Am I chivalrous or sexist?

Am I chivalrous or sexist?

I want my kids to have a stay at home parent. I do not have to be the bread-winner, but in this case I am. if my lovely wife made the same or more I would stay at home. It is not that she cannot earn as much as me, and I agree that men can make more easier because of society. Still is that reason enough for her to go to a job she does not like. And the way we work it is she is at home when I am at work. and she works when I am home. This gives the girls A parent at all times, but leave little time for us.

Yes I would love to support her and have the Leave it to Beaver family. How ever I would give up all for her to be Del (could be wrong on his name) and I would take the role of June. I can work a vacuum, dishwasher and iron. I can cook too, I also prefer to. I have a rare position in life. We can afford to live on my income. yes it would be a few gadgets less. fewer dinners out. But what it would give our girls/family?

And no I am not that old to have seen Leave it to Beaver when it came out. I am only 36.

2012 and why you should not worry about it

the short and sweet of it is, What ever happens December 12 2012, Be it the end of the world, armagedon, spiritual atunment or the rapture. Nothing you do now will change what happens then.

My thought on the matter is we will wake up on the 13th and it will be a new day. just like when we woke up on the 12th was a new day.

But to worry about it, is only going to lessen your hair line and make it grey. Okay for those of you who are religous and fear the rapture, I guess to ease your minds you can try to live better if you feel you need to. Being nicer to others is always a good plan (But some people are harder to be nice to then others)

We have nothing to fear but fear it self. don’t worry about what you cannot change. enjoy today for today and tomorrow for tomorrow. Bad sh1t might and does happen but work love laugh and play.

#1 of a recovering WoW player

okay I never finisned an end game of world of warcraft. As it started my cousin came over one night.

“Dude, you got to check this out.” said my cuz. I started with what is that. Long story short, the game I had avoided for 2 years. He brought over.  I had something to do with my younger cousin. And a wicked wow player he was ( and still is ). but married with kids cannot compete time wise with the supper stud that he is.  I mean for a WoW player to have a job as a strip club DJ.  I do not/did not have that time to give to wow. Then i tried to start a guild. but that did not work. To top it off I could not keep up and the distance returned. My wife and I continued to play, Mother in law, brother in law, others we meet online and the people who I brought in to the game. Then I found a guild outside of MINE. one thing lead to another and MY guild went away.

to the point….. there is more to this story then I have in this post. I am only on week 3 of not playing wow.  Damn I mis it, but it consumed me. Is World Of Warcraft evil?…….. Hell no. My lack of control over me was. My girls suffered due to the time I spent as my alter-online ego’s. My lack of control is my down fall.  And this blog now is for those in my shoe’s, or those that have advice for my socks LOL.

Vacation

Ah that time of the work life when you get to say. No. well some people can and I am fortunate enough to be one of them. Wife’s B-day is tomorrow, take her to dinner tonight and then spend as much time with her and the girls until vacation is over.

What will I do on vacation? No clue. Look at house’s?

Twenty ten or two thousand ten?

Twenty ten or two thousand ten?

Does this matter?

Suprizingly enough it does to some. enough so that I was correct at work. To me it does not mater what you, they and or them say. Nor will I correct you to my view. Which by the way I say twenty-ten. Here is what I find funny, in 1989 what did you say? nineteen-eighty-nine or one thousand-nine hundred and eighty-eight. 

I just find it funny that anyone could/would care enough as to how one say’s 2010 so much that they would get into a heated debate over it.  Of all the things to get into a debate over. this is a priority to some.

I am a tree huger. save the forest do not litter there kind-a guy. I have other things to debate that I care about. politics I have my opinion. Movies do I have a few that I will chew the cud about. But really? you have to tell me I am wrong in saying twenty-ten.

20/20

Kids are a constant source of both imagination and entertainment. My oldest daughter made up a game. Now all kids make up games so this in and of it self is nothing out of the ordinary.  But she loves math and at 8 years old is excelling in it.

Last night I got to play her game. She had taken and make about 30 cards with numbers ranging from 0-10 there was only one 0 and one ten but the rest was pretty random. She handed us all 3 cards and explained the rules. all 3 cards have to add up to 20. You may take from the top of the new pile or from the discard pile. when you discard you place it fase down so no one can see what it is. you also discard before you draw. a game of sheer luck and chance. but it got my youngest to trying to add things. very sweet indeed.

A place to throw words

As a person who both loves his family and gaming, finding a balance (One that leans torwards family more then Gaming) can be hard. Priority’s are what people call them. We list them, show them. Even at times Brag about them. We are eager to show how we follow them when we do and toss under the carpet the times we do not in hopes that the guest will not walk on that part of the floor.

When my children are grown, I want them to say I was there for them. But as all people are they also want a bit of life out side of kids. At no point would I say that I do not want kids. As long as I can remember post teenager, I have wanted a family. Married at 23 first kid at 27. I meet my wife in high school. Many people say that high school romances never last. 12 years later it is lasting perty well. We are not the norm but we work and are happy.

Life is not a road to be flowed, or a trail to be blazed. Every moment becomes history. not all history is remembered. But live today so that tomorrow you can remember it with the thought, I did that and would again.
