Friday Rant: Perceptions

Drew — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 04:01:00 +0000

I am going to introduce a new weekly post called the Friday Rant. Join me every Friday as I rant about something new. It may come from something I watched or read. It may come from a life experience. It may be about my wife, but please don’t tell her about it. Or it may simply come from my crazy mind.

The first installment will be about the perception that main stream television has of the father. I am a huge couch potato and watch most of the prime time shows and I mentioned to my wife how bad the father is often portrayed. You have the dead beat dad who often disappears from the picture never to be heard from again. Now what is great about this is that in “TV” world this occurs so often that is not surprising to any of the characters involved and seems almost expected.

Billy woke up this morning, brushed his teeth, got dressed, went to school, came home to find out dad is gone, and discussed what he learned in school today.

There is no shock, no moment of sadness, just move on to more important plot lines. So, since the lack of dad is the norm, does the responsible dad get celebrated? Absolutely not, just the opposite, there is nothing worse then the visible father.

In sitcoms the father usually is over weight, not too attractive, and dumb. Granted he usually has a hot wife that he wouldn’t even be able to speak to in real life, but at what price? Dad is the clown that ends up the butt of all jokes. The wife and kids walk all over him and left alone he screws things up and gets into trouble.

Now the drama is far worse. Dad cheats on his wife, abuses his wife, while molesting his children, resulting in murdering the entire family and he even runs over the family pet as he tries to flee. If a family member does happen to survive that family member simply becomes a serial killer, rapist, and abuser of small animals who escapes jail because it is dad’s fault.

Man, I feel the love.

Join me next week for the newest installment of Friday Rant. And if you have ideas to feed the fire in my brain just chime in.

Change Has Come

Drew — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:54:23 +0000

I try not to be too political on my site, but just wanted to briefly address the past election. It is refreshing to wake up the day after election day and actually feel refreshed. This was a feeling that I haven’t felt in a long time. I am registered as an Independent, but have voted Democrat in every Presidential election since I could vote, but like to keep an open mind when in the box.

This past election was a no brainer for me as W. made such a mess of things the last 8 years there was no way I was voting for McCain, baby W., and Palin, the big brain. Yes, I am married to a black woman and yes, my daughter is multiracial, but the only color that mattered to me on election day was blue. Red was an evil color as far as I was concerned on election day. I voted blue through and through. My biggest concern with McCain was his judgment. His selection of Palin as his running mate caused me to question his sanity and his seriousness. I feel like he was making a mockery of the whole process by selecting an individual so obviously unprepared to become VP. Either he was not serious about becoming president or he was demented. Not exactly the kind of traits you want from a leader.

Back to President-elect Obama- he has the deck stacked in his favor and should come out of the gate strong. Change has come, I hope. Oops, the skeptic in me has come out. I will believe it when I see it. Obama talks a great game and know he has to come through. I will give him time as he has plenty of issues to overcome, but he has all the eyes of the world on him and expectations are extremely high. Good luck to him for all of our sakes.

Halloween

Drew — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 02:34:01 +0000

Halloween was incredible. The Tornado was so cute. She went up to ever door, all ten of them, and said “trick or treat” and “thankcome” and ” happy halloween.” All the neighbors that she was adorable and she got extra candy because she was so charasmatic. I took off of work and the wife made me dress up and we went out as a family. I don’t think I ever enjoyed a day off from work more than that night. The weather was great and we all just had some good ,old fashioned, wholesome family fun. Check out the below pics:

Ahhh

Wow

Hey You, Time to Go
