Guns, they are available everywhere, why not level the
playing field? We are about to embark in
a national debate on firearms. Some
groups want guns in all schools and others want the gun to go away. Personally I am leaning toward more guns with
consequences, I don’t see why having a gun in a school if it is somewhere where
no kid or person with bad intentions would get at it, if the person who has
access to it is trained and really knows how to use and would only use it if
God forbid that a gunman that came in to the school. I also have the same thoughts when it comes
to concealed carry, if you are trained and pass a mental health test, a yearly
mental health test then by all means conceal carry. I also think that we need to add punishments
to those that do not follow the law when dealing with guns maybe a triple or at
least a double sentence. I don’t think
that putting restrictions on purchases of legal firearms is the answer, but I
also don’t think that we need to have ammo out there that is armor piercing,
and clips that are able to hold over 15 rounds.
Thoughts?

Daily Dose of BS Jan 8 Cancelled tv shows
I am not a fan of tv leading up to this week on the tube,
the last few weeks we have been stuck in re-run hell, this week my TiVo has
picked up some of my favorite shows but not for much longer. I am sad to remind you some of the mainstays
in our tv viewing are going away. One of
the shows I didn’t really start watching until I got Netflix 30 Rock is going
off the air that is a well written funny show.
Another show I am sorry to see leave is The Office, I was wondering how long
it would take to go away after Steve Carell left. A few shows never even get the chance to reel
in the viewers for example I really liked Harrys Law with Kathy Bates,
Alcatraz, and just started watching the Mob Doctor only to find out that that
is canceled in fact last night the season and the series wrapped up. I also liked the Finder on fox and will miss Horatio
Caine with his cheesy opening lines and his sunglasses. I wonder why some stupid TV shows stay on and
others that are watched go away? Oh well
here is to the January sweeps and hopefully some good quality hours of tv
watching.

Daily Dose of BS Jan 7 Black Box
It’s Monday and many people hate Mondays, are you one of
them? I am not sure that there are any
days that I like or dislike any other than the rest. I am not a fan of paydays but that is because
I think I got up everyday for this? I
know don’t like it change it, I don’t think that we will ever make what we want
to make will we? I guess we just keep
plugging forward right. I read an
article last night before I went to bed that said that most of the new cars
rolled off the assembly line have a black box, I am not sure I like this, how
can we fight a speeding ticket if the cop can pull the black box data
right? I am not usually a conspiracy guy
but if this is available and has been in most cars this decade wouldn’t it be
lots easier to find who was where and with what vehicle? Won't the government be able to track us with
that technology and know that at 4:35 yesterday afternoon you were driving down
Losey Blvd? At 5 you were parked in the
parking lot at the Mall and at 6:33 your car was parked in your garage. Combine this info with your cell phone and
they will know who you were talking to at what time and for how long where you
were and what you were driving. I am
just saying it’s a lot to think about on a Monday.

Daily Dose of BS Jan 4 Friday finally
Today is Friday time to celebrate, celebrate that we made it
through the week. These short weeks just
drag on; in my mind they take longer than the regular 5 day work week. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from a
friend of mine and I was immediately brought back to a time in my life 3 years
ago when I lost my job. It is funny how
the turn of someone else’s cards can be a reminder of life experiences past in
your life. I could feel his emotion on
the phone and the uncertainty in his voice.
I know when you get laid off that it is the biggest kick in the pants
that you can go through at the time, especially if you are blindsided, but of
most the people I have talked to about this, most have landed in a better and
more challenging, better suited position, where they are appreciated, I guess it
is a chance to start a new chapter or even start over. I am sure that my buddy will do well once he realizes
this, but until then, I feel bad for his situation.

Daily Dose of BS Jan 3 What's in a name
In my 44 years of being on this earth we have seen a lot of
changes from our technology we always have a phone with us, we have instant access
to everyone’s thoughts with the help of twitter and facebook, we have seen changes in our cars, and houses
to the things we buy and eat…heck a dozen years ago I would have never bought
bottled water, let alone ordered a glass of water at a restaurant and now water
is my favorite drink. The reason I bring this up is because I was
thinking I don’t know any kid named Bob, when I was growing up there where
about 15 of us in my class from Rob, to Robby, and Bob to Bobby and don’t
forget about Robert. I was born in 1968 and then the top names were
Michael, David, John, James and Robert….for the boys and Lisa, Michelle,
Kimberly, Jennifer and Melissa for the girls. Number one for 2012 was Aiden
for boys and Sophia for girls and Robert is nowhere in the top 100. The
top name for many years Michael isn’t even in the top 5 any more in fact it
slipped to number 16 for boys and none of the girls names from 1968 made it to
this generation. To see where your name ranks check out the Social
Security Administrations website http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/
