I sense from women I&#8217;ve known well that their deepest fear is that they are not worthy of love.<\/p>\n<p>* I am meeting a lot of lawyers whose wives berate them for not working hard enough. One bloke won&#8217;t send his wife a link during the work day to an article she&#8217;d like for fear she&#8217;ll reprimand him for slacking off. I don&#8217;t want this. I want my wife to pay the bills and I&#8217;ll berate her for slacking off. <\/p>\n<p>* I&#8217;m not just a wallet that women can insert themselves into at whim. <\/p>\n<p>* I am embarrassed to have written so much crap but was encouraged to hear today that it read like a &#8220;maze.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* At work, I&#8217;m asked by a bloke: &#8220;You got any picks for my March madness bracket?&#8221;<br \/>\nI lean back in my chair, put my hand behind my head, arch my back and say, &#8220;Yeah, I took some pics for you last night.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I can&#8217;t get a straight guy out of you,&#8221; said the lawyer, &#8220;can&#8217;t get a straight answer either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* I hear a bellowing from my boss&#8217;s office.<br \/>\nI walk in and inquire, &#8220;What&#8217;s troubling you, sir?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You!&#8221; he roars.<\/p>\n<p>* David Choe was a terrific challenge Tuesday night. As the podcast host, he&#8217;s alternately brutally honest and just plain brutal, but he gave me waters and all the coconut juice I could drink and he ordered me a town car home and so I felt like a big shot at the end of the night and couldn&#8217;t sleep.<\/p>\n<p>* I get fleeting strength from the likes, comments and Klout of my FB. What&#8217;s the psychological term for this kind of propping up? I also get strength from being adored. Is this primarily histrionic PD or narcissistic PD or borrowed functioning?<\/p>\n<p>* What are the most important realizations I&#8217;ve had about women over the course of my life? Please list them out in chronological order. It&#8217;s for my new book.<\/p>\n<p>* We&#8217;re in a trade war with China and bras need to be our first line of defense. (West Wing Season 5. Ep. 15)<\/p>\n<p>* 3yo girl to middle aged folks: I feel sorry for you, you&#8217;ll be dead soon.<\/p>\n<p>* Whenever I hear my fellow Jews complaining (88% of my waking hours), and I feel like I can get away with it, I say, &#8220;This is how the Holocaust got started.&#8221; Today I said that after complaints about an un-repaired tear in the carpet.<\/p>\n<p>* I can&#8217;t imagine respecting anyone who likes Justin Timberlake&#8217;s music. And I love pop music.<\/p>\n<p>* Boss: &#8220;Is it hot in here?&#8221;<br \/>\nLuke: &#8220;Do you want me to change into something a little more comfortable?&#8221;<br \/>\nBoss: &#8220;Yeah. A noose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* Told my boss, &#8220;There is no limit to how happy God wants you to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He says, &#8220;Then why did He send you to me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* I&#8217;ve got my haircuts down to twice a year. It seems like a waste of money to have more. Now I&#8217;m ready for Passover.<\/p>\n<p>* Has there ever been a man who said, &#8220;Do you want to talk about it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* I\u2019m a doting nurturing boyfriend when I\u2019m not in the grip of my eroticized rage.<\/p>\n<p>* My girlfriends typically want to emasculate me. Makes it hard for me to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>* At what point in a relationship does a couple exchange FB\/email passwords?<\/p>\n<p>* When I was on lithium, I smelt metallic. Now I just smell like Old Spice spilt on an ancient Torah scroll.<\/p>\n<p>* With every status update, I forfeit a potential wife. My perceptions are too keen for comfort.<\/p>\n<p>* Someone just walked in with his walky talky on and I felt myself looking forward to dressing him down and saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to run a law office here.&#8221; If you&#8217;re looking forward to giving admonition, you shouldn&#8217;t, and so I didn&#8217;t, even though the guilty party is probably in this country illegally.<\/p>\n<p>* Who stands to gain in your family if you mess up your life?<\/p>\n<p>* I know too many religious people whose only interest in you is if you will adopt their religion. I loathe people like this.<\/p>\n<p>* I had such rage against girls in middle school and high school because they would always be asking me, &#8220;Do you have any gum?&#8221; And they would never offer to pay. They would just suck me dry of my gum and other goodies. Also, when girls would get mad at me, they&#8217;d punch me but I was never allowed to hit them back. This still boils me up. How come women\/rabbis can beat me but I can&#8217;t beat &#8217;em back? I need to call my sponsor. <\/p>\n<p>* My buddy asks: &#8220;What do you really get from the Jews?&#8221;<br \/>\nLuke: &#8220;Aggravation.&#8221;<br \/>\nBuddy: &#8220;You&#8217;re an anti-Semite who just wants to get close to the target.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* Luke wants to feel as excited about the good things he&#8217;s dedicated to as the selfish exploitative bad things that lured him in the past.<\/p>\n<p>* When girls are hot, they have the world at their feet. Then they hit the wall (some hit at 17, most by 25) and I feel such joy when they can no longer skate by on their looks. All these women who rejected me have hit the wall and never married.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>* My moral bank account is stuck in a Cypriot Holding Company and I can&#8217;t make the withdrawals I need. * My deepest fear is that I am not competent at life, that I am not up to its routine &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=48518\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48518"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48539,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48518\/revisions\/48539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
