Well I’m back to my blog to continue my 2 cents worth of my own personal opinions on everything & anything. I took a long hiatus due to the birth of my new daughter. So I am ready  to continue with some great topics etc…

Feel free to leave any comments & tell your friends about this place. Thank you.

I leave you with this little video on what’s a friend. Enjoy…..

PS: If Only there was a way to describe what’s a best friend. I thought I new but with age & a little bit of wisdom gained it made me re-think what I thought was once true.

There was an event recently in my city that made me this of the topic of how important fire alarms are in a home. I personally think that the more you do for yourself the better off you will be. Remember God helps those who help themselves, that always what I believe to the bottom of my soul. If people choose not to care of what they can do for themselves, then they should never cry over the spilled milk once it has been spilled,metaphorically speaking. Well anyway the story that caused me to think out this, was that there was a fire in a house and where the mother of 4 kids I think or maybe one more kid or less. Had to throw them outside her second story window into a snow bank in order to save them, they had some minor injuries but they survived. This all cause a debated over the news wires stating if she had a smoke alarm this wouldn’t have happened but then I saw this news report. Watch it and you tell me what you think! This was kind of clear about there is never a sure thing when it was to living or dieing, this is also something that I turly believe when it come to Gods will and fate. So check it out!…….

Dealing with a psychopath at work takes guts, that is the title of an article that was in my weekend newspaper that I found very interesting. It starts off by talking about what a psychopath is. It states that even the politest people have called their boss a psycho over Friday beers or while lamenting a work problem to a spouse at dinner. But few of us actually mean it. Which I agree, then it states that one person in 100 is a psychopath. Meaning that they lack a moral compass, sense of responsibility or empathy (this is a personality disorder, not a mental illness). And although they are overrepresented in the prison system, according to research by American psychologist Paul Babiak, and his Canadian counter part Robert Hare, psychopaths are also well represented in corporate environments. This is also a point I totally agree with, since I’ve been witnessing this for many years myself. Also in their book, Snakes In Suites, Babiak and Hare detail how psychopaths manipulate work environments to get what they want and how the rest of us can protect ourselves. “These individuals have charisma, they have strong verbal skills and they’re able to really weave a compelling story about themselves.” Babiak said. “They’re also quite good amateur psychologist. They can figure out quite easily the needs, desires, weaknesses, hot spots in individuals they deal with, so they tailor their conversation to begin to build what might be called emotional bonds with individuals”. So while you’ve been suspicious about the shipping-room guy with the pit stains, it might be the debonair sales consultant guy down the Aile who’s manipulating things behind the scenes. Babiak explains that while they’re effective at manipulating people-telling lies, breaking down relationships between colleagues, etc. Psychopaths aren’t smarter than the general population. They’re simply driven exclusively by their own desires, and they’ve become skilled at pursuing what they want, whether that’s someone else’s job or personal amusement. Psychopaths are easily bored and enjoy stirring the pot, Babiak says. “When a psychopath meets a new person, someone they’ve never met before, they immediately assess their utility to them. ‘Do they have some kind of technical skill that I might make use of later?’ Usually to help get them to do their work for them. Or, ‘Does this person have a connection I could take advantage of?’ Or, even more base, ‘Do they have money, power or sex that I want?’ “he said. Psychopaths are also masters at breaking down communication between colleagues, in an effort to control the spread of information to their own personal advantage. They enjoy private meetings, secret get-togethers and malicious gossip. Which again I personally see all to often, as a new employee, you might be particularly vulnerable to a psychopath – particularly one who’s well-established in an organization. “Because if they’ve been there long enough they’ve built up a network of alliances in the organization, and should the new person uncover them, or feel uncomfortable about them or, in the worst case, be perceived as a rival, then the psychopath behind the scenes again will begin to pull strings, and soon the person is in trouble with their boss or the organization.” There isn’t much a person can do to avoid a workplace with a psychopath. Even if the hiring manager is a psychopath, a would-be employee is usually too focused on their performance to notice anything fishy at an interview. But if you do find yourself in a workplace where your boss or colleague appears psychopathic, zip your lip. It’s important to never label someone a psychopath. “First of all, it pisses them off if they are a psychopath. “Secondly, you’re not a psychologist, so it’s not appropriate for you to label someone,” Babiak said. However, there are things you can do. Develop a strong relationship with your boss and your boss’s boss. Be a “stellar performer” and keep samples of your work and performance reviews. Document weird behaviour. Keep a day-timer at home where you log your boss’s antics. “Not that you’re necessarily going to out them or be a whistle-blower, but there may be a time when your boss – if he or she is a psychopath – turns on you, and you’re going to want to defend yourself.”

I am a person that loves to laugh, be it either a joke, prank or plain out slapstick comedy routine. I will laugh at anything that isn’t malicious or hurtful in intent. I can’t understand how anyone can find anything that is hurtful being physical or physiological in delivery called funny or humorous. For example I’ve  seen this video that I would like to show here, where one person is sleeping on a chair and where some guys decide that they are going to catapult him into a swimming pool and have a laugh doing it but end up it goes way wrong and they end up catapulting him somewhere further, I think a parking lot because you hear him him a parked car as the alarm goes off. To me just thinking about doing something physical to someone while there not in a conscious state is both idiotic & wrong. People so really take a moment before they end up regretting there actions. I leave this video so you can get the to see what I am taking about. If you really want to understand I good prank check my comedy site at www.jackscomedyhouse.com I posted some funny ones up.

Today I finally came across some people that really made me think to myself and say that people are getting lazier by the minute and that human intelligence is really dropping by the waste basket. The reason I say a bold comment like that is that today I had 4 different kind of clients come in with their newly purchased laptop saying that it was broken and that they couldn’t get it working. It took me 2 minutes to get it up and running, not because I consider my self smart in any way but that I can take a minute and just by plain logic and deduction see what the problem was and see that they placed the computer on sleep mode. My pet peeve is that if they just looked at there 5 page manual of trouble shooting for two seconds they would see that it’s clearly explained with pictures and all and also what really kills me is the way they got the computer into this point! Which is, that not one of them knew how to log off a computer correctly.The way they turn the systems off was with the physical off button and not by windows shut down. At work we joke around allot about idiotic people, saying to each other that there better off buying a toaster! and they should forget about anything that need a bit of effort to use. Sometimes I think back to my college years, where I had one particular teacher in my engineering class that would say to me each time I asked for some help on solving a problem. He would say to me in plain and in a simple manner, “READ THE BOOK!”. Well I found this little video that shows what kind of people are out there and that their better off buying a toaster! Worst case scenario they burn the toast.

For love or for money! If you had a choice what would you choose to marry for? That is the question. I ask this because recently I was hearing this debate on talk radio, which I wondered myself what the of the majority people would choose. They say that the percentage increases when you begin to ask people going up in age range. For example if you asked in the 20-30 years of age, they say that below 40% would choose money over love. As you go older in the 30-40 years of age, they say over 50% would choose money instead of love and over 50 years of age it becomes well over 60%. The talk radio started out the debate reading a letter that was sent in to the radio station asking for them for help. In the letter the person stated that he was fixed up on a blind date by his fiend with this girl that at first new nothing about, he didn’t know that see was rich etc…But the as the relationship was moving forward he began to find out that she & her family are wealthy, & that she was much older that what see looked. He Is 28 and she is 39 years of age, This become relevant because as they continue to date she begin to treat him to expensive gifts, trips etc….and she fall in love and asks him to marry her and also wants to have kids right away because her biological clock is ticking. The only thing is he likes her but doens’t love her and that’s why he wrote the letter asking the question is it OK to marry for money and forget love because his love will be on easy street until the day he dies..

I personally could never marry for money, not because I am above living in comfort and enjoying the good things in life. It’s just I could never be someone that was bought and kept like a person would buy and keep a pet animal. Example a bird in a cage, no-mater how large and beautiful a cage would be, there is still only one person, one master that has the key to the door etc…

I leave you this you tube video that I found that’s funny and at the same time explains a bit of the meaning behind my personal statement. So Enjoy….

I always thought that kids today have an easier time getting things then when I was growing up. Parents tend to give them everything and anything they want so that they can have an easier time with them. Place them in front of the TV or give then a video-games to play etc.. I myself am guilty of doing such things, I find myself doing these things in part trying do be a fun loving parent and also so I can get some alone time and avoid any confrontations with them etc. Ever since my son’s birth four years ago, I have noticed what a child today in this fast paced society is lacking and that’s there will to go out and explore and work for something, which will give them that feeling of accomplishment by one’s own hands and hard work etc. I myself starting working at the age of ten, I was a paperboy & a grocery delivery boy. All so I can buy what I wanted without my father disapproving of it, because I worked for what I wanted and also he made sure that I understood nothing in life is easy. Anyway I finally understand what is the hardest thing about having this gift of life that God has bestowed to the human race and that’s being a parent. So I leave you this little video that I found that can make you think before the decisions are made by both heads. Enjoy!

Well I have been noticing lately through the years that the holiday spirit is becoming less & less visible, I have notice more than usual because my related job in customer service. To this date this year I haven’t even gotten one happy holiday or merry Christmas greeting from either a customer or friend or family. All I see are people coming up to me and complaining that they have waited over 10 min and still haven’t gotten service yet , but what really pisses me off is that they complain when they see full well that I & everyone else are busy with serving other customers etc.. All I would like to really do is grab that person by the ear and explain to them that the door they just walked in swings both ways and that they can leave if they find that the wait time is to long and just stop complaining to the people that don’t give a rats ass that there waiting in a time that naturally is a busy time of the year. This is why I ponder for the good old days when friends, family really cared about getting together and enjoying each ones company like the old movies that play on TV this time of year show ” good meal,presents,music & singing etc.. I lived all that while in my youth, but now I can’t stand the crap & monotonous routine of the expected meal & gifts for the kids in the fast pace wealth driven society. I really feel sorry for this & the next generation of kids that will be growing up and missing the great warmth of what it means to have good will to all men & women. Well anyway I would like to wish everyone happy holidays and a merry christmas with a happy new year. I also found this unique song that I would like to share so please enjoy!

Recently I had a discussion about what & who is considered arrogant, which in my case I have friends , family & acquaintances that would most likely think of me as arrogant. I myself do not think I am ,which maybe a bias view but I would think, can be backed up by a clear & precise argument following the definitions & views. I feel a large amount of people mistake over confidence or warranted pride for arrogance and that is where my point is emphasized.

Arrogance Vs Over-confidence

If I asked you to walk a few meters, then turn around and walk back to where you were, could you do it? Of course you would; that’s because you did it hundreds of times before. This is exactly how self-confidence is built: by going through the same experience many times until we master it. When we’ve done enough of something, we tend to become confident about doing it.

What if you manage to succeed in doing something that others normally fail in doing? Take for example, an entrepreneur who starts a small company then succeeds in expanding and developing it until it becomes a resounding success and a profitable enterprisen. This person might end up being arrogant; he may start to think that his business ideas are perfect and that he is invulnerable to external business threats. So self-confidence is about knowing your strengths and weaknesses while arrogance is thinking that you are invincible or at least trying to appear as if you are.

Arrogance and Inferiority Complex

Sometimes the real reason for acting in an arrogant way is to hide one’s own feeling of inferiority. A person who tries to give the impression that he’s invincible may be hiding some kind of vulnerability that he is feeling. If someone claims that he is a normal good person, there’s a good chance that he actually is, but if someone claims that he is superhuman then he is probably feeling exactaly the opposite and is trying to compensate for it by appearing superior.

Well I am finally back from my 2 month hiatus , ready to give my all in my opinions etc..Sorry that I  kept my fans waiting, but I needed some time off in regaining some of my energy so that I could continue experiencing this voyage we call life. Between my job and family I was beginning to feel burnt so I decided to just relax. So now I will start with my first comment & opinion, which is at this moment in time about my city! Which is experiencing a full fledged snow storm with about 25 cm of snow fall and blowing snow hard to walk or drive. A normal person would stay at home if they didn’t have to work but being at work I begin to see the people which I call clowns coming into the store for ironic reasons. Like returning an $25 dollar item for exchange. In my mind I say to myself why would someone risk there life in a snow storm so they can exchange a $25 dollar item. I can never understand most of the people I meet in customer service, but I can and do understand the reason why society is where it’s at this moment. Which keeps on getting worst since fewer people just don’t use there head before they decide to step forward. I leave you with this little reminder of what might & can happen even if one foresee an event, so the question would be was it worth it!

This is proof that nothing can be protected 100 percent, they find someway to place security on something then someone will always find out how to circumvent the security. It’s a song & dance that goes around and around. here is an article that I found that explains what I mean.

What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet? Or would it? I just notice a news article that  stated a couple in Beijing has just named there child @ the e-mail symbol! Here is the article:

 Chinese couple tries to name baby with the e-mail ‘at’ symbol
16/08/2007 12:35:00 PM 

BEIJING (AP) – A Chinese couple seeking a distinctive name for their child have settled on the e-mail ‘at’ symbol – annoying government officials grappling with an influx of unorthodox names.

The unidentified couple were cited Thursday by a government official as an example of citizens bringing bizarre names into the Chinese language.

Written Chinese does not use an alphabet but is comprised of characters, sometimes making it difficult to develop words for new or foreign objects and ideas.

However, the letters ‘a’ and ‘t’ can be pronounced in a way that sounds like the phrase “love him,” said Li Yuming, vice-director of the State Language Commission.

Li told a news conference that the father explained his choice by saying the whole world uses the symbol to write e-mails and that “translated into Chinese, it means ‘love him,’ ”

Li did not say if police, who are the arbiters of names because they issue identity cards, have accepted or rejected the name.

As of last year, only 129 names accounted for 87 per cent of all surnames in China, Li said.

After reading this article I ask when are people going to take there child under consideration when choosing a name?I have heard some weired one’s in my life and each time I hear one like Moon Unit or Apple I feel for that child and what kind of pressure they have while growing through life. Parent should get double back for each and every-time there child suffers because of the name that was given to them.

Well I have just seen something that made me thing of a comment that the actor William Shatner once said to his fans at a star trek convention. That was the statement after seeing all those Trekkie’s in front of him, that they should go out and get a life. Well now after seeing a video of weired bunch of people on the Internet, I can say without a doubt that there is something that is a much weirder that a bunch of people admiring a way of life even if it was associated with fantasy. I leave you this video and you tell me want all you think, are these the real people that should go out and do as William Shatner once stated and that was “people get a life! Please!”.

Well there has been this long time running debate at my house with me and my wife. I believe that a little sweets are ok for a child that we shouldn’t deprive a child of life simple pleasures of having some sweets. While my wife hates giving anything that has sugar in it to our son. If I let him drink juice throughout the day she says he’s had to much sugar and becomes hyperactive. While I believe that it really doesn’t do anything to him since I don’t notice any great differences between when he has sweets to when he doesn’t. While I do believe that there is no nutritional value to sweets, I myself do love them and I can’t believe someone shouldn’t enjoy that wonderful part of the food world. While I still get a yelling from her when I give my son some sweets, since he does want sweets more that he wants regular food and that’s the hardest part when you give children sweets. You have to convice them that eating food for growth is not the same as just enjoying something sweet. Awhile back I remembered I got an e-mail from one of my friends that show a child going berserk while going to plan a game on his computer. Here is an example of what I believe most people think will happened when a child is overdosed on sugar.  Take a look and feel free to leave me  any comments!

Why do people lie? And what  is considered a lie? these are the two question that run in my mind daily. It’s a question that runs in my mind daily because daily I run into people that lie. The lies that I come across is mostly for personal gain or some will lie to try and avoid personal embarrassment. Now what is a lie? Here is what I officially found that describes a lie:

Lie \Lie\ (l[imac]), n. [AS. lyge; akin to D. leugen, OHG. lugi, G. l["u]ge, lug, Icel. lygi, Dan. & Sw. l["o]gn, Goth. liugn. See Lie to utter a falsehood.]

1. A falsehood uttered or acted for the purpose of deception; an intentional violation of truth; an untruth spoken with the intention to deceive.

The proper notion of a lie is an endeavoring to deceive another by signifying that to him as true, which we ourselves think not to be so. –S. Clarke.

It is willful deceit that makes a lie. A man may act a lie, as by pointing his finger in a wrong direction when a traveler inquires of him his road. –Paley.

2. A fiction; a fable; an untruth. –Dryden.

3. Anything which misleads or disappoints.

Wishing this lie of life was o’er. –Trench.

To give the lie to.
   (a) To charge with falsehood; as, the man gave him the lie.
   (b) To reveal to be false; as, a man’s actions may give the lie to his words.

White lie, a euphemism for such lies as one finds it convenient to tell, and excuses himself for telling.

Syn: Untruth; falsehood; fiction; deception.

Usage: Lie, Untruth. A man may state what is untrue from ignorance or misconception; hence, to impute an untruth to one is not necessarily the same as charging him with a lie. Every lie is an untruth, but not every untruth is a lie. Cf. Falsity.

The only two questions I have left is, if a person believes what he is telling is the truth does it still make it a lie or make the the person just an idiot? Also if the person omits information in his telling of the truth does that make a lie even thought what he did omit is all truth? With these questions in mind I will leave you this little montage I found that describes what I first said about people lying for personal gain and to keep face also this statement “That a very strong  person is a person that can accept the responsibility of being wrong and admitting it!”. Enjoy

It been awhile since the discussion of what people think is better Pepsi or Coke came up. While when I was young I always preferred Coke to Pepsi, but now lately I find Pepsi is a much better product. I don’t know if it’s because one’s taste buds changes as you age or if coke is cutting corners in it recipe etc..but there is a big difference in the taste of coke. If they where to give me that old Pepsi challenge. Hands down I can tell the difference in the two.Also I find that Pepsi hangs on a bit longer before it goes flat. I will leave you with an old commercial that represents on how I feel. Enjoy!

OK I have just seen something on MSNBC that asks the question is George Bush an Idiot? I personally have been around long enough in this world, that I have seen a lot of people in politics that has never come off so badly that you would really think he was not an intelligent person at all. You might once in awhile call him a bone head for a policy you don’t agree with. But you would never believe that he really, really is an idiot in the biggest sense of the would. I still can’t understand how someone can fool that many people ( voters, sponsors etc…) He must have really kissed a lot of fuck-en asses to get to the top! I personally can relate since I have got an Idiot of my own that I ask that same fuck-en question. How did he make it all the way to the top when he knows absolutly NOTHING!…..The Deal with the Devil is the only logical explanation I say. Nothing else could ever explain it! Believe me I have tried. Anyway take a look at what I seen on msnbc, you will get the picture!

OK this comparison I would like to talk about has been in discussion for years. What is better a PC or a Mac? I personally have used Macs from time to time, but I am and always will be a PC person. For the main reason that I am a PC person is that PC’s are in 95% of the world market place. That means that if I have any kind of problem with my PC ,I can just look over to my left and there I will most likely find someone that has had the same problem and help me over come it. While if it was a Mac most likely I would have to climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest seas & walk the longest desert before I came across someone that can help me out etc.. The same goes for expanding the computer uses like getting a DVD burner or web-cam or just plain old software, the Library is small & difficult to find. The arguments that a Mac is safer and that there is no virus or spy-ware on the Mac is completely false. People don’t hear about it or hardly get any infections on the Mac is because 95% of the world runs PC’s, but I can assure you nothing is 100% proof. Also if the Mac goes crazy it is  a hell of a job diagnosing & repairing the problem. While on a PC the problem can be easily diagnosed and repaired etc.. anyway this debate will always rage on so I leave you with this video I found of Mac VS PC. Enjoy!

The Phone, specifically the cell phone. Are most people really using the phone as a tool or are they just yapping and wasting time saying something that can be told once your face to face with the person you were talking with on the phone. I tell you the people I see talking on the phone  are just talking nonsense. I hear them yapping and gossiping and reallying not using the phone for what it was really invented for. Like here are some examples of  what a phone was meant for ”hello Pete, pick up some bread & milk on the way home”. Or “hello John, I will be late for the meeting so go on with the meeting without me” etc….I say on average a call should last about 5 min, which should be more that enough time. Personally since I can remember I hated the fact that the phone exist, people interrupt dinner, sleep or just when a person wants to relax you get the annoying telemarketing call. With a cell, I’ve seen interruptions at the movie theater, church & office meetings & not to mention people have had acidents recieving or talking on a cell phone while driving. So that is what I think, so I leave you with this example that I found! Enjoy.

The cracking point does everyone have it? I think so, I myself think that if I continue on the job hearing day in day out the stupid questions customers continue to ask me, that I might crack and really tell them what I think. Questions like why is that printer less expensive this week. Response I would like to give is, do I look like I work for the fuck-en marketing department? Why the fuck do you care why it’s a lower price this week. Why ask the fuckin question just buy the fuck-en machine! Or question like can you give me a cartridge for my printer? but the only thing is I don’t know what printer I have. The response I would like to give is, what the fuck am I a psychic! Get the fuck home and find out what the hell you have before you walk into a store and ask for a fuck-en cartridge. Anyway these are some of the stuff I go through but the a whole lot more from customers and my staff. So I leave you with a video the represents what might happen to us when we crack!  So Enjoy.

OK here is another one of my peeves, that is the customer that yells and screams waving his hands thinking he will get anything he wants. Customers that start doing it where I am concern will not get an once of help from me. I had one customer who thought he could pickup a computer that was on repair without his invoice. He started to yell and scream, he looked like my son hopping up & down. I said exactly this to this clown, I said doing a song & dance sir will not get you this computer so please calm down because I have no proof that this computer belongs to you. I am sorry but you will have to return with your recite. I say that a customer that is pleasant will always get that extra mile from me and a customer that’s a bastard and unpleasant will not get one inch of effort from me. The only problem nowadays is that there are people of authority that have no back bone and will give anything to the customer to shut them up. Like one one client that came into the store with 7 empty boxes of Bic pens and wanted a refund. She started to yell at the cashier saying that her husband found the pens to be crap so he threw them into the trash so now she would like a refund, of coarse we explained to the customer that if she wants the refund she would have to bring in the pens of coarse the yelling continued and what you thing happened one of the managers came and gave her the refund, I couldn’t't believe it! They say that hows you please the customer to bring in business and I say have a little backbone! Doing that will only bring the customers that give nothing beneficial to the store except more yelling & screaming , which you end up loosing money rather than making it. I leave you with this audio I found that will give you an example of what I mean so enjoy!

I have seen some debates lately on the dicrimination of atheism. My views are, how can someone trust a person that is an atheist? They don’t believe in god, they only believe that they have only one life  so they should live it to the fullest and everything that happens in this world is the cause of natural selection and not of grand design. Now how can someone like that think of anything but the betterment of there lives. Why would they think of helping others if they knew nothing would be gain from it. Why would they sacrifice themselves if they new that they would get only 6 feet of dirt in the end. Why have any morals? Example if you were a 50 years old atheist  and there was a child of 10 years old beside you and you were both ill with an illness that is killing you both but there was one pill to cure that illness. Why would an atheist give that pill to the child? Since in his mind his life is all that he has and there is nothing after but dirt, dust and oblivion. Why care for that child? For myself I have always believed that there is a purpose to everything we hear, see & experience that is good and bad in the short life we have on this earth. I am also not so arrogant to assume why all that is or should be. We who are very small in an universe that is vast and grand.Why do some in science try to think that they are so large in statue that they think they can understand any of it, especially something like the secret we call life. Like a child that thinks they know more that it’s parent or why the child who does not except the parent that guides them in a direction as they evolve in life thinking they know more.

I would like to post here about the long time debate on what is a better sci-fi product, “Star Wars or Star Trek”. First I would like to say that I like them both, second they both are very different in nature. While star wars is about conquest & betrayal, star trek is about space exploration & discovery. They both have very good vision in what they are representing. Now having stated that, this is what I prefer about star trek over star wars. Star trek has this based on reality idea that someday we may or may not come to pass as a better species, but it does give a glimpse into the future of mankind. While what I don’t like about star wars in the none logical characters it has, even for a fantasy comic type of logic. For example characters that look and act like more animal then they do representing a evolved life form that can understand,build and use advanced technological devices. I always believed that if you build a fantasy universe, make sure that the life follows that universes logic. So this is my short opinion on starwars vs star trek and for now I will leave you with this short that I found on the battle of the two.

I am hearing a lot of debate on what people think is the truth to our existence. I personally think on some higher power guiding us through what we call our evolution. I can’t see anything happening by chance. Many people say that creationism is based on fantasy & religious doctrine made of mans exaggeration in story telling. While on the other side in evolutionism many people tend to take hypothesis and theory for fact of an actual event. In the end as I look at both sides I think they come both to the same understanding, and that understanding is both in Faith. One is in faith of logic and science which cannot be proved 100 % and the other is in a higher hand that guides our growth in knowledge, wisdom & understanding of where we came and where we are going. I firmly believe you cannot accept one without the other, because they are both in the same. As one can say knowledge is power! One can also say that knowledge can come from power. I am a very religious person when it comes to faith in the heart & soul, but not when it comes to religion, since religion was placed on paper by man & what man believes. So I place here a little clip from the family guy episodes that basically says, people should relax in their views when it comes to ones faith in religion.

Today something happened again in my city that makes me wonder more and more how people regards to parenting has diminished through the years, and  news of another 2 year old child falling through an apartment window 4 stories to the ground and this time for the grace of god this child survived the ordeal but this was badly injured. Ever since my son came into this world ( He is 3 Now ) I have notice more and more things happening to children. When people was saying to me I should place my child in day care, I was hearing a lot of daycare abuse. So much so that the radio stations had that topic on constantly. I was hearing a lot of children drowning in back yard pools. I was hearing child dieing because of loose blind cords. I can tell you that I heard in the 3 years of my sons life so much horrific events that I can write a book on today’s diminished quality to the age old job of being a parent. All that I have heard pointed to the lack of proper supervision and parental control. The day we decide to have children (meaning my wife & I) we both agreed that one would stay home with the child and nurture them as they grow. My biggest concern about daycare was that I don’t want my child to mistake the daycare worker for one of the parents and  that I always thought that placing a child in daycare would diminish the bond between the child & the parent.Seeing the great growth and bond my child has with us compared to what I have witness otherwise, it has been well worth it. We had less income to work with for our own personal use,but in the end we noticed that it was never missed. What I would like to say after all this, is that if your not there in the early years as your child grows , you will truly regret it when you do realize what you’ve misted when they are older teens and are not around anymore asking for your hand to hold. Time does fly!……..

Ok I have just finish watching this documentary on the American way of health care and I tell you that scares the hell out of me. I can never understand how someone can sleep well at night when they know that the reason someone died is due to their actions! Especially someone that happens to be a doctor. My hope is that enough people see the documentary and get those ass kissing, back stabbing, money grubbing evil  bastards! I hope that Canadians especially see this film, because here in Canada the people in power would like nothing better than getting there greedy little hands on more money & power in Health care system etc..I Hope we don’t get caught napping.

Well I post this one in the frustration I feel when I see a world full of evil and the men and women of the military doing there best to combat it, but being held back by people that have everything and not giving a dam for the people that have nothing. It kills me when soldiers get killed in the line of duty  and then soon after you hear on the news people in arms chanting crying, bring our soldiers home, the opposition party to the government saying to many are dieing end the Canadian Afghanistan tour. This is when I would like to whack someone across with a two by four and point out  that the soldiers volunteer for this duty and that they accept what happens in the line of duty and that they are there in the hope of helping a people without any hope. So if people & governments gave all the support that was needed and more to the soldiers you would see less them dieing and mankind would finally move forward to a better world full of hope in places that right now that doesn’t have any. I myself was a soldier and in my time in the military wanted to volunteer for Bosnia tour in the hope that people who had babies would want a better world for them. People should remember that evil thrives when good people do NOTHING!..also remember that talking is just wind in nature, and only a strong hand can move mountains. I always believed that ones actions not words is the better part of valor. 

OK this is one of biggest peeves, I have been in customer service for over 20 years. At the place I’m at now is been  almost 7 years in retail. After almost 7 years I can honestly tell you, there comes a point that I can say that most customers are lazy, but some take the cake. The peeve that kills me the most are customers that can’t understand why something doesn’t work right of the bat and run right back to the store to find out the reason without even looking at the manual, calling customer service etc…. Example I had a customer buy a printer! They got home! First think they did was take it out of the box and tried to install the cartridge. They didn’t even look at the large banner that explained what steps to follow by large photos  or even read the manual. Instead they ran back to the store across town and found me and asked why is it that the cartridge won’t install? Before I answered that question I asked one of my own, that question was did they turn on the power on the printer? They answered NO!!!!!! I wanted so badly to WACK that person across the head. I also asked did you read the banner or the manual? They answered no, they don’t like to read. IDIOTS, they rather come across town and show how big a idiot they are then take a quick look in the manual that would say ,frist thing  is turn power ON! I Find that our society is really following the lazy path in life. God forbid that there is a natural disaster. I find alot of people would be lost.

Well I will soon start yapping about some topics like how some film critics review some films, how film makers decide on the process of destroying some great stories & bullshit their way in their explanations of the creative process etc.. Also I will be talking about what my biggest peeves are in life etc…I hope once I start going people will continue to visit here as I let out some steam, and get some great debates going. I will most likely add also a video blog to express some of my greatest peeves.
