Been awhile

I know that it's been awhile since I last posted, but I've been busy.

I saw on the news that the judge in the My Space trial actually dismissed the case, stating something in effect of their your kids, take the responsibility on yourself. Good for him. It's about time some judge slapped down these assholes and their frivolous lawsuits. If you can't take the time to be responsible for your kids, then you don't need to have kids. They are your responsibility, and no one else's.

Baseball season is starting soon. Can't hardly wait. Go Astros.

Lawsuit against MySpace

Have you read about or heard about the lawsuit against MySpace.com. If you haven't, you can read about it here, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070119/ap_on_hi_te/myspace_lawsuit_38. Basicly, 4 families are suing the popular website because they have no control over their kids. These 4 families had daughters that were sexually assaulted by men they met on MySpace.

If you ask me, it's a frivolous lawsuit. Since these people refuse to take responsibility for their kids. It's not MySpace's responsibility to protect your kids. That's your job as parents. Of course there are things that MySpace could be doing better, but that's not going to stop your kids from lying about their age and doing what they want on the site. Since the site is free, there is not much that MySpace or anyone else can really do. If MySpace charged for their service, a lot of this would go away. When paying for the services of MySpace, you would have to have proof of age, by paying with a credit card.

Grow up people, and stop being idiots. Take responsibility for your kids, and raise them yourselves. Quit blaming everybody else for your kids problems. You are the ones raising them, and if you were doing a good job then a lot of this crap wouldn't be happening. Nobody ever said that raising children was going to be easy, or fun. It's a job, just like anything else you do in life, it's hard.

Funerals Suck

I went to a funeral today, and man do they suck. I've been to funerals before, but never realized how much I dread going to them. Sure, I got to see a lot of family members that I haven't seen in years, but it's not like we're there for a family reunion and have fun. Everyone's in a somber mood and nobody really wants to be there. Everyone shows, because they feel they have to. It's just a way to show support for the family members, who lost their loved one. Don't get me wrong, I new my uncle, but we were not close. I barely know my cousins at all, so I don't feel like it's a duty of mine to show up, but in order to make others happy, I do.

Back To Work

Ok, the holidays are officially over. I'm back at work now, doing the same thing that I was before the holiday. Not that that's a bad thing, but sometimes a little boring.

Luckily though, there will be some new projects to work on and some travel as well. This is a good thing, cause it changes thing up and makes it all new again.

End of year reviews are going in, so pay raises are in order, maybe even a promotion to the next pay grade. That would be awesome. I could really use it.
