"Journal Writing" on Dave Barry's Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out

      I believe men have a hard time opening up about their true feelings, can work on a car that looks like it should be scrap metal for many hours,  and feel all they need to do is go to work without helping around the house. 
      Out of the traits I have listed the one that is the funniest to me is working on a junkie car for hours. It just does not make any sense to me what so ever.  The car has no seats, no engine, and no steering wheel so how can this car take up so much of someones time when it can not even be driven.
      The craziest thing is it takes him hours just to figure out how he is going to get the money just to paint the car. I ask why would you even want to worry about that when it does not even have an engine. That should be the last thing on his mind. He could be thinking about how we can go buy a new car that does not need any work at all and it will even be able to take us from here to there. He will get outside and just sand and sand the car until I go out there and ask when can we go some where. He will then get up and act like it is going to be the end of the world. It reminds me of one of my children reactions after I have told him to clean his room.
       I believe working on a car that probably will never be able to be driven to be one of the most time consuming things. I feel the car gets more attention then I do maybe that is why it bothers me so much. If I could just look like that car for ten minutes maybe my man would pay more attention to me. I guess that will not be happening any time soon.
