Oh the Humanity

Why do radio stations, and by radio stations I am directly referring to rap stations because let's all face it they are the only stations worth listening to, insist on having a remix hour? You're cruising along at approximately 11:30 pm listening to some awesome tunes, singing along when all of a sudden it gets stuck on the same word like a DJ is spinning the hits. If you are like me this situation upsets you, and you quickly turn the channel to only be hit with the realization that the music on all other stations sucks. Frustrated, you turn back to remix hour and try to enjoy the snipets of songs you can pick out of the scrambled mess of remix hour. This really grinds my gears.

Mommy's OK, Just Keep Eating Everyone

Here's a fun topic. Children. Most of the people whom are reading this know of my opinion of small children, but to clarify/tell those who are reading this that do not personally know me (A gal can dream, right?) this is how I feel about the wonderful bundles of joy that most call children.

I have no problem with cute kids. Everyone enjoys the little girl or boy that toddles around or says the darndest things. But then there are the kids that are quite possibly directly from the loins of Satan. You know who I'm talking about. The kids that scream their heads off while in a public place or the kids that talk obnoxiously loud in church. I can partly blame this on their parents lack of discipline. I mean I know you're supposed to ignore your child's "pay attention to me" crys because they need to learn they cannot always get what they want, but when this teaching method comes at the expense of every single person within a thirty mile radius (slight exaggeration) then I am no longer supportive. Take your child outside, use violence, do anything to shut them up because you are now interrupting my dinner, and much like any normal person I would like to eat my meal in the normal conditions that are expected of a restaurant atmosphere unless you are at a steakhouse or Chuck E Cheese.

Parenting skills are a whole other topic. Most people think that they should never use violence when parenting. By violence I mean spanking. Yes, I said it. Spank your child. Personally, I believe the best way to keep your kids in check is to intimidate them. Let them know you are the boss, and you mean business! (Lewis and Daggett) If a child is intimidated by you then they will do everything they can to not upset you, ultimately making them good children. Everyone wins. Some people take this too far and become the parents that constantly yell at their children. This is what I like to call overkill, so you need to know moderation. Blasphemy, this is America, there is no moderation! Oh, but there is my friend.

By now you may be thinking, "Wow Erin, never have kids because I do not think you really understand what being a parent means." My reply to that is, I think I will be a good parent because my kids will be the ones that everyone enjoys being around. So ha! in your face reader. I hope I have not lost anyone because that was just self defense. I am not going to let your thoughts bully me. I digress, I just believe people should actually parent their children and enjoy being around them instead of trying to pass them off to their parents (the child's grandparents) because that teaches the kids that they can get away with everything. Let's face it, grandparents are huge softies. Kids need to have structure, discipline, and know that that are not in charge. At this point I am questioning my expertise because I am not a parent. This is all hypothetical parenting, so I hope this is all taken with a grain of salt.

This is all about parenting, so I will make a later post about my family of champions due to the lengthiness of this post.

No Sweety, Don't Put That There

First off, I am creating this blog to share stories and my opinions on life and current issues. Somtimes I have awesome life experiences that I need to tell the world about, and what better way to do this than to post them to a public blog? The reason you cannot think of anything is because there is not a better way. Secondly, I will only try to discuss things that I find entertaining because I do not want this blog to become something boring and dull. Everything is fair game for me to discuss. I dabble in politics, so this will be discussed. Don't like it, too bad. This harsh take it or leave it attitude has probably just cost me a reader, but I mean isn't that just how life goes? Seeing as how this is a rhetorical question I have no need to answer it or explain further so I will allow you, the reader, to ponder on what I mean by,"isn't that just how life goes?" I also enjoy music, so I am sure that at some point that will also be discussed. I am now realizing that this blog is going to become another means of procrastination for myself, but I'm not too worried about this life obstacle. I am excited for the future of this blog, and I hope that as I post stories and opinions I will get a sense of pride because I'm basically doing this for myself. I mean, we have to be realistic, few people are going to check up on this blog. These few people also know my stories, so it will be repetative for them. I apologize in advance, but thanks for the support. I am now starting to ramble, so I will cut this wonderful post off. Happy Reading
