Here it is.. The dreaded parenting blog! Another one! Just fucking great! whoops, I guess I let out the first real hum dinger. I don't cendiddlyensor myself, and neither does the platform!
We are all aware that there is 50 million parenting blogs. Covering every single topic you can think of. Even parenting while practicing BDSM (prolly). We were founded on the right that you can have any interest you want, as long as it doesn't hurt others. However, the internet was always a lawless wasteland where everyone could go to say what they wanted. We really took that idea and ran with it, right into a brick wall. Now everyone is having their fun new interests taken away by the only sources they used to study it.
To say we haven't gone cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs at this point would be silly. Look at all that has happened, and I mean all. Rioting because we sold a killer cop video in a certain demographic, mad because our Standing Puppet lost. Did it all start there? I personally don't think so, I don't even think you can blame Politicians in general. Lets be honest, we have just become that strict of our opinion.
Also, instead of learning from other opinions, we analyze them and compare it to experience we don't have. We are basing our upstanding opinions that no one can tear away, off of folks with names like "Ronald The Idiot Bearded Screaming Clown" and "Maggie From Mass. The Pissed Off Anti 45er Pro LGBTXRZJ-ELLO". And it didn't just start with Trump VS. Everyone.
So how do you stay Dadmented and approved through all this?!
You go back to your interests. Run a parenting page? Well, always remember no Politicians gonna see it, or care. The only ones you influence are parents. Those parents come to you out of boredom and frustration. It's ok to be funny, but we killed the comedy in Politics. If your audience is bored and angry, don't drone on the one thing that makes them bored and angry, you aren't helping.
I started fighting the system at a young age. I was a kid raised on The Simpsons and horror movies.. oh... and I went to a Poison concert when I was 5. In the words of Tom Petty "I was born a rebel" something I do very well is question everything, in every way. It didn't make me too many friends in life but I got some kickass non blood family out of it.
I been there, done that, questioned it, watched it, been grossed out by it, or outraged. And when you've been drug to cowboy bars by friends when your covered in tattoos and wearing vans, you have to adapt and overcome. You don't have to like every experience in life, you just have to benefit from it in some way.
"Hey Mr. equally stupid internet name, how do we fix this one sided view?!"
Well "Mr. or Mrs. I'm just here to read your blog!" (thank you so much!)
I knew things you didn't question, like "Hey pop why do you pay taxes?!" and instead I listened to my Grandpa when he started rambling about being a broke immigrant who "Built this entire place with his own two hands!". Also at this time, I had my fun going to shows for bands named "Government Satire!" or "Defiant Trespass!" and wearing Food Not Bombs patches, and then instead of growing food with my family, I joined the Navy. Sellout...
I earned a lot more mistrust for the Government there. At the same time, it showed me how badly we needed the structure. I saw things that made me miss my home and personal freedom I took for granted. It stopped me from complaining, for a time. And in the end, I am SO FUCKING HAPPY this was not my career choice. Because I really would not want to be in the situation of the American servicemen and women at this moment in our history. Respect, simple.
How do we get it back? What do we even get back? I dunno man, I know however, I'm gonna tell lots of fun stories, and do my best to make them go somewhere in a positive way. I'm gonna have my venting days, but, this is a place for the weird. I want to address the weird conversations, the best way possible, and I'll be covering some intense stuff throughout my days, with the experience to do so. You wont get lectures, just help.. and lots of griping about movies and cartoons and music! It's time to bring the introweb back!
