Jeez
Jeeeez - am I the only one around here over 30?? I just did a quickie search for other people who live in Chandler, and they all look like they've never been outside of their plastic bags! Oh oh.

Anyway, I have no idea what I'm doing, or why I'm here. I think I wanted (needed?) a place to just rant "in general." A place to take a break from the lunacy of "the web."

Feel like I should put a bio here, in case anyone's reading - did a short one in the "personal info" section, but don't know where it shows up (don't recall seeing it under "info." Also don't know if I should be using a "client," whatever that is. Going to ask my roommate when he wakes up. For now, will write this live, online.

I do want to say this, in case the bio thingy I wrote isn't readily available - I'm not much for censoring what I write. If you're one of those with "virgin ears," I strongly suggest you look at other, tamer, journals. A lot of what I write will be opinion - and a lot of my opinions rub folks the wrong way. I refuse to put shackles on my keyboard, or put ratings on my opinions. Also, more than once, I've been complained about because someone's waterhead miracle baby happened to see something I wrote. Well, tough shit. It's up to you to control your kids, not up to you to control ME. Just because you forgot to stick a rubber on it, doesn't mean I have to pay more of the consequences than necessary. I don't care what your kiddies read, or what they repeat. And I suggest you care more about what they DO than what they see, also. The sooner they figure things out, in my view, the better. If you want to "protect" them from reality, and then blame ME when they shoot up their high school ("No one told me life was this tough!"), keep it. One of the stupidest things I ever heard was a woman complaining that her 6 year old saw a chat room once, where someone wrote "shut the f*** up" - spelled just like that, with asterisks. She said her kid went around all that day repeating what he saw. I asked her how the hell her kid was pronouncing "f***." Of course, no reply. My suspicion is that these folks are a bigger problem than they realize - and that makes them dangerous.

So, having had that warning, don't bitch to me if you get offended at what you read. Start your own rant journal to complain about it - heh. I certainly welcome comments, but don't expect any of them, pro or con, to change my mind or make me "see the light." Mainly this is personal for me - written for my own edification - NOT for anyone else's approval (or disapproval).

Hmmmm - what else for now? Think I'll just wander off and come back as rants strike me.
