Cool site

I found a website that I really enjoyed and thought I would share it with you all. Going through it, I was taken back to those younger years with Lena. I'm pretty sure the two of us had mastered most of these before the end of junior high.

So this blog's for you Lena!!

My sister - Was she natured or nurtured??

As most of you know, I have a 17-year-old sister. Said sister has just insulted the act of blogging (as if I am too old or something!!) so as my form of revenge, I am going to blog a bit about Bec. Her name is Rebecca and she can be pretty cool for a kid, although she does have her moments. She is the product of my father and stepmother, and that, combined with our extreme age difference, means that we did not grow up in the same household. This, I think, makes a good case for nature versus nurture. Although she and I are very similar in many ways, our teen years have been quite different from what I gather. 

As i am, she is mouthy and obnoxious and sarcastic and a bit jaded, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. She seems to hang out with a good crowd of kids, which I did not always do. I dont believe she skips school (I was a pro by 10th grade), and from what I can tell (and I hope she would share if I am wrong), she has stayed away from drinking and drugs. So why, you ask, is she so ... so ... so, shall we say, cranky? I just don't know. I'm sure she would say it is because her family annoys her, and, truthfully, that is a viable answer.

But this leads me back to the nature versus nurture issue. As I stated, she and I were not raised in the same household, yet I am mouthy, obnoxious, sarcastic and a bit jaded as well. So maybe it comes from our father, you say. Well, the answer there is clearly yes; our father (who art not in heaven, but probably art at the office) is also mouthy, obnoxious, sarcastic and jaded BUT, our father (who art still not dead and for this we are mostly pleased) is a workaholic who spends more time smoking cigars and avoiding his family than at home where bundles of women pick at his wallet amidst nags (well, at least I would, can't really speak for the others). Thus, his nurturing rather sucks, since it's usually followed by "I'm with a client, I'll call you back." Therefore, I posit that both my sister and I are mouthy, obnoxious, sarcastic and jaded due to nature.

Now, I understand that many of you are thinking "what about the mothers? doesn't their nurturing and naturing count?" The answer to that, my friendly followers, is NO. After 33 years of study, I have deemed my father's family's genes to be so strong that they kill out any others and take over a descendent, making them a replica of my father, his father and, I am sure, his father before him.

My First Blog

Welcome one and all to my blog about it all! Here I will touch on every topic that crosses my mind, from television to music to nightlife and more! Whatever ridiculous thought crosses my mind, I will share with you, my dear readers.
