another monday
Another bruiser. Life, sometimes, is very much like the juggernaut. A crushing, bruising, overwhelming force. The word juggernaut, itself is a strong masculine sounding word. It is for this reason, I think, that movie critics like to use the word in describing movies of a type. It is also used to describe a cart used in Hindu religious festivals. Supposedly devotees were known to be crushed beneath its wheels. Life can be like the juggernaut. Be careful for the wheels, fellow travelers.

I've been the victim of him becoming the "woman hater" of the century. Somehow, he's equated masculinity with rude, crude and brash...I fear that you've almost equated the same connotation...crushing, bruising, overwhelming force. But, I do like the simile you used. :)
