Spank me!
While at work I had a chance to read the paper and it mentioned a push from our local municipal government to ban the spanking of children. I was outraged by the idea. Children today are getting away with murder and its been caused by a lack of discipline.
Now the government wants to tie the hands of parents because they think its wrong. I believe its a parents personal choice to discipline their child in a way they find acceptable and within the moral outlines of society. I am not saying a parent should be allowed to beat their child with an oar but they should be able to spank. I was spanked as a child and I turned out fine, it was not harsh or unacceptable then.
Seems these days people are getting over sensitive about the abuse of children. All throughout nature animals discipline their children with corporal punishment to teach them boundaries and wake them up from being stupid. Fight to keep our parenting in our homes everyone, if we don't what will be next?

Inside the Octagon
While watching "Rocky Balboa" last night with a friend the discussion of boxing came up and she made the comment of how she does not like the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). I was kind of confused as she noted she was fine with boxing.
I queried as to the difference and what turned her off of the UFC fighting. She noted it was a turn off because it was like 2 dogs in a cage; is that not what boxing is as well. We must remember the athletes that step into the ring or the octagon are adults and are being paid to entertain. Animals are forced into a situation where one must kill the other in order to survive, this is not the same.
These men have made a conscious choice to step into an arena and be battered for both our entertainment and for the primal glory which is hand to hand combat. Personally I love the UFC, I think its great but hey that is just one gentleman's opinion.
Keep your fighting in the ring whenever possible.

Friends
I have had many and lost many as my years have passed. Some of us never really think about our friends, where they came from, what happens when they are gone.
In life you will meet many people and become close with very few, these are called friends. Even fewer in that group will hold a strong connection to you that will last a life time. In life friends will come and go, its not until they are gone do you stop and think about them

Wrong Choice
In my life I have made lots of decisions and not all of them were the right ones. I really shouldn't say the wrong ones, they just weren't as good in hindsight. In life we all make choices and those are the things that guide our life to its final destination. Many people will ask if you have regrets and many will say yes; there are always regrets in life but they shouldn't be about choices.
Around this time last year I was given a chance most men would kill for and I blew it by making the wrong choice at the time. I suffered for the choice I made but was given another chance to make it right and again made a bad choice.
I do not know what it is about people, that we just can't seem to get it right even when we really want to. At this point in my life the decision I made still haunts me and probably always will. Regret, not sure... I know part of me does, but part of you always says that its the way things should be. If I had the chance would I do things differently... Yes.

Relationships...
Recently I heard that my former girlfriend Courtney had gotten together with a new man. For me it caused a bad mood to brew within, I am not sure why really. Later on I found out she had gotten back together with her ex and things seemed to be better.
I cannot explain why my mind works in that fashion, she gets with a new man and anger sets in; old man and all is well with the world. Relationships are truly a bizarre concept, we force ourselves into confinement with one person and then fight the natural urges we have. If we fall into these urges we consider it to be cheating on our spouse.
Only 3% of mammals are monogamous and humans are not on that list. Some people feel a sick compulsion to always be in a relationship, they cannot be alone or they fall apart. Of course I am the opposite; I can live in solitude and be completely happy. The lack of sexual intimacy would be harsh but life would be quiet and good.
If you are in a relationship make sure you are happy and enjoy your partners time and company. If not perhaps its time to run. Remember you are never alone when you have yourself.

A gift for you.
I have been on facebook a fair bit lately and a note I published seems to be getting the same response which interested me. I asked: "If you could give me anything, what would it be?"
The common answer amongst people was a career I could actually enjoy and be happy with. It seems that everyone knows how much my work means to me. I appreciate everyone who is saying it. Many people would say I wish you happiness, good health, money etc, etc... But for my friends its all about my work.
If I did not have my work to occupy my mind I would probably go insane, well more then I already have. Just a thought of how people seem to think alike.

Car Alarms... Whats the point?
During an adventure to the grocery store I heard someones car alarm going off, not a huge deal really; just ignore it. I did my shopping and came outside and waited for my ride. While outside the alarm kept going off, other people left as well and mentioned the same thing.
I started to think of when the car alarm first came out and how so many thought it was an amazing invention. We have all heard them and all wondered what the point is I am sure. The alarm sounds it doesn't contact the police and nobody cares about it. If you are a car thief you are really not going to be deterred by the alarm at all.
Home security makes sense for both protection of self, family and possessions but when they go off the police are alerted and sent to the scene. Car alarms do not have that little feature. If nothing else they are annoying and useless.
Like a presidential address, nobody is listening and nobody cares...
