… for not neglecting me by leaving me in a car to die of a heat stroke.
I read the news recently from my hometown about a man who left his 11-month baby in his car while he went to work. His partial excuse for that was because his daily routine had changed for the day. To put it simply, he forgot and through his negligence, his son was killed.
It happens too often and every summer I see at least one news story about this.
The question that comes to mind is how? How can a parent be so willing to forget his/her own child? You figure that you spend so much time and money on this child, this beautiful creature that you have created and to throw it all away because you forgot?
That’s despicable. Yes, we are only humans and we are apt to err, but one mistake shouldn’t cost somebody his/her life. True there are some parents who can be the best parents ever to their child, but it can all be lost with one mistake, one negligent mistake.
So this post is here for me to thank my parents for not neglecting me in such a way. Yes, they were rarely home when I was growing up and perhaps you could call that negligence too, but I know that they were not home because they were working in order for me and their family to have better lives.
I want to add themes, but don’t know what else. Ideas?
(more…)
Too many people do it too often. In my previous post, I received a nasty comment:
OMG I can’t believe you have that article up… You’re supposed to be 19. I think you need to grow up. The world is changing… You better delete that stupid article or I’ll keep on writing nasty comments.
The article in question be found here (opens in new window).
I believe that the tone is quite explicit in that article but the commentator saw the title, read a bit, then jumped to conclusions without fully processing the entire message of the article.
[Edit] Another comment for the same issue:
Judgmental. A bit. Homophobic… yep you are. I think the person who wrote that comment was absolutely right. Grow up. It’s okay to have your opinions but to a certain extent…
What is wrong with gay marriage? Certainly nothing you wrote…
And if you think I’m being “immature” think again. Look in the mirror every once in a while.
I will have a petition. And I will get tons of signatures saying you should take that stupid and judgmental article down. If you would like to contact me…feel free.
Have a couple of people “flame” my site, sure I’m all for it. But hey that means YOU’RE the immature one.
If your article is not down with in 2 days I WILL present you with my petition…
[Edit] This following statement, by far, has got to be my very favorite (the original comment is not in this post, but rather among the other comments from “Anonymous”)
…homophobia is illegal…
I’ll admit that I can often overreact sometimes or think something too quickly, but never would I ever do what this commentator did. I respect what a person wants to put on his/her own webpage. Who am I to dictate what’s there? I also respect others’ opinions, even if they differ from mine and it just peeves me that this commentator did not. Though I must admit it was quite too funny to read this in the morning to realize that the commentator completely overlooked the tone of the article.

Another incident just happened today with a message board that I frequent. Apparently, there used to be another message board with the same name, but it died out. My board (I don’t own it, but I’ll use “mine” to distinguish) was created in January, when the other board was nonexistent. The second board, which just resurfaced in June, just realized that we had the same name, which prompted three of their members, two admins and one member, to bombard my board. One was completely uncivil and nasty; the other two admins tried to be civil about the entire situation, but by their language, they obviously were not.
Anyway, they got upset because they think my board “ripped off” the second board’s name. Seriously folks, it’s a name. It’s not a trademarked name, it’s not something that was widely popular to begin with. There are other people out there with my name, but I’m not going to bash on them, am I? No. If there was another site named “Boscardin,” I would think that it’s cool. Someone else knows about my name and thinks it’s worthy enough to use.
(As of July 23, 2007 the issue has been resolved.)
[Edit] The issue’s been… well, not exactly resolved I should say, but it’s been put down. I admit that my board and I were defensive due to the member that was completely uncivil, so there may have been some heightened emotions. It’s done with and over. Finis.
But yes, overreacting can be funny if you get to witness other people doing it. I must say I got quite a few laughs out of all of these. What would you have done had you been in my situation?

To Shelley: My reply is in the comments. I suggest you read it.
Why is it that sometimes, you happen to think about the future more often than you should? Especially with a future that doesn’t play a role yet in your everyday life?
Unfortunately for me, I’ve been a victim of that one too many times. I’ll sit there, I’ll lay there, and I’ll think about all the different scenarios that could happen and how I would deal with such a scenario. Yes, sometimes it’s gotten my hopes and expectations and up and more recently, it’s gotten me to think about what it is I need to know and what it is I want to know.
The future.
It’s so vague. It’s so abstract. It’s so… debatable. Some can say that your future is already mapped out with fate and destiny. Some argue that you choose your fate. And some say whatever happens, happens.
Honestly, I think that if something is meant to happen, it will happen either sooner or later. I’m not saying that fate plays a role, but there is an underlying, a subtle hint that something is inevitable, then who’s to stop the inevitable?
Time can only tell what the future holds for us. There’s no cheating. No peeking. No illusions to foretell the future. You can only live life one day at a time. (But that doesn’t mean you can’t plan ahead!)
Sorry if I offend you, but lately, I’ve realized that people in general suck.
Actually, I take that back. I didn’t just realize that. Recent events have reinforced the fact that I hate people.
“People” lost my kitty which resulted in mine and Stockton Boy’s paying $150 for a reward when said “people” could have easily returned the kitty to us instead of let her out the fucking front door.
(edit: rephrase) “People” let our kitty out the front door instead of return her to us in the apt. complex which resulted in us paying (another) “people” reward money to return the kitty.
“People” are money grubbing whores.
“People” are slobs.
“People” are lazy fucks.
And only once in a while are you lucky enough to find a person that doesn’t suck so bad. Only sometimes though.
