A Parent's Struggle....

It is amazing how a child can come to a point that nothing you do or say will have any impact. You can threaten them with a spanking... Take away everything from their room to include their books and only allow school materials... Take away the TV or the games such as Wii or PlayStation and it has no effect on them. You can ground them to their room for a week and even have them do chores till there is no end in sight and still they won't budge in the direction you wish for them to go.

So here and now I am going to make it official... I quit!!! I am done trying to parent a child that shows no interest in doing what is expected and required of him... I will no longer go out of my way to help him with tasks that are his alone or instruct him in the proper ways of doing things until somebody realizes that the education system they use to teach our children is broken. This "No Child Left Behind Act" has totally destroyed any chance America has of producing children with any scope of needed intelligence... Granted we have a few brilliant ones that are in College before they can even drive but haven't we always had that. Granted we have the most students graduating now instead of dropping out than we did in decades past but have we improved education or made it just too easy.

I guess this works on the same principle as it doesn't matter if we win or loose in sports because everybody gets a trophy.. We don't keep score because we don't want the children to feel pressured to win... It would be bad to hurt the other teams feelings with a loss so everybody is a winner... Somebody please shoot that individual that came up with that load of crap... Oh I know he was the one that was always last to be picked... Or sat on the bench for the season because he couldn't stop falling down... Granted I will admit there are a lot of jerks out there that don't understand the meaning of good sportsmanship or just enjoying the game and the idea of congratulating the opposing team on their win or consoling the loosing team by telling them how great they really did play is alien to them but it teaches others when they see these jerks on how not to act...

Ok back on track now... The reason I say these things is because I have had it with the educations system grading children on a curve and promoting them to the next level instead of saying, "You know what, maybe they should stay back this year to build on their knowledge before we promote them." Children are not stupid!!!! They are just like any species on the face of the earth and just like the welfare families they understand that there is no reason to work if you are going to give it to me anyway. Why should they be required to put forth that extra effort if we are not going to take the steps to hold them back. A mind is a terrible thing to waist so why are we working so hard to push children out of school at a rate that produces minimum standards and accepts poor achedemics... For every rule there is an exception to that rule... Would we hold a child into a class when they are capeable of perfoming at college level in the six, seventh or so on grade... So why would we want to promote a child that isn't capeable of performing at the next level without assistance... As I said there is an exception to every rule... Some children need the extra tutoring because they don't grasp as quickly as other but should this extra effort be given to a child that just blatently refuses to do the work or show the effort of accomplishing the tasks unless somebody is standing over him... It is sad to say this but we are the reason this has came to this point but I am but one small voice and until I can find those willing to follow me and support the idea that our educators need to be held responsible for their own actions and that to promote a child who is not ready for the next level is in truth failing that child in more ways and showing that child that nobody really cares what grades they make... They will still get promoted and passed to the next level... I have wrote about this so often and in so many different forms even I am tired of reading this... I will return another day soon...

Lost!!!

I wonder what it feels like to not have thoughts running through your head at light speed… To just set and focus on one passion then move to the other without anything intruding and being able to set in wonder at such a gentle moment of a inner peace. As I set here thinking of what to write I cannot choose what words I should use to mark this page. Should I tell a sinners tale or maybe bring a moment of longing and desire. Will a tear be the ending of this page or a sultry smile? I guess it doesn’t really matter as long as when I slip across this page I should see what is relevant to me and maybe when I strike the final key I will have left a piece of me that you might carry away and hold onto in your darkest hours and with it be brought a smile or a tear, when you know that not all of life is filled with cheer but we still muddle through…

As you know or as you read this you will realize that I have a need to release my soul upon a page. I do not know why this is when I am considered, by most, a very private person. I like to be secluded in my own thoughts more then to enmeshed into the thoughts and concerns of other unless of course that person is my lover then I am greedy to know it all when in truth I can’t give all of that of me.. I wonder if that is entirely fair. Now I think I might know where this page may go as it dawns on me what I really need to say… Sorry for all the rambling.

A craving in the deepest part of my soul is all I know

It hungers and devourers threatening to consume

Limitless and without a restriction it must be fed

A total commitment to not leave anything undiscovered

A burning of my soul to know each inch of exposed flesh beneath my finger tips

A longing to savor a long deep kiss as lips should meet

The feeling of a lover wrapping me tight in her embrace as her legs pull me in and her arms press me tight

Her hair in my hands as my lips find her neck and my teeth sink in

Her body moving in motion with mine in such a sultry dance only true lovers can do

I can’t be confined or held in restraint

This moment has to be a total submission to the end a release of all inhabitations

Passion in its deepest and purest fashion

When bodies are joined and they can’t escape till they are spent

Your soul burning and your heart pounding out of control

Then all of time stands still and without a breath left to be spent on frivolous words

In just one long deep look into another’s eyes you will know

You are Lost

Well I am glad I got that out… ~grins~ I hope you will not think badly of me no matter what crimes of life I might create or actually do but know that passion runs high in this simple shell and the puzzle inside will always be a complex puzzle…. I just hope somebody can one day figure it out…And Soon~~
Michael

P.S. Sorry about that confession thingy... I guess there are just some things some don't need to know.. Or is there...~grins~

Let Us Dance

I want to dance with you

Standing toe to toe with you in perfect silence waiting for the music

Doesn’t matter how crowded the floor may be or if not another soul should exist

You holding onto me and I holding you in a gentle embrace

I don’t want to bounce, bop or even jump about no acting the fool with you

Music soft and slow with a sound so sweet that it could make you weep

Gliding and swaying across the floor lost in the music and the beat of our hearts

Deep into each other we fall not worrying where we might tread knowing each step will fall where it needs to be

Moving apart and turning about coming together again lost is the motion of music and sound it conveys

Heart racing, pulse quickens, each breath a labor to take

Legs weaken, bodies glisten till all we have is each other for support

I want to linger this way knowing the sweet scent of you as we get lost together

I want us as partners unlike any other and to always find myself with you

No matter the trial, no matter the test, it doesn’t matter if we never get the chance to rest

Bodies swaying together from one heart beat to the next knowing this is not something we can resist

When the song ends I want the world to see we are one

No doubt in any mind should linger as it all comes to an end and we are back where we began waiting for the music to start again

I want to always dance with you

Testing One two...`

I am just playing with this at the moment to see how it works... Be patient... Michael

Yes it is Me~grins~

It is amazing that I have been a part of this site since 2006 but have never used it for more then to join it so I could use it for some particular blogs on 360 when I was trying different things. Now that three of the most enjoyable writers have found it and write her regularly it is only natural for me to follow you and hopefully stay in touch with you this small way....

Liane... I don't think you and I could ever hope to be seperated because we are everywhere together... They will have to take the internet away from us completely before we could be seperated

Mary... I have missed your writing and you in so many ways I could never begin to describe how dear you are to me as a friend....

Arryan... I told you once and I will tell you again... The only thing that could ever separate us is us and if it is in my power that will never happen...

It is only appropiate that my first blog be to you three for I am only here again because of you three and for the idea of writing again, for I have had so many thoughts for blogs and such but they have gone lost in my thoughts without a place to share them.... I will be back here often if just to find you... I have missed you more then you could possibly ever know for some of the same reasons and for a lot of different reasons each... You are so dear to me...

Kisses to you,

Michael
