Randomness

I find my blog is very random, but that is perhaps because life is very random, or maybe it is just me. I just know that you can not just focus one thing, because you need multiple skills to survive in life.

I do like to talk about my projects, but I find I have so little time to work on them.
But, I do like to shy away politics and news, because if you are reading my blog, then you probably already read the news. I have long since said what I thought politics and the news. Which is pay attention to it! Use your brains. Do not let doublethink or minispeak confuse you. However, on the topic of news, there was barely any ammo at Wal-Mart today. I noticed some that were completely out stock previously had some, so they must be restocking, but it just flies of the shelf too fast. This perturbs me.

I read on Texas Preppers Blog today about group survival. I find that so few people think about that. It is encouraged when you go camping or even swimming to have at least a buddy. The hardest part about that idea though is that it is hard to find good people. During Ike, my neighborhood did not get together. Each neighbor took care of themselves, however in other parts of Houston there were apartment complexes, and even this couple I meet where they did work together and combined resources. I suppose the most difficult part of group work (in any form) is you do not want to have slacker/parasite that only brings the group down.

By the way, if you get a chance to, go check out Wolf Track's Patch. It is pretty neat.(Ya, I know The Texas Preppers got to it already. They are a good one to check out, too.)

Last bit of randomness. My next post is going to cover how to tell time with the Moon. It is not hard, but it is useful.

Midnight is Still Time.

I really do not have much to say at the point in time. I been working on my projects
I plan to buy this book called The Encyclopedia of Country Living By Carla Emery.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1570615535/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=
This book comes highly recommended, and it is a DIY book on gardening, horticulture, and some other things relevant to country living. If you follow the link, you can see both the table of contents and the index.

Now my rant:

People need to take care of their health.
Not only can it save you money in the long run, but if you are ever put in a survival situation, if your health is lacking, your chances of survival goes down as well.

I am deeply perturbed with how everything is these days.
I can remember play dodge ball, red rover, and even watching fights at school, but now as I watch a new generation of student attend the same school, with even some of the teachers I had, I shudder at the thought of what they are being taught. I shudder at the thought that they will be the future of this Nation, in a mere ten to fifteen years. That is a very short time.

Don't get me wrong. I do not wish to hurt anyone. However, if we are raising the new generation to be wusses, teaching them that everyone step on them, and drugging or separating anyone that doesn't fit the perfect mold. Is that what we want out of our future?

How is that at the point in time, we have the most amount of availability to the most amount of information, but have the least educated populous both in book smarts and street smarts?

Well this ends my mid-night rant. I hope

Divorce

I hate the word Divorce.

I have never had to experience it first hand, but I have seen some of the people in my life go through it. I have to upfront about the fact that I never been married. I am just not at the point in my life where I want to be yet, but I intend to be in the future. However, despite that point, I still hate the word Divorce. I hate it because people always seem to jump to as a first option to any little problem in a marriage. I know that marriage comes down to making it work or not, but it seems like no one wants to even try.

I know that marriage should be based on love, but I am sure there are many people out there that have had an arrange marriage or a shotgun wedding, who will say that you learn to love that person, or you just make it work.

Divorce should not be an option unless it simply gets so bad that it is really needed. I know the argument is that people are unhappy if they have to deal with it, but my argument is that before you get married, make sure it is really what you want, make sure you want to spend your life with that person.

When you divorce it effects everyone and everything around you. It is pretty traumatic, especially for children, and that is why marriage should not be taken so lightly.

I say all of this, because I do not believe in Divorce as an option. I hate what it has become. You can not married thinking that you will just refund the marriage, just in case it does not work out. I know sometimes it is needed. I do not argue with that. I am just saying that it should not be an option from day 1.

My Rant

I usually do not rant; however, I have been so angry lately.
I am sick of wussies.
I am sick of all the stupid rules.
Cookie monster eats celery.
Children can not play dodge ball or legos.
In California, people paint their guns pink, so the guns will not be “evil black things”

I am sick of people who do not know who to drive. They go 50 miles an hour in a 65 zone.
When I was driving today, I had a guy cut in front of me. There was no more than 6 feet between the car in front of and my car. Then he ran the red light when we got off the freeway. The people in the car just looked at me, with the attitude of “so what?”

Moreover, I am sick of rapists and all those people who do horrible things and destroy lives.
I am sick of the people who think that the death penalty by injection is painful, because the needle stings a little. (I am not taking a position on being pro-life or not) I just think people just cry over the littlest of things.

This is not the world I want my child to grow up in. I do not want bubble wrap on everything. I do not wish for my child to be protected so much they do not scrap their knees on occasion.

Without some pain, how can one understand true happiness? The world is so caught up on be happy, but sugar coating everything does not allow anyone to be happy.

I wish everyone well. Take care of the ones you love.
