Houston for the week

Hey guys,

I just thought I would give a quick update. I am in Houston TX for the week on business. I will be installing CMS for University of Houston and then training their users. At the end of the week, I will be flying back to Atlanta and then picking up the van and the beretta for another fun 14 hour drive back to Austin. You kids have fun =-)

Kids…

Let me start by saying I didn’t write this, found it but it said everything I would if I was as eloquent. Original can be found here.

Kids-
I dont have kids. My friends dont have kids. My experience with little kids is fairly limited. However, i have fairly extensive experience with junior high and high school kids. And y’know what? They’re spoiled, arrogant little assholes.

When I see some kid at the restaurant that wont take off his headphones or put away his PSP to eat dinner, I want to slap his parents in the face. When I watch Nanny 911 or Supernanny and I hear some beanbag housewife whining that she cant control her 3 year old, I want to kick my television set to the floor. When I hear some little crotchfruit at Meijers throwing a tantrum because he cant have a video game/candy bar/toy, I want to go up to him and scream at him as loudly as i possibly can, until my throat is raw and bleeding and i’m screaming a fine red mist all over this little shit’s face.

What the fuck ever happened to discipline? NO MEANS NO. It doesnt even have to involve spankings, I was spanked maybe 3 times when I was a kid. Those 3 times were enough. YOU’RE the parent, YOU’RE the adult, YOU ARE IN CONTROL. I’m sorry, but if you’re 30 and cant control a 3 year old you belong in a home with someone spooning applesauce into your stupid piehole. If you dont want to take the time to be a parent, dont have kids. It IS a choice, if abortion is against your beliefs then give the baby up to one of the thousands of couples who cant have kids but desperatly want them. (unless their gay, because we all know gay people cant raise babies. two people who love eachother are only allowed children if the peepees dont match.)

Parenting takes time and effort, I’m pretty sure on that one, and by time and effort I do NOT mean plunking them down in front of the television for 5 hours. It does not mean buying a 4 year old an X-BOX 360 so “he wont get bored.” HE’S 4. A four year old can play with a box and some lawn chairs for hours on end, and be perfectly happy. However, when the kid is stacking the lawnchairs on the box and then trying to stand on top of it and falls, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SUE THE LAWN CHAIR COMPANY. You were supposed to be watching him, hell, maybe helping him build his fort, not sitting on your ass in the other room talking on the phone, painting your nails, and watching Dr. Phil. You are not entitled to monetary damages because you’re an idiot. I wish I was a judge, I’d be like Judge Judy except with more profanity.

People, the world has been dumbed down enough. Stop freaking out and whining about television/music/games/movies and fucking it up for adults. You dont like the vulgar music your kids listen to? I agree, it’s a little disturbing to have a 10 year old walking around singing “my humps” or “crazy bitch”, so maybe dont buy them the cd’s? I like the cd’s and I’m 26 years old, but because of your bitching certain stores wont carry the cds I might enjoy.

You dont like violent video games? Quit waiting in line for 234231 hours the day after Thanksgiving to buy them x-box nine billion.

Does your 8 year old really need a shirt that says TEASE and itty bitty shorts that say JUICY on the butt? You want to paint her a big red sandwich board that says “PEDOPHILES PLEASE LOOK AT ME” while you’re at it?

Exercise a little discipline and maybe some personal self-control. You dont have to buy them everything they ask for. Or, if some analogies might help you out here, quit digging your own grave, quit making the bed that you will sleep in, quit shooting yourself in the foot. Do not buy a video game and then freak out and attempt to sue video game companies because it “made” your kid attempt to torch your neighbors cat. Do some research. Wait, that might take up some of your Days of our Lives programming time, maybe try it at night, after you shoot your husband down for sex because you’ve been too tired “watching the kids” all day. He can sneak off to his laptop to look at porn, you can sit in the living room and actually try making yourself a better parent. It’s so much easier to do that without those pesky kids around.

Fuck you and your whiny, spoiled, irritating, pussy kids.
(and before you email me saying YOU’RE NOT A MOTHER SO YOU DONT KNOW, realize that I dont care. Whether or not I’m a mother has nothing to do with how crappy you are as a parent. When I see your child, it’s in public, where they should be on their best behavior. If this is how they act in public, good fucking luck with them at home.)

The wedding is getting closer

Brooke has created a wedding site for us with a lot of good information:

You can find it here.

Sorta moved in…

Well, we have made the first wave to Austin. 98% of my stuff has been moved from Ga and I will now reside here full time. We found a small 1 bedroom apartment that we will be staying in until the house is done being built. It isn’t fancy or special, but it has our needs taken care of in the mean time. I also have to go back to Atlanta at the end of the month to bring the remaining cars here to Tx. I want to take this opportunity to thank Heather and Carlos for all their help with the move. Thanks guys; couldn’t have done it without you, or at least I wouldn’t have wanted to.

Here is a sneak peak of what my new office setup looks like at the moment. =-)

I love google

There was a time, when I thought that Google was evil. Those days have past though and I now rely on them on a daily basis. They never cease to amuse me either. Any company that refuses to take itself seriously is ok in my book. Click on a few of these to see what I mean:

Free Wireless Broadband

Mentalplex

Google Gulp

Pigeon Rank

Need a good job?

Romance
