Stupid Decisions Made By Local School Districts

The Puyallup School District has decided to ban all Halloween costumes and parties from its 31 schools this year. The District said that parties took away from learning time and the costumes could offend people who practice the Wiccan religion, you can read the full article here.



Are they serious, next thing you know they will wall up the windows because the outside world is taking away from "The Learning Time", how about you get better textbooks, get rid of the drug problems and the bullies or stop getting rid of school programs to cut money. I mean seriously have you every seen any work place that didn't throw a social event once or twice during work hours. I seriously doubt it, why because relaxed workers are more productive then stressed out one. So why do we expect our children not to need the same.



Now stop freaking worrying about offending people, everything can offend someone if you look and try hard enough. Better get rid of all the holidays, stop serving meat, no more computers, destroy all pictures, books, music and NO MORE SCHOOL MASCOTS! Because it will offends other schools.



If this trend keeps on I think will are going to fuck up our kids. Because children are being told 2 totally different ways to do things in life. The first being that you should be I workaholic robot without emotion or distraction, the second being that you should be over emotional and take everything personal.



Here is a little experiment to try: throw stick and then tell your dog to fetch and then sit at the same time (IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN, so again why would you expect children to do the same.)

Well I have been working my ass off. Between The Fall RV Show, The Chamber of Commerce Expo 2004, Joyce Meyer Ministries and The Holiday food and gift show I have worked 17 days most of them being 10 hour days with only 2 days off in between. Ok enough whining, yeah I have been busy but it isn't like I had anything or anyone for that matter that I needed to do (any volunteers). I now have a week and a half off due to an event being cancelled, but I have a few things I need to do so I won't totally be bored. The events were the usually load up the cars, listen to people bitch and moan and drink lots of Starbucks to stay awake. Although I do have 1 stupid story that came from work. A man threaten to sue the Dome because his wife drove their car too far into a parking spot and hit the curb, cracking the plastic skirt under the bumper. His reasoning was it is the dome fault because the way the curb was shaped ( I think he just needed to yell and blame someone, besides his wife. LOL)

Last Weeks Event: Fall RV Show

Posted by Xyiko | | Posted on 9:12:00 PM

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the Fall RV Show brought to you by O'Loughlin Trade Shows. Now with that said, I really don't understand the draw this show has with people. You pay to park and then pay again to enter the dome, so you can spend money to buy an RV (I don't freaking get it). The week had it usual parade of annoyed people and bitchy old people (SHIT, STUFF DOES NOT STILL COST ONLY A QUARTER!). But, besides that it was the same old boring stuff.



Just glad it is over.

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Work Is Where I Had To Go

Yep, I have been working the past three days. The 11th Annual IWASIL celebration of Native American song & dance and Auntie Amy's RUBBER stamp show were at the Dome. The Pow-Wow looked cool and had some good food, but I was surprised at the lack of people who came to the show. Although the low show of people I still ended up working a 14 hour day on Tuesday (UGH!).



On a different note, my little sister called me on Saturday to tell that she is 6 feet tall and she is only 15 (ummm, Damn). I haven't seen her in a year, so finding that out was a total shock. The only advice I could give her was "Watch Your Head" and "Don't Fall Down".



Anyway Later People

Death Of Common Sense (Repost)

I posted this a while back, but I thought I should repost it again.



The Death Of Common Sense



Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in Bureaucratic red tape.



He will be remembered as having cultivated such lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair.



Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are In charge).



His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.



It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.



Finally, Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.



Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement.



Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still know him pass this on; if not, join the majority and do nothing.

I Bet You Thought I Was Gone, NEVER!

Well, between helping my friends move, work and other things I haven't been able to make a post until today (sorry Vadergrrl, guess I'm just a bad boy). So lets play catch up shall we.



Last Tuesday:

I got the new Xbox game: FABLE,it is a very cool game. (you can good or evil, punt chickens, steal, shoot lightening, chop off a person's head and even get married and have sex. Well the sex scene is just a black screen with a very scripted sounding female voice / bad fake moaning. So for a few people it will be just like the real thing, ha ha BURN!) Into between playing Fable I washed clothes and watched some TV.



Wednesday/Thursday:

I spent most of these two days just helping my friends move to their new place. But I did catch the Season Premiere of Smallville on Wednesday. (I seriously felt like I was watching the second episode of the season instead of the first episode, I know it takes place three months after the finale, but a whole bunch of major stuff happened and everyone is just acting like it is just a another boring day.)



Friday:

I worked at the Dome from about 9:30 am until 6 pm selling parking permits for the Tacoma Dome Antique & Collectibles Show and it was payday too, so at lunch I hopped on the Link and went to my Bank and stood in line for 45 minutes. (PLEASE! Don't wait until lunch time to cash your eight Social Security checks that you have been saving all at once, some of us have to get back to our job.)



Saturday/Sunday:

um.... Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work, Work ,Work, Work, Work and more Work.



Monday:

Helped my friends unpack their stuff and played with my Godson.



Well that should bring you up to speed (as if most of you care, anyway)
