Fucking Sopranos coming back.
Very excited. I love all genres, but two if done right stick out.....Mob and Western. Two shining examples of these are The Sopranos and Deadwood.
Brilliant shows, just brilliant. Bad guys who you root for teach the audience a lesson in confusion and moral ambiguity. Showing bad guy doesn't necessarily mean evil. Fuck I love those shows.
Sopranos has definitely been off the past few seasons, but I have high hopes.
The posting has been erratic, because much like my fellow blogger Kitkat, few people have been pissing me off.
The only real annoyance lately has been the boy. He is hitting that terrible two stage and him and I are dancing a dance I see going well into his teens.
He knows mommy loves him and hates when he cries, so when daddy disciplines him he runs to mommy. Then the little shit stares at me with the "That's right motherfucker I got you." stare.
I would be lying if part of me wasn't proud that he at one and a half was smart enough to realize how to try to play my wife and I against each other. On the other hand I am the boys father, and I cannot tolerate that behavior.
So the wife and I had a sit down. (mob reference) She was brought up much differently than I was. Her parents were very calm people, rarely yelled....rarely were spanked and it shows. I on the other hand would be pulled by my ears if I misbehaved and had the shit kicked out of my dad and his baseball mittlike hands.
I'm not for smacking a little boy around, but a slap on the wrist is a good way to let him know I mean business. I am all for the wifes way of talking to the boy, but when talk fails I stick with what works. I don't like the idea of a time out, because eventually the kid will say "oh I just have to wait 5 minutes and then I can go and misbehave again." My wife has a brother who is 10 or 11 and I don't like what I see as a result of that method.
I think kids are not stupid, but they aren't focused. They need some discipline or else they are gonna run wild. I hate seeing kids who don't know how to play, or don't listen to their parents.
These small steps are my way of making sure that the boy never grows up to be like that.

I was NEVER hit by my father. He was a huge guy with black belt in karate and Judo.
However, that never stopped me from being affraid of getting the shit kicked out of me if I misbehave.
I provavly was hit by him sometimes, just strongly enough to keep me in line.
I totaly agree with you on this. But I just wish wifes would see the world as we see it. much of the game, after all, is her fault for always thinking that letting them be spoiled is not nescessarly a bad thing...
By protecting them they are simply giving a "get out of jail" free card...
