Trip to Istanbul. Surprise at discovering that there is more than a way to
interact in tango and also in real life.
I went to Turkey two years ago and had a great time at the milongas and all
over. I would love to go back and stay there for a month. It is curious
that I found life there to be the way it used to be in Argentina till about
10-15 years ago (before the global economy era).

What is a "Real Man" in tango.
Argentina (1880-1950) its way of seeing life reflected in tango. Should
tango be a reflection of life, if so what life, what period.
Should we draw any teachings from tango and apply them to our lives?
Weenie Dudes, Boys and their mommies, taking care of a woman.
Chivalry, Bushido and King Arthur.

Argentinean economical crises, hunger and hunting for cattle.
A technique learnt from Hollywood movies a long time ago.
What about eating canned dog food? Do you remember the news? This did not
happen in Argentina, but then there is hunger all over, even in the
countries that are not in crises.
Cans are easier to grab than running cattle, the elderly do not run fast
enough, much less if they are hungry.
The amazing thing is that there are more and more obese people as well.:)

Jealousy versus emulation.
Suspicion and insincerity.
Charm and seduction among willing partners.
Tango two or three times per week. Safety valve?.
Blessed with a life partner of his dreams.
Open door to intimacy and connection. Growing steadily in an ever widening
embrace. Now this is nice, mostly if you have a full stomach.

Some people do not like to take care of anybody much less a woman.
Some women do not want to be taken care of. What about taking care of a man?
Some women should be able to take care of themselves.
Some women should not trust men.
Some women should not surrender their independence to anybody much less to a
man.
Manuel likes to take care of his children but when it comes to women
uhm?...No way!.
People should ignore history.
Tango should have no sex. Nothing is feminine nor masculine in tango. It is
hermaphroditic?
Tango has no roles implicated in its choreography.
A man looks very masculine as a follower, jumping in the air, sitting on the
leader, doing high amagues and boleos.
A woman looks very feminine leading and offering her leg for the man to sit
for a grand finale as he raises his leg.
But even if they don't who cares? It is nice to feel the way one wants and
be accepted.
Those with male genitalia are men, even drag queens and
transsexuals...apparently.
One can deduct that those with female genitalia are...women, I imagine, I
am so confused!

Somebody has offended Colorado and what is even worse its men...in front of
the whole world or was it the men all over.
I am sorry I forgot.

Remember when in Rome, visit the coliseum where Nero and Agripina danced the
first Argentine Tango.

Peace at the milongas.
