Obey the principality.

My son got sent to the principals office yesterday.

Tenth day of kindergarten.

Yeah that's right. Now here's the deal, I'm having a little too much trouble not being a little proud... he punched a kid who made fun of him or called him a name, or so I am told.

While I don't want him to be picking on other kids and I certainly think violence should always be a last resort, I'm still a little glad he's already able to stand up for himself. And maybe some of it is I'm a little impressed that he hits well enough that one shot got him sent to the principals office.

Maybe I'm a bad parent but I taught them both how to throw a good punch. We play the punch game where we pretend to box and I let them hit me in the stomach as hard as they can. I don't really want them to have to punch other kids, but I do want them to be able to do it well enough that if they HAVE to they can get the job done. 

And its like prison. You either beat someone up or become someones bitch the first week of school right? Heh. Bet that other kid will think twice before he picks on Alex again.

I'm a terrible person, heh.

I totally wouldn't write this stuff if he could read it.

Thy kingdom come

Welcome blog readers to my latest post.

It has been a very long time but that time has not been uneventful. To update previous posts, no I never learned to program. No I don't work at Valentino's any more.

Also yes I'm divorced now. I had thought of using this as a place to let off steam about all that stuff but I felt it would end up hurting the innocent. She has a girlfriend now. That's all you really need to know. I'm getting past it much better than I expected to be by this point.

Rant: if you are going to post political images on my facebook news feed either vary them or limit yourself to one a day.. I don't need to see 14 reasons obama sucks or is awesome in one day. you might be surprised about who is and is not part of the choir you are preaching to. Both sides are fucking nuts and if you think your side isn't you are either fooling yourself or you are also fucking nuts.

Now that you've got me on politics...
If I were to vote I would vote for Obama. However I will not vote. Wouldn't make a difference. My state is too far right for my drop in the bucket to count. Sorry popular vote, the electoral college rules you obsolete.

"But Joe," you say... "democrats are baby killers." While this is probably true of most politicians, I think voting in a madman because he agrees with me on one issue is quite a bad idea.
And while we are at it, the whole thing with abortion. Its over. Just let it be already. Ethically I am absolutely opposed to abortion. Legally I am opposed to forcing my fucking ethics on someone else. See to me its not so much a womens rights issue(though this swing from the dems seems to be working quite well) as a FREEDOM OF RELIGION issue.  I believe X. You believe Y. We can get along without it coming to making laws to make your beliefs less legal than mine. I don't like abortion so I won't get one or help someone get one. I can control my world without having to control everyone elses.

Same reason I hate militant atheists. But don't get me started there...

Anyhow that's all the time we have for today. Thank you for coming.

Testing the junk.

This is a post just testing the ability of my phone to email blog updates. There is nothing of value in this blod post but it does mean good things are yet to come in the future assuming it actually works this time. Cross your fingers.
