livin "plow guy." A recent extended vacation yielded pressure for this budding couple when the houseboats fuzzy rodent inhabitant plays a little bit too much "footsie" than is welcome. Upon much arguement, the problem arises. Keep the mouse..its cold outside -- Obviously the Australian male theory versus -- kill the mouse -- it doesn't belong the very typical estrogen produced city-girl response.

Of course the rodent got the boot...in the friendly form of--catch and release back to the wilderness. Yeah! Peace, love, life -- Hooorah! Then the hawk swoops in and takes the fuzzly little guy to the next world in the form of dinner. Enter-- OOPS! Long story short -- relationship ended on -- estrogen speaks -- "I am the hawk..." relationship is over....

Now that you've been briefed -- enter my viewpoint.

In all relationships, I am pretty sure there is a dominant party somewhere. The one partner who ultimately makes the big decisions. Sure, we all like to say that there is a "team effort", but really we all know that there is a persuasive side. It is not always a certain gender as far as I'm concerned. There are men who can control and can be persuasive over their spouse-- the ones that use fists and DEMAND your attention..... the typical conclusion is that the female gender is the ultimate "persuader," the real pants wearer. I think it has to do with control. Women like to have all bases covered.

So where to you fall in: The Mouse or the Hawk?

I have decided that after years of independance, long distance relationships, and plenty of time to myself to ponder the ways of the world that I too, am a hawk. If was in the same houseboat, I would not have ended it -- come on, the man ditched the mouse. I have insecurity issues, I can say that without hear. I know that I feel more secure knowing that I have some control over the denim and lace up that belt as tight as I need it to be.

I also do not see this as a weakness, only a small dent in my perfection.
Maybe, I am a little selfish here...but hey, I am the Hawk. I'll just eat you....
