What the hell is wrong with people?

I subscribe to a great many web feeds. Not everything that comes through them is to my taste, but once in a while something grabs me.

This is the first time in a long time something has pissed me off to my core.

I just watched a video. I got linked to it, but will not link back to it. They deserve no hits – none.

In this video, a woman shoots a treed bear cub. She and a guy she’s with, drag the former bear out of the trees, and he proceeds to bend her over the bear and fuck. They then go have a drink, and set a pack of dogs on the carcass of the bear.

Can anyone tell me why this happened? How you could justify this bullshit?

I am not against hunting. I am not against kink. This is neither.

These people should be hunted down, and hurt – badly, and permanently.

Steam?

Yep. I ran right out of it. Work, kids wife life. They all take it out of you.
I have managed to shut down the damned squirrels again ( I think) and brought down a 30 foot maple branch that was threatening 3 cars, a roof and multiple windows – the amazing part was nothing got hurt except the ugly ass chain link fence, and that I can fix with a sledgehammer.

I am in the midst of writing a long post on sex and parenting and tech and feminism, but it’s taking me a long time. If my train of though gets derailed – forget it.

What do you all want to hear from me? Give me a clue what you wanna hear, or know.

Things a father never wants to hear his daughter say to him, from the mouth of smallest child, this time:
“Dada, get me off NOW!” (meaning of course, that she needs me to put her down.)

A night away, and editing Mars.

The night away from the children went very well. So well, in fact, that I am still recuperating!
Quite a few beers were had, and I ain’t the spring chicken I used to be. I’m also not the drunkard I used to be, but I’m not complaining about that.
Let’s just say there wasn’t much sleep to be had.

Thanks to my baby sister, I don’t think the girls even noticed we were gone.

We arrived home to big hugs, and big smiles.

Oldest is scheduled to begin attending Montessori school next Wedensday. She’s very excited, as are we. I will end up spending quite a bit of time there, I think, as they trade parental labor for tuition. Should be interesting to see how that goes.

Folks, I’m sorry I haven’t been doing “real” writing lately, but my head just isn’t in that space. I do have a couple of things I want to write about, but it seems to be very hard to get into that groove these days.

Something will come soon….

I want to give a quick shout out to Daniel Jalkut of Red Sweater software. I use MarsEdit as my offline blogging app, and it is the best Mac app out there. Easy to use, easy to extend, and great support from Daniel. Please support your small developers!
