Watching TV today I seen a blurb on the news, were a guy and gal blamed “the man” and “society” for keeping them down and working their fast food jobs for 10 years. Damn ass clowns!

I don’t understand why do people want to always blame their short comings on others?

For instance, one decides to slack off in school and fall in with a slacker crowd. They barely pass high school and have no desire to go to college or join the military or provide some other social service. They are forced to take a job at the local McWendy’s and various other restaurants in the local community over a span of about 10-15 years. Lets not even get into why they had to work at various ones over that time.

Now, they blame everyone else for your socio-economic conditions because:

We made them slack off in high school. We told them to be lazy and not apply themselves and provide a useful service to something greater than them. Because we forced them to slack off in high school we in turn forced them to take a job at the local McWendy’s and all the other fast food restaurants in the area. We also forced them to get drunk, do dope or sleep-in every time they were fired from the other 5 fast food jobs.

Give me a break!

Fast food jobs are for teenagers, retired people and folks who really enjoy that line of work but plan to move up in management or own their own store. It is not a long term career path to run the grill, it should be a means to an end. If you are still working the fry cooker after a couple of years and are out of school or not retired, you really need to revisit your internal drive and above all STOP BLAMING US!

Us being those who made the right decisions, who turned ourselves around when we seen ourselves on the wrong path. Cowboy up, and be a man or woman, take responsibility for your current conditions, take positive action and change it.

Today was another typical weekend for our family. We got up early, headed out to Gannon’s soccer game. The soccer game was a real good one. His team ended up winning 4-3 and they are now 2=0 on the season. Gannon played goal the entire game and did a great job. The other team had a lot of shots on goal so Gannon stayed busy.

After soccer we grabbed some lunch and went home. Once we settled back in we watched Clint Eastwood’s Grand Torino. I liked the movie and think Clint Eastwood is a great actor and director. After the movie we all napped except Gannon. His Halo3 game family came in the mail so he is busy kicking alien tail.

After we all woke up we headed out to eat dinner…AGAIN. Now we are back and I am updating some of my websites.

No real good pics or anything to share this weekend. We may go to a Shrine tomorrow, not sure yet.
