Hockey Violence
I saw a news story the other day showing hockey violence; I know most of you are thinking so what hockey has always been that way and that's true but these players were 8 years old. That's right 8 years old. I was some what shocked by this, seeing two players slug it out and more jumping in, did they learn this from watching actual hockey or are we becoming more violent?
Kid sports should be about fun and sportsmanship not slugging the crap out of each other on the ice.

RCMP taser immigrant 20sec into country
If you haven't seen the news, here is the latest headline which simply blows my mind. In Vancouver, BC four RCMP officers tasered a polish immigrant in the airport. The video shows no signs of them trying to restrain him or subdue him.
My question is what happened to basic training for these officers. Can four men not take down one person anymore? I see no reason to have tasered this fellow, of course that is simply my opinion.

Step-Fatherhood Log...
Wow where to begin. Things are getting more difficult right now as my step-son is getting older and the due date for the baby draws ever closer. He is 3 and just full of attitude, this is causing somewhat of a problem in the ways of discipline because his mother and I do not see eye to eye about that. Makes me wonder how I will do with my own child.
He is a good kid, but many times I feel myself being lost or out of place with my position. I work full-time so I do not always get to see him which is upsetting but such is life. I am not his actual father so it seems odd for me to be guiding him or trying to direct him to the right path, of course perhaps there is no correct path.
Nobody ever said fatherhood would be easy, but step-fatherhood has to be 100x harder.

Generational Gap: Technology
Working in a cell phone store has shown a new light to the world of technology and the older generations. Our generation has no problem adapting to the new technologies that have come out and cannot wait to get more of them.
A lot of our more senior customers ask for a simple, nothing fancy cell phone just for emergencies; we tell them this does not exist. Its not their fault that its not there its simply a gap in technological understanding and to some degree needs. The question I keep asking myself is why do we have such a huge gap between our generation and the senior generation? These people grew up during the boom of technology, many new things were coming out; of course now there is new stuff everyday.
Would classes help, perhaps a slow down in technology or perhaps simply making basic items for those who really only need an emergency phone.
Food for thought,
