Summer Showdown: Random Thoughts for June

Dear Friends,

First and foremost, let me apologize for the lack of updates. During the summer, my days are filled with stress and bliss from work. Usually around June and July, I get hectic and busy. I am going to try to make up for lost time and also bring some fresh input into my life and also new aspects. With that said, I am going to let this be a blog about random thoughts for the current lapse of time that I have not been blogging. I know I do a lot of random thoughts but then again, it is better than nothing.

During my hiatus, I have been doing a lot of picture taking. Mostly of places near work, downtown, and also some interesting buildings throughout the city. I find picture taking is sort of like therapy. I see that my city is dying. I don’t have many memories in the city. Buildings are decrepit and falling apart. No more history but empty land and burned down shells. That’s sad to say when there are places in the U.S. that have history and buildings that live on forever.

The other day, I was on the bus going to work. I notice these girls talking about giving head to their boyfriends. As I listened, I was appalled to hear women speak like that. I guess because I am use to women talking about women issues but not deep throat. What made me more sickened is that these women were loud about deep throat. I find that people younger than me are more brazen and really have not much class with things like that. I guess next time; I will have my mp3 player on and up.

Something I noticed in the last five years is that kids are drawn to me. I think since my son was brought into the world, I have some kind of draw to kids. I find it funny because even at work, kids do come to me. I wish I could say I like this but the pain of not seeing my son makes this uneasy for me. I am not bitching about this but I hope that once I do see my son, I could appreciate this weird thing.

Finally, I am a kid at heart but not a true kid at heart. I don’t do amusement parks. I have never gone to Cedar Point or King’s Island or even Boblo Island back in the day. My mother was not into taking to these places and I never really got the appeal of those places. I have a kid and I am an uncle. I don’t think I could take any kid to a place like that. I might change my mind once I let go of my lack of appeal.

I do have more to come. I will try to write more. I also want to make sure that people see that I am normal but I also have faults. I am human and I am not perfect. Thank you all for reading and I will speak to you all soon.
