This blog is for me to develop my writing skills.  If it lets me get some thoughts out of my head and onto "paper" so I can work on them and think it through all the better.  Some of my thoughts are about religion or my lack of religion, about the economy, child raising, guns, common sense, and more common sense.

I'm a stay at home dad for about three months now.  It's different, my background is in the food and beverage (F&B) industry, kids don't respond well to the usual tactics that I would use on my employees and customers.  If an employee doesn't do something correctly; it's just a learning experience, this is what's expected this is what you did, how can we help you do your job better?  Kids don't care.  My room is a mess? you can clean it.  I didn't put my plate in the sink? just get another one from the cabinet.  I truly believe that kids are evil, I don't mean evil like Hitler, Idi Amin or Stalin though.  Evil as in doesn't care about others, very selfish, doesn't really care if causes harm to others, and other actions of a selfish nature.  I know this isn't the proper dictionary definition of evil but what else can you call a mischievous toddler or baby?

Rereading this I noticed how "higgly piggly" it reads, that's what this blog if for, to teach me how to write properly.  Other than skill, imagination, and fame do you know what's the major difference between Stephen King and hundreds of amateur authors?  Mr. King can write for eight hours a day 364 days out of the year.  I'll be happier if I can write an hour a day 300 days a year.  I'll work up from there.

First post done.  Let's see if I can keep it up.
