Yesterday was kind of an emo day for me. Was just bummed out for some reason. Anyhow, I thought I would get back to bitching about shitty parents.
I know a lot of people with kids. And to be honest, most are decent parents. There are also a few I think are really good parents. And there is also some I think are terrible parents. Granted these are just my opinions and maybe the ones I think are terrible other people think are good. Then again maybe not. What bugs me the most is that people who can't support themselves are allowed to have children. I know good people that for whatever reason can't have kids, yet these morons who probably didn't even graduate high school can. If you can't support yourself, what makes you think you can support a helpless child? Now, I'm not saying that everyone on welfare is a bad parent. Some can be pretty good. The difference is that the good ones realize they have to put their child first. A baby is helpless. They need someone to take care of them a d nurture them. If you don't get that, you don't deserve to have a child.
One of my biggest problems is the lack of discipline nowadays. When I was a child it was perfectly acceptable to spank your child. Now it's child abuse if you do it to much. Some kids just need to be spanked. Yelling at your kid only teaches them that its okay to yell at people. Sending a child to their room is the worst punishment. Hey send me to my room where all my toys and my bed are. Yeah that's a good strategy. The worst thing though is not punishing your children. So, when that child grows up to be an asshole, can we blame it on you? And neglecting a child is just as bad. Letting a child play video games all day is the worst parenting technique ever. You don't want to send time with your kid, so you park them in front of a tv and hand them a remote. Then we wonder why kids have ADD. Is it really going to hurt you to spend some time with your kid? If you didn't want it, why not give it to someone who does.
I hate deadbeat parents. This to me is worse than being a bad parent. Maybe I'm biased because my father wasn't around tosses me grow up. Not that it matters though, cuz my mom did a pretty good job of raising me on her own. I know deadbeat dads, other than my own. And to be honest, the children are better off without them. On of the people I consider a really good parent is a single mother, and both of them are better off without the father in their lives. And I hate when people say "it was an accident." If you're not preventing it, its not an accident. An accident is the birth control didn't work or the condemn ripped, not "oh, he didn't pull out in time."
It amazes me that even though we know smoking is bad and second hand smoke is just as bad, that people still smoke around their children. When I was a child, they didn't know it is as bad as it is. But we know how bad smoking is now. Yet people still smoke around their children. You're so desperate for a cigarette you're gonna endanger your childs health?
Or people that give their babies and toddlers soda. You can't give them milk or juice or water? Soda is so bad and has so much sugar in it. Hey, why don't you just let your child eat a candy bar also. Just set that kid up to be in poor health. Just because your a lazy piece of crap doesn't mean your child has to be that way too.
I don't have any kids, but it's only common sense that you need to watch little children at all times. They love to run away and get into things. It's really not that hard to keep an eye on one. I know people who have more than one and can keep an eye on them. So if they can watch multiple children, it shouldn't be that hard to watch just one. And it's normally a good idea to jeep all drugs and cleaners locked up. You think that would be common sense also, but apparently not for some people.
Anyway, that is all I wanted to bitch about. Hope you enjoy.

August...
It seems like this year is going by really quickly. Maybe it's always like that, but I just haven't noticed it until now. It just seems like it was only a few weeks ago I was turning 29 and 2011 was almost here. Now its August and only 4 months until I turn 29. For some reason this year feels less fun than last year. Maybe it's the shitty weather we have been having, or living with the wife's parents, or something else entirely. It just seems like last summer was more fun. We lived by ourselves and I enjoyed that. I like having privacy. I like being able to walk around naked after taking a shower, or just sitting around in my boxers when it's hot out. I can't do that now. Well, I could, but I don't think anyone would appreciate that.
I guess now would be a good time to talk about the super hero movies this year. I'll start with Thor as it has been my favorite this year. I thought Chris Hemsworth played Thor really well. I had my doubts when I first heard he was gonna be playing him, but he surprised me. I liked that they told some of the back story so that even if you aren't a fan of the comics you can understand the characters a little better. The teaser scene after the credits was cool. But if you're not a fan of the Avengers, it probably won't make sense until you see Captain America. I liked Clint Barton/Hawkeyes little cameo, which is another thing most nonfans will miss. There were a few things I didn't like. One being that they were an alien race. They should have just stuck with them being gods. Really, that might be the only thing I didn't like about it.
X-Men: First Class is my second favorite of the year. I saw this at a drive in, but I wish I would have seen it in theaters also. I loved the characters, even though other than Beast none of them are in the original First Class. I liked that it showed the relationship between Charles(Professor X) and Eric(Magneto). These two are close friends, but their differences in opinion put them at odds with each other. I really liked Azazel. I thought he was the coolest character in the movie. But Nightcrawler is one of my favorite comic characters, and he is pretty much a more ruthless Nightcrawler. I didn't like that it wasn't the original First Class(Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, Angel), but it was still pretty cool. The biggest thing I didn't like was that they didn't show Mystique and Azazel showing any love interest in each other. For those that do not know, Mystique and Azazel are Nightcrawlers parents. I guess if those where the only two things I didn't like, it must have been a pretty good movie then. Also, I loved Wolverine's little cameo.
Captain America was my third favorite. I really like Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America. I loved how they CGId him to make him look small. I liked that they had Red Skull as the villain. I don't know a whole lot about Cap, but I know that Red Skull is his enemy. I liked the costume, and the shield looked really good. Tommy Lee Jones was really good in his role, and so was the guy that played Howard Stark. The teaser scene at the end was my favorite one of the three this year. My favorite is still the Deadpool one at the end of Wolverine. I didn't like the ending and that they killed of a key character in the comics, but I can get over that.
Finally, there was Green Lantern. I really liked Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. I liked him better as Wade Wilson in the Wolverine movie, but he fits that character a little better than he does Hal. Still, I thought he did a really good job of playing Hal Jordan. I really liked Kilowog. He is my favorite Green Lantern, so it was cool seeing him in the movie. I liked that they had Sinestro as a Green Lantern the entire movie, but still showed that he will someday betray them. I didn't like Parallax, but I can live with it. The tiny teaser scene was cool and leaves it open for more Green Lantern movies, so that's cool.
Anyhow, I must rest now. Gotta get up in 6 hours. I'll try to update this more, but since nobody probably reads it anyhow, I guess it doesn't matter if I do or not. :-)
