Thank God It's Friday

NOVEMBER 20 2009 0809 - JACKSONVILLE FL - Friday, Thank God It's Friday! Got to go in early today for a little training. Things like that are always fun. At the least, it is an hour worth of overtime, so I guess that will work.

 

About Precious. Oh my goodness, I am glad that Tyler Perry distanced himself from the story line of Precious. Tyler assisted in the production efforts, but that was about it. The movie is a loaded bomb just on the verge of exploding.

 

To say that the moving deserved its "R" rating is a true understatement. The story of an illiterate teen mother who was raped by her own father, and lives with her drug addicted mother. To me, it appeared that the personal demons in her life were preventing her from broadening her mental horizons. Low self esteem will do that to a person, and having a mother who feeds that lowered self esteem does not help the situation.

 

Still, as with every vicious cycle, the cycle of abuse can be broken by using the right motivation. It also helps to have someone who believes in you and what you do. Regardless, Precious is not one of those family kind of movies, and certainly not something I would suggest taking the kids to see.

 

Now, shifting gears onto my life. The wife is looking at divorce. That is really fine with me you see, because I would much rather pay child support than the live under the same roof with someone who thinks I am beneath her. It is funny, but years ago she asked me what was wrong with her. We were just friends, but we were not dating, instead I dated other people. So she asked my what I thought was so wrong with her that I would not date her. Well, let us see; She mumbles instead of talking to me, but she is vocally open to everyone else. She sees me only as a source of money and nothing else, She believes that she should be in control of the man in her life instead of allowing an equal partnership, She blames others instead of accepting ownership for her shortcomings. The list can go on forever.

 

I will admit, I am no saint, and I make more than my share of mistakes; however, I realize when I have made a mistake, and I make every effort possible not to allow that same mistake to happen again. That is called learning from experience, something which I am proud that my father taught me as a child. I made a mistake in March 2007 when I said I Do for the 3rd time. Since that time, I have suffered greatly. There will not be another such mistake. I will remain single for the rest of my life after this one falls apart.
