Spring fever!

Spring is such a great time. I saw this for a number of reasons; spring is the time of year when everyone and everything comes back to life. It’s a time of renewal, It gives us the energy to make things happen. Personally winter makes me depressed and completely un-motivated. But once spring hits and the nights are warm I feel like getting things done. There is allot I need to get done and many goals I aim at achieving by the end of this summer. One of the largest ones is moving out, This goal is a daunting one. And one I have had to do some serious planning around. Financially I'm good to go, but mentally is another story. I don’t want to jump into a situation that will give me long term grief. Originally I aimed to be moved out by May but this will rush me too much, so now I'm looking to the end of June. Another gole I have is to change up my career path. I have been in Security for a while and I love it, I have been at the same site for a year now and I am enjoying the benefits of Seniority, but I miss the fast paced high-risk setting I came from when I was with Intelligarde. So I'm going to upgrade my training and get back into what I love by August. So with all that said, here is to reaching our aspirations and goals through out the summer and through out life.

I hope you get hit by a car.

You see it every day, people with no respect , manners or common courtesy. People who do things that make you wonder how these people can ever land a job paying over min wage. Or how they got to where they are in life. In many cases the answer to those question is they haven’t.

When I was brought up I was around adults primarily from the birth til I was about 15. Spending most of your time with groups of adults as a child forces you to act a certain way. I would never consider using profane language or being loud and causing a scene. This is not how one is to behave in social setting I was taught. I was always told how you should always say please, thank you and of course sorry. I was always told that in public places you should be respectful and show grace and dignity.

I know this is how my parents were brought up and thru out history this has been the norm. But apparently times have change, other cultures have merged with our formally mostly “Christen” if you will society. Political correctness and social acceptance has made allot of things go out the window. The way a person acts is learned from what the child is exposed to. If a child’s parents don’t show the Importance of wrong from right. Then that child will learn from what he/she sees around him/her. And in a city of any size far more bad things occur then good. Kids see this in every form, whether it be the bus ride to school, or what they see on tv. Too even people walking down the street. Many parents should never ever have been allowed to be responsible for anyone under the age of 18. Hell some of these parents are not even 18 themselves.

The end result is a blatant disregard for authority, and how ones actions may be perceived by those around them. These are the people who talk loudly on their cell on a bus or subway, the people who push people out of the way to get to where they want to go. The people who litter in the most unacceptable ways (i.e. leaving their entire Mc Donald’s meal remains on the seat of the bus. There are also those who thinks its ok to act like a complete moron in public, not considering there might be small children around or the people in proximity to them may be annoyed by their actions.

What I don’t understand is don’t people look at what they are doing and ask “Wow that was pretty crass, and everyone is looking at me funny” I guess not. If I ever have kids, something that probably will never happen but none the less. If I do I will do everything in my power to make sure they know right from wrong. I don’t want to be the one going “Wow this guy is a total jerk, I hope he gets hit by a car”

I was watching a debate on tv not long ago about this very subject. One guy on the show explained that the reason for the decline in acceptable behavior by people in today’s society was due to the loss of religion in the upbringing of today’s youth. In my opion (Also considering I was never taken to church as a child) this is nonsense. A person’s upbringing is the foundation to their understanding of life and how to act and behave. Take away positive influence in the early years and you take away from development of good social behavior and good manners.
