Greetings My Dear Readers,

It’s been a week or so since my last post.  This week has been turbulent as the adjustment to this new Land of Not continues.

This new land leaves much to be desired as closed minds, self centeredness, and general lack of respect are the dominate themes in this place of little.

This has been a return to a small minded, uneducated culture of old.  Although I understand it and have lived among it in the past I was glad to leave it behind more then a decade ago and hoped never to return to it.

Now that I find myself immersed back in it, for better or worse, I find myself struggling against old stereo types and views that I have worked hard to leave behind, but the small minded, obnoxious masses I deal with daily make it hard to keep these views of old at bay.  

Not that it is all bad, there are some good people and wonderful angels that brighten my world daily, but this land still leaves much to be desired.  The children are lawless and run rampant, where the idea of theft and violence are everyday behaviors, and the parents in the majority of these cases, are no better often teaching and encouraging this behavior in their children.

Another sad and unfortunate aspect of this new location is the lack of childhood.  Many young teens that I’ve encountered, many as young as 15 and 16 years old are pushing a stroller with a young baby and are clearly pregnant with a second child on the way.  Although teen pregnancy rates are high across the country, here it seems exceptionally high.  Babies having babies.

That’s enough for one day.

Until next time,

Your Cold Hearted Bastard,

D.
