Everything Gone Numb

Trying to decide if I should stick to my plan and not go to sleep tonight, or cave and crash. Poorly constructed sentances un the mean while...

I think my body would best run on a thirty-six hour clock. Awake for twenty four hours, sleep for twelve. This ten, fourteen thing is not working out in my favour.

I sleep too much these days.

Blessed be the Internet. Three days of downloading and I got the traditional Chinese version of Simcity 3000.

I think I am going to buy Tyler a new video card for this thing. It would be nice if it ran a few games with out making me hate myself.

So how much longer do people have to keep saying that, “they do not teach you how to raise children,” before some one starts teaching people how to raise children? Most people I have spoken to on the matter did not realized that playing peek-a-boo with your child develops their esteem, and helps to teach that although you may not be around, you will be back. An important thing to know about your parents. These are the things that should be taught. Of course if you are committed enough to read a book on raising a child you are arms and legs ahead of most people.

How do you teach people how to teach their children not to lie? How to do their homework? How to avoid sending mixed messages with your disciplinary choices. I believe my habits and lifestyle now are largely a results from the time I spent as a child with my parents and genetics.

Our system now is too ridged and focused on only a part of the picture. We need to rethink how we deal with teaching, starting much younger, with a more open end. I just keep thinking about all this wasted potential. Positive roll models! That is what these kids need.

I often feel that it has gotten all too large.
That we should be living smaller.

The good of the community has been lost in a wash of self-absorbed commercialism. Bah. I am all sleepy and ranty.

Makes me wish I had something to say.

I am going to go get a sweater.

Got a sweater, I feel better.
Did the dishes, baked some biscuits.

The Chinese version of SimCity had the English version with it.
So I guess this means I am going to go play some simcity.

Uehen there
